OTHER SUGGESTIONS: MANILA VISITA IGLESIABATANGAS VISITA IGLESIA LAGUNA LOOP VISITA IGLESIA (WITH MAP) We wanted to do an out-of-town Visita Iglesia this Maundy Thursday and were deciding between going up north in Pampanga area or going down south in Tagaytay area. We chose Tagaytay because we hoped for a cooler weather. I was there three times last November and December (LINKS 1, 2, 3) maybe it was...

Here's my Credit Card's welcome gift to me: A Giordano Watch I am not a watch person and even if I am, I don't think I'd pay thousands...

 Wagas maka-see food diet eh!!! Rouge Gelato Cake  P 134.00/sliceWas it not recommended by my friend , I won't order a cake looking like this. Why? 'Cause it looks so sweet. Imagine having vanilla, strawberry and blueberry flavored gelatos with strawberry syrup in one bite... sounds like diabetes to me. But okay, I had to believe our local newspaper (and my friend too)...

A just-in-time-for-summer discovery.Let's indulge in French Salted Caramel (my second Nestle post for the month of March. Chuckie was posted first. heh) And off to the dangers of allowing me to stroll around the grocery esp. the chocolates and ice creams aisles...My next flavor favorite... chocolate and green tea comes first and second. This may be coming third!! I became a fan of...

Was at the closing of the PyroMusical Competition this evening at MOA.  We were given complimentary tickets for the Silver area but then we had them upgraded to Gold for only P 50.00. So we watched the whole program in the least crowded space yet with the perfect view of the fireworks.  Pictures have no watermarks inaantok na ko! I know they're not of the...

Do you also have a favorite drink when you were younger? I do. Actually, I can't remember if it was moo or chuckie but I used to have a box of a chocolate drink (yes, that whole box you see in groceries) hidden under my bed for my everyday baon and whatevers. Hahaha.  I was out for a grocery shopping and spotted a...

P 260.00 (?)It's pretty rare for me to visit a Filipino restaurant when eating out 'cause they are so normal for me. Thank heavens for the abundance of delicious Filipino foods in our home. Unless the people I'm with suggests eating at a Filipino restaurant and/or we aren't out-of-town, I don't look around for one. But different restos have their own versions of well-known...

I always have coins in my purse, ideally I have 10.00, 5.00, 1.00, .25 and these days even .10 and .5 coins.  Why? The main reason for carrying coins is I dislike paying PUV drivers with paper bills. As much as possible, I try to pay them the exact amount. This practice also saves them the hassle of needing to compute my change...

Read as: da-you-deh To tell you honestly, looking at this place from the outside is seriously intimidating.  Why? 'Cause it looks so expensive! I mean, its interiors seem luxurious. There's this idea that if something looks expensive, it most likely is. Not until you enter and look at the prices, they're reasonably priced with great service plus the fact that you get to hang-out...

c/o BDO's I Shop. I Choose. I Redeem Promo. Milk teas are an addiction that I'm trying to rehabilitate from. These days, I'm doing my best to refrain from buying them *insert weight and financial issues here* as the reasons why. Maybe it's not bad to have a cup or two or three per month, I'm limiting myself to just that compared to a...

Aside from my usual fastfood picks, there aren't a lot of choices for cheap and decent food in Bonifacio Highstreet Area. While there are so much decent foods, cheap being a qualifier limits the choices unless you are in the Market! Market! area where more affordable meals are to be found. Anyway, before going there, I texted a friend who once told me...
