What's it like working at UP Ayala Land Technohub?

It's like being back in high school or college! Except that instead of the serious part being studying, it's now 'working'.

Back in school, we usually maxed our break times didn't we? We went to our favorite stores to buy just anything - ice cream, chips, a pen. We went to our favorite hangout restaurants/fastfood joints. We went out in packs.

My buddies at work and I do all that everyday. We maximize our 1hour lunch break and our coffee breaks. We go down to MiniStop almost everyday, usually to buy cheap but heavenly ice cream. We go to National Bookstore if we feel like buying a pen and of course if we need to buy anything from a bookstore. :) We go to KFC if we feel like eating yummy fast food. And now that we're earning, we can choose to go to a range of restaurants at the Retail Center.

Sometimes, we just need to get out of the office, see the wide open space, talk loud, laugh out loud, see the sun, see other people enjoying the day. There's a really wide open space at UP Ayala Land Technohub. There's lots of grass. There are fountains. There are ponds.

The environment is a mix of business and leisure. The ambiance is serene and relaxing. The pace is unhurried and stress-free. But then you go back to the office eventually. Back to the real world! :)

Kidding aside, with all the de-stressing you have experienced maximizing your break times out of the office, you may not even notice that it's time to go home again.

Updates on the Hershey's Dark Choco Ice Cream at MiniStop Technohub

Here's an update on that best-seller ice cream at MiniStop UP Technohub that I had(have) such a craving for. Peak ice cream buying time is after lunch and during coffee break in the afternoon. At these times, people really line up for it. Age range is from about 6 to about 60. No kidding!

While you're waiting in line, you get to pray that the ice cream machine would not break as it sometimes has the habit of doing so. You also pray that there would still be enough ice cream for you, dark choco flavor please, specifically. You should be specific when you pray. And, when it's your turn, you have to wait for about a minute or more because the cashier/ice cream maker says that they need to slow down as they make the ice cream as it is usually still soft at peak times.

Have you tried it already?

Eat-all-you-can Breakfast at Ral's at UP Technohub?

I am not sure if the restaurant is Ral's. I have never tried it yet. But it's probably the restaurant where there's currently an eat-all-you-can breakfast promo. Price is P150 I think. I still have to check it out. If you're interested, you can always check it out at the UP Ayala Land Technohub.

Ral's is one of the restaurants at the Retail Center of the Technohub. It's at the first level.

I finally tasted the MiniStop dark choco ice cream!

In fairness to MiniStop, I went there again, this time not hoping for that dark choco ice cream to avoid getting disappointed if ever the machine was still broken, and lo and behold!

Day4: I was able to buy that choco ice cream and when I tasted it, it was like heaven! It probably was not that good but then again, cravings are cravings. At least at the moment when I was enjoying it, it was like fulfilling one thing on my bucket list before I return to dust.

I still have not tasted the chocolate-flavored ice cream at MiniStop Technohub!

This is such a frustration!

Day1: My friends and I used our afternoon break at the office to go to MiniStop Technohub to buy the new chocolate-flavored ice cream. When we got there, the chocolate-flavored ice cream is all gone! Such a best-seller. So I settled for the vanilla.

Day2: We came back hoping we could buy that choco ice cream this time. When we got there, the ice cream machine, they said, was not functional.

Day3: We again came back, forever hopeful. The machine is still broken!

The brat in me is already shouting WHAT THE **** IS WRONG with their business process there?! Does it take ages for the ice cream machine to get fixed? Don't you guys know that to some people ice cream is comfort food?! I want that chocolate ice cream NOW! Not the chocolate ice cream that you can get from their freezer, but the chocolate ice cream that comes out of that broken ice cream machine! No Substitutes!
