7Election

April 26, 2013 in Beverages, Soda

I’ve made it a point to stay away from politics for several reasons, one of them is because I don’t like encountering people who refuses to respect my opinion about a political issue or a political figure just because it’s not the same as theirs.8-| I don’t want to waste my time trying to defend my opinions, and really, I shouldn’t have to, I am entitled to my own opinions.

So anyway, before you get the wrong idea, this isn’t a political post. Well not really. It’s more of a call-to-action sort of thing.:D

If you’ve been to a 7-Eleven store near you recently, you’ve probably seen these cups on display, it’s an alternative to the usual Gulp! cup that 7-Eleven stores offer.

7-Eleven decided to have their own election and they’ve aptly dubbed it, 7Election. How fitting right?:D

I’ve been passing by Sweetmates in SM on my way to the parking lot ever since I can remember, but it wasn’t until last week that I finally got to sample the various desserts they have to offer.

I am a sucker for desserts, and because I have a friend who makes awesome desserts, I am quite the critic when I sample anything that she doesn’t make. I’ve often been disappointed by too-dry chocolate cakes, hard-as-rocks cookies and yolky-gross cheesecakes that I think I may have actually developed a phobia and trying out new dessert places is not something I would normally do, I tend to stick to what I know because I know I won’t be disappointed, but once in a while, I feel adventurous and allow myself to leap without looking.

 

Lucky for me, Sweetmates did not disappoint and I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything I sampled was.

Green Coffee and Weight Loss

May 31, 2012 in Beverages, Coffee, Stroke of Luck

During the First Baguio Blog Conference, my co-host teased me and said that I was not a credible food blogger because I didn’t have the body for it. Somehow, he thinks I should have weighed more. Smile with tongue out Understandable since he assumes I eat a lot, which I do, but I am blessed with a fast metabolism so I don’t gain weight that fast. I should say was blessed with a fast metabolism, because lately, it feels that my metabolism has slowed down a lot, the end result, me having a gut, a love handle, a muffin top. Smile with tongue out

Okay, so mine isn’t this big yet, but still, it’s not a pretty sight. Smile with tongue out {photo from google.com search results}

It’s actually not a pretty sight, I feel self conscious and I find myself inhaling and holding my breath for photos just so my gut won’t come out in the photos. Smile with tongue out It’s hard to believe that I used to have a 24 inch waist line, and now, I am a 27 to 28, 29 if I just ate. Smile with tongue out
