As of this summer, I have already lost 20 pounds. Other people actually noticed the weight loss before I did probably because I didn't exert any effort or do anything special to lose that amount of weight. I lost weight because of the terrible, terrible, terrible amount of work I do. That translates to little time for eating, sleeping and resting and an insurmountable amount of stress. I think the only weight I gained all gathered under my eyes to form eye bags. :( Now I am trying to lose ten more pounds to reach my ideal weight. I actually want to lose twenty more but my cousins say I would look unhealthy already. So right now, Kuya Andrew are having a bet. The person who loses 10 pounds faster will be treated to dinner by the loser. My strategy? Work, work, work. When I work, I don't have enough energy and motivation to eat. Yesterday, it took me two hours to finish a small meal just because I was very busy. And right now, it's taking me a long time to eat a plate of delicious (but not fattening) pasta here at Kasagingan. I also plan to lose weight…

Gift Boxes
Last Saturday, as part of our campaign to increase awareness for my aunt's bakery and refreshment parlor, I busied myself with preparing gift boxes filled with pastries. We then gave these gifts to some of our blogger friends with the hope that they will like the potato rolls, the slice of apple pie, and the banana bar inside. Here's some pictures of the boxes lifted from one satisfied blogger's blog: So why bother with all the hassle? Because we believe in the value of advertising in blogs. Actually, it's not really advertising per se since we don't pay the bloggers anything, and they are not required to blog about it. But you get the idea... I think. Mam Bebs Bakery and Refreshment Parlor is located at the first floor of the CVA Building, along CM Recto (formerly Claveria Street), Davao City. For inquiries and orders, call (6382) 227-8131.
Looong Weekend
When was the last time you had a first time??? Well, last Saturday, I got the rare chance to experience another first time. At age 25, I experienced for the the first time, playing in a DoTA Tournament. It was exhilarating!!! My team, Team Juan Luna, joined for the sake of joining. We were composed of four girls, two kids, my cousin Dwer, and another guy. Luckily, we were matched against a "not so good" team during the eliminations. During that round, I played together with Dwer, John, Dodong, and McDo. I played using Warlock which I have been practicing with for the longest time. He's one of my favorite heroes. Shocking! Our team dominated over the other team, and we WON! Unfortunately, we lost to the STQ1 Team during the semis. I didn't play during the semis. My cousin Luan, substituted for me. After the elims, I went to C5 and hung out with my Sequel Juan Luna (SJL) friends... all of them had long hair. Hmmm... Why kaya? Then, we split up for a while. I went to Jimber's Gaming Cafe to support my team (Team Ria Jose, NetExpress Duterte Champs, Haha!!!). They lost to a team from…

Nestle's Nescafe Classic First Pick Coffee
I am a certified coffee lover. I drink my daily coffee black with only one packet of sugar. The more bitter it is, the better. When my cousin Luan told me about Nescafe First Pick I got excited and I immediately looked for it on my next trip to the grocery. And I wasn't disappointed. Nescafe First Pick is coffee at its best. The aroma itself is enough to wake me up. The taste is divine. It tastes the way coffee is supposed to taste, strong and bitter. Nescafe First Pick is a limited edition product which is available from January to March. It is made from coffee berries picked on the first day of the harvest season. It also bears the Kape Isla seal which means it is a 100% Filipino product. Fortunately, I have enough Nescafe First Pick on stock to last me, I hope until next January. ;)
