There isn't a different fee for shoe rental, it's included with the entrance fee, just have to bring your socks with you.

I learned. But only when I have companions I can skate from one end to another. I didn't fell down,  but I didn't skate around alone that much either. I had to stay by the sides so I'd have something to hold onto on most times. Or I'd have to ask them to stay with me and go near the center so we can skate alone going back to the railings. Haha

Foam snow

This is what I'm talking about, 50% of the time, I was just there practicing at the sides. Hahaha. It's not like I came there with the expectations of learning nor being good, but I did! Well, not that good, but I learned. I just have to try skating again and maybe break through the barriers that are stopping me. You may learn the basics from watching,  from reading a book and by asking pointers from others, but the best thing is to get down there and try. You may need the help of others or look for something to hold onto at first, but once you've gathered enough courage, you'd be able to let go of the railings or hands of your friends and go farther by yourself.  It was a tiresome but very enjoyable night! Now waiting for our second time..

'Cause of the different service.

There you'd be given a menu while seated, and they'd bring you the bill after you eat. Unlike in other branches where you'd have to form your line and pay upon ordering. PP's branch also didn't have those budget meals. Maybe because it's a sosyal place. Why was I there anyway? haha.

Celebrated my nth birthday with a Caramel Cake from Estrel's! It's not the first time that I ate their cake, and it's delicious as always! For those who haven't tried, it's a break from your usual cakes. Designs are simple yet elegant, not that sweet yet creamy. But the best thing is you're assured that you're getting nothing but freshly-baked cakes since theirs are only made to order. It's also best consumed on the day of purchase because they don't include preservatives in the ingredients.

And the grilling and the "gluttony-ing" shall begin.

Those are the sauces. especially loved their very own, Sambokojin Sauce

Several kinds of tempura to choose from and tofu with beef.

First time eating sushi with kiwi fruit.

Ssang Chu Sam!! Loved the anchovies and sweet potato from the Korean banchan section. Gusto ko pa ngang kumuha eh, nakalimutan ko lang.

there are tiger prawns, super sarap lang. I heart prawns!

Miso Soup They'd ask which soup would you prefer, we told him to decide for us and gave us this. Undecided first-timers!

Kamameshi Rice I would always refrain from eating rice whenever it's an eat-all-you-can buffet, but this is a different thing.

And they served us sauces, tig-isang container na maliit lahat. I mean, nasa table lang naman but they poured it for us still. Oh, so pampered!

Tadah! Clean table once again. Time for desserts!

I loooooooved everything on this plate. And there were more choices but these were all I could handle. Grabe! Busog!

That awkward moment when your desserts have better lovelife than you. Haha

Sabi nung friend ko when I pointed that out, "I-kain mo na lang." So here, ice cream! What else can uplift your mood than an ice cream and chocolate? Pero, di naman ako masyadong malungkot over that thing. Super sarap lang mag-takaw kanina kaya maraming nakain.

Showing off my nail art... baliw lang.

Tip namin? 4.00 Haha. Sorry naman, mga batang walang sobrang pera na. Today, a friday and lunchtime, the rate was P 499.00 per person.

This is my third nail art design. I had this on my finger nails for like a week.

I didn't really want to make a new one but since the polish on my left index finger chipped, I decided to and this is the end result. I was lazy to make designs for all my 10 fingernails so I just created an accent nail design. (Yes, meganon!!)

The last two pics were after I top coated it with the Matte Top Coat, I'll be uploading a more decent picture soon, maybe on another design. (Still hoping that my Canon is repairable) I really liked the effect of the top coat, I liked matte nail polish eversince the first time I tried it but as I looked for it, a bottle is a bit expensive so good thing I found this top coat at Etude, this saved me so much money. And, I can now mattify all the nail polishes I have. Guess who's now starting a new collection. Hahaha.

My eye lashes curled. It also works as an eye cream.

Here's Spicy Pork Bibimbap from Mr. Kimbob at SM North Food Court On my previous visits, I'd just ask for a gochujang in a small plastic container so I can adjust the spicyness but they told me they don't give out chili sauce anymore. For some reason, this whole meal wasn't as "happy" as before. Yes, it's still tasty but... I don't know. Was it because they changed the texture of the meat? Or I was just not that hungry when I ate here? Whatever the reason is, I think I need a break from this. After some months, cravings for this should naturally go back.

Kimchi Bokumbap (P 85.00)  I did took a break from their bibimbap and ordered this instead. Well, it's basically the same (where you are to mix everything in your plate) except the other vegetables that are found in bibimbap and this has kimchi fried rice (that only tasted more like gochujang fried rice.) This was good albeit spicy but I think, now, I'd have to take a break from ordering anything at Mr. Kimbob although I've only eaten there around 8 (?) times since last year; their foods aren't making me excited and happy like they did before. Or perhaps, my tastebuds are more refined now since I've tried eating at, what should I call them? Native Korean Restaurants? Authentic Korean Restaurants? But, if you want to try something else at SM foodcourts or looking for cheap Korean foods,  it's one of the joints I'd recommend. Budget-friendly, healthy, delicious, and can really fill your hungry stomachs.
