Cafe Avenue (Imus, Cavite)

We were supposed to visit SeboPacific again last weekend but unfortunately, they were closed. I’ve checked their FB account last October 12 and found out that they are temporarily closed as they prepare for their new menu. Hmmm… interesting! I thought they are closing for good because I heard from one of my agents that SeboPacific is getting complaints from their neighbors because of the problem with parking. Good thing they made an announcement that they will be re-opening after a week. Now, I can’t wait until next week to try what they’ve been cooking. Check out here my first time to experience their food.

Since our plan to have dinner at SeboPacific was unsuccessful, we opted to try this newly opened coffee shop called CAFÉ AVENUE along Aguinaldo Highway. The place looks really chic from the outside and most of their customers are students, families, and young couples. We thought why not give it a try since we are in a mission to find local food businesses like this and promote it to our friends in hope to have a place like Aguirre St. in Paranaque or Maginhawa St. and Teachers Village in QC. So, off we go!

#fortheREZofMAYlife: (the making of) The Ring

I was browsing my phone the other day to delete old pictures when I saw our photo while buying our wedding ring. I’ve been wanting to write a blog about it but because of the time constraints while preparing for our wedding, I’ve forgotten about it.

We bought our wedding ring from RL Jewelry in Binondo. It’s the same store where my husband bought my engagement ring (read here the story of his proposal). He read online reviews and dialogues in chat rooms before visiting the store. Knowing him, he wouldn’t buy anything online or in any store unless he is sure about the quality of the product and if the price is reasonable. One million pogi points for my husband for doing “extensive” research about the four C’s, hehehe. I didn’t have any idea what “Four C’s” is all about until he explained it to me. I super appreciated it that he really took time to research about buying rings.

#fortheREZofMAYlife: Our Wedding Photos

After a month since our wedding, we finally got the first glimpse on some of our wedding photos. These were all chosen by our photographer which he posted on Eye in D Sky Facebook page. So far, I’m liking our photos and I can’t wait to see the rest. Looks like we’ll have a hard time choosing which one to add to our photo album.

SeboPacific: A Must Try!

It’s almost dinner time but you are feeling lazy to cook and you are craving for bulalo, some ribs and thinking of having fruit salad or leche flan for dessert? You thought of going to Tagaytay but wouldn’t want to drive that far plus it’s petsa de peligro? You had too much Jollibee, McDonalds, Yellow Cab and Army Navy that it already makes you retch just by hearing or saying it? Well, don’t be stressed because there is an alternative place to go to that could satisfy your craving for a less cost. Try SeboPacific in Justinville Subdivision Bacoor, Cavite.

I visited this place last night with my husband. He found out about this (I think) through one of his agents. My husband was eager to try this place because of the good feedback he heard while it was my curiosity that makes me want to try their food because I was intrigued when my husband said the staff are tattoo artists. Hmmm… What more can they offer aside from showing their gift by painting the skin?!

Tricycle fare:
15 pesos from the gate of Justinville going to SeboPacific
14 pesos from SeboPacific to hi-way.

Hawaiian Bar-B-Q Tagaytay (The Boutique experience)

I am a self-declared foodie. I like reading food reviews, watching TV shows about food, and recreating some of the recipes in my own kitchen. That’s why when I heard about Hawaiian Bar-B-Q in Tagaytay I told my husband that we MUST try it. I mean, who wouldn’t want to taste their baby back ribs when every blog you read says it is juicy, delicious, and worth every penny, right? So, after months of slobbering, we finally booked in The Boutique and promised to try their baby back ribs.

Staycation at The Boutique Bed and Breakfast Tagaytay

Long weekend at last!

My husband and I just wanted to go somewhere where we can relax and unwind and our idea of adventure for this trip includes slouching, eating, and watching TV so we decided to book a hotel for some staycation experience.

We had a few options in mind but the first on our list is The Boutique Bed and Breakfast in Tagaytay. We always wanted to go here ever since we read about this place. I didn't want to spend too much time on the road either so we just decided to go somewhere near Cavite and so we thought this place would be perfect for our plan.

love 'em all

Some say they’ve met their best friends during elementary days and for some it was during high school. Me, I met them when I was in college. That was sixteen years ago but I’m still excited everytime I get to see them. We never fail to talk about our college experiences, classroom booboos, college professors, the first time we met at OSH building, our taxation prof, recollections (with all the drama), REED professors, famous TV shows, class card distribution, enrollment, PE class (dance lesson, aerobics, basketball and swimming with free virus) and other college memories everytime we have a get-together.

It’s nice to have friends who knows how to have fun with simple things and who have the same interests as you, like dining out (Yes! We love to ~~pig~~ eat out). We seldom see each other lately but we always make an effort to stay in touch and to keep everyone updated of our whereabouts. So, before I get emotional here, let me introduce to you the people closest to my heart, my sisters and brother (It’s you Junjun) from another mother… and father, okay another set of parents.
