"Oh, Parisian life!"

A Fridate with my girl friends. It was too early to have dinner at Crazy Crab so we decided to have a light snack at La Vie Parisienne and I really felt giddy.  I love spring (though I haven't really experienced this season) because it symbolizes new beginning, everything just feels so bright and alive and I really love the sight of cherry blossoms. The aforementioned are the reasons why I always wanted to visit this place but I don't know why I always put it off.  I waited for the right timing and since it's already springtime in some countries, I think it's a good time to finally go to this lovely place. Better late than never.^^ I just heard La Vie Parisienne saying "Your timing is just perfect."

La Vie Parisienne is the first French Boulangerie and Greocery in Cebu. It is located at Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City (beside the Mormon church). It is open from Monday-Sunday: 7:00 A.M. - 12:00 A.M. French bakery. Deli. Wine Library. A great place to enjoy a taste of Parisian life, the al fresco way. This place is just so relaxing, so vibrant and so romantic. I guess the ambiance is what making people so curious and intrigued with this place. However, that's not all, their French treats won't also let you down and what's great is that they are serving these at an affordable price. Never miss this place when you are in Cebu.

My friends and I went there at around 4 P.M. That's a good time if you want to see the daytime and nighttime view.

"With every choice you make,  you create your life."

Life is all about making choices. Our choices may either make or break us. Whatever it is, always do your best to make the right ones and always do your best to learn from the wrong ones. A dear friend of ours, we believe, have made a good choice and to celebrate that wondrous moment, we decided to eat out (again). However, the real challenge here is how to feed six hungry birds on a limited budget. (buuu...am I too serious? HAHA) We, too, faced a lot of choices. From light snacks to unlimited food choices. After a thorough discussion, we ended up having an early dinner at Manggahan. (at last!)

Manggahan, which means mango plantation in English, is a restaurant located at Wilson St., Apas, Lahug. The inspiration of the name is the big mango tree that can be found at the back part of the restaurant. You can choose to dine inside the air-conditioned room or outside in a garden setting. My friends and I went there at around 4:00 PM. We originally opted for the garden setting but we were awfully attacked by mosquitoes so we decided to go inside the room. At that time, there were few customers so it was easy for us to transfer to another table but I bet it would not be easy for us to do so if it happened at night. This place is much more popular for chilling out in the evening. A lot of people really enjoy drinking, eating and listening to the live band. If you don't want your Manggahan experience to be noisy, then better go there at an early time.

The choice that we made may not be the best in town but it definitely made us go home with full stomachs. Mission accomplished! ^^

"Home of the Biggest Pizza in the World"

Oh pizza! I was just craving for pizza so it made me wanna share this experience to you guys. Mamma Maria Pizzeria claims to be the home of the biggest pizza in the world. However, gigantic pizzas are not really something surprising these days. There have been a lot of pizza parlors which are adding this to their menu. The bigger, the better. 

As part of a celebration, my friends and I decided to try Mamma Maria, the pizzeria offering big pizzas which is the closest to us. It is located on the ground floor of Skyrise 1, Asiatown I.T. Park. 

The Menu.

We ordered a Party Size and it was a 2-in-1 pizza. Pardon me for forgetting which toppings have we got. The party size pizza comes with 2 1.5L softdrinks. The price of this size ranges from PHP735 - PHP1650. It took a long time for us to get our order and we were getting bored so we tried to kill time by taking pictures. Please enjoy our moments. teehee.

"We Serve Happiness." =)

It's Friday once again and oh, how I love this day. It's Fly-day! Chatting with friends is probably one of the best ways to end a long stressful week (the trouble of girls, you know^^). On the spur of the moment, my friends and I decided to go to Cafe Namoo.

Cafe Namoo, a Korean-inspired cafe, is located at 2nd floor Northgate Centre beside UC Banilad, across Country Mall. It is actually a talk of the town because of its cozy ambiance, neat and bright setting, and cute stuff. To my mind, it's like a playroom for adults but kids can also enjoy their time here. Dining in at this cafe is like having a little world of your own so if you like privacy, then try visiting this appealing place. Since it is a popular cafe, the only downside is that they only require 3 hours of stay to give way to other customers. If you want to stay longer then just get an additional order.

The staff also take pictures of their guests and they really update and post them on their Facebook page: Cafe Namoo
