My Current Addiction

Its not a bag. Its not a shoe. Its not a piece of clothing. Its...



Calamansi Bars from Classic Confections in Greenbelt 5. I love the combination of the sweetness of the powdered sugar and the "asimness" of the calamansi tart filling. A 35-peso piece of heaven! A must try to all dessert lovers.

A way to end the week

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!
Can't stress that phrase enough to express my happiness that my weekday is about to end in 1 hour and 48 minutes to be exact (I get out of the office by 4pm). As I've twitted yesterday, I went home early.. Undertime for one hour. I'm at that point again where work is really W-O-R-K. Its something tedious and just plain boring. I hope to get exciting and interesting assignments in the near future.

So, this morning, I had to somehow drag myself out of the bed to take a shower, dress up and go to the office. I'm just happy that its gonna be weekend in a few hours.. that I will have all the time in the world again to sleep and be a bum for two days.

Lunch hour was approaching, my officemates and I decided then to just have coffee or dessert since we all have baons (I had pasta with garlic and shrimps -- yummy!). We were looking for a place that is quiet and cozy.. Our choices were: Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Greenbelt, Starbucks beside Tower 1 of Makati Stock Exchange, Cafe Breton at Greenbelt and UCC at Paseo Center. Then I suggested that we try the new shop/restaurant of the daughter of our big boss, Classic Confections at Greenbelt 5.

Off we headed to Greenbelt 5 which is just a 3-minute walk from our office. We ordered some of her famous cakes like Nono's Chocolate Oblivion (which I believe was named after her dad), Mango torte and my favorite Banana Cream Pie for the 3 of us to share. My officemates each ordered capuccino while I had Hot Choco since I wanted to lay off the caffeine. The cakes were divine and the hot choco was really something I feel I will crave for in the coming days. I want to take my girlfriends here. I'm sure they will enjoy what Classic Confections has to offer. This is a definite try to all dessert junkies like me..

I now feel fatter after cosuming a million calories from my lunch break.. but its all good! I enjoyed every bite and sip. I will just have to "starve" myself next week.. Haha!

Plan for tomorrow: Movie night with friends at Promenade to watch Dark Knight

Happy weekend everybody!!

Jan's Coffee Break Ver. 1.27

Her question for the week:
What baduy love song do you like listening to?

My answer: Love Moves in Mysterious Ways

Its really not baduy. I think its the most gasgas one. Especially when Nina sang her version of it. I heard our help sing it "Loves mubs, in meestriyus waaays".. with feelings yan ha while she was watching ASAP. It was my favorite since High School.. The original one by Julia Fordham. I really like the lyrics of the song. Kaya lang it has become too mainstream. Naging cheesy na tuloy...

But my real guilty pleasure would be Forevermore by Side A. I remember my high school days when hubby was still courting me. I felt the song was the best description of how we felt for each other.. Naks!!!

How's that for baduy?

Stuff for our room

I really want to de-clutter our room in the next few weeks. There are so many things that I need to get rid off like old magazines, DVDs, old clothes and shoes and other stuff that we are not really using or have lost interest at. There will be a garage sale to be arranged by the ladies at N@W - perfect opportunity. I really want to join... I just hope that I will find time.

I want to give our room a makeover. I feel a need for a fresh start.. or maybe I'm just bored.
First on my list would be some new linens for our bed. I'm OC when it comes to bed sheets. They should all match. From the comforter to the sheets to the pillow case. All should be matching or at least in the same color family. I saw these sheets at Target.com and I may make pabili these to a cousin who's coming home in September

I doubt however if the polka-dot one will get the approval of the hubby but its really nice don't you think? :)

Then some storage boxes to make space for new stuff..



The last two boxes are for under the bed.. to maximize our space

Lastly, I found the perfect design for my dream closet at Ikea. Really really nice. I can imagine this closet filled with my clothes, shoes and bags.

Tag from Sheryll



Dear God, we pray for the quick recovery of all the sick and the dying especially those suffering from LUPUS and CANCER. And to those 700 plus lives who have lost during the Princess of the Star Voyage tragedy during the typhoon last week. I pray that their bodies will be found and if not they will rest in peace. My heart aches for them... Amen.
To those who will be all you have to do is keep this circulating. Even if it’s to only one person. In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by a serious illness like Lupus or Cancer or is still living with it. A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle. Blogs who prayed: 1.) Eida’s Closet 2.) My Precious 3.) Just Me.. Eds 4.) Me and Mine 5.) In This Game of Life 6.) Because Life is Fun 7.) Mommy Talks 8.) Anorexic 9.) Me, Myself and I 10.) A Multiple's Choice 11.) Our Family Adventure! 12.) My Random Thoughts
Please Keep This Candle Going!There will be a cure soon. Continue to have hope and continue to pray.
Tagging Gracie, Pat and Mari
