Ken and Jen at Coffee Prince
I downloaded this photo editor app in my Blackberry Torch! Kinda like instagram! So cool! Pictures taken during our thesis break at Coffee Prince with Ken :)
Though everything looked so good and all, we weren’t really pleased by how it actually tasted. Won’t be going there any time soon :(

Family Dinner at Kena'an
Last weekend, I went back home in Laguna. As much as my dad loves to cook for us while we’re staying there, he wanted us to try out this newly opened restaurant in town, Kena’an’s Cafe and Restaurant. Here’s what we ordered:
Baked Mussels. I was not expecting such a pretty plate! The mango cubes were a sweet surprise and complemented the mussels well. Though, I really...

Stoked on Valentine's Day!
I am creating this post since I finished my tasks for our thesis draft already (Yay!) We will be retrieving our beloved robot tomorrow morning! I am having mixed emotions, we only got one day for testing. Talk about cramming… and I am blabbing off topic already. Haha!
So, about Valentine’s day… Ken and I celebrate our love for each other every single day of the year, but...

Arianne's Birthday Dinner at Vikings
It was my dearest sister’s 20th birthday last February 10, 2011. Our family had dinner at Vikings :)
While waiting for our table. Here’s my mom who always become too preoccupied whilst playing her new favorite game in her iPad2. No one can distract her when she’s in the zone. :))
Mommy and Daddy.
Arianne, her boyfriend of 6 years- Darren, and my brother, Kevin.

Happy Birthday, Arianne!
I dedicate this post to my dearest sister! I know were not vocal about our love for each other, but we know by blood and by heart that we’ll go to the moon and back for each other :) We’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. I love you to infinity and beyond! :)

Happy Birthday, I! :) @irisirish
I remember being so scared the moment I entered college. Then, I met her. She was the first person I ever talked to inside the halls of De La Salle University and I knew right there and then, we’ll click- just like two peas in a pod. Very seldom do we meet someone in our lives that shares almost the same interests. I am so glad we love (and hate) the same things (and people) :))

Ken and Jen dine at Chocolate Fire and Maimee's...
October 28, 2011
It was our 1 year and 2 month anniversary. As usual, we went on a date. :) But first, I had to camwhore :))
I stopped when I poked my eye with my sunnies. Like a boss :))
We went to Chocolate Fire first because we were both craving for some sweets! I was craving for a milkshake and Ken wanted a chocolate cake. We actually already went on a hunt to find this place but instead...

Makeup: Favorite MAC Eyeshadows
I am slowly building up my makeup collection. Here are some eye shadows from my favorite brand-MAC. :) Quite expensive but great quality! Ladies, you don’t want to risk and gamble on cheap makeup when it comes to your face!
Freshwater. Very pigmented! I am in love with this color. Perfect for night outs, and can also double as a subtle eyeliner giving your eyes a fresh pop of color...

Green and White: One Step Closer
From our centennial yearbook, Green and White 2011.
The following are raw/unedited photos c/o Tinoley Digital Photography Studio
I am deeply overwhelmed and grateful. 4 and a half years in this roller coaster ride called Electronics and Communications Engineering.
I may not be the brightest one, but I am damn proud of myself for making it this far. I’ve learned....

Here are some of our wacky shots! I suddenly missed these guys!

Family Dinner at Giligans
Filipino cuisine is my favorite :) My dad’s dishes are the best! I love eating at Dencio’s and Gerry’s Grill :D Last Sunday, we were supposed to eat dinner buffet at Guilly’s in Glorietta 5 but it turned out that it’s no longer there. Instead, we had dinner at Giligan’s.
Chicken Lollipop

Five Random Bath Products
1. Dusch Das Fruit and Creamy
Day time shower gel. I like smelling like fruits/flowers. It makes me feel fresh despite the heat here in Manila. Love love love this! Pus, it keeps my skin so moisturized after taking a bath-as if I’ve put on lotion already.
2. Fa Duschpflege in Vanilla Honey
Night time shower gel. My all time favorite. I’m glad my relatives from Germany gave...

Family Dinner at Dulcinea
Most of the time, my family would just opt to go to Mall of Asia, since it’s nearest our condo and we already know every inch of that place by heart, but the place gets super crowded. My parents wanted to watch Contraband and SM cinema? Well, uhmmm, errrrr… it stinks! Literally! Boo! That’s a major pet peeve of mine and I can get claustrophobic. Plus, there are no seat...

Turning A Frown Upside Down
I am heartbroken :( After 5 years of hard work, all I wanted was just to go away for a little while. You know, change the scenery a bit, go some place beautiful.
Everything was all set, my visa, my papers and my itineraries. I could have gone every year, but I chose to stay here and finish my course first. Education is the number one priority. A down side of studying in a university...

Welcoming 2012!
This post was delayed for a month because I was hoping that the photos from our camera would be recovered but they died together with my perfectly captured happy memories :’( Fortunately, Tito Lito took a lot of pictures too :) Here are a few (well, it’s quite a lot, actually, haha!) photos from that night. New Year is my favorite event! Everything is loud and alive and happy and...

Family Dinner at Juan's Bistro
Since me and my siblings are still in school here in Manila and our home is in Laguna, our parents will always drop by one or two times a week to check up on us and take us out. Last Sunday, we had dinner at Juan’s Bistro. My dad was craving for their Sinigang sa bayabas, but to our dismay, they’ve already removed that from their revised menu. Nevertheless, they had new tasty dishes...

Breakfast for Dinner at FlapJacks
This term is our thesis term and Kenneth and I have been incredibly busy so it’s really nice to spend some precious time together :) For our 17 month anniversary, we were supposed to have dinner together around 6-7 PM but Kenneth had to attend to his thesis problems (I really admire him. He’s so hard working and always ends up successful in everything.), so we ended up having dinner...

Five Random Things
Earlier today, I cannot find my favorite ring (…and I hate myself for being burara and losing things most of the time) so my sister and I went through some of our stuff and tried to organize some of them, while giving the others away and de-cluttering altogether. Anyway, here are some random photos.
1. Rings
We used ice cube trays as organizers for some of our bigger rings! Pretty neat,...

Ken and Jen indulge at Maitre Chocolatier
It was the end of our finals week and what better way to end it than indulge myself on chocolates! :D It was the perfect way to kick off my one-week, yes just one week, term break! :D
I saw this blog on tumblr which read …“Ferrero Nutella Hazelnut Waffle”, and then I died. Whoever put those four words in one dessert is a genius.
I love the interior of this...

Family Dinner at The Red Crab
My parents wanted to try their luck in gambling again, so we went to Resorts World. We thought that me and my siblings could just act all cool, dress and look like 21 year-olds, avoid eye contact with the guards and sneak inside the casino. My brother and sister proceeded and they got in but I was denied :(( They asked for my ID, so… no :)) People close to me know that I am often mistaken...

Ken and Jen delights in Haagen Dazs' Chocolate...
The magnificent treat:
I used my Blackberry Torch’s camera, no editing done (except the watermark, of course). I love love love the resolution :)
We attacked the four mini scoops of Macadamia Nut, Cookies and Cream, Coffee and Strawberry ice cream first before they completely melted :) Yum! The little scoops of ice cream were heavenly :>
Fresh fruits. Banana dipped in chocolate...

Giving Back.
New Year has always been my favorite holiday ever since. It signals the start of new beginnings for everyone. It has been a family tradition to give back Media Noche supplies every last day of the year. :)
We know what we had given wasn’t exactly over the top nor grand, but at least 250 families will be sitting on their dining tables and will greet the incoming year with...

Home Last Christmas
Better late than never, right? :D
Every Christmas, my mother gets all excited about decorating the house, and she would always do so beautifully. She made sure every corner had that holiday feel. I always wonder how she’ll be able to pull off Halloween. Ahh, here it comes again-my frustration about not being able to go trick-or-treating here in the Philippines. Oh, the curse of studying in...

Mufasa vs. Scar
Haha! I just wanted to share this before I sleep. I love this shot of my Summer and Miho. It reminded me of Mufasa and Scar *tears*. Anyway, I am obsessed with my babies. To me, they are more than just pets. I love them to bits! I shall make a blog entry about my puppies soon. :)

A sweet message from Ken's Mom
I just remembered when I saw Tita Coco earlier today that I forgot to post this on my birthday blog entry! :D
One of the sweetest birthday message that I received was from Ken’s mom. She’s really nice and warm and loving, her whole family is, actually. I’ve met up with them a couple of times already and they’re all too welcoming. I will forever be grateful when she...

I cannot even begin how extremely overwhelmed I was on my birthday so I will just let the following photos speak for itself.
Morning, Sunshine!
The view when I opened my eyes upon waking up in the morning of January 4, 2012. I thought I was still dreaming for a while. My bedroom ceiling was full of balloons. Such a wonderful sight to wake up to! I can honestly say that this...

Lovely pairs of earrings for us ladies.
I’ve always loved wearing earrings; may it be studs, dangling, feather- all sorts, really. My mom has quite a collection but I am always scared to borrow from her because I’m afraid I might lose them. She said we’ve already reached that stage of being a lady and we need to invest on things like these. So she bought each of us girls in the family a lovely pair of...

Night Before My Birthday
I hardly feel the anticipation building towards my birthday. No, this is not a rant post :)) Anyway, my birthday gets lost around the holiday shuffle. Everyone, including myself, is still overwhelmed with the holiday spirit, so I am very thankful for those who go out of their way to make my birthday special. Shout out to my family and friends. :) Every birthday greeting is so dear to me and I...

I’ll be importing all my personal posts from my blogspot in here. :) Sticking to this one, hopefully. :)
Reblogs moved at http://alwaysbetterwhenweretogether.tumblr.com/ because I just couldn’t let go of that part of me that cannot resist reblogging. ;)
