Street food so good..

  Street food in the Philippines are often found in Carts, Small tables along the side walk, or roaming around populated areas. Some filipino favorites are fish balls, nuts with or without skin,  fried intestines of chickens, halo-halo, balot or penoy, and many more.

  The picture above shows the beef mami. It is also a popular street food dish among filipinos. It contains noodles, chunks of beef and vegetables. It soothes the tummies of people that eat them. It is served hot and refills you with soup again without any additional payment.

  There is also a tandem with the beef mami. When you mix or eat it with rice, it is now called pares. Pares is a filipino word that when translated to english, it is "pair". It is also very budget friendly that even locals have them for their dinner.
  I was walking to school when I came a across a food cart surrounded by construction men and students. I went closer and see for myself what they were surrounding at for. It was this beef noodles that they were lining up for. Since i didn't eat my breakfast yet, I went on and ordered one dine in beef noodles for myself.
  Manong (how we call older lads or seniors) served it hot and smoking. Oh! it looked mouth watering. I just couldn't wait for it to cool down. But I didn't want to get my tongue burnt so I blew it till it is cool enough to eat. It was good and okay. I still had this thinking at the back of my mind that I'm still not sure if the dish was clean or the utensils that i was using was clean. I wasn't sure of how it will affect my stomach after eating eat but it was not a regretful decision to try it. It was satisfying in fact.

~slurping is not a good table manner (except for some culture)

Afternoon Tea Therapy

After my dance practice and tiring day at school (That's why there is a water bottle there) , my friend and I walked home together. Her name... well she's popularly known as Bern, so let's just cal her Bern. On our way, She mentioned about this new tea shop inside the metropolitan hospital. She asked me if i wanted to come and have tea with her, at first I refused of course, not because I didn't want to but due to I'm a little tight on budget. She insisted of treating me anyway after I refused a few times. While waiting for our tea, we chit chat a bit about things that happened during our practice. After a while the barista called us and served the tea. It tasted yummy and creamy with just the right tangy flavor of the tea well blended together. I will surely go back there and purchase different flavors of their tea. :)

~See you Cheezers..

Nikki's love for Kawaii

My love for Kawaii started the summer of 2014. I saw a page at Facebook called "Rainbowholic". In an instant I started getting interested at what I'm reading at the page. I continued to like it by checking out the page everyday and waiting for a new post. I also searched for more pages related to kawaii and followed it as well.

I got more curious of their culture. One day a friend of my cousin invited us for an over night at her place, we met at an SM Mall near her place, she said that we should eat somewhere because she's not sure that her parents cooked dinner yet. We went to a Japanese based themed restaurant called Rai rai ken i think and she ordered this amazing but expensive sushies! It was heaven in my mouth to have my first taste of that kind of sushi. It was really really good so it built confidence in me to try out other Japanese meals. I tried their famous 'bento box' and tempura. what can I say? It was worth every penny!

At the rainbowholic page i saw a post about the Ozine Anime convention fest. I begged my boyfriend if we could go there even though its not his thing.And so we did. I got more inspired after seeing more people who adored the japan tradition of cosplaying. They were unique people who knew how to put the 'I' in individual. I wasn't a complete super fan of Japanese Cosplaying but i was an appreciator of it. For me it was cool and fun and of course different in the best way it could.

I hope to one day visit the streets of Japan and experience more from the land of the rising sun.

Sore throat and my first post :)

So i have a sore throat... and a ton of research work for my Literature class which i decided was enough of a reason to start my blogging days again. LOLs :P
I've had this sore for about three days already and maaaaan does it blah! I have an audition tomorrow for a singing contest that is showed on a nation wide audience and i don't know if i can even say my name without me sounding like an old man ordering pizza at a rock concert! You could just imagine, my deep deep deep blobber nut pain. Good thing my friend who's voice was forever a broken glass is here(at my place), makes me feel not so much of an old man *blush*.
P.S. My research work is about le poets and le poems of different countryzzz by the way.
