I Won't Go Home Without You!

May 29, 2013 0
I Won't Go Home Without You!
SAY HI TO MY HAIR BOW
Yesterday, I decided to renew my driving license which expired last Feb 14  and it's never a good thing to have an expired license around. I did a little bit of research before going to the renewal center and people generally had a good and easy experience but I didn't feel that ease that much. Although it's really so much better than the initial license application. I guess it's also my fault that I didn't go there early enough. But anyways. I went out my cousin at around 10 am and we reached the renewal center an hour after and then what? The guy at the counter said that I could fill in the form thingy and just come back after 1 because they have a cut off daw. Wow ha. I wish I could have a 2 hour break din. So what can I do? I filled in the form and submitted it to the guy and left the place. It's a good thing that it's very near a mall so we went. 


Before going out our house, we already decided to eat at Yakimix because my cousin told me she haven't eaten there yet so since I had a good experience before, I agreed! I will have a separate post about my Yakimix experience part 2 right after this particular post so you could look forward to that. Or not. Whatever. NO REGRETS. 

"WALANG HIYA-HIYA"
Okay so the last picture I would be showing you guys is the most wonderful experience of yesterday. When I finally got my license, which took us about 3 long hours, we went back to the mall and then I saw this! And of course, must take pictures! I actually don't pay much attention to posters but then this is like divine intervention. So that was my day yesterday. It was so much fun! :) Can I just say that I was really happy when I saw my license picture. I hope I can show you my previous one but that picture is a mess, to be honest. I was supposed to take a picture of that but my cousin wanted to play Candy Crush on my phone and when she already finished playing, the lady at the counter already called me and asked me to surrender the previous one so, too bad. Also, can I just say that I didn't know you could look at a person and know their blood pressure right away. If you want to know how it's done, then ask the doctor in charge in that license renewal center because I don't know. Magic perhaps. That's all! :)

My Cup of Tea

My Cup of Tea

I don't know what's up with this girl trying to sit in a different place and leaving us behind. Seriously, B? Seriously? 

So we took a photo without her. Hahaha

Actually since we went there kind of early, they've just turned on the AC so my sister decided to position herself near the AC unit for her own good. Meanwhile, since it's actually quite bearable, my  other sister and I stayed on the couch.


I got their Blueberry Cheesecake and my sisters got Mango Cheesecake and yeah. Actually, I actually ordered Strawberry but whatever. I order Blueberry almost every time when I was still a Medical Technology Intern so I just thought I'd try the Strawberry. But anyways.


Now, I actually don't know if they really used to look like this because in the laboratory, I really have no time to look at its appearance before sipping it or whatever but yeah. It looks quite unappetizing but it\s actually good. Also, the thingy inside looks more like a Greenberry rather than Blueberry. 


Then we asked our other sister to join us because the condition inside is getting better and even though she hesitated at first, she really can't do anything when I ordered her with my "follow my order or else" kind of tone. Haha just kidding. I love my sisters.


Good vibes! :)

How Sweet

How Sweet
Although life is full of shittery. Wait, what? Just kidding. Really though. There are a LOT of things we should be thankful for. In my previous post, I told you about the Japanese who visited the Philippines. This is what they got me! Yay! My sisters got more than I did but I understand! :) 


You know, I'm not really good in differentiating chocolates. They all tasted very much the same to me. :))


You already probably know that I don't like assorted stuff all that much but here's what the inside of the assorted cookies box looks like and I kind of don't know how I feel about them but I absolutely love the one with PISTACHIO! I love love love! The rest was okay but there's a particular cookie that I didn't like. It's the one at the upper right corner. It has sesame seeds and I don't really understand its flavor. Oh I also didn't like the cookie below that sesame cookie but I did finish it thinking I probably should give it a chance but after eating everything, nah, but it's okay. I mean, I'm probably neutral when it comes to it. That's all! :))

Danke!

Danke!
Danke or Thank You in German is what I want this post to be known as. I don't know why and I wouldn't actually enumerate those in this post but I JUST WANNA. I feel like it.
I got this shirt from my mom as one of the presents for my Birthday :) I love myself. Yup! Oh and I saw my high school friend on our way there and I actually showed her my shirt and we just laughed at it. It was nice to see her. I have to catch-up with my high school buddies soon!

On a more serious note, I swear I just have to let this go. The guy in front of me was wearing a shirt with somehow a naked woman at the back of his shirt. I was like, wow! Does he really know where he's going?There were KIDS inside the church and he was with his family at the first place. DUH. There were a lot of things I noticed inside the church but okay I won't mention it na. BECAUSE I SHOULD BE CONCENTRATING ON THE MASS. Not the people. But sometimes I can't. I just feel like people don't know its worth any more. 

Moving on. So after the mass, we planned to go to Infinitea to chill and all that but since it's relatively new to that place, it's super crowded and we didn't want to wait so I was like, let's just go upstairs and find another shop. 
And then we went to Baresso. My best friend and I actually used to go there as high school students because the Barista looks like Mark Herras. Ha! High school kids! Haha. Too bad he's not working there anymore. Anyways! :D 
We both ordered something Mocha based because we just had coffee and chocolate earlier that time. So yeah. What can I say? I actually don't remember how their stuff used to taste like. I mean, way back high school but yeah I don't know how I feel about their stuff  now. I think that the flavor was too strong and somehow the drink itself was too sweet but their place is kind of cool. I just thought that I didn't get what I paid for. Their meals are quite affordable but their drinks are kind of expensive. Will definitely go back and try other stuff from there. That's all! :)

Teresita's. Food Trip.

Teresita's. Food Trip.
My mom told me I was on Duty when they first tried eating here. And she also said that the owner of this restaurant is related to the owner of Razon's, a place where we eat often. We even tried their branch in Gua Gua. Anyways. 


Mom is love! I don't know what happened to her hair nor what she's doing but she's so awesome! :) Haha


My sisters are love! :) 

  

Poor little sister. Her order actually came in last.


My mom actually recommended this and it was good but not for the health. I mean, it's alright to try once in a while but you know, I wish I could check our lipid profile or something. 


And then her food arrived! Happy kid is happy.

  

Overall, I did enjoy my food. It's a lot like Razon's though so I wonder why my mom decided to eat there. I just don't know if Razon's serves Chicharon Bulaklak. Maybe not. Oh well. It was a fun night. I am happy. :)

Army Navy. UST.

Army Navy. UST.
Army Navy in UST is kind of new so it's always jump packed and all that but since we were so happy and we were really in the mood to celebrate the success of our Thesis Oral Defense, we didn't mind waiting. The thing is we were actually supposed to take-out the food and eat inside the uni but I guess we were lucky to be able to find a place inside so we stayed. 


That guy in a plaid shirt is my friend as well :)) Just saying. 


Thesis group mates minus 1. Oh well. 


Featuring AJ's creepy smile. Hahaha for some reason, nakakainis. Hahaha joke lang. Peace! :))


I had Burger there but actually, I was thinking of getting Chicken Burrito but since I already had Chicken Sandwich at Pancake House earlier, so I kind of changed up my mind. 


I'm gonna miss this group! Love! :)

Tinapayan.

Tinapayan.

This bakeshop is near UST but I didn't get a chance to taste anything from them before. Until last Friday. My friend actually recommended the place. She asked us randomly if we know the place and one of my co-interns answered "of course" and then my other co-intern and I was like, "what?" "where?" and all that. And then they were like, you'll be graduating already but you still haven't tried the breads there? And we were like, yeah. Hahaha so last Friday, after duty, and when I run some errands near UST, I was like, okay Imma go that Tinapayan place to try some breads. 


My friend particularly recommended Cream Puffs, Eclairs, and Bee Hive. Unfortunately, Eclairs is not available that time but I still managed to get some! 


I'm not really a fan of Cream Puffs because you know, I don't like how soft it is and all that. My sisters and dad like this stuff but you know, there's no harm in trying so I thought I'd give it one more try. Okay so unlike in Japan, the serving is quite small. More like a bite-size which I appreciate. Less hassle, and all that. 


Awesome! The only thing I don't like about it is that it is coated with candy. Like, caramelized sugar that's like left alone so it's kind of hard. Not a fan. I used to really like that though. Okay so it was awesome. Like, it was really good. Except the caramel top. I don't know.

 The Bee Hive was also good. I like how it's not too sweet. I don't have a close up picture of Bee Hive. Sorry. Next time! Probably. But that's that chocolate thingy you can see from the second picture above. :) 


This taste like Shu Cream more than the Cream Puffs so I'm not really a fan of this. But good to try. Might be your type. It's not that kind of type that I think nobody would like. Get what I mean?

Yakimix. Food Trip!

Yakimix. Food Trip!
It was my sister's birthday last Sunday and thank goodness for my schedule. Like, I was from night duty so whatever but the point is I'M OFF. So we went to Robinson's Place Manila a short while after I came home. That would be around 9:00 am I guess? Yup. So we went kind of early to buy my sister stuff.


This is the first plate that I got. Thought I'd share it with you. :)) The best thing that I liked in this buffet is that they have sea foods! Which I like. Actually, there's like a reminder on the table that says we should have a separate plate for cooked and raw stuff but you know, I really wanted to taste their Lechon Kawali so I got a piece of that. Surprisingly good so I definitely recommend you try it whenever you decide to eat there or something. 


Already cooking the stuff I got. I must say that the sea foods are really my fave. I also did enjoy everything else though. 


Hello to my "FROM DUTY" face. Haha mess.Can I just say that I am the person in-charge of actually grilling stuff and putting it to people's plates so when we took most of the photos, I was like "yung niluluto ko masusunog na!" Haha wala lang.


The one with the mayonnaise on top was DELISH! Like, it's not entirely raw. Kind of steamed and it was perfection! The rest was okay. I also like the one with TUNA in it. They also have a wide selection of sweets! Like, heaven.


I think the Chocolate Cake was popular because there were only two slices left on the table.


They got cakes, fruits, ice creams, jellos, tarts, fruit salads, sweet nuts, sweet potato chips, crinkles, cupcakes, and more!


Can I just say that these little things are love? I only had the cheesecakes though because I was already full but others actually don't look as appealing as the cheesecakes. I had two Blueberry Cheesecakse and one Cheese Mousse Cake, 


Awesome, right?

 Can I just say that I've just noticed that there's like a formed heart there? Awesome. And the white cake is actually the Cheese Mousse I was talking about awhile ago.


Us sporting our sweets! :) And mom was quite proud because the one she's holding is the same color as her top. Haha. Yun lang.
