C2 Classic Cuisine


Whenever we go to our "unusual malls" (malls na minsan lang talaga puntahan like once a year) we also try to check stores and restos na dun lang meron or wala sa usual malls namin. Robinsons Place Ermita is not our usual mall but its my college mall! I used to go there during lunch breaks because literal na tatawid lang ako :) But Rob Place is so different now, I can hardly recognize it. Good thing, andun pa din ang Rustans outlet store which I really love.


We picked C2 Classic Cuisine because there are no nearby branches to our home. I love the warm modern interiors and the ceiling.

Mrs. Panda's Foodie Reviews:
- how can you go wrong with crispy pata? this is really yummy! nut ang laki lang ng buto
- the kanto food is yummy too but i still prefer the sweet spicy sauce of the real kanto food sellers :)
- servers are atttentive and nice :)

May 2015 part 01


How are you?! Were you stuck in traffic too? Payday friday! I saw the news earlier nad super traffic kahit late night na :(  ano ba nangyayari sa traffic issues natin? Kalokers.


We had dinner at Chili's earlier, and pang 7 kami kahit 8pm na. Dati pag past 7:30 pm konti na lang ang waiting and marami ng halfway patapos sa dinner. Left ATC at 10:30pm and puno pa din ang parking. Thirdy fell asleep while on our way home and luckily tulog pa din siya! nagtuloy-tuloy ang sleep niya! Yehey! LOL :) I love Thirdy but sometimes he drives me crazy! Unlimited energy of a 4 years old boy.
Now, he is sleeping like an angel on his own bed (sofabed) at a corner of our room which he claims his "bedroom"  and I can continue with my research for the surprise 40th wedding anniversary of my parents :)

Boracay vacation on a rainy season part 3



For every trip to Bora, I always make sure I have one dinner buffet during the trip. I usually picked the day before our trip so if ever, disastrous ang dinner namin hindi masisira the rest of the trip. And I have enough time to rest the following day before our flight since our flights are usually the last trip or 2nd to the last. The Beach Cafe of Le Soleil Hotel is pretty popular at Station 2 Beachfront area and for less than 500 bucks per heads, we decided to give it a try.

How to prepare a Ruby Wedding Anniversary!


My parents' wedding anniversary is their 40th next year and we're planning to surprise them with a dinner party :) I know most couples celebrate the 25th and 50th but I believe $0th is a big deal too! :)


Here are some of my pegs :) I'm extra careful in filtering them or else it will look like my own wedding 2 years ago.
