    Amici (Megamall) with C

    I ate dinner with C last Monday night, since he was going to Japan for a week-long vacation (what is lucky!) and we ate at Amici at Megamall. We both love fried mozzarella sticks, so we ordered Mozzarella Fritto as an appetizer. They didn’t have Crema de Zucca (which was our favorite soup), so we ended up

  • The worst and best of baking

    The worst and best of baking

    I like to bake, but like everything else in life, it comes with a lot of ups and downs. Like failed bake sessions. I tried to bake Ferrero Rocher cupcakes last week but only got the cupcakes part right. No gauche, and a horrible mess of an icing. It was so horrible, I can’t even

    A very late September the first

    It’s been a week since I last blogged and oh gawd, despite the fact that this week started with a “holiday” (and I didn’t even have plans then), I feel too tired right now that it’s so unfair C feels great (he’s supposed to be the tired one).

  • Work insights – week 3: My life’s financial wellness

    Work insights – week 3: My life’s financial wellness

    Yesterday, the office hosted an hour-long talk by Mr. Rogel Morales entitled, “Pera, Pera, Paano ba Gumawa?” and in all fairness, there were a couple of things that I got from it. Such as: Instead of the formula, (Income – Expenses = Savings), it is much better to adapt an (Income – Savings = Expenses) formula for your

    Bon Appetea is…weird

    There’s this milk tea stall at the food court area at Strata 2000, Ortigas, and last Monday I tried this. It disappointed me that they did not have normal milk tea. Instead, all of their milk teas are flavored. Heavenly Blush flavor I tried the lychee mixed with milk tea, and it tasted sour because

  • Hainanese Chicken and more at EAT!

    Hainanese Chicken and more at EAT!

    I don’t know how many people know about EAT! at Esteban Abada Street in the Katipunan area (the street behind McDo). I only learned about it when Peter brought me and C to eat there around March, but apparently it’s been there since forever. I ate there only two times after that, and we went

    Work insights – week 2

    1. Junk food is so tempting…AND addicting. Some people from the office sell food in our pantry, and it works through honesty policy: choose what you want to get (chips, instant noodles, chocolates, cookies, packed lunch, etc.) and then write your name. After a month, the person selling those things will go around the office

  • Baon Series 1

    Baon Series 1

    Well, when you’ve been having lunch out for the last week, you’ll end up running out of money — like me! So today I had baon. I don’t know what it’s called but it has ampalaya (bitter gourd) and shrimp (not sure of the little bits are meat or egg). I am so addicted to tomato

  • Work-day lunch date

    Work-day lunch date

    So, my fear of getting fat doesn’t stop me from pigging out when I want to try out good food. Unfortunately, this is also why I won’t save much money (at least for the first few weeks of work, while I still am in the middle of trying out every restaurant and food I have
