The theme was WATER DROPS.<br />
<br />
It was already late for me to take a fresh photo, and at the same time, I don't have my stock photos with me, since I left my laptop back home (we were sleeping-over my in-laws that night), so I thought of forgoing on submitting my photo entry for the week.<br />
But Ives wouldn't let me, so I just browsed over my photo albums that I uploaded in my Facebook account.<br />
At last, I found a photo that shows a dramatic flow of water drops on a lovely face...<br />
<br />
Although I already found a good photograph, and downloaded it from my fb account, I have two reservations:<br />
First is, I only took that picture using a point and shoot compact camera, my NIKON COOLPIX L21.<br />
And secondly, I don't have the high resolution original with me, I have no other choice but to settle for
a highly compressed version in Facebook.<br />
<br />
Regardless of these doubts, I submitted it, just for the sake of passing a photograph for the week. I want to regularly support CoAP by submitting my weekly entry.<br />
<br />
But much to my surprise, I was already sound asleep when my hubby Ives excitedly woke me up at around one in the morning!<br />
I was about to kick him for disturbing my much needed sleep, when his words rang sweetly in my ear!<br />
"Hun your picture made it as one of the runners-up!"<br />
And he was saying this over and over again!<br />
<br />
It was one of the best sleep disturbances that I experienced!<br />
<br />
I felt honored for having my photograph be recognized, and making it as one of the runners-up.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much to the Circle of Amateur Photographers.<br />
<br />
Special thanks also to my muse, Kacey Escalona.<br />
<br />
And most especially, thanks to my hunny Ives, for sharing with me his passion in photography!<br />
<br />
Now, without further ado, let me show you the photograph that made it as one of the runners-up for CoAP's Water Drops theme:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Summer is an action-packed season…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a time where I love going to the beach… and my favorite
destination is… BORACAY!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some are so excited just to cool their bodies down by just
sprawling on the cool sand… others love to swim… go snorkeling, island hopping,
jet skiing, and many more activities that you can do in the beach… and I really
love doing those things!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But if you were to ask me what is it that I’m so excited
about Boracay?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s Jonah’s fruit shakes!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No, it’s not an ordinary fruit shake… it’s not something
that you can buy in the malls or any shops! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
IT IS THE SHAKE OF ALL SHAKES!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So refreshing, so smooth and sweet! You can choose from different varieties of fresh
fruits, and there are choices of combinations
of fruits and other dessert s like chocolate and nuts!<br />
<br />
Oh, and the best part of it, is you'll get to share a few stories with the fruit shake king himself, whom we fondly call "Kuya Jonah!"<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
No, I’m not talking about the Battle of Thermopylae which
was featured in the movie 300… hey I’m all about food, so I’m trying to figure
out which Persian restaurant is the best for me… is it Mr. Kabab? (located at
West Ave. QC and UP-Ayala Technohub Commonwealth QC) Or the other Persian
restaurant, The World’s Best Persian Restaurant? (I’m not trying to describe
the place, that’s the name of the restaurant! Located at Quezon Ave. QC)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both of them have their own killer entrees and both have
their own not-so-good recipes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are the foods that I tried so far…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr. Kabab: I really really love their chicken beryani, lamb
beryani, falafel plate and their chicken chelo special… they are to die for!
But forget their shawarma plate and shawarma sandwich, the beef they used is a
little dry and it lacks a bit of that Persian spice…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TWBPR: I think this
is where I’ve tasted the best shawarma ever! Most especially when you top it
with hot garlic sauce…. Ahhh, it’s uh-ma-zing! And it goes best with their
mango yoghurt shake. But when I tried their chicken beryani, I was quite
disappointed since it is quite lacking not just in the serving size but also in
taste.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So who wins? ME!…
because each has their own specialty dishes that I can always go to whenever I crave
for that Persian taste… like I said I’m all about food!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Most of the times we want to go to these really fancy and
expensive restaurants and enjoy choosing from their
over-prized-hard-to-pronounce menu! But still we love the feel of the cozy
ambience and VIP treatment we get from the maitre d’ down to the waiter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or perhaps indulge in those exotic foods that some provinces
or countries offer. Getting accustomed to the different tastes of spices and
seasonings in our palate until we come to love the taste of it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are some of the GASTRONOMIC PLEASURES I enjoy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But there is one place that I love to go to and hang out
once in a while… and enjoy the simple pleasures of life… it’s the twirled
chocolate and vanilla ice cream that you can only buy at Ministop convenience
store… it’s like a taste of heaven… only, it is in a cone.</div>

Unfortunately, my orchids didn't last long...<br />
Maybe because I don't have what they say the green thumb...<br />
Or maybe because I didn't place them in the right environment...<br />
Or most probably, because, I was just so lazy to take care of them.<br />
Don't hate me.<br />
Believe me, I really love them floras and faunas.<br />
It's just that I lose the time and enthusiasm in nurturing them.<br />
But when I learned that the Philippine Orchid Society have their expo at Quezon Memorial Circle,<br />
I didn't think twice.<br />
Ives and I went there despite of the rain.<br />
It was still raining when we got there, but that didn't stop us.<br />
There are different categories in the expo.<br />
The landscape, cacti, bonsai, and orchid categories.<br />
I'll be posting all of the categories.<br />

Pardon my lack of knowledge on their names... all that matters to me is that I was able to capture their beauty... and preserve them through my photographs.<br />

Some prefer to go to the beach.<br />
Of course, there is no denying that all of us enjoy the beach.<br />
I myself love its beautiful sunset,<br />
Breakfast by the beach front,<br />
Cool sea breeze during the night,<br />
And the exhilarating activities!<br />
<br />
Another summer destination that I can recommend is of course the summer capital of the Philippines!<br />
<br />
Baguio City that is!<br />
<br />
Some choose to stay on travelers' inns...<br />
Some prefer those cute Bed and Breakfast lodgings...<br />
But for me, I used to prefer staying in hotels, most especially the ones just within the town proper.<br />
<br />
But now, just recently, Ives and I were invited to stay in this beautiful transient home in Baguio.<br />
This I think is the BEST Baguio accommodation for me!<br />
<br />
It is a Zen-styled fully furnished home, with four beautiful bedrooms, 2 t&b with hot and cold water, spacious living room, well equipped dinning and kitchen area with drinking water.<br />
This is located just five or so minute drive away from SM Baguio.<br />
Inside an exclusive subdivision, so you wouldn't worry about your safety, nor the noisy sound of vehicles. You'd definitely have a good night's sleep while regaining your strength for another day's fun-filled activities that only Baguio City can offer!<br />

Good cardio exercise...</div>
<div>
Fresh air for a healthier lungs...</div>
<div>
And sweet bonding moments with your hunny!</div>
<div>
These are all the things that I enjoyed when Ives and I went to Quezon Memorial Circle. </div>
<div>
But the best benefit I get from walking is the discovery of this dainty restaurant en route our planned destination!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunglass Cafe is a cute little country styled restaurant that serves hearty breakfast with unlimited serving of black organic rice, choices of lavazza or starbucks coffee, refreshing juices, cakes, sandwiches and pastas! </div>
<div>
Ives and I decided to try their all-day breakfast.</div>
<div>
I chose their pork longganiza meal. It comes with black rice, egg, and coffee or juice.</div>
<div>
While Ives decided on his all-time favorite breakfast, pork tapa meal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The food was great! The unlimited black rice was a big plus to the greatness!</div>
<div>
The price was so reasonable! </div>
<div>
The servers were friendly.</div>
<div>
The place was really cozy. (too bad I wasn't able to take many pictures of the place and their country displays, both Ives and I were already starving!)</div>
<div>
Even the restroom is so cute! The light switch displays the classic small coke poster a-la Norman Rockwell!</div>
<div>
I promise to take pictures of each and every corner of the place once I go back there... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For sure I'm going back to that place!</div>

<br />
I find the poetry posted inside the LRT trains very classy...<br />
the fm radio stations catering for the "masa" crowd, the vans and fx drivers are tuned in to, very funny...<br />
the fast cars under me whenever I cross through the footbridges on the wide highways very animating...<br />
the street foods from the MRT stations very satisfying...<br />
the unending chat of the cab driver very exhilarating, but sometimes annoying (that is of course, i just want to rest while going to my destination)...<br />
all these things I experience all because my car broke!<br />
<br />
Here's the latest addition to an exciting discovery while crossing the Elliptical Road. Ives and I were going to Quezon Memorial Circle to check out the Flora Filipina Expo. We went down the underpass from Philcoa to the Circle, it actually was the first time for both of us. Both to our surprise, it was rather a lovely underpass...<br />
<br />
There were works of art hanging on both sides of the wall of the underpass... mostly all about the old and new Quezon City...<br />
Some information about Manuel L. Quezon...<br />
and some projects of the mayor.<br />
<br />
What impressed me most is the beautiful lighting, tiled floors, and the 24-hour security guards posted there.<br />
<br />
Because we were running out of time, I wasn't able to take individual photographs of the works of art there.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, here are some shots while we were there...<br />

Ives had been bugging me since we got back home here in Manila to update my travel blog! I have been pretty much occupied since then, that is why this blog had been halted for a little while... But here I am once again! The problem is, how will I start my blog... should I do it chronologically? or should I just write whatever comes out first from my brain? I think I'll go with the latter.<br />
<br />
The first thing that comes out of my mind are the foods!<br />
<br />
I think one of the best food trips that Ives and I have indulged to, are the ones we tried during our stay in Baguio.<br />
<br />
Why did I say that?<br />
<br />
The following photographs will say it all...<br />

This year, I promised myself, never again!<br />
I'll never collect those stickers, for a planner so beautiful, I'll end up not using it anyway!<br />
Thanks to my unwavering resolve...<br />
I found myself holding my newest starbucks 2012 planner!<br />
(my husband doesn't mind a big-hipped wife anyway... right hun?)<br />

Some healthy alternatives.<br />
Here at Fruit Magic, you'll get to enjoy not just the healthy fruit shakes and juices, but some really delicious pastas, wraps and sandwiches. And the soya drinks with different flavors are really great!... My favorites are their spaghetti with meat sauce, spaghetti with tuna in red sauce and their chicken broccoli pasta. You can find them anywhere inside the malls, but the ones that serve pastas and sandwiches, like this one, are usually found inside the Fitness First gyms.leleihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15425788700435917964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551579810857796281.post-29906180453238864822011-07-12T13:09:00.000+08:002011-07-12T23:43:22.359+08:00Refreshments and Thirst Quenchers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used to love drinking really really cold soft drinks... but then, I thought of shifting to a lesser evil thirst quencher... Two of my favorite refreshments... ice cold nai tsa and black gulaman... always available at Chowking! Now what other local drinks can beat these two?leleihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15425788700435917964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551579810857796281.post-1903240343934778582011-07-12T12:16:00.000+08:002011-07-12T16:54:49.057+08:00Macao Travelogue (Part 1)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was so excited that I’ll be able to go to Macao for the
first time! I just can’t contain my enthusiasm! But after I’ve calmed down, I
started thinking what is Macau like?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is it like Hongkong? Or the old cultural China?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I made a quick research of the place… I found out that
Macao is the Las Vegas of Asia! Ooohhhh I’m so gonna be loving every corner of
this place! So I made a list on where to go to… and the first on my list is….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Fisherman’s Wharf…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was one of the first spots that I specially found
delightful! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s like a mini amusement park . You’ll get to enjoy a
short ride inside a manmade volcano, oh and this volcano spurts fire on its
cater! Walk a little further and you’ll
see the ruins of the old Roman theater and you can pose with a real live Roman
soldier! Now walk a little further at the back part of the wharf and you’ll see
the river where you can view the ferries going to Hongkong, but the best part
of standing at the dock during the night
is looking at the beautiful well-lit bridge that looked like ancient Greek gold
columns floating in the river! I never thought that I’d be awed at such bridges
as the ones beside the Fisherman’s Wharf of Macau!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh and don’t miss out the dainty souvenir shops and a
variety of restaurants there that ranges from American to Portuguese to Chinese to
Japanese dishes which are all mouth-watering! You can enjoy some cocktail
drinks while listening to the soothing sound of their bands. Then after a
sumptuous dinner, indulge in the authentic New Zealand ice cream shop there (New Zealand Natural, the ice cream café in the Amsterdam-themed area of Fisherman’s Wharf) to
end an evening of fun rides, wonderful views and delicious meals!</div>
