Writer's Block

It's 12.46 AM and we just got home an hour ago from a movie premiere - Taken. I highly recommend it to teenagers who don't follow their parents and travelers who are too complacent and excited, both may end up being kidnapped. Better watch the movie :p

with lots of blogger friends!!!

Moreover, today I bought a new purple dress that I am excited to wear. I feel like it has been ages since I posed with a decent outfit for the style blog. This week is slow since I opted to stay at home but it's only Wednesday now and there's more to do, eat, attend, and visit on Thursday and Friday. Definitely wearing the new purple dress on Thursday :)

at Blenz checking emails and plurking

I am trying to unblock the writer's block now but I feel I'll be able to write sensibly later on this morning. blah blah blah

The NEW Greenwich

I have one vivid memory of Greenwich, that time when I was a little, in a parking lot of some carnival, it was my first bite into a pizza. The flavor was "smoky" and "toasted" and I loved it. Now Greenwich has evolved into it's best phase ever, as a Fast Casual Dining place where friends can pass the time over delicious and affordable food.

Yesterday, I was invited by Greenwich to their new concept store near the Heart Center, and this is what I discovered.

And these are what I enjoyed.


Best Lasagna Ever


Shawarma Pizza


Ganache

I was so full yesterday I swear, I don't want to eat any more today. Being a blogger is quiet FATTENING but I love it. Thanks Greenwich! :)

Takaw - Chips, V-Cut, and Junk Food

I can't take how much takaw I've become, I crave lots of food - different types from healthy to junk. Last night I was forcing Az to eat midnight snack with me, I badly wanted a hamburger with french fries but it was 12 midnight. So I had some rice and my favorite dish laing, I was not happy after that so I took a chocolate covered wafer bar from Santi's to share with Az.

Today I could not think of anything else but V-Cut dipped in mayo and catsup. I asked Az to buy me some after I walked the dog. I made an effort today to walk walk walk even when my ankles are hurting (we got lost last week in Makati and had to walk a mile). We had 3 bags of chips and I devoured 1 bag by myself in front of the TV.

I asked some friends what their favorite chips are and here is how our conversation went:

What is your favorite CHIPS? vcut, tortillas, piattos, etc.

Suzaku Lace says dip natin sa cheesewiz! or catsup and mayo wee!

UrMajesty_Sire says vcut dipped in sourcream!

Tagaytay 2009

Mama, Liza, Azrael, Me, and Kuya Bernard went to Tagaytay one Monday morning. Our mission is to eat at Josephine's and have a fun relaxed time with the family.



At Josephine's after eating, the three of us took turns jumping in front of the camera. Az brought his tripod. I am very frustrated because I feel heavy when I jump and I look like a frog heehee but it was fun taking these photos!



Mama enjoyed her fresh coconut and Kuya Bernard enjoy pointing to the volcano.



After the lunch, we passed by a hotel being constructed and Mama thought it was a condominium with units for sale. We stopped by to ask because she really wants a place here. Turns out it is a hotel and the sales lady accompanied us to another building which is their condo version.



It was nice but Liza and I investigated the place and took lots of photos to "feel" if it was worthy to be called second home, naks! Here is Liza and me re-enacting washing of the dishes while talking behind the sink.



Of course there's the photo beside the fireplace and the swimming pool.



All we can say is that the weather is lovely. We then continued to the zoo since Az has not been there and POOR ANIMALS! They are in little smelly cages they can barely move and all they can step on are iron bars and cement when they are surrounded with the mountain. I hope PETA visits Residence Inn Zoo.

Anyway, Mama picked up more plants and enjoyed looking at the flowers. We went home with many plants, fruits, and goodies from Good Shepherd.



It was such a great time with the family! I love my life suuuuppeerrr...
