The Things I Do for Love

Who here loves chocolate? Yay! I'm so excited to write about my favorite food: chocolate! In my recent visit to my favorite bakeshop Tous Les Jours , a really cute heart shaped cookie caught my eye! I didn't have second thoughts on getting it! If it's from Tous Les Jours , then I will love it! Chocolate Heart Cookie from Tous Les Jours It is as big as my palm and it is kinda heavy, too.

A chocolate filling is sandwiched between chocolate cookies and everything is coated with chocolate! Oh! Am I overusing the word 'chocolate' now? LOL! The cookies are soft, with a mild kick to it due to the dark chocolate. The creamy milk chocolatey flavor comes from the filling and coating.  The interior of the cookie. :)  Being a sweet tooth, I felt that the level of sweetness is just right. Eating this made me glad!

I took a break from my usual milk tea because it's summer! The season makes me crave for fruity drinks and food! Whenever I go to Bon Appetea, I always order Nirvana .

One anime event that I love is Oh No Manga. I was present for the first one last year and I gotta commend the organizers for putting up a really good event! Everything was in order and I appreciate how the numbers of the cosplayers were printed and laminated. It felt so good wearing that number on stage. :)  This year's event went a notch higher. The theme was Oh No Manga Cosplay Camp 2: The Coin and Flour Saga and was held on July 7, 2013 at SMX Convention Center Hall 1. There was better venue, stage, and more freebies for participants to enjoy! Yay!  Gorgeous stage!  Just like last year's Oh No Manga Cosplay Camp, a huge Gundam was also on display. But now, Tokyo Tower was included!  The Gundam Display and the awesome Tokyo Tower display. What I love about this event are the free professional photo booths!
