Starbucks: Rekindle the Joy

It's Christmas time once again, Starbucks as usual has there promo of free limited edition Starbucks planner 2013 once you completed all the 17 stickers. Coffee lover or not, people indulge in this kind of promotions, lining up to their favorite Starbucks branch and ordering their favorite coffees, beverages. I dunno. I think, this is a very smart move from Starbucks, you know MARKETING strategies. 

I dunno why I collect them too. There's just this deep sense of gratification once you have collected all of them. Or perhaps the mere journey or process of completing the stickers. It's like a challenge or a game. And i am for the WIN (devil laugh). It makes me hopeful for the future. 

And I am but super excited to finish mine, as of now I have two stickers, 15 more left.  My personal favorite among the three Christmas flavors is the Toffee Nut Latte. Its just too sweet and i'm loving it. It puts me into the right hyper and funky mood.

For my plan to be successful, I asked the help of my ever loving fiancee, so every time we order, instead of one, it will be two stickers. And I want to thank him for supporting me on this. 

Happy coffee drinking everyone!

Looking forward for my Starbucks Planner 2013 :))

Old Penang RS Restaurant

My fiancee and I have been trying different restaurants during our monthsary dates and last November 1, 2012, we both decided to go to RWManila since its walking distance in my place, and we are going to watch Skyfall as well.

We tried Old Penang RS Restaurant, located in 4th floor of the Newport Mall in Pasay. Its like a casual dining restaurant.

By the way, for the curious minds out there asking what does RS stand for, well, I asked one crew there and he said RS stands for "Rasa Sayang" meaning "loving feeling".

Oh well, our budget led us to 2 diferrent food categories.

Noodles and Chicken.

Don Galo's Best Tapa: MATY'S

Have you tried the Best Tapa in town?

Well, try MATY's. This superb place is found in Don Galo, Parañaque City. This Tapsilog family business has been considered as Parañaque's hallmark of fame. As of now, there are three branches of MATY's in Don Galo. The biggest one is under renovation.

What's special in this tapsilog is their tapa itself, its made from HORSE meat. Yep, you read that one right. HORSE meat. It taste like beef but there's a sweet thing kinda gamey in there. Its more lean than beef. It has shorter strands of meat. A unique blend for the unusual palate. It has a deep flavor and color too.

And by the way it is affordable. You can have your tapsilog with 65php only. 

TAP- TAPa (horse meat)
SI- Sinangag (fried rice)
LOG- itLOG (egg- could be sunny side up or scrambled)

Comes with free horse stock/ soup. The best sauce you should try for this tapa is the combination of vinegar, ketchup, rock salt plus chili.

ENJOY :)

CIC: Customized Iphone Case

Just recently, my fiancee and I have been very busy because of my shopping indulgences.

We both bought iphones and I am super crazy with the cases. There are a lot of designs available on the market but are expensive as well.

What we bought first was the OTTER BOX case, the Defender Series which costs us 2,850php each. It was worth buying because it is shockproof. Just what i needed because  I am one super clumsy girl.

We also bought the PARIS case, i just find it too amusing. It costs me 200php at Greenhills.

Back then, I am contented with my cases. 

Not till I saw the jeweled cases.

OH. They are just so fantastic. I love the different swarovski crystals on it, with different adornments. I am hundred percent sure that many women loved it as well, and I am one of them.

At first, my fiancee is very skeptical about it because they are so fragile and the jewels might just fall off.

They sell each case for 500-600php depending to the design. More crystals, much expensive.

Finally he gave in, but in one condition.

Since my fiancee has a very creative mind, he wanted us to make my customized case.
Simply because all the designs available there is the same. He wants something unique for me.

It took us a lot of courage to find the materials needed. Luckily, we were able to buy the raw materials needed in one stall in The Lucky China Town Mall. You can find it near the 168 Mall.

The owner's name is Phoebe, she's Chinese, I can tell. hahaha

She offered me a lot of designs. All we need are there, we just bought them all. It costs us 800php. 

I am so happy that time. And definitely excited with the outcome.

We bought many crystals, pearls, designs, glue, and case.

I am proud with my fiancee and the outcome. Many raw materials were left :) I guess we could make another one.

HERE is the finished product:

THANK YOU! :)

This is for you R.S.
