MMMiii!

I’m writing this down here because… because it’s the first time I reviewed a website. =D hahaha… well… =_=

And now, on to the scrutiny.

At first glance, the homepage looks as what the restaurant and the food it serves probably is–colorful and elegant. The colors don’t clash, they all blend well.

I didn’t find a lot to scrutinize on this website. In fact, I can only think of two, and nothing major.

1. Redundancy
For the Menu links (not the restaurant menus), they get redundant. Probably recycling the template, but I would rather if I’m onthe Brunch Menu, then the link to Brunch Menu be either dimmed out or disabled (plain text) or simply removed to signify that I’m on that page. But then, there are two other texts that tell me I’m on that page. One on top (”Trattoria Acqua’s Brunch” in white that is pretty small) and one below the Menu links (that just says “Brunch”). One “Brunch” is enough. Either they put it on the link, or remove it.

The same goes for the Banquet Menus, though the crime only shows up twice. On a side note, I think it’s better if they just keep the white text and increase the font size of that one. And not use white… a deeper orange perhaps.

2. Pictures
They have a very nice picture gallery, and they took pains in taking a pretty picture of almost every crevice in the restaurant. They even have a picture of the view from the place. Why didn’t they put more pictures of the food they serve? The few pictures of the food they have on the website looks very delicious. So why not make the web visitors drool more by putting more pictures. A mouse-over thumbnail would be nice.

Okay, I will say the truth. The descriptions of the food below the names of the dishes mean nothing to me. Almost. I want to know how it looks like. I’m guilty of visual hunger. Sometimes, if something looks delicious, I’m going to have a go at it. So… More pictures please.

On to the basics
Links: All are working.
Colors: Not clashing, no blinking.
Up-to-date: Yeah. it says 2006…. I don’t think it will have changed that much, price-wise.

This is the Freestyle & Pops Fernandez version. It got really popular around 2001. …

Bakit ngayon ka lang
Bakit ngayon kung kelan ang aking puso’y meron nang laman

Sana’y nalaman ko na darating ka sa buhay ko
Di sana’y naghintay ako…

Why just now
Why just now when my heart has someone else already

I wish I knew that you’d come into my life
I could’ve waited…

Bridge:

Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap
(Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap)
Ang iyong kamay ang aking laging hawak
(Ang iyong kamay lagi ang aking hawak)
At hindi kanya… (at hindi kanya)

You could’ve been the one in my arms
And your hand the one I’m holding
And not his

Chorus:

Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating sa buhay ko
(Bakit ngayon lang dumating sa buhay ko)
Pilit binubuksan ang sarado ko nang puso
(Pilit binubuksan ang aking puso)
Ikaw ba ay nararapat sa akin
(Ikaw ba ay nararapat sa akin)
At siya ba’y dapat ko nang limutin
(At siya ba’y dapat limutin)
Nais kong malaman bakit ngayon ka lang dumating
(Nais malaman bakit ngayon lang dumating)

Why did you come into my life just now
Trying to open my already-closed heart
Are you the right one for me
And should I forget him?
I want to know why did you just come now
Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus 2x

Ooh…Nais kong malaman ba’t ngayon ka lang dumating
(Nais malaman bakit ngayon lang dumating)
Oooh…oooh

I want to know why did you just come now

ehh… I think it’s nicer to use “why are you late?” lol. hmm.. or maybe Why now? … “Why just now” makes a lot of difference though….

*sigh*

Have I ever written here that I wanted to become a translator?

OMG I passed the 2nd exam in the Biology part! Considering I kept falling asleep while studying and I had a bad toothache! I just passed though. My Bio average is just 54.5 XD IT’S STILL A FREAKIN PASS DUDE! My average for the Geology part was 88 I think… or was it an 86. Either way, I passed both. I was so worried.

I don’t get my desired grade of 1.00 but I guess it’s good enough. Damn that Bio part. =/

I don’t know who sang the original. Anyway, I present to you or anyone reading this blog song lyrics and translations of Tagalog/Filipino songs. I’ll be doing this by request or whatever strikes my mood. I’ll try to be as accurate in the translation and not just stick to transliterations. >_>

Namulat ako at ngayo’y nag-iisa
Pagkatapos ng ulan
Bagama’t nakalipas na ang mga sandali
Ay nagmumuni kung ako’y nagwagi
Pinipilit mang sabihin na ito’y wala sa akin
Ngunit bakit hanggang ngayon, nagdurugo pa rin

I woke up and I was alone after the rain
Even after the moments have passed
I still wonder if I won
I keep saying that this is nothing
But why is it that until now, I still bleed

Chorus:

“Sa kanya pa rin babalik,” sigaw ng damdamin
“Sa kanya pa rin sasaya,” bulong ng puso ko
Kung buhay pa ang alaala ng ating nakaraan
Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin sa kanya

“To him, I’ll still come back,” my feelings shout out
“With him, I will be happy,” my heart whispers
If the memories of the past are still alive
My love and time are still offered to him

At sa hatinggabi ay nag-iisa na lang
Ay minamasdan ang larawan mo
At ngayo’y bumalik nang siya’y kapiling pa
Alaala ng buong magdamag
Kung sakali mang isipin na ito’y wala sa akin
Sana’y dinggin ang tinig kong nag-iisa pa rin

When midnight comes I’ll be alone
gazing at your picture
The memories of the night with you came to me
while I was with someone else
In case you think this is nothing to me
I wish you’d hear my voice that is still alone

Repeat Chorus 2x

Adlib:

Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin
Sa kanya, sa kanya, sa kanya, hah-ooh

My love and time are still offered
to him…

Time stood still in silence when I first saw you pass by
A silent fiery hue then touched the sky a sudden second after
Silently, time kicked in again and I watched you walk away

The summer breeze blew in silence, warming my cold lips
The sun shone in silence as I stood rooted in my place
I could only wait for you in silence, hoping maybe someday…
