Dear future self, You will probably think of 2015, that time you turned 22 and almost felt like quarter-life crisis came earlier where you were always on the verge of falling down, escaping life crisis faking smiles. That was the time when you set a record-breaking 3 jobs in just a span of a year - not regretting about it since you knew those traumatizing career failure makes you a more critical individual. Anyhow, everything always happen for a reason, right? That was the time when you decided not to take life too seriously. You travelled more, took risks, conquered your fears and made more friends. Looking back, you were a Walter Mitty, a wallflower and a killjoy. Until then you realized that "Life's too short to not have fun" That was the time you experienced a heartbreak - in the form of a loved one who officially left his imprints on your home. By then, you became an instant breadwinner. Money challenged you. You became pressured with finances. But you never

Mr. Swabergers: Making the Burger Hype More Exciting with Fancy Colored Burgers

There is no doubt, we live in a society where instant, create-your-down and do-it-yourself seems on the verge of popularity nowadays - whether pizza, ice cream or cake it may be, burgers are undoubtedly on top of the list. One can easily recall Zarks or the Brgr Project and many more for their flagship of  create-your-own burgers. Then there's this colored burger that entered the picture. Wait, colored burgers? I am dedicating this post to the burger lovers out there. Especially to ehem.. Jossan. Earlier this morning, as I was on my phone checking Facebook, my mom told me about this colored burger she watched on TV. She can't barely remember what was the name of the store but it was along Caloocan. I immediately searched it online until I discovered "Mr. Swabergers". It was featured on TV5 Morning Show this week. Watch the feature here. And so I did not make second-guesses, I invited my mom that we should give it a try. Mr. Swabergers is located along Sangan

Of Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese Cuisine

Ever since I met my loud squad in the form of my former workmates slash food besties, I have been able to explore my love for foreign food most especially that our office is situated along Eastwood. Anyways, these restos were some of those food establishments we have eaten. (As far as I remember) Caffe Bene Benne’s like Starbucks in Korea. Yes, it’s a Korean cafe which offers different kinds of coffee/frappes/mocktails/yoghurts/sandwiches/gelato/bingsu. Bingsu, according to Pam is a “Korean Halo Halo”. It is a dessert containing shaved ice and topped with fruits/condensed milk and syrup. In our case, Pam let us try the Oreo Bingsu. For more information, check out their website: caffebene.com.ph Don-Day Korean Restaurant Don Day on the other hand, is a Korean buffet restaurant. It is situated along Maginhawa Street. One of the main reason why we went here is to experience Korean cuisine at a fixed-price expense. The budget for the dinner (special) buffet is 399/head (drink

Welcome to Sisig Society

Sisig Society is one of those promising restaurants along Eastwood that offers their specialty make-your-own-sisig at an affordable price. Jossan's been a sucker forthis type of food so we tried it out soon as I learned about this. Jossan tried the Crispy Sisig. It comes with a cup of rice and is priced at PhP 149. According to him, it lacks flavor. Flavor in the sense of it's strong taste (just like what other sisig tastes like) On the other hand, I wanted to try something unique so I ordered the Sisig Pasta and it's the bomb! It was around their Snacks corner alongside with Sisig Nachos anf Tacos and I find those really appetizing. Mos of their snacks only cost PhP 99. I also tried this Eyes Scramble for PhP 59. Literall with eyes on it! Don' worry tho, it's just a candy. Hehe. Overall, I' m satisfied with Sisig Society. My ratings: Food - 8.5 Price - 9 Service - 10 Jossan's Ratings: Food - 6.5 Price - 7.5 Service - 8

Books Are Turn-Ons

While Mom and I were on our way to Divisoria earlier, something funny happened. There was this guy in front of me who rode the vehicle on his earphones. After a few minutes, I found him unplugging his earphones, put it in his bag, and get his book afterwards. What caught my attention here is not just him pulling the book from his bag but the mere fact that THE BOOK WAS PLACED ON A ZIP LOCK BAG!! He really find it hard to get the book because it's in hard bound cover. Wth. Isn't it cute? =^_^= Many friends of mine knew how I really love books, so much love that I feel unsafe if it's not covered with paper/plastic cover. But this guy's apparently interesting. I felt how he took care of his book, yeah sounds weird and funny that it was on plastic cover but then, still covered in a zip lock bag. Unusual, and I liked it. I love the feeling when somebody reads because less people are really into reading nowadays. I mean, really reading as a form of a hobby. Going back, h

How Well my 2014 Went

I can say that my 2014 was the year that I embraced changes about myself (disregard my chubbier cheeks and bigger tummy tho, hahaha!) Anyway, this was the year that I graduated and had my first job. Using “had” because today will be my last day here in PSRC. I am just happy that I am feeling relieved. I had so many realizations during my stay here and it really helped me to gain deeper understanding on things. I always keep in mind that change is inevitable, and that change is good. I am always afraid of it in the first place. What if I lose? What if I fail? But then, I realized that moving forward is almost the same thing as moving ahead. If you really wanted to succeed in life, you should not be afraid to take risk, and accept challenges, and if you wanted a certain thing for yourself, you should work hard for it. My 2014 is all about my career. I had so many questions about my job during my first three months and spent time for overthinking about the path that i chose. Is

I Am Nobody

Sometimes I feel like I am such a boring person.  I rarely make friends. I am not funny. I am not really talkative. And I am not a good conversationalist. It’s like saying, I am basically a serious person. I am a nerd. I always wanted to talk about books, of poems, basketball and my favorite authors. Those were mostly academic. I rarely join a sociable talk, because I do not say much, I mean, (I later realized that this was me <asked during a job interview>) I really have a long list in mind, because I also considered myself an overthinker. And this was also the reason why boyf and I get misunderstanding often.  It’s because I don’t like his drinking attitude and I do not drink. We are always colliding.  Maybe because this was because of the “New Generation Thing?” I usually think what people think of me, and how do they describe me to people who haven’t met me. Am I something easy to be with? Moreover, I do not care about this anymore. I do not need to pretend what  I am
