Bituing Walang Ningning the Musical

This post has been a bit long overdue, I was thinking if I should post this or not. I lacked photos and was shy to post it (hehe, I promise to post better photos next time!)

Last June 17,2015 me and my friend watched Bituing Walang Ningning The Musical at Resorts World Manila. It's kinda funny because buying the tickets were impulsive since he hasn't watched the movie yet and has no idea what it's about. The show we got was the gala night and were lucky enough to be watching with the writers of the original comic book. We're sitting at the front right side of the theater where the musicians are, I mean we are infront of them! It was my first time to watch an actual musical haha, I was ecstatic! (Ironic coz I play at musicals too hihi!) Also I think I was sitting beside a critic because he was writing down notes while watching.

The whole experience was grand, we got to see Cris Villonco (as Lavinia), Monica Cuenco (as Dorina) and Mark Bautista (as Nico) they were all great especially Cris! Watching her, the performances, the setup, the stage brought me back to the 80's. I felt the presence and the moment! Kudos to all the staff and director. Monica's voice too, very angelic! She brought a different vibe to Dorina and represented. Plus I saw my high school director Sir Daryl! Wew! Hi sir! :) The show lasted for about 3 hours I think but it's all worth the time.

Bravo!

New Power Bank for me

So my original post was gone, I think I erased it accidentally -_- but anyway this is my latest order from Lazada, a yoobao 10400 mAh powerbank! I bought this one because of the great deal, it's not that expensive and it has good reviews.

Aside from the powerbank, inside the box is a charger cord along with a small instruction on how to use the powerbank.

Another feature that I like was you can charge 2 phones at the same time! And it has a flashlight on the middle, you can push and hold the button on the other side to light it.

The circles light up blue when you are charging, when the 4 circles are blue it means it has 100% battery, 75% for three, 50% for 2 and 25% for one. Charging the whole powerbank takes 7 hours so you can do it overnight before heading out in the morning. 

After using it I'm loving how it's fast charging and it's very portable to bring anywhere, not only is it light but it's minimal yet stylish!

Lots of love

Gypsy Feels

Yesterday as we we're looking for places to eat we stumbled upon this cool artsy cafe in Quezon City, Gourmet Gypsy. The Name of the Cafe intrigued us all the more.

The facade is really simple but inside interior looks a bit Morrocan or Vietnamese. The place is a mix of countires but what I like the most are the aztec prints on the rugs and chairs. I haven't taken a lot of picture but here's one.

The food I ordered was an Indian Chicken with roasted almonds, you have a choice of steamed rice or pita bread. Then we ordered a passion fruit cooler. The food was great, it was a bit spicy, the chicken fillets are good and serving was also great. It was a bit pricey though. Before finishing our food the staff brought us 2 complimentary desserts which were the panna cotta. I'm not sure tho what the name was again but it was really good. The top part was a bit acidic which gives a little kick to the vanilla panna cotta. The taste kinda grows on you. Thankfully we haven't ordered desserts yet. They also gave us a card for other complimentary food whenever we eat there again.

Overall it was a good place and I think it's better to stay there at night because the ambiance is intimate and the lighting outside are nice.

Caramel Cake Anyone?

Cakes, chiffon, chocolate, vanilla, marble, ube, icing, cakes... One of the basic things needed for a birthday. There are lots of bakeries out there with great tasting cakes but this one intrigued us.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday and we thought about giving her a cake. We thought about it and found this bakery, Estrel's Caramel Cakes. At first we were doubtful but checked it anyway through zomato and found nothing but good reviews. We went there to check if there were available cakes but kailangan pala magpa reserve and so we did. The accommodation was ok, they give numbers upon entrance to those who will order and for those who will pick up. We talked to one of the staff and had a conversation about our order, the color of the flowers, dedication, cake size and outer layer if it's caramel of marshmallow. After that they asked what time will we pick it up on the next day then straight to payment. The prices were reasonable and almost same with other bakeries.

This is the interior, I only have one picture nahiya kasi ako kumuha haha. It was airconditioned of course and i like the minimalistic decorations and everything was in pastel colors. So on the left side is where you take orders and on the right is where you pick them up. 

This is their box, we ordered a 10" cake. The box was very simple, maybe they can do more on the design or packaging. Walang hawakan so mahirap dalhin, siguro kasi puro mayayaman bumibili puro may kotse kaya di na kailangan bitbitin haha, but ok lang naman.

(photo from my mom) And this is the cake! Super green kasi favorite ni mommyang green. The taste of the cake was outstanding, it's not too sweet nor bland but just the right amount. The cake has two layers and in between them is another filling, caramel, which tastes like custard and super delicious. The outer coverage is caramel and the flowers are made from butter i think. All in all rating for the cake is 10. It's super sulit and we will still order again :)
