I'm a sickly person. I easily get the sniffles, and every so often I have a fever or my throat acts up. When I lived with my mom, she would usually make me drink Berocca as a Vitamin C supplement. And I never complained. It's like a combination of orange juice and soda water. It's so refreshing. When I was younger, I would stare while the Berocca tablet would dissolve in the water and it would create some bubbles. I remember all these because Berocca is giving away a nifty Blogger Relief Pack. I know it's a long shot but I really, really, really WANT ONE! I NEED ONE! HELLO THERE BEROCCA PEOPLE! I have 10+ blogs I write for and maintain. I NEED A BLOGGER RELIEF PACK PLEASE!!! And now I go to the nearest drugstore to buy me some Berocca. :P

I Had the Urge to Blog
But I don't know why or what about. So just let me rant. I came from a wedding. I wore this errr... nice (but apparently sexy) dress. I was the host of the reception and after I said "Good evening! I'm Ria, and I'm your host for this evening," random guy shouted "HI MISS RIA, ANG GANDA MO!" (HI MISS RIA, YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!) Ohhhkay... Now I'm at the shop (the internet shop). I'm so tired, sleepy, and kinda stressed out but I don't want to go home yet. I miss being online for the sake of. I miss just Plurking, browsing through Multiply, Plurking, chatting over IM, Plurking, blog hopping, Plurking... I think I Plurk too much, right? Which reminds me, Plurk has been the avenue through which I become kilig lately. Well, nothing interesting is happening in my life (in the romance department) but there are too many Plurkers in love, falling in love, loving, wanting to be loved, etc. And it gives me sooo much kilig to read their Plurks. Sarap kiligin. :P And yeah, I'm still single. Not searching (OWS?!) actively, but I would like to. The part where I'm not searching actively is mostly because…
There's a Bunny in My Coffee
It's so cute, no? It's the cappuccino here at the Kangaroo Coffee Company where I'm working online using their free WiFi connection. Pardon the imperfect right cheek of the bunny I stabbed it with a stirrer before I thought of taking a photo of it. The Kangaroo Coffee Company is located along Tiongco Street in Davao City. Photos taken using the N95.
Banana Leaf Asian Cafe Food Trip
4 appetizers 1 soup 9 viands 2 noodle dishes 2 rice dishes 4 desserts TOO MUCH? DEFINITELY! Singaporean Style Prawn Toast That's how much food were served to us when we visited the Banana Leaf Asian Cafe earlier this evening. Of course, we started off with appetizers. My favorite among which was the Singaporean Style Prawn Toast. Mainly because there were sesame seeds on top. White and black! YUMMY! It was a bit greasy but I didn't mind. I also likes the Roti Dog with Mango and Curry Sauce. The curry sauce was a bit mustard-y. Another hit was the Vietnamese Prawn Ball with CHEESE. Shrimp Wanton Soup with Curry Laksa Then we had the Shrimp Wanton Soup with Curry Laksa. It was a bit spicy, with a tinge of sourness which I absolutely loved. The soup was a bit creamy yet very thin and light. The shrimp wantons were also very tasty. Then, dish after dish after dish of viands, rice, and noodles were brought out and served. GRAWRRR! There was pork, beef, chicken, fish, squid, and vegetables. My favorites were the Wok Fried Squid with Basil, the Malayan Beef Curry, and the Macau Style Baked Mixed Vegetables. Sweet…
Dieting Notes
I am a food. I love food so much I can watch the Lifestyle Network Channel for hours. I can even watch a Food show episode over and over again and still find it interesting. I LOVE FOOD! But my quest for a better wardrobe and boy(S) is now forcing me to diet. Week one was quite a success, mostly because I kept my wallet in a poor state and I stayed away from my cousin who also loves food. Week 2, however, was one big monumental legendary epic fail. I pigged out! A LOT! :( I am now on week 3 and day one, yesterday was quite a success. Today is day 2, and I have been good in eating much less rice. I'm now down to a quarter cup of rice per meal. I only eat two full meals per day. And I don't snack as much anymore. I just came from the grocery and bought two snacking substitutes: Chocolate Milk instead of chocolate bars and candies, and corn flakes instead of chips. Good thing I also like those two things or I wouldn't survive. I have also lessened my coffee intake and is now drinking tea more.…
Dear Nescafe
Dear Nescafe, There's no doubt I like your coffee. In fact, I am in love with your Nescafe Classic First Pick, I bought bottles to last me a year so I could have it even during the months when First Pick isn't available on the grocery shelves anymore. But why is it your flavored coffees, even the supposedly healthy ones only come in three-in-one sachets? Fine, I could take a some sugar and cream in my coffee occasionally. But why is it those packs contain more sugar than actual coffee? They're too sweet. I'm pointing out these four that I tried: Nescafe Body Partner Lingzhi Nescafe Body Partner Fit Nescafe 3-in-1 Hazelnutz Nescafe 3-in-1 Choco Fudge I love my coffee bitter and dark. But I also want it healthy and flavored sometimes, but never too sweet. Here's my suggestion: lessen the sugar in your 3-in-1 packs. Those who want their coffee sweet can pour extra sugar if they want, right? But us who want dark can't take out the excess sugar. :( I hope that at least the Body Fit coffee sachets do away with the sugar, or less of it. Love lots, Ria :D
