AJ and I were at Batangas, my mother's hometown, last Sunday for a family get-together. It's become our habit to go to SM Batangas after lunch to escape from the afternoon heat and to have coffee at Starbucks hehe. I have been frequenting this mall for years now, but it was only last Sunday that I saw a Bigg's Diner outlet at the ground floor. I almost screamed when I saw ... READ MORE
Bono Artisanal Gelato
I discovered Bono Artisanal Gelato through Instagram. Apparently, there's something in this gelato place that the others don't have and people are posting so many pictures of their products - that's how much they love Bono Gelato. And when I read that they have a Speculoos Gelato I swear, I felt a sudden rush of happiness! Then I read this very nice review of Bono Artisanal ... READ MORE
Soft Look for our Home
Now that February is in (my birthday month, yey!), I thought of using these throw pillow cases and curtains that we bought months ago from SM and the Landmark: That's the curtain at the left, throw pillow cases in the middle and at the right. Would you believe that the throw pillows cost only P50.00 a piece? An incredible price for such luxurious fabric! I really love the ... READ MORE
My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tea Party
I had always wanted to host a tea party at home, and was all the more inspired after AJ treated me to an afternoon tea at Manila Peninsula last August. But I was so busy at work and was doing all those traveling I just couldn't put my mind and time into it. But I found my perfect opportunity when my friend (and kumare) Denise sent me a message one day asking when are we ... READ MORE
Shopping Loot from Homeworld’s Warehouse Sale
This is not the first time that we've been to Homeworld's Bodega Sale. The first time was last year and we found so many bargain items there for our apartment. So when I saw this announcement posted at my Facebook page we got so excited at what we're gonna find this time. Compared to the sale last year, there were fewer items included in this year's sale and most of the ... READ MORE
Sen Lek Thai
Another Thai food adventure and at SM Food Court at that! Sen Lek Thai offers authentic Thai cuisine at budget meal prices. Their menu reminded me of DekA Thai Food which AJ and I have tried early this year. I'm not exactly a fan of Thai foods but I do love, love a good Pad Thai. Here's the Pad Thai we ordered at Sen Lek Thai. Would you believe that this big plate ... READ MORE
Spotted: Ugly Celine Bag Knock-Off
I can't believe my eyes when I saw these Celine Luggage Tote knock-offs at SM Department Store: This is far worse than the one I spotted last year at CLN. The bright colors of this new knock-off didn't help either in making it look more attractive. Ugly, ugly, ugly! ... READ MORE
Tender Bob’s
Whenever we're craving for grilled porkchops, we almost always find ourselves at Tender Bob's: They serve mainly protein-packed dishes like burgers and steaks, all at very reasonable prices. Our favorite, of course, is their grilled porkchops (around P400, can't remember the exact price) which comes in 2 big pieces with side dishes: AJ and I can each finish ... READ MORE
