Binondo


June 30, 2012
Binondo, Manila

After such a long time I get to see again my UP MMC orgmates. How? A food trip in Binondo! It was raining on my way to UP and honestly I was in the verge of backing out. I hate commuting when it's raining. But I was already in UP so, fight fight despite the rain.

It's my first time to go to Binondo. We took a train to Recto, then a tricycle to Binondo.

Our first stop, Wai Ying.  We ordered a lot, I don't know how they're called. I have photographs though. From Wai Ying, we had Fried Siopao across the street. And then a long walk around Binondo. Bought some Hopia at Salazar's Bakeshop and Eng Bee Tin. Funny we were at Chinatown but Gene Mark was looking for Korean ice cream. Luckily we found one. I ordered Almond Tea :) We were all longing to have a seat and rest our legs from walking. Cafe Mezzanine was the answer. What a relief to have eaten here. Cafe Mezzanine is a volunteer fireman's cafe. All the earnings here are donated to the firemen in the area.

We weren't able to try everything. Soooo I'll definitely go back.

Letting Go

Reading Thought Catalog can bring you a myriad mix of emotions, heartbreaking, sad, contented, relieved, happy, fortunate and a whole lot more. This particular article highlighted important points as if slapping me in the face to wake up! When someone decides you’re not the one for them, don’t argue with them. When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses...

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
