CAFE HOPPING

Since February this year, I and Kathy hold our business meet-up at a cozy place where we could discuss the ideas and details of the project in the presence of technology and foods!(lol), so we had chosen best cafes in the city offering European dishes : Fagioli along Quirino, Chiccos di Caffe at Roxas Street and Café dimetasse along Torres.

While brainstorming, our stomach enjoyed Italian and French delight pumping so much energy to mind. Chiccos served delicious and fantastic Italian coffee beverages and foods, Cafe Dimetasse served mostly French concoctions. Dimetasse by the way is a French word means a small cup of coffee or espresso. Fagioli's foods are mixture of French and Italian dishes.

At Fagioli, I didn’t eat anything because I had already taken my dinner when we gone there but when we agreed to meet at Chiccos that’s when the crime of food started to take place..haha! I devoured brazo, sandwiches  and garlic bread with plenty of potato chips, I also loved the green tea of Chiccos because it is very relaxing and soothing.

Last night, while discussing yummy foods offered on bistros and other café bars, we decided to go to café dimetasse along Torres because I wanted to eat full loaded European dishes! So there we go.
 my favorite Creamy Carbonara from Cafe Dimetasse. So yummy!
Monti Cristo at Cafe Dimetasse. Monti Cristo is a toasted sandwich stuffed with ham, egg and cheese, so tasty!
The mouthwatering cake at Cafe Dimetasse drizzled with choco syrup!

While I devoured Creamy Carbonara, my friend ordered Monte Cristo, a toasted sandwich stuffed with egg and ham with cheese, the tea is great too. Before we left, we ordered once more (haha), this time with a savory Belgian fries drizzled with lots of parmesan melted cheese.

While on my way home, I had realized how much I overloaded my body system with too much calories and bad cholesterol toinkz…so I prepared a cup of hot green tea with honey before fixing my self to sleep.

Next stop Bistro Rosario.hahaha!!Life is absolutely terrific with FOOD!!

My First Travel Abroad!

Image
Got a taste of real life adventure outside the country! :-D Back in my high school years, I often wondered what's on the other side of the continent, how people lived, what the environment looks like, the culture, the food, the lifestyle and the feeling of being in a completely different place. So I dreamed of going to another land, not necessarily to work, but to satisfy my curiosity and explore new learnings and experiences. Then one day, a good friend, Maribeth Galindo, coordinator of the social science division at UIC, told me to join their group for a leisure trip to Hongkong and Macau after summer break and because my passport will about to expire early next year with no single stamp yet from the immigration, I wasted no time and agreed. For the next three months, I became preoccupied with our itinerary plan, listing down everything I could think for this trip, I also did some research on different tourist spots around Hongkong and Macau and what public transp...

San Pedro Cathedral, stepping on Theological history

Image
San Pedro Cathedral, one of the largest Catholic Churches in Asia, made another history with its newly refurbish altar and tabernacle. The grand renovation, which partly done in Baroque architecture, has a stunning contrast of Gothic and Renaissance designs ushering both Theological and modern influences. This is quite interesting since only few Catholic churches in the Philippines so far use Baroque architecture. The structure is furnished in Auburn color accentuated with panel of Gold shade with emblems of Eucharistic mystery. The tabernacle has a luminous ray of Sapphire and Cobalt blue combinations.       The Cathedral's roof structure is designed like a boat symbolizing St. Peter's humble beginning. According to the Holy Bible, when he was handpicked by Jesus Christ to be His disciple, he was still Simeon, the Fisherman, Jesus then renamed him Peter and was later on selected as the "rock" whom Christ built His church. St. Peter became the first Pope, thus, all P...

Great Schemers

Image
Kate Middleton and her mother, Carole Middleton, can be compared to Sir Thomas Boleyn and his daughter Anne Boleyn. Both great schemers. But unlike the Middletons, the Boleyns were aristocrats. THE BOLEYNS During medieval period, being linked to a King or a future King is like acquiring a large Estate, it would also enhance their standing in the society, so parents pushed their daughters so hard to be near to the royals. Sir Thomas Boleyn was exactly one of them. When his two daughters, Mary and Anne, were growing up, he made it clear they would be hovering around royalty. He sent both his daughters to the French court to be trained as Ladies-in-waiting.  When Anne returned home, she became an accomplished and well-educated woman ready to become a mistress of a King. Her father and uncle, Thomas Howard, the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, moved forward to place her in the English royal court, they introduced the young Anne to the notorious King, Henry VIII. Anne first served as...
