A Bachelor Cooking Throwdown by UNO Magazine.
August 28th, 2009 | 
Author: I was so lucky to witness the face-off last Tuesday (08-25-09), where the battle of the Alpha’s cooking throwdown, held at the Monogram Experience Center in Serendra, between chefs Eugene Raymundo, of Five Cows Restaurant and Limones fame, and Rolando Laudico, of Bistro Filipino fame (we mustn’t forget that memorable Selecta ice cream commercial), the debonair and stylish Atticus King, Vice President of the UNO magazine; and against him, the gamine award-winning album and tattoo artist Sarah Gaugler, this country’s answer to Kat D. of Miami Ink. The event was hosted by RJ Ledesma, the RTO (Royal True Orange) guy himself and now the UNO Alpha EIC.
The latest joint venture involving Two Alpha firms, men’s lifestyle magazine UNO and luxurious kitchenware Indesit Italian Kitchen Appliance Company.
*The good thing about being an ‘alpha’ means a step above the rest, a trend-setter and or a leader.
Indesit is a leading Italian Kitchen Appliance Company, an excellent option for the gentleman cook. Its evidence to brand’s espousal of the active life – of enjoying life – of living life. It shows off the appeal to a guy who considers cooking, as an enjoyable pastime. It’s an ability of a man in their own individual way.
…
A real man must be live in a life’s motto, “the way to a woman’s heart is through their stomach.” *grins*
UNO Magazine has relaunched itself into a full men’s lifestyle magazine – one that promotes the gentlemanly way of life through a sense of being well-balanced – athletically, intellectually, emotionally – and above all, being true to yourself! And oh, btw, UNO loves women.
Past an hour, host RJ Ledesma has to announced the bachelor’s cooking throwdown winners and the team who won the challenge are Chef Rolando Laudico and Atticus King. *worship*

Stand Up, Stand Up — Brand New EP from Hanson.
“We’ve tried since we started to not go more than a year without throwing something new to the fans, so this (tour) is kind of a warm-up to the new record and … just being a touring band and staying active”, says singer-keyboardist Taylor Hanson.“Just a little more straight-ahead” than 2007’s “The Walk” as Hanson explains the new notes.
The Walk is a narrative concerning those who struggles poverty and AIDS in Africa. The retail books will raise funds and give it to five causes on TakeTheWalk.net
“There’s a different energy to a lot of the music for this new record. I think the last album was sort of, ‘We’re surviving. We’re chugging along.’ This one there’s more of a sense of, ‘We’ve survived. We’ve gotten this far. We’re still in one piece.’ There’s this sense of, ‘Wow, we’ve been doing this for a while.’ It’s a little more energetic. There’s a freshness and excitement about it. You’ll hear it in the songs.”
Patience is a virtue kids.
So while waiting for the full-band album to come out next year, here’s an answer to your cravings.
A brand new EP from Hanson brothers — Stand Up, Stand Up featuring songs: “Worlds on Fire”, also the acoustic versions of “These Walls”, “Use Me Up”, “Waiting for This” and “Carry You There”.
Yes dear fanatics! You still got time to work and get paid so you’ll be able to buy the Hanson’s coming up album (done recording yet untitled) which most probably in stores by the spring of 2010.
Finer points:Tinted Windows is the all-star side project of Taylor Hanson with former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger and Cheap Trick’s Bun E. Carlos.
[Singing] All I know is that fear has to go this time around ^_^ [repeat till fade]
