Miss Wilhelmina

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. Two out of three aren’t bad, I suppose – as long as they serve the same wonderful Italian food people all around the world love to eat at the family dinner table, at work or in front of their email and foxy bingo online (www.foxybingo.com) page. We hoped the food wouldn’t turn out to be merely ‘aspirational’, either.

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.  Read the rest of this entry »

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.
