46/52 Anew and getting ahead •••• Heart Tea Cebu

Last November 10, 2012, I was invited by Frank Oliva of Heart tea milk tea Cebu  to join their relaunching at  Gilt Lounge• Wine bar• Deck and Patio at Crossroads Mall, Gov. Cuenco Ave. Banilad Cebu city. Bringing  my cool friend Sonny Santos along with me, he got the boost of hardcore milk teas and awesome cocktail foods from Gilt.

Heart tea has been my fav stops for milk tea afternoons and friend chillouts. As they went through the milk tea industry in Cebu, they launched a sleeker and bolder Heart tea Cebu that will fit to the trendsetting Cebuanos. 


Their new logo represents a direction that ♥Tea is taking healthy, vibrant, hip yet affordable. Good and affordable milk tea that could please a kid. I've been an obsessed fan of milk teas and Heart tea has been part of my top 5, I could say they've been consistent bringing the "good milktea" in an "affordable" way. A certified hit for milk tea enthusiasts :)

The party was filled with  lots of people, mostly from the media industry and saw some of my cool online friends too. The event was hosted by June Rabin from Monster Radio and held with two gorgeous Heart tea milk tea ambassadresses. We were welcomed with the Basil Healthea drink, great cocktail foods and batches of Wintermelon milk teas with diff. popping add ons like the blueberry popping and the cranberry popping.

FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!

The brand launch was also coupled with the introduction of the new variance of milk tea to add up to the original tea flavours on the menu. The new and palate-tingling additions are; Caramel-Wintermelon Milk Tea, adding up a certain degree of sweetness to the classic summer-refreshing flavour profile of wintermelon, and finally the Hazelnut Milk Tea, a more exciting addition of aroma and roasted nuttiness to the regular milk tea. All variance and flavours can still be mixed and matched with the add-ons of your choice.  New add-ons are also introduced to Heart Tea’s already wide option. These are, Blueberry Popping, Mango Popping, Orange Popping, and Cranberry Popping.  All these popping add-ons, once bitten, burst with flavours of mango, blueberry, orange, and cranberry. 


Getting ahead.

Heart tea has branched out! Having the kiosk in IT park as their main one, you could also catch them at the Cebu Doctor's University, and Convergy's Banawa. A new branch will be coming so soon at the Southwestern University Cebu, fronting the Aznar Colisuem's main gate.

Whats great about their branch in IT park is,  THEY DELIVER FOR FREEEEE! (around IT park only) :D You can tweet, chat, call or text them. (Details below)

The almost epic tragedy


I'm knocked on my heels after the "I-almost-fell-down-the-stairs" scene after one waiter accidentally hit on me while I was about to take the stairs going down. At least my friend got a hold on my arm before I lose my balance. Can't bear the thought of seeing my self stumbled down there. `unpretty sad` Walking thru the exit he said, "I guess you shouldn't wear heels"... Sadly heels aren't just  for me :(

45/52 Cebu Blog Camp 3rd season

I've been trapped in my own era for blog writing. I want to share what I eat and what I do online and  in doing so, I also want to consider about "what I post" should be at least informative for netizens and my friends online.

I read a post online about the Cebu Blog camp happening this November 30, 2012 from 9:00AM-5:00PM at the Cebu Conventional Center. I was delighted and of course excited to join. I know this event can give me a lot of help for my blog. This is a free event so WHY NOT ^.^ 


In my sense, As a first timer,  I guess i'l be meeting a lot of people that could make my life more beautiful. It's not that about what I get in this event but it's also about the experience which could help me bring out the best in me.

45/52 Balot nights!

Been busy for the first few weeks of school, and absolutely left my blog out. Goes out early, gets home late (is this school?) O well, 2 more years. Sorry for the late post >.<

Do you certainly eat Balot?

Balot is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell.

Balot is a popular street food in the Philippines and Pateros in Luzon claims to be the Balot capital of the Philippines.


My friend Cessa Zapanta was a big fan of it. She’s been a habitué of Mr. Balotero in Naga city.  Dragging me there one night, I got the chance to enjoy not only one but two balots, I felt like haven’t eaten balot for the looongest time! And twas heaven, balot heaven! :)

BALOT! 15 pesos each! 
Your balot night isn’t complete without some salt and vinegar with lots of chilies in it. 


Mr. Balotero sells 16-21 days old eggs, 16 is the stage were the chick inside is not old enough for its body to be fully developed. And that's the only Balot I would love to have. I've tried the 17 and 18 days old before and I remembered that was not a good experience :( 


Mr. balotero marks the eggs as to how old are they, there's a line, an X , two lines,  a dot and the 20day old doesn't have any mark. In our casual conversation while having our balots I asked him, "kuya? Why don't you use different smileys(emoticons) to mark your balots? Uniqueness.." He gave a grin and a big laugh "Ako nya na buhaton daie :) (I will do that girl)" I guess that question made sense, now there will be smiling balots :D

Here's my balot one and two! Hmmmm ♥


Opening!
Hi chick! :D
Sorry, out of Focus :(
My friend enjoyed it much! See her for her fourth balot!



After our balot thing we had some sweets to ease up the balot after taste.




And that was our balot night. See you balot 16 soon! ♥

Thank you Cessa Zapanta :* Lotsofhugsloveandkisses

44/52 Bubble Tea Station!


One afternoon from school last semester, I came to drop by Banilad town center to have milk tea from Bubble Tea StationTwas exam week so hell yeah! I need to study for it. The cup of wintermelon milk tea from BTS made me happy and unleashed the bad vibes (you know the feeling of exams -.-)

Bubble tea station kiosk
The bubble tea kiosk is found right by the main entrance of BTC (Banilad Town Center) you can just order and bring your milk tea around while looking for stuffs to buy around the mall. They also settled chairs by the side for you to sit down while waiting for the time to pass by while enjoying your milk tea. 


As I said above  I had their wintermelon milk tea which was good, one of the best I should say. The price was reasonable and the taste was excellent. I had it with egg pudding that it made it more sweeter (I forgot to adjust then sugar level) 


Luckily! Some people from Zee Lifestyle Cebu and the owner of Bubble tea Station Meyan Lim Young was there. Had a lil conversation with the owner and after introducing myself, she gave me a treat from her Asian food stall The "Small Eats" found outside BTC (right wing, beside potato corner)  which is a stall that could offer shabu-shabu to go and some Asian street foods! :) She handed me this Seafood Tofu drizzled with sweet and sour sauce that made me salivate and I was really ready to attack it :)) It was a healthy snack, #tofu


The Seafood tofu was so good, I enjoyed it with my milk tea. You can also order in Bubble tea if you want some of these treats, theyll serve it with your milk tea ;)

Emika Sangu

Emika Sangu17, Japanese-Filipino, Artistic, Pretty, Young model, Modest, Kind and affectionate. 




There could be a lot of words I could possibly use to describe this young lady. Very  optimistic, brave, She's so outspoken and beautiful in her own little ways. She could give colors to other people's lives. I can't recall how I got to know her, But she's a very good friend of mine. Emi's leaving for Japan on May 31st, too sad I haven't seen her for months now, that makes me sad :/ I miss her. 


One of the things you could admire about Emika is the talent of of crafting and designing that she possesses. She is good in it, I swear. She did customize one of my shoes before actually I'm still using them today, Emika is also a photographer and Photo blogger too. 









I always say to myself that I'll be that someone who could give myself a good worth, This girl Emika, lived a very good life despite of the people who left her, I admire her, she stayed strong and continued to be herself, she didn't give up, she risked things and lived happy with her friends and her loving mom. 


Emi, God bless to you and your family. Just keep on doing what you love to do. Never give up, God has already set good plans for you, never fade and never forget. Thank God for everything and I wish you all the best. I love you Emi <3


SHE'S IN JAPAN!





43/52 Small happy days with Cupcakes

My appetite for cupcakes seems to bother my sleep at night remembering the day my mom told me that she bought herself a "Red Velvet Cupcake" to satisfy her guilt and craving for the said food creature.

"Are you kidding me?" Mom replied "Lami man diay! (It was yummy indeed!)" I was speechless and thought of the cupcake.

Over thinking, I remembered the cupcakes from Leonas my friends bought last semester for three lovely teachers that helped us in school. Just simple gifts for these cool teachers during the celebration of World teacher’s day.  

( L-R `Cookies and cream ` Red Velvet ` Apple Cinnamon)  


My mind was shut, and now writing this 'sweet stuff" I srsly! As in, seriously craving for some.

Soon I'll have one ;) *Pokerface
