The End.

So just like that, I got tired of blogging.

Goodbye,

Justine

Hello, Mamou!

Hello to long weekend, sucks it's been raining though. Anyways, so much has happened, I've only had the chance to blog now since it's holiday. Busy busy, more like, lazy lazy. :D

So, the other day we had lunch at Mamou, newly-opened restaurant in Powerplant mall. My first time was in Serendra, even if that was a long time ago, I could still remember I enjoyed the food there. 

MAMOU

Roast Pork and Chicken

I say, this is the BEST. It may sound too ordinary, pork chop and chicken, but it's really really delicious and very flavorful. I definitely loved it.

California Pizza Kitchen, in short, CPK!

I remember my dad joking us that CPK stands for Cat, Pusa, Kitten/Kuting. Hahaha! LOL

Anyways last Saturday, my family and I had dinner at CPK in Powerplant Mall. The food was okay, the service not so. For restaurants like this, the receptionist should introduce us to our server but no, they did not. And they weren't really attentive.

Potato Leek Soup

We originally ordered for their Pumpkin soup but later on, the server told us they didn't have it anymore. Sucked. I didn't really like the Potato Leek Soup. At first, it was okay but as you went on, it's nakaka-sawa. Dane and I both ordered for this, we should have just shared.

The Meat Cravers Pizza

I loved this! My mom was so disappointed when she knew that CPK no longer offers their famous Santa Fe pizza. It's her favorite. Too bad for my mom but lucky for me 'cause I got to order this meat cravers pizza. :D

Hello Hello!

Sorry been MIA. Will blog soon!

Shakey's Pizza soon to open!

This morning on our way to DLSU to pick up Dane, we passed by Pasong Tamo and I literally shrieked when I saw this signage. 

Under construction already

It's right across Shopwise along Pasong Tamo. Yehey! I'm so happy. Can't wait for it to open! I LOVE THEIR MOJOs and Pizzas! ♥♥♥

Caffe Ti-amo, Greenbelt 5 ♥

 

 

Caffe Ti-amo in Greenbelt 5

I'm so happy there's Caffe Ti-amo in Greenbelt 5. It's right in front of Mango, going to Greenbelt 1. I love it because it's inexpensive and oh-so-yummy! My favorite is their MILK CHEESE. I also love their Vanilla Pretzel. Sad though, they don't have mint chocolate. 

Milk Cheese. Still wearing my violet matte polish.

Before you order, you can try out their different flavors first so you'd know which one to get. Whenever I go there, I always ask for a free taste even if I already know its taste. Hehe

Beef Curry Rice w/ Cheese

The last time I went to Pepper Lunch, I ordered Beef Curry Rice w/ Cheese. It was my first time to try their pepper rice with cheese; I was curious how it'd taste like. Well honestly, with or without cheese, it's just the same! Or probably because the curry itself was very flavorful already so I didn't feel the cheese. Maybe next time I should just try it with the original beef pepper rice.

CRAVE!!!!

Violet Lens

Blue

I've always wanted to try colored contact lens. Perhaps my sister Charlene has heard my wish and gave me a violet one which she got from Thailand. Sad to say, I have poor eyesight so I need my eye glasses, I can't just wear it on its own. Boo.

Here's what my sister gave me:

Well that explains why my right eye felt uncomfortable...BALIKTAD!

When worn. Pardon my auti look hahaha!

Marriott Cafe ♥

I officially love Marriott Cafe!

Dane and I, just the two of us :))

It was our first time but OMG, I absolutely loved and enjoyed every second of our buffet experience. I loved the food, ambiance, and service. We didn't have to call the attention of the food servers for water refills and removal of plates. Being an HRIM student, I'd say it's two thumbs up! Will definitely go back given the chance.

So here are what I had eaten that night; I made sure just to eat enough and not too much.

Twenty-One ♥

I've been living for 2 decades and a year now. Look how time flies. 

happy 21st birthday to me :)

I celebrated my birthday last June 19. It was actually a quintuple (5) celebration: Father's day, Rizal day, Pooch Park's 5th year anniversary, and the birth month of Poochini & Boo. It was supposed to be a fantastic weekend, from Miley Cyrus' Friday concert to a holiday Monday. But what the heck, I got sick on my birthday. We weren't able to celebrate and dine out. :(

Anyways, remember my second blog entry which was about the 'to die for' birthday cakes? I mentioned this: "I wonder what cake I'll get on my birthday. Hope it's RR or Costa Brava's caramel cake and not Goldilock's - I don't like their cakes, only their chocolate roll." Well the answer is, I didn't get either of the two. Why? According to dad, Red Ribbon no longer offers our favorite birthday cake. WTF &%$@##%

WHY???? :(((((((((((((((((

 My next option was their fondant cake since I've been dying to try it. However, it has to be ordered a week before and it's quite expensive, so it was not an option after all. HAHAHA LOL But my mom got me these instead...

Behind LuLu Makeup

 

Lu sisters

Dane, Char, Li and Jus

Lu sisters Char, Justine and Dane collaborated to start LuLu Makeup agreeing that everyone can wear makeup no matter what age group, to bring out the confidence and style of a woman.

Omakase!

Did you know? Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means "it's up to you".

My favorite Japanese restaurant in the Philippines! Thanks again to my sister for introducing Omakase to us. Back then, their branches were only in Tomas Morato and Libis, both far from us - Makati. So we'd travel all the way up North since my sister lives in Antipolo, so it's near them.

So here are my favorites:

American Dream - my mom calls it American Beauty
Deep-fried, salmon & cream cheese inside!!! HEAVEN!!!

Of course, Salmon sashimi!
I don't like Tuna sashimi that much.

Seafood Dumpling
Yummy, it's quite similar to American Dream. Fried.

Omakase's special sauce! ♥
You should ask for lots of this! 

Other than those, here are others that I've tried:

Miley Cyrus ♥

Corazon Gitano or Gypsy Heart Tour :)

I'm a Miley Cyrus fan. I love her songs and Hannah Montana, it's one of the best TV shows ever! Plus she's so pretty and sexy, agree? PARTY IN THE USA! ♥ Well even before I learned she's coming here in the Philippines, I'd already told myself I've got to watch her when she visits.

Pepper Lunch is LOVE!

♥ ♥ ♥ Pepper Lunch ♥ ♥ ♥

It was October 19, 2008 when my family and I first tried Pepper Lunch. My sister brought us there, and since it was the only branch they had at that time, the line was crazy long.

It was pretty long...

Haha! What a goof!

She's hungry!!!

 My dad was pretty upset for waiting. But what the hell, the food's worth the wait! Hehe!

The Original, BEEF PEPPER RICE ♥

Salmon Pepper Rice. The last time I ordered this, it was pretty dry.

Curry Beef Pepper Rice is ♥ But beware of putting so much sauce, it might get too salty.

Pepper Lunch vs Sizzling Pepper Steak

FLAT TIRE GANG ♥

Since Gian's back from the States, we had a little get-together last May 21 at Hanz's place in Greenhills. How could I forget the date, it was supposed to be the end of the world. HAHA! 

PS: They were my H11 blockmates in CSB except for Jeff See, the one in the middle. Extra lang siya. Haha!

L-R: Seya, Jeff, Hanz, Justine, Gian, Con, Ynna

Look at G's gifts from Miami to the guys! HAHAHA!

You might be wondering why my blog is entitled FLAT TIRE GANG....or not? 

During our freshmen years (not too long ago), since our MWF classes were only until 11:30am, my block would usually hang out afterward. However, there was this one incident that was truly and remarkably special. Obviously, the title explains it all. But here it goes...

Last July 20, 2007, we decided to hang out and go malling after our class because we had this ORDEV-A thing at night so we'd all return to school after. We were separated in 2 cars - Jino and Hanz. Gian, Con, Ynna and I joined Hanz. 

FLAT TIRE GANG - that's how we became closer than ever!

So the adventure begins! 

How cute are they? ♥

I just wanna share these photos cause they're amazing! C'mon, how often do you think you could take a photo like this? I just got lucky! :))

This is KOBE, our mini-schnauzer. And that's me, in the background! hehe!

How I wish I could say this is Poochini, but no, it's not him. And no, I didn't take this photo.

TO DIE FOR BDAY CAKE :)

Well I'm just so excited to start writing/blogging again! I told myself I'd start on June, but I just couldn't wait, can I?

Anyways, it's almost June and speaking of which, it's my BIRTH MONTH. Whohoo! ♥ So today, I've decided to blog about the to-die-for birthday cake that my family loves, except mom and Lee.

If you're my friend on Facebook then you probably already know what I'm gonna talk about: Red Ribbon's birthday cake! I definitely love the icing! I mean, if not for the icing, I wouldn't want this cake in the first place. It's called boiled icing. Then for the inside, you can choose from mocha, chocolate, and vanilla cake I think. My dad always orders mocha though I'm curious which is yummier between that and chocolate, haven't tried the latter. Next time!

So this is THE ONE! ♥

June, soon!

Thinking of going back to blogging again. Hmmm, let's see! ;)
