 I think this is one of the newer restaurants there or I wasn't just aware that they've been there for a long time. Gosh. Ang dami ng mga must try Teacher's Village. I shall be visiting the others soon! How soon?? Idk. Haha. 
After eating at Artsy Cafe (I'll post about this next time), we walked towards The StrEAT but it was still closed. Good thing we found Theo's just a few blocks away.

They have shakes and pastries but we were full already so we just ordered drinks.
Para sa mga matitigas ang ulo na kagaya ko.. :) What is it that we deserve?! Wag na magpumilit. haha!
The space is usually the main problem of most restaurants in Maginhawa street. For here, two customers gave their seats up when we arrived so we were able to sit.

It will be best to avoid the peak hours for more comfortable stay. I personally dislike crowded places when eating out because the experience becomes irritating than relaxing but I know people who would rather have the people than peace and quiet. Anti-social levelz, ba3? Haha!
#matcha hazelnut latte, I will be back for you! Nabitin ako plez. Hehe.🙊 #theoscafeph #latteart 💕 🍵 #maginhawa

P 90.00
Matcha Hazelnut Latte

As you know, if you're a returning reader, I'm into anything matcha. Imagine how happy I was that they had a hot matcha latte in their menu. haha. I was able to purchase matcha powder so I'm having my own version of matcha latte almost everyday but I still get excited in trying out other restaurant's version of my favorite drink.

This one's good although the serving was a bit bitin for me since I'm used to venti-sized matcha latte HAHAHA EDI WOW. But in all seriousness and my katakawan aside, it's definitely worth it for its price and taste. The matcha wasn't overly potent so best for those who want mild taste of matcha with a hint of hazelnut. 

Hoping to go back to try their baked goodies as well.

I got to know this restaurant because of their Mighty Ton burger and Shake but we ordered something else when we went there.

We found the place with the help of Google map so I couldn't tell you more details about its location. Yan. Paka-dependent pa more sa technology. Haha!

We went a bit passed lunch time so it wasn't that crowded but all the seats inside were taken so we stayed here outside. I also wasn't able to go farther than the order counter so I have no comments about the interior. 
It was raining so hard when we were eating but it was comfortable nonetheless.
Brian's Rib
Single
P 250.00

I know that it doesn't look like it in the picture but this one was surprisingly big. My brother ate all of this but an order would be enough for like two to three "normal" people. HAHAHA! Nanira pa ko eh. It runs in the blood, guys. Matakaw talaga. Hehe. As for the taste, I found this delicious. It was flavorful and tender and last but definitely not the least, sulit. It's not everywhere you can find pork ribs this tasty and within the affordable price range.
Buffalo Wings
P 168.00

This one's fine too, I just found it too spicy for my preference.
Fisherman's Platter
P 328.00

We couldn't decide which of the seafood options to order so we had this Fisherman's Platter;  Karlamari, Tavern Shrimps, and Battered Fish Fillet.

I had a difficult time choosing a restaurant where I'd take my family for my birthday treat and then The Porch came to mind. I was hesitant at first since I haven't tried eating here before but it's a good thing that we pushed through even if we had a hard time locating this place bago ko buksan ang GPS. haha! With the affordable price, delicious food, and hearty servings The Porch by Casa Verde is definitely worth trying out.

I am not really into facial scrubs but I bought this because of the blackheads I have in my nose. -_- I was looking for their nose strips (the most effective nose strip for me), but it was out of stock. 

The packaging is cute but bulky.

What made this interesting is that it is pegged as a self-heating balm that removes oils and dirt. And that it doesn't contain parabens.
Gently massage on face for 3-5 minutes then rinse. Remember that a little of this product goes a long way.


My face got softer after I used this but the blackheads were still there although looked smaller. I guess one has to use this for twice a week to see better results.

It is almost a year since we first ate here and I've tried several restaurants as well but Hanayo Grill in Tomas Morato remains as one of my favorite Korean Restaurants/ Eat-All-You-Can places.

Aside from the unlimited iced tea, I didn't notice other changes but I am posting this here because of my companions' request na, "Ilagay mo rin naman picture namin sa post mo!" Oh so, ito na nga!! Buti kung lahat ng post ko ay may mukha ko e, noh? Bihira lang din naman ako magpakita. Haha. 


My first time at Hanayo. 
Note: Mas okay na review 'yung first post ko, please refer to that. Ipo-post ko lang 'to para sa mga pictures nila. 

The price is around P 550.00/person which is not bad kasi ice cream pa lang, bawi na.

Hanayo Grill has sushi and kimbap in their options. Hihi
Even if three years have passed since I first tried Samgyeopsal, I still crave for it once in a while.

제일 좋아하는 한국음식
Different meat options for the grill. 
Love it that these ice creams are buffet inclusive.
Pabebe Girls
Walang makakapigil sa braso kooooo! hahaha.

Maipilit lang! OH GOSH. HAHAHA. Katunog naman. :))

Fifteen days after posting my Oh Hey August post, I am posting this just because. Hehe.

First,

Today is Aldub's fifth weeksary and I'm still hooked.

I have always been a solid Dabarkads though I don't get to watch them everyday but since Aldub happened, I look forward to the video uploaded in their Facebook page every night.

We all know that this phenomenon/fever/addiction, whatever we call this thing was an accident. I know that this is not in the plan but look at where it is now. 

If there are three things that I want to (re)learn from this Kalyeserye they are: 1) I can't please everybody. 2) I will allow life to surprise me. 3) I will embrace changes and thrive.

It was just a simple kilig moment of Yaya Dub when she realized that Alden was watching her and suddenly, SURPRISE!!!! It was the birth of the well-loved split screen loveteam, Aldub. <3

 The segment was for Problem Solving... but Eat Bulaga let go and embraced the change then it was the birth of the first ever Kalyeserye, Kiligpamore (Kung 'yan nga 'yung title o tuko ba? Haha!)

Diba, galing lang sa isang pabebe wave e nagkakagulo na tayong lahat?! Naiisip mo ba what if hindi nila pinansin 'yung, "Uy si Yaya nako-conscious kay Alden!" ni Allan K. kasi hindi naman 'yun 'yung segment? Edi wala tayong Kalyeserye ngayon. :)) 

Hahahaha. Pero ito, para relevant sa'tin lahat what if 'yung kung anong ginawa ng EB sa show nila (No wonder strong pa rin after 36 years!), e i-apply natin sa mga buhay natin? Nai-imagine o nai-isip mo ba kung gano kalaki 'yung potential na meron tayo? Kaya go. Pag may opportunity kahit wala sa plano e go lang. Malay natin. :) 

Sabi nga ni Gina Greenlee, "Cultivate the art of maximizing serendipitous opportunities."
10, 11, 12, 13, 14 forever and ever? 😶 Kahapon pa ko nagfa-fangirl dahil sa iba't ibang dahilan.😍 See you soon, Popoy and Basha! 👍#onemorechance #movie #johnlloydcruz ❤

My fangirling side is alive, alert, awake, enthusiastic these past several days.

We Got Married's Lee Jonghyun and Gong Seungyeon (I feel sad that they're leaving the show though but I'm hoping that they're dating in real life!), Eat Bulaga's Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza and last but definitely not the least, ang pinakauna kong kinaadikan - John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. Tuwang tuwa ako when I went home the other night and someone sent me the link of the trailer of One More Chance 2!!!! Pag walang lovelife, sa ganito na lang talaga kukuha ng kilig, noh? Hahahaha! Keri lang. Sabi nga ni Lola Nidora, "Sa tamang panahon..." :))))))) Wooo. EXCITED NA KO SA MOVIE PLS!! At sana makita ko naman sila JLC sa personal. Bakit ba ang laki-laki ng mundo namin at hindi ko sila mahagilap o ma-tyempuhan kung saan? haha!

I have yet to start my Palawan series posts. What's making it hard for me to begin is the process of selecting which pictures to include in the blog posts. El Nido and Puerto Princesa are so beautiful that it's difficult to decide which photos should I not include.

On another note, I read that a tourist died in Coron. It seemed like he stepped on a poisonous coral or something but I have yet to confirm what the real cause of his death was. Pero ganun, sa corals o sa marine life ang sisi. 

All the time naman, andun 'yung hazard ng mga ganyan when we travel. Yes, it could have been prevented if there was a proper first aid or a better hospital facility in Coron but still, it's unfortunate that it's still far from happening. Nakakalungkot lang. Sabi nila, "Coron isn't ready yet for tourists arrivals." Haaay. Hindi lang naman tourists eh. Bisita lang kami. Sana lang, hindi lang para sa tourists kundi para sa locals e magkaroon ng mas maayos na hospitals. 

I still would like to believe that there would come a time when...

  • we, especially those living in the remote places of our country, will have access to great healthcare services. 
  • all inhabited islands will have their own hospitals and schools. Hospitals hindi para maging ready for tourists ang isang lugar kundi hospitals dahil may mga locals din naman na nagkakasakit. 
  • all roads (bridges, highways etc.) are well-paved.
  • we're no longer hassled by the severe traffic congestion. Hello sa DOTC chief na nagsabing hindi fatal ang traffic dito sa'tin. Not burdensome to the daily lives of Filipinos? Hindi po siguro kayo lumalabas ng bahay pag rush hour, hindi niyo pa po siguro nararanasan ma-stuck sa traffic ng more than four hours minsan pag dumadaan ng C5 o EDSA. Haaaaay. :(
  • we'll have better transportation system. Better MRT and LRT pls lang!
  • going anywhere feels safe from snatchers, opportunists, hold-uppers and the likes.
Umaasa pa rin ako sa isang mas maayos na Pilipinas. Kapit lang!!!!!!! Pag susukuan natin 'to, lalo lang mawawalan ng pag-asa. Huhuhu.
Life is all about making choices. Always do your best to make the right ones and always do your best to learn from the wrong ones. Happy Monday! 😊 #quote #clouds #nature

'Yung concern ko last time, well, sinuko ko na. :) 'Yung Yes kasi na hinihintay ko, dumating na 'yon pero hindi ko pinansin but the good news is I am not brokenhearted about it anymore dahil sobrang bilis ko naman ata ever mag-move on. hahaha. Charot lang. Sabi kasi ulit ni Gina, "Relinquish the notion of lost opportunity and try on a new reality: Where I am is where I’m supposed to be.”  May reason 'yun pagshonga-shonga ko kaya enough na 'yung kaka- "Sana pala..." ko. hehe. It may have taken time for me to forgive myself (mga 1 week haha!) but I am letting go of my what ifs and I'm ending this chapter of my life already to give myself peace. Tama na kaka-desire sa isang bagay na hindi mo nahawakan. May better naman na darating! 

Lakas ulit maka-lesson learned nito ah. Hahaha. Pag maulit 'yung ganitong eksena, jump and the net will appear! (Hindi literal) hihi. Bahala na. Keri. Next pls! :D


Life isn't perfect but we can always find something to be grateful for.

May we live a life open to surprises!
God bless. :)
