"Im such a pig"

Due to hard economic times, it seems a wise decision that one would bring baon to school. Not only do you save money, but you also control your the preparation of your food and have the option to make it healthy. So as avid supporters of the healthy baon movement, three wise (big) men shared one baon! The victim...Mon and his focaccia bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dip.

...The BAON...

As you can see, the food was only enough for one, but we tried very hard to share it evenly which we were able to do. But being three big men...it didn't work out. We all ended up buying additional lunch! Hahahahahha! At least the intention was there right? Hahaha!

Awesome!

Since it is SOM week in Ateneo, why not drop by the booths at the Promenade in front of Colayco Pavilion. 

More importantly, you should visit AWESOM CUPCAKES! Not only are their designs very patriotic(featuring the trademark glasses of Ninoy, the Philippines flag, a cool Jose Rizal) but they're also really good and very affordable!

Here are some of the cupcakes being sold at AWESOM Cupcakes...





So don't miss Awesom cupcakes this week at the Promenade. Also, 10% of the proceeds would go to Gawad Kalinga! Not only do you get a sweet treat but you'll be supporting a good cause:D

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! Unfortunately, Dad had to go out of town but Sher and I we're there to be with mom and celebrate hahaha! Since we hardly eat steak out because mom's is the best (if I say so myself), why not eat in Melo's? 

We ordered the Seafood Tomato and Caesar Salad which were both really good. For the main event we had.. 


Grilled Lamb Chops


and..

Wagyu Steak!


That was a really good dinner! For dessert, we headed to Cafe Breton for some crepes (sadly no pictures of that)

Happy Anniversary again Mom and Dad! and dad...we're willing to celebrate again when you get back! Hehe!

Have a break...

After spending the usual Saturday afternoon in GK teaching kids..you sometimes need a pick-me-up to make the day better. So when Ranscee, Stu, Abby, and I we're headed back home, Abby treated us to Xocolat! 

The box of brownies!

We got the coffee one, the revel bar, and original sin! Unfortunately, the citrus one which we all wanted was not available...

Abby modeling for Xocolat haha!

After we dropped Abby off at her place, the three of us decided to critique the three brownies we had. We all worked like a pro, even sipping tarragon tea care of Stu to "cleanse the palate" Hahahahaha! Feeling professional food critics hahaha! 

We voted the original sin as the best since it had just the right amount of gooey-ness to it. But if you can get your hands on the citrus brownie go for it! It's definitely a must try!
