Happy Lemon: Rock salt series

I’ve been procrastinating to post this for weeks now. This entry is one of the supposedly 2011 posts I left pending when the holiday busyness striked and my post-holidays laziness and rushy concert collateral racket I had during the first week of January. Well, I finally decided to write this one since I’m bored and I got nothing to do today.

As their tagline states “The World’s Yummiest Drinks!“, I could say that Happy Lemon does not disappoint. I’ve been curious about Happy Lemon ever since it opened it’s first branch at Promenade, Greenhills. Sadly I didn’t get the chance to try it earlier. I planned to try it before but the store somewhat gave me an impression that they have expensive drinks… or at least their price range is at par with Starbucks’. Yes, I somewhat felt intimidated. I know that was kind of silly of me but, now I know that I was wrong.

Serenitea: free jumbo upsize

Last December 19, Serenitea celebrated their 3rd Anniversary (sorry if this is sort of delayed blogging!). As a sort of gift and promo to their customers, they gave everyone free upsize! Yes, jumbo Serenitea cups! It’s really an awesome treat for me and bb. We’ve been waiting for this Jumbo upsize thing for a week or so and we really saved some tummy space for it too!

Christmas Card 2011! Adobe Illustrator CS3

Merry Christmas everyone!

So every year I make this Christmas cards I post on my blogs every Christmas. Aside from collecting Starbucks planner stickers this is another Christmas tradition I make and try my best to accomplish each year. I hope everyone is well and warm. I also wish I’d get a kiss and a hug from my bb, that would be really awesome. Happy Holidays.

Happy birthday Jesus! :]

Btw, sorry about the rush. I know it’s not the best Christmas card I’ve made and I feel like I’m getting sloppier every year instead of creating better ones.

Happy seventeenth month!

8 post for this month! Yup, sorry for the late crosspost.

It was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, I attended the 6pm mass at Megamall despite the crowd. I didn’t know he was waiting for me outside of the chapel already by the time the mass ended. Since we have so little money left, we agreed to just celebrate when we are able to…

We tried to window shop but there’s just this feeling of anticipation to go home. We’re both tired on our respective cases, as he was tired from work while I was tired of walking and standing for hours. So despite the pouring rain we decided to look for a cab that will bring us home.

We went home, rested for a bit, and had dinner. After that, we went upstairs to surf the net, play games and stuff. He checked the history of my my browser and got curious about this page with a link to an Online Chibi Maker. I got it from Mei’s blog post. He got interested and said that he’ll create a chibi character that looks like me and so he did. After creating a chibi me I created a chibi him too that turned out to look so much like him! It’s so cute!

So it’s basically this is our only 8-photo for this month. :)

Midnight surprise!

Starbucks Chocolate Molten Cake

Gold shoes!

Last Friday night, my bb brought another surprise home. I just stayed home that day and waited for him to go home the whole night. He brought me my Christmas present + dessert. I wasn’t able to post it here but a few weeks back, when my asthma really got me bad he brought me this sweet mini Chocolate Molten Cake. I did took photos of it but since he brought it home, it didn’t look as pretty as this one in this picture anymore. Last Friday night’s molten cake doesn’t have any whipped cream on it nor any drizzled caramel sauce on it too but the taste was as wonderful as the first time he brought it. I think I got better photos of it too this time!

I’d like a Sip!

Sip: Cup design / packaging design

I’ve been ranting about making a food blog for ages now… It’s been one of my frustrations. I mean, I love to eat and eat at new places I haven’t tried yet… so why not make a food blog, right? Its just that I don’t really have the initiative to actually make one. Well, I hope this entry would you know, try to start the food blog I wanted. :]

Milk teas have been sprouting everywhere, literally! It’s not that I have issues with it or I’m complaining because I’m such a fan. I was actually planning to write about the milk tea place that’s nearest to my home which is Serenitea first before writing down other milk tea places but I haven’t actually stayed there to drink so I really have no time to take photos and stuff of the place. My bb and I usually go there to order and go back home. Next time and if ever there aren’t much people in it, I’ll bring the camera and take photos so I can blog about it. For now, I’ll tell you guys about Sip Milk Tea.

My Cherry Planner!

2012 Planner: Front cover
My Starbucks planner for next year!

After 3 weeks of collecting stickers, I finally got my planner! I redeemed it last Sunday at Promenade after dinner with the family. Yes, it took me some time to collect 17 stickers, I’m really amaze when Gel posted an entry on her blog that she got her planner in just 3 days. Unlike before, I can’t drown myself with coffee anymore because of stomach conditions. I was originally aiming to get the planners with really dark wood covers but the darkest one was out of stock so I asked bb what to get. He said the cherry wood texture looks nice, I agreed and got the cherry planner for myself.

It’s sad that I wasn’t able to take a photo of my sticker card before I redeemed it. I don’t even have a photo of myself with the planner. Lol. I’m not sure if I’ll collect more stickers though… I might! I really couldn’t get enough of my favourite toffee nut latte! It’s weird though, I find most of the drinks I’ve had this year a bit bitter than before… bb said maybe it’s because I’ve been refusing to have the whipped cream and the normal milk they use and been asking for non-fat milk instead. I think he’s right because once I forgot to advise the barista and got the toffee nut taste I wanted. My bad. Hahaha!

And yes, I finally used Photoshop for photo editing again and didn’t rely on Instagram for a change and after like a year I’ve uploaded something on my flickr photostream again.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who greeted me on my previous entry! Thank you!

My Twenty-Sixth!

My I-just-turned-twenty-six face. Taken via Instagram at Chili’s Greenhills.

Every year I experience something new on my birthday. It’s not that I’m complaining about it, I actually find it amazing. This year I’ve experience waking up a bit early despite the fact I’ve slept so early in the morning that day. Unlike the usual, I had no work to attend to that day so I had the time to reply to every greeting I got and played games on Facebook the whole morning until I fell asleep holding the mouse in one hand. I just fell asleep while playing.

My mum woke me up around noon and left again for work. I continue to play until around two or three in the afternoon and decided to prepare to go out. Bb and I planned to go to Makati. We pushed through with the plan despite the heavy traffic. I think the difficulty to find a cab and the heavy traffic was a sign for us not to go to Makati anymore that day, however we didn’t realized that after experiencing all the hassle shit we experienced at Makati looking for an office we have no idea where and later on we found out that it’s not a good company after all. Yes, that was like we spent all that money, wasted our time walking for hours, taking all the heat and sweat, and that terrible traffic that day for nothing.

After that, of course we hurried to go back to Greenhills for dinner. We’re starving. We had dinner at Chili’s Greenhills. My mum and brother got there first (obviously) and we got there around 8-9pm??? I don’t know… we went through the whole Makati rush hour and that Mandaluyong circle tiangge traffic. We we’re so hungry that it’s a good thing there’s food on the table when we arrived.

The food was wonderful. I mean, a food is a food and it’s a wonderful blessing. There wasn’t any cake though. There wasn’t any candle blowing that night but it’s ok, I don’t mind at all. We were so full that we didn’t bother asking or stopping for dessert. We went home after dinner.

Even if the day wasn’t actually all happy (like being stuck in traffic for hours and spending 400++ bucks for cab fare), it’s still turned out ok. It’s a happy day because it’s my birthday and I spent it the people I love. I also got greetings from wonderful people and from people I wasn’t expecting who’d greet me this year. I really feel blessed. Thank you, Lord! ♥
