Another day in my life. Got my Lightstick Key Rings. Looked for and tried Banana Pudding and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDIG0wxRfuo Key Rings I went back to Dia de Davao with the intention to pick up the custom key rings I ordered from Beadedz. But I ended up with 4 key rings. Custom Lightstick Key Rings by Beadedz Key Ring with Charms by Joolz Custom Lightstick Key Ring by Lisieux The day prior, I left two lightstick acrylic charms with Beadedz. I had connected with them on Instagram somet time ago. They accepted my request to have a key ring made with my lightstick acrylics. Quite happy with how they turned out. I was undecided if I was getting anything from Joolz but I saw the pink latte cup charm and wanted to create a key ring with it. I chose two food related charms and had my Joolz key ring made. As I was on my way out, I saw Lisieux and I asked them if they could make another lightstick key ring. I wanted a SHINee one made but they did not have the aqua letter beads I wanted so I had them make an NCT Neobong Lightstick Key Ring…

Meetings and Dia de Davao [March 7 2025 Davao Video Diary]
Long day. Short vlog. We had several meetings throughout the day. And we dropped by Dia de Davao by Clasico. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUHeB1azokU First, we had meetings at &Matcha. I had a latte. Every meeting was interesting but it was also quite exhausting afterwards. Dia de Davao Next, we dropped by Dia de Davao at Casa Vieja in Juna Subdivision. The flea market event is by Clasico Events. There was way too many vendors and shoppers than I am used to. It was quite interesting. I left my acrylic lighstick charms at one booth and we left. Eat's Sweet We had dinner at my cousins' house. After dinner, we had Lemon Cake from Eat's Sweet. This is part of my research for an article I writing about the Best Cakes in Davao. More info: Davao Dining Directory Confex We had one last meeting at Confex. I ordered their Tableya Mocha and a Peanut Butter Revel Bar. Which I regret because both were too rich to be consumed together. The Tableya Mocha is rich, chocolate-y, and gave me the right boost of caffeine for one last meeting. And the Peanut Butter Revel Bar was rich, thick, and fudgy. Each one was good, rich,…
Work at Three Yards and Recuerdo Again [March 5 2025 Davao Video Diary]
Another month is here. Started the month with work at Three Yards. And dinner at Recuerdo again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tpQWCqUe10 Work at Three Yards First, a quick video guide on how to get to Three Yards if you are somewhere in Tulip Drive (Carlos Villa-Abrille Drive). Three Yards is located in Casiana Villa-Abrille Street, Juna Subdivision, Matina. It is at the back of EcoMed and on the same street as LTO. Fun fact: Carlos and Casiana were a married couple. Anyway, the Main Hall of Three Yards is located just a few steps from EcoMed Parking Area. It is covered by the bamboo and mango trees in the area but it is there. And just a few steps away is &Matcha. Back in March, both were not yet open to the public. Also back then, I was not really into matcha yet so I got coffee. I had Espresso Oatmilk Latte+. To know more about Three Yards, visit the Three Yards Website. Recuerdo Again We had dinner at Recuerdo again. It was either Fabian's or Recuerdo. And this time, we chose Recuerdo again. We order Kalderetang Baka and Lechon Kawali. And they gave us Kare-Kare and Leche Flan to try. Everything was…
Ex Ex Lovers and Cafe Hopping Again [February 13 2025 Davao Video Diary]
Started the day with a solo movie date: Ex Ex Lovers. Then, dropped by a pop up market in the mall and then 2 cafes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7RBpO010Lc Ex Ex Lovers I have not watched a movie in the cinema in a while. Not since I watched a few MMFF 2024 films. But I really wanted to watch Ex Ex Lovers in the cinema because I want romcoms to come back to cinemas. I cried during the movie and I loved it. It was not perfect but nostalgia hit me perfectly. And the story was something I kinda related to. Even if I do not have a child nor an ex husband. Since I was already in the mall, I dropped by Annipie for a snack. Then, the Valentine's Pop Up Market at the Activity Center. I was hoping to have a Joolz charm bracelet made but they were super busy. So I settled from some pastries from AB Bakery and MG Desserts. I give the AB Bakery Bombolinis a 10/10. Very good for a doughnut. More: Movies Club's Bakery II (North) Next, we dropped by Club's Bakery. I had a Mini Strawberry Croissant and an Einspanner. I love both. The Mini…
Pop Up and Cafe Hopping Again [February 8 2025 Davao Video Diary]
We went cafe hopping again. But first, we dropped by a pop up market, Louis Mireille and Friends at Fika Cafe. https://youtu.be/oQs9GXMZIk8 Pop Up Market Pre-pandemic I had avoided going to big bazaars. It was just way too chaotic and overwhelming for me. And it was usually just more of the same stuff. But I found it interesting that there are a lot of pop up and flea markets around the city and they seem to be thriving. What really piqued my interest is the number of local businesses, mostly women-driven that have thrived in recent years. Paramount Coffee Finally, I got to try Paramount Coffee. I wanted to try their Drip Coffee but it was not available. Instead, I got their Creamy Truffle Pasta and the Spanish Latte. I loooved the Creamy Truffle Pasta and I listed it on our February 2025 Favorites. More info: Davao Cafes Three Yards and Errands Next, we visited Three Yards for work. To know more about Three Yards, visit the Three Yards Website. And we did a Moltress Dynamax Raid on Pokemon Go. Then, we dropped by the mall for some errands at Watsons. And I bought some stuff from Uniqlo. LUXE ORGANIX…
