37th

Every year I am reminded that I'm no longer in my 20's. I really don't think about how old I am daily. I just don't. I feel young and normal, that's what matters. Anyways, every year I just feel oh-so good and happy because it's December. I love December and everything about it.

I have no high hopes or big wishes but I did wish that I could finally find the courage and enthusiasm to start becoming the woman I've always wanted to be... to give it a shot you know because who knows, I might succeed in it. 

So for now, cheers to being 37.

San Mateo and Teresa, 11/23

Colorful fruits from lola. I ate the papaya to wash down the many isaws I consumed today. :D

ISAW: I can't resist. This is not good for me but I guess once in a while indulgence wouldn't hurt.

Mukhang nakakatakot yung shot but in real life, it was a serene 4 am morning sky.

After San Mateo, I went to Teresa to pay PDCs to RRC. Long commute. I enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to take pictures except for this while looking for plastic balloons. This was childhood.

Sundaying at Italianni's, 11/19

After attending a Sunday mass and visiting our loved ones in Marikina, we went to Libis to visit the Honda showroom. Yay! Finally! After that, I chose to dine in at Italianni's. I never wanted to eat here in the past as I 'd associate the resto with cheese and pasta. Di ako mahilig dun. But, we gave it a shot since The Bistro Group offers 50% off to BDO users. Marami pala silang choices.

Our tummies were full and my alcohol dosage for the day was satisfied. :D

Binondo, 11/11

Ohhh so this is Binondo. I can't tell what I exactly felt but it was definitely a different experience. I live in Manila and I visited Divisoria in the past but to be able to take a stroll in Binondo was something else. Like I was transported. I definitely felt like a tourist.

Polland and Matsuki were my favorites.

Santolan: Barangay Election + Street Food Trip, 10/30

I wasn't supposed to vote but our friend told me that skipping one election could mean I could be deactivated for the next one. So, bumoto na lang ako. It was quick and I surprisingly enjoyed the day, ang daming street food! Waaaaaaaaaahhhh I missed eating all of these. Before I could ever afford fast food chains or Starbucks, these were our childhood meriendas. Cheap, yummy, and uniquely Pinoys.

Banana Cue + Coffee

Banana cue that I cooked and freshly brewed coffee on a lazy weekend... yum.  A "do nothing" day. ;)

Quiznos love

Love love love Quiznos :D

Greenfield Weekend Market

Although, this is only across our office, it was my first time here at the Greenfield Weekend Market.

My friend and I were curious and didn't want to go home yet, so we decided to stroll around and check out what we could find and eat here.

Foooooooood

Live music. :)

My favorite for the night.  Paintings!

and more foooooood...

Yuuuum

This is a loooooot of fruits!

Cebu lechon! Saraaaaap.

I never liked lechon but I ordered this one and... I liked it a lot. :D

Masarap din ito and affordable.... Well, everything was affordable :)

...exactly what I was hoping to see

Handpainted fans... I will definitely go back for these,

and tapes are now considered "vintage" yay... *feeling old?*

And more classic music

Artwooooorks! ^_^*

These are nice.

I actually liked the painting above the Eiffel Tower painting ;)

My favorite from what we''ve seen tonight.

 I will definitely go back and I will make sure I have my camera with me! :)

TheBaikery's Store

Loving the store design.  I quite didn't expect that thebaikery's shop looks this good.  I thought it was only a kiosk somewhere.

My sister is a bread afficionado, she discovered it.  When she brought some at home, we fell in love with their bread, freeeesh, soft, and moist. Plus, the breads are affordable. :)

Peri-peri

Eduardo's peri-peri... sarap and affordable!  I really love chickeeeeen!

Industrial design appeals to me.

MUST TRY for every foodie!
