My(Travel) Bucket List.. what's yours?

It has always been my dream to travel(tama ba grammar ko? whateves haha)..I'm sure lahat tayo isa yan sa mga dreams. Aside from food, Ito yung isa kong motivation to work, to be able to travel. I love love watching movies lalo na kung ang settings ay europe, I love James Bond movies kasi their locations are  always fantastic. And the movie ''Under the Tuscan Sun'', after watching that parang gusto ko ng lumipad sa italy at dun na mag stay. Hayyy.. I know... someday mapupuntahan ko din silang lahat. Sana manalo ako ng lotto tapos mabayaran ko ng mga utang ko then i am free!! I can fly anywhere i want to go. Hehehehe am i day dreaming again? Yes i am but I will make these happen. Hehe No i will not rely sa lotto.. I need to work harder and harder and harder!! Sabi pa nga ng highschool teacher ko, Nothing is impossible under the heat of the (tuscan) Sun! Kaya fight fight and go go ako! 


Here are my top 10 Travel Destination 
(in random order)

PRAGUE
I love love Prague! Aside from the name that sounds Clazz to me i wanna explore this country/city and be inspired and create beautiful things.



SWEDEN
This is the place that i just want to be domesticated..if ever i have a husband dito kami titira.

TUSCANY
 This is the place that i want to fall in love..kahit taga saan man sya gusto ko dito ko makilala ang magiging future husband ko..i wanna fall inlove under the tuscan sun!

MOSCOW
I am just curious about russians and the Vodkas!

THE MALDIVES
My honeymoon destination..awww 

MONACO
I know i have a little royal blood in me..(dreaming) thats why i wanna come here and visit my relatives. haha!

MOROCCO
 Camel toes? they have a lot here! I wanna experience the sun dunes and the sandstorms in a very sosyal way!

SANTORINI
This is where i wanna have my Sunset cocktails..i can seat and lounge here forever just watching Greek men!

AFRICA
I like wild animals, I love nature This is the place where i wanna enjoy the great creations of God by watching and understanding how beautiful our world is. (choz!)

ICELAND

I wanna swim here wearing furcoat! haha no, but seriously its one of my dreams to be surrounded by ice, snow and coldness! And i think Iceland is perfect.

How i can do this? God will provide! haha but yes he will for sure in due time. 
For now, Pangarap lang muna then Work ng work, then pay-yaks ang mga jutang, then save ,then travel ,then find a rich husdband who owns a private jet and a house in tuscany.
Pag nangyari ito? I can die na.

fyi: all the photos here i got them from Google..whoever owns this im sure you kbnow who you are, Thank you and i am sharing them. Hope You don't mind. Love ya all!

LOVE AND PEACE

SAPI, SANIB Atbp.

Minsan talaga sa buhay natin dumarating ang mga salitang  Pagod! sawa! ayoko na! tama na! lahat nalang na nega na pwede mong ipagsigawan kung pwede lang isigaw! Anyways, i am just sharing you kung ano yung nararamdaman ko for the past few days. Sometimes talaga i get tired.. tired in general. Feeling Tired, tired with my daily routine, tired with everything. Para akong sinapian in the past few days. I couldn't work, I couldn't think, I couldn't cook. I was just watching tv, I didnt even want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to be alone and angry! Ewan ko ba, sabi nga ng friend ko baka may period lang ako.. sana nga meron nalang para alam kong pagkatapos ng period ko ok na ulit ako. 

I am writing this hindi para hawaan ko kayo sa nega energy ko lately, I am sharing this para lang mailabas ko lang nasa loob ko. Normal naman talaga ito sa akin na minsan may topak talaga ako. My other friends would call me Moody Diaz(80's actress) because of my mood swings(i don't know how she looks like though). Minsan gusto ko na maniwala na pag ang birth month mo ay Feb malakas topak? My bday is feb 28... Baka nga. hehe Hayyy ewan ko ba.. pero I'm ok now.. i dont know later though hehe! 

I think i just need .... a drink!? Then i'll be fine? Or maybe i am due to fall in love again? I dont know.. 
Ok tomorrow I'm back to normal na. Promise!


I need a man.. perhaps a man like this... hehehe



Sabi pa ni Grace Jones.. ''I need a man, perhaps a man like you, I need a man, to make my dreams come true!''


LOVE AND PEACE

Chef Bernard.Com

Since Chef Bernard opened gusto ko na talagang i-try their food day one palang. But last night was perfect. Dennis, Ivar, joey and I decided to watch movie "The Mistress" but before watching the movie, we ate at Chef Bernard's. It was a very fun and lovely experience, The restaurant's food has Ilonggo influences, and i heard that the chef is from Iloilo but he was based in the US before coming back and started the business with his Business Partner Fashion Designer Randy Ortiz. The ambience is very chic, i like the minimal design, not trying hard. It only shows that the owner is a designer. Tastefully done. The concept is carenderia and it is a very ''sosyal'' carenderia!  And the price  is very very reasonable. 

Here are the  Photos of out lastnight's dinner. 

We all love the entrance.

They also have painting for sale.

Their menu.


Fresh Lumpia, I am not actually a fan of fresh lumpia but this on is good. I like the garlicky flavor.

Lemongrass Tea is a winner. Suggestion: sana merong refilable or sa pitcher.

Molo Soup

Baked Stuffed Chiken. My favorite

Pork Binagoongan is the winner! Must try! I like it Pureed Bagoong.

Lengua is very tender.

Chicken Schnitzel

Maja Blanca

Banana Cake is so yummy!!


I love the Banyo! so clean!

My solo pic sa banyo.

With Dennis Lustico, Randy Ortiz, Me, Ivar Aseron, Joey samson and Chef Bernard.

Unit A, Greenbelt Radissons 7, 106 Aguirre St. Legaspi Village, Makati City.

The Art of Doing Nothing(Ghost Month)

wow, its been weeks na hindi ako nakapag-blog. Nakakamiss pala. I got busy to a lot of things and i just realized now na wala palang kwenta mga pinag gagawa ko lately, kaya pala palagi akong depressed kasi hindi ko naramdaman na productive ako for the last two weeks. But pls dont get me wrong, nabusy naman ako cooking which makes me really happy and i went back to my class/school kasi i was absent for one month and one week!!! Gosh buti nalang ang culinary walang honor pag mag graduate ako or else baka super failed na ako. I was aiming pa naman sana to graduate cum-laude!! no joke!! super sipag ko lang sa class.. lahat nalang ng time ako ang sumasagot sa mga questions ng instructor namin. Feeling ko nga naasar na sa akin mga classmates ko kasi palagi nalang ako ang sumasagot.. hay naramdaman ko na thunder na talaga ako. Feeling ko alam ko lahat ang sagot pero tama naman mga sagot ko. Gulo no? Anyways, I miss my classmates and blogging.

I guess I am just missing my old routine..or i dont know.. and just tonight i had the most serious conversation about love..not all about me kasama din mga lovelife nila. Pinag usapan namin kung pano kami magkakaroon ng boyfriends at kung bakit wala kaming mga jowa! At gusto lang naman namin AFAM! And ending, dapat kami umalis sa Pilipinas para makahanap ng jowa!
