How to End 2015

Well in a few hours it will be the end of 2015 and we can now face another 365 days of new beginnings! 

Christmas and New Year for me this 2015 is quite different. This is my first Christmas as a "yuppie" or young professional... So it definitely means that I don't get to receive a lot of gifts now, instead I am the one whose giving gifts now. Nah just joking, I still love Christmas like how a kid loves it.. I just have different priorities now :)

I actually had my December booked with several Christmas celebrations and dinners with friends and families. So It was pretty jampacked and tiring at the same time.

December 11: Me and my college friends had our Christmas lunch at Cyma Greek Taverna at Greenbelt 2. They serve authentic greek cuisine that's really sumptuous and affordable. Their vegetarian meals are delicious and I love their fillet mignon :)

The Afterparty

My officemates and I had our afterparty at Revel at the Palace and Valkyrie Nightclub.

we arrived early in Revel

Valkyrie crowd

Revel offers a more 90s to early 2000 beats that makes us nostalgic and also makes us dance to it! Valkyrie on the other hand offers a wilder and eager crowd.

Advanced birthday celebration at Gino's brick oven pizza

It's been months since I had posted here in my blog because of my busy schedule on my day job.

Anyway, October has been one of my favorite months of the year because it's my birthday month, of course, and with the culture here in the Philippines, Christmas preparation starts by this month.

It's also became my tradition to divide my celebration into weeks or to have different celebrations with different set of people. I usually celebrate with friends a week earlier from my birthday and on the exact day with my family; I don't know its some kind of privacy and to avoid awkward conversations from different people.

So I decided to treat my friends to Gino's brick oven pizza at Tordesillas St. in Salcedo Village. The experience was totally worth it, from ambiance, space, location and ofcourse for food!.

Gino's is located in Tordesillas St. cor Bautista street. and it's near Three Salcedo Place.

We had Burrata Caprese for appetizers, it is made of  Burrata Cheese, pesto, basil and cherry tomatoes. It is perfect with bread and it's not oily and perfectly healthy too!

Their pizzas are to die for!, they are made with thin wheat bread crust too so you'll not be to worred about carbs or calories.

 We were halfway through when I remembered that I need to take a picture of this hahaha! this is Bianca verde, it's made out of  Garlic, Olive Oil, Goat cheese, ricotta, parmesan, basil and arugula

We also had BOMB, it's made out of Balsamic Onions, Mozarella, Mushrooms and Blue cheese. It's flavorful and there's a balance of sweetness and saltiness at the same time.

I forgot to take a picture of the lemon mushroom pasta and stuffed chicken pasta, but they are totally worth to try! They are creamy and flavorful all in one.

I will definitely going back to this place and my money is totally worth it too!
