A Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante

A Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante is an Italian Restaurant. It is located at BF Homes, Parañaque City. Their food is to die for. If you like pizza, pasta or anything Italian you should try this restaurant. Almost everything here has mozzarella cheese and it taste so good. They have big servings good for 2 to 3 persons. Estimated budget per meal I guess is P250++. It depends on your order. We ordered one pasta and two slices of pizza. Carbs are surely heavily for our tummys that's why we just ordered a few. Then, take out for my family. :)

Meatball Parmigiana

2 slice of Special Pizza

Antonio's Grill @ Tagaytay City

As I have blogged before, (click here if you don’t remember) I will post a separate blog entry for Antonio’s Grill in Tagaytay City. Well, here it is… We arrived early for lunch, around 11 o’clock-ish in the morning. It was my first time to eat here. The ambience was so fresh, so clean and so white. I love how simple and white the place is. Few people were still eating by that time. I thought it would not be that cold inside because it is just open air, no aircons just windows and the sun outside was so hot. But I was wrong, the wind was blowing cold air and I can feel the cool weather of Tagaytay. Close to nature equals fresh air.

the menu

Their menu is consisted by typical Filipino food with a twist. I love how they mix and match the food (just like fashion, hehehe). We decided to order Pinakbet rice with Crispy Pata. As my gluttony mind thought, that’s it?? Hahaha Unfortunately, my hunny told me that it was one big meal enough for 2-3 persons per serving. BOO! Hahaha I just listened to him because it’s my first time here. I also ordered mango shake because I love cold drinks! Haha


the blogger (me)

told you it is so white (love it)

The food arrived, one word “wow”. It was plenty for us. Hahaha It really tasted good. I love everything on it. The vegetable, the rice and the crispy pata was perfect! Yummmyy! Happy tummy! :)

One Chill Weekend

Sometimes in life, we need to take a break and take it slow to enjoy moment like this. A weekend to wind, dine and relax. I visited my sick hunny @ Lipa, Batangas. We spend our weekends together cooking, eating and watching dvds. It was a simple but fun bonding experience.

Friday The 13th Adventure (Tagaytay)

Last Friday the 13th, we had our post Christmas party. It was held in Tagaytay City. This post is a little late, I guess?! But who cares, it is my blog. I can post anything or anytime I want. hahaha I want to share our experience towards that moment.

I was with my college buddies. It was a rare occasion that we are complete. Let me start my story. So here it goes...

We met up at Makati to ride a bus to go to Alabang. It was a funny moment that we were on a hurry so we could catch up with the shuttle (van) via SLEX to Tagaytay. We succeed! Desperate people go for desperate measures; we rode an ordinary bus take note, STANDING! until Alabang. During the trip to Tagaytay, we were busy eating pizza from Greenwich. Then, when we arrived, it was freezing cold. Again, we rode another transportation called jeep. Afterwards, it was dark; we walk or run? hihihi until we reached the place, The Villa Hotel & Restaurant. We stayed there for a night. Like college days, we talked, ate, drunk and sang until the sun came up. It was fun fun fun the whole night.

Random photos coming up...

Emote mode? hehe

This is us. Wacky mode??

The next day.

Our last stop @Mushroom Burger.

The next day, another adventure. We enjoyed our free breakfast. For lunch, we went to Mushroom Burger and our friend Jona treated us. Thank you! Non-stop kwentuhan will always be the best bonding moment. The days with them will always be bitin and sad to say Good bye. =( Our last stop was buying a perfume in Festival Mall. I bought Into the Blue by Escada. We also tried flying some lanterns but epic failed because of the weather. It rained that time. Boo! Anyways, I am looking forward to our next getaway.

To my friends, they will have always a place in my heart. Love them. =)

BullChef @Pasig City

BULLCHEF is a small restaurant in the heart of Pasig City. They offer a lot of varieties of food that is associated with beef. Bulalo is their specialty. The first time we have eaten here was truly unforgettable. I ordered "Bullusok", it is a sizzling beef with gravy on it plus veggies as a side dish, and it really tastes good. They gave us free soup. It was a bulalo soup; it is like a teaser for their specialty. I also enjoyed the small bone marrow included in our sizzling. Oh hypertension! Hahaha (eating too much bone marrow will surely listed you as a candidate for hypertension awardee, so control.) The funny thing was the way they served the bulalo, once the order has arrived the waitress/waiter will blow a whistle. Then, people on the staff area will clap and shout, “BULLCHEF”. I was shocked but it’s cool. Something extraordinary.Try it!

Sorry for the photos, not so HD. hihihi I used my phone..

In adventure, change

Subic Adventure

One spontaneous getaway! Yes, this is it! The plan was to go to Batangas but at the very moment, the plan was changed and all of the sudden we were on the bus, on our way to Subic, Zambales. Wooow! 180 degrees turn for a plan. I never thought that we will be on our way somewhere in north. The adventure starts!

Versus mode - Tekken 6. Let's get it on!!!

the night of booze and foods

Grilled tilapia. Yummyyy!!!

Before heading home... Beach time.

The day we have arrived was one rainy day. I want to have fun and frolic at the beach unfortunately, the weather was not good enough. I know. That's why, we bought a lot of groceries for the long night. Grilled some pork chop and fish. We swam on the depths of the swimming pool on their club house. hahahaha It was dark and cold. hahaha A little scary but we need to do what we should really do, SWIM SWIM SWIM. Even though the weather was cold and a little gloomy. I remember the night we need to get back to the house, where we stayed, we walk on the creepy road while bats were flying here and there. hahaha

Before sleeping, we watched a movie, I am too sleepy to finish the movie, I fell asleep. The next day, we went to the beach, played video games, played game cards and never ending stories to shared to each other. I really had fun. I went home almost midnight. So tired but there was a smile on my face. I am looking forward to the next outing with my friends. Whooo!

Time to Chillax

Once in while we need to stop and take a break from all the stress, workload, anxiety or anything you want to escape. Yes! I need to chill and relax. I am getting sickly recently. Maybe due to stress and too much thinking of all the shits that is happening to my effin life. Thank you that we had a company outing. It was held in Rancho Elena in Calamba, Laguna. It was a peaceful place to unwind and release all the toxins in our mind. Guess what?! Before the day of our outing, I felt not-so-good. I had a case of fever. So the day of event, I am sick to my stomach. I just stayed in my room and slept for hours until I felt good enough to mingle and play uno cards for the rest of the night. Of course! lots of lots of medicine to felt oh so good. I am really really thankful for my office mates, who took care of me during my feverish hours, without them I could not enjoy the days.

free fresh lycee to everyone.. yummmyy!

I am chilling plus texting me hunny.

I have loads of photo to share but I am too lazy to post it in my blog right now. hihihihi Sorry! =) Well, the place was nice. It has a swimming pool, a badminton court, duyans, kubos, playgrounds, billiards and fruits to eat for free. Unfortunately, I have not maximized the use of it except the room and the bed. hahaha Too bad! boo-huuu! Anyways, this moment will be treasured, whatever happens it was sure fun. A total bonding experience with my colleagues. =)

Dark of the Moon

Transformers - Dark of the Moon was one of the most awaited movie of the year. Of course! We must watched it. The first weekend of the movie was surely a hit. Many people also wants to watch it like us. One of my friends bought the tickets earlier, though our seats was not that good because we were on the left almost front seat, the only available seat for that time and day and cinema. My gad! The crowd was wild. The line was long. It was really a blockbuster movie.

Movie tickets --- from Jamie's fb

In adventure, college

Before The Rain Drops

This is a late outing for summer with my best ever college friends, which we call ourselves BOYS. We act like boys when we were with each other. hehe Seriously, we do. With them I learned how to be more adventurous in life and how to have fun. Since our graduation, we seldom see each other because of different work schedules but every time we have a chance, we go and grab it. Like this one!!!

Overnight at Agudo's Residence in Bulacan a.k.a. "BUKID". I love staying at their house. I feel at home since day one. hehehe The day we arrived, we decided to have a night swimming @ 8waves. We actually waited for a few hours for the half price of the cottage. We ate snack at pancake house. Then, the TAPTAP REVENGE Tournament happened. We really enjoyed swimming and of course! the never-ending-kwentuhan with each and everyone. I miss them so much!

Kirby the cat, the maarteng cat.

Before going to 8 waves. That's me!

In front 8 waves, time to splash beybe!

The TAPTAP REVENGE Tournament@the lobby.

Before and after sequence mode -- time to go home.

I always have this BITIIN feeling every time it's time to go home. The best time ever was at the bus on our way home. Many funny moments happened and formed. For example, the MAASIMIANS, the streets were remembered and the food trip. Afterwards, it's time to say goodbye and take different paths on our way home. However, don't worry we still have a lot of time to be together. Looking forward to bond again with them! Miss them. <3

Brother's Burger

One Tuesday afternoon, I'm sick. hehehe I did not went to my work for that day. Instead, I went to Brother's Burger with Him. Lunch time! Two hungry cuties went to Brother's Burger to eat juicy charbroiled burgers. OMG! Look at my order, it's huge. hahaha Santa Fe burger for me, with potato wedges and sprite on the side. It really made my stomach full. Look at his order below, it made me a little bit embarrassed. :)) Ang laki ng order ko, PG (patay-gutom much?). haha

We PARTY Like 2012

My birthday celebration! The original plan was GIRL's NIGHTOUT! Plans do change. This was one of the unexpected ones. I can't imagine that I can party with both of my high school and college friends at the same night. This was really one of the rare occasions. Who would thought? All of us had a blast on that night. Booze, dance floor and friends are the perfect ingredients of a FUN-BIRTHDAY-CELEBRATION! yeahhh!

Just arrived. =)

Bacardi apple and coke

Cheers! Straight up and feel the music.

Find me. hihihi

Group pictures! :)

PARTY!!!

I reserved the couch of the night. Informed them. Reminded them to bring IDs. I realized that planning an event was very exhausting but it was a success. Arrived @encore around 10pm, waited for some of my friends until we were complete. We ordered two or three Bacardi apple and 1 liter of Jose Cuervo for the whole night. It helped us to dance all night and party like a rockstar. Seeing my friends having fun is really big deal for me. At the same time, I am happy too. Those people who I imagine they won't have fun or enjoy partying at the club, were the ones I saw really having a good time. I'm surprised. It means I can invite them again to party with us! Cool right? I have now an official party friends. It will be easy to invite them.

I'm thankful for those who help me made this happen. Thank you! To my friends and love ones, I love you big time. SUPER ENJOY! Let's plan for the next party scene! woooo! I love you all.

Visita Iglesia (Tagaytay to Cavite)

Every Holy Thursday, our family have started a tradition to go to different churches to pray the station of the cross until we complete it. It is usually called Visita Iglesia. This time we went far from our usual route. We headed to Tagaytay to Silang to Dasmarinas and to Gen. Trias, Cavite.

First stop was in Caluruega, Nasugbu-Tagaytay.

San Lourdes, Tagaytay.

Pink Sister, Tagaytay.

Angel's Hill, Tagaytay

Silang, Cavite

Dasmarinas, Cavite

Our beloved church @ Gen. Trias, Cavite (last stop over)

Station of the Cross - Incomplete Picture. Sorry. Tee-hee :)

Visita Iglesia with my family was really an enjoyable activity. I am always looking forward for this every year. Not only a bonding moment with my family but also time to heal and rejuvenate our relationship with God our Almighty Father. It is a time to repent and be sorry for our sins.

Our other Visita Iglesia:
