Books for Less

Last Saturday was our night to spend time with our sisters. I always look forward to this for several reasons :

1. As a person gets older they tend to take stuff for granted and call me corny but I SIMPLE want to spend time with my sisters even if they're busy and as nature dictates that older siblings don't hang out with younger kids. hehe

2. Always looking forward trying out new places and eating with them.

3. Making kuwento of stuff thats been happening in our lives but mostly

4. I just miss my older sisters as we each have our own lives to live now.

Anyway, for a change Achi decided to pick us up at Tiendesitas instead of Megamall or Gateway. I really don't like going there for 2 reasons: MAINIT and NO centralized AIRCONDITIONING. hay! So Lex and I went to SM Hypermart to will away the time.

We ended up going to Books for Less. When I was still studying in UP when I have long hours of break, instead of hanging around campus, I go to their Tandang Sora branch and just spend hours there. And its amazing how many books can P1000 go. It sometimes amazes our friends how Lex and I can spend hours in a bookstore. (see previous blog entry, you might understand =D)

After almost an hour, we were able to buy two books for half its original price. Quite a bargain don't you think ;D

This is what our room looks like. We still manage to sleep on beds not books ;P

And they are not UP FOR ADOPTION!

Disappointing Kozui

Early this month, Lex, Louisa and I went to Kozui. Even days before we were so excited and had been anticipating going there.

Lex and I got there first and after some time sitting there on the 2nd floor and still no one around to hand us menu cards, I asked Lex to see if its a self-serve kinda place. It was. (toink)

After seeing their menu, I texted Lois, you'd be in for a surprise. hehehehe.

If you have a tiny (And I mean tiny) appetite and takoyaki and some weird tea with bigas or palay can do it for you, then go ahead visit kozui.

We ended up having a great dinner at Omakaze and having coffee at Baangs' (where Louisa went green seeing three geeks with Macbooks hehehehe)

Okay sooooo I cheated, prior to meeting Lex and Louisa, I went to Mc Cafe at Quezon Ave, where I used to have breakfast while waiting for the malls to open after my 7-8:30am class in UP. hehehehe Peach Tart and Chocolate Frappuccino.

Junks

As I was going through some old junks (grade school books, notebooks, envelopes, and more books) looking for more ACRONYMS (eg. ITALY, JAPAN, KITTY hahaha), I came across these treasured junks.

Cafe O

After weeks of waiting, we finally got to try Cafe O at Silver City Motors (Near Tiendesitas and SM Hypermart Libis).

The first floor serves as restaurant that offers (mostly) English food, prepared by Chef Oliver Isidro (Interestingly, he worked with Chef Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver; maybe that explains the very English food) and Pastry Chef Paeng (I love his toffee caramel pudding and there are very interesting desserts, too bad I didn't get to take a picture of the dessert stand/ref; see our pics with them).

Second floor is The Alchemy Bar. It's spacious and not too crowded like the ones in Greenbelt. (maybe because its barely 10pm hehe ;P) But be careful when you get drunk (mataas ang huhulugan mo ;P )

The place is nice, clean (they have their own clean bathroom) and the food was great. I don't really know of other restos that serve English food (baked beans, can there be more English than that?!).

Here's some of the pictures I took when we went there =D

Mushroom Soup (Yum ;P) I love the bread, soft and tasty.

Carrot Honey Soup
Honey Chicken w/ Guacamole Panini w/ Salad
(Lex loved the Strawberry Vinaigrette dressing) and Chips Eggs Benedicts w/ Hash brown
Big English Breakfast

(Eggs, Bacon, Chipotle, Tomatoes, Mushrooms,

Hash Browns and Baked Beans)

Banoffee Pie -- Not too sweet just right =P Toffee Caramel Pudding -- I LOVE this! I can have 5 of this (hehe)

With the cool chefs, Chef Paeng and Chef Oliver
