Have a Bypass (burger)



Project365 Frame 158

I visited the downtown area yesterday to meet up with my friends & cowokers. We had lunch at the Heart Attack Grill along Las Vegas Blvd & Fremont Street. Being a Guinness record holder of the world's most unhealthy restaurant, we've got to try their products out of curiosity. By their menu offering of outrageously named burgers like the single bypass burger which is actually a regular single patty cheese burger, one can just imagine how a quadruple bypass burger would look like. Their butterfat shake has the world's highest fat content. Their french fries are advertized as being deep fried in pure lard. The rest in their menu are all dangerously unhealthy. After finishing my double bypass burger, my verdict is that it just taste like an ordinary cheese burger that I can find in my work's cafeteria or the burger that you can make at home. I found my own spinach cheese turkey burger much better than the bypass burgers. Their gimmick of hot nurses as waitresses, doctors as bartenders, all customers in surgical gowns and the perception of death after eating their food items are the big attractions for the tourists. Their caloric contents?....these are no different from McDonald's, Burger King, In-N-Out burgers and other burger joints out there.  Of course you'll drop dead one day after eating these burgers everyday, breakfast, lunch & dinner. By the way, if you could not finish you food, your sexy nurse would spank you with a paddle, just like mothers do.

Freebies

Project365 Frame 157


Every time I go to my favorite Starbucks Cafe, I always use their free Wi-Fi connections. Logging into their free network, you will get some perks like free music downloads and free Apps. They always have these credit-sized cards with access codes that you can use to redeem these "goodies" from the Apple iTunes and App Store. If you don't like these downloadable "goodies" you can always delete them from your Apple devices. Most of the free music downloads are from Indie artists and upcoming artists. If you are also in luck, the App pick of the week might be the one you've been looking for. My latest downloaded App was called Over, where you can put texts in different fonts, color and sizes into your photos before sharing them online. They also have several templates that you can use for additional in-App purchases.

Morning Starter

Project365 Frame 156

What a way to start the morning. On my way to the gym, I dropped by Starbucks for my favorite hot mocha with soy instead of milk. Coupled with a piece of banana walnut bread and some morning news over my iPad, life is still that enjoyable.

Sleepless in Vegas

Project365 Frame 155


It's not actually sleepless. I worked extra day last Sunday so I planned to postpone my dinner treat for my dad for Father's Day. I slept early on Monday morning after work thinking that we could go out late in the afternoon. Unfortunately my mom was not feeling well so we cancelled our plans. I actually slept almost 10 hours and when I woke up it was already about 10pm. After watching tv for awhile, I went back to my room to try to go back to dreamland but unfortunately I only kept on tossing and rolling on my bed. There was nothing else to do so I just played around with my iPhone cam and the resulting is this collage of my selfie pictures that I just did.

BURGR - Best in Town?

Project365 Frame 154

A weekend ago, I had a chance to meet up a coworker and dine at BURGR owned by a famous celebrity chef from Food Network, Gordon Ramsay, hence the spelling of his new restaurant's name. Unfortunately, I was a little late in going there and we had to catch up a show later. I wasn't able to enjoy much of the food because we were in such a hurry. They say its one of the best gourmet burger in town but it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to enjoy my burger sandwich. My burger had a fried egg in it and I even forgot its name. Anyway I decided that I need to go back to BURGR and try to enjoy my time in there. Maybe I could get a better review of it next time around. I think they deserve a second visit or two.

Dining Nook


Project365 Frame 153


Over the weekend, I went to watch a movie and on my way home I felt hungry. It was already very late and most of the restaurants were already closed for the day. Fortunately, I passed by a Subway Restaurant and they are open 24 hours. I went inside and since it was late already, I was the only customer that time. I was then able to snap a picture part o the interior of the place.

Starting the Day

Project365 Frame 152

I went to a Starbucks Coffee joint this morning before going to the gym for my Zumba. While sipping on my hot soy mocha, I took a picture of my cup and played around with a photo app on my iPhone. First of all I used its blur feature by selecting an element that I wanted to remain in focus while blurring the rest of the picture. Next I chose the filter that complemented well with the scene. Finally I chose a frame that made the picture looked like an old photograph.

Follow the Leader?

Project365 Frame 151

Driving home along the freeway from work this morning, I happened to be following another car with with a most fitting caption written on its back or rear windshield. It said "COME FOLLOW ME" and I literally been following it.

Oil on Canvas

Project365 Frame 150

I'm on it again, trying to capture artworks on display in my work place. In one of the hallways in the hospital where I worked, this is one of the framed paintings on display.

Quickie Breakfast

Project365 Frame 149



I had a quickie breakfast this morning with a friend before I went to the gym. I made sure that I only had a very light meal since I was going to do the Zumba. They said that you may eat a meal at least 2 hours before you exercise and that was what I did. We went to IHOP(International House of Pancakes) and while waiting for our order, I snapped the above picture of the restaurant's window looking out to the street.

Makeshift Polarizer

Project365 Frame 148

I went to Red Rock Resort & Casino this afternoon to watch a movie. After the movie on my way to the parking lot, I saw that the sun was almost setting. It was still hot outside even if it was already around 7:20 pm. I tried to get a picture of the sunset but it was too bright for my iPhone camera. Then I tried to use my sunglasses as a filter. The polarized sunglasses was a very good filter. It served as a good UV filter as well as a polarizer. It dimmed the sun's rays a little bit so the resulting image was not overexposed.

Ebook Reading

Project365 Frame 146

I just got my copy of Dan Brown's latest novel Inferno. This time though, its an electronic copy commonly called an eBook. In the past, I've been acquiring "audio books" and listened to them on my iPod or on any mp3 players. This is another format of electronic books that are also gaining popularity. Audio books are more popular with busy people who doesnt have the time and luxury to sit and read an actual book. What's more, it is very portable. You just listen to it just like listening to music from your   portable devices using a headphone. For those people who still are into actual reading, eBooks are for them. You need devices like an eBook reader, or any tablet in the market today. You can still use your computers or laptop but to be more portable, tablets are the devices to use. What's cool with eBooks is that you can highlight any word on the text in order to define it or to find more related information by automatically cross-referencing that word to available information from the internet. You can also adjust the text sizes to suit your reading preferences. Bookmarks is also a cool feature to directly resume your reading where you had left off. By the way, eBooks & audio books are much cheaper to buy as compared to buying the actual hardcopy of the book.

Morning Coffee

Project365 Frame 145

It's a Wednesday, my first day back to work for this week. To start my day I'll be going to the gym but dropped by Starbucks first for my hot soy mocha. Sipping on my coffee outside the coffee shop, I saw this small bush of flowers that I need to take a picture of. Taking it on another perspective, it looked like its a whole wall of these flowers when actually its only a foot high.

Another Day in the Gym

Project365 Frame 144

On Tuesday morning, I went to the gym to attend my Zumba class. Most of the time when I go to the gym, I usually get my favorite power lift smoothie from the Juice Bar. Its a good protein source after an intense workout. It consist of a ripe banana, blueberries, apple juice, protein powder & yogurt. Try it, so easy to do. I did my own power lift at home and it was as good as the one I get from the Juice Bar.

A Great Day to Remember

Project365 Frame 143

It's a very gorgeous day today. Woke up early and planned to go to the gym for my Zumba class unfortunately group classes today were cancelled because its Memorial Day. Before I went to the gym, I needed some caffeine fix so I dropped by the Starbucks for a tall hot mocha.

Talking about Memorial Day today, I would like to thank all that have served and those currently serving in the military for putting themselves in harms way just to protect the very freedom that we are enjoying today. We also remember those that have fallen and those that are injured.  You are our true heroes. Thank you for your sacrifices.

Breakfast

Project365 Frame 142

Had breakfast today after work with a friend. We went to one of our favorites, Panera Bread Café. We had soufflé, panini sandwich and some iced acaì tea. With the hot weather starting, iced beverages is now the fad.

Light Fixture 2

Project365 Frame 141

Eating in a restaurant most recently allowed me to take another picture of a lighting fixture. This time around it has more of a contemporary style rather than eccentric.

Kung Fu Panda

Project365 Frame 140

Is he doing an arabesque or a kung fu side kick?
When I was watching a movie over the weekend, I saw this life size prop of Kung Fu Panda set on a corner of the theater lobby. I saw the two movies and love it though. Inwas alone at that time and if only I had somebody with me, I could have gotten a picture of myself and the panda. I guess I was a silent fan.

Bright Morning Sun

Project365 Frame 139

This is just a random picture that I took in our neighborhood one morning on my way to the gym. I used this in my InstaWeather app for that day. What I love about this picture is that I was able to catch the bright sun without overexposing the whole image. I was only using my iPhone camera so it could have been better if I used my DSLR camera. I guess my phone cam did a good job with it.

Emergency Arts

Project365 Frame 138

This is just a random street picture that I took at a portion of the Las Vegas downtown area. The main focus is an old medical center being converted into an Emergency Arts Center. They still retained the hospital motif where the old ward rooms are now housing different art galleries. The lobby on the corner ground floor is now a bar/cafe.
