Feels Like Heaven: Sinfully by Makati Shangri-La

I remember the previous year, I was able to go this dessert shop at Greenbelt, Makati and I couldn't forget the euphoria I had the moment I bought their macaroons. Last week, I was feeling really blue and sad because of the pressure I'm feeling with all the school works so I decided to come back to Sinfully for another round of extreme tummy happiness.

Sinfully's Get Kissed chocolates

Sinfully's signature pralines 

Cookie lollipops and mini chocolate chips

"When words are not enough, have an emoti-cake." 

French macaroons, all available in different flavors! 

Pistachio & chocolate are definitely my favorites.

A perfect dose of sweets for the stressed G.

SEM BREAK 2012: Series Craze

Yes, I officially declare my sem break despite my hanging paper in PA 104. I don’t care, I wanna enjoy already. And because of thiiis, I’ve made up a list of series that are lined up for me to watch. I DEFINITELY CANNOT WAIT!!! My copies are ready, pillows are now here, food is also prepared and it’s all set.

1. THE BIG BANG THEORY

Starting it now with Season 1, yes I know I’m so late. But, ugh. I have to watch this!! 

2. NEW GIRL

Must-watch. Reason: Zooey Deschanel. ‘Nuff said.

3. AMERICAN HORROR STORY

4. GREY’S ANATOMY

5. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

On my 4th season already, I’m so pumped up with its latest season!! Damon and Elena forever. <3

6. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

My favorite series ever. Season 8 is its second to the last, so I can’t wait to know who really is the mother.

PS. I love you, Ted Mosby. :)

So basically, this is how my sem break will pass. It’s all about me and my list of series. <3 Kudos!

Plastic Balloons

(I wanna write this post in Tagalog so that I could really show how happy this day was. I’ll try to be fluent, but if I can’t, pardon me. HAHA)

So ayun, naranasan niyo ba nung bata kayo na humihingi kayo parati ng dalawang piso sa parents niyo para lang makabili sa sari-sari store ng plastic balloons? Well, I did. As in naalala ko dati, tinitipid ko ung nag-iisang plastic balloon para lang makagawa ako ng three balloons out of it (since hindi naman ako binibilhan nila Mom and Dad ng marami. Huhu.). 

Last Friday (October 04, 2012), I went to Divisoria with my college friends to make a documentary for our Bonifacio trail. Ayoko na ikwento ‘yan kasi out of the main story. :)) Anyway, so went to 168 Shopping Mall to ahve lunch and roam around after. 

Nung nag-iikot kami, napunta kami sa isang floor na puro kiddie stuffs ung binebenta. There were stamps, stickers, balloons, and anything with cartoon characters na super mura lang. What caught our attention was the ever-famous plastic balloons, then we all had this are-you-thinking-what-I’m-thinking look. We planned on buying atleast three pieces each pero sabi nung ale, di daw pwede na tingi lang. Sooo, we ended up buying one “banig” of plastic balloons (which had 48 pieces). HAHA! My friend Bianca said, “Sige, ready na ko magka-beke mamaya.” :)))

So nung nakabili na kami, we went back to UP Manila since we had theater rehearsals from 4-7pm. We were earlier than the call time so nag-decide kami na magstart na with the plastic balloons. SOBRANG SAYA NAMIN, WITH MATCHING TEARS OF JOY. Haha! Parang blast to your childhood days ulit ung feeling, nakakawala ng stress. We can see the faces of people passing by, and making statements like, “Uy oh, plastic balloons! Kakainggit!” or “Aww. Bili nga din tayo mamaya nun!”

The art of making plastic balloons.

In short, naubos namin ung 48 pcs. of plastic balloons. HAHA. I repeat, 48 pieces. Tapos, gumawa kami ng balloon tower, out of kabaliwan lang. :)) Here are pictures. :p

With our giant balloon masterpiece. Haha!

Pictures with Yvette, Bianca and Angel. :-)

Sometimes, it is necessary to feed the kid in you.

Back to Paradise

If there's one place I want to go back all the time, it has to be Universal Studios Singapore. My perfect getaway place. :-)

Giant Hershey's syrup. <3

Extreme @ Universal Studios (FREAKING LEGIT AWESOME)

Nostalgia: Goodbye, Multiply

Have you ever made a blog or opened an account where you almost put everything that happens in your life in it? Well, I did and Multiply has been the perfect site for all the pictures, blogs, and videos of my high school life. 

THE SAD REVELATION

The heartbreaking news is that Multiply will no longer exist by December. :( The moment  I heard about this, I was left with no choice but to open my account, recover everything, and reminisce.

NOSTALGIC EPISODE

How can you not laugh with pictures and videos of you and your friends when you look so silly, "jeje" and young? Oh, the memories.

Senior year // Foundation week

Junior year with my classmates from Perseverance class 

Oh no. The ever famous baboy picture with my classmate, Joseph. 

My favorite ladies. <3 We don't act like ladies. HAHA

THIZZ FACE.

Prom night at Bellevue Hotel, Alabang

Cheering days. I miss dancing. :(

Sticks and Leaves

Spent last Saturday with high school friends: Kimy Espiritu, Richie Decena, Luigi Donida & Raymart Isais. I was supposed to finish all my reports, but damn it. Spending the night with these people is just worth the cheat. :)

1st stop: Cafe Boheme

2nd pitstop: Classic Homes Village
Living young, wild, and free. ;)

Love for Food: Cafe Boheme & Le Souk

I think it is not a crime for a woman to crave for all these things and have it all in one night.



Cafe Boheme's Creamy Mustard & Chicken Pasta



Cafe Boheme's Clubhouse Sandwich

The great thing about restaurants in BF Homes is that they're just beside each other. These two particular places: Cafe Boheme & Le Souk have to be my favorite hang-out places. Not only do they have a great ambience, they also serve a great list of food.




Le Souk's Greek Seared Fish (P115)



Le Souk's Iced Tea Slush (P35)

Cafe Boheme

I'm pretty sure most of us hate the fact that Starbucks or Coffee Bean or Seattle's Best has been so crowded lately, that you'd rather stay at home and have that 3-in-1 coffee. Well, I have a perfect coffee place (especially for people from the South) that I can say has the perfect ambience.

Located at BF Homes, Paranaque (beside Le Souk, acroos Tides Bar)

Cozy sofas everywhere! Stay the whole day, it's all good.

This shelf offers great novels, crayons for kids, board games and even chips for
everyone to enjoy.

Cakes ranging from P90-P110/ slice. Worth it, must try their red velvet. :>

Countdown to Aging

One of the best things in life is witnessing a friend grow up, and take another step to a greater life.

On-the-house shot from Le Souk! Happy 19th, mister!



The birthday salubong happened last June 02, 2012 with some of my high school batchmates at Le Souk Bar & Grill, BF Homes. This place holds too many memories for us.

With my best friend Czara Flores & Bruce Hermoso

My girlies. <3
