Mahilig ako sa chocolates simula pa nung bata ako kaya nung nakapag-overnight kami sa Subic dati at unang beses ko lang makapasok sa Duty Free, sabi ng nanay ko e hindi raw ako magkanda-ugaga katatakbo sa shelves na pinaglalagyan ng mga tsokolate at hindi ako makapili.

Nung bumalik naman ako sa Puregold Dutyfree nito nang mahilig ako sa matcha, hindi pa rin ako magkanda-ugaga. Hindi katatakbo kundi kaiisip dahil hindi rin ako makapili kasi nga kulang sa chaching. Hahaha! Some things don't change. Iba pa rin reaction ko everytime may makita akong bagay na gustong-gusto ko. hahahahahaha. Di ko na kasi ma-control pag nakakakita ako ng kahit anong matcha. -_-

Sakit sa puso nito but thank you, Puregold Duty Free for selling matcha products. It was a problem that I was glad to have. It's not you, it's me kaya masakit sa puso. BAKIT KASI ANG PRICEY NG MGA GUSTO KO SA BUHAY?!

Matcha soft cookie oreos (paki-arrange na lang sa tamang order 'yung words)

I did not buy this because I like it, I bought it as per my cousin's son's request. Ako siguro may kasalanan bakit mahilig na rin siya sa matcha kaya binilhan ko na.

He liked it that he almost finished everything but as for me, not too much because it seemed like the chocolate taste overpowered the matcha and that's unacceptable for (someone like) me. Haha!! Still and an interesting combination so definitely worth trying. Arte lang ako.
I saw this before in Family Mart although I don't know what its name is.
Instead na nakabalot sa chocolate na almond 'yung kasama, matcha flavor 'yung stick and then matcha bits 'yung nagpapalutong. This one's interesting too but it's not something that I'd buy again. Arte ko diba? hahaha. Nabawasan na kasi talaga 'yung pagka-like ko sa chocolates. You'd taste the chocolate more than the matcha bits so I prefer the one below.
Ito 'yung mapayat at matangkad na version ng Midi Matcha. Bitin lang because a box has only two foil containers but I like this the most among the three.
Balanced ang matcha taste and creaminess but if I were to choose, I'd still for for the Midi Matcha. Bakit??? Iba pa rin kaming mga chubby! Hahahaha!


These three matcha products are for those who prefer subtle matcha flavor. Creamy at andun pa rin 'yung lasa ng matcha pero hindi in your face na, "Oy!! Green tea ako!" gets or not... end of post. :))
My wallet committed suicide just to make me feel better. Haha. 😍 #matcha #pocky #meiji #oreo #matcharap #infinitelivessana🙏 #panicbuyingangpeg #rt

Akalain mong 12 weeks ago na 'to. hahahaha!! Di bale, meron nga kong mga pictures na lagpas na one year eh. Wala na kasi atang relevance kaya forever na silang hindi maipo-post sa blogosphere unlike pag matcha, forever relevant :)))

I was finally able to go back in the area where I spent most of my days before, Bonifacio Global City.

 You know what frustrates me? It's that we found it hard to find a decent and affordable meal before aside from fastfood chains and yet they are almost everywhere in BGC now. Oo, BGC, kung kelan sobrang bihira na ko makapunta dyan. -_-

One of those that I have tried is Shawarma Bros at Bonifacio Stopover which offers reasonably-priced meals without compromising the product quality.

Order here.
They were a food truck before deciding to put up their flagship restaurant for stability.

I'm slow at noticing things like this pero mukhang truck pala 'yung order area at may pedestrian lane pa oh. hehehe. 
They are not claiming that they are offering authentic Persian and Mediterranean cuisine but as to what I have tried, their food tastes close to authentic and it is actually good in its own way. 
I love the idea of printing out Instagram screenshots and posting them there for other diners to see.
Syempre diba, when you're taking time editing your Instagram-worthy picture, one thing that would make you prouder other than having an awesome IG feed is when the establishments you Instagrammed or other people recognize/appreciate your post. 
This was my order
Beef Shawarma Rice with Keema Meal
P 229.00

The first thing I noticed when they served me my food is that the serving size is big.
Keema
Cheese and Garlic Yogurt Dip

You get to choose two sauces for your food.

I liked the garlic yogurt dip more than the cheese. Maybe it's because I was having rice that I didn't appreciate the cheese sauce that much. 
One thing you'd notice when you're eating with your fellow bloggers is how everyone is taking time taking pictures of the food that it gets cold before one is able to have his/her first bite. 

No regrets and not complaining because this is HOW we usually are. Mas komportable nga kesa 'yung kakain ka kasama 'yung hindi mahilig magkuha ng pictures kasi kailangan mo pa magpaliwanag at pigilan silang kumain agad. Haha.

My order was beef but it wasn't greasy so I had no problem eating my food even if it has already gotten a bit cold.
A closer look of the printed out Instagram posts. 
Drop by, experience their food, be part of the story and celebrate friendships at Shawarma Bros.



BGC Stopover Pavillion, corner of 31st Street and Rizal Drive, Taguig

Mon-Fri: 11am-1:15am

I was in Rockwell looking for the restaurant where I bought my matcha powder last year but I wasn't able to find it. Hahaha! Hindi ko alam kung bangag lang talaga ko o wala na 'yung restuarant pero 'yun nga, I failed to purchase. San pa ba meron??? :(


To appease myself, I tried Churreria La Lola. 
I tried this mainly because the long lines have always made me curious.
Nakita ko rin kasi sila before sa SM Aura. 
Churros Clasicos

Large (12 pcs.) P 195.00
Hot Chocolate Dip (Large) P 100.00

Infairness naman, I kind of got surprised upon seeing the price. Inisip ko na lang na nasa Rockwell ako kasi. What should I expect, diba? But t
hen I got my order and I instantly thought that paying that much was reasonable. Sulit na.
 Ang laki ng churros nila that we only two pieces and took the rest home. 


They're freshly fried (in olive oil), the skin was crispy but the inside was soft. But as a chocolate lover, what made me like this more is their Hot Chocolate Dip. 
Yes, this is simply one of the most delicious churros I've eaten. Gustong gusto ko na nga inumin 'yung dip, pero ininom ko naman sa bahay na nga lang. hahaha!

E diba nga, churros con chocolate  'to? Meron bang churros con matcha?! Tanong lang or request lang sa ibang nagbebenta ng churros. Baka kasi bagay. :)
The only thing I didn't like was their location.

It was so uncomfortable because as I've said, the line in La Lola is oftentimes long and those people who come and go at the store would see you eating. Medyo awkward for me. Although I'm not dismissing the idea that you're not supposed to eat this sitting down. 'Yung packaging kasi, mukhang pwede mong hawakan kaya pwede kang kumain habang namamasyal.


Heard they now have a branch here in UPTC. Good job!
Puntahan niyo na kami lahat sa North!!! Hihi. <3

8/12 na! 

How are you? :)


 Dating gawi! Idk what's wrong, medyo I lost my "voice," not literally but I kind of forgot how I used to write my monthly hello ---- posts. But anyhow, this would be a lengthy one again though I am only showing six pictures from my Instagram account to recall what happened last July and to write down what I am expecting for this month as if they'd matter to you. To save you some time, don't read everything and you may just join me in the last picture. hehe

As you know (or not), I am a July baby so thank you, world for another wonderful year of existence. Unlike last year when we held a mini house party, no party was held this year. I am grateful for everything but I haven't been posting about those things these days. The downside of not blogging as frequent as I used to is this. Although aware ako of my blessings and stuff, iba pa rin 'yung awareness kapag nasusulat ko lagi.

To celebrate my birthday and for more wanderlusting, we went to Palawan. Huhuhu. Posts about my trip are still in my growing backlog. Huhuhu. </3. There are a lot of things that I haven't posted here yet and it's saddening that I don't get to post frequently anymore. I am trying so kayanin ko siguro to be back on track this month and the rest of the months. hehe! Kailangan ko talaga na updated 'to kasi iba pa rin 'yung may binabalik-balikan akong post. Iba pa rin 'yung nababasa ko kung ano 'yung "ako" in the past years.

Lakas kasi maka-public ng journal ko eh. Artista ang peg. Open book ganyan.

To my Palawan travel buddy, Louise Patricia Marie: Alam kong hindi mo favorite 'tong first Palawan trip natin pero maraming salamat!

Walang oras mag-blog pero may oras manood ng pinakaunang kalyeserye sa telebisyon, sumubaybay sa kilig moments ng Aldub, at mainis sa pangongontra ni Lola Nidora?!

*Sa tono ng pagsasalita ni Mace noong nasa bus sila ni Anthony habang pinagtatanggol niya si Lloydie na magkakaroon ulit ng movie with Bea kaya tuwang-tuwa ako dahil kung gusto mo lang malaman, fan ako simula pa noong Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay days nila hanggang ngayon.* 
AKO: E  SI ALDEN 'YUN EH! 

Oi, wag kayo! 2012 (or 2013 siguro? Basta nung nag-album siya) pa lang, alaga na namin 'yan. HAHA! Hindi lang dahil sa Aldub loveteam! Samantalang kasasabi ko lang nung na-broken hearted ako kay LMH na ayoko na ng lalakeng may dimples... hala ito na naman ako! At hindi lang si Alden! Pati si Lee Jonghyun ng CNBlue. Nyahaha! 

Pero seryoso, kung sakali lang na magkita ng personal si Yaya Dub saka si Alden... pwede bang pa-birthday niyo na lang sa'kin na live akong manood? Haha. Lakas maka-ano e abangers lang naman sa ina-upload gabi-gabi na video. Hindi ako nakakanood ng live sa TV at asa pang maging studio audience kasi wala naman akong connections para makakuha ng passes kaya umaasa na lang ako sa'yo. Hahahaha. Ah basta!! Para sa fans din, alam kong naiintindihan niyo ko. Para sa'yo na tutupad ng wish ko, alam kong gagawan mo ng paraan 'to. Hahaha!

Just so hindi masira 'yung tradition ng mga post kong ganito... :))

I am brokenhearted because I was expecting something to happen this month but as of now (kagaya pa rin nung last two months), it looks like it's not going to push through the way I am hoping it to. Sorry that I can't say what it is exactly but it's something that I am wishing for but I currently have no power to make it happen all by myself. Para bang wala akong ibang pagkukuhanan ng tubig kaya ang inaasahan ko na lang 'yung buhos ng ulan para makapag-ipon. Kailangan ko 'yung open door na papasukan o 'yung bangin na kailangan talunan pero hindi naman buwis-buhay basta ganyan lang 'yung idea. Kailangan ko ng isang YES mula sa universe.

 'Yung go signal kasi na hinihintay ko mukhang hahahaha malabo eh.

Pero sabi nga sa second weeksary video ng Aldub, "What's meant to be will always find a way." Matigas ulo ko, mahilig akong umaasa kahit sa wala saka pinipilit ko mangyari pag may nagustuhan ako pero kasi andito ko sa phase na bulag ako kaya wala ko magawa para pigilin 'yung pagkagusto ko. Ang sinasabi ko na lang lagi e sana nga meant to be. Hay! Pagbigyan niyo na po ako para matahimik na ko. Hahaha. 

Kung sakaling wala man patunguhan 'to e bahala na, I'll cross the bridge when I get there. Basta ngayon, aasa pa rin ako pero if ever na waley talaga, sad lang but there's a reason for everything...

Desperada?! Kahit anong sabihin ninyo, wala kayong pake, kung, kung, naniniwala akong meant to be kami at someday we will happen! We will happen talaga. hahaha! Oi, asa! Hindi 'to tao! Or hindi nga ba?! Di ko rin masabi. Haha!

 Kung gusto niyo, isipin niyo rin na meant to be kayo! Bahala na ako kung anong iniisip ko. Bahala ka na rin kung sino/ano iniisip mo.
-_- Haha. Sabi ko naman sa'yo, join me at the last picture eh!!

Oh hey August! Welcome back to our lives! Please be good to us. Please be a miracle month to us. Good vibes lang tayo ah!

Sorry kung medyo nasayang ko lang oras mo kasi wala talaga kong malagay na may relevance at saysay sa buhay mo kaya para makabawi man lang kasi baka kailangan mo rin, "Waiting is not an inactive thing. It is actively doing what you can and allowing God to prepare you for the next big thing."


God bless us. <3

It was because I've been to their West Avenue branch for many of times already that I wasn't expecting a lot for their newly-opened branch in The Atrium, SM Megamall. In my mind I was like, "Huhu. Sana lang may matcha ice cream then okay na ko kung walang bago!"

But I was surprised as soon as I entered Sambokojin, it was a big feast. If their Megamall branch is the first Sambokojin branch you'll get to try, the older branches, although the food are mostly the same, would be a bit disappointing. 

Some of their sushi available. 
Dessert area.
Grabe!!!! Nakakalula. Ni wala nga ko masyadong natikman sa mga 'to. HAHAHA! Naniniwala ka ba?? :)))
This one's new.
Soft-served Vanilla ice cream and Frozen Yogurt. Kakamiss din talaga ng frozen yogurt!
And what is the green-colored ice cream that I am seeing?! Why is it still there and not in my stomach?? Hahaha. Charot. 
I love you forever, Sambokojin because of your matcha ice cream! Kaya dapat, forever na rin kayo may matcha para kahit sa'tin man lang, may forever. Edi wow. hehehe.
Different kinds of soba that I wasn't able to try.

But I heard that their ramen is good.
Grilling time!!!
HULING HULI. HAHAHA!!
My lips are so pale and that means I kept on eating 'cause I had no time to re-apply my lipstick. hehe.
More food options.
It's not like I concentrated on taking pictures of the dessert area, it's just that my hands were always full every time I passed by the main course areas.
Pwedeng swan, pwedeng rabbit.
More options from the sweets/desserts section.
Also love that there are chocolate fountains.

I wasn't able to take pictures of all the sections but there are definitely a lot more.

The whole food area was like an open kitchen so being able to watch the chefs preparing your food is a delight in itself. 
Nag jacket para matakpan ang mas lumaki pang tiyan. :)))) Guide na 'yan, ang mukha ko para sa susunod na makita niyo na papuntang Sambokojin e pigilan agad nang hindi sobrang daming pagkain ang ma-consume.

Hahahaha. Diet? Diet starts next month. Next month lang ng next month. ;)

See you again soon, Sambo SM Mega!! Dadayuhin ulit kahit malayo. 
This is the current pricelist of Sambokojin, SM Megamall. 
The options and their contact number below. Nakikita pa naman. ehehe
