Brida Power Plant Mall, Rockwell
I always appreciate restaurants that have flowers on the table. This is such a simple one but it’s among the best I’ve chanced upon. :)
Such a cute chair!
Pakoy’s Liver Paté — So good! It’s actually already a [light] meal in itself!
Dinggoy’s Best Pasta — It’s got a hefty amount of Spanish chorizo and is...

Paris 2010
Paris had such gloomy weather for most of the time we went, so I’m so sorry if the photos suck. </3
But one day, I’ll visit again. And take lovelier photos. That’s a promise. :)

Omakase Ayala Triangle Gardens, Makati
Celebrated Valentine’s with my single girls and boys, Seany, Hannah, Rochelle, Terry, Quino and Koko. And my sexy girl-crushie, Meggy, though already taken, celebrated with us too (and actually surprised us by paying for everything — THANK YOU, HONEY!).
And I’d really just like to say that this has been THE BEST Valentine’s...

Such a quaint and cozy cafe along the busy streets of Makati. It’s sort of hidden, but not really… Love this place to death for its free WiFi and absolutely delectable comfort food. :)

Ma Maison Greenbelt 2, Makati
Felt like getting some authentic tonkatsu, and Ma Maison surely didn’t fail.

Camembert Cheese Fritters - these are also really good! The vinaigrette that goes with it is to die for!
Tonkatsu Curry - one of Ma Maison’s specialties, this is THE BEST TONKATSU CURRY I’VE EVER HAD...

My sister messaged me this.
marjiii:
When your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive. Because you are, and that pain you feel; that’s life. The confusion and fear - that’s there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.” — One Tree Hill
Best sister ever :)

Banoffee Pie - one of the best I’ve ever had! :)

10 Dove Street Sto. Niño Village, Banilad, Cebu City
Quaint, little, hidden. Three words to describe this little home/café. Not-so-secret anymore, 10 Dove Street serves healthy meals that cost less than two hundred bucks! They have soups, salads gourmet sandwiches and cakes for that sweet craving after a good, hearty meal.
I love everything about 10 Dove Street! It’s cozy, quiet, and...

Before you can grow up, you must fall in love 3 times.
Once you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more.
Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as any less than you...

New Year's Resolutions

1. Love myself.
2. Live a healthy lifestyle. (Plana Forma + healthy meals)
3. Take more lovely photos. (Get ready for another amazing year, Canon...

This 2012, I hope...
vivatregina:
That you fall in love with someone who loves you—really loves you. (Or fall even deeper in love if you’re already there.) That you finally, finally fall in love with yourself.
That you breathe and allow yourself to be silly every now and then. That you don’t take everything so seriously. That you don’t forget how to have fun. That you never start thinking you’re too old for it.
