Just something somethin'! ^_^

Here are some things that I've recently tried. 

1. 7-Eleven's Hotta Rice Chicken Meal

Are you a chicken person? If yes, well, head for 7-Eleven! They've got one of the most "sulit" chicken meals out there! With P65.00, you get a big piece of chicken (leg, thigh, wing or breast) with an unlimited serving of rice! For take-out orders, they automatically put two servings of rice! =) I'm recommending this meal not only for its great fill on your tummy, but also because it's really delicious! It can give Jollibee or KFC a run for their money! =) The downside, though, is its availability. Not all 7-Eleven stores offer 'em. =( I get mine along Pearl Drive in Ortigas. =) 




2. Gong Cha and Zen Tea

It's the season for cool drinks. I usually just go for fruit shakes or cold water but since teas are in, I went with the trend and tried Gong Cha. Well, I've also tried Zen tea in front of  UA&P but both tea stores disappointed me. Sure, they serve drinks that'd beat the summer heat but the tastes of the few drinks I've tried were just ordinary. To better describe 'em, they merely tasted like sugared water. These drinks are also  very pricey for their quality. I don't think it's a good buy.  Well, that's just me. =) Perhaps I need to go tea drinkin' more to be a better judge of naichas. Hahaha.





3. Office Coffee

Hahaha! This is the vendo coffee that I regularly have each morning. Nothing special about it, it's just that the new styro cup's really cute. It comes with a nice quote. It says....




"Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself"


P.S. The quote isn't grammatically correct but it struck a chord in my heart.

Dinner Time ! =)

I really, really want to keep to my diet (less rice, one heavy meal a day and more fruits and fluids) but when around friends, it becomes almost impossible to control how much I gulp and munch on. Hahaha! ^_^ 

Tonight is one of those days when I couldn't stop myself from  eating. =) Tsk,tsk, tsk... 


So, I'm posting what we had for dinner tonight. =) 


Classic Pinoy appetizer/ side dish favorite:
Unripe mangoes, tomatoes, red onions and salted eggs! 
Java rice, grilled pork (liempo), and salted egg with carrots, corn and Filipino turnip (singkamas) 



Gravy, mangoes and free garlicky soup!
Joey and Clarisse...  and Mau (not here in the snap) =)



How much did our sumptuous dinner cost? 

Hehehe... We spent less than $2 each! 

Beat that! ^___________^  

Cheap meal, fun times !
