Jipan Japanese Bakery: Split on my Artist Date

Last Wednesday, after a meeting, I got dropped off at SM Megamall at around 5PM. I wanted to go home but I figured it would be hard to go home alone so I decided to wait for my dad to finish and go home with him instead. 


Given that, I decided to date myself and go on an Artist Date. :) Thanks Sir Randy for this. Anyway, I went around and I finally got to go to Forever 21. I didn't buy anything there since I already bought 2 books and I didn't want to increase my spending further. Plus I bought another book from the Powerbooks before I left. Hehe. 


I bought these books: The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (as recommended by my SD), 

Manila by Day (directory of great restaurants, art places, unique shops, etc) 

and Tikim by Doreen Gamboa Fernandez (my idol!). :) 

I'm actually very excited to get started on these books :) I already told my friend Gian that we have to go to all of the restaurants listed in Manila by Day. Of course I was kidding. He told me to pick just one. 


It was approaching 7PM already and my dad still wasn't done so I decided to look around for a nice restaurant. I also needed to sit down because my left arm was aching from lugging the books all around. As I approached the area near Toy Kingdom, I suddenly saw Jipan Japanese Bakery. 

Teriyaki Boy: Another Restaurant for My Green Tea Ice Cream Dessert Cravings

I have several comfort foods that instantly make me smile - one of them is Green Tea Ice Cream. Yes, the traces of Chinese blood in me is kicking in. :P 


Last Tuesday, I had lunch with my friends in Teriyaki Boy, Alpha Land Mall. I arrived late so my friend later on had to rush back to work. I decided to stay for awhile and try out the restaurant's new desserts. I looked to my left and I felt my heart race as I saw a picture of the glorious Green Tea Ice Cream on their table standee! WOHOO! :) Another restaurant with Green Tea Ice Cream! :D YEAH! Haha, I'm such an impulse buyer :P

Izakaya Kikufuji Japanese Restaurant: Internship Days Flashback

Back in 2008, I decided to push back one summer subject to make room for internship. My course didn't require summer internships but I wanted to experience one anyway. 

It's been two years since I last saw my partner intern so we decided to have a mini reunion in Kikufuji Japanese Restaurant in Little Tokyo, Makati. I have never heard of this place before until I saw Mrs. Martinez's blog entry on the restaurant a few days before the reunion. I'm a big fan of Japanese food and Mrs. Martinez's blog entry made me even more excited about our reunion.
