Walking CHAM

Tuesday, September 25, 2012

SAD. I haven't updated my blog for more than a week already as I have been busy with work. MasterChef: Pinoy Edition will finally air! (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to reveal the date but will do soon)

Despite the busy week, I have allotted my very short free time to write about... MY NEW HEADER!!! Huraaaah!!! Same text but different image- a walking/traveling CHAM :) Naks! Kamukha ko diba? I'm so proud that this image was sketched by my MAMA! :)

How to RENEW your EXPIRED PASSPORT

Saturday, September 15, 2012

Requesting for a new passport or passport renewal is as easy as (steps) 1, 2, 3. You can now conveniently get an appointed date, time at any of DFA's two hubs- their main office in Macapagal Boulevard & 7th floor of SM Megamall.

DFA Consular Office in Macapagal

My passport & Mama's will expire on February 2013 and because passports unofficially expire 6 months before their actual expiration, we will not be able to join our family for our Hong Kong trip this November if we're still carrying our old passport so we have to renew it before our scheduled vacation. My first experience of applying a passport was of the year 2008 at DFA's old office where it's disorganized & chaotic so basing on my past experience the new process is better.

TRAVEL CHARGER for CELLPHONES

Friday, September 14, 2012

I'm a self confessed tamad! Tamad to charge my cellphone, so I always end up with a dead battery whenever I'm outside, it's a hassle especially when I'm traveling. My boyfriend gets really irritated when I run out of battery so he keeps reminding me to charge before leaving the house or office. But because I'm clumsy, I often forget (Oooops) so he had a brilliant idea of giving me a.... TRAVEL CHARGER!!! *Clap! Clap! Clap!*

The Solbrillo Cellphone/Ipad Travel Charger is God's gift to lazy girls like me! Exactly what I need lalo na that my 2-year old cellphone has a very short battery life span - Babe! Next time new cellphone naman! :)

He bought it in V-Mall Greenhills, price is around Php650 (not bad!). Aside from Blackberry cellphones, it can charge iPhones & iPads and even cameras too. Plus it can double as a flashlight! (sosyal!) The charging time is surprisingly fast, it's handy & very light.

So dead cellphone no more! Goody! Thank you Mike for the gift (I just hope I won't forget to charge it naman, hahaha!)

The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind...

September 2 Remember Part 4

I'm happy that Mike & I shares the same interests when it comes to events/shows, and one of those was watching The Phantom of the Opera live! The moment Mike heard about the good news, he immediately bought tickets, April 18 to be exact just so he can reserve good seats. It's his birthday gift to me, saktong sakto sa run ng musical :)

The Phantom of the Opera is the longest running & broadway's most popular musical show and I'm glad I witnessed it. Huraaaah!!!

Septemer 2 Remember Part 3

Mike was telling me about this eclectic & homey restaurant in Katipunan that serves all sorts of Chocolate dishes - desserts, drinks & even entrees.

According to the birthday girl :p

Xocolat is a house turned restaurant that is famous for their hot chocolate. They intend to revolutionize the café culture in this country by offering chocolate drinks instead of coffee. So since I'm not a coffee lover, this place is right for me.

September 2 Remember Part 1

It was already Saturday (the day before my birthday) but there were no plans yet on how to spend it. I was more than happy about my Phantom of the Opera ticket gift from Mike so a simple celebration would do. Hence, Mike & I decided to just have a pre-bday dinner at Chefs' Quarters, SM MegaMall.

September is my most favorite month because for one it's the start of Christmas season & two it's my birth month! For those of you who don't know, I'm a Virgo & was born on September 2 so I get BER-y excited every September :)

Gone Korean at YOOGANE

Monday, September 03, 2012

My officemates, Kris & Bhugzey discovered this new Korean Restaurant in Il Terrazzo Tomas Morato. The bright & colorful interior caught their attention so they invited us to have dinner there. When we went inside, the first thing we noticed were the colorful cartoon murals & their per table cooker.

Yoogane (Yoo-ga-ne) is a restaurant originated in Korea in 1981, since then it has over 100 braches across South East Asia. Yoogane Philippines recently opened its first branch in Il Terrazzo last Aug 13, 2012. Yoogane is famous for their Dak Galbi dishes which means stir-fried marinated chicken in based sauce.

Things to do in TAIPEI

Saturday, September 01, 2012

Taiwan is one of the four Asian Tiger or Asian Dragon Countries together with Hong Kong, Singapore & South Korea. Taipei City is the capital, economic and cultural center of Taiwan. Going to Taipei is like going to Hong Kong minus the Disneyland.

What I really enjoyed doing here was the morning walk with my friends going to the Taiwan Metro. Walking was a pleasurable experience in Taipei because of the cold weather the time we're there.

So here's a list of things to do in Taipei with the help of our friend/tour guide, Joycen
