Easy Like Sunday Morning

It was mi mama's birthday yesterday so we decided to

go out and have lunch at this restaurant my neighbor owns.

EVOO is what it's called. It stands for Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

The place was really cool. Not too shabby for a guy who's only 21!

As much as I wanted this post to be about the food, sadly I wasn't

able to get good food pics since we chowed down as soon as our orders

arrived. Our bad! So let me just settle for an outfit post instead! haha

 This is what I usually wear during Sunday Mass.

It's either a skirt or a dress. I used to hate it when my mother made

my sister and I wear skirts while the other girls got to wear pants. Made

me feel really old-fashioned. Which was not how I wanted to dress at that time.

But I really do appreciate how my mother wanted us to look proper and

lady-like. It was really all about respect.

 Chose this wall as my backdrop because this is what I call ART.

Or rather the only art I am capable of doing. haha! But really, the wall spoke

to me of something deeper than just shooing people off who were not

members of this so called HGS club/society. It spoke to me of authority

and the truth of social hierarchy and how white paint looks really

good on a gray background and I'm rambling and just realized that

I don't know jack shit about art. It's time to ignore the crazy girl.

 So here's a picture of me looking like I'm really enjoying

the scorching summer heat and the wind in my hair.....

 And another one of me looking pretty clueless or stoned. Your choice.

 After lunch, we rushed off to our new favorite cupcake place, Sweet Little Things.

It was funny how I looked like the cupcake I ate. #Neigborhoodies

And an obligatory shot of the B-day girl herself posing with her

favorite Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcake!!!

She would kill me if she sees this picture of how I freely decided

to add a tiara on her head. Thank God she's got a great sense of humor? hahaha!

But hey, she's the Birthday girl and a great mom so I say the woman deserves to feel like 

Princess Di for a day with a cupcake and a glimmering tiara.

 

Happy Candles & Cakes Day, Mama!!! Kiss Kiss Hug Hug xxoo

Birthday Secrets

Lagged post but I'm back now! Exams week is finally over and summer's here! Mwahahahaha! Just thinking about all the fun stuff I want to do (or not do) for this summer makes me all giddy inside. But more on that later. I'm giving myself a well-deserved pat on the back for surviving my third year in college and turning the big 2-0 without resentment! (yeyy me!)

So here's a bit of a photo diary for what went down during my birthday. As always, I spend it with la familia. <3 Didn't really plan the whole thing out but we ended up eating at one of Cebu's best-kept secret restaurants. That's because you have to know where it is to know that it actually exists. haha!

 The fish fillet I had was divine! I am not over-exaggerating when I say it melts in your mouth because hells yeah it totally did melt in my mouth. I'm sure to have that again when I go back.

 Their Uzobuco (I don't know if I spelled that right) is a customer favorite. That was some goood tender beef. My grandma even opted to suck out all the marrow. haha! #Neighborhoodies

And of course there's the mandatory two ice cream scoops for desert for ze birthday girl a.k.a MOI!

 Apparently the owner collects all these bad boys. A BMW, 2 Ducati motorcycles, 3 ATVs.. What's not to like? This one reminds me of one of the Autobots from Transformers. Rock on!

The next little secret place we went to was this newly opened cupcake shop called Sweet Little Things. I swear if you didn't know where it was then you wouldn't even know it existed, too. Is this the new business trend now? Keep your cafes and restaurants a secret and hopefully people will wander off into deserted street corners and find out about you? Hmm.. Sounds a little shady to me but then what do I know? haha.. All this girly cares about is kinky cuppycakes!! Nomnomnomnomnom..

 My favorites are Monkey Business and Cookies & Cream. But then their bestseller is the Flourless Mudpie.

 Le mama looking like a prim and proper lady.. Oho oho oho

 Random girl gets to be in the shot, too. haha! I give you claps for studying real hard! Clappity-clap!

Read all three books of The Hunger Games trilogy for 3 straight nights (instead of studying. Bad girl!) Have you guys watched the movie yet? I've watched it thrice already :( How obsessed am I?

Feliz Navidad

I know it's kinda late to be posting this, but hey, it's practically still Christmas in our house. And I just wanted to share how good my mom was with all the decorating. We're so proud of her for having her first cupcake orders! She was slaving away the whole day baking 10 dozens of those yummy little monsters.

This year, we decided to keep our Christmas Eve as simple as possible compared to our last Christmases where we were practically stuffing our mouths with every food in sight until midnight. This time we had nachos with spicy salsa! Muy caliente!!

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas as well. :)

This is the cutest gift ever! Ready to make cookies :)

Does your house look like Disneyland on Christmas, too?

The Cupcake Dilemma

You know you've had one too many cupcakes when you're having trouble zipping up and getting in your pants. I checked the weighing scale today and it basically told me I needed to lose some lbs. I gained 10 pounds :(  I wish my mom would stop making them. She makes a fresh batch every single day!! Quite hard to resist really. But I do not regret eating those muy muy delicioso cupcakes! They were a little piece of heaven.

But seriously you guys, I need to shed some weight 'coz I can't even hardly fit in my school uniform anymore. And those uniforms ain't got no spandex in them. So you can imagine I have to suck it all in just to close everything up. It's no fun at all. But serious time is serious time. So goodbye for now cupcakes :(

Chocolate Marble Cupcakes

Salivating right now..

Do you wanna eat cupcake with me and hope that we lose weight by chewing? xo
