Just when I was having another one of my crazy cravings, I came across a thread in the Cebu Bloggers Society Forums about another shop opening.

And Guess what? It’s food again :lol:. What’s even better is, it’s healthy food! The new Frizberry Yogurt shop will be opening this coming March 8, 2010, which is this coming Monday already at the 2nd level of SM City Cebu, fronting Salon D’Rose. If you have difficulty finding Frizberry Yogurt, hop on an escalator to the 2nd level, then start walking towards the SM Department Store. Don’t go through the front entrance of the department store, but instead go through one of the side entrances. I forgot which side, though. Forgive me :P. I’m a big yogurt fan, so I’m hoping this will a place that I can come visit often int he future.

The Cebu Bloggers Society and I will be there, so I hope you guys can come at around 10AM for the opening.

Daily short entries are never good enough for this blog. I always have to post at least more than 100 words or else I feel as if the essence of writing is not there. This particular post is dedicated to a good friend of mine within the CBS group. He celebrated his birthday not too long ago and the CBS went to celebrate the special occasion with him as well. On November 15, 2009, we met up at the Cream and Bake Shop for the formal celebration of his birthday, instead of on his actual birthday.

Allow me to tell you something about the Ethelbert that I know…

1. It’s never boring/quiet whenever he’s around.
2. He’s a kind-hearted person who cares about the environment and people who need caring.
3. He’s one of the funniest people that you will ever know.
4. And there is so much more that you would need to get to know him personally to find out what they are.

There was a lot of food laid out on the table, a lot of which I did not get even a taste of, which is perfectly fine because Ethelbert did bother getting some food on the table that I could eat.

Check out what we had at Cream and Bake’s.

Just last week, I had the privilege of getting invited to a restaurant opening, the Brasco Pizza and Pasta pizza parlor. I was pretty swamped with everything that has been going on and I was looking to do overtime at work for the extra cash and had just started working out. Thing is, I noticed my blog hasn’t been updated in quite a while already, so I grabbed the chance and here I am writing a review about the place.

When asked why Brasco was named as such, we found out that Brasco basically stands for Bryan’s Aspirations Company. It may not be much, but then again, the thought is there and plus, it is Italian-sounding, a fitting name for an Italian delicacy.

Located in The Gallery along Juan Luna Avenue in Cebu City, Brasco Pizza and Pasta opened its very first branch, hoping to attract the growing pizza lovers crowd. 

It’s been quite a while since I went out on a rest day, most especially with the CBS peeps. The date was April the 25th, which is by the way, my little sister’s birthday, and the day when the power went out for more than two hours, approximately. I was supposed to finish some chores at home, but at around 10am, the lights went out and my laptop went blank on me, because I had it on power supply rather than battery. So my Naruto Shippuuden episode 106 viewing got interrupted. I waited for about 20 minutes and no signs of the power coming back on came. So I just decided to shower and then meet up with the CBS peeps at Max’ Restaurant at SM City. The time was supposed to be set at 11am, but we didn’t meet each other till about 11:30am.

Anyway, I’m really not sure what the occassion was, but we had a 15% discount on the meal, which was great, because of the company we had, I’m not gonna say that the food sucked, the food was okay, pretty ok, most especially the Sinigang na Hipon, which was really good in my opinion, I just didn’t get to see how much it costed though. The bloggers has Crispy Pata, which I skipped, because I don’t eat pork, Max’s Fried Chicken, Sinigang na Hipon, Halo-halo and Garlic Rice. For drinks, majority had Iced Tea, Empress had some Pepsi and I, well, since it was on the menu, I had to have the Green Mango Shake.

It was one of those bored-out-of-mind days again, and we were strolling around the mall, trying to find something useful to do. On days like this one, I would normally be in front of my computer, trying to find something to do, watching anime, or trying to put up at least one blog post.

But here I was, doing nothing but walking around in the mall, when we suddenly smelled something that caught our senses. It was the glorious smell of spices. It was then that we realized that we were standing right in front of a Thai restaurant.

I guess we were standing too close to the entrance, because I’ve never smelled the spices from this place before, and I have been passing the same restaurant for the nth time since I first came to Cebu.

Since I was starving, we decided to eat at the Thai restaurant. I don’t remember how much we spent, but I can definitely say that the spices are not easy to forget.

Anyway, here are some shots from the Krua Thai.

According to Wikipedia,

Gelato, or the plural Gelati, is Italian ice cream made from a liquid, milk or water; a solid, sugar, fats or sweeteners; flavorings, pastes, fruit powders; stabilizers, guar gum, locust bean, etc.; emulsifiers, mono- and digylcerides; and air.

Today’s another day of my rest day and boy, am I glad that I got to take the weekend off. I was able to spend some time with my fam and I was able to go out and just relax without having to worry about anything else. For today, we hung out at several different spots, but I’m gonna talk more about the new ice cream place at the SM City Cebu. Ooops, I forgot, it’s gelato, not ice cream.

Gellatissimo.

Gellatissimo’s got a lot of flavors lined up but since I’m a chocolate lover, I gave special attention to their chocolate selections all place in one window. I’m a dark chocolate fanatic, so I chose to have Belgian Chocolate. My little brother and sister both got themselves Chocolate Truffle while my mommy got herself the Honey and T-something Malt. I forgot what the name was. She liked it, but since Gellatissimo allowed free tasting, my mom asked if she can have a little taste of the Bloody Orange gelato.

She loved the Bloody Orange gelato than the one she got. I didn’t get to taste it personally, but maybe if I got enough cash on hand and if I think it’s not that impractical to treat myself every now and then, maybe I can get myself a serving of each flavor someday soon.

Anyway, this is how much one serving of a single gelato looks like.
