Hey! So last sunday I was out of the house with the whole family to go on the usual Sunday Mass/The Feast. After that we went to MOA to eat and my in-laws had to take care of some business of theirs.

So I thought I'll share with you guys what I think about Icebergs Ice Cream Parlor-sans-restaurant.

Billed as the biggest talent competition in the world, “Asia’s Got Talent” will light up screens across Asia in March on AXN and will feature some of the region’s most incredible performing artists as they compete to take home the coveted winning title. Biggest because as the name implies, it will not be just one country that will be competing for who has the best talent, but a whole continent. ;D

Hui Keng Ang, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia said, “We have put together a superb panel of judges for ‘Asia’s Got Talent’. This is definitely our most ambitious original series to date and is very much in line with the type of smart, high-quality local programming that audiences have come to expect from AXN."



The judges for the said AXN show are gonna be Grammy-award winner David Foster, UK pop sensation and former Spice Girl Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Indonesian rock icon Anggun and Taiwanese-American pop idol Van Ness Wu *insert fangirling screeches from moi here*

I say that this is a superb line up as we have Mr. Foster who has proven himself time and again with the Grammy Awards that he has won, Anggun being the biggest Indonesian rockstar icon of the 90's and her history of judging X Factor Indonesia and even Indonesia's Got Talent. As for Van Ness Wu and Melanie C., do I even need to say more? :D

UPDATED FEB. 2, 2015:

Oh My God! Being an avid fan of this band among other OPM bands and artists, it's very disheartening to know from the band members themselves that they will be parting ways by 2016 and that this is the last year that the group will perform as one...

Here's their official video as posted in Youtube:

All the more reason to watch them at the upcoming FUSION Concert this Friday at the SM MOA Concert Grounds.

Grabe. Nashock lang ako. These guys have been a part of my teenage years and they will always have a place in my heart.

* They clarified that they'll just rest from the band scene for a while but they'll be back. Whew!

Last December 11 was my husband and I's 3rd Church Wedding anniversary which we both forgot cause- surprise surprise- we were too busy with the holiday preparations and trying to finish delayed works. That's why this January 18th, we tried to have a simple celebration of our 4th Civil Wedding Anniversary by cooking up spaghetti and opening a bottle of booze.

Unfortunately, pichi had an errand that very sunday (would you believe that?!) so instead of relaxing we got out of the house and went to the airport to get his friend Tomu.. But it was still fun cause I had a reason to prettify myself up.



I sticked to simple stuff, and roadtested a few Benefit goodies I got from BDJ Box. I used:

Hapee for Fusion: The 1^st Philippine Music Festival

Music is a vital part of our culture. It may define who we are as Filipino people and this is why it is very important for us to preserve Original Pinoy Music (OPM).

OPM for me is the best way to communicate my feelings, and it lets me reminisce how was the world during the time I heard a certain song. OPM, most especially songs from Parokya ni Edgar, Rico Blanco, Kamikazee and Andrew E. hold memories near and dear for my heart. Those jamming sessions I had with my younger siblings during roadtrips and whenever we get scolded by our dad for doing something wrong, we just turn the cd player or the radio on and listen to these guys(or sometimes I get and play my guitar) and help us through the bad days.

Or what about those cheesy songs that make their way through song requests during school events like... (please play the song to get what I mean.. heheh)


Nung una kitang makilala di man lang kita napuna,
di ka naman kasi ganoon kaganda, di ba?
simpleng kabatak, simpleng kabarkada lamang ang tingin ko sa'yo.
di ko talaga alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito!
ako'y napaisip at biglang napatingin, di ko malaman kung anongdapat gawin!
dahan- dahan nag- iba ang pagtingin ko sa 'yo,
gumanda ka bigla at ang mga kilos mo'y nakakapanibago!
napansin ko na lamang na nalalaglag ang aking puso.
bad trip talaga! na- i- in lab ako sa 'yo!

-Parokya ni Edgar| Maniwala Ka Sana



I just hope that the youth today can still hear and realize the awesomeness that these Filipino artists hold. I'm kinda sad that nowadays when I turn the radio on most of what I hear are clubbing songs or K-Pop, which I can't understand most of the time due to language barriers...



The good news is that FUSION: The 1^st Philippine Music Festival aims to promote and better appreciate OPM especially by the youth despite the entry of foreign influences. This event is considered to be the first ever gathering of top Filipino artists from different genres to celebrate Philippine music.

Yes, I've been reading these for the late part of 2014 and I still really hadn't kicked the habit. I just love reading them and I can't seem to stop cause it's like a continuation of my favorite books like Harry Potter and Twilight and Hunger Games...(okay, call me mainstream and all that jazz. I'll be reading Divergent next btw..)

I usually go for the unusual pairings of Ginny and Draco, or Jasper and Bella, and even Hermione with Draco, or Carlisle or Edward. But sometimes I stumble upon alternate endings of New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, and if you plan to read these, a fair warning to you all: Some of these pieces are Rated M or have lots and lots of smut... Don't ask. ;D

This list is not a ranking of some sort. Just my top 10 faves and recommendations to those who are into reading stuff like me. :D



1. Ripples in Water by sarhea (fanfiction.net)

Summary: A collection of one-shots, moments that cumulates  in an unexpected couple- a Witch and a Vampire.

My Say: Join me in the unfolding of how Hermione Granger deals with the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, or lack of developments after it, and along side that, she has to deal with her parents being dead. Then she goes to Seattle. It's a pretty AWESOME story with a great plot, and somehow, the Carlisle/Hermione pairing is like Oreos and Cheesecake, they just go together perfectly. MUST READ. :D



2. D & G by rowan-greenleaf (Fanfiction.net)

Summary:






3. Sassafrass Junction by MsEeireChastain (fanfiction.net)

Summary: Twice burned, three times as heartbroken. Bella left Forks and returned to Phoenix to start again. Jasper walks into a bar to find a familiar face. He can't believe his eyes, but he likes what they see. Ditto Bella. Mature content, over 18 only, thx!

My Say: Lots of smut. And the things that had happened to Bella after New Moon in this series? I don't know if I can survive it like she did. But If you start this, you'll be hooked reading up until the next book...

What Happens when the Farmers meet the Chefs Community Cookbook Launch | iMunch


HEYYYYAAAA!!! I'm back with another tale to tell for you guys! So last saturday I went to the Cook book launch of What happens when the Farmers meet the Chefs, located at the Producers Market at EVIA Lifestyle Center, Vista Mall in Daang Hari, Las Pinas.



Pretty fun stuff was happening there, and I still had this look of wonder at the whole place cause well, it was my first time there. It feels like Evia Lifestyle center, along with the houses and the pretty homey Starbucks coffee center with a drive thru is much like how it would look like if you're living in the states. Add in the fact that it was pretty windy and not that hot and my day was already perfect. :3

This 2015 experience one of the most anticipated annual festivities in the field of agriculture as Paradizoo re-unfold “Power of Three" (floral, vegetable and agri-livestock fair). Join us from January 10 March 14 featuring an amazing Animal Parade, a gala for this year of the sheep. See different breeds of sheep parade.

I was out of the house to do a few new years errands last Monday (read: pay bills, taxes and all those things) and I also did my mom in law a favor by getting a few stuff for her around Quezon Ave, which led me to trying out said bakeshop sans restaurant- Merced.



Let me just put a disclaimer for you guys in here: I'm reviewing the restaurant aspect of Merced, not the bakeshop part. I have pretty fun and delicious memories with their bread, although those were usually pasalubong by my dear pichi a couple of years ago. Just to be fair and all that jazz. ;D

So it was the lunch hour, thus the house was full and I was subjected to seat in one of their function rooms, which they opened to accommodate those who are in to get some good grub. I did manage to take a couple of shots of the place and it was pretty light and yet kinda cozy, like the restaurant in Aristocrat at Roxas Blvd. They have a wide selection of great breads and you can smell their flavors wafting all over the place. Lalo lang ako tuloy nagutom hehe..
