Food and buzz

This is one of my local favorites that I will surely miss when I get to SG: Choco Soft Roll Cluster from Fortune Bakeshop. Unless, of course, they also have them there.

I love choco-flavored pastries with cheese toppings! Yum!

I ate the entire roll in just one sitting last Saturday, coz it will expire the following day.

I'm not complaining though... I love indulging in it

Anyway, this is not the main entry here. lol. This is just a li'l intro.

++++++++++++++++++++

I wanna blog today about the buzz here in PH.

--> I'm happy that Vicky Morales got a product endorsement deal with Pantene. She's one of the prettiest broadcasters here and I admire her for her wit and poise and I just adore all her clothes she's wearing on her TV shows. Hehe. She has been an inspiration and the endorsement is just the icing on the cake.

--> I chanced upon this article and seriously laughed at it. Though I'm not based in Makati City, I'd rather have Binay as the city mayor than some puppet with vast land in Pampanga, who obviously was touted to run for office there so his "campaign manager" can control further the business center of PH. Lito Lapid should learn from this experience.

--> I am one of those who seriously believe there is something more than a friendship between singers Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid. Duh! They've been an item for almost forever and until this day, the buzz is still there. I think Ogie and his wife Michelle Van Eimeren have long been separated and kept it low, just the same with his relationship with Regine. Well, we'll just have to wait for Ogie's "announcement" in a magazine in June.

--> And this entry is nonsense if I have no post about the Gutierrez-Bektas separation. lol.

I watched Annabelle Rama's interview in Showbiz Central instead of Ruffa's in The Buzz. Grabe, it was the first time (I think) the entire PH saw the ever-strong Annabelle breakdown in tears. Here are my favorite lines from the interview:


• (When Pia Guanio relayed the news that Yilmaz will arrive in PH the following day.)
  "Hay naku, hindi matutuloy yan, 'dong."


• "Wala pa namang Philippine Embassy dun. Eh pano kung ma-chop-chop siya (Ruffa) dun?"
  


• "Pinapanood ko nga sa kanya yung DVD ng Chop-Chop Lady, saka yung Hollywood movie na nakalimutan ko ang title... Basta English.... Takot na nga si Ruffa eh."
  


• (Message to Ruffa)
  "Ruffa, kung gusto mo akong matigok, sumunod ka sa Maldives (with Yilmaz)! Mamamatay ako!" (then brokedown to tears)
  

Seriously, Annabelle should be the second Mom of the Year (next to my mom, duh). She is so right to be there and staying firm for her daughter who is hurt but still loving her husband.

Ok, enough of the local buzz =)

I hate Visine Refresh

But I have no choice. They no longer market Visine Cool here in PH. Can't see them on any drugstores, and didn't bother asking the staff at all. I was browsing on stores for months for that eye drop, until I grew tired of looking and settled with the other.

Anyway,

I had lunch with my highschool friend Eva a while ago. We ate at Teriyaki Boy and it was my first time to eat there. Food is really really good! Oh well. It was actually their sauces that tickled my taste buds. Eva and I just had little chit-chats and very little window shop cheverloo after. And she said I'm getting skinny. Duh! It's been a week since I last hit the treadmill.

I'm gonna see her again next week. I'll just arrange a get-together with her and the rest of my HS buddies.

And YOU... You made my heart stomp on the ground.


Listening to: Saliva's Here With You

Just had cinnamon roll for lunch... =(

So hungry!



I want cake =(

Unexpected rain + Ryan's birthday treat

It is April, the middle of summer season here in the Philippines, but it rained heavily last night! I was shopping for groceries then. I stepped out of the store, and the street was already flooded! Grr.... I didn't bother bringing an umbrella at all. No one would expect a heavy rain in summer. Duh! So I waited for the rain to mellow out before boarding home.

Our weather is really funked up. It was pretty late at night then when I went to the grocer. I was hurrying to go home when the heavy rain came. How can you not curse that?

Anyway, I wanna greet my dear friend and colleague Ryan a belated happy birthday. His birthday was on April 5th, and it is Maundy Thursday, so we prodded him to treat us the day before.

These photos were taken last April 4th, when Ryan treated us for a dessert galore at Starbucks. Yum! =)

Starbucks has been our official hangout. If its walls could only talk, they have the juiciest buzz to tell the world about me and my friends.

Ryan's on the left, one of the few guys who can really pull off wearing a hot pink shirt. lol. And the other guy's Leslie. A hardcore blogger, I must say.

Leslie and Ary, the boy-next-door. Haha

Me and Ivy, Ryan's girlfriend. I don't look good here =(

The guy who took Ary's order must be really lonely (or perhaps gay). Google it if possible, or ask your Filipino friends what this word means. lol.

Kill the gay guy for tarnishing Ary's name!!! lol

Anyhoo, thanks Ryan for the delicious treats! =) Heaps of sweetness and joy for you today and for many years to come!

Sad and binged

You know how sensitive to fat my body is? I just skipped exercise yesterday and I gained pounds right away. =(

Two evenings ago, my officemates and I went to Guadalupe for our fellow colleague Amy's mom's wake. She died of cancer, I just forgot what type. Anyway, I didn't look at Amy's mom in the coffin. I'm scared... no, I'm just afraid I would cry. It will be embarrassing coz Amy's a strong woman and I don't know her mom. There.

I was really sad then that I binged on food in the wake. I ate heaps of nuts and pastries, and drank OJ. Then we left a few moments later.
