Dating in a Cafè

Quality time is one of my love language. I love talking, listening, and do creative things with people I dearly care. Cafè is one of my favorite spot catching up with my friends. Why? Here are my few of the many reasons.

1. Cafè has a good ambiance (well, most of them).
2. They play classic jazz music or if not the latest good-to-ears songs.
3. Free wifi.
4. Light meals and drinks.
5. Employees are very approachable.

I’m not saying every Cafe has the same criteria but most of the time its the first place in the minds of particular people: business people, students, singles, couples, children, family or even the old people. Why? Maybe because of same reason I mentioned above. Not only the good quality of the food but also it provides good environment. Even it takes you a long time of stay , employees will assist and accommodate your needs.

Good place to have a date also. Because of the environment, if your not fond of walking (which I also love) you can stay with each other even talking with nonsense topics repeatedly. But of course in a cafè, it only gives us a temporary relaxing solitude moment. Whenever we feel like things get out of control at work or home, you go to a place where you wanted to relax and vent all the strained thoughts of dirt and anger. So that’s it. Oh by the way, Starbucks is still one of my favorite hangout place of dating people close to my heart. 🙂

Food hunter

For the past few weeks, my friends noticed I always have new posts on FB and it made me realized at I’m a food hunter. What I can’t resist keeps on coming my way. Instead of choosing diet I end up eating a lot with no limits (well, case to case basis). Yet, as much as I wanted to eat my favorites and give my taste buds an experience of my food choice, I need to be on a “budget” wise gear.

I have friends with different personalities from different places. when I’m with them, I need to be sure that I have money on me because some of them would prefer to choose clean street foods and some would prefer Asian prestigious restaurants.

Actually, I learned to spend money for food from my father. I was a quick buyer of clothes back then but I learned that it will not help my stomach satisfy and it can wait. So from then on, I started buying sweets, rich in carbs and tons of calories a day whenever I’m off to grocery. but it also took me to be wise on eating foods especially discarding junk foods and loving green foods instead.

So here are some of my own desserts made by me….

this is my own “S” – spaghetti macaroni for my lunch. Whenever I don’t feel rice, I would replace it to pasta instead.

then right after my pasta, I tried to make strawberry-corn jelly. My first time on making a gelatin…. Well it still tasted gelatin though..

The new chocolate launched in Philippines. Wrapped like the chocolate Galaxy from Jeddah, KSA. I love Milk Chocolate. I bought this before I begin my duty … perfect for breakfast and to ER Nurse…

The other day when my sister went back home from Manila, we had the chance to catch up and bond together. I love Mcdonald and their McCafé is just an affordable delicious delights. I love their Frappucinos…. 🙂

Like I’ve said earlier, I would replace rice to pasta 🙂 So I made my own Shrimp Pasta. Well, unfortunately, the planned menu failed. Coz its supposedly Misûa Shrimp…. But well, my brothers liked it!

So I hope you like my favorites and please do follow my blog … it wont hurt anyone! Thank you!

My productive day

I was scheduled for passport renewal today and last night I prepared all my documents. I was so excited for the day to come. This I’ve been waiting for! Renewal of passport…

So I’m gonna share to you my productive day while maximizing my time with good people.

First, I have to wake up at 6:30 am to prepare myself, I had to wear suitable attire since I’m going to a government office. I haven’t printed my application form yet that time so I had to go to computer shop to print it. Then I was estimating my time left if I still have enough time to get my NBI clearance. So I rode Muntinlupa jeep to drop me by near the NBI place yet when I saw the releasing line was so long I changed my mind not to get it today. Unfortunately, when I was too agitated to ride a bus going to Megamall, the bus was still waiting for passengers to fill the empty chairs, another 15 minutes of waiting. Then after that long 15 minutes of waiting, I’ve decided to ride MRT instead of bus since I only have 30 minutes left to be exact with my appointed schedule time. When I got there, at first I didn’t recognize where the mall was so I started asking directions, when I got to the NOT MAIN ENTRANCE, there was a long line waiting for opening – JOB FAIR event. So I asked again and looked for another entrance, and finally I got to an entrance where there was no line, sadly, they were still waiting for the 10:00am opening time. I was already anxious that time because I was 5 minutes late. When they opened it I hurriedly went to elevator and saw the Department of Foreign Affairs! I sighed and felt grateful that time. I realized that they were not strict but 30 minutes before your appointed time I guess is really important, my real schedule is 10:30 am so I have to be there by 10:00am.

So here’s a peek of the DFA Megamall.

first, you have to present your application form to the security guard then present it to whoever is in charge scanning the form. Then get a number, choose your purpose, whether RENEWAL PASSPORT, New Applicants or etc.

Second you have to sit and wait for your number to be call,

Third, while waiting prepare all your requirements. They are very good entertainers. There’s this guy announcing very graciously what we have and needed to do.

Fourth, you have to hold on to the number you took from the machine because it will serve as your number till the end of the process. Then after the payment, they will encode your detailed information and take a picture of you. Very accessible isn’t it? Even though there were some problems at first I was still entertained.

Fifth, if you request an express process of your passport, you have to prepare P120 for delivery at COURIER, and it will be delivered after the day released. And there you have it! Well done, Megamall DFA!

Well, my productive day didn’t end up there. Since it was again my first time to visit Megamall, last time it was still a Megamall, now it has extension and too big to mention! Since I was already there, I had to enjoy sight-seeing and window shopping. At around 11:30am, first thing came to my mind was CUPCAKES! :)) I have to look for cupcakes… Something new and refined! 🙂 But before that, I saw this intriguing stall of flowers, not artificial nor real flowers but EDIBLE flowers, they have free taste and it looks not tasty because of its cute little rose design (laughs). It tastes PASTILLAS (I don’t know its english but it’s made of powdered milk and condensed milk)

After that, I was amazed to see a very beautiful, girly, pinkish, creative stall with cupcakes on its glass table with a very cute sales lady wearing its pink apron. I was so intrigued with its taste and the owner, without hesitation I asked when they started and if they have contacts, actually the lady there initiative gave their calling card, maybe she saw in my eyes how interested I am when I asked if they have baking lessons. I tried their two best seller cupcakes, according to the lady, the Buttercup and the Apple Pie, I love the APPLE PIE! Delicious indeed! 🙂 Buttercup? So-so only 🙂 So here’s the picture of their stall at Megamall 2F Building B..

After appetizer I ate lunch at PAOTSIN, haha! Cost cutting for the last minute 🙂 I chose Shark’s fin…

Done at Megamall. Right after off to Alabang to talk to my leader, Doc Becca, got some full of sense advises 🙂 I thank God for her life. Then DISCIPLESHIP time with one of my prettiest member, Isabel 🙂

All in all, I thank God for this wonderful day! To God be the glory… So close to my dreams… and its all because of You, Abba!
