Rai's Bday Salubong - Pyromusical

This was actually my birthday surprise for him that he found out cuz I had a slip of the tongue. I bought us tickets to the Philippine Pyromusical competition for the 12th of March. Luckily, we had the day where China and Australia were performing. 

Overly eager boyfriend who can't wait to see the fireworks. He couldn't sit still prior to the start of the performances.

The Shrimp Bucket: Date with Rai

There's this restaurant that my uncle Calel has been telling me about. Rai isn't fond of seafood so we never really got around to try it. I was finally able to nag him enough to go with me. Unfortunately, he didn't eat. Fortunately, there was more shrimp for me. HOHOHO

They have two branches. one in Ground Floor, Grand Hamptons Tower 1, 31st Street, corner 2nd Avenue, Fort Bonifacio Global City, 2nd Ave, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila

Another at Ground Floor, UP Town Center, Katipunan Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City

The one Rai and I went to is at Second Floor, Il Terrazzo, Tomas Morato Avenue Corner Scout Madrinan Street, South Triangle, Tomas Morato, Quezon City

The place was pretty small. The moment we opened the door, the scent of shrimp overloaded our olfactory system. It smelled so scrumptious.

RECALCULATING: TAGAYTAY STAYCATION | 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

As some of you may know, Raymond and I became official on March 16, 2015. For our anniversary this year, we decided to have a staycation at the Summit Ridge hotel in Tagaytay.

He was a very giddy boy on the way to Tagaytay. I tried taking a "Fast and the Furious" kind of shot but he kept on making weird faces.

So I gave up trying to take a serious photo of him.

KYRA'S 20TH BDAY AND ONE HELL OF A RIP-OFF

So my sister celebrated her bday last March 1st. She told me that she's always wanted to dye her hair blue so I decided to send her to the salon as my bday gift for her.

Normally, we go to Peps of Famous Salon (he's been our stylist since we were kids) but he was out of town that day. I've been hearing a lot of good reviews from a certain Salon (I'm not going to say WHAT salon, though. I'll let you figure that one out) so I decided to book her there.

RECALCULATING: CAFE TRAVEL

I was in the area of Taft recently (I visited my grandmother. You can find the photos here) and decoded to visit my fraternity brother Allan '93 in his new cafe. Cafè Travel gives this Korean Cafè -Coffee Prince Vibe. Its so homey, I could stay there forever. I remember Brod Allan consulting me about certain coffee drinks a few months ago (to which I could only answer questions about whip cream since we didn't tackle coffee in Pastry school.). He was surprised that it took me this long to actually drop by.

Day 2

Day 3

And what is a Singapore trip without a visit to Universal Studios? It was our second time here (our first time was here) and honestly, nothing has changed. Okay, maybe there was one new ride but we didn't bother lining up for the new Puss in Boots ride.
