Craving for:
Milkshake?
Frozen Yogurt?
Shaved Ice?
Smoothie?

Whatever it is that you feel like eating out of the four mentioned above, I'm sure you'll find a flavor you want in Shakeaway, UPTC. 


Over 180 flavors?
How overwhelming interesting is that?

Anyway, for those who don't know, Shakeaway is the world's largest milkshake bar company from United Kingdom. Yup, another international franchise that has arrived to the Philippines. 


Once you enter the store, you'll immediately notice this wall filled with these yummy goodies that you may add in your milkshake. 


To add to your confusion, huhu, parang ang sarap lahat!!!!



Do you like your drink Fruity? Sweety? Chocolatey? or Biscuity?

Since there are a lot of options, I liked that the list is already in the tables. Ang hirap naman din kasi mamili tas nakakangawit sa neck... dahil sobrang undecided ko parati. :)) Kasi naman over 180 flavors and over million of possible combination! Hirap, besh! But at the same time, it's impossible to not have something that will suit your taste. 

It was a bloggers' event and for that night, we were able to try four milkshakes and frozen yogurt. 


Max

Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Filled Mint Candy with Milk Chocolate Chips on top.

Despite my initial impression that the mint overpowered all the chocolate taste in this milkshake, I came to like the combination after a few sips that I can say that out of the four I've tried that night, this was the best for me. <3

Jose

Ube and Macapuno with pinipig on top

This one is exclusive to the Philippines

This one's good too especially 'cause love your own, mga bes! Filipino flavors 'yan eh. 


Toasty Tim

This drink is a part of their winter menu which means that it's limited edition. But once this one's out, they will definitely be releasing new set of menu for the next limited edition drinks. 

The first time I've read hot milk shake I got curious already so good thing we were given this to try out. I loved how thick this hot chocolate drink is. 


I forgot which soda was this but this is one of their soda shakes which I liked as well. Float na hinalo na nila for you, ganern. 


I'm definitely going back for their matcha milkshake so watch out for me, Shakeaway. :))


That's it for the milkshakes... Here's the frozen yogurt. 


The thing that I liked the most is that they used fresh strawberries. I just got used to strawberry purees on my frozen yogurt that I am impressed that the fruits are fresh. And look how generous they are with granola. So much love for, Izzie, the Fresh Froyo!



Thank you, Shakeaway Philippines for having us and Aldous for the invite! :)


Visit them at: Ground Floor, Phase 2, UP Town Center

Perfect place for team buildings, family gatherings... and budget conscious/anti-social people like us that is near Manila. Hahaha.

Bakasyunan Resort and Conference Center Part 1 post; here.
Bakasyunan Resort Website, Amenities and Rates: here.


You have two pool options in Bakasyunan. 

This one which is overlooking the bay, windmills and Talim Island. 


And these two which is more secluded. 


This is their restaurant, bar and billiards area. 


We wanted to swim that morning but it was cold when we headed out the room so we just decided to walk around the team building area to take some pictures. They have all the activities in their website, please refer to that for the rates. 


We stayed there for quite some time that morning 'cause no other people were around. HAHA


EZ BB

Easy na easy mag panggap na strong kahit hindi. Charoooooot! Strong 'to. Mabilis lang bumitaw pero strong. HAHAHA. 


This reminded me of San Diego's Safari. hehe. 


We ate breakfast and decided to eat lunch there as well after checking out because we were thinking of heading to the windmills before going home but it started to rain. K, balik na lang kami, Tanay. 


Other point of interest in Tanay:

Regina Rica 
Pililia Windmills


I don't know but I really love looking at windmills. HAHAHA. As in, life pwede bang mag bahay na rin ako sa Rizal tas windmills 'yung background?? O patayo na lang ako ng sarili kong wind farm?? Luh hahaha

Kahit saan basta "walang tao" edi hayop... bagay, ganern? #lostinph #travelph #wanderlust #pinasmuna #nature

We had a glamping site in our mind since last December when we were planning our first (definitely not the last) get-away for 2017 but all they were offering for the weekend was an overnight, literally overnight that we had to leave at 6 AM the next morning. We were like, "Ugh, whatever. Let's find somewhere nice and relaxing."

We searched online for the resorts in Rizal. We were left with three options but Bakasyunan Resort's Website got us. Aside from the "almost" infinity pool overlooking Laguna Bay, Laguna, Rizal and Talim Island, it was the view of the windmills that lured us in. Not to mention that the cottage prices are affordable so it was within budget. 

To get here, we rode a jeepney to Tanay and tricycle to Bakasyunan.

Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall - Junction - Tanay - Tricycle

Shopwise, Antipolo - Tanay - Tricycle (We passed through this on our way home, it's a bit shorter compared to what we took on our way to the resort)

Starmall Shaw, FX to Tanay then Tricycle (option for South people and those who don't like to ride a jeepney)

I knew of a different route that passes through Cogeo, I forgot which was it exactly but it was a jeepney ride from a market in Rizal to Sampaloc, Tanay.


I prefer the Cogeo route (especially for private vehicles) but if you're coming from Teresa, Baras etc., this is a bit past the entrance of Daranak and Batlag Falls. 


Our tricycle driver stopped at the gate 'cause he thought that tricycles weren't allowed to enter the resort. Koya, magtanong kasi. Uphill, oh. Kahingal. HAHAHA. 


We had a reservation before going but we weren't able to print the proof of fund transfer. It's a good thing though that they print for free. 


Hello there, Pililia Windmills!

Pililia Windmills post link: here.


They had two areas with pool. This one's the infinity with the view of the windmills. 


Our room for our overnight stay.


Sulit for its price!


The room was clean. Towels, tissue roll and soap were provided. 



When we climbed Mt. Daraitan, we weren't able to go swim at Tinipak River so this is something I'm considering going back to. Ito lang. Di na 'yung Daraitan. HAHAHA!


At my back are bigger cottages than what we rented for the night, those are perfect for bigger groups or families.


While there are a lot of activities at the resort, we weren't able to do any because of budget constraints. Haha. Since we had to pay for each. :)) We just walked around and feel the mountain breeze. 


The sunset color was superb even if we weren't able to see the sun, the variation of colors were more than enough beauty... and the girl at the picture was even more beautiful. ANORAW. UWI NA?! hahaha


We really wanted to save but the corkage fee scared us that only things we were able to bring were bottles of water, chips and bread. hahaha. We were hoping that Bakasyunan Resort's food will make not only our tummies happy, but our wallet as well.


And yes, it did.

Each order was for 2-3 persons and the taste was okay too. Keri lang, wag na magbaon kung di naman kayo group. 
 


After we had our dinner, a lot of people were already by the pool area so it was out turn to go out to the team building part of the resort just so we wouldn't have to stay with the crowd... uhm, anti-social people? :))


Syempre, hanggang tingin lang kami. :))


This was where we stayed after dinner. HAHAHA!!!!!

Team building kung saan walang tao. Anong activity? Zumba via Youtube instructor. Makaiwas lang talaga sa tao. HAHAHAHA.

May part two pics. :D

El Chapo's Food stall in The Yard, Xavierville

This is definitely one of the food stalls in The Yard that I would want to go back to. They have reasonable prices, generous servings at ang sarap, bes. And not but not the least, LEGAL. :))




Both their soft tacos are good but I prefer the one with beef salpicao more than the one with sisig. The beef salpicao was tender and it was really delicious!! Sobrang bagay din sa soft taco. And look, hindi lang siya pang Instagram na itsura kasi masarap talaga. 


Those beef bits are beef salpicao, I believe.

Their nachos have hefty servings which is very okay for its price. Sarap pa nung toppings. 


Grilled Corn!!

I've had something similar to this when I was in the states so it kind of reminded me of that. Ang saya except that I really have low tolerance when it comes to spicy food that I kind of got surprised when I ate the hot sauce. But the spiciness, creaminess (of the white sauce), and the sweetness of the corn were, overall, a good taste combination. Looking forward to having this again!


It doesn't look like it but the rings were pretty huge. Mabenta 'to that we finished it instantly the moment it was served. Perfect paired with the white dip that it comes with. Or the hot sauce if you're into spicy food. 





Thank you, Aldous and El Chapo's! :D

That one afternoon when you enjoyed your matcha gelato shake and took many selfies... tell me about it. HAHAHAHA!

I've been meaning to try this one out eversince I saw the sponsored post in Facebook.

Post about Manila Creamery, UPTC link: here.


Here's to y'all matcha lovers out there, here's one you should try out too!


Matcha Taho Gelato Shake

I was a bit skeptical because the combination kinda weirded me out at first but I was like, what is there to lose? Matcha naman and I love everything Manila Creamery! No joke. 

Was it really taho? I seriously couldn't distinguish what the white part of this shake is but I liked that there's texture in this. May nginunguya. HAHA. The flavor combination of taho and matcha was so on point though I really wish that they start selling plain matcha gelato.

Btw, we went back there few weeks ago but it was almost closing so I was only able to order their Salted Egg Cheesecake gelato which was good too.



And then I noticed that there's sticker...



One selfie...



and another...



And another... :)))))

So ano difference ng pictures? palaki lang ng palaki mata ko. hahaha!



You're next, Manila Creamery's Matcha Latte! <3
