nothing like sweets and coffee to perk you up on a cold, rainy day

A typhoon just passed by Manila so it's been raining cats and dogs the past two days. Before going home, my brother Coby and I decided to drop by Chocolate Kiss near the Tomas Morato area (yes, there's a branch there right beside the main branch of Papemelroti). We had the Chocolate Kiss Suite, which has three sample slices of any cake flavor you want. We had Kahlua, Devil's Food Cake, and Carrot Cake--all three are TDF! I had a cup of cappuccino to satisfy my caffeine craving.

After Chocolate Kiss, I dragged my brother to the Papemelroti shop and I must say it's a really pretty store. Definitely eye candy! Papemelroti's main store deserves a post of its own and I will have to go back to take pictures of all the lovely items there. Of course I had to buy a few things, and I'll share this with y'all soon.

The week's almost up and I feel sad because I really don't want it to end, mainly because things have been happening so fast and it's as if I'm running out of time to accomplish the endless list of things I need to do. Workaholic, tsk tsk. Oh well, I'll be having a bit of fun this weekend. My friend's a member of the Ateneo de Manila College Glee Club (ACGC) and they have concert this Saturday which I'll be watching. I miss singing! Watching the concert will make me miss it even more. Hopefully former chorale friends will be able to watch as well.

I hope this week was awesome for everyone :)

getting better...day 5

Toxic day at work today, as usual. Juggling two projects--both in the implementation stage so I've been practically running around making calls, fixing questionnaires and schedules and other documents, facilitating field briefings and other meetings for the past few days. I'm hoping that I'll go out of town this weekend--for work, still. But it's an out of town trip!! Who wouldn't want to go out of town, even if it's for work right? Hahaha yeah yeah I'm a weirdo. I have a love-hate relationship with my job. I hate it when I'm super duper swamped with work, but I love my job nevertheless.

So today's the 5th day of my diet...I had some sort of wholewheat/oatmeal cracker (?) for late lunch. I had dinner with Mishi at Shangrila. We ate at Green Tomato--she had the kani salad and I had the shrimp and feta pasta. Mish gave me some of her salad--twas quite good, actually. It had shredded seaweed, too :) I wasn't able to finish my pasta so I brought home the leftovers and I'll probably eat it tomorrow for lunch.

Mish and I did a bit of window shopping at Shang...got a bit depressed because I really wanted to buy a couple of items but I didn't want to spend my money. I need to save up for the gifts I'll be giving friends and family this Christmas. Ugh. Don't you just hate it that you know you have money but you can't buy anything because you're saving up for something else?

I'm soooo craving for Chocolate Kiss' fish and chips. I mean, I am really REALLY craving for it. Shiet.
