Roti Mum
I miss Taipei. From the subway, I usually passed by a coffee bun shop. Good thing, we have some shops here like Roti Mum in SM Megamall who sells coffee bun.
Same good thing only not bought in Taipei. Paging DH.... let's plan a trip back to Taiwan!

Washington
A tiring DIY tour. We only stayed in Washington overnight but totally worth seeing it.
White House as background
New York New York
Watching Gossip Girl episode makes me want to go back to NYC and Central Park but who am I kidding? Mahal ang pamasahe, mag Luneta Park nalang ako haha Hmm me kalesa pa ba dun na tumatambay?
Boston and Hahvahd
I toured Harvard University, they pronounce it as Hahvahd lol We got there from the subway. Not knowing how to go about the area, were approached by some students from the university. To join the tour, one just have to go along with fellow tourist guided by two university students. There is no standard fee.
with Mr. John Harvard himself

Mom & Tina Bakery Cafe
My visit: May 10, 2009
106 E. Rodriguez Jr.,
Ugong, Pasig
5711540 9140833
A homey cafe. Price is not cheap though. The servings are not big enough for sharing.
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Picture taken with her cake compliments of the cafe.
Promo: Samsung
We got this 7 inch wide, 120MB built in memory digital photo frame from Samsung. We bought a Samsung T220 and after 3 weeks the digital photo frame was delivered to our address. Nice!

Mother's Day celebration
I surprised my mom last mother's day! She thought that I was not going to see her because DH and I had a date. Little did she know that I bought her a gift and would be meeting her and the rest of the family at Mom & Tina's Bakery Cafe for dinner.
Mom was surely surprised. I gave her a rose and a Body Shop gift bag.

A reading for plastic water bottle user and buyer
Hay naku super delayed reaction talaga ako! Grrrrrr! Buti nalang nasabihan ako ng trusted cousin ko who is also a blogger. Thanks to her nalaman ko na ang polycarbonated plastic (#7) is really, really bad for our health especially sa reproductive system natin.
I shifted to glass container
So, na praning na ako and I got myself glass water container. Nope, di ako gumastos at bumili. I got 6 different glass containers from my parent's house. They do not use it anyway. Ayan, bagong buhay na ako. Kaso, si DH di naniniwala. Huh? pa alkaline alkaline pa kami tapos mamamatay naman kami sa container dahil sa BPA. Hay.... anu b ayan?!?

Thai Patio
My visit: May 2, 2009
Thai Patio
Ground floor, Greenbelt 5
Ayala Center, Makati City
7290742
DH read a good review about this Thai restaurant. I don't know if the review made so much impact on its readers that we entered to a full restaurant. There is only one vacant table and just enough for two people but not good enough for the food we have ordered.
As with packed restaurant came poor service. Although we quickly got a seat, it took awhile to get the waiters attention for our orders to be taken.
Japanese Restaurant: John and Yoko... yoko na balikan!
My visit: May 2, 2009
John and Yoko
2nd fl. space 205
Greenbelt 5
Ayala Center
Makati City

We were searching for a Thai restaurant in Greenbelt 5. Cookie read a good review about the restaurant but forgot the name. We consulted the Information Board but no Thai restaurant was written on it.
We eventually settled for the restaurant with the most number of diners. We were mistaken.
at John and Yoko
My day
I was so busy playing Friends For Sale (FFS) on Facebook (FB) when DH told me that we have to pick our car that's on repair in Honda. While waiting inside the car for DH, I took a snapshot of myself.
birthday girl
DH saw a write up in Inquirer newspaper about a thai restaurant in Greenbelt 5 but sad to say, we were not able to find it. We were so hungry and decided to enter the restaurant with the most number of diners. John and Yoko un restaurant na kasamaang palad eh consistent sya in the sense na consistent sa pagiging overprice. Parang un quality ng food eh pang Tokyo Tokyo level hahaha Hindi pala mas ok pa ang Tokyo Tokyo. More on this restaurant later.

DH and I were really early for the mall wide sale. Super excited you think? Just being early to grab a good parking spot and we are aiming for the 10 am- 12 nn additional 10% off!
Since we were there around nine in the morning, We scouted the grocery area to while our time since mall opens at 10 in the morning.
At exactly 10 am, the mall opens! Packed with shoppers and long lines started. We searched for the Luminarc plates that I like but the design did not suit DH's taste.
Since I've been ranting about changing our pillows for a long time, DH finally agreed that it's time to change... all of it haha
Well, except for the two main pillow hehe we changed all 5 pillows haha

It's my birthday~
Today is my birthday! I don't have a party for a change though I might go out with my ex-BF that's for sure! I know... I should not but what can I do. He is still irresistible and cutest guy I have met in my whole life. So, when he told me that he will go to the office on Friday instead of Saturday, my special day, to spend the rest of the day with me, I totally agreed and felt like a princess.
Geez... I'll post our date pic later.
Meanwhile, I had three pre- birthday parties. The first two were from different group of friends who are really close to my heart. And the last one was with my family.
The first, on April 26, 2009 was with my barkada way back in college. It is nice to see our group pic growing in size each year! CML and I celebrated together ;p
