Everyday Cheers!

Waffle December 14, 2013 2

I look very pale nowadays. But that's besides the point. Hello there guys.

Recently, I got a recommendation from my sister about this tea place near her school. Well my previous school too to be proper. She said it's pretty nice and somehow hidden. That I like for sure. First thing she recommended me is their Smores! I have been looking for a place that serves this for so long and I'm just lucky to be able to find one.

SMORES <3

It's a pretty small piece for what it's worth I think but whatever. It's quite good. Not good as in GOOD but uhm good enough. And also, not that expensive actually.

My cousin who doesn't really like marshmallows enjoyed it too. So that's nice.

Oh I'm pretty disappointed with their teas though. We both had something from the Rock Salt but yeah it was such a disappointment at some point. I mean, not really that good. Not even average kind of.

My cousin got the Dark Chocolate and I got their Wintermelon tea. I wouldn't recommend either of it.

What I liked though is their Waffle. Blueberry Cream Cheese to be exact. Will review more flavors soon but yeah definitely try this out if you may.

Their fries is okay and they serve it i this mason jar kind of thing and yeah nice one. I think it's pretty small for the price though. Anyways. That's all I have for you guys. See yah!

Sisters from the Same Mother

Tiramisu Tea October 24, 2013 0

Hola guys! So the other day, my sisters went to the laboratory and fetch me off work. Which is great! And then we decided to have some tea at INFINITEA. Which I was initially against because I really wanted and still want to try that Blueberry Donuts fron Dunkin but then again my sister Mika told me that she checked and the branch near our place doesn't have any stock or something so Infinitea indeed!

I had Tiramisu which in fairness doesn't taste like Tiramisu except that it's somehow salty but okay I'll take it. Although I'm kind of still impressed with the taste because at least it's different. But still confused. Anyways. Mika got Cappuccino Caramel Macchiato which is like sooooo crazy sweet! It's delish but I don't know how someone can drink something that sweet. I haven't tried the glucose load we make our patients drink but I can imagine the sweetness of this Cappuccino drink and glucose load being comparable in sweetness. I think this drink would be perfect with like half the sweetness taken off. Which you could totally do by the way! Well next time! Anyways.

I'm not a fan of Strawberry Oreo but I also liked the Strawberry Oreo Frappe that my sister ordered. In all fairness, it taste like Strawberry Oreo with a little bit of magic to it. Hopefully we would all hang out a lot more like this. My sisters are already growing up and it's all happening too fast! I say we should enjoy the time and just be happy with each other's company. That's all! :)

So Going Back Here

Tea Time July 24, 2013 0

Just a little bit of kwento. I went to SM Manila right after I accompanied my friend to buy a compiled reviewer for the board exam and then I didn't want to go home right away also because I was a little bit panicky yesterday. One thing I should remember is to never ask people how far they have gone with their review. It makes me want to cry so I'm better off alone. Anyway.

Well actually, I went to SM Manila thinking I would try French Bakery's Macaroons but unfortunately, they don't sell it there or they probably run out of it or something but that macaroon tasting didn't happen so I was like roaming around and then searching for a tea/coffee/yogurt place instead and voila! Saw this little tea place beside the cinema. I was like, so going there!! I'm a lucky soul.

So luckily, I brought my notes with me and I decided to study a little bit whilst I was there. And what I like about this place is that when I take a brake or whenever I would look up just to rest my neck, I would see this art piece and then I would feel the determination rushing through my veins. Like, no joke. Maybe all I need is an art like this and post it on my wall as well. Mmm...

I got a Blueberry Yogurt which was awesome! But like any other yogurt drink, it doesn't taste right anymore after many sips so yeah. You know like when it's too bitter already like, on the tongue? No?

Some Good Tea @ Affinitea

Tea Places in Manila July 05, 2013 0

WALL OF GOOD VIBES

I haven't seen this anywhere else yet so I'm assuming that this branch is the only branch. In case you're wondering, Affinitea is somehow near San Sebastian College in Manila. The last time I attempted to try something in this place, it was full so I just went to Chill Out which is literally beside this place. We were supposed to do the same thing but then my cousin noticed the place is empty so we went in right away. MUST BRING POST ITS NEXT TIME.

GOOD STUFF

This is probably the first time my cousin didn't get Caramel Milk Tea. She ordered some honey tea stuff and she didn't like it that much. I guess she's just used to the taste of Caramel Milk Tea that's why she didn't enjoy it. She also said that the bubbles are harder than the usual. BUT I LOVED MINE. Mine is the shorter cup by the way and I ordered some cocoa stuff with rock salt and cheese. The lady was also kind enough to ask me if I want my drink uncovered. I said yes of course. It's easier to mix and savor the drink that way anyways.

It's a relatively big place for a tea shop and it's really nice although I wouldn't say that the place is very ideal to stay at which is typical for tea places by the way. For some reason, it's too noisy inside. I'm not complaining of course. I'm just saying. Can I just say that the staffs were really nice. But still noisy.

MYSELF AND MY COUSIN

Just a side note, we were actually from PRC before we went here. Thanks to MY COUSIN for accompanying me and falling in line for me and stuff like that. If not for her, I wouldn't finish the whole examination application process a little bit earlier. So thank you! :) Can I just say that I was a little bit irritated by that one lady at the processing window because she was like doing hand movements and I was like, what the eff is happening here? And then when I asked her to repeat what she have just said, she was like irritated that I didn't here it the first time. WHAT? WOMAN, YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING SO DON'T YOU DARE ACT LIKE THAT. It's pretty ironic that we have people like that inside the PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION. But I'm good now.

THE AWESOME COUSIN

My Cup of Tea

Tea Time April 11, 2013 0

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! :)

Drama Overload.Food Trip.

Trinoma February 28, 2013 0

So it was another long day for us. What happened was we actually just have to pay our Thesis statistician and asked her some questions related to our Thesis but since we still got time to kill, we killed it. It was actually because she was still talking to her other clients when we got there. KALOKA. Okay what happened was we were actually supposed to meet at Trinoma last Saturday but our mock defense pushed thru a later time so I had to cancel that meeting with the statistician. We actually settled that we will meet at Trinoma and so I thought we will meet there. I was on duty for 24 hours last Sunday and I thought I would have enough time to rest because she also said that we will meet at around 4 pm. What made me panic is when she said that she'll meet me at 2 pm. Which I didn't prepare for. I actually woke up at around 3 so whatever. She then texted that she thought our meeting wouldn't push thru and so she scheduled an appointment with her other clients. What? Also! She texted we would not meet at Trinoma anymore. She said she would meet me at Megamall. Dayum. I called my groupmate and told him about the change of plans but he said he don't know how to go there and so I went kind of alone. Not really alone because I went with my cousin. Okay kind of end of that thesis story.

She actually didn't tell me right away where to find her so I kind of craved for some Happy Lemon. And then we saw the place accidentally so what do we do? We went in and had some tea. And when she replied,

And then she texted and said she's at Coffee Bean and we had to find Coffee Bean as well because you know, Megamall is not a place where we usually hang out. It's kind of far from our place. So yeah we were able to find the place obviously and then we were able to meet her and she was able to explain everything so I'm thankful for that.

And then we had dinner at BonChon which I enjoyed even though I told myself not to eat Chicken and Iced Tea for a while because I had a lot of that lately but life is really like that. There are some things you can't avoid. Haha what?

That's all. :) I'm just so happy that I was able to accomplish everything that I was assigned to accomplish and that I was able to spend quality time with ze cousin which I like. I really think I had more than enough tea that day but whatever. I like tea anyways.

Interesting Tea Cup.

Tea Cup December 03, 2012 2

Awesome tea cup, aye? I don't understand why she has to cover her nose though. Maybe she'll dive or whatever but it's quite obvious that the water is shallow. Ha. The things I think about these days. But anyways, still an awesome cup. :))

Life crisis.

Victor Hugo August 19, 2012 0

There are just too many stuff going on right now. Thesis, internship, UAAP, life, just kidding!! LOL. I'm serious about the first two though. A little bit about the UAAP. Well, it's 6 wins, 1 loss so whatever. Like, can we just win this season? UST? Oh well. Go USTe!

Anyways. I know time flies so fast and I'll get over these problems soon. That thought sort of inspires me and keeps me going. Somehow. BUT THE THING IS...

I'm a little bit worried too. Kind of. I think I've mentioned this before. But that's kind of another story. What I'm worried about is that the fact that I'm thinking that these will be over soon and stuff and to be honest, I'm looking forward to it (like a lot). I'm worried that because I'm so looking forward to the future, I might miss stuff that's happening right now. But then thinking about it, I filter a lot of stuff. Because I'm good like that. LOL. Anyways. It's not that I'm gonna take the easy way out and stuff anyway. I mean, nothing like that. I'm gonna face these problems with all my might and all that. Because I firmly believe that I can do it. With that on mind, of course I can do it. Enough of the problems! Below is a collage of internship stuff and I'm just so happy that I've been through a lot already. More to come!

As of this moment, I am already in hematology section and so far, is it the most toxic post I've been! It's DENGUE season now so yeah, people are having their blood checked and all that stuff. But whatever. :)

Royal Milk Tea. Review.

Tea March 21, 2012 0

Another Bubba Tea. Just want to try how their tea would taste without all ye sweetness of Caramel and just Milk Tea. Which apparently is royal for them. Actually, it's not that great. Didn't enjoy it that much. However, I still managed to finish a large cup. I like the caramel better.

BubbaTeaLiscious tea.

Tea Review March 10, 2012 0

As bad as the photo may be, this is a large Pearl Milk Tea in Caramel. A friend of mine named Kim told me that she prefer Bubba than Simple Line so I wanted to give it a try. I like Simple Line's Caramel so I ordered the same for a comparison. I think that the Caramel flavor is really very obvious in this one. Not that it's too sweet. It's kind of a very strong flavor without being too sweet. However, I actually saw them open a sachet of powdered milk tea which I was not very happy about. At least I once saw that they're drying some leaves for their teas in Simple Line. So I think even though I really like the Caramel infusion, I would still prefer to drink Simple Line, just because they're healthier (in my opinion) and not too much flavoring, which is nice and what I'm after.

Simple Line tea. Review.

Tea March 01, 2012 0

Can I just say that their teas are awesome. I mean, most of it. I wasn't able to snap a proper photo but this is a large Caramel Tapioca that I absolutely love. I actually think that this is my favorite. Although it's really very sweet. If you don't like your milk tea sweet, worry not! They have this customize your tea thing. You can adjust the sweetness of your tea. Ain't that awesome? Yes it is. So if you want to detox a little bit, try this! Or any Simple Line teas for that matter.
