February GAH

Late January and February so far. How how the days pass! It seems as only yesterday that I celebrated my 20th birthday (Okay medjo matagal na yun. November nga naman yun).

I don't know where to begin, honestly. I can start with my 2 gigs for Vatel (Calel asked me to perform so I asked my batchmate Jomar to play guitar for me) but then I don't have pictures for proof. (None that is of good quality anyway). Or my valentines date with Alaric! But it was such a fucked up Valentines that I'd rather not talk about it.

AH. How about that time when I visited my sorority sister, Gina '89! Gina owns a rest0-bar at Cubao expo called "Fred's Revolucion".Its beside that fancy shmancy italian restaurant.

Their White Russian is absolutely amazing. For something that costs liek P120-150 (usually white russians that cost THAT MUCH only has half a glass or less.), they give you A WHOLE GLASS. And Gina was kind enough to show me how they made it. (PS. I don't call her "tita" Gina because we're sorority sisters. First name basis kami. And she'd rather that it was that way because she doesn't want me, a 20 year old, calling her tita. HAHA. She said so herself.) For a big fan of White Russian, this was probably the best that I've ever tasted. NO JOKE. And surprisingly, they way that they made it was so simple! They jut added one special ingredient and voila! When you go to Cubao Expo, or you're in the vicinity, this drink is a must try!






This is the Italian restaurant that I was talking about. It's the oldest store that there is here in Cubao Expo. Its yeaaars old. Probably like a decade or so.







The onion rings that dad and I scarfed down. We were only supposed to drink a few beers (white russian for me). We saw the waiter come out of the kitchen and bring this to the table beside us. With
ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION we decided to order one as well.






Yes, both cigarettes are mine. IN MY DEFENSE, THE MARLBORO HAD ONLY ONE STICK LEFT. But yes, I must stop smoking. Especially now that I'm training muay thai and boxing every day. (Surprisingly, my lungs don't give out so easily. I last quite a number of rounds before I completely pass out.)







And here I'm with my beautiful sorority sister, Gina '89. SHe's been my dad's best friend since their college days (My dad is USF batch '91)

Fred's Revolucion is DEFINITELY a place worth going to. My photos don't do the place any justice. You have to check it out for yourself.



Continuing to the next topic. This one is from a reaaaaally old date that we had back in January. Alaric and I absolutely love Greenhills Town Center (our nickname for it: Granada). We always always ALWAYS chill at either Seattle's Best, Soulstice Spa (yes he goes to the spa with me), and d'Amburgers.




There he is acting all single again not minding me. He's trying to beat my score in 2Fuse WHICH IS NOW



DON'T BELIEVE ME?? Check my instagram as proof : zoesandejas2012!!! (Okay so that doesn't really prove anything)













Alas my boyfriend the vicious photographer taking photos of everything in a matter of just 5 muntes. This is only A FOURTH of what he's taken. Oh btw, the camera that I used for this post was a Sony NEX 5 with the 50mm lens. He wanted to steal my camera, huhu. 

A: Mine na lang!
Z: NO! WHAT WILL I USE OF YOU GET THAT?
A: What.. You have so many cameras...
Z: I DONT USE MY SLRS ON TRIPS LIKE THESE
A: ... photographers...

WHAT? SLRS ARE TOO BULKY!! And I don't want to be showy so I bring the mirrorless instead cuz its lighter, smaller, and pwede for concerts (hehehehe).



AAAND GUESS WHAT CAME TODAYYY. A delivery from the French Baker! A BOX OF HOKKAIDO CAKES. OMG. It's similar to the custard delicacies of Beard Papa's but the bread is so much softer. But the custard inside is just as perfect. PLUS THE TOPPING IS WHIPPED CREAM. WHIPPED CREAM!!!!! Beard Papa's doesn't put whipped cream on their custard cakes/bread/whatchamacallits.





If you open it it looks like a flower. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but its pretty cute!







HEAVEN IN A PASTRY.

Anyway. Til next time!
