Functionality.

I am currently an out of school youth, unemployed and jumping around cities exploring. In simple terms, I am pretty much a bum. My friends always encourage me to blog again, so maybe this time, I'd give it a shot. Again.
Here's a quick outfit and foodie post!

Although my Jeffrey Campbell shoes seem loud and attention grabbing, they still could pass for casual, everyday shoes since they are so comfortable, wore them from lunch time til midnight. 12 hours to be exact and I survived. It was just like walking in flats. I am PRO comfortable shoes now, no matter how great it looks if i can't walk in them, I ditch them. Ahhh this made me want more JC shoes! I am in love. On another note, my Givenchy Nightingale bag is my company whenever I travel, I used to find it high maintenance coz of the delicate lambskin leather, it has stood with me despite the heavy load and it is very easy to carry with the shoulder strap with it.
These 2 are just my favorite things right now, just thought I'd share.

We had breakfast at the famous Robot Resto and Lounge. It was early in the morning so no one was really there, we just wanted to experience the place and give it a try. The breakfast menu only had few selections and was priced decently. The interior of the restaurant was very futuristic and nice although it is no longer maintained, the service was extremely slow and our food was served after an hour (no joke). The food was good though, it was light but hearty and the presentation was lovely.

Breakfast: Japanese Omelet at Robot

We have been wanting to try YABU House of Katsu at SM Megamall Atrium ever since, people have been raving about it. Alas, I know what the hype is all about now. I ordered Hire Katsu, it is a lean pork with the fat trimmed off, with sides of unlimited cabbage and Miso soup. I tell you, my katsu was so soft, it melts in the mouth, my friend ordered the same thing, and didn't even know she had pork if i did not tell her, all the while she thought she was having chicken, yes it was that lean and soft!!! I would definitely come back for more! I enjoyed my whole katsu experience.

The best Hire Katsu at Yabu

good food and a happy tummy

It's time for me to share about the food. Everything was well provided all the time at cruise ship and... room service is free, always good food at your reach.


smoked duck


tiger prwans

lamb




chicken tenders in thai sauce

and good desserts




For now all I can think of is dieting after pigging out and having to think about what to eat 24 hours a day for 7 days.

cruisin'

I have been disconnected from the internet for a week!! I went away on a vacation to the Caribbean! It was a 7 day cruise with the Carnival Dream ship. It's humongous, it is Carnival's largest ship and it's the 2nd largest in the world!! They were like 4000+ guests and 1000+ crew members on board but you barely see people crowding. I must say it was the best vacation I've had so far. We went to Cozumel, where the water was so blue I felt like it connected with the sky, next was Carnival's island in Isla Roatan Hondurras, it was just perfect for a lazy day in the beach, and we went snorkeling in Belize where the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world is and finally, I celebrated my 21st birthday in Costa Maya, Mexico. Everything was a great experience I would never forget.

In the ship, you would never get bored, there are always a lot of activities, at night there are always shows in the theater like street dancing, broadway, juggling, and a magic show. The food is beyond delicious, there are a lot of choices, there is a 24 hour international buffet and a sit down restaurant.

It was an overall the best experience, so if you're an eye for vacation, consider cruising as an option.

anniversary

Rj and I celebrated our Anniversary. We had dinner at Freddy's.

this is the debut of my nine west shoes. got them 5 months ago and never really got the chance to wear them until today. I must say, they are not comfortable at all. =( i have to break them in first I guess. =p

Say hey, it's Rj.


Here's some old time favorites:


Baby Back ribs


Tenderloin Steak
(it looks like a hamburger Pattie, but it isn't, it actually is good)

We had this for dessert. This is not an all time favorite, it's my first time to try it actually.

Freddy's Magic (something like that, forgot the name)
Ice cream wrapped in thin sponge cake, deep fried and top with whip cream and strawberry and chocolate syrup.

Most Filipinos eat steak and almost anything with rice.

I was craving for steak so asked Mom and Bf that we have lunch at Al Dente, a local italian restaurant coz my taste buds were screaming for their Tenderloin steak.

Mom and Bf ordered their Steak Florentine

quick post of everything

Had a very short trip to Manila last Tuesday, almost half of the day was consumed by insane traffic. We went from Pasay to Ortigas. For lunch, we had Persian food at Arya in Podium, I was at first pretty sceptical about it and all, but after the food came, it was satisfyingly good. After which, went for a little shopping at Greenbelt.

this Kabab platter was surprisingly good.

the lamb was okay.


different kinds of Kababs.


their rice was different. It goes well with the Kabab though. It doesn't taste as bad as it looks.


some shopping at Greenbelt.

bad self

I FEEL FAT. TANANANANANA.
I AM FAT. =P

Had this outfit last Sunday, family and I went to lunch. Native food and all...

So baked oyster aren't really of native descent. But it tastes DECENT. haha whatever!

"kinilaw" (raw fish cooked in vinegar, with onions and pepper)
