Edi+ion Cafe and Furniture shop

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!

Ali and I spent our Chinese New Year at Home Depot in Ortigas to look for materials for our cabinet project in our condo. From glass doors to lightings, pegs (yup. this is what you call that small thing that holds a layer of wood. Basta yun na yun!) and visagras, chairs and shelves. My so little knowledge of "man things" got wide since we moved in our place and started doing our condo projects. 

Lately, I've been obsessed in watching Desperate Housewives (all over uh-gain, I started when I was in college) I admired how Bree Vandecamp now Hodge is very organized and domesticated. I will never be like her. I'm that one messy bessy that cleans only if I wanted to, organized after papers and bills pile up and fix the bed at night before we sleep (again) Hahaha! I can't make a lemon meringue pie, well because I don't have an oven! -- Wala lang. Share ko lang. Hehe!

Anyway, after a whole afternoon of walking around Home Depot, my badtrip is coming due to my hungriness. Ali, being the best husband as he is, gives in and let me choose a place to eat. As we stroll around, I found Edi+tion. I didn't think it was a cafe because of their display of furnitures. I just want to look because they have cute display of throw pillows. So ofcourse we looked and decided to eat here. 

Display of their cute accessories and throw pillows


I guess my husband fell in love with the place too? or the grilled cheese sandwich? Haha!








We ordered their triple cheese grilled sandwich. It was so yum!!! Alam mo yung feeling ng pag tikim mo ng cheese sa loob ng bibig mo, parang iba. Sobrang sarap, sobrang linamnam! HAHAHA! No joke.

and my love for nude art is again on high when I saw this.

Antipolo Family Date

This was long overdue post that I wanted to share with my non exsistent readers. (LOL) Last January 17, 2015, I asked my parents, brother and husband to go out on a family date. My Dad was very fond of this. He's always so game when I invite them to go out with us but he's so lazy to drive so he always ask Ali to drive for the whole family. Hahaha!

Anyway, we agreed to go to Antipolo for an over looking dinner because we have a Spa reservation nearby after that. So we went to Leonardo's (our family's favorite restaurant with videoke in Rizal) but unfortunately, Leonardo's is jam packed because yeah, its a Saturday gimik night. Ali and I suggested that we try Cloud 9. Its in the top most and they had a gorgeous view of the city.









Cloud 9 was also packed but were willing to wait due to hungriness and we also thought that we'll stick to one restaurant nalang because its a Saturday. You know, gimik night! Hahaha!

Cloud 9's food was divine. Filipino dishes are served. We ordered Corn soup, Sisig, Liempo and Chopseuy. My husband and my Dad loves Filipino food so much! As for me and my brother, second lang because we love our PP combos (pasta and pizza), while my Mom was neutral. The place was okay too if you wanted to have a full view of the City. It's even beautiful if you go here at sunset. Mas emo ang feels but I will not recommend it for a romantic getaway because pak na pak talaga sa tao. One thing I didn't like about this place was their slow service. They didn't have a receptionist to accomodate you while waiting, instead, our family and other guests are on a first come first serve basis. So parang fast food lang.

After dinner we decided to explore the whole area. I've been to Cloud 9 two times, the first time was with my friend way back in college and the second one is with Ali because we have a food tasting for our wedding held at Cloud 9. Ever since, I didn't bother to explore the whole Cloud 9 area until last January. They have a roof deck called 360 where you can go via wooden bridge or stairs. You have to pay Php50.00 if you're walk-in guests, but if you dine and show your receipt to them, the Php50.00 is free of charge. Its exciting to use the wooden bridge because the lights are changing. May ganong effect.


 After climbing up the wooden bridge, we were so amazed by the view from the top most section. At ang lamig lamig doon!



We happen to wear the same hues! Blue and White! Hindi namin pinagsuapan to ha!





After spending lots of time in the deck,  we went down to discover an art gallery! Let me tell you that I LOVE LOOOOOVE NUDE PAINTINGS!!! I'm not that artsy fartsy but I really appreciate nudity as art. Actually pati sex paintings gustong gusto ko rin. I even plan to have one on our place but of course when my future kids are old enough to understand the art. Hehehe!





 I wanted to stay longer because there's a live painting session happening but we didn't have the time because of our spa appointment. Huhuhu! We used the stairs and cement bridge to go down because my Husband and Dad got dizzy from the wooden bridge. (LOL)





Tips for Cloud 9 goers: Go here at Sunset, enjoy the view and please see their art gallery.

Valentines Day

#Warning #Cheesypost

Yesterday the whole world celebrated L-O-V-E day!!! Girls holding flowers, balloons and chocolates. Boys also holding the same things to give to their loved ones, most of us feeling all loved and I'm talking not only bf-gf love but all kinds of love, like the Bench Ad in Guadalupe. And yup! I'm one of the lucky ones who received full bloom flowers from my husband.  

I just want to share with you how my Valentines Day went. First, I asked Ali to drop me in the office because we woke up late. We drove thru Jollibee for breakfast and sail the Ortigas Extension traffic. I got so kilig because its rare for my husband to drop me off at work since his office was just in front of our village. (buti pa siya. Hahaha!) This started my lovely day. 

Ordinary Saturday in the office. I asked my two closest office mates to have a "Valentines Day" lunch at Buena Cafe and take our pictures in their love chair. Hahaha! We were teasing each other because of a post I saw on Facebook: 

Its almost 1pm and my husband came to our office with flowers in his hands to surprise me!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!! Meaning maganda ako! Hahaha! (Wala pa akong makeup kasi I declared: Saturday no makeup day in the office. So wala akong kilay!) Kidding aside, didn't expect him to surprise me in the office! Hahaha! Thank you honey for the wonderful surprise. I'm one happy wife here! 


He asked me out for a lunch date. We ate at The Breakfast Club in Pioneer.


* Beef Tapa for Ali *

* and the creamiest seafood pasta for me *
I so recommend this place! The food was so good and the place is so comfy. Thumbs up!
* my kilays are not prepared for a lunch date *
He dropped me off at work again and one of my office mate gave me a Valentine stash. Thank you Faithee! Happy Valentines to you and Mengsky!

My Mom texted me if Ali and I have plans for dinner, because my Dad was out of town because of a basket ball game at Dipolog. So I told Ali that we always have dinner together everyday so why not date my Mom and brother? So he came to pick me up after work. On the way to my parents' house my Mom called me and told us that my Uncles, Aunts and Grandparents will join us for dinner. Instant family gathering! The thing about Veeday is the insanely traffic everywhere and full restos. Marami talagang in love sa Pinas. Hehe! 
The original plan was, go to Antipolo for an over looking dinner and videoke at Leonardo's. But due to heavy traffic, we decided to eat somewhere nearby. Tiyo's it is! (please click HERE to see the official FB page of Tiyo's) 







* This is to whom I got my favorite wacky pose. ROOTS *

* Tiyo's Valentines give away *

* The whole family plus the box office resto *


I've been showered with pure love my whole life with this crazy bunch and I wouldn't think of not celebrating love day without them. Valentines day is not limited for boy friends and girl friends love, but also love for family and friends. Celebrate all kinds of love.
