a nostalgic visit

Yesterday i went back to high school, things may be a little bit different from before but the feeling is still there. I miss high school.

As i take a step further, so near to achieve my goals and face the real world. I can never forget where i came from and developed who i am right now.

I went there because there's this Fun Run that they organized tom. @ 5am, my brother-in-law asked me to register him and my sis to the event. I was so giddy and excited to see my former teachers in hs teehee :))


at the hallways of our school, i used to run like crazy here..hahaa!!


nick's ever 'makulit' little brother, he's even taller than me if that's little hahaha!
(my fishtail's a little bit messy! my sister did that for me, she has talent for Hair and Make-up thingies hhe.)


Hello 'CHEESE" pillars :D


carvings on the 4 Pillars


me at the meteor garden, this is where we usually have our class photos..


parking spot beside the soccer field, apparantly there are a lot of ateneans who are into photography, skateboarding, and soccer. Before there were only a few..

i was lucky that day, i saw 11 pesos on the grass and picked them. although my conscience tells me not to keep it, so what i did i threw the 3 coins in different directions :))

What am i wearing?
shoes: Soulmate (love these flats)
jeans: Freego
top: Crissa

WHITE BEAN: pesto, quesadillas and friends

Sorry for the late post! i was a bit busy lately studying and reviewing for my exam this coming Sunday. (weekend? ikr?) but anyway..pleease wish me luck! :) i hope i will get the right answers.

Anyway, last Tuesday afternoon i and my friends went out to chat since our friend, Mon just got home from MLA. And my ever quirky cousin Sam asked me to take a picture of her outfit that day.

So we went to this cute cafe/restaurant shop. i said 'cute' because it's as if you walked inside a doll house! though there were just a few things there it's still looked like a princess/doll house because of the interior, the couches, the side bar, the cupboards everything!



you can read some of their books there, just ask their permission if you want to..


Creamy Pesto, it's so creamy that it compliments the nuttiness of the dish 
and the pasta is just al dente..


I've tasted a lot of quesadillas before and this is just yummy. This is chicken and cheese with spicy tomatoes (not really that spicy) quesadillas, the name says it all and it has a tomato salsa on the side for a dip.












i just love the whole concept of this cafe shop, the ambiance, the place, the food has quality and really tastes good. Although you might find it weird when you're eating or hanging out w/ your loved one there, cuz there are people who keeps on looking inside whenever they pass by. Well i guess they can't help it since it's a really cute place to hang-out.

If ever you want to try this place click the link below for more info about the place.
Place: White Bean located at Naga LAnd Hotel, just in front of Emall

Well sayonara for now and i'll be back after the exams :D

Lazy Afternoon and a bucket of mojos

Yesterday i went out with a couple of friends to have a photo shoot, it's one of our ways to spend time, let our creativity flow and all that jazz; Also it's for my cousin Sam's blog. check it out guys you may find some fashion tips from her ^_^

At first it was a bit hard, our friend Nick asked me to be the creative director alongside with Ged. I thought that the light passing through the trees would be a great effect on her, so walked around looked for a spot with the best light to catch.



She's wearing her Team Manila shirt


 and her pastel dyed studded shorts from her sponsor. Nice!



...only the spiky bracelets are mine! =P




Oh and yeah, i guess i haven't mentioned in my description in the blog; i am an amateur  photographer. I don't consider myself as a pro, maybe a novice? *laughs! but i still stick to the basics and that's just photography. I still need some advice coming from the pros.

Although i have some gigs? (should i even call it that way..) It's not that much but i still consider it as an achievement for me even though i'm just starting. :) weee <3

Happy time w/ Happy Leaf

I always forget to blog something about this new Tea Stall in SM. - Happy Leaf


They got lots of flavors to choose from, you can choose regular fruit tea or milk tea, and they serve milk tea slush too. Their tapioca pearls are a bit sweet for me but i don't mind! (i still enjoy chewing them *laughs!) And I particularly love the color of their straws..teehee! The tea costs for a reasonable price, and i'm sure that you're going to enjoy it too once you buy a drink from them. It's refreshing and it's very tasty, good for meals/snacks. I have tried the Oreo Milk Tea Slush (thumbs up!) and the Okinawa Milk tea (tastes like Wintermelon)
My fave drink in Happy leaf so far is the Blueberry Milk Tea, reminds me of my childhood snacks before, tasted like the combination of Nature Valley bars and Pop Tarts Strawberry/Blueberry.
(you guys might find it weird if i have a very distinct sense of taste.. =_=)
so anyways...

another reason for me to like it is that: other Tea shops here in Naga doesn't have a Blueberry Flavor. TBH i have one favorite drink in each tea shops here ^_^

-here's the Blueberry Milk Tea that i love so much!

Here's their facebook page if you'd like to see other flavors of the shop.
check 'em out here -->  Happy Leaf Milk Tea

-this is me signing out! Jal Ja! :))

Hibiscus

so sorry for not updating recently!! >A<  *90degree bow 2x
and this is post is soooo late already!! i should have posted this like a month ago. :P

mian haeyo!!


anyway...
you guys may be wondering why the title is Hibiscus. When i first heard this word first thing came into my mind were "biscuits".haha!! i don't know why maybe it's because of a name of a biscuit here: "Fibisco".

I'm getting nowhere here..so anyways,

After my Philo class which was toooootaally boring, i even fell asleep in class since it was raining too and it just feels good to sleep. My Philo class starts exactly at lunch time and ends at what we call here in the Phils. "siesta" meaning a time to nap, relax, or just rest after eating lunch. Good thing i wasn't drooling over my handouts when i passed out during class. well, even our teacher says that our schedule really is a bit tiring and boring.

When we got dismissed, since my mom asked me to pay the water bills for her, so i went. When the jeepney passed by the Starbucks i saw this tarp of theirs a new drink! i thought it was Raspberry something. when i got there to Starbucks after paying the bills because i was thinking of trying that drink. It wasn't really raspberry, it's Very Berry Hibiscus..
(so that's where the title came from....)          HAHHAA!!

i went in and asked about it, they told me that it's delicious and it goes well w/ raspberry syrup. But the other flavor was the best seller b/w the two of them. Still, out of curiosity i tried the VBH w/ raspberry syrup.
VBH has an extract of green coffee beans,
it was..... weird!! then i noticed that there were blackberries on it so maybe that's why it tastes a bit different. t'was my first time to taste a blackberry. But, as i continue to drink it, it slowly tastes better. It was a bit strong at first i thought it was a  medicine or something! Well, it was okay and it's really refreshing as they say in the Ads :)

this is what it looks like:
-very nice drink, a bit tangy but its good and refreshing :D
