Happy midweek!
Long day starts tomorrow, as I have too many things line up for me.
Will be going on field trip with the kiddo tomorrow, buy some baking stuff after and then work.
Then the next day will attend an event, after that work and then hopefully squeeze some test baking for the cupcakes I will need to prepare for the next day...
Will be making some minion cupcakes from scratch for the first time as requested by a friend for her nephew's birthday on Saturday. So that's kinda making me nervous, although Ive been baking cupcakes already. Its because of this nitty gritty details of the minion design that I will need to achieve.
Since its been a busy week, I am hoping to end it with a long overdue foodtrip that Ive been craving. It really frustrates me that Roti Mum's not in Centrio mall, of which is my go to place. This mall kinda like my extended neighbor already because I regularly visit here for leisure, errands, work and whatever purposes.
One of my favorite place to hangout and have coffee is Rotti Mum. Funny how I just ignore this kiosk in the malls before. However, when a friend invited me to rest at Rotti Mum after a tireful stroll at the mall, thats how discover my newest fave. My friend recommended to order the coffee bun with coffee combo. And she was right because after that it has always been my fave. I am not sure if it was me being a coffee lover, but all I know is I do love the taste of their bread!

Do you like Roti Mum's coffee bun?

Hello Monday! Another work week is here... but for now its a holiday!

If you have been following me on instagram or reading my blog, you already know that every Wednesday and Saturday my friends and I hangout. This is our way to catch up, relax and escape the virtual career for a moment. 

Working at home, alone can be stressful. Its good to talk and laugh with friends once in awhile... thats twice in a week for us. ^_^

Since me and my friends not only love shopping but foodtrip as well, hence what you often read here in my blog. In the photos we dine out at Missy Bon Bon Bakeshop for a Saturdate. 

I really love Missy Bon Bon! Good food, nice ambiance and outdoor dining. This is even a great place to work because they have a free Wifi! My fave is their all-day breakfast, mango float and gelato ice creams. My friend love their pastas. The pancakes too sweet though.

After an afternoon chat we headed to Lifestyle District. I didnt have much photos of it because its already dark and were having much fun that we only got less photos. I shall share about this place soon though because we also love to hangout here. 

Today's the last day of August...

Are you excited for the Ber months? 

Happy flyday Friday everyone!

As I mentioned previously I will share more details about this new (to ourself that is) cafe we visited for our midweek chill.

Capricho Art Cafe is not just a typical cafe that serves refreshments and food to its costumer. It also offers art pieces which are painted by local artist in the city. This art pieces are also sold at an affordable price.

The food and drinks on the menu is not expensive. Probably because of its location, which is just outside Liceo De Cagayan University, wherein students are the regular costumers.

I ordered the frozen choco drink and bacon & egg sandwich while my friend ordered the strawberry drink and aloha burger (yes that's aloha burger... as you can see something is missing in it). Honestly, we didn't enjoy our order much besides the fries that we finish in a snap. :D

Tips: They have affordable combo meals/snacks, make sure to ask on the crew.
There are some food and drinks in the menu that are not available.

Hi there! Hows everyone been doing? Me? Getting lazier in updating this blog. Seems like this has always been my lame excuse when Im not blogging for awhile huh... There's a lot of things I want to share with you and will start with my trip to Cebu last January.

I tag along with my cousin and her family, who had to travel to Cebu for some important appointment to attend. It was an unplanned trip and I love it coz I got the chance to travel on the first month of the year. I am hoping this will be a mark of more travel this year. (Crossing Fingers)

Will be blogging more about the places we've visited but let me give you the summary of our trip through this pics...

Just had an hour of sleep because I worked graveyard... Then we woke  up extra early for a roadtrip to the airport and to catch our flight in time, which unfortunately was super delayed... And unluckily turn out to be cancelled flight, that we had to transfer to another flight for Cebu.

Hello Cebu! The trip was just short compared to the hours we waited for our plane. We're already super hungry and the van from the hotel that we commissioned to pick us up arrived late. (>.<)

Arrived at Mango Park Hotel... finally! The view from our room...

Would love to lay down and grab the much needed rest but my tummy wont let me.

We grabbed our late lunch/early dinner at the SM City Mall... The food court there is so nice and clean. You can choose a variety of delicious viands at the affordable prices without waiting. Most likely on peak hours like lunch and dinner time, you have to wait in line when paying because its "Pay as you order" service.

 After lunch, the kids went to Worlds of Fun which just beside the food court. And since Im a kid-at-heart too... I joined them. I miss riding bump cars. I rarely see one here locally so took this chance to enjoy it with the kids. 

Before heading home this Crazy Crepes catch our attention and so we tried it! I love it!

Travel wont be complete without visiting the tourist spots... 

First stop... Taoist Temple!

Basilica del Santo Niño...

Magellan's Cross...

Looking for pasalubong or goodies to love ones? Drop by at La Fortuna Bakery which is right behind the Magellan's Cross.

Ayala Terraces...

For dining... You might enjoy cherry blossoms in France at La Vie Parisienne!

Lighthouse Restaurant which is fortunately right beside our hotel serves delicious native foods. Two thumbs up! 
Thats it folks... Will share more details about our Cebu trip in my upcoming post.
