Yamyamyam @ Cafe Lago!

Your'e not from San Pablo if you haven't been to Sampaloc Lake. Well, it is a famous place for jogging, "tambayan" and for "isaw." Everyone knows this place! Anyway in this area, there is a hidden cafe or better say a restaurant which I always wonder how goes it look like inside. Then one day, we need a place to  pass our time with my cousin and Cafe Lago is there not moving and here we go!

I a m actually surprised  about the place,I really thought it was a small place. Well its not that big but enough space for, I think, more or less 20 people. Half of the place is an open garden area. Its really a nice place, with the touch of hanging plants, unique color lamps, a "duyan", a seat made from  bamboo, build stones on a wall  and just simple tables and chairs. I really love the place. Its quiet and relaxing. Having two windows viewing San Pablo's infamous Sampaloc Lake. PERFECT!

Let us taste the food! Well, me and my cousin at that time had just some coffee and a  hot chocolate (tablea). We also had sandwiches. I love the hot chocolate! The sandwich is ok. Uhm, when my highschool friends had a foodtrip reunited :)  We tried FERN (PACO) SALAD and its really delicious! I mean Karen is not really into vegetables but she liked it :) I really love the crunch of fern! Some salted egg, onion and tomatoes. WINNER!

I asked some of my friends who already knew the place for some recommendation. Here are the list of food:

Suman sa Lihia with Coco Jam
Sinigang sa Miso
Fern (Paco) SAlad
Cream Dory in Oyster sauce
Buttered Chicken
Kalderetang Baka
Lengua in Mushroom Sauce
Fried Halohalo
Mais con Yelo

If you are wondering about the prices of the food, I took some picture from menu. (Sorry if it is not properly done hehehe)

Cafe Lago is open during WEEKENDS 7am-10pm and WEEKDAYS 10am-9pm. It easy to spot in Sampaloc Lake. It is just before "Ang Tahanan ni Aling Meding" (a hotel). Cafe Lago exudes charm, relaxation and yumyumyum!!!!! ;)

CHEWY jUNIOR

My friend, Anne and I met at Trinoma last Saturday. Pretty much  tiredness for her! I must say. We just walk around the mall. And then we saw this stall called CHEWY JUNIOR You gonna love it! She asked me to try it. I like sweets, but not too much. As Filipino says, "madaling maumay" for me. I actually like cream puffs but I didn't see it first, as a cream puff. I mean, what I tried is just a plain  cream puff from our town. :)

We are really not the type of people who likes to take pictures, alone. We wanted to be someone in our pictures. Kinda' shy type person :) Well anyways, let's go back to Chewy Juniors. there are so may flavors to try. Honestly, everything was mouth-watering food! It was like Atlantic Ocean in my mouth! kekeke~~ Just can't order two. I am pretty much stuffed that moment.

motto: “Let’s bake ‘em and not fry ‘em”

You maybe wondering why the Almond sweetheart was not in the box. Well I actually tried it! What we tried is Blueberry cream cheese and I tried Almond Sweetheart. 

IT IS REALLY GOOD! REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD!

I strongly recommend everyone to try it! I mean if you want sweets, you have indulge this with no other thinking! When I got home I tried to search it. I mean, it really made me curious. I found out it was from Singapore etc.

Besides Blueberry cream cheese and Almond sweetheart. You can check some flavors to devour at their website.Their branches and everything about them :)

Valonesa Project

 P.S. this should be posted along time ago, heheheh

I remember back then, me and my dear friends prepared surprises for our friend's birthday. Bought a gift and setting up balloons for them to bring around campus :) and then valentine's day was near, told this story to a friend and thought of making it up to life.

January of 2012, my partner in crime told me to make "sulit" of the said Occasion for Love Day. :) simply a balloon set up :) The birth of VALONESA PROJECT. But due to capital needs, i need my back pay asap literally. Once I received it, we planned to our very best, supplies needed and how to make our set to make our set-ups. After our ever ending meeting schedules, we went to the infamous Divisoria.

January 22, Sunday, we went to Divisoria. We woke up early, and met on the way to city proper.Once in the bus, there is no turning back. Off to Manila.

Home,

San Pablo city proper,

Buendia,

D. Jose,

At last, DIVISORIA.

Asked couple of stores, four our main star, which is balloons.. There are only slight differences on the prices. We also asked for the extras like baskets, gift wrappers, ribbons etc. After shopping the supplies went back home.

Next Days, package production which was really "toxic" we need to post pictures for our future customers.

 

better FILED! my 2012 or else!?!

Its December 2011! another year has to come to end! weew!! although I am sad for being terminated last month, I just miss my college habits! (WOW! 3 years way back to college huh!?!) Anyhows here's the habit I had. Yearly PLANNER. Hhhhmmm  being a student nurse that time, I need to be organize. I just buy organizers from bookstores because its cheaper teehee! hehehe What I really want that time was Starbucks planner because of its whole package. Problem??? I have to drink so many Frappe to get it! Result = still EXPENSIVE. I don't have that kind of budget. Sigh.... As of now, I am currently unemployed :( but still I want to change my next year. Bring back OLD habits. Be ORGANIZED. So I decided to search online. I'm kinda' lazy to  go out to National Bookstore to take a look. Surfing the net, I saw this article about

Top 25 Planners for 2012.

http://www.spot.ph/gallery/1749/top-25-power-planners-for-2012/article/49821

It is actually helpful.So helpful! hehehe Of course, Starbucks planner is included. Not affordable for me. BDJ? Not me and then etc etc etc. Bang! Shoot! I fell in love with this!

 

Yup! Already have it!!! Well, I was actually waiting for its raffle draw to get it free :) but somehow, I thought what if I am not picked and it was already sold out. Darn. That would not be good. So I decided to bought it. Not available here at our place, asked my cousin to bought it for me.

anyhows, how do I fell in love with it. because primarily, wholeheartedly and definitely its whole package! teehee! There's a free bandolier for your penS! A person like me who always lost her pen, need this!!! :) not only one but lots of pens. :) The holistic content is really not good but GREAT!

I love the mood indicator.The moment I saw this, remind me of you know, gals red flag. ehem! And of course dates to remember (birthday and holidays etc).

Expense Tracker would also be a big help. Everyday cost monitoring, helps you save. Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I need to filed an asset column and lessen my liabilities at a young age. So another point for this :)

 

 Speaking of Rich Dad Poor Dad, I love books! I can't buy some books due to its cost but I really make a way to read it. BORROW! haha. I love them. So this content, shoot again.

Next, FOOD! I am not really matakaw not unless I am starving. But I love to taste and experience eating foods like korean, desserts, seafoods, breads etc. This is one of my stress relief momentum. :)

TRAVEL??? one of stuffs I really want to do. Explore. Adventure. Life. :) Although not now, I will do it :)

Another stress relief is watching movies! Already anticipating movies for 2012. Hunger Games. Three Stooges.Avengers etc! excited to see that!

Forgot to take a pic for notes page. I  just remembered when I was in college, out of nowhere I do some writing stuffs on scratch papers that now I do not know where there are now. So here is a picture of overall extra stuffs. :)

This planner is A MUST HAVE 2012!!! I love the graphics. U can color whatever u want. Mood indicator. Expense tracker. Movies to see. etc. As Filed Familia say,

That I would definitely DO. If they will need investors and I have the money! I will surely invest! I love and trust their products :) I want to resell!

 

We also do want to hug and kiss your FILED products!  If they can read this, I want to request a black paper planner next year. Use mygel silver, orange, green or any neon color pens to write. hahaha. I was looking for a black notebook for a longtime :) Guys, buy this and you'll definitely love it! So hurry!

PS

Thank you for giving me this before it run out of stocks. :)

I  NEED A SPORT, BADLY! a CHEAP sport. something that will unimproved my "Lampa". Shoot! my stamina is not good. I easily get tired! (Gosh! i'm 23, so young! should be strong!) and then I decided.

Well, actually last year, 10-10-10 (my  birthday), out of nowhere (just for fun) I joined MILO MARATHON @ our town. Something different for my birthday. Tee Hee! (Ryan Higa!?!) I walked rather I mean I ran (ehem!) for  5 k, haha! Well I actually finished it, yet, Result = Body ache!!! 

Now, inspired by my cousins who enjoy running namely ORANGE CORTEZ and LEO ANGELO BRIONES. I decided to try. Problem: NO RUNNING SHOES!aish! for my just recent of my termination, I was really confused if I will buy running shoes. 

And then I saw this NEON GREEN FILA running shoes! I love the color! My fave! Gosh I want that! In the end I decided to bought it! Yipee! BAD NEWS: NO size for me! SHOOT! amp!!! in the end, I  bought the orange one. Oh, I forgot! reason I bought it??? It is SALE! Yes FILA is sale!!!! bought it for 1500 pesoses! still expensive but it is already cheap for a good quality! Teehee!!!

I started running Saturday with Briones-Cortez La Familia. They always jog at weekends. Our route??? Sampaloc Lake  :) Town's fave place to jog. 3.8K for  jogging. Ok, good luck for me hihihi! many people jog or run at this place. I was happy seeing elderly people running. They really got strong staminas! me???  I'm ashamed of my self hahaha!!! Well anyway it is my  first time. I have to train to Red Cross Fund Run if I will  join (which I did not). hehe. That Saturday has been really fun. Especially with my niece, Tenten,who wants to jog also. haha!!! all the dalagas! :)

Next day? body ache! weew! need to survive!  so i was jogging at Sampaloc Lake with my brother. Well, not regularly due to the weather. And now, I was really looking forward to jog again! I love jogging at the lake! fresh air! well it is really a good place to be commercialize in a way it still looks naturally :) This sport I really hope I'll pursue as always heheh!  good luck to me!
