Banana Chocolate Pancakes

My take on Marc's Mango Chocolate Pancakes (but with Bananas)

Looks messy but it was good. 

Instead of Nutella, I melted 4 squares of Vochelle dark chocolate in the microwave, placed it in the middle of the two pancake pieces and placed bananas in there as well. 

Yummmmmeh!

Home Made Salad

I love Wendy's chicken ceasar salad so I've tried doing it homemade before but the taste was a total fail. Today I'm glad it's a little bit better. I vow to eat more healthy food during the day to compensate for the colossal bowl of milo cereal I ate as a midnight snack last night. Haha.

It ain't as healthy though, the chicken was fried.

Macaroni & Cheese

For lack of interesting things to eat from the fridge, I decided to finally cook this boxed Macaroni & Cheese I had. 

It's an easy 3-step process: Boil, Drain and Mix (cheese powder + milk + butter).

And this is how it looks like!

I got the spirals one so maybe that's why it kind of looks like sticky Java rice. First impression was it tasted really cheesy. Then about halfway through I felt I couldn't finish it. Nakakaumay. Especially now that it has gone cold and the gooey stuff made them stick together in blobs. Blegh. I'm seriously just pushing myself to eat it right now. I've been downing lots of apple juice in between to try and make it a little bit better but I think I'll just have to keep the rest for later.

2/5 stars

Resolutions

It's been a while since I made resolutions to do because I can't really keep them. Although that's the case, I'm determined to do these now. So, here they are:

a. Read at least 10 12 books

Need to finish Little Women, Currently reading Brida

I did 4 books in 2011 (or 4.5 because I didn't finish the other one, the book I borrowed was incomplete!). 3 of them finished in 3 days (but I had a lot of time then) so this year, I'm going for just 10 12. I discovered goodreads.com so that's where I'll look. I like Jane Austen books, stuff like the Hunger Games and Harry Potter and maybe some Goosebumps choose-your-adventure fun. Any good books to recommend?

Edit: 1 for every month, right?

b. Try all the drinks in Happy Lemon

Preferably once a week so I don't overload on the sugar and calories. Now I can't do the diet thing because of this.

c. Ride my bike at least once a week

Poor looking bike among the old things

Since I can't diet, I'll just do some biking on the weekend. I learned how to balance but I don't know if I can still do it. Wish me luck!

The Only Burger I'll Ever Eat

Coffee Day

This morning I drank Ohayo Coffee from the CSB vending machine (which I stared at every time we had a break from the exam haha! How come there's no vending machine in LS?!)

Then more coffee afterwards...

Big me and mini me zzzzzzo cute!

and日本語 の 試験 は おわりました！

Flowers and Peppers

Yeah, that's my breakfast 'cause we freakin' ran out of cereal. :((

Anyway, my mom took me out today so that I can be her yaya when she grocery shops. Thankfully she's determined to get at least something from the department store and that's why I got to buy new accessories and these lovely boat shoes. Thanks momma!

Then we went to Pepper Lunch. My first time to eat there so it was fascinating to have this huge ass hot plate brought to the table. It was fun mixing the food too.

And my boring outfit wouldn't be complete without this pretty flower. I thank you whoever bought me this that I've finally been able to wear it after so long. (Ever since kinder pa ata haha)

Also, I got inspired by this blogger's 30-day challenge that I think I'll do it myself. Hopefully it's okay. Although instead of having just 30 pieces of clothing (I don't think I have that much), Imma do it with just 30 pieces of anything: Clothes, shoes, accessories and bags. I might go crazy. More on that later.

All in all, it was a tiring day and now I have a headache. Excusez-moi.

Midnight Snack

Unappetizingly-looking but delicious bowl of oatmeal.

Oh dear oatmeal, give me strength for thesis!

Jipan

First time to eat there! I actually just ate miso soup and melon bread because I ate chilled taho. The place was nice and the bread selection was so pretty to look at. (didn't bring a camera so no pictures of that huhu) Instead.....!

Stew Pot, why u so yummy?

(kinda looks like something you would see in cafe world haha!)

Bonchon chicken had a really long line but it was okay because I discovered this nice place. Will definitely go back!

Bonchon Chicken

...is invading Metro Manila. They're opening stores everywhere! I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I will soon, I hope. Excited for the UM-Taft branch to open! Has anyone tried their food?

치킨 주세요!

Super (unhealthy) Diet Day

I only ate three unhealthy ham slices (one for each meal), a scrambled egg (cut into three) and three pieces of pandesal (one for each meal also). And for some reason, it feels okay and I don't feel hungry easily.

Maybe because my wallpaper is of a bagel with cream cheese? :P Haha!

Banchetto

Can't believe this place is right where I take my violin lessons. Kaya pala they always clean the street when I get there.

Let them eat cake!

I broke my record of not eating any cake (months and months, I think) today when my Mom offered what she called ensaymada (which was actually more cake-like and tasted like one too) with cheese. I didn't particularly enjoy the taste, it was just okay, so it was kind of a waste. 

Anyway, all to make her happy, right? Happy Mother's Day!

Google Photo

PS. The new Google makes me so sleepy. Everything's so light-colored. Urgh. 

Food

I told myself I would stop eating in the middle of the night but just can't resist focaccia.

(Yeah, I did heat it up like this. haha.)

With milk of course! Drinking straight from the liter pack since I'm such a gluttonous creature.

Great night!

On a happier note...

mah breakfast!

Focaccia + Strawberries + Milk ♥

Anyway, from now on I'll be tagging my posts. The first one I tagged was the post before this but I'll be tagging the rest soon (once I unlazy myself haha). I have to go set up my page so tags can be easily seen. Woot!

Can't wait to grow my hair so I can do this:

(Camilla Belle so gorgeous)

I've been wanting to get this look for years but before I get my hair long enough I always do something else with it. Haha! That's my goal for this year!

It's the first time I actually considered buying a fake copy for a designer bag. I love this!

ta!ta!
