Welcome Back Kisty!
Last February 13, I had a “Pre-Valentine’s” and “Welcome Back Kisty” dinner with my BBs! I traveled all the way from Manila to Greenbelt 5 with Dianne. By the time we met up with Kisty and Cariza, we couldn’t decide where to eat and we were already so hungry. Since John and Yoko was only a few steps away, we decided to dine there instead. A few minutes later, Jessa and Jonver arrived as well.

How To Enjoy Friday the 13th
Exactly 29 days ago, it was 2012’s first Friday the 13th. They say it’s an unlucky day. I don’t really believe in superstitions so I took no precautions whatsoever for this event. In fact, I actually enjoyed my Friday the 13th! I had super duper fun that I thought to make this a “How To” post so that you guys can also take pleasure in this unfortunate day (as they...

Featured at OhMyJeka's blog
Months ago, Jeka e-mailed me asking if she could feature me at her blog. I said yes of course but I was only able to respond to her interview just recently because as you all may know, I’ve been busy on the last quarter of 2011. Good thing the sweet doll still wanted to put me up the spotlight, teehee. I had fun answering her questions so go ahead and read them here.

Aside from this, he is also the creative director of ZONE Magazine.

Chocolate Heaven: Maitre Chocolatier
Remember my last day at Starbucks? Well, Bea and I had another reason to celebrate so we decided to dine at Maitre Chocolatier. We’ve been planning for weeks to eat at this place and it finally happened. She said I really really had to try it there because the food is great. In my head, anything incorporated with chocolate would definitely be yummy.
It would be my first time to eat here and I...

Farewell Starbucks
Working with Starbucks has been such a blast!
Being chosen to be one of the two Marketing interns to work with them was such an honor. Not only was I able to learn from the company and the people, I was also able to have fun in the process. It’s not the usual internship wherein you’re only asked to do clerical work. Definitely not, because I got to experience more than that. I was given...

A Reason To Celebrate
While walking along Jupiter a few weeks back, we saw Romulo’s Cafe, a newly opened restaurant. We got attracted to its lovely interiors and decided to try it out. However, at that time, they were only accommodating diners with reservations. Disappointed but still eager, we both decided that we should dine there sooner or later. So on the second to the last day of me and Bea’s Starbucks...

Sizzling with Good Company
Eating here won’t be my first choice but since Cez, one of my best girl friends, has been craving for days, we set a date to meet up at Mall of Asia to eat at this restaurant. On the 2nd Sunday of the year, I found myself sitting at Sizzling Pepper Steak together with Cez, Kaye and Empe.
As if it we all saw it coming, I was *ahem* 30 minutes late. In my defense, I came all the way from the...

It's Never Too Late for a Christmas Post
Two and a half weeks ago, it was Christmas. I’ve been busy, busy, busy so I wasn’t able to blog at all! But of course, it’s better late than never, right? As much as I’d love to make individual entries on all of the happenings that you’ll see in this post, I guess the right time for that has already passed. Instead, I’ll be summing up my Christmas week!

Happy girls are the prettiest girls :)
After our Night of Christmas event at Starbucks’ Rockwell Drive, Bea and I already had plans of going to UST’s Paskuhan with friends and dinner at Old Swiss. Since our friends decided not to show up (you know who you are, haha), we decided to ditch our plans and just find a place nearby to have dinner and relax. Luckily enough, I saw a Cantinetta just a few steps away. I remember Mom told me...

Speaking of Cool Camera Straps
The PdP camera straps are back with a new look! The neck strap has been overhauled by creating a bigger surface area to showcase more of the design, while still using the same neoprene material for cushioning and net foam for some “breathing space”, as with the previous batch. Genuine leather straps are now utilized to connect the camera to the neck strap more securely as well. At the price of PhP...
