Navi Planner's Treat: Big Ben's at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

It's almost end of the year and I have not used some of the treats on my Navi Planner by BDJ. So there I was, called my friend and told her I would treat her at CBTL. He's quite surprised though and even if he loves Starbucks more than CBTL, who can resist the word - libre? Hahaha.

Yeah, so we met at Greenbelt and we had a nice time eating Big Ben's with a nice cup of tea all for not more than 250php!!! Buy one take one breakfast plus with two free hot teas! I really love the Navi planner treats!!!



Here's what we enjoyed the most while having our chit-chat sessions:

Slammer Burgers: Slammin At It's Best!

It was a day after the Typhoon Pedring hit the Philippines that I went out of the house. I was expecting my salary and I really want to buy my grocery supplies for the whole month. I went out with my friend and I was not disappointed because by 5PM, my ATM already shows 5 digits there.

The first thing we thought of doing is to eat. Of course! For this month, I have been craving for crispy and delicious fries but I always end up eating a full meal - the usual Filipino dish. So, I suggested Slammers Burgers to my friend. Good thing, she had not tried it before as well. I heard a lot of good things about it so we ran to the store to eat.

We had their two piece Bacon mushroom melt with fries and drinks. Since I really don't know how big their serving is, we tried it first and by the first bite of our burger -- it was heavenly. I remember I used to crave for Bacon Mushroom Melt at Wendy's but since their bread becomes a little different (meaning: low quality), I stopped buying that at Wendy's. But now, it seems I'll be craving more for this burger because of Slammer's.

Since we had a good finish at first attempt, we tried the Fish and Chips this time and it was still the best. We left Slammer Burger's with our belly's feeling very full and satisfied.

Home Based Job: An Update

I have been a home based employee for quite sometime and I can say that I really find it very convenient especially when there is a storm and the fare price continues to increase - there is no need for you to walk on flooded streets and beat the stormy weather. No one will tell you to "you have to come to work - it is considered a critical working day!" I have been in the call center industry for so many years and I am quite well "tired" of those words: critical working day! No one's gonna force you to come to the office even if they knew you have to cross six flooded areas before you reach the office LOL.

As for me, I am still with Remote Staff and I am having a blast! At first, my fear was that the salary won't be on time as what I have experienced with other online jobs. But this never happened with me at Remote Staff. They also have a staff who will take care of your initial employment so there's no need for you to look for a client just like what you are doing at other freelance sites.

I have been at this one popular freelance site for over a year but I never really had a client there that lasted for two months. Here at Remote Staff, they aim for long period of employment per employee. So, if you want a (long lasting!) home based job, Remote Staff is for you!

A Taste of Antipolo

Are you tired of having your dinner in one of the restaurants around Metro Manila? Tired of having to put up with the dust and traffic of the city?

If you do, I would suggest you go to Bali Gulp. This is where my friends, including me of course, went one time to have our lunch. Well, it was more of a food trip. Literally. The place is great since in any of the Nipa Huts that you choose, you'll get the 'overlooking spot' where Antipolo is really famous at. You'll even find a videoke machine seated nicely inside the hut where you and your friends can use.

It has three floors but of course, we got the one that has the highest spot of all so the city view will be much of a good sight!

The foods are also great. They are in big servings where families and friends can share with at a very affordable price. The cuisine is mostly Filipino foods and the drinks (from beers to non-alcohol drinks) is just a right fit for a cheap budget, too.

Nice comfort rooms, too! LOL. Well, not the ones you can see in a 5-star hotel but it is clean and the window will also give you that overlooking scenery of the city below :) That's what makes it nice. No cover -- just fresh air! :)

By the way, it is just along Sumulong Highway near Padi's Point in Antipolo.

The Central Bar and BBQ Grill

The barkadas were thinking of where to go because of the long weekend mania. We just thought of "anything goes" since none of us has to go to the office the next day. It was Saturday so we can drink and be merry as long as we want.

We found ourselves at The Central Bar and BBQ Grill in Ayala Hway, Batangas. The place was very spacious. Huge parking lot and even the dining place is very accommodating to all barkadas and families that will go there. Foods and drinks are very affordable. We've been there for two hours and it only costs us 1800+. By the way, there's 10 of us. You'll just be the one to say no and utter I'm full already after everything's done!

Scribblings

This is what happens while I am not doing anything and just waiting to get started on my new job by tomorrow. I have been in the house for the whole week while I am talking endlessly with my bf and doing some home based jobs.

I already got an idea that to fill all the pages of my planner, the only thing I have to do is this. It's a mini-planner/portfolio as well. LOL

It says learn to love, unlove and relove. People should not stop loving when they get hurt. Instead, they should learn to move on by unloving the person and then learn to love again or relove. There's a lot of people in this world. The right one is just waiting for you to meet one day. :)

I Wanna Get Married in Maldives

James McAvoy as Professor X!

The first time I saw James McAvoy in the movie "Wanted", I have already wondered what would be his next movie. He is so good in that movie and he deserves another good one. And indeed, here comes X-Men: First Class.

He is none other than Professor X!

James did a good job for his role and he's just sooooooooooo superb. He is so fit for the role! :)

I'm going to wait for your next movie, James, for sure! :)

Food Hunting at Munch Punch

Wondering where you want to dine with your friends tonight?

If you are tired of the usual restaurants that you and your friends frequently go to, then plan ahead. At Munch Punch you can simply check out which restaurant you want to eat!

What's good about this website is that it is dedicated to Filipino's hungry bellies. At the main page, you will see that the restaurants are categorized based on which place they are located. So, if your friends decided they want to have dinner with you somewhere in Quezon City or Pasig, you can just click Quezon City or Pasig to see which restaurants are located in that place!

Another good thing about the website is that once you click on a certain restaurant, it will give you the menu and the price of every meal. Good deal, right? You don't have to tire yourself of hopping from one restaurant's menu to another to check which of them you really like. Saves you a lot of time, too.

Most of all, you can order. No need to browse for the directory to check the number of the restaurant. Some of the restaurants here have the "Order now" or Order Online" option to make it easy for you.

Isn't that wonderful enough for you?
