Mamou Too, Rockwell

May 30, 2014

As promised by someone who got promoted, hence this dinner at Mamou Too! After our (Micah and I), back-to-fashion-school, after some hours inside a coffee shop, after waiting for the one in charge, hahaha, we headed to Rockwell and finally tried Mamou Too. Bale, ito yung restaurant na sumagot kay Yabu. Ganito kasi yun:

Restaurant 1: Yabu
Restaurant 2: Mamou too..

Ay ka-sweet nila! If you didn't get that, you are not welcome to read the rest of this post hahaha! Sige na tawa na please. Thank you! ;D

I have long wanted to try it here and because someone said he's gonna give some treat because of his promotion, ta-daaaa my mind grabbed that opportunity and suggested this restaurant. As we arrived, it was actually jam-packed. Their dishes must be really that good. Mamou is best known for their steaks but we are yet to go back to try them.

Lorenzo's Truffle Cream Php375

Beer Battered Fish with Malt Vinegar Php295
My top choice among these we ordered

Roast Pork and Chicken Php525

(Cr: Micah for this snap)
Yay. Since fashion school started, we were usually together on a Saturday, but this is the first time we three were snapped in a photo

Ganda ng quality ng photos no? Hahaha! Added to these we also ordered Pecan Pie with Schlagsahne (Php185) for dessert which tastes good but too sweet. 

Yes, these two college friends had some catching up too and they had some tag team against me. Jk. It was another sumptuous dinner, masarap na, mas pinasarap pa ng libre ni Boss Amo. Thank you, Luke! Sa uulitin!! Hihi!

Crisostomo, ATC

April 20, 2014

Two months ago hahaha! Trying to ease all the backlog and be back on track. Oh well papel gusto ko tuloy ng bagel. Ang labo. So yeah, Mama turned 55 two months ago, on an Easter Sunday so it's like a double celebration! We always rejoice on the commemoration of the day The One Way rose again. :)  

Anyway here's Mama with the goodies she got from us. That Conti's choco mousse is a hit. Yummmm. 

Mama with her favorite godchild. O ayan terno pa sila on her birthday.

Yup, biglang lumaki si Otep in a span of an hour hahaha! I kid. That's my brother's best/friend.. I'm not sure. Boyfriend? I kid again.

And of course, Clarete's adopted eldest, Boss Amo Luke is present. Joke. Boyfriend ko po siya. 

One happy extended family!! We had dinner at Crisostomo's in ATC. We enjoyed every dish we ordered. It's a tad expensive but worth a try. I must say there was always that twist on the typical Filipino dish. I also liked how they creatively named the dishes.

Adobo Damaso Php345
It's my kind of adobo, the right mix of sweet, salt and sour. 

Simon Php 485

Maria Elena Php225
It's kangkong and lechon kawali chips. It's a hit that night!

Ensaladang Erehe Php195
Every ensalada is good to my palate. 

Iday Php180
Suman with Chocolate Fondue. We tried this as per a friend's high recommendation and it didn't fail!!

We also had a photo op as soon as we got home. My Mom nowadays "Picture-an mo ko anak... Picture-an mo 'to anak. Anak picture picture..." Hahaha oh social media what have you done??! Patol naman ako hahaha! And this is how we celebrated.

Father's Day 2014

Soga Miga

June 15, 2014

This year's Father's Day Celebration goes Korean - our first time to dine in an "authentic" Korean restaurant as per my sister's request who have been somehow frequenting a Korean restaurant somewhere. Good thing there's one in Molito complex. It was yet again a good "first". So ganun pala pag Korean restaurant ang daming side dishes. Hahaha! Mama and Papa were so cute asking our server 'panu ba'to? para san 'to?' Hahaha!

Father's Day Cake

I enjoyed the leaves and the veggies and the fruit-veggies the most. I think, just like in Yabu and Saboten, I can already live with the side dishes. Ang dami pa pag Korean hahaha! For Korean food lovers out there, you might want to try it out here. It's a tad expensive than the usual as per my sister, but she did enjoy every dish we ordered. :) 

Anyway, to my father who tries to make a way and work around things ever since the lowest days of our family, thank you. Thank you for being a father to the best that you can and not leaving us. We love you!!

Showcasing one of my favorite brands here in my blog which happens to be a favorite fruit as well haha, Mango!! This is a tad late because this stylebook was released last May. I like these dresses hence posting it here for future reference. There would really be events when one would need to “dress up” and this collection isn’t anything similar to cocktail. It’s all about maxi and pleats and prints. Like like it!!

How to Spend a 'Holiday"

0

While most of the nation’s spending this “Independence Day”, I was at work doing well my tasks. Anyway, just to compensate it, had my LOOONG OVERDUE massage… It was our first time to try Kartini Spa, in ATC. After having a rather early dinner of our favorite General’s Chicken at Recipes, we pampered our bodies through this surprisingly really soothing massage. It was a good choice! We might even go back for their packages. :)

Yabu then to this very place we used to frequent a few years back. Did I just say a few years back?? Yep. It's indeed a reunion with Ping. It took time. But we are both glad that we have shoved everything aside and talked endlessly over our chosen Bo's Coffee drinks just like the good ol' days.

Passion Manila 2014

0

March 28, 2014 -- For the third time, even though age-wise I already do not belong to the “young people”, I still attended this year’s Passion Manila event. I could still recall the delightful feeling of being in this event way back in 2008, their first time to be here and was held at the former “Ultra”. They moved into a bigger location, The Big Dome, in 2010, and yes I still attended it. This year they still held it at the Big Dome but on two nights. My heart prays that as the “audience” grew bigger so is the ripple effect of letting people most especially more young people know the loving and saving grace of God, of making Him known. Well, the event in itself is FOR HIS RENOWN.

I remember the first time around it was just me and my sister. We regretted the fact that it was only the both of us who were able to experience such life-changing event. For 2010, I made it sure that our church’s young people will be able to attend it. And because they already experienced it back in 2010, they made it sure that they would be present on this year’s event. So here we are together and united for this event.

with my sister and Luke

When you are in the presence of God, everything is just better. It feels so utterly good. During the Passion Manila 2014, the Big Dome was transformed into a big dance floor wherein the people are joyfully singing, swaying and dancing for Him. When you know that you have a “Prodigal Father”, you will rejoice! I especially liked the message that night. I held onto it. God provided us every single thing that we need, and, what maybe beyond our knowledge, so much more. We are His sons and daughters. Sometimes, all we need to do is ask. We have to be aware of our position as God’s children! So powerful!!! Now I am very well aware how extravagant my Father is. I will not limit Him when I pray. Grabe!!

The Passion268 is greatly blessed and anointed as their songs, the sharing of the Word, the visuals and lighting, once again did not fail in stirring our hearts to praise and worship. We were lead into the heart of worship and prayer. We were lead into a powerful night of adoration to the Almighty. Sarap sa feeling!!

Mareng Emily flew all the way from Davao for the second time just to witness this event

It was such a magnificent night. All to Him. All glory to Him.
