Dinner on a Plane

The only thing that excites me when I fly is the food. Airplane food are always pleasantly organized and complete. They come in tiny containers like little bunch of surprises! :)

The main dish is pork with vegetable rice. Sauce was tasty and the beef was tender that it can be chewed on easily. Chunks of veggies are incorporated with the rice.

I skipped on the bread and butter to enjoy this curious treat right away. It's a cheesecake in a cup by Goldilocks. Complete with crust, cream cheese and blueberry jam. Thanks to this I momentarilly forgot I was up in the air.

After dinner, the movie Marley and Me was shown on the big screen. Good thing I have not seen this one yet! Thanks to that dog for entertaining me for 2 hours. And after this movie, Adam Sandler's flick (storybook?) was shown. I also finished this because I just can't sleep. I wish they had popcorn :)

3AM (Manila Time), the lights were turned on and breakfast was served. It was just Ensaymada from Quickmelt because we were soon to land 4AM (Manila Time).

Melbourne take Two

Anya, Lace, and Joni

Looks like I survived an 8 hour flight. I'll just blog this swiftly - the first thing I did right after landing was to take Anya to school.

Kiko and Kikay with Anya

And right now we are playing with the dolls given by Yeyey and Azrael. The dolls names are Kikay and Elephant fish.

Anya and Elephant Fish

More later! Thank God for a safe and smooth plane ride.

Spa and Coffee

Hours to go before flying and in a short span of time, I can feel stress nodules on my back again. It's called "lamig" in Filipino. Apparently, toxins are released and stored in the lymph nodes of the back when one is stressed or anxious. It makes part of the back tender and you can either have a stiff neck or a stiff back. I had both.

After chatting with my sister Joni, I left to meet Azrael in Galleria where he had a meeting. I could not help but pass by one of my favorite massage parlor called Excelsior. I love their massage because they make your neck pop like a firecracker. I love hearing my bones pop and I imagine them falling back into their original places :) I was not disappointed earlier and was very satisfied with the service. I had the combination massage of shiatsu and swedish. I felt the nodules were plenty moving around on my back and I swear there are still some left.

I left Robinson's Galleria refreshed with a softer back and the stiffness has disappeared. Then off we walked to Metrowalk - I always find it very far. One has to walk very long and cross different streets to get there. It's hard to get a cab in Ortigas area, taxis are like celebrities. Since I am so relaxed, my bangs took a back seat



Starbucks was filled with some bloggers and my sister's BFF Zarah was there whom I was suppose to meet. She had packages for me to bring later to the airport. It's a gift for Anya and my sister.



Then we had a long chat with Janette Toral as usual. I enjoy talking with her because I learn a lot of new things about the Internet and business.

I am tempted to organize another activity with all the opportunities now. However, I think I better enjoy this vacation first.

May the clouds disappear later and may I fly safely and prevent myself from hyperventilating. I plan not to sleep so I get knocked out on the plane. Yet, I'm now very sleepy x.x

Eating and Trotting before Leaving

Well, it's just days to go before I leave Manila. I am excited and terrified at the same time. I hope my airplane would be the friendly kind. I've been "practicing" sitting on a plane inside the bus - weird. Traveling is one of the greatest things you can do except the flying part T_T

I made the most out of this week though. I'll miss the blogging scene for a month and all the craziness of our daily schedule.


Sampling the afternoon tea at Bizu Patisserie.



At the Asian Institute of Management with bloggers and marketing practitioners. Azrael was one of the panelist and I was unusually proud of him *lol*

And finally, attending (shopping in) the Adidas Store Opening.

Today, (it's 3AM now as I write) I'll be hosting the first Fashion and Beauty bloggers tea party of StyleandRelax.net - it was very last minute but I thank my sponsors for their overwhelming support and love <3

After this mayhem, I shall pack *light* and get ready for an awesome adventure!

See you soon!

Krispy Kreme Donut Shortage in Megamall

At Krispy Kreme Megamall today, donuts were running out of stock at around 8.00PM. I went there with Azrael to eat some Chocolate Karnival donuts but it seems that many are also addicted to it now! :)

My video blog (pretending to be a news reporter at the beginning)



Yes, I get silly sometimes too! :p Look at how serious and affected I look because of a shortage in donuts x.x

People lined up and wished that they get the 5 remaining Chocolate Glazed donuts until the man in front of me bought them all. People behind me said "awww" in chorus. Only original glazed donuts were now available. The staff said that they are also experiencing sold out Chocolate Karnival donuts in other branches. I even planned to go to Mall of Asia Krispy Kreme just to eat them chocolate covered goodies.



Then I asked the waiter if more donuts will arrive soon as the manager seems to be on the phone talking to other branches. The staff said that donuts won't make it on time and that they did not expect this many people to be craving for Krispy Kreme on a Holy Week. I kept on peeking inside the donut factory to find out if donuts have arrived or are being baked. And looks like the manager noticed! He went up to me and said there are still some remaining donuts and he wants me to bring them home, for FREE! yey!

Thank you Krispy Kreme, you never fail to make a little girl happy *mwah*
