Red Velvet Vixen at Cupcakes by Sonja

I looove sweets! Chocolate, ice cream, cakes -you name it! I was raised to be a sweet tooth! This quality of mine has gotten me to explore various food outlets. And when I say explore, I mean going there for the sake of... just eating. 


For this entry, I will share to you my passion for cupcakes. Cupcakes by Sonja has the best of this soft and tasty treat. Unfortunately for me, it is located in Serendra Piazza in Fort Bonifacio. It is way too far from where I'm at. Ah well, good food is worth the long wait and travel. (^_^)


It was just yesterday when I visited the store. Being a Saturday, the place was literally crowded by fellow cupcake patrons. But the array of yummy and colorful cupcakes on display will let you forget about the discomforts of the crowd. The store was based on the traditional cupcake store look: blue and pink striped wallpaper, chalkboard menu, and a cute cupboard display. 


The names of the cupcakes were as creative as their looks. There were Vanilla Sunshine, Lemon Drop, Chocolate Surprise, and a lot more. Their selection was so good that it was hard for me to choose. I was on queue for an order and most of the customers that came before me ordered this one cupcake that stood above all: the Red Velvet Vixen. 


That made my choice then. The cupcake, true to its name, was red. It was topped with a tasty cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with a dash of cocoa. I wondered what it tasted like. Being in red, I couldn't make it out. The cream cheese frosting had the feeling of mini sugar granules on every my every bite. Yum! 


The Red Velvet Vixen: Creativity on every bite! 
On the menu was written: Red Velvet Vixen: Traditional Southern Red Velvet cupcake made with Belgian cocoa and topped with luscious cream cheese icing. 


Ah so it was chocolate flavored after all! The Red Velvet Vixen completed my saccharine cravings for the day. On top of that, a portion of the price is donated to Red Cross. The cupcake is priced at PhP 75 (as of writing). What a great feeling! The sweet cupcake made me happy body and soul.


Cupcakes by Sonja has exceeded my expectations.  I will surely come back for more.

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended
