Food Trip: Ribs and Fish

This wasn't my first time to try Rub Ribs & BBQ so I was more than happy to have lunch there when my officemates planned to eat out last Friday. I was excited to order Fish and Chips for myself, because I loved my friend's order the first time we went. On my next trip, though, maybe I'll split it with someone and order something else (baby back ribs!) so I don't get suya. But I'll definitely come back to try the Coffee Crème Brûlée!

Foodie Finds: All Things Pretty

I met up with my friend Teresa (we share the same birthday!) after almost 2 years of not seeing each other. She told me about this place and she thought it was something I'd like to check out.

It's located at Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club, a place I used to frequent as a kid since my dad used to play golf there. I was surprised to see how much it had changed!

Check out that gorgeous fridge! I want one for my future home. It matches my KitchenAid perfectly.

The staff were all donning Cath Kidston aprons and the tables outside had CK table cloth, too. I loved how everything looked so... shabby chic, for lack of a better description.

Pink, blue, and white all over. They even had a picket fence around the restaurant. Super cute!

While waiting for our orders, we were served popcorn, pretzels, and marshmallows in a pretty pink polka dot mug.

I ordered the Potato Chip Fried Chicken which came with heart-shaped rice. Aww. It was a safe order. I mean, how can you get fried chicken wrong, right? But the gravy was so buttery good that I wiped the sauce dish clean.

We ended the meal with these candies from our childhood. This still remains as one of my favorites!

Wishful Wednesday
September has been a busy, busy month. I'm hoping to breeze through this week and enjoy my quick escape to the beach this weekend.

Last Friday Night

My kind of Friday night involves greasy food, milk tea, and sweet endings.










Not in picture: my glorious La Delice, after declaring I wanted something salty. Hahaha!

What was your Friday night like?

Gratitude List

There are tons to be thankful for these days. And I've missed making lists like this!




♥ Shopping with fake money. I got the top I've been looking at for months plus a pretty new dress for technically just P45.
♥ Leaving my camera at home and dancing the night away. I usually bring my cam to concerts so I can take photos and videos, but this time around, I decided to just leave it. I didn't realize how much fun it is to be in nosebleed seats. We had our own party there.
♥ Getting free tickets and giving them away. It turns out I was given tickets to Cirque's show last night, but I gave them to Mimi and Dyan. (: Spreading the magic!
♥ Catching a pilot. Saw the first episode of Teen Wolf yesterday. My friends have been telling me to watch it already, but I haven't had a chance to. Now, I can catch it on TV. It premieres on July 17, 9pm on AXN.
♥ Chocolate! I got myself another Cuadro from Risa Fine Bespoke Chocolates. I've gotten Tiramissyou twice already and I'm thinking of getting assorted truffles next. I also got a pack of KitKat Mint from the grocery the other day. They are delicious!
♥ Letters. Got a surprise from Em through my brother. Loved the retro stickers and stationery!
♥ Things from my mom. Funny how almost 3 and a half years have passed and she still continues to "give" me stuff. I found a black sheer maxi skirt in my closet with tags that have yellowed from age. My non-fancy jewelry are all courtesy of her. Bringing them out reminds me of our afternoons together, visiting the Asedillos and picking out charms for my bracelet.

What about you? What are you grateful for these days?

A Weekly Habit I Want to Start

Music Monday

Kylie Minogue on Tuesday! Who cares if we got cheap seats? It's going to be so much fun! I hope she sings "Did It Again," which is one of my favorite music videos ever.

Tasty Tuesday

Don Juan's garlic chili sauce goes great with everything!!! And this coming from me, the girl with the lowest tolerance for spicy things! I've successfully converted 7 of my officemates and they're converting more people. Haha.

I finally tried Wicked Kitchen with my former officemates. I wanted to try the Beef and Beer Pie, but they said it would take 20-30 minutes (what!?). It was already 9pm and I was hungry for 2 hours already. Decided to order the Crispy Bagoong Rice, which thankfully did not disappoint! Also tried their take on a pizookie: Gluttony, a giant chocolate chip cookie topped with a scoop of Mantecado ice cream. It was pretty good, but I think I can make it on my own. It just made me miss my oven more! ):

Wishful Wednesday
When I was in high school, my friends and I took a summer workshop at Repertory Philippines. Our showcase was Pippin inspired by Cirque du Soleil. Our teachers Michael Williams and Rem Zemora showed us a recording of a show and ever since, I've always dreamed of catching a show live. Thanks to my friends Mikko and Binky (they both watched LOVE in Las Vegas) for indulging me. We're catching it this Friday! Despite the "cheap seats" (those tickets don't come cheap, eep), I am so excited!

Thoughtful Thursday

I have weirdly-shaped lips (they're pointy on top) so I have a hard time wearing lipstick. Been wanting to find a shade of red I can wear and Tatin tried one on me. She says I should look for a warm red. Mimi on the other hand looks fabulous in any red shade! I'm jealous.

Fashion Friday

I want a pair of these Tassel Flats from Posh Pocket Shoes. O: Should I get them?

Bottomless Pits: A Day of Endless Eating

I'm not a very fit person. I like to eat and I will eat anything and everything if I want to. I exercise only so I have an excuse to indulge in all my favorite food. That said, I don't think I can ever go on a diet. O:

So when my friends Koko, Mimi, and Stephie said they were heading to Yummy Eats, I invited myself. Haha! It was going to be a day filled with good food and who in their right mind would pass up the opportunity? Definitely not me.

Personally, if I could, I'd have both!

Mochiko mochi with Azuki and Sesame Seed ice cream — they took our photo with their cute Instax and posted it on a wall. Azuki is ♥!

Loved Simply Pie!'s setup. (:

There were so many food stalls, we didn't know what to try first. But this guy just stood in our way and practically shoved a spoon of ice cream into our mouths. But I'm glad he did because Holly's Milk's Salted Caramel ice cream was A+! I was too full to grab myself a cup before heading out, but I'd gladly buy a gallon or two! The tent was divided into Sweet Street and Savory Street. You can probably guess what street we traversed first. Hehehe.

Alessa of Pino by Pipino. I liked their vegan chocolate cookies!

I liked most of what we tried and bought some of Bean & Baker's Orange Vanilla Biscotti to take home. (: I had some with coffee this morning for my second breakfast (haha!). I would've loved to try the Tiramissyou from Risa's Chocolates but it was going to be a long day and I knew for sure it would just melt in the car. I really liked the truffles with Orange and Cerveza Negra.




Koko got us Balamban Liempo and Big Daddy's Chicken (the plum-flavored one was yum-o!) for "lunch" as if all our sampling wasn't enough. I would've gotten myself a bottle of the herbed cream cheese dip (so good!) but I was scared I wouldn't have enough money for the rest of the day. Oh, to be non-rich. Silver lining: won Alfajores from Kusina Teatro in the raffle! Thumbs up all around to the staff of Yummy for a super successful event! Hope there's another one next year! (:

Headed to Heima in LRI Design Plaza so Koko could check out the new collection. The tote I wanted was a bit too pricey for me so I split this button pin set with Mim and Koko. I got the "What's Up?" pin with a bow to match the "What's Up?" pin with a mustache that Mimi gave me. (:

And as if we hadn't had enough food, we checked out The Room Upstairs that was in the same building as Heima. We split the Assorted Bruschetta, Tuyo Pasta, and Vigan Longganisa sandwich among us. They tried the lemon grass iced tea while I had an iced caramel macchiato (so good!).

We loved their salt and pepper box!

We checked out the SuperSale bazaar at Rockwell after and guess what, the eating wasn't over yet! We parked our butts in one of our fave hangouts, Chili's! Split an order of Chicken Crispers (our fave!) with Mim and bottomless chips with cheese and beef.

Surprisingly, I was actually not full at the end of the day! Can you believe it?! But I was really sleepy. Haha! We were kidding that if the world were really to end that day, at least we'd die happy and full. (:
