Happy Moon Cake Festival!! My school has a huge Chinese community, so I know. Last week, a school organization even had a party to celebrate it. I was invited to come by some of my classmates, but unfortunately I was on my way to my grandma’s house that night. We’ll be off to Subic the following day. My grandma just turned 90 yesterday. So the entire family from my mother’s side spent the weekend in Subic to celebrate this special occasion. My uncle and my cousins came over all the way from HongKong to celebrate! And the Moon Cake you see now is their pasalubong.

Oh joy! I found the huge box of Moon Cake after dinner and said to myself that I would finally be able to taste Moon Cake. There were 10 Moon Cakes in mini boxes inside the huge box and there were two kinds. One is in a blue box and the other one is in a red box. I honestly don’t know what their difference are casue I was only able to eat one. Mom cautioned that Moon Cake is quite heavy and I have realized that I’ve just finished dinner, so I had to wait for the following day to get a taste of Moon Cake.

I managed to get one before we left for Subic. I grabbed a Moon Cake in a red box. I only had a quick breakfast and I was still hungry. Somewhere between the trip, I felt the need to eat cause I am used to eating heavy breakfast. The Pringles my sister and I ate earlier during the trip didn’t help much. And then I remembered my Moon Cake! Read the rest of this entry »

Congratulations to the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010!!

Last night, I tried my best to catch up at the awarding ceremony and bloggers’ eyeball of this year’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs. The event was almost over when I arrived at Le Bistro Vert in Makati coming from school. But nevertheless, I had a great time meeting the bloggers behind the blogs. I was really looking forward to meeting people and socializing that night. It was really important to me since I’m an introvert and it’s really hard for me to initiate conversations. “I promise to talk if you talk to me first!” I’m like that hahaha. I wanted to make up for the opportunity I lost at iBlog6 where I wasn’t able to talk to anybody at all just because I was too shy to approach people. And fortunately I succeeded! See? I even have pictures with the other bloggers (Yes, even approaching people for a picture is very very hard for me haha)

Aside from wanting to have a term with no failures for Christmas, I wantsss to have a new phone. Well, my phone isn’t really screaming for replacement; it just whispers. HAHA! Thanks to those phone housings sold at the public market, it still looks decent enough, which means I don’t feel ashamed using it in public . I can still count on it when it comes to sending and receiving text messages but not for calls because I can’t hardly hear the person on the other end unless it’s really really quiet. But that’s okay, no one really calls me, just my mom when it is extremely urgent or important. Calls are expensive so let’s just text! hehehe It has camera, but I don’t use it cause its quality is epic fail and I also have my digicam everytime everywhere. It has some games but I don’t play since it will just drain my battery and I’d rather do something else like read a book.

So if I’m quite contented, why the heck do I want a new phone? Well simply because I am trying to live a new life – a productive one! If I would be getting a new phone, I want it to help me increase productivity. Basically I just want it to be able to be able to connect to the internet via WiFi and can support a WordPress app. I am happy with that. Read the rest of this entry »

Going home from a paper consultation for a major subject last 2 weeks, simply the sight of Dairy Queen at Ali Mall, Cubao led me to buying Blizzard. I soooo love Blizzard, now who doesn’t? I used to always get Mudpie, but the Cheesecake Blizzard Treats got my attention! Those sure look yummy, mmm mmm And then I forgot I was trying to save money!! huhuhu

When you are craving for ice cream and craving for cheesecake at the same time, this is the perfect solution! I went for Strawberry Cheesecake because there’s real strawberry pieces in the ice cream unlike chocolate which is simply chocolate ice cream. I want more other than ice cream in my cup Do you get what I am trying to say? Hey DQ! What about coming up with Blueberry Cheesecake Blizzard? Read the rest of this entry »
