Thirst Quenchers

It was last year when I first went to Sidcor Weekend Market after transferring sites. That day, I was with my cousin and our neighbor Ria and we just went there to check it out, but of course we did some money so we can buy certain items that caught our interest.

It was a bigger site than the former location. A lot of goodies to choose from... and a lot of food to eat, too! Roaming around the market can be tiring and when we saw this stall selling drinks, we knew it was the perfect thirst quencher.

My first choice was the Citrus Malunggay (Moringa) because I do eat moringa as vegetable, but it was the first time I saw moringa drink. It was a very light drink - kinda like water with a hint of citrus and sweetness. Ria chose the Pineapple Cucumber, very refreshing, too, but it was a little thicker in consistency.

We rarely visit the market place, since this visit, I always make it a point to buy myself a cup of the Citrus Malunggay whenever I go there. It's been a while since I last dropped by the Weekend Market, hopefully before the year ends I can have the time to go there and shop...

...as well as take pictures.

Sunflower Cupcake

I miss updating this blog! Well, dieting and exercising can be time consuming, but I will definitely try to maximize my time and manage it wisely so I can do everything I need to do.

Anyway, my picture share today is a cupcake given to sister when she (and mom) attended a wedding. The couple did give out souvenirs (pictures and small potted plants), but some of the guests were able to receive some cupcakes, too, which my sister decided to take home.

I photographed the cake the time sister handed it to me, but I got to taste the cake the day after. I only ate half of it - just so I would know how it taste like. I love how pastry artists are becoming more and more talented with their ways of presenting cupcakes. I hope next time I can see a cupcake with a quarter moon topper. :)

Mango Cheesecake Coffee Cooler

I admire people who can keep up with multiple blogs and still have a "full" life to live. I definitely need some lessons on effective time management, but recalling this certain blog thingy wherein one takes the challenge to blog on all days of the month (gosh, I forgot what it's called***), I am trying to achieve just that, and in order to do that, I need to really devote a little of my time to each of my blogs so I can be successful. This challenge does not apply to my travel blog Jenn on the Go, because editing pictures for that blog would eat my whole day.

Anyway, on this blog, I post pictures of different colors per day, and since there is no specific color meme for Sunday, I will post my Mellow Yellow Monday posts every Sundays.


Today am sharing to you the Mango Cheesecake Coffee Cooler, which mom had when he had a food trip at Cafe City 1888 (SM City Fairview). It sure was interesting to combine mango with coffee, but since I am not a big fan of mango (I do eat mangoes, yes, but I can also live without it), I didn't really like it that much. Mom said the mango gave it an interesting twist, so I guess one should really like mangoes to appreciate this drink. Hahaha.

It's been a while since we last ate there. While I don't really miss it, sister seeing me editing the pictures made her wish we would eat there on our next food trip as she wasn't around the time we went there (I was with mom and bro). Should this push through, I think I will just go for their light snacks and a cup of hot coffee.



*** Edit (4:54pm) - the term am looking for was NaBloPoMo.

From Our Morning Walk

Making another two-in-one post, I always forget to post my MYM post on a Sunday.




Sister and I went out Saturday morning to walk and jog. Since this was our day to be out and "be one with nature," I took my camera with me, so I can capture images that would take my interest.

However, we saw rain clouds from afar, and it was actually raining at our would be destination. We had to cut our walk and take a different route, but we still was able to get in touch with nature, because of these pictures.

I took this near the neighborhood's chapel. The yellow flower looked a bit like squash's but am not sure if it's the same plant as I still haven't seen a squash flower that looked like this (ones I saw had a little pointy petal tips).

I sure hope this weekend the skies will be clear so sis and I can enjoy a much longer walk, and jog as well.

Yellow and Green

I was supposed to update this blog yesterday, but because the weather was cloudy and that it rained in the afternoon, internet has been a big pain in the bottoms. :) So... this means I'd post a two-in-one post for today.


This yellow/black bird was something I saw when we visited Bohol's biggest python. Since many wanted to get up close to the snake and had their pictures taken, we decided to leave the cage after we had our turn. Some of our companions still had to take their turn, and because there were other animals around, I went to take more pictures. The cage of this kind of bird (there were about 5 birds in the cage) was located somewhere people can't see at first glance, I just had to thank their yellow feathers that quickly caught my attention.

This picture was pretty much SOOC, and I really loved how my point and shoot camera was able to create that depth of field even if I was shooting on "auto" mode (because I asked mom to take a picture of me near the snake). Actually, as long as there's enough source of light, this camera of mine can do wonders. :)

By the way... I was pretty amazed, too, that even if the space between the chicken wires were quite small, zooming in on the bird made me eliminate the traces of wire. :)

For my Green Monday post, I share to you some stuff inside my loot bag when I attended the Blogapalooza at Bonifacio High Street last Saturday. The loot bag had so much stuff in it, but I noticed I grouped a few green colored items close to each other, so before I placed the items back in the loot bag, I took this picture first.

Yeah, Christmas came early to me (and 149 other bloggers) this year. :)

A Wasp, Maybe?

Like what I shared on my other blog, this yellow flowering plant was something I took while vacationing in Cebu. After taking several pictures of the bee, I was able to see this critter - which I think is a wasp (correct me if I am wrong).

Ain't it cute? The flowers were yellow... and the critter had a hint of yellow, too! :)
