celebraTINg exisTENce

One jeepney ride away from Katipunan-Aurora Fly-over. Pa-Montalban ata.

Hindi lahat ng sosyal at masarap, mahal at masakit sa bulsa. Hehe. Kung maghahanap ka lang, makikita mo.... :))

I enjoyed dining here in Kanto because the food tasted great, the price was affordable and the place felt like you can be yourself. Kasalanan ko bang hindi ako masyado nakakatagal sa mga sosyal na lugar at gusto ko 'yung mga ganito? Hindi. E sa mas relaxing pa nga ambiance dito kesa sa mga lugar na bawal tumawa ng malakas. Grabe, hindi ako malakas tumawa ah. Hihihi. Example lang. ;)

Diba.
May improvement ako?

I tried taking a picture of their menu. Kulang pa rin sa effort ng maayos na pag-picture pero sinubukan ko naman oh. It's the thought that counts. At least nagkaroon ka ng idea sa price range.

IKR!! Galing ko talaga, noh? You're welcome.

If you're going to look at it, kainan sa kanto talaga 'yung itsura pero 'yung quality ng food? Ibang usapan na 'yon.

Yayamanin! Hehe.

Vigan Longganisa
P 95.00

Another thing that I liked was that they didn't scrimp on the quantity of the food. Meron nga dyan, worth P 300.00 na nga; hindi na masarap, hindi pa masayang kainin. Ang sakit sa puso lang.

Dito, happy tummy at happy pocket ang peg.

(Speaking of Vigan. Congrats, Vigan for being a part of the 7 New Wonders Cities. Uyyyy, may magbabalik. <3 ILOCOS SUR AND ILOCOS NORTE SAMPLE ITINERARY LINK: HERE. Pagpasensiyahan niyo na, recently lang ako umayos magsulat kaya walang kabuhay-buhay 'yung Ilocos posts ko. Umayos pa pala ko sa lagay na 'to, parang lumala nga. Haha.)

Oreo Cookie Butter
P 95.00

I've eaten a lot of Vigan longganisa before that it just tasted normal to me so this pancake was the star of that meal. The Oreo Cookie Butter wasn't overly sweet, I think this was a really good idea. Halaaa. Hirap na hirap ako magpaliwanag pls. Basta, nagustuhan ko 'to. Period.

Kesong Puti with Pesto
P 20.00

I will definitely be back, Kanto Breakfast. Kapag nakabalik ako, ipo-post ko na kaagad at di na patatagalin ng ilang buwan para fresh pa sa alaala ganyan. HAHAHA.

Nakakahiya naman na puro kalokohan lang laman nito kahit nagustuhan ko ng sobra 'yung kinain ko dun. Pero duh, may bago pa ba? Mga nakakahiyang bagay lang naman madalas naka-post dito. :))))))

Meron silang branches sa Eastwood saka sa Shaw ata 'yung isa.

There's really something with this kind of concept that even if pizza isn't considered a new food offering, the way of ordering piques one's curiosity. For experience purposes ganyan.

I can't even count how many months have passed since this Project Pie post was put in my backlogs. Travel series (LAKAS TALAGA MAKA TRAVEL HAHAHAHA) consumes so much of my blogging time that food posts are often neglected these past months. Sana talaga 'yung mismong pagkain at pag gastos ang ma-neglect, huhuhu jubese ko na lalo plssss. :)))

ANYWAYYYY...

DESIGN BUILD EAT
#5 + Pepperoni

You're free to choose any toppings that you'd like and pay a fixed price of P 285.00 per pizza.

You have two options: order by number or build your own from scratch.

My default project pie order is #5 which consists of Mozzarella, Ricotta, Gorgonzola, Cracked Black Pepper, Olive Oil, Garlic, Fresh Chopped Basil and I just add some toppings.

I don't like my pizza overstuffed which explains my preference (most of the time lang, hindi all the time) for pepperoni or five cheese variants even if there are "more interesting" pizza flavors available.

As for the drinks, it's P 65.00 for a choice of sodas, juices and iced tea.

For P 65.00, you get a refillable drink of any of the above choices but I prefer Sweet Peach.It reminded me of Texas Chicken's Iced Tea in KLIA 2.

P 285.00 with more toppings though it still looks under-stuffed compared with the pizza creations of other customers.

You can never go wrong with pizza combinations. Joke. :)) Syempre, iisipin mo rin kung aling ingredients 'yung bagay sa'yo at sa panglasa mo kaya ganyan lang. hahaha. Ang defensive. hahaha.

#5 + Chicken + Pepperoni+ Bacon plus additional of blue cheese and pesto cheeses. 'Yan na pinaka-adventurous ko, noh!!

Dessert

Banana Nutella
P 145.00

I don't like eating cinnamon so even if I like the combination of Nutella and Banana. I didn't come to like this so much.

Best eaten while hot.

Overall, dining in Project Pie is recommendable and enjoyable.

1. Good food. Sige, sasabihan mo bang hindi ka masarap mag-create ng pizza? Hehe. Aside from it's your choices of toppings, all ingredients are of high-quality. Hindi lang siya basta-basta magtuturo ka dun tas bahala na sa lasa. Flavorful naman lahat lalo 'yung cheese.

2. You're free to make your visit as sulit as possible with refillable drinks and combination of any (pwede ngang all) toppings.

You. Yes, you.

You should be proud of me that I've already gone back to BGC for four times since February this year. :))

Kailangan mo lang talaga minsan ng mga tao na magpu-push sa'yo. Hahahaha. Nakakatawa pag babalikan mo 'yung time na mukha kang nasisiraan dahil nasusuka ka habang nakasakay sa bus kasi di mo kinakaya 'yung emotions mo, 'yung naluluha ka pag naglalakad sa highstreet ganyan.

Pero nakakaproud na unti-unti kang nagiging tao. Haha. Ge.

BGC? Ito 'yung lugar na paboritong paborito ko dati pero hindi ko na mabalikan lagi ngayon. Kailangan ng recovery periods in between pero keri. Okay naman din mag-explore sa QC.

Kantang Sugar ni Flo Rida? 'Yan 'yung sinasayaw nung crew sa Coldstone nung kinuha ko 'tong litratong 'to.

Strawberry Ice Cream, Graham Cracker Pie Crust, Strawberries, Caramel, Whipped Cream

Our Strawberry Blonde? Patunay na kahit gustong-gusto mo 'yung lasa ng cheesecake at chocolate, titikim ka pa rin ng iba. Pag bumalik ka sa chocolate at cheesecake, alam na. :) Martyr. HAHAHAHA.

Cheesecake Ice Cream, Oreo Cookies, Graham Cracker Pie Crust, Fudge

The Pie Who Loved Me? Kahit loved na 'yan at past tense na. At least hindi siya, The Pie Who Left Me.

Serendra? Dyan applicable 'yung, "We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place. We stay there, even if we go away. And there are things in us that we can find only by going back there."

Ako? 'Yung nag-iinarte kasi ang nakaka-emo ni Typhoon Ruby. GANYAN NAMAN KAYONG MGA BAGYO EH. Dumarating sa buhay nang walang paalam, pag malakas 'yung impact pa, aalis tapos 'yung mga naiwan, hindi na naman alam kung paano magsisimula. Wag ka ng dumating kung maninira ka lang din naman!

Lakas ko maka-Mace, noh!! Kairita pls. Hahaha. Wag ka mag-alala. Naiinis rin ako pag ganito ako pero hinayaan ko na lang din. Mag-tyagaan na lang. Phase lang 'to.

Pero kaya 'yan (kahit ano pa 'yan na dapat kayanin), hindi naman mahalaga kung gaano katagal... :))))

Pero ito matinong post tungkol sa Coldstone!

Cheesecake Fantasy in Coldstone, SM North EDSA link: here.

P.S. Masyado kong pinakinggan 'yung pain and fear na bumubulong sa'kin. I forgot the happiness this place and I shared for a lot of times. Hindi ako nagpunta lang and I decided not to make new memories in this place kahit ang daming potential memories sana kasi natakot ako. Pero, never again. Braver me na. Paano pa kasi ako magko-Korea kung sa Taguig nga, hindi ko magawang magpunta? DIBERRRRR! All of these things, in preparation for S.Kor. Yan. Yan. What do broken hearts do? Travel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

'Cause we've got a lot to look forward to!

2013 Wishlist

2014 Wishlist

Unlike in 2012 when I said that those are not-so-possible-christmas-wishlists, all my wishes are now possible in God's perfect timing. When my wishes are carried over year after year after year, ewan ko na lang kung hindi pa matupad lahat.

Sabi ko rin nga nung 2013, feel ko magpaka-Dora the Explorer at dahil napagbigyan ako, feel ko ulit magpaka- Dora the Explorer next year! Sana maulit. Hindi na baka. Darating ang pang-explore kong funds! At mapapagbigyan akong maka-explore sa mas malalayong lugar, nang mas matagal at nang mas may saysay! E sa na-claim ko na 'yan. Kokontra ka pa? Gawa ka rin ng sa'yo. Wag ka rito magpaka-kontrabida. (War freak. HAHAHAHA)

Is it weird that whenever I have a list, those are my wishes for the succeeding year and not just for Christmas? Hehe. Oh wells. E sa effective. :)))

1. I'm fine with the camera of my phone, Sony Xperia ZR that I rarely bring my digital camera with me anymore but I'm still thinking of getting a Sony TX30 camera because I like to take better photos next year. I really really hope that the universe conspires and give me this camera by January next year. Sponsors, anyone? You only have until the second week of January or until forever if I still won't be able to buy it before the last week of January. Haha. Demanding eh. Hindi ko talaga alam kung paano pero, as usual, nararamdaman kong magkakaroon ako nito.

2. Funds to continue being a miracle to my sponsored child at World Vision again.

3. Plant a tree or take part in anything related to the rehabilitation or conservation of nature. Last year, I wished for a sporty hobby without an idea that my "new-found" hobby would be mountain climbing. HAHAHA. Hardcore! Yep, epekto ng Mt. Pulag. I can't thank Mother Nature enough for allowing me to see her beauty so I wish that next year, I'd be able to do something for her benefit - to be able to do something that mother nature can thank me for. Sana makahanap ako ng ganun. Ritwal. Ritwal.

3. I am now a volunteer at the Philippine Animal Welfare Society so my hope is to be able to continue being one.

4. Since paka-Dora the Explorer na naman ang peg ko, gusto ko sabihin na explore Philippines muna but my life is open to the possibility of travelling abroad again. My wish is to have another stamp(s) in my passport. Ehem. South Korea. Ehem. Cambodia. Ehem. Vietnam. Ehem. Japan. Ehem. Thailand. Pero South Korea pa rin SANA. I'll be going to South Korea in 2015 ( or 2016 and 2017 ganyan) Tiwala lang. HAHAHAHAHAHA. #oplanbawalkumainparamaypanglakwatsa #oplansexybodyfattravelfund

5. RAKET! My wish is to find other source(s) of income next year.

6. Good health and safety for me and for everyone close (and far hahaha!) to me.

2015's wishlist is almost the same with 2014. Most of next year's goal is to just sustain everything that I've started doing this year. But surprise me, 2015. I know you'll be surpassing the things, experiences and places that 2014 showed and gave me.

For the great people we will become.
For a kabogerang 2015!

Let's all hope for the best. <3
