It's Christmas Season!!

People here in Manila celebrate xmas season like there's no tomorrow! It's everywhere and it's really amazing! Christmas lights, Christmas carol, new clothes, loud Christmas music, xmas decorations! and most of all, FOOOOOOOOOD!!

Our department had a little get together (xmas party) since the whole bank division agreed to donate the xms party budget to the typhoon haiyan victims (including the amount agreed for exchange gift)

Yummy home cooked meals!

Creamy spaghetti, and beef with mushrooms

Embotido (Pork sausage like dish), Salad, Cheese and Sausages

Creamy, Sweet, and Indulgently yummy dulce de leche like cake from The Peninsula Hotel. It was soooo yummy and I specially love the nutty taste.

Cheesecake. Words can't describe how perfect this cheesecake is. Creamy at its finest. The cake just melts in your mouth. Every slice is pure heaven. I even thought of buying this cake every month.

PAL Inflight Meal BKK - MNL

11:35pm trip back to manila (i was excited to go back because i miss my bed, i miss free wifi - in bangkok, there are no free wifi especially in malls)

Menu:

1) Beef Stew

2) Chicken Afritada

I was hungry that night because i wasn't able to take a heavy dinner due to the heat of the city (BKK is a whopping 39 degrees, Manila is only 33) 

My Meal was so sad compared to my MNL-BKK trip, I only had a chicken meat that is as big as a regular spoon. But my parents gave me their food because they ate prior to going to the airport (they ordered beef stew) The taste was ok nothing special, but it was more than enough rather than you but in some other restaurants. I was happy that the bread bun was there again! the  chicken was soft and the rice was a little bit hard but it was snow white (by the way, rice was more than the meat). the vegetables was too soft, i find it hard to eat. 

The Beef stew was great! soft, very very savory and easy to eat.

The appetizer was good! Tuna with winged beam wrapped in fresh lettuce.

then a coconut jelly yum!!

I thought the dessert was the coco jelly but again another surprise thai magnolia chocolate bits ice cream!! YUM!

again, solid as a rock. hahaha

Inflight move: Big Miracle 

Me and Alcohol.

I never liked beer. never.

i prefer cocktail drink over the taste of beer. 

my alcohol intake is not really that exaggerated (for hard drinks). 

although i may be a little over when it comes to drinking wine. or cocktail at lunchtime @ makati. i don't want to be alcoholic and be like a celebrity that falls into alcoholism. but what i like about myself is that, i can control what i drink. :)

My Top favorite to drink:

1) Red Wine

2) Martini-Vodka (Chocolate / Coco-Lychee)

3) Irish Cream

4) Margarita

5) Bombay Sapphire's Gin

donations of red / white wine is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Plum Wine by Kotaro Takamura

The bottle of plum wine made and left by dead chieko,
dully stagnant with ten years weight, hold light, 
and in the amber of a wine cup congeals like a jewel ball


When alone late at night in the cold time of early spring
please have this, she said.


I think of the one who left this after dying 
Being threatened with anxiety of a broken mind,
With the distressing idea of ruin before long.
