the glow on the windowpane

We had the most lovely time with all our lecturers during our Christmas dinner as sponsored by the college. It was an outstanding 3-course meal and the conversations across the table were lively and loud, as always. It's nice to know our lecturers outside the classroom as we only meet them two times a week. We tore open those crackers, wore our "eating" party hats and let tour taste buds succumb to the culinary goodness that they offered. Thank you for this.

by eating in London

Just some of the delectable treats we had during our trip. We had some chinese, italian and fast food in between as well.

Obviously our taste buds had the time of their lives. :)

walk a little walk

At Illegal Jack's South West Grill with X and D for some tacos, buritos and nachos.

I had some tacos and had 3 different meat in the 3 shells because I'm such a carnivore. I hate how the stuffings in my tacos run away whenever I try to sink my teeth in them. Haha I'm just a sloppy eater I guess.

I was so stuffed, I kind of felt sleepy after. I think it was either the dim lights or the overpacked stomach that caused the dozing off. It was a really good place to eat after a whole afternoon of strolling around with a 570g camera around the neck.

make damn sure

What my stomach has succumbed to lately. Aside from the usual booze.

happy tummy, sad calves

When a friend of a friend has a birthday, my appetite becomes monstrous. Toffee cakes and sandwiches are just some of the goodness that their flat were filled with.I left with a very happy tummy. Thank you friend of friend. :)

I do not regret the calories. I can always shed off some of the weight with all the walking since traysikads are non existent here. Hello humongous calves!

forget about the reasons why you can't in life

A sweet treat to relieve the sweet teeth.  Thanks muchos to Jenny.
Now to find more eggs and rabbits while I'm at it.

the carpal tunnel of sugar

01 went inside a pastry store to witness the birth of toffee and sneakily eye-ing the free samples...and we scored some!

02 "Go ahead and take a wee cake" she says and I responded "Weeeeeeeeee" (Wee = little, while Weeeeee = it's me smiling from ear to ear)

03 this Smarties cake spells "Happy Birthday to Ate Jewel" all over.

be be your love

What our eating habits have been like over the days... (This is mostly just breakfast or post-lunch munchies, but dinner has been looking great too.)

01 I've recently just discovered my new favorite fruit, say hi to kiwi! It tastes even better with salt I tell you. Don't worry oranges you're my next favorite.

02 Ready cooked meals are most convenient at times. It may be in the form of fried rice, pies or pasta. 

03 I'm not a big bacon fan so I substitute it for hotdogs...with eggs and maybe some oranges on the side. 

04 Fruit-y salad with a really chunky chocolate chip cookie.

friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.

September 2 We crashed at Mel's and had awesome pizza, nachos and a deep dish that we feasted on.
I never knew the deep dish was so thick! haha I slapped some white cheese on it and the next thing I knew I wasn't counting calories anymore. :D

We wii-ed until our thumbs got the nasty blisters. Sonic Hedgehog, Mario Kart and that army tank game gave us the laughs.

we will eat you!

nachos for you!

this is the deep dish I was talking about.

wii baby wii.

this is the most awesome couch i've ever sat on. :)

dessert date + badminton

August 7-- Saturday morning dessert date with Nicole, Eva, Emma and Madz at Fudge in Banilad, Mandaue.

I am particularly surprised how it's home-y resto style is located just by the road so it's conspicuous enough for people to go and try their delectable dishes. Ok so I forgot some of the names, my apologies.

Kit Kat Cake

Linguini Pomodoro

Linguini Pesto

Carbonara

In the afternoon, I hanged with Julz and her family at Patt's Badminton Court. I am so sweaty that in my 15 minutes of cycling at the gym equates with 5 minutes of badminton especially when you're up against Julz or Echan. *eeeeviiillll*

I noticed that while I was playing badminton, I make this kind of indescribable seriously funny sound. I even do some leg kicks while I'm at it which actually means that I had fun.
