Capping Off the Week With Venti

I had a very good week.

Monday was not as busy as I expected it to be. The kids were very cooperative and so is my creative juice. I was able to schedule posts for my blogs.

The Pagerank update on Monday was a blessing in disguise. I lost almost all my PR but I was not even worried. I have been planning to shy away from being PageRank obsessed and paid post driven blogger.

Tuesday was great too. Husband and me went on a “date”. We ate lugaw and tokwat baboy! Then I went to check one of fave thrift store, bought a white lacey dress, perfect for Wednesday Whites. Finally had the time to tinker and check the submission at NBC.

Wednesday was blah but still productive.

Thursday was a busy day but fun. My sister from the province was here. I actually asked them to visit us, we really missed them so much. And as expected the house is a roller coaster. So much food, so little time.

Thursday is also bill day, I went out to pay some bills and had a snack at Earle’s.

Today was very productive. I finished the laundry in 3 hours (Thanks to Downy for their innovative products). And that’s more than a week of dirty clothes.

I felt so light, productive and happy on how my week turns.. and with that I treat myself with a frappe! It’s been a while since I had coffee, so this one is a real treat.

Though I wish I can still say it’s a Venti.. I can no longer consume that much coffee..but it’s a good title right?

Thanks Oishi!

This is a long overdue post…

A packaged was delivered to me last March, and I have no idea why. I remembered the post I made for Oishi’s Smart C. They are so generous for giving me samples of their products.

Included in the package was a box of Smart c+ (24 bottles!), Bread Pan in two flavors, Pillows (bat walang Sponge?!? LOL).

Also included were chips and crackers: Ridges and Marty’s (yup the hindi Baboy commercial).

But our most favorite, err, I discovered that their best product (aside from Sponge) is WAFU. I’m addicted to it!

Lola Maria Restaurant is the main dinning outlet of The Legend Villas Hotel. A hotel located along Pioneer corner Madison Streets, Manadaluyong City. A 100% Filipino owned hotel that has been a home for travelers, weekend gatherings or business meeting. The restaurant offers Filipino dishes along with some international cuisines.

Of all the dishes we tasted, I like the desserts best. OK, seriously, they all have a classic distinct taste. The beef are very tender whilst the desserts are just right, not too sweet but enough to give your gastronomic experience a great ending.

You can all have this at Lola Maria Restaurant for 1350 nett PhP per person (maximum of 5 persons). Other treat from the restaurant: Chocolate Buffet every Saturday and Sunday (all weekends of February)
