Waking up for some yogurt was really something that I never imagined doing before. One, you can’t get yogurt anywhere in Cebu unless you go to a place somewhere in Banilad, which I am even unfamiliar with. Two, yogurt in the morning without having anything in your stomach can make you, well, queasy. Nonetheless, like I said in my previous post, I’m a big yogurt fan, and I’m not about to let the first unpacked and non-supermarket sold yogurt pass me by.

I actually detailed how to go to the actual stall in the previous post, but I ended up getting lost myself. I knew where the stall was going to be, but I actually went the opposite way, missing the stall by just a mere 2 meters. I still can’t believe I didn’t look the other way when I knew the stall had to be around there.

Mall hours start at 10AM and I got to the stall at around 10:30ish because I got lost. Pffft. But that’s ok. Everybody else was late anyway. Haha. And of course, who else will I be there with? Nobody else but the Cebu Bloggers Society.

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.

That’s what I got at Bo’s Coffee Club yesterday. If you read back on some of my coffee posts, you’d notice I’m pretty much in love with Cafe Mocha. I don’t usually have anything with my Cafe Mocha, but I felt I had to have something with it, so I skimmed the display for a Blueberry Cheesecake, but unfortunately, they didn’t have it on their menu for the day, so I got the Chocolate Sin instead, the laptop in the background by the way is NOT mine, that’s Aldrin’s, my partner in freelance web developing.

I don’t think he’s used to drinking coffee at coffee shops and the only type of coffee that he’s had at one is probably the Cafe Mocha as well. Well, anyway, so what was so special that we were at a coffee shop? Ummm, nothing personal, it was more of a business meeting that I’m afraid I cannot discuss on here.

It’s Friday and my Team Lead made sure that the scheduling team gave us the same rest days so that we can have our very first team social day. We basically just went out to have dinner together and of course, it was sponsored by the company that we worked for. There was a budget of course and since it was just the day after pay day, we wanted to spoil ourselves and decided to spend more than the alloted budget. We were just gonna add up to the budget. The team social wasn’t just for fun, it was actually the only time that the entire team could spend together since we have different schedules and then we could also plan out strategies and meet about everything else going on at work. The place that we went to: Casa Verde.

Last Friday, August 15th, I was at Barbeque Joe’s (The Walk, IT Park) for the food trip that my blog mates and I have planned to do.We planned the food trip, but not the place where to eat, we were planning to eat at Casa Verde with my team mates, but Casa Verde was so full and we were too famished, so we settled for what was available and for something that didn’t cost us too much of a pretty penny. The place was barely noticeable though, like there wasn’t even a sign, except for the sign taped on the glass door.

Ok, so I had the Chicken Barbeque 1/4 meal and some Green Mango shake to wash it all down. Click to see how it looks like and how much I paid for the meal.
