The Moonleaf Chronicles Continue

...or is that supposed to be "continues"?? Oh, anyhow

Day #8: Melinda at Moonleaf Tea Shop

Who is Melinda says you? Why, she's my dearie sister!

Ten years ago (or is that 10 months ago?) we didn't get along as well as this day. But, hey, we're both all grown up and walking towards one *ultimate* purpose and that's one thing I'm absolutely greatful to God about.

A  tidbit of info which she probably doesn't know: She's my favorite shopping buddy. I can drag her just about anywhere (if she's in the mood) and I wouldn't feel judged for my tastes or lack thereof. She's got more energy than me, anyways (she loves window shopping, I don't really). And, in case she remarks something I do not like, I could easily overrule her. Haha. 

Baguio Arrival Routine

Day #5: Myself at Volante, Baguio City

I consider myself to be extremely loyal. It shows even in seemingly mababaw things. I am often adventurous when it comes to going unknown places, especially when it comes to food (walang kokontra)but I love routine most of all. I love coming back again and again to old favorites and ordering the same stuff forevermore. Case-in-point? Simple Line Royal Oolong Milk tea with pearls, medium and less sweet. haha.

 And here is another case though this is significantly harder to get by: Breakfast meal at Pizza Volante, Vigan longganisa and Sunny side up at 5:00 in the morning. After a walk around Luneta hill. (and if my mom were reading this she'd probably scold me for many reasons :D)

Top: Session road at dawn is sooo...empty! L-R: My travel-worn look :), Breakfast, real hot cocoa.

Behold The 30-day Food Blog Challenge

Yes. I am finally signing up for this. I have been thinking about how to do a blog challenge consistent with the theme of this so called food blog and I finally decided on this one. Here is how it came about:

Day #1. Norma at Mcdonald's UST (aka my favorite Mcdonald's branch in Metro Manila)

 

 

Mr backpack guy had a good sense to get out of there..but left his bag!! :D

I invited Norma, my officemate and friend, to our Super Friends Sunday at church telling her we had a very special guest (no less than people's champion and disciple of Christ, Manny Pacquiao :)). The previous day she had gone to a decision making seminar of sorts with our other friend and her church youth group. I was so blessed by her coming and sharing some lessons she has learned because I knew those are what she needed right now (Hurrah for answered prayers!). I feel that this is her breakthrough season and I praise God immensely for it! 

And so i had wanted to do a post about her saying how blessed I was, indeed. That's when the idea for a blog collection of portraits came. But then this is a food blog, right? So I had to improvise there a bit.

Hence, this. 30-Day Dates Blog Challenge, now playing.
