Feel Alive

Something good is up in the music scene lately and I have it in my playlist in loop almost all of the time. You know the feeling when your energy is just running below the normal and you need something to fuel you up and energize you? Music is one of the best solutions to that! Just have your iPod or your smartphone with you and plug in those headphones on and you're up to enjoy your day listening to real good music to get enjoy and make the most out of your day. I have been listening to the very nice and groovy beat of "Skydive" and I can just have it and "Alive" on loop together and I'm pumped up. Makes me feel like I want to be DJ as well with their music(I wanna be one, really! I wanna be a lot of things I like and admire. haha!).

Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes

Our family went out on a weekend all together and something that wouldn't be gone is for sure is... food! We already had lunch and was looking for some delicious dessert to complete the experience. Good thing there is Banapple already in SM North Edsa's Sky Garden, the closest one to our place. It was past lunch already yet their place is a bit small and jam packed with customers. Nevertheless, we were still able to have our cakes and pies cravings solved. It was such a guilty pleasure for me since I am trying to watch my diet so that going to the gym won't be waste. I guess sometimes we should treat ourselves something good so that we can still achieve our goal without sacrificing much of our craving and have more eagerness to do it. Well, it will be a long time before I will visit the store not because I don't want their cakes but, just to make sure I will be able to achieve my fitness goal for 2014.

Cold Stone Creamery

After hitting the gym, my older sister and I went to SM North Edsa. While waiting for our parents and sister, we decided to try out this Cold Stone Creamy. They had us taste almost all of their ice creams so that we can decide better what to order(we actually enjoyed tasting almost all of them. Haha!). As usual, I asked for their best-seller and it just past me(didn't actually get what the guy said) and chose Coffee and Dark Chocolate(I was just choosing what I know for sure is good *wink*) while my sister chose Choco Truffles and Butter Cake(that's what I remember). After paying for what we took, we saw the signature creations poster and stared at it. We should have order that! No regrets though, Their ice cream really taste good. Probably something to go for if your looking for great ice cream. Anyways, we enjoyed it :)

Good Personal Outlook

It was already a habit of mine to get a facial care so that I could feel good about how I look like and just the feeling the your face is clean. It was supposed to be monthly thing for me but I missed two weeks from the scheduled date. I was just feeling that its not yet time for it but, the time has come to get some facial derm and feel good about yourself. From my experience, the first the I had it was really painful. I was like to what did I do wrong to the person whose working on me to hurt me this bad. Well, as they say...No Pain, No Gain. It took me a year to do it again then, I already got used to it. It's just temporary pain and that overcoming it is such a good feeling. Knowing especially that it is good for you. Now its like easy breezy(LOL!). If you have the guts, why not give it a try, the people here knows what they do and will inform each and every step of the way so that you can achieve the best results. Feels so good when you know your face is clean(ayt!).

Yabu House of Katsu

I have been going to Yabu for the third time already and it’s just now that I am to write about it. The first time I checked out this place, I was hesitant because I am not really a huge fan of Japanese cuisine. I have eaten katsu's before during college days and that's all of it. It was just my workmate who wants to dine here that pushed me to try it out and I did like it a lot. Their servings are big, really authentic Japanese cuisine, very flavorful and delicious dishes, cool ambiance plus they have unlimited white or brown rice(your choice, both are really tasty), fruits(watermelon and pineapple) and cabbage! I really don't even feel it as a cheat meal after working out in the gym because instead of ordering Katsudon, you can pick Katsu sets(chicken katsu for a much leaner meat than pork) and pound yourself on cabbage(so you can stay away from carbs). Their serving is so big that I'm just half of my food and I can feel that I'm almost full. Their meet slices are not 0.5inch less so its really big than the usual you can see around plus, it is so perfectly cooked. They have sumptuous sauce that you would make before your meal as part of the ritual(that's what their servers actually said) and a very friendly and accommodating staff that will attend to your needs and will proactively ask you if there will still be anything else you would like to have. I guess this things are the reason that I keep on coming back in Yabu. You will really enjoy your food whoever you are with and whatever occasion you might celebrating or if you're just looking for a great place and food to dig in.
