2011 Christmas Wishlist

Something horrible happened to me yesterday. Now because of that, I had to do my Christmas wish list all over again. I need those things more than what I initially wanted. And my sister was awfully kind of her to ask for my wish list for Christmas. I'm so jealous that she has lots of money. But the bad part is that she won't be given money by my parents anymore.

Things I want for Christmas are...

Lenovo Laptop Charger. I kinda don't have a charger for my laptop. I would really need this to be able to do my school work.

Make up kit. I really need that for school. I just need something that would make me look presentable in school. So maybe a foundation, blush on and lipstick.

School supplies. I know it isn't really important. But I don't like asking my classmates for those things. I mean, it is annoying. What I need is.. A stapler, staple wires, scissors, glue stick, correction pen, highlighter, another black gtec.

Money. So that I can save up to buy a new itouch. And maybe an earphone as well.

Bag. I have lots of bags already. But I just want a new bag. Preferably a jansport one.

My ultimate wish is to be able to recover my bag which seems impossible already. Oh well.


Merry Christmas everyone! ;)

Sacre Coeur


Sacre Coeur in Paris. You can go there by taking the metro, and go down Anvers on Line 2. It was a kind of short walk, and you would pass though different souvenir shops. You could go shopping there. It's cheap in a way. Interesting thing about this, the whiter the walls are, the cleaner the air in Paris is.

Oh, tip. Do not talk to the gypsies there especially those who are offering the friendship bracelets. We were told that once you entertain them, they will never let to go and force you to pay for the bracelet.

I miss France <3

Vatel Paris

Last November 9, 2011, we went to eat in our mother school, Vatel Paris. The sad part is that we paid for the food  so we felt like we weren't not welcome. I didn't really like the food that they served because of the strong flavors. It was too strong and heavy. But even if we paid a large sum of money for the food, I was full from the first course. (It was a four course meal by the way) I guess the money was worth it.

The names of the food are in French based on the menu card given to us.


Grosses gambas parfumees a la coriandre, chutney de tomates puree de citrons confits
Supreme de poulet fermier roti, sauce ivoire et lasagnes aux champignons

Fromages frais et affines salade melangee
Dacquoise a la mousse matcha pralines roses, caramel et yuzu
Enjoy looking at the food.

Kapitolyo Food Trip: Milky & Sunny


Milky & Sunny is a kind of new restaurant in the Kapitolyo area. Celebrities like the Magalona's have already blogged about this restaurant. So we decided to eat here since it was new. And we ate breakfast there which was just perfect since they serve breakfast all day.


They actually had a variety of choices. You could buy rice meals, pancakes or waffles or cereal. You could get the perfect breakfast meal here. I couldn't actually choose what to eat. I really wanted to eat a lot. We got the Breakfast Enchiladas.



  My sister and mom got the Tapas. We were told that this was their best seller. I liked the garlic rice. And their special sauce was delicious as well. I think the tapa was a bit few for the price.


I got my Tomatoes, Mozarella and Pepperoni Omelette. I just love omelettes especially ones with cheese. <3 My problem was that it was not the type of cooking I liked. I liked well done eggs. And it was mostly pepperoni, I wanted more cheese. But it was still yummy.



My brother ordered the Bacon & Spam Pasta. Serving was not too generous. I thought it lack flavors. I wanted to taste more of the spam. And there was few piece of bacon. Yummy nonetheless.


My siblings and I got the Chocolate Hazelnut French Toast. I have no complains with it. I thought it was not too sweet but sweet enough for me.



I loved the ambiance. It was very comfortable. It is a very nice place to eat with family and friends. However, you would need to save a bit for the prices are a bit pricy. You could bring your family so you won't have to spend. (Joke!) I also thought that serving was too small for the price.



If you want something else to eat or drink, there are different stalls beside the store. We have a newly opened Moonleaf store that sells milk teas.


I shall eat here again and taste their pancakes.

Vineyards in Bordeaux


I am really blessed to be able to visit France again. I know my parents didn't really want me to go but thankfully, they allowed me to. One of the highlights of the tour for me was our visit to Saint-Emilion.

Saint-Emilion is a famous wine region of Bordeaux (which happens to be the most famous wine region in France). It is located on the right bank of the Dordogne river. From our lessons in wine appreciation classes, the Merlot grape is the common grape used. I also learned that Saint-Emilion is also considered an UNESCO Heritage Site.

The owner of Chateau Lanoite gave us a summary on how they produce wines. He is really rich. Most wine growers only have a small hectare of land. He has a big chunk of land. His wines are also of high quality.

I was finally able to go to a vineyard and watch how wine is produced.Too bad I was not able to take a picture of grapes that just harvested. In wine making, summer time is usually harvest time. We visited Bordeaux during autumn. During autumn, wine growers would do the vintaging process. From what I remember, vintaging is the process when they would bottle the wines. The vines would prepare itself for winter. Although there were no ripe grapes nor grapes with noble rot, I was still happy to be able to visit a vineyard. It was really cool \m/
