Legend of the Guardians "TV Spot" - Search of a Legend

I watched this movie because I have charge slips that will soon be expire. I never thought at first that this movie is good.

But then, hindi ako nagsisisi na pinanood namin 'to. Thanks to my Achi for choosing this movie.

Johnny's Fish and Co.: Cebu's version of Fish&Co.

My Monday bonding with Achi, we went to Parkmall to buy some office stuffs.  Yes, I usually go to Parkmall to buy office supply and of course, eat. After I paid my MB credit card, my sis and I looked for a place to eat... and we saw Johnny Depp!!! (haha, kidding) i mean "Johnny's Fish and Co."


So, this is Johnny Depp.. hehe. cute!! We love the interior of the restaurant and the old ship theme.

Cebu's version of Fish&Co., but more affordable than the original. 


Mine is the Sarsi while sis decided to have bottomless Iced tea. But when you order  for a coca cola brand they will served your drinks in a CocaCola glass (like those 25 php Coca Cola glass from Mcdo)


Appetizer.  Farmers Rolls.. Sorry Johnny but this is no good. I'm ok with fresh uncooked sprouts. I already had this one in Lemongrass,  and lemongrass served this with kani meat and yours with shrimp. but the sad part is you only gave us one shrimp (for plating? ) for five rolls.

My fish&Chip rather fish&rice (I don't eat fries for lunch). It's really taste like Fish&Co., even look like Fish&Co., the breading and tastes with tartar sauce. It made me wonder though. hmmm...  But for a price of Php 150.00, ok na!
I like COK's fish chips better! ordinary and plain.

Surf & Turf. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na "surf and turf"means combination of steak and seafood. hmm.. I like it! Surf & Turf!! and I like this Surf & Turf (lamb and shrimp). I don't like lamb but the taste was yummy. kahit na walang gravy.



This is better than Fish&Co., because? It's Cheaper!

Casa Ibiza; One day getaway

I was curious about this place when I first red this in femalenetwork.com. A place, I thought, that would be perfect for a barkada outing.  Unfortunately, when we almost finalize our outing I have to cancel it for hosting.  But Da wanted a one day getaway. So, we pushed our outing kahit na for day tour lang.

It's a one hour drive to Antipolo City. I find the directional map, they provided, old and a bit confusing.  There are no new or clear landmarks to help us find our way. BUT, the place is good! When the guard opened the gate, I was woah!! I like the blue, orange, and yellow buildings/villas!! (made me remember how I wanted to paint our office toilet with blue and yellow.)

The place is extraordinary.... The design and the Mexican concept of the resort. It has a relaxing environment.  But surely, we would have enjoyed more if our friends could joined us.  

Sprawling Pool. The pool is.... not malinis though. Yung mga dumi nasa ilalim na ng tubig. :(


The bridgeway can be rented for 500php/2 pax. It can accommodate 5 person. 
Additional of 150php/pax. 
The Cabana can be rented for 1,200php/2 pax and can accommodate 15 person. Additional of 150php/pax. 


The Villas.
Deluxe Villa is good for those who planned to stay overnight in the resort. It has 3 bedrooms; one master bedroom with toilet, 2 small room, one toilet, a living area with TV, a dining area and preparation area. It can be rented for 3,000php/2pax, and can accommodate 10 persons (500php per pax).

Same goes for the Grand Villa. However, it has more space than the Deluxe.  Grand Villa is 6,300php/6 pax and can accommodate 20 person.






We find this painting in the guest relation office. ANG KULIT! :D

Maki Haus, Banawe



I was always been curious about this Chinese restaurant in Banawe.  I always enjoy eating Maki. So today, my mom and Ahya accompany me here. Besides, my mom said they served oyster cake (mom's favorite). 

There's nothing special in this restaurant but it is your typical Chinese food that you will come back anytime you want Chinese.

Mama's Favorite

There's one thing I don't like Chinese... MSG.

Always mother's day; with the Aroma of Coffee bean and Tea leaf


I am a Starbucks fans since high school. yes, I was 7 years old when I first tasted and like this bitter sweet drink. Starbucks was and still is a haven for me. Coffee makes me relax even just by smelling the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. 

When Cuz introduced me to Coffee bean and tea leaf, I told myself, "Starbucks pa rin ako" but anyway... What I like about this coffee shop is their tea. Honestly, in my opinion they make better green tea frap/ice blended than Starbucks. Although in my mom's opinion  she likes the coffee here than Starbucks.

Matcha Green Tea
Cafe Mocha
Anyway, it doesn't really matter which is better.. because for me its' whom you are with.  Dining in Starbucks or CBTL with my mom still the best time.  Just us, talking, reading magazines, trying new sweets and new products, commenting each topics... A bonding time.  It's like college days. When my mom picking me up at school just to have a coffee break with me. A time to know here more, to know how empowering to be with her.  Hence keep reminding me how lucky I am to have her and wishing to have this time with my future kids.

I love you mom. and thank you.
