Mugshot project

This is a long-overdue project (an idea, actually) which has not materialize for almost a year, until only yesterday as I was forced to do a presentation to introduce the new Joiners in our project. I've been searching all over the net for a decent mugshot maker  but found no luck. So I ended up doing my own using the very handy Photoshop. I would like to share a couple of my photoshop experiments:

Dampa Foodtrip at G-squared

After almost 2 years, I finally got to set my feet again at Macapagal seaside for another Dampa Adventure.

Our team decide to spend our team building budget on a satisfying dinner, so off we went to Macapagal seaside.

To those who weren't familiar with the paluto system, Dampa restos business is to serve/cook food whose ingredients which were personally bought by the customers in the nearby market, mostly (but not limited to) seafood.

You had a wide variety of choices of Dampa restos in macapagal seaside, but G-squared has most of the best feedbacks and reviews I read. Though we considered Aling Tonya's and Trinity, since there were also good reviews about the last two, Aling Tonya's prices are relatively steeper compared to G-squared (from the quotes they had given us), while Trinity does not accept Wet Marketing Service, only paluto. Since we don't have the time to buy the seafood ourselves, we end up with G-squared. My first Dampa experience was in Sharmila though, and I might say that they also serve delicious food too.

Our orders:

Calamares

Calamares was really superb!! The best bet for our dinner. I really like the sauce (a bit sweet, but it complements the deep-fried squid)

Chili Crab

The first one I have tried, and though spicy, the crab was really tasty. Though the crab they served was a male ( I guess). There's no crab fat (*sigh)

Buttered Shrimp

The buttered shrimp meal was delicious, except for a few comments:

• 
  
  Size - I wasn't expecting that they will serve shrimp, though we ordered "prawn", there should be a difference right?
• 
  
  Shrimps were overcooked

Green Mango Salad

I was the one who insisted ordering Ensaladang Mangga, since I like it so much. But I end up eating only small portion because the mango was so sour, unlike other green mango salads I had tried before.

On top of these food, we also ordered Inihaw na Liempo, and Sinigang na Salmon sa Miso, 2 bowls of white rice and 2-1.5L softdrinks/juice.

We weren't able to finish everything we ordered (we're 6) so we have some leftovers to take home. All in all, we spent around Php3,500 for everything (including the paluto and wet marketing services).
