Good Food With Girl Friends: Nolita

Nothing can beat a night full of laughter and words of wisdom from these lovely ladies. 

We decided to try eating at this newly opened restaurant at the extended side of Bonifacio High Street at Taguig City. My hungry tummy was not disappointed at all. 


Nolita serves New York City-inspired pizza and it is beyond what we call "perfect" for a night like this. Food is absolutely scrumptious and mouth-watering! At first, I couldn't choose what pizza to get. They have a variety of pizza and everything just look so delicious. Here in Nolita, they also serve burgers, pasta, and beers. It might be a bit pricey for some, but eating here is worth every penny. Each pizza costs around 170php-250php.

    

If your sweet tooth is looking for that gratifying dessert, Nolita offers big slices of cakes and pastries that surely you would not want to miss. To top it all off, imported beers are also available to give your meal an extra oomph. The girls and I are very happy. This is exactly what I mean by having a good food with girl friends.

Nolita is located at 7th Avenue corner 31st Street, Bonifacio High Street Central, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. It is open from 11am till 2pm (Mondays-Saturdays) and 11am till 11pm (Sundays).

No Other Woman

1st movie date with TeamFab

and obviously, we chose a chick flick for our girls day/night out. HAHA!

I kind of regret watching it though.

Don't get me wrong. It is not because of the movie.

I just did not like what I personally felt after watching it.

Truth has to be told. It is a must-see movie.

Everyone can relate because as the cliche goes,

"Love makes the world go round."

When love hits you, 

you know nothing about BOUNDARIES and LIMITS.

Who would not fall for a girl like Kara Zalderiaga (Anne Curtis)- 

gorgeous, successful, and alluring?

And with Ram Escaler's (Derek Ramsay) charisma, handsome face,
 and jaw-dropping body,

any girl will try to be in his wife's, Charmaine (Cristine Reyes), place.
This is a typical love triangle story executed breathtakingly
by 3 of the most beautiful actors in the country.

What would you do if the only person
you love is not destined to be with you?
Kara fought for that love and yet,
she wind up losing the battle.
Just like any other love story,
ONLY one has to suffer the most.

I wasn't able to control my tears while watching this movie.
Every dialogue hit me like a bull's eye.
Even though, the story is not exactly the same as "my story,"
I just felt terrible seeing how things appeared
so drastically heartbreaking
and seeing all the could-have-beens, it was awful.
The movie is a mixture of romance, heartache, and satire.
 Thanks to Carmi Martin for her
outstanding humour in the film! Haha
It somehow turned the intense scenes into comedic ones.
And can I just say that Anne Curtis was incredibly gorgeous
and sophisticated in this film?
I love her swimsuit, cover ups, and dresses!
Over-all, I give this movie an A.
Good actors.
Outstanding script.
And of course,
a perfect story where
everyone can relate their love story to.

Best lines from the film:

"No pressure! And kiss me and don't you dare fall in love with me."

"Kahit alam mong bawal, lalabanan mo 'coz eventually

your body will get used to it."

"Ang mundo ay isang malaking Quiapo.

Maraming snatcher. Maagawan ka. Lumaban ka!"

"Everyday I'm trying to convince myself na mamahalin 

din niya ako pero sayo parin siya umuuwi."

Still On A Hueniverse High

Contemporary dance: A dance genre that 

unconsciously squeezes out people's emotions
through battements, extensions, arm movements, and the like.

(Not that I am saying other genres don't. Haha!)

I should know for 

I have experienced them first hand MANY times.

HUENIVERSE: Dance all-encompassing in technicolor,

the 31st anniversary dance concert of

the La Salle Dance Company- Contemporary.

It was held at the Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium

in De La Salle University- Manila.

This concert helped me cope all the things life has thrown at me.

All the struggles during rehearsals...

All the after-training realizations...

All the warm hugs and pieces of advice...

All the emotions released..

And most importantly,

all the lessons I have shared with the LSDC-C family..

Thank you so much, Sir Peter,

 for giving me an opportunity once again

to share my skills and to be part of this grand

anniversary concert.

Thank you, Sir Danny of Powerdance, 

for pushing me forward when

mediocrity was killing my spirit and passion for dancing.

Thank you, current members and alumni members,

for helping me out and 

sharing the great possibilities the world could offer-

dance and family.

TEAMFAB,

I love each and every one of you.

Thank you for pulling me up 

when I was all over the floor weeping.

You understood every bit of my emotion 

even without a word coming out of my mouth.

It was so good to share the stage with some of you once again.

Let us all be fabulous together forever, yes? :)

Many thanks also to my Skittlez babies and biological family

for watching and supporting the concert. :)

And yes, 

I have found what I was looking for during the process.

This time I know it is for real.

No more hiding behind the shadows.

No more dark nights.

No more looking back.

The universe is so wonderful and beautiful 

for me to miss out those great things

and opportunities.

I choose to see colors and

 let the black & white/ gray area be gone.

I am without a doubt ready to fly away

and be free.

Again and Again

Oh June, why are you being like this to me?

Issue-tissue again. T_T

Can everything just be normal and happy AGAIN?

Please naman.

This week has totally put me

into different doors of emotions.

It was very tricky and confusing.

It rushes me to heaven and hell in a matter of seconds.

It REALLY does.

* Start of SY 11-12 at Creative Play Corner

June 21

Last Tuesday, work starts again.

We were actually earlier than the actual opening of the school

because

1. New teachers need to get ready and

be prepared with the materials and schedule.

2. We need to clean and decorate our classroom.

MY classroom. :3

3. We need to make new instructional materials.

I am so excited even if I'll be handling the Prep Bears instead

of the Panda Bears.

This is it! :)

* Good times with TeamFab

June 24

It just makes my heart VERY glad to see and

spend time with these people.

Happy Graduation to our very own, Monica!

We had dinner at TGIFridays, BGC The Fort to celebrate

Monica's graduation the next day.

Stormy night with the girls + bf & hubby:

* KrumPinoy 4th Anniversary

June 24

Nothing can stop us- not even the typhoon Falcon.

Celebrated the anniversary at Patio Jose, Quezon City.

A lot weren't able to come. though. :(

My gosh, it's been a long time.

I can still remember the time I was not a krumper yet

and I am so inspired by this fam.

And now, I am a part of them already.

Thank you so much, Big Pat and kapatids! :)

Happy Anniversary to us!

* House of Insults

I'm surprised they stopped from bombarding me

with harsh and heart-slashing words.

Are they running out of words to say or

they realized that it is not working anymore?

I have no more tears to shed nor a heart to

feel the pain.

* U

I found my inner-peace when you answered all

the questions that has been bugging

me for a VERY long time.

Things may have been mind-boggling for so many months,

but at least now I know what your thoughts are.

I do not know how to react

towards everything, though.

I just feel more scared and confused now

because I do not know what your real intentions are.

With all those kisses and hugs,

are you telling me you want me back?

Do you need me because you still love me?

Or you're saying you need me because

I fill in spaces in your heart?

I'm guessing that being there for you always makes

you confident enough to come back

whenever you want to and

just set me aside when you don't need me anymore.

But, there's something inside me that tells me

our love for each other never died to begin with

that's why we're still like this to each other.

Which is which?

I just realized that things happen

when you least expect them.

I was so busy this week because of work

and yet, simple pleasure and heartache

could affect me like this.

I promise, starting today,

I will be more focused and determined.

I have goals to achieve

and things to work on.

I can do this. :)

Evan's 21st at Sofitel
