Annyeong ~

Any similarities between the photos? Yep, you got it right! They are all Korean or related to Korea, at least! Haha! for the past few months, I had been addicted to Korean stuff. I am the exact representation of “kinain na ng sistema.” I will tell you the gist of my Korean addiction in this post and hopefully, I could make a separate post about my annyeong journey. Anyway, my addiction started when my college friends persuaded me to watch Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (WFKBJ). They told me to give it a chance because it will give you a genuine smile on your face. I finally gave in and the next thing I knew, I skipped a not-so-important class just to finish the drama! Don’t judge me! Haha. I had been down for the first quarter of the year and Kdrama is one of my ways to escape. After watching the drama, I found myself asking my friends for more Kdramas. The next drama I watched was She Was Pretty, followed by School 2015 and the list goes on. I am currently watching THREE dramas: Two ongoing - Man to Man (I love you Park Hae Jin!) and Fight For My Way (Park Seo Joon! She Was Pretty feels!) and One finished - Oh My Venus! (I need this for my fitspiration lol!).

And when I got addicted to their dramas, I also got addicted with their food. I want to thank my mom for supporting me with this. She was the one who cooked and bought them all! But I helped her, of course. I searched for recipes and helped her with the instructions. The first thing we did was Egg Roll, next is Bibimbap and the most recent one is Rice Cake (Tteokbokki). I am assigned to cook the instant noodles or ramyeon! LOL! I am also the one who go around Makati and Manila to search for Korean convenience stores or mini mart to buy the ingredients. 

Waiting game

Cafe # 8 for 2017: Sassy Sasha Cafe, Pag-Asa Subd., Bacoor Cavite

I went home one lunch time last term, there were no people and I have no keys. I was really hungry. I had to look for a place to eat. Then I realized that there’s a cafe nearby so I went here. The place was really cute-sy and girly; walls are covered with motivational quotes. But the seats were quite uncomfortable because the tables are a bit low for the chair. I forgot the prices of the food I had but as far as I remember, my bill was about P250 with drinks, pasta and pastries. Cheap, right! The staff was really nice and friendly. The pasta was good for its price. The coffee was just your typical powdered coffee. Their pastries are my fave! It was moist, sweet but kinda small. It was also a bit cold inside because of the A/C. A safe place to have your miryenda and desserts fix!
