Christmas.. =)

Thursday last week, Amanda Agnes and Sari Lazaro organized a fashion show for their production class. It was one night of fashion in Morocco. Designer students from our school, LaSalle College International, showed their stuff: Athena Tandoc, Finela Gregorio, Engie Garcia, Marge Regala, Kristine Bautista, Miki Hahn, Sari Lazaro and me. It was a great [...]

Celebrated our parents’ anniversary a few days ago with a dinner buffet at the Spiral restaurant in Hotel Sofitel. It was one of the best buffets I’ve ever tried. It could even be the best. It was ‘international’ in every way, from the diners to the cuisine served up: Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French and [...]

No this entry won’t be about some obscure African tribe. Zuni is a new Mediterranean restaurant at Greenbelt 5. We tried it out for New Year’s eve dinner. The chef is the same one from Le Souffle, specialising in Mediterranean/Italian cuisine. We took a chance and went for the 7-course dinner menu they’ve prepared for [...]

One day I craved for something sweet. I found some soft graham crackers (I didn’t close the box properly). They were no good for making s’mores but edible and I still wanted s’mores so here’s what I came up with.

Ingredients: Soft graham crackers, marshmallow creme, chocolate syrup and french toast batter. To make the batter, [...]

(If you haven’t had a meal yet, I apologise for this..)
What happens when I get a new set of cooking utensils? Why, this, of course. Plus some happy family members. =)

The culprits who started it all.
 

My attempt at French Crullers.

I couldn’t resist.. Lol.

With the icing. These tasted like doughnuts.

Sugarfalls.

It deserves [...]

..to a lot of things this weekend. :s
But before that, some random updates, photos and thoughts.. For instance, how come I never knew that the Fashion Institute of the Philippines was just at the One San Miguel Bldg. in Ortigas when I lived there for a year? I’m thinking of taking lessons there now. While [...]

I was out all day with hun. We went to the Mall of Asia to see Spiderman 3 in the iMax. There was a cosplay event there too I think because we kept seeing Sasukes, Narutos, Final Fantasy characters and bloody *literally* people milling around the place. Anyway, when we got to the [...]

First of all, happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there =)
Had lunch yesterday at Cafe Provencal at Shang Mall.. They have lots of new items on their menu.. and they have tortellini! That was a pleasant surprise since I was a bit put out that Trattoria Gourmet (another restaurant in the same mall) [...]

I played around with my sister after she downed one of my cupcakes in record time. This is one of them:

That’s my sister, Nikki.. or her mouth, to be specific. Photography and styling and everything else by me.. lol.

I’m one of the final 14 in the competition Project Designer Cycle 6 over at DeviantART! It’s a mock up version of Project Runway show on tv. Instead of having to sew the clothes, we will just have to design them. Here’s the link to the competition: Click Me. I’ve just been assigned my very [...]

… or so I thought. Last Thursday night, my boyfriend and I sort of broke up.. online. The next day, just before going to my classes, he told me to wait for him, that he has just finished packing and is on his way to the airport. I wasn’t sure what will happen when he [...]

I went to the Banglos Sculptors’ gallery exhibit this afternoon. It was a showcase of sculptures made from the hundreds of driftwood pieces that ravaged Barangay Banglos in General Nakar, Quezon when this small fishing village was hit by a succession of typhoons that also devastated most of the Luzon island of the Philippines last [...]

Haven’t been updating this.. I’ve been busy with school stuff. Paulie came over last Saturday and had lunch. Invited me to the Ftv party at the Loft.. But I wasn’t feeling it so I didn’t go.
Monday, had lunch with Lawi at Bigby’s.

Yummy =D
I want to go home.

25th October, Wednesday last week.

Went to Tita Malou’s with mom to return this architecture book. It was sad to see those trees that were uprooted. I missed the lush foliage that’s usually there when we go to Sta. Elena. Take note: Acacia trees are NOT very good survivors of storms, palm trees are. The african [...]

One of the best restaurants.. no.. set of dishes I’ve ever had- Alavars de Cebu foodies.
I was really feeling crappy, though it doens’t show, because I had t spend my 21st here. Crap crap crap. Anyway, thanks guys for cheering me up a lil. I’m so full of food and sick of it, I [...]

People keep coming and going. It’s sad when they go, I prefer the coming part anytime. Father Monj held mass at home earlier this night for my aunt and lil cousin’s safe flight to San Diego. And we ate out afterwards. I really am going to miss Joaquin. He’s so cute and sweet and expressive [...]

I think babies with droplet eyes are the cutest ever. I’m not toally sure it’s really called droplet eyes but what I mean is, if you look at the shape, they look like drops of water.. one side round, other side pointy. Take Jarius here for example. It’s his 1st birthday today and I went [...]

Parents and my sister came over for the week. So most of the last week night’s I’ve been sleeping over at the hotel. It was a really nice place.. It sort of sticks out like a sore thumb, though. I mean, when we go there, we pass by nothing nice at all. Everything we see [...]

I shouldn’t have been surprised, yet I am. Our prof was no-show again today. This is really getting to my nerves. I mean how hard is it to sms at least one of her students to say that she is at the hospital and cannot show up for class? Just one. She doesn’t have to [...]

I don’t know why but it does, to me.

My midnight snack last night. I love avocados all chopped up with thick condensed and evaporated milk and lots and lots of sugar. I leave it sitting in that sweetness for a bit so it can absorb it and then chill it and then I can eat [...]

A pretty uneventful day.. Started off with me trying to submit my finished wire sculpture which I forgot to take a picture of *kicks self*. In all honesty, I love it. I think it’s awesome. I made a really nice to-scale tulle tutu for it, i sewed it myself and used cream silk ribbons and [...]

I’ve been wanting something sweet the whole day and there wasn’t really chance to get anything suitable enough for my needs. Woke up early and went to the mall with my Aunt to get stuff for the shop like ribbons and tassles and rhinestones and beads and fabric. We also had to have some photos [...]
