was in mcs yesterday doing my quarterly reconnections with our favorite stores.

was planning to have lunch at emer's but was closed, looking forward pa naman for either chopsuey rice or beef broccoli rice.

i asked my suki san masarap and he pointed me to Aida's Inasal (beside emer's).

i ordered crispy spareribs with mushrooms, my son had adobong pata and my daughter had chicken inasal.

while waiting for our orders, my eyes gazed around the resto and noticed there were a lot of artworks around: painting, metal figures and others. 

to my surprise, in one corner there was an audio set-up with a lot of cds lying around.  i asked my son to take a picture: pioneer cdp, HK integrated, Fisher integrated and a big epos BS.



just sharing, thanks for reading.

by the way, the food was excellent, no pics though.   ;D

Epos na pala ang gamit nila. I also like eating there compared to Emers. The last time I was there, they were using Wharfdales.

was visiting the museum houses in Taal - Lemery area during the weekend before election.  look what I found in the Villavicencio house (where some scenes from Gen Luna movie was shot).  this is an internet pic, my son has the orig pics.  it was inside an old stereo cabinet. I said to my son, "buksan natin yung stereo cabinet" and ta-dah.



matched with vintage JBL bigbookshelf seating on the floor.  sabi ng taga bantay, "ginagamit ng may-ari pagbumibisita dito."  was planning to make an offer pa naman.

last weekend, the family was in Bataan, "Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar".  I made another discovery.

in the convention hall of "Hotel De Oriente"



I found this Avante Garde speaker in working condition.











my son is 5'8" tall.

other items (for restoration) found in the different houses from different locations in Luzon that were transferred to the resort as part of the collection. 

the concept of the resort is the owner buys houses owned by historical personalities, disassembles them and build them up from ground up. yung may ari kasi, eh may-ari din ng San Jose Builders hence the passion for houses.













thanks for looking.   ;D
