Balsa sa Niugan

Image
Recently, we went to this place called Balsa sa Niugan to try their sisig because  I have heard so many great things about this place. Luckily, it's only like 30 minutes away from where I live.  Lolo and my brother The place is quite chill and uncrowded. They were having a wedding when we went so we were kind of secluded.  My kuya requested for the noodles. I didn't eat much of it because we already ordered so much food so I can't really review it for you. The sisig though was great so I can see why people are raving about it.  The chicken was okay but the sinigang na bangus belly was very good. Also, if you're at it, try their crispy pata. Because. The price was okay as well. For 5 dishes, 7 cups of garlic rice, and 4 drinks, our bill was only at 1600+ php.  The view was also beautiful. We had our moments.  I'm glad we were able to try their food.  Family I went with my bestfriend as well and you know, she's like a family member I never had. The golde...

Star City with babies

The guardians. Since it's been a while since I got together with my cousins, I decided to gather the kids and go to an amusement park with the eldest "cousin" and Bestie. My fave. I don't know if I shared this but you know in this blog yet but Peter Pan is actually my ish.  Then we queued for the classic giant sway boat and yeah. My sisters are actually okay with rides. Our two teenage cousins though. Hahaha they were cute.   To sort of calm the situation, we decided to walk thru this maze first before riding any big rides.  I think this might be one of the few times I was able to hang out with my cousins (left side) because usually when our families get together, we usually just eat and often times we dine separately, you know. Like, different tables and stuff so even though I didn't get to hang out with 3 other cousins, 2 of them being extremely young to hang-out and 1 celebrating his mum's birthday, this day is phenomenal.  Pirate stuff is also my ish. I wi...

Retrying J.Co Donuts

Image
I have mentioned before that I don't really  go gaga over J.Co. But I don't hate it, you know. If it's within my reach, I'd gladly make myself a cup of coffee and munch on!  I don't know what's the situation now with this but 2 years ago, you couldn't have this doughnuts if you wouldn't fall in line for maybe like 15 minutes minimum. Did the hype subside?  Blueberry More I chose these two flavors because I remember liking them before. Or did I?  Alcapone This almond flavored one is probably what I enjoyed more. Or I don't know. Not sure of everything lately. Ciao! 

Emotions. A lot of it.

I'm already 23 years old. Young to have experienced it all, yes. But old enough to know things even when it doesn't necessarily directly apply to me.  Blogged: April 7, 2012  Well, being left alone as to say. Let me tell you a story. I used to have this Vietnamese friend from Sydney, Australia. I met him when I decided I wanted to study French (I still do) and I would be willingly teach that person English/Japanese/Filipino. Well this guy wanted to learn Japanese. He didn't teach me French because he only knows English but he was actually awesome. He's very down to earth, kind, bubbly, sweet, and everything you could ask for. We used to talk everyday, every effing night for let's say 2 years. I actually ended up not teaching him the language at all haha. We talk about the most random stuff. Like, sometimes he would call and not say anything at all. And we're fine with that. Sweet silence. Most of the time he would say sweet things, we listen to his or my playlis...

A day in Cavite and MORE

Image
My auntie summoned us to her lovely home so from Manila, we travelled for like an hour (I think) to Cavite. My first boodle fight. I was actually informed about this ahead so I was really looking forward to this. We had stuffed squid, pork chop, Tilapia, and kare-kare. Man, I was really full.  Nailed it! At night, we went to a place called Evia Mall where they have this lighted things set-up. We were there for two things. Coffee and pictures.  Younger cousin, myself, and eldest.  After all the pictures, it's time to have a drink and guess what? Hanggang labas ang pila! Crazy. It must have been national coffee day that day or something. Like, it was my first time to see a line that long. I never in my life queued that long. Grabe lang. Anyways.   Even though a little skeptical, I still tried this. To be honest, even though I knew I wouldn't like it because it's peppermint and I knew it's gonna taste like toothpaste and stuff, I'm kinda into it. I don't know but i...

Suzuki Beach Club (Subic Bay)

Image
stop over It has been a tradition of our family to go to the beach when it's dad's birthday. This time is no exception. We went to Olongapo. Actually, we don't really go very far from the city. Years and years, we've been alternating Bataan, Batangas, Subic, and Olongapo.  We went to a resort called Suzuki. I think the owner is dad's friend of some sort. I'm not sure. Anyways, the view when we arrived blew me away.  Just look at that. Very nice. Not the best beach but the view of the mountains will surely sweep you off your feet.  They only have one pool there and it's more of like for kids but it did it for us. Also, I have no idea why they opted for Shrek when it's irrelevant. For me at least. Mika and papa just chilling. The landscape isn't anything grand but it's well maintained so that's okay too.  The sunset was a show. I mean, I saw breath-taking sunsets somewhere and this is not near any of those but you know, sunset is sunset, can...
