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! 

Banapple SM North

Image
Hola guys! I just wanna share! On Christmas day, after we attended a mass at Our Lady of Hope and then we went to SM North and had lunch. Momma orderin' Mari Mika and Mama yummy cakes! :) I don't know if it's just me but their Pasta Verde was dry as eff. I finished it though because it's in my nature to finish food but yeah. Also! Well my sister, grandma, and mom ordered a rice meal which comes with a corn side dish and it was sour! Spoiled obvi so my mom informed the waitress and she was just like "talaga ma'am" and I was like, WTF? Ano to chikahan lang? It was not a good experience but thanks to the cakes that somehow brightened my mood. 

French Baker's Macarons Review

Image
I have told you before that I was a little bit disappointed on Macarons that I have so far tasted. Well actually, I have only tasted one and not impressive at all. And I was like, I'm not gonna give up on these colorful babies and would give it another try. Here's my verdict for the second attempt. I got these Macarons from another familiar bakery in town. French Bakery. I have mixed feelings about this store actually. I mean, it's just that I don't really like breads all that much and the one I've tasted from this store didn't really impress me all that much so yeah. And the reviews I've seen listed Tous Les Jours' macarons above this one so I was like, there can't be anything worse than that! LOL. Just kidding. But really though thinking about it now, their macarons were pretty bad.  You know me! These details just made me wanna cry! LOL. But I must say that their illustration is very well made. Love! I hope to live on tha...

Sisters from the Same Mother

Image
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. ...

Chill Sunday

Image
This was last Sunday when my bestfriend, cousin, and I decided to attend the mass and have a little chit-chat about life. Like we always do. Last Sunday was a little different as well because we decided to visit a wake. One of the highschool teachers in our school passed away so we decided to view him before he's not physically with us anymore. It's sad because I was talking about my bestfriend on visiting him at the hospital but it all happened too fast. He was actually not my teacher but still. He was part of the school I was in so yeah. And then we decided to have coffee. The same place my cousin and I visited before. It's actually because Infinitea's full of people again.  And I don't know if I have told you this but my bestfriend and I used to regularly go to this place so it's like revisiting and reminiscing our highschool life. Mine is in the middle and it's a Chocomint flavored one and one thing you have to know...

Have a Break They Say.

Image
Hi guys! I have made it clear that examination days are over and I just want to share these pictures because they somehow helped me relax, study, or whatever. It helped me relax the most part. I figured that in my case, it's pretty hard to study anywhere. So if I wouldn't try, I wouldn't be able to and I'm just happy that when I tried to, it helped me relax at least. You know, maybe MED is not for me. Or maybe it is. I don't know.  Whole Meal BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE I didn't really like the cheesecake and yeah I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone but the drink was kind of a delight so definitely try that one out. I like how there's actually no one in my side of the shop but later on people came already and yeah.  CHATIME Delish! But then my cousin was deceived by the lady to add on some stuff and the bad part is that she decided to put those in my drink. Well I used to really like coffee jelly well in fact that's proba...

So Going Back Here

Image
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 u...

Some Good Tea @ Affinitea

Image
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 sa...

Tea Time with Cathy and Mikie

Image
I truly believe this should be a legit segment on my blog. But sometimes, I get disappointed by teas so I don't get inspired to continue with that kind of posts but now, I think that no matter how much I loathe (big word) the teas that I've tried, I must share it with you. That's all! Let's go!! Okay this one we tried because we don't have a choice. I guess we just wanted to have a tea and somehow rest our feet from our tiring UST trip . So that happened. Anyways. I kind of regret we didn't drink at ChaTime because wala lang. Anyways.  I actually didn't enjoy the tea but the taste is actually interesting. I actually  don't remember it's exact flavor but if I can remember it right, it's something like green tea yogurt. Or some macha yogurt. Okay I've checked it now. It's Yogurt Green Tea. I kind of regret picking that flavor because firstly, I wasn't able to taste the green tea. Secondly, I wasn't able to ...

How Sweet

Image
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...
