The Ultimate Comeback

I am sooo back in Manila. Check series of events from the moment I left Japan...


June 13 - Flight back to Manila from Narita Airport

I never go back to the PI without buying Royce chocolates

Then some of my friends came over at my place that night. We had a bottle of Jack and had a fun bonding like we always do.

June 14 - I went to Azta Eastwood for a hair color change. Thanks to Jarmon my stylist for giving me a nice hair color (shade of Copper) and a healthier hair (via Power Dose treatment). Then I had a couple of drinks with my girl friends at Distillery.

June 15 - It's our first day in class. Right after class, my classmates and I had dinner in Wicked Kitchen. Then I got kidnapped by a friend. We swung by Distillery Fort and met up with some friends in Republiq.

June 16 - It's my second day of class and I have barely slept. My classmates and I had lunch at Ken Afford and I bumped into my high school friend at the first resto we entered. After class, I headed home to have an early Father's Day celebration. I finally got to see again my little brother. Later that night, Farah picked me up and we proceeded to Archipelago 7107 at Il Terrazzo for Spotlight Saturdays with DQ Acoustic. I enjoyed the company of friends whom I haven't seen for months.

June 18 - I had lunch with my brother and grandmother in Max's, SM Marikina then I headed to Greenhills to have my Blackberry fixed. After there, I visited my friends in PLDT and my BFF and I had snacks at Coffee Bean, Greenbelt. We also had dinner with our sorority sisters in Kanin Club, Ayala Triangle; then we proceeded to Dillinger's Greenbelt for some drinks with our friend who's about go leave for Davao the next day.

Since I've been out since the day I arrived, I took a break and stayed home last Tuesday (June 19). Instead of going out, I just cooked Baked Macaroni for the family.:)

After a day of rest, here came another spontaneous night. I watched a movie with Farah then we decided to go to Opus and Republiq since they got a better crowd on Wednesday nights. And since we got hungry, we had breakfast at Sinangag Express in Makati.

 Patron XO shots!!!

a hearty meal :)

And that's how my first week back in Manila happened to be. All of those photos just proved that i truly missed Manila and my friends here. There's really no place like home! I felt so good to be back!:)

ROYCE Chocos from Japan! yey! =D

I have been craving for Royce chocolates for the longest time but I never attempted to buy for myself 'coz I'm still hopeful that someone who find me special would give me even just a single bar or box haha!=))

Unfortunately, I got nothing from my suitors and friends. But luckily, two nights ago, my aunt and uncle from Japan arrived. I was surprised when they handed me a paper bag of Royce chocolates!!!

When I opened the bag, it had two boxes inside. One was the Royce' Potechi Crunch Chocolate, which I haven't tasted yet, and the Royce Pure Chocolate (Sweet & Milk), which was one of my faves from Royce.

Tita bought this from Narita Airport in Japan. Total amount she paid was 1320 Yen or about Php 646. It's really cheap, 'coz at Royce here in the Philippines, each box of Royce costs about Php 500. See the price difference?

Yey I'm so happy. haha! In fact, I haven't opened the boxes yet 'coz I was always away from home. hehe. But I'll be eating my Royce chocos this weekend.=)

cravin' for Royce

So I've been craving for Royce chocolates for a couple of days already. Unfortunately, I can't drag myself to Greenbelt 5 for some reasons, just to buy Royce. I just wish they have a dial 8-R-O-Y-C-E delivery like Mcdo. haha! Well, another option is to have a boyfriend or a "boylet" who would buy for me and deliver it to my house all for free! haha! But unfortunately, I'm currently not interested with guys. Well, let's just say, I just need a break.

Anyway, I remember the first time I've tried Royce Chocolates. It's actually just in February of this year, when my previous boss stocked one box in our office's fridge. Usually we're having it after we eat. But sometimes when I get too stressed while working, I grab some to relax me. hehe! My boss even asked me to keep the box wrapper 'cause it has my name, "Royce", plus its pink! haha!I really liked this specific variation because it's sweetness is just right. So when my family went to Japan last summer, I asked them to bring me this and the chocolate-coated potato chips but they weren't able to bring one because they weren't able to find the specific store that sells Royce there and that they were able to find some only at the airport; but what they found was just the variation which has liquor.

To summarize everything, I didn't have a choice but to grab the available chocolates at home. So I landed on having the Pastel Colored Easter Mix Plain M&M's from the States, just to satisfy my chocolate cravings. haha!Good enough.=)
