As soon as we set foot in La Union, everybody has been craving for Halo-Halo. It was weird because the weather's a bit stormy when we were there, yet we were craving for halo-halo.

When we knew that Halo-Halo de Iloko was in our itinerary, we couldn't stop blurting halo halo the whole trip. Unfortunately, Halo Halo de Iloko is a town away from the surfing spot of La Union. We just decided to have lunch there before heading back to Manila.


Halo Halo de Iloko is a pretty place for a restaurant. It is a house transformed into a quaint but nicely decorated restaurant. If you follow the directions from the Plaza, you wouldn't miss this place.

Eastwood is really a good place for foodies with a lot of good places and choices to try. You see, I live just at the outskirts of Eastwood City, so planning where to eat makes me giddy. Lately, I've been really eyeing this quaint cafe in Felina Corporate Tower in Eastwood.

I've been aware of "cupcake craze" going on as a lot of cupcake stores opening here and there. I've read a lot of good reviews but what made me more excited was I found out that they were the same as the makers of Gigi's Custaroons, I said I must definitely try their cupcakes.

Gefseis is a newly opened restaurant when we visited in La Union. It's location is near the highway, across the Sebay Surf Central . It was recommended by a friend so we decided to try it for lunch before surfing.


Honestly, it was my first time trying Greek food. I shy away from Greek restaurants in the Metro because it was way beyond my budget and that I'm a bit hesitant about the strong flavors of Greek Food.

The prices of the food at Gefseis was affordable compared to the Metro, so I didn't hesitate to give it a try. I ordered the Chicken souvlaki while my friends had the Kotópoulo filéto.

One payday, my friends and I decided to go all the way to Kapitolyo just to satisfy our burger and fries craving.

Dave have recommended we try Charlie's Grind and Grill in Kapitolyo and had been raving about their delish burgers and fries. I was hesitant since I didn't want to travel all the way to Kapitolyo but both of them have been salivating, so I gave in for the sake of a good food trip.

Czai wasn't much into burgers and just wanted the fries. We decided to order The Black Angus Cheeseburger and split it in half just to get a taste of the burgers.

Time flies very fast. 2013 is finally taking it's final bow in a few minutes.

2013 had been a rollercoaster ride for me. I had it tough but I was glad I was able to make it through.


As 2014 is about to take over, I'll be taking with me all the lessons I learned and use it to face what 2014 will have instore for me.

2014, Bring it!

It's Christmas time in the city!

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!



2013 had been a roller coaster ride. I have a lot to be thankful for. God has been always good to me and it's always nice to acknowledge all the good things that I have received.

May everyone enjoy the holidays with their families and loved ones!

(As for me, I'll be crunching to finish all my backlogs and pending tasks before the year eds. I'm still hoping and crossing my fingers to finish everything. ^__^ )
