Guess who's back, back again?

Will you believe me if I say that I missed blogging? Ugh, I am such a neglectful blogger (wait, isn't it the proper term used for those who own a blog? Whatevz!). I am so sorry that I do not have a lot of time in my hands to write about my misadventures in life. But hey, my ever dearest, I am back in your arms again, let's cuddle and spend my vacation together! :)


So, let me update you on what had happened the previous months. You see, I am on semestral break and I was supposed to be in Manila but things took place and I am stuck in my oh, so lovely town (pun intended) that is submerged in water since the Habagat that hit the country last August, and yes, it sucks so much that I want to high five it in the face. With a bench of some sorts. K, I am throwing a fit again! Seriously speaking, it brought too much hassle not only to our family but also to those who were affected by that calamity. It was the first time for my family  to experienced this, that there was a need for us to relocate because it's just not safe to stay at home anymore. After two and a half months of being away from ze Chateaux Altobar, we finally got back to our place last week and just when we have some finishing touches left to do; our home welcomed yet another flood which even made my "vacation" a series of packing and unpacking extravaganza. And up to date, there is still water inside the house, it wouldn't just leave us alone!

On a lighter note, I had spent more time with my kid because usually, it was just us in our then temporary home. I had prepared (if not cooked) food for him, hihi, and we had watched lots and lots of movies, but our most favorite is the Harry Potter series, we are such late bloomers, we know (I think I have to write another entry for this)! Also,I had finally read some of John Green and David Levithan's novels, good Lord, they are geniuses with words (maybe, I should write a separate blog post for this as well)! See, it is a good life, after all! :D

Academically speaking, the first semester had been kinder to me, despite all the hours I had spent on the first part of my thesis and the library hopping that goes with it. As I had mentioned previously, I only have three semesters left til graduation, isn't it awesome? By the way, guess who just made her mom and her kiddo proud? Meeee!!! Haha, I got my grades yesterday and it was indeed gratifying! :3

There goes the three months that I had been away. I wish I could go through every details of my exciting life, but it will just bore you to death and will make you think how lame I am, haha! So, let me just share with you some of the photos that I had accumulated over the previous months and had eaten a lot of space in my phone memory, hrhr!


Photos taken last August 5 to 8



Food and movies, what a very nice combination! 



Pasta and sweets 



October 20, ah, finally, no more flood!



I super missed my room!
I know you can see the Twilight Saga books, to please not judge, haha, twas just a phase in my life when I thought Edward Cullen was hot, heh!


Oplan Linis Balur~



Back to square one but it's all good because there's really no place like home! ;)



And then it started to rain again last Thursday. Boooo!!!



To wrap it all up, isn't this one hell of a good news?


P.S. 
Hoping to be able to write more often.
Inspiration, come to momma!!!

Tryna be a food blogger or NOT

Haiiii! I still exist! And yes, I've been M.I.A. again because of  too much stuff to do in school, and hurrah, it's our thesis year already! You read it right! My 3rd year in college is dedicated on researching, printing, revising, surveying, computing, defending and all the works you can imagine in thesis making. I am so thrilled because I only have 3 semesters left and it's goodbye university already! 

In other news, I had discovered a decent hang-out place in our town through 4square,  whenever the GPS is on, it kept on detecting this Nanot's Spaghetti House and I wondered where it was located and then one time Carlo and I were walking along some street here and  then hallelujah, there it was! Presenting my current favorite place, tanaaannnn!!!


Ze facade
Good thing that they have tables outside for the smokers.

Ze interior~ 
I like the dining set, it makes you feel like you're just in your grandparentals' home. 
The place is tiny which makes eating more intimate, LOL, intimate~

They do not just serve pastas, their menu goes from various sandwiches, salads, sizzling and rice, American, Japanese and Mexican dishes, which are really affordable and sumptuous! :)  Here are some of  mi favoritos!

cheese french fries, crab meat and cheese sticks and their deconstructed nacho salad

chicken fingers and fries --Carlo's favorite

chili and cheese sticks is P10.00 each

goddamn! this is sooo delish!

Carbonara is so tasty!


Fettucine and chicken @ P93.50 only!

Nanot's Spaghetti

Ziti

Lasagna

walang kasawa-sawa :))

chicken teriyaki

California maki tastes so fresh and so delish!

Mocha, Cafe Latte (my favorite), Strawberry and Black Forest Shake
@ only P 48.50 per serving

Sansrival, Choco Lava, Choco-Caramel Lava
Ah, I love sweets and I am just so delighted that they started serving desserts already! 

It's fun to have a place like this in Santa Cruz, it's a nice break from the fast food junks we get to eat on lazy days. I am looking forward to their pizzas which the owner said will be available soon. The crews are accommodating and friendly. The powder room is always clean. For the nth time, lemme say, the food is really nomz and affordable and FATTENNNIIIIGGGG!!! :))

What a joy it is to spend the rainy afternoon with a tumbler of hot choco and a good book. ♥♥♥



Bacon makes everything right. Nuff said!



Went back to La Laguna, just because.


 LOL, the giants were Gov. ER Ejercito and his wife Mayor Maita Ejercito.



How could you not know about these men in barrels? ;)



I've been wondering where Carlo is, only to find out that he's dipped into the water.

My niece, Dane visited us, she's such a darling! ^_^


Study nook turned innernet haven, at least for the entire "summer vacation" only




 You should read this book before the movie comes out. I love Charlie and Patrick and Sam.

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."



Summady's enjoying the water!
