David Cook's January 2009 Concert in P.I.

Got an early morning text from my Bestfriend announcing that David Cook will have a Concert here in the Philippines next year January. She's been going gaga over David Cook since American Idol 7 started. Of course I promised to go with her to the Concert. What are bestfriends for? hehe!

The Best in Angeles

We Kapampangans are well known to be good cooks. We love good food and eating out and trying new restaurants. Maybe that's why we tend to be meticulous when it comes to the taste and flavors of the food we eat. My friends have been telling me to write a book about the best food finds here in Angeles City.
Here's my list... Try them out and tell me if I'm right hehe!

Tagaytay Finds

The whole Family just got back from Tagaytay. We were supposed to go to beach first at Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, but we got lost and ended up in Anilao. But then we need to ride a boat to get to the beach. The weather was quite bad and the waves were strong,so, we didn't risk ourselves. We went back and just headed to Tagaytay. We stopped by Sonya's Garden and bought yummy chocolate muffins, Pan de Coco, Hispanish Bread, Otap and Ogoy-Ogoy. Of course, a trip to Sonya's Garden won't be complete without having a pictorial at their beautiful Garden.
We stayed at Casa de Carlos and spent the whole day there since it was raining and Xianelle got sick. We had dinner at their restaurant (Ristorante de Carlo)and had a taste of their sumptuous Spanish Cuisine whipped up by the owner himself.
Although were not able to follow our supposed plans, we all enjoyed the trip. Just being together, made the trip a whole lot of fun!

Palawan - Philippines' Last Frontier

Let me share with you pictures taken at our Trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan last June 29-July.... Saya!

Pusoy Dos Fever!

Pusoy Dos- a very popular poker-like card game played in the Philippines. I remember learning the game at the UP Aguman Tambayan in UP Diliman when I was in college, playing the game during breaks before getting to our next class. At home, we've been having Pusoy Dos Fever eversince Christian (my brother) and his Family started their annual vacation. Our nights in Palawan (July 29-July 2) were spent playing the game. Last Sunday, we checked in at a villa in Mimosa, we ended up playing the game until 3:00 a.m.! Too much Pusoy, too little sleep... hehe!

My Baby Pacquing!

My Baby Pacquing was named after, obviously, Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao. I got him, November 30, 2006, the day my Baby BATA (named after Efren "Bata" Reyes) died. He's a Yorkshire Terrier just like Bata and My dad & mom bought him from Mrs. Mananquil at Villa Teresa. I was so heartbroken over the death Bata that i decided to not have a pet for a while. But then my Family knew that buying me another would make it easier for me to move on after the death of Bata. Even Bata's Vet, Dra. Lani, volunteered to give me her Chihuahua, Squishy, who ended up with my ate.
I knew that no other dog would ever replace Bata, but the moment i saw Pacquing, I was so excited to take care of him. He was so cute and so fragile. He's so sweet, he loves putting his chin on my lap and sleep. Having him makes me happy. He brings so much joy to my life... My Baby...

Welcome to my world!

My First Post... I'm not really good at telling stories esp. about myself, but I'm going to try hehe!
I will be sharing most of my out of town (and out of the country (cross your fingers!)) trips, reviews of restaurants/coffee shops in Angeles City, books, movies, tv shows etc. here. I hope I'd find time and not run out of ideas... Welcome!
