Chocolate Cake by: 12 Baskets Bakeshop and Everyday Sweet Notes

Today, I received a very special message on Facebook. I won another contest. This time, it's a contest by the birthday celebrant, Smarla of Everyday Sweet Notes and 12 Baskets Bakeshop.

I won a chocolate cake, specially baked by Smarla, herself. We both agreed to meet at a coffee shop in Katipunan, QC.

When I got my prize, I was so eager to reach home, I wanted to see and taste the cake! Just imagining about the mouth watering chocolate cake inside the red box made me even more exited. When we got home, I immediately cut the plastic ribbon and opened the lid. Then there it was.....^____^

Mercato Weekend

Our family loves to eat, so, when my other grandma came home from Abu Dhabi, we finally decided to check out the popular Mercato Centrale. We got there around 8 am, and it was already jam-packed! Vacant tables were scarce!

Azuthai - Home Style Thai Cuisine

As an early birthday celebration, my sister Karen who is a total foodie, treated our family to a mini degustation at one of the finest Thai Cuisine restaurant in the metro.

When we got there, I was pretty much impressed with the ambiance. Outside, you would not think it has a fine dining set up. But when you see the interiors, it's pretty much impressive. Although, when my sister made the reservations, the person in-charge allowed us to wear jeans. Plus, I saw several customers who came in wearing a regular t-shirt w/ jeans or walking shorts and sandals. It pretty much ruined the atmosphere. Nevertheless, it's all good.

Site Maintenance - New Theme Implementation

Thank you for all your support! Cheers! ^_^
