| Yours Truly by the Swimming pool, Airbnb, Sky High Condo Berkeley residences, Katipunan ave |
On the last day of July, we had our First monthly airbnb and we got very excited to welcome them that we had preparations all week long. From Maintenance of plumbings to new additions like Telephone line, washing machine, clothes rack, newly improved services all in the price of P1500 a day, P27000 a month. After we had booked the client and oriented them in the whole condo amenities, we took pictures around the pool to update our ad page at Airbnb, the clouds were awesomely dramatic, this was before it rained since a new storm is coming to town it was extremely cold for the season.

jumped from one mall to another to witness and have a taste of these
heavenly blessings.
U.P Town Center
U.P town center is just 15 mins walk from our condo, where you can pass through the former shoppesville, gas stations, churches and villages in the area. The place was lively, kids loved it, it was their day to enjoy and families joined as well.
We joined this festivities by 12:00 pm, since we were informed an event at Heykessy, it was located at 2nd Floor of U.P.
Jack and Jill Fair

The event has the Virtual reality booth wherein people can try on a virtual reality
experience, this kid seemed to be getting the hang of it, while dozens
of people line up to have the experience as well. There is a someone to
guide you so that you get to slip away from reality without getting
hurt.

Some knitting supplies laid outside by the table for the free try of the art.
I found the Washi tapes on the inner part of the store .
The necklaces are priced varying P1000+ above. I truly loved how they
have presented them in a neat manner of polished faux wood.
Some artworks hanging by the wall near the counter.
The counter is located near the entrance, with cashier hiding at the back.
I got here a cat coloring paper to be colored by sharpie pens! Gave it to mom since loved these cool designs.
A customer filling in her paper with colors.
Not everyone had the chance to seat down and color peacefully since
there were not enough table to accomodate many guests that arrived, the
cramped up space made us leave earlier. I can say the organization was
really poor, as people was scattered around having a hard time to find a
place to lay the paper flat to color, but as for the presentation I
loved their store!
On my way outside I found this cute store tickles that looked like the inspired version of Mr. Magorium's wonder emporium store.
ARTNEBULAPH
On our way out we saw a shop also helding a small art workshop the
name's artnebulaph in this shop I get the chance to try their finest
brushes, I tried to paint the calligraphy wordings. Im still a newbie at
it though. I had so much fun and their shop has a welcoming aura as
well as their artists have that master aura win them, respect to the
highest level~
At the back of their shop, I saw these pet beds.
While juxtaposed it is the upgraded pillows with hoods, I was thinking about bringing it to bus at long travel time.
Outside the mall is the free standing shop Lollipufs, they dainty cotton candies at a reasonable price.
Trinoma, Ayala Malls
After UP town we had to go to Trinoma for another client business,
I saw some cool games up by the showroom.
The
nissan academy gaming seat is cool and neat. It lets the mall goers try
on the racing game thats with stats competition. I saw this when we ran
an errand for a business, and the game is fully occupied by players!
Along
with the gaming showroom is exhibit of Festival Paradiso where local
and international food and pastries are displayed on their respective
tables, the place was really busy.
The
month of July was blessedly abundant of food trippings, I am outmost
thankful. Although some of the foods may not be a healthier choice, but
who doesn't love food?
Shake Fries from Victory mall Food Court 2nd floor, Monumento. P35.00 per cup
Twister fries. You
can choose from variety of flavors such as Sour cream, Classic, etc.
and as the name implies shake the container to distribute the flavoring
powder. The place is not too crowded at that time so we get to have a
seat by the food court.
Shawarma House, Fishermall 4th floor near cinemas. P75.00
Sharmarma with Nachos, Plain Shawarma.Long
ago i didnt like Shawarma due to its smell, but when a certain somebody
had made a twist shawarma and offered it in a cafe, I had a really
different perspective about it, before I knew it I tried out different
Shawarma's around my area. This one comes with Nachos in it, while my
best pick in Shawarma is Kaleb's , this one is also a good pick for a hungrie like me.
Breaded Fish fillet, Waltermart raw fish fillet P178 buy one take one.
Home cooked meal breaded fish fillet. Warning

just plain fry.

Double Burger plus fries and Spring Chicken with rice. P160- P150. Tropical hut, Munoz, Quezon City.
This

He calls it the sam and dean meal and prefers to eat it at midnight. He
says midnight is the best since theres not much customer and you get to
enjoy meal more.
Scrambled ice brought
at side street vendors or sari sari stores that offer. Prices vary to
P5.00, P10.00 and P15.00. This little cup bring a lot of happiness to

fails to make every 80 kids and adults to remember the taste of savory

branches may be limited in some areas but this restaurant remained
strong for decades making it one of the most sought for Filipino
favorite.
Grilled seaweed roll ,

When I saw this on the shelf, I was overjoyed to see a good budget

Chowking
food chain has served great fast food chinese delicacy. For me, I saved
a lot purchasing a bundle wherein I get to have a Chicken,
pancit(noodle), chips, and vegetables all in one plate. Great if you're
on the go and for the one fast serving chinese food on the run.
Pork Sisig, Mang Inasal, P99.00.
Jackman, Munoz, Quezon City. This sisig is served in a round sizzling
plate served within 30 minutes, the taste is savory, quite salty and the
servings are enough if you needed just a quick sizzle food. What I
loved about this is the location of this branch of Mang Inasal, Jackmann
gives you all the great treatment since the place is non stressful.
Spaghetti breakfast meal with toast bread. Tropical hut has served us since time immemorial, time has tested on how strong they were on the market despite the numbers of competition around. It is where all of most youths of 80s have been celebrated and treasured, because of that, many people feel nostalgic especially that they kept their original design intact for ages. This Spaghetti meal never did fail to amuse me, it is sweet and savory, with the buttery toast on the side, I close my eyes and remember all the great memories I had with family and food like this can turn back time. I partner this with their hot choco and it is delicisio!
Also their budget meal of 2 pieces Chicken and Fried rice is mmmmm!
Crispy Kare-kare, adobo connection. P145.00 Fishermall mall Pantranco, Quezon City.
An
adobo connection unique dish of Crispy Kare-Kare offers you a super
crisp pork with kare-kare sauce, string beans, pechay, pork strips,
peanut sauce and shrimp sauce. It is a twist to your usual kare-kare
served in one platter, although rice must be added separately. Their
photo ad has sparked my curiousity of how would a crispy kare kare would
taste and It was heavenly! I always go back to fishermall just to take a
bite of this unique dish.
Jollibee Fries adobo buger, free macaroni soup and fries
Jollibee
is Filipinos favorite leading food chain in the Philippines and I was
happy to see that throughout the year they have made dozens of
interesting additions to their menu. Their adobo burger has saved me a
lot when I wanted something that's unique in their store.
KFC Chicken Bucket meals and Zinger burger
with Coleslaw and macaroni salad
Kfc
is my personal choice of food chain. It has become an issue once in my
relationship as to why my bf and I always have a date at KFC and
celebrate birthdays there, my only explanation to that is preference. I
prefer KFC because it has a lot of great memories and the taste of their
chicken is heavenly. My bf and I would usually order bucket meals for
the whole family at occasions and gloomy days or anime, movie days.
I was surprised with their bucket fries served at Katipunan, its literally in their bucket packaging!
Foss coffee, Vanilla Flavor
When
Foss coffee arrived at Hypermarket Sangandaan, It was summer and I
really needed a big gulp of refreshment, then I noticed the long line at
Foss coffee, they served Vanilla which is perfect for me, it tastes
like you're drinking baby's milk, makes me feel happy and younger.

As the staff prepares for customers order, many are entertained to see them cook and toss food to the packaging.
Along the area is the takoyaki stand, where piles of
takoyaki are assembled and ready to be bought, pairing it up with
drinks and its a food bazzar experience to the fullest!
The
takoyaki stand has a snowcone stand to pair up and yes it is the
legendary snow cones, unfortunately i was already chilling cold thats
why i wasnt able to buy anymore.
The Shawarma
stand made a big impression to everyone passing around them, its aroma
is strongly delicious, its hard not to give in to it.
