Tokyo Cafe

I think what they want me to understand is that, Tokyo Cafe - is an Italian Restaurant in Tokyo...

The restaurant is very clean, has nice lighting, with white tables and chairs... One wall displays a black and white picture of Milan (i think). Their menu outside the restaurant looked really tempting. Product photography really does a great job...

Here are some samples of what I'm talking about... (Sorry for my blurry photos)...




Check out their prices! Gambas for 240 pesos??? Again, apologies for the blurry photos, no SLR that time but too precious to waste, so had to make do with my camera phone...

And now, for the real thing... Here's what we ordered:

Creamy Shrimp Spaghetti
Not too rich, but generous serving of shrimp! Lovettt!!!

Salpicao
Lots of garlic and the beef is tender...

Gambas
At 240 pesos??? I couldn't ask for more...

Pizza A must try!!!
Now this pizza is reallllllly good... It's a thin crust pizza with fresh tomato sauce!

Not on photo:

6 cups of Japanese Rice
1 Burger Steak
Though I wouldn't recommend it since it is not as spectacular as it was described in their menu...
Not too far from Jollibee's burger steak actually....

1 Frozen Tiramisu
Tasteless, not good... Don't order!

Guess how much our bill was!?!?!

P1,495.00

I was really shocked when I saw the bill... Checked it and it was pretty clear... No discounts, freebies, whatsoever... Their food is just simply cheap!!!

Am i coming back???

I already did... Ordered the pizza again!

Tokyo Cafe is located at the Ground Floor of
The Block (SM North Edsa) near Bread Talk

Celebrating Fonzie's Birthday

(Sorry if this post is longggg overdue...)

Just to treat the kids for a day... Anyway it was Fonzie's 2nd birthday last June 25, party-less. I brought them to Festival Mall's Pixie Forest. I had no choice, I think this is the only mall that has indoor amusement center, with the roller coasters, trains, etc... I miss the one in Robinson's Galleria, wish they didn't close it. I actually forgot its name...




After a whole day of rides, we had dinner at Union Jack Tavern...


It was referred by Miss B. It is an English Pub, with a small deli at the back of the restaurant...




I loved the Fish, (Dory) and I especially liked the Green Peas (mushy green thing) right there! It may not look too cute but it tastes real good! The beef pie, which they highly recommend is also good...
I liked the crust. The mashed potato is thumbs down
(tastes like instant mashed 'tatoes)...

Tribute to MJ, Here's to you, King of Pop!!!

This was in 2007, my brother, hubby, brother in law, and cousin danced for the company's Christmas party...

Again, as an 80's girl, I feel saddened by MJ's death... He will never be replaced...

Thank You...

I haven't had the time to thank all of you for the wonderful gifts you gave me... Each and everyone of you gave me something that I would truly use!!!
You guys know me so well... Thank you very much!!!

But this afternoon, I received another gift... Was really wondering why my DS didn't give me anything on my birthday... But I was too shy to ask her coz' I know it's kinda' impolite right???

Anyway, I didn't expect a gift from her anymore... She gives me little things every now and then, treats me often, gives me clothes she can't wear, make up she can't use, bags she doesn't want, food she can't eat, everything!!! I know you guys know how she is to me... So I never had the courage to ask her for any gift because that would only magnify how "spoiled" i am!!! (brat)

But still, she gave me this...


I was so surprised, I nearly cried...

This is my dream...


I find it hard using the mini laptop's pad...



How come she read my mind??? Are we that close that she's always right with the things that I want????

Thank you Dear Sister... Thank you for everything...

My Back to the 80's Birthday

I know it's cheesy... Overused, passe, corny... I remember we did an 80's party 5 years ago,
and yet, I would love to do it again and again... Let's just say that I am an 80's girl and
that I've become what I am now because of what the 80's has done to me...

During the 80's, I've learned to love music... That was the time when all I wanted to do
was tape (record) (read: casette tape TDK 60 minutes) some songs that I've heard
from parties at Corinthian clubhouse or Valle Verde Clubhouse,
and from my cousin who loves music also...


We had to ask some friends who were friends of friends of the Audio Venture,
Social Distortion, Forsc Inc, (famous party mobiles) and so on...
I don't know if you guys are familiar with mobiles...
They were the people responsible to the party's lighting and sounds...
A group of DJs with equipment, so to speak... And they weren't using CD's...
They used records and lots of turntables, strobe lights, laser lights (pag matindi ang mobile)
and mirror ball (if cheapo, hahaha)...
Gosh, I'm so old...
Anyways, i'm having fun just telling you all about my precious teen years...

Since I am now, entering the phase of the last quarter of my life (hope not), I decided to celebrate it reminiscing the most enjoyable time of my life...

So, here it goes...

My cousin Gary (he provided me with fresh new music in the 80's - faves were Depeche Mode,
Lotus Eaters, The Pale Fountains, etc.)

My sister who helped me dress up during the 80's... During that time, I used to buy clothes from
Triangle and Esprit at Cinderella...




I prepared little somethings for the guests who would come in impressive 80's outfits...
Made the date June 5, 1988 (feeling debutante).


The Winners:

Gary - the Strutter
Beng - Madonna

I can't believe this man's effort: He really had to be baduy!!!

We danced the whole night, up until 2am...
It was a different Friday night for us since we all were

dressed up and listened to 80's music...

Up to now, I am still happy... Still smiling...
I never regret spending an 80's party with my friends even though
many people find it so (baduy) passe and cheesy...

I thank everyone, for taking the time to text me, PM me, YM me, email me, call me, and of course, my family, my Friday Club, thank you for making my day very, very happy....

Here are some highlights of the event:

The Girls

The Boys

The Footloose Dance

Rico Mambo Dance

Funk

My favorite cake from Costa Brava

I'm 40!!!

Dance of the winning couple

If you're gonna ask me:

Would I celebrate my birthday again doing the 80's theme???

My answer would be:

I'm thinking of celebrating it yearly with the same theme over and over again...

Thank you everyone for the greetings!!!

The CW Upfront 2009

No gowns this time...

The Gossip Girl cast looked so hot.... Or maybe, Summery and Sexy...

I like Blake's revealing jumpsuit... She looked so sexy and the color looks good on her...

Leighton surely pulled off this masculine suit with black shorts and sexy pumps!!!

Jessica Szohr looked comfy and sophisticated with this colored assymetrical dress...

Taylor dressed up like her character lil' Jenny but I think she looked a little mature with this ensemble... I don't know, probably her lipstick???

These two gentlemen really sizzled the list... They're the hottest!!!

My Lashes... Again...

At last, I finally got a hold of this so-called eyelash vitamin... It's Revitalash...




I was able to take pictures of my lashes before using Revitalash...
Pardon for these odd pictures, I used my camera phone...






I started putting on Revitalash last May 9, 2009...

At exactly two weeks, I noticed that my lower lashes became longer, especially on the inner eye area... But I'll give it another 2 weeks for a fuller effect before posting pictures...

I just hope that this is the solution to my lash problem...
