Because Shakey’s will be celebrating their 40th on March 15, I came up with 40 things we love at Shakey’s! Happy 40th Birthday Shakey’s!!!!

1. Trip down memory lane.. 40 years? That’s a lot of years and a lot of memories too! The husband says they usually hang out at Shakey’s because of the live bands (and beers!) as for me, Shakey’s is the first pizza I tasted.. and the taste is still the same! Every bite brings me back to my first Shakey’s experience.

2. Thin Crust Pizza! It’s the only pizza that’s guilt free.. you can eat 3 to 4 slices without thinking about the carbs.. because it’s thin crust!

3. Manager’s Choice Pizza. The IT Pizza.. nothing comes close to that pizza experience while eating a slice (or 4!) of Manager’s Choice Pizza.

4. Shakey’s Giant Pizza! Giant Pizza that can even satisfy my superheroes appetite!

5. Shakey’s Grand Slam Pizza. And we can opt for a smaller one if we’re not on our superhero mode. Shakey’s Grand Slam Pizza is 18 inches.

6. The Chicken. It has a very distinct taste, paired with its gravy, extra rice please!

7. And the Mojos too!

8. Shakey’s Carbonora… our favorite pasta from Shakey’s. It’s creamy and generous on the ingredients (mushroom and bacon). It’s delicious and comforting, hot or cold, Shakey’s carbonara is the best. Argh! Now I am craving for a platter!

9. Buffalo Wings and the sauce. A recent discovery. We usually order Chicken but from a Shakey’s event I attended, I got the chance to taste their buffalo wings… the next thing I knew, my kids can’t get enough of it! As for me, I fell in love with the sauce. Yum! Yum! Yum!

10. Salad, because they use my favorite salad vegetables, romaine lettuce.

11. Wings ´N Rings combo. It’s the perfect movie time finger food (even better than popcorn! haha)

13. Garlic bread.. Sati loves garlic bread and either we give her our share or we have to order another basket.

14. Ice cream or anything on their dessert menu.

15. Bunch of lunch Wholesome Combo. When I’m alone and and still want to eat at Shakey’s, this combo is the answer. Bunch of lunch combo includes Chicken, Spaghetti, Garlic Bread, a slice of Hawaiian Delight Hand-Tossed Pizza and Mojos for only 188 PhP.

16. Monster Meal Deal. Perfect meryenda package when we have company.. like when my oldest son brings half of his classroom at home (or when we have a simple birthday party). Monster Meal Deal includes 2 Large crisp brick-oven-baked pizza: Manager`s Choice and Pepperoni Thin Crust; 2 platters of rich and flavourful pasta: Classic Spaghetti & Carbonara Supreme; 1 awesome twosome 12 pieces Chicken `n` mojos Party Pack; 3 Pitchers of ice cold Coke. Price: PHP 2,583.00

17. Grand Slammin’ Deal is another favorite, specially when we’re craving for different pizza flavor. This deal includes 18´´ Grand Slam Pizza w/ 4 flavors, Mojos Supreme, 7pcs. Chicken, 2 1.5L of coke. Price: PHP 1,700.00

18. Interiors. One reason why we love dinning at Shakey’s is their interiors. You can enjoy eating without thinking if you’re on the way of another customer. They planned their sitting very well.

19. Parking Space. and if the interior is good, well their exterior is the same specially the parking area. If you have noticed, Shakey’s restaurant has an ample parking space.

20. Branches. With over 100++ branches, we can always have our favorite pizza and buffalo wings (and carbonara and so on) wherever we go. They have branch in Cabanatuan City, in Baguio, in La Union and in Tagaytay. These are the places that we visit often.

21. Function rooms for parties.

22. Shakey’s Party Packages. Food packages for 2000+ PhP for 10 persons (includes pizza, pasta, chicken and drinks) and kiddie package meal for as low as 160 PhP. Shakey’s Party Package is one of the cheapest and most sulit package for a party!

23. Shakey’s Party Themes. The last time I checked they have Justice League Party theme but you’ll never know, they might add something new this year as they celebrate their 40th!

24. Buffet Set up on party. This is the most practical set up for me. I do not like the idea of giving each table plated meal as not everyone can consume the same amount of food. With buffet set up, guests can get another servingfreely (or less if on diet.. does this word exist with Shakey’s? NO!).

25. Shakey’s Fun Zone. And this I only got to know during the Justice League Party event we attended. Although not all branches have Fun Zone, some branches will do for a while.

26. Free coins on party. If I am not mistaken, when you book a party on a branch with Fun Zone (and order a giant pizza) you’ll get free Fun Zone coins! Hurrah for more play time!

27. Shakey’s friendly crews.. need I say more?

28. Bar. If some branches have fun zone, some branches have a bar. Katipunan branch has it all. Shakey’s bar offers beer and liquors (I only got to know during the round table discussion we attended).. It makes me think of a Friday date night with the husband.. obviously, without the kids.

29. Shakey’s Easy To Remember Delivery Number: 77-777

30. Order Online. And because we don’t have a landline phone, online ordering is my best friend.

31. Shakey’s Mobile App. I once tried ordering online from my mobile phone through their website.. it was such a hassle.. now I am really thankful for the new mobile app. Ordering is easy and the interface is friendly. Shakey’s Mobile App is available for Android and iOS.

32. Paypal Option. Now this is the best part of Shakey’s Online Ordering.. they accept PAYPAL!!!! woohooo All online workers unite!

33. Send a Shakey’s. And another online ordering feature that we love. We can send some love to our family in Nueva Ecija through this!

34. Shakey’s Delivery Policy: If it’s LATE, It’s FREE!

35. SHAKEY’S PIZZANATIC SUPERCARD. It’s more than just a loyalty card and discount card. Loyalty card gives you points, discount card gives you discounts… Shakey’s Supercard gives us FREE PIZZA! The Shakey´s Pizzanatic SuperCard costs Php 299 only.

36. They invite us to their events. I can’t deny it.. it makes us feel closer to Shakey’s. And their events are fun and food is overflowing.

37.  Shakey’s Countdown to 40 Scratch Card Promo (and other past promo). It makes us feel that they really give back to us, their costumers. The Countdown to 40 scratch promo is in celebration of their 40th anniversary. This is only until March 15, 2015 so hurry!

Notebooks and pens are my weaknesses.. and anything from Yellow Cab! So imagine my delight (and disappointment..see next open/close parenthesis phase) when I saw the Yellow Cab Pizza 2015 Journal (eh bat wala akong pera ngayon pang pizza???). 

That was 2 weeks ago..natural this week, may datung na ako no… 

Good thing, I can now order my fave Pizza and hot wings through online!! Yeeeey! And the costumer service is really great. Email exchanges and calls are all pleasant!

Soooo.. I know you’re all been waiting for this, here’s what you can expect from Yellow Cab Pizza 2015 Journal.

It’s really thick (around 100 pages or more!). It’s a journal and not a planner, keep that in mind.

It comes’ with 2 pages of stickers (another weakness! now tell me, where to buy smiley stickers? I want to put some on my planner!).

Featured photo from Zone V Camera Club every 8 pages. Example above. Hello Sir Dodie!

In event held at Enderun last November, Whisper encourage Filipinas to shed their inhibitions and be bold and fearless.

A theatrical mime showed how the “mahinhin” culture and concerns about “tagos” holds women back from fully engaging in activities they like. And then the All-Girls Division Champions of the 2014 South East Asian Cheer leading Open DLSU Animo Squad demonstrated the exhilarating freedom that comes with unencumbered movement. Pole Cats also gave a mesmerizing performance to demonstrate how women can take control of their situation. Race car driver Michele Bumgarner shared her story on how she reached the top of male-dominated field through confidence and determination.

The Fearless Whisper event  inspired me to make my very own Fearless Pinays List! Fearless woman is one who breaks the norm and stands up to what she believes in and get what she deserves!

Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago because she said she eats death threats for breakfast (source). And not only that, while still recuperating from cancer (it was reported that 90% of her cancer cells have regressed), she’s working like it was just another ordinary day: (source)

I have managed to discharge my duties as chair of certain Senate committees. In addition, I continue to file bills and resolutions on weekly basis. I have also managed to discharge some speaking obligations, on condition that the event will not last more than two hours, which is my physical limit at this time.

And being you’d think this Senator is all work and no play? She published her very own humor book! A compilation of speeches, one liners and jokes delivered by the Senator.. this is one of my favorite quotes:

“Hindi naman ako mataba eh. In fact, I’m so sexy that it overflows.”

You can’t get any fearless than that!<

Another woman that I admire and should be on my Fearless Pinay list is the mommy blogger behind the Totally Homemade Sweet Treats And Savory Sidekicks, Bebeng:

Watching her grow.. para akong nanay na proud sa isang anak! 

I admire her guts and how she made a successful food business from bananas while being a full time mom to Pia (and a full time virtual flirt to her military husband).

(READ>> “It All Began with Bananas”: Denise Rayala of Bebeng’s Kitchen Shares Her Story )

Sharing you her very inspiring quotes on success:

“Success is unreachable for those who make excuses all the time.”

Last on my list is my sister..

It would be her first Christmas away from us. She’s now living in London chasing her  dreams. She had to leave the comfort she used to and her son. And I know how hard it was for her but she’s really trying. Her move to leave the country and get out of her comfort zone made her the fearless woman that I admire.. but dearly miss! ahuhu

Share with me your Fearless Pinay List! 

**** Through their #Fearless campaign, Whisper encourages women to be part of the new breed of forward-thinking women who challenge the norm and show that nothing can hold them back.Whisper Cottony Long is every young fearless woman’s best friend in her journey to be her fun, fearless self. It gives up to 100% no back leaks encouraging women to stand up with confidence and take control of their lives.

One fearless trivia: In a world where the norm is for a man to pursue a woman, yours truly made a move to pursue the man that I want. It was such a bold move but it was worth it!
