Choose Your Burger @ The Counter

Burgers are not normally healthy. But the ones you can eat in The Counter are hormone and antibiotic-free beef burger patties that give you 1/3, 2/3 and even a pound of beef choices. So how’s that for a scrumptious, fulfilling, yet healthy-ish burger meal? Located at Unit 1402, The Beach, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Dubai, these custom-built burgers are the bomb! No wonder zomato gives it 4.1…

Ramen is a Popular Japanese Food, Right? : A Wagamama Review.

I was on anime marathon yesterday, and had a sudden craving for ramen, because one of the lead characters was eating it. Yes, I know – I easily get cravings of food when I see it. Anyway, we were trying to find a restaurant around the area that serves ramen. Apparently, even though there are a lot of Japanese restos here in Dubai, yet, only a limited number of them serve ramen. Deym ! I wonder…

https://flic.kr/p/NUV2Cq I just Can’t Help Falling In Love.. with this song!! This was originally sung by Elvis Presley, but you can sing it in different versions that you want. I usually sing this during my wedding gigs, but the more ballad and pop version. For now, I made a ukulele version. Hope you like it!   P.S. : This was originally posted in Instagram, that’s why it was cut for a minute.  

Keep Calm and Curry On, in the House of Curry

For only 300 AED, you get to have a 3-course meal for 2, with 3 main set of main dishes to choose from! It is called The Taste Menu. For…

I’m a healthy foodie-wannabe. But I’m toooooo lazy to cook or make something. Lately, since I am gaining weight, and I’m getting wiser (subtle term for getting old), I wanted to try to eat healthy. But mind you, it’s too darn hard. Haha! Honestly, me eating healthy depends on my mood. So yes, I am in the mood to make a smoothie today, and it’s not really expensive! I call this the power boost…

Chronicles of a Solo Adventurer #4: One OK Rock Live in Manila

And so the quest begins. I went to Manila alone just to see their concert! It was indeed a very busy time of the year because it was year-end close, but luckily, my manager approved my one-day leave. Because it was a busy season, and my shift ends at one, I rendered overtime for around 3 hours, which means, I left the office at 4:30…

Just like Christmas, every Cebuano is anticipating the Sinulog festival or the Feast of the Holy Child every January. It falls on the 3rd Sunday of January and a 9-day novena is offered in preparation for the feast. Since it was year-end close, January was one of those bad-hair-day months for me. I was extremely busy (which I think has some good points), where I needed to render some over time…

Little Do You Know – Alex and Sierra

https://open.spotify.com/track/1almCHdsfikRPfVB9VrEdT Hello! Happy New Year! It’s the first Monday of the Year! Teneneng! I just stumbled into this song on Spotify and immediately fell in love with it! Replay button now raped, eh? ^^ Apart from the ‘soulful’ melody, the honesty and the way this song makes me feel, this song sings how I felt weeks/months ago and even right now. And I am hoping…

Hey there! It’s been dayzzzz. I finally got a chance to stay atuned with myself. They say it helps. And they’re right. Most of the times I surround myself with a whole lot of people just to drown myself in the noise, the clutter and the chit chats. But you know what, when you’re alone, that’s when you know what you truly feel. When I first told my mum that I’d be out alone, she laughed at me for…

2015 was the most unpredictable year so far! One major thing that happened was that I needed to fly to London for a business trip while my passport was out there for my Japan tourist visa application. Thus, I needed to withdraw my Japan visa application so as I could proceed with the UK visa. Since it was urgent, the moment the visa was approved, I flew the next morning, halfway around the world,…

Since today is the last weekend before Christmas (which I was too stupid to forget and neglect), there is a sea of people shopping everywhere! Darn. It seems that I literally, and I mean literally, jumped to the dreadful Christmas rush and I cannot undo it anymore. Therefore, I just embraced the moment. I left the mall around 10pm and I am overjoyed that the line for the jeepney is not that long…

Hi. I’m not feeling good for a few weeks already because of some life changing event. Therefore, I’ve decided to document my solo adventures on my blog, instead of posting it on facebook. Haha! Anyhow, I guess today is the first weekend I went alone. Go figure. Although I am very much used to being alone even before, I guess the term now means more than what it literally means. And yes, it still…

Written by: Glee Segun To the man who broke my heart Who never think twice to tear it apart You never seemed to care How much pain that i have to bear To the man who loved two You’ve left me hanging, how could you? You’ve kept the truth away from me Oh how i thought i could trust thee To the man whom i thought i knew For all these years i’ve been a fool To think that forever will ever come For…

The London Saga : Bird’s Eyeview

I’ve been away from blogging for ages! And I haven’t been able to share to you a lot of my adventures for so long! So, yes, I went to London around British Summertime. ;) It was totally fantastic, awe-inspiring and such a beauty, that place! :) So here’s a few of my first few days of adventure there. My first solo flight, halfway around the world! This is the LeadenHall Market, where one of the…

Hey hey hey! It’s chill Friday today! If you want to just sit back and relax, then this band is for you. I’m a huge indie folk/ folk pop fan and I definitely want to recommend The Ransom Collective to your playlist! They are a 6 piece Filipino indie folk band. You know, most of these masterpieces is not readily available on the radio and it’s a shame that they aren’t! Haha!  But no offense to…
