Love this Cover!

I don't usually pay attention to the "covers" in YouTube, but this one particularly caught my attention. A very nice cover of Katy Perry's "The One that Got Away" by Tiffany Alvord & Chester See.



LOVE it!

Ooopps!

That's what I said when I realized I finished two slices of this...

Sugarhouse's Cashew Toffee. A light chocolate chiffon cake filled with chocolate mousse with a hint of rum. Glazed with extra creamy buttercream that topped with cashew toffee bits and chopped cashew.

YUM-O!

But of course I had to mind my diet so I considered taking apidextra just so I can lose the extra pounds that I gained for eating 2 slices of cake! I heard apidextra really works wonders. I wasn't able to buy though because I needed to order it online.

So next time I plan to binge on cakes and pastries, I need to make sure that I got apidextra in my pocket!

Oh, Jamba Juice!

It's been what, 2 weeks since I last had my first Jamba Juice and now I'm craving for it again. I guess I'm totally hooked!


I knew that Jamba Juice opened in Manila last year, but I wasn't really interested until my friend recommended it and then we all went to try two weeks ago.

Here are the things that you can try in Jamba Juice - smoothie, granolas and oatmeal.


Yes, everything is HEALTHY! That's why I loved it. They also have healthy food such as pretzels, wraps and our most favorite - Smoked Chicken Pizza Bread.


YUM! I'm definitely going back there again one of these days.

Jamba Juice Philippines' first branch is at Bonifacio Global City.

In my Playlist Now...

...is the Something Borrowed soundtrack.


The first time I saw the movie, I instantly fell in love with the soundtrack. So I downloaded the album and has been using it as my "Workout" songs for months now.

I'm also planning to save it in my PC after I get a vlc download. I heard that VLC has a new version which is 2.0 that is better than the old one. We've been using VLC for years now and we are totally loving it. I can't wait to try the version 2.0 after I download it.

An Hour of Massage at The Spa

As our birthday gift for my sister, we both went to The Spa, The Fort for an hour of massage. I chosed The Fort branch because I wanted to eat after our massage and if we have time, we can window shop too!

I've always loved the lobby of The Fort branch.


It looks modern and simple but at the same time, it looks homey. The smell is to die for! Makes you want to stay day for the whole day.

The last time my sister and I were at this branch was when we had a massage with my Mom. We entered the "Female Spa Area" and the sessions began...


- We took a shower first to freshen up
- We tried the jacuzzi
- Took a shower again
- Since we didn't have time anymore, we just went to the lounge and drink ginger ale and water
- Then, our massage started and finished after 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It was heavenly! I can't wait for another massage hopefully SOON!
