 My mom and I decided to have our quarterly haircut and a bit of pampering set today, which is coincidentally Valentines day, well, it's my only available day due to my very busy schedule for work. So we had our haircut just around the corner of our neighborhood, it's more like a trim because my mom and I sport pixie cuts so fixing it is quite fast. Afterwards, I invited my mom to have our snacks in Bake and Brew Cafe which is just a few blocks away from the salon.

I was curious to try this out because It was already on operation for almost a year and a half and it has good reviews in zomato.ph

The place is quaint but it has that homey ambiance that serves the target market around the area.

my mom and I tried their red velvet cheesecake which is the best cheesecake I have eaten! It was delicioso! and the price is also a big bonus!



It's the best cheesecake for only 120php! It's super worth it! The cake has a layer of the red velvet cake and another of cheesecake. The layers are then separated by unsweetened Icing that complements the sweetness of the cake and the strong taste of the cheesecake.



We also tried their White mocha latte which is 105php per 10oz. It's so delicious that I would definitely choose this over those commercialized high end lattes I have tried!


I tried their Smoked Salmon panini which is only 140php...and boy It was so great, healthy and heavy that I'll definitely come back for this! 

Usually when I order salmon sandwiches from restaurants, I'm always having a problem with the quality of salmon they put on the sandwiches, but with these sandwich I could give my 2 thumbs up!!

They also have internet and convenience outlets in the area which is a plus point for me because I am a type of person who usually studies in cafes! Their staff is also very friendly and accomodating so you'll always feel homey in the place :)

I would definitely comeback to this cafe with my friends... actually I am already thinking of a date with my friends in this place!

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.
