SMX Convention Center Manila: Philippine Travel Mart 2019 - Happy 30th Anniversary!

Happy New Year, Super Folks ! 2019, you're so colorful and super thanks for the great memories. Come on 2020, let me give you a big hug. Let's create beautiful stories too, with my family and friends. The last year reminds me of this cliché, " Time flies when you're having fun ". Well, it was indeed a fun ride! First four months were bumpy, there were rough nights and hard days, and then latter half became better. Praise God! I don't wanna brag but traveling to many places in my country, the Philippines, from good to superb spots, always helps me to speed up time. You know what I mean? It helps me to forget my worries and simply enjoy life, without judgement and negative thoughts. It's a very effective hobby and already part of my life. Hopefully my next trip is around Southeast Asia. Malaysia or Brunei? Can I have both? Like everybody, I'm still asking myself, is 2020 the start of a new decade? When does the decade end, 2020 or 202...

Restaurants + Short Reviews: Banapple, Yoshinoya & Denny's Philippines

"Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!" Yes! You heard it right! Like the classic Mariah Carey's " All I Want For Christmas Is You ", expect, this season, we'll also hear NSYNC's " Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays ", every day and everywhere, from malls, parties to radio stations. Let me not forget Justin Bieber's " Mistletoe ". Undoubtedly, they are our anthems and you know, I can only feel contentedness every time I hear these Christmas songs. I just can't help but smile and thank God for everything. There's indeed no room for negativity. In my country, the Philippines, Jose Mari Chan's Christmas songs such as " Christmas In Our Hearts " and " A Perfect Christmas " officially kick-start the season. Oh my, I can even hear his cool and beautiful voice in my dreams. It's true sweet dreams! Banapple Pies & Cheesecakes (Circuit Makati) Merry Christmas, Su...

Short Restaurant Review: Conti's Bakery & Cafe (Robinsons Place Manila)

"So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year but... I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)" Sounds familiar? Perfect! You got it! This is actually part of F.R.I.E.N.D.S theme song " I'll Be There For You " by The Rembrandts . On the other hand, indeed, there are still a lot of millennials who won't get what I'm talking about. Right, Super Folks ? And that's totally fine. If you're a 90s baby, let me guess, you're a fan? How about this, do you have friends? Because if you have, for sure you will love this iconic American sitcom television series. Good thing, despite of its f...

Short Restaurant Review: Torch (Circuit Makati)

Image
Last night, I was online and badly thinking of you. No, I'm just kidding. I was really asking myself, how will I start my new blog post? Voila! And I saw this on Google Images , "On this day, the sweetest being on earth was born. Happy birthday to me!" , which I find relevant, thus, might as well include this on today's short restaurant review. I don't know but, I can freely say this to myself every year. Perhaps, I could say not only the sweetest but also one of the nicest earthlings. Loud and proud! However, just to be clear, it's not my birthday today. Yeah, sadly. The photos that you will see were taken over a year ago. Let me call it, "little throwback" . If you're wondering, specifically when was the throwback. Okay, I will tell now. August 17, 2018. That was the date, when me and my family went to Torch Restaurant in Circuit Makati to celebrate my birthday. It was unglamorous yet practical. We simply en...

Short Restaurant Review: Premier The Samgyupsal (Mabini Main)

Rain, rain, don't go away, come back please! It's already wet season in the Philippines but there's still water crisis in some parts of Metro Manila. I guess, even though I really don't like rainy days, I'll still pray harder for more rain because everyone badly needs it. Everyone needs to take a bath, drink water, brush their teeth and wash their clothes. Perhaps, it's also the best time for the government to think about building dams and for the people to be sincere about conserving water. Indeed, every drop counts, so let me share one simple way to save water. Reuse bathwater for flushing . Easy, right? On a lighter note, Super Folks , how are you today? How's life? Hope everyone is having a peachy day. Just remember this, always train your mind to see the good in every situation . What's my next topic? Well, food blogging is not yet over, in fact I'm now figuratively cooking another short restaurant review. Look at the picture a...

We have a choice to always choose happiness and positivity. Thus, no matter what, let's keep smiling and laughing, okay? Hello, Super Folks ! How's your lunch?
