A Valentine's Date

Hubby surprised me with two dozen white rose buds an hour before midnight last night. I placed the flowers in our bedroom and we all woke up to the scent (and bloom) of roses this Valentine's Day. Sweet!

We had our Valentine dinner (early dinner, actually. 5pm) at Terriyaki Boy in Glorietta. That's because daughter and I are too tired to walk to Greenbelt and hubby is also tired from his consultation meeting with a client since morning. We had grilled salmon, agedashi tofu, asupara in terriyaki sauce and kani salad. We washed it down with tea and as always, daughter had her watermelon shake. Dessert was Bizu's famous macaroon's de paris (mint, chocolate & caramel). Claimed our starbucks Valentine buy1-take1 promo at 6750 branch. Yey!


We left the house early because hubby's meeting is at 11am. daughter and I headed off to Glorietta after dropping hubby off somewhere in Ayala Avenue. Window-shopped with daughter, had fun looking at the Havaianas store and K.O.B. clothes. Then brunch at The Soup Kitchen. Got a text from K (fashionista sister) that she's in Glorietta also. Met her at the AFF store before the three of us went window-shopping again. Mango doesn't interest us a bit even if it's still on sale. Then it's time for K to go back to her family but not before giving me P's (another fashionista friend) havaianas and rl orders which I promised to bring to her house later in the day. Actually, I told her we'll be going to Shang Plaza after Market-Market but since hubby is taking too long with his meeting, we're stuck in Glorietta. Got real hungry so daughter and I ate at McDonald's. Window-shopped for the nth time before deciding to stay in the car again (2nd time around. the first time, I literally fell asleep!) this time, armed with a magazine and King Corns (yummy Japanese corn). Then hubby texted us that he's heading to Glorietta so we agreed to meet at Terriyaki Boy for early dinner. After dessert, went to SM Makati to buy some home decors. After coffee and before going home, we went to P's house to bring her items- she's still out of the house so I just left it with her yaya. And right now, it's almost midnight and I'm craving for pizza! Harharhar!

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!
