He has endeared himself to worldwide audiences by playing Alan, the mayhem-causing member of the Wolfpack. Now, comic actor Zach Galifianakis reprises the eccentric character for the last time in Warner Bros.’ male-oriented comedy “The Hangover Part III,” the epic finale of the hugely successful franchise.

In the film, the only member of the Wolfpack who’s not content is Alan. Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group’s black sheep has ditched his meds and given into his natural impulses in a big way—which, for Alan, means no boundaries, no filters and no judgment—until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help he needs. And who better than his three best friends – Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) -- to make sure he takes the first step? This time, there’s no bachelor party. No wedding. What could possibly go wrong? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

Amen to Miso-Ten's Ramen!

YA-MI!:

I am not so adventurous when it comes to food.  I somehow go for safe dishes because my day will be ruined if the food I ate didn't satisfy me!  Hehe.  But while I'm "segurista" when it comes to food, I sometimes try new dishes and  I just know when I spotted a good one.  Before, I'm not into ramen but when my friends started to bring me to ramen houses, I became an instant convert!  :)  The problem though is that most ramen houses are those somehow hidden from the main roads and malls.  If there's one in the mainstream, the dish will definitely cost much higher than the usual.

But a new place solved that dilemma!  I recently discovered Miso-Ten!  It's right inside the mall (Robinson's Place in Ermita), it's priced right and the much desired RAMEN is there!  :)

Win cool prizes through your love for #FoodPorn!

 TADI ALERT:

In a conference of digital experts I attended, we talked about the emergence of people taking photos of the food they cook, buy and eat.  And we somehow realized that this is predominantly an Asian thing!  We call it foodporn, foodgasm, instafood and many other things but the bottom line is, it's our love for food and food pic!

And now, for food pornographers out there like me, this is our chance to get something out of the hobby!
