Lulu Belle @ Rockwell

I saw a Yogurt Place at Power Plant Mall named Lulu Belle.  The place is really cute, with soft cow dolls in the counter.  I ordered plain yogurt with mango toppings.  Price is comparable to White Hat and Red Mango.

Taste reminds me of the I Love Berries yogurt - sweet.  It's okay but I still look for the "sweet-sour" taste of the yogurt.  It's still White Hat for me :)

First Time in 6 Years...

I woke up around 7:00 A.M. Skies were really dark. Strong rains. Howling Wind. The first thing that came into my mind was "Will I have classes later?" (currently taking up Bag Design at Fashion Institute of the Philippines). My school is in Pasig and I don't want to be stuck in traffic considering that the rain is really pouring heavily. I took a bath then decided to have my breakfast first at Jolibee. When I went down, I was so shocked...



This is the first time I experienced this flood eversince I moved in 6 years ago =( It was really makalat in our walk way since a new gym just opened - still fixing and painting the walls etc. Shucks! I didn't have any idea that it has been raining the whole night til the morning to have flood like this.

I wasn't able to go out anymore. Worst part is that water went inside my cousin's house downstairs. I had to ask help from a friend who lives on the 2nd floor to help them since she has a 2-month old baby. I asked them to stay first in my place.

I checked out the street and water was everywhere :(



I started to panic because (1st) I don't have any food! I wasn't able to go to the grocery the day before. (2nd) My sister kept on texting me because the roof in my lolo's house is giving them problems again (tumutulo!) and my lolo wants me to check on it (duh! as if i know what to do with the roof!) and (3rd) I have to make some deliveries and I couldn't text my clients because I don't have any load.

Anyway, after a few minutes of deep thinking, I decided to relax and just make the best of what I have at that moment. At least my house is on the 2nd floor and my place is safe. Something to be thankful about....

More street shots.



Filipinos are really innovative huh?! This made us smile :) According to the "manong" this ride costs

P100 :)

We were all hungry already but since there's no food, we can't cook and can't buy too, we feasted on Lucky Me Pancit Canton! Reliable as ever! =)

*While watching the news, I was so shocked to see the effects of typhoon Ondoy...I will continue to pray for the victims of the typhoon...*

PEPPER LUNCH

I've been wanting to eat at PepperLunch for the longest time.  I've read good reviews about it so my taste buds are craving for it.  Anyway, since classes are suspended today (and tomorrow), I decided to have some "Me" time after I delivered stuff at Dressing Room, Power Plant Mall.  I bought some stuff like a new pair of jeans, some shirts at Bayo and lotion at Beauty Bar. Then...had my lunch at Pepper Lunch.

I asked the server what their best seller is and instantly told me that its "Beef Pepper Rice."

My meal arrived "in a blink of an eye!" I love the fast service :) My platter came with paper trimming to protect "me" from the sizzle.  It also has the instructions (which I didn't read for I was so hungry!) on how to eat your Pepper Lunch meal, on how to cook your beef, chicken or salmon.  After a few spoonfuls, I noticed how the others eat their meals - I slowly read the paper trimming  and followed the instructions (HA! just when I'm done eating half my meal!!!)

I also love the orange chopsticks that they gave me.

VERDICT: I love their Beef Pepper Rice!!! I am already thinking of bringing my lolo and sister there to try their food.  It's really good and not too expensive. A must try! =)

Blue Bunny Ice Cream

I always see the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Cart in Price Smart, Macapagal branch. I'm not really an ice cream enthusiast so when I am there I usually order Price Smart's Pizza or Chicken Roll (which is absolutely divine!!!)



But recently I was able to taste Blue Bunny's Chunky Chocolate Chip Premium Ice Cream and the verdict?  YUUMMY! The richness of the french vanilla ice cream mixed with the chunky-ness of the chocolate chips - not just small bits but more of "nugget" sized choco chips!!!! The best!!! I'm dying to taste the other flavors like their take on strawberry ice cream :)

A "Maki" Afternoon

My tutee, Jori, loves to eat California Maki.  Since she just had her Trimestral Exams finished, I promised her that I will teach her how to make her very own Maki at home.

BUSY...

I haven't been blogging for some time now. Been very busy with work, accessory orders and deliveries plus with the new addition to my uber busy schedule - I went back to school. Almost done with my Business Start-Up classes at BMA and now enrolled at Fashion Institute of the Philippines.  I will be taking up Bag Design (and Fashion Embellishment maybe! =)

I promise to update my blog - after I finish my pending projects =)

Anyway, I just have to post something - for this made my day...
