Portal East : uPVC Windows and Doors for EDSA Grand Residences

When you have a husband that’s an architect and a daughter whose taking Architecture as a course, you have to be updated with the latest information when it comes to construction. It’s seems that I had to be atleast knowledgable as to what’s happening to the industry. To date here’s another latest report  when it comes to uPVC windows and doors. 

For property developers like EDSA Grand Realty and Development Corp., nothing beats quality materials in the construction of their projects like condominiums so they expect nothing less.

“Quality residential units are what buyers look for when considering condo unit purchases so they get value for their money. That is why we emphasize on using quality materials for our projects,” explains Engr. Caesar Tan, Vice President of EDSA Grand Realty and Development Corp., one of the fastest-rising property developers in the country.

Security of their abode is one aspect that people look for when buying a condo unit. They want the feeling of safety and security once they are at home—or even when they are out. “Security of property and life is very important for all unit buyers and we understand that.  For our latest project, we see to it that we meet tenants’ and buyers’ needs when it comes to security, and we are confident on that aspect.”

For the 30-storey, 700-unit residential condominium such as the EDSA Grand Residential, the company’s newest project that is strategically located along EDSA near the SM City North Edsa area, Engr. Tan made sure that it comes complete with all the necessary amenities and features like pool and sauna and of course, security features like individual fire-rated steel doors, including 24-hour roaming security personnel, Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras, and key-less entry system to monitor movements.

“We are confident enough of the security features in place and so far, with our other projects, we have had no experiences in terms of breach in security,” says Engr. Tan,

And yes, even doors and windows, Engr. Tan says, were also considered in terms of providing additional security and safety to unit buyers. It is important, he said, that windows and doors are durable and secure and yet be able to contribute to aesthetic requirements of a project such as the EDSA Grand Residences.

For this requirement, Engr. Tan said they turned to Portal East, Inc., a company that designs, tests, manufactures and installs quality uPVC windows and doors for new construction, remodeling and placement applications for residential and commercial projects.

One unique feature of Portal East windows and doors is the innovative “Multi-point locking system” that makes them secure, virtually burglar-proof and durable with its high-quality reinforced steel core. Aside from that, Engr. Tan says Portal East windows and doors are air and water-tight so you don’t have to worry when it’s raining hard or when there are strong winds. He said that Portal East doors and windows are also sound proof and provides protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Engr. Tan was also happy to note that Portal East’s products, aside from providing additional security, also met their company’s aesthetic requirements for EDSA Grand Residences, particularly for windows. “Our main concept was to create units with an unobstructed view of the city regardless of where your unit is. It’s what we call ‘picture window’ so we opted to use Portal East windows because we could make them bigger. We are happy that because of their big product portfolio, Portal East was able to meet our requirements for bigger windows,” Engr. Tan explains.

EDSA Grand Residences uses Portal East’s sliding and awning windows while for their door requirements, Engr. Tan said they used Portal East’s swing and sliding doors. Engr. Tan also took note of Portal East’s after-sales service, which he gave a rating of “9 out of a possible 10.” Of course they are not perfect; nobody is but we felt their responsiveness, their readiness to provide solutions whenever we have problems with their products, which seldom happens.”

EDSA Grand Residences is located along EDSA corner Corregidor Street, Quezon City.

Love in the City You Love at Ayala Triangle Gardens

For most people, the month of February is exclusively associated with bouquets of flowers, boxes of chocolates, and romantic candlelight dinners. But what better way to relish the feel-good air of Valentine’s Day than to celebrate the month of love in an urban oasis, where everything you need and want is right within reach.

Love fills the air in the city that makes everything happen this Valentine’s Day, as Makati City, in partnership with Ayala Land, sets up the stage for a unique V-Day treat at the Ayala Triangle Gardens for a mini-concert top-billed by real-life couple and ABS-CBN talents, Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford, entitled “Love in the City You Love.”

Love in The City You Love is a testament to how Makati aims to further enliven the city experience through the “Make It Happen, Make it Makati” campaign.  “There are so many reasons why people fall in love with the city and this Valentine’s Day, we will make sure that it will be a night worth spending in the city,” adds Ignacio. “This is just our first event for the year and we are set to further engage and excite Makati denizens and visitors alike with a dynamic roster of activities reflective of a vibrant city.”

RJ Ledesma's Book Launch at Powerbooks, Greenbelt 4

What does action star Robin Padilla, former president Joseph Estrada, and cosmetic surgeon-turned-celebrity Hayden Kho have in common with Hollywood stars James Dean, Collin Farrel, and Robert Downey, Jr.?

Unless you’re a brooding man who can make women want to drop everything and land in your brawny arms every time something unfriendly comes their way, most men have all went through devastating heartaches at some point in their lives. We’ve seen it a thousand times—nice guys getting dumped and friend-zoned over stoic, devastatingly gorgeous, distressed men reminiscent of Damon Salvatore and Edward Cullen, who can make even blood sucking look sexy. What is it about bad boys that put sparkle in women’s eyes, glow in their cheeks, and blood rushing into their veins and other lovely parts?

No, this is not another story about vampires who sparkle in the midday sun while wearing outrageously pale faces and pouted lips. This is the truth that young boys long to discover, grown ups laugh about, and our grandpas love to revisit. This is the story of every Adam that will never be written in the history of mankind.

Three-time best-selling author and 30^th National Book Awards finalist RJ Ledesma unravels how this and other crazy, perplexing phenomena are taking place, as he launches his fourth book “It Only Hurts When I Pee, RJ Ledesma’s Guide on Bodily Gases, Hair Loss and Pink Parts.” The book, distributed by Anvil Publishing, is a compilation of the ridiculously truthful, self-aware and highly comical chronicles of the less hygienic male species based on curious epic research, thorough investigation and, ahem, first-hand experience.

From the freshly squeezed brain juices of RJ Ledesma, the book and all its 167 pages tackles amusing topics and antics, including classic and epic details in the Pinoy dating and mating scenes, and male entertainment created simply by grimy fingers and a lack of good taste.

Wonder why bad guys often become the object of romance by women who, in RJ’s own word, desire “to increase the country’s current voting population”? Let the entrepreneur, multimedia practitioner, yogi and author of Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me (2008), I Do or I Die(2009), and Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Me? (2010) tickle your funny bone and usher you into testosterone land with his newest masterpiece guaranteed to make you pee to your heart’s content.

My Valentine Date at Sbarro

Having a big family doesn’t mean you have to dine out all together at the same time. Having five grown up kids and a husband sometimes mean you have to learn to have quality time to each one of them, it’s just a matter of scheduling. With that in mind, I decided to have my pre-valentine date last Saturday with the most important men in my life, hubby and son EJ.  Knowing that Valentine’s Day fall on a weekday and by experience, the entire food establishment would be fully booked; I opt to spend it last weekend. Craving for pizza and pasta, we headed down to Megamall. Wanting to fill our stomach with a different taste from the usual brand, Sbarro was at the top of my mind. 

Sbarro has more than 25 branches in the Philippines alone and serving large cut hand-tossed dough, made fresh daily and topped with only the finest ingredients, are the reasons Sbarro is  famous worldwide. Furthermore, their authentic Italian pasta is made from the highest quality 100% semolina. With the added Garden Salad, fresh and crisp make the   dial complement to our meal.

The family that eat together, Sbarro together

Whether it’s Valentines Day or any day for that matter, we comeback for more dinning experience at Sbarro, especially now that they have their latest promo. Having it all in one affordable package will surely make a hit to my family

This Festa Italianiana could feed 4 people
