Highland Hits

Tagaytay for a few hours after work, Arranged by my mom and 2 uncles. THAT is how cool my family is. Thankful for the slow-mo movement of everything (it's very different when we're here with the kids.)

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the ...

Purple Oven at Sta. Rosa

Image
J and i are big fana of The Purple Oven. As the supplier of Starbucks for pastries, and Total Bonjour cafes, they are a reliable source of tasty delights. We visited their Sta. Rosa branch in Solenad 2 a couple of months back with the kids, and picked up some goodies on the way home from Highlands. Our favorites are the chocolate macadamia cookies (available in Starbucks as well, but in larger sizes) and this chocolate bar similar to revel bars. Do not expect to be able to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee here. They only have 1 small table, and it's more of a take-out store. For Christmas they have special purple boxes available that are really cute! Prices aren't cheap at the Purple Oven but the taste is always reliable. To find this store at Solenad 2, look for Toastbox, it's somewhere behind it.

Ramen Kuroda (BF Homes)

Image
My high school barkada remains my closest friends to this day, and we meet up regularly in the South area to catch up (since we're all based there.) Usually we meet in our favorite Cafe Breton, but for a change they suggested we meet up in BF. They suggested Ramen Kuroda, a place I've never heard of. Now, I am a HUGE, GIMONGOUS FAN of ramen. I kid you not. *Oink oink* Justin is a super duper fan of ramen as well. Well, we're fans of most food, but still. We are ramen snobs, haha! Yushoken still rates #1 on our last, closely followed by Ukkokei (did I even spell that right?). I always love trying new ramen places out, so I was definitely game for this! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ramen Kuroda was a large restaurant near other familiar restaurants in BF. Most restaurants in BF are teeny hole-in-the-wall places (still with yummy food, of course), but Ramen Kuroda was quite large and could easily seat 50 people. The restaurant had no-nonsense interiors wi...
