TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE BOOK REVIEW

I know the name Mitch Albom sounds very familiar when my officemate lend me her book Tuesdays With Morrie last week. My friends in college talked about him and his books when we where in college, but I haven't paid much attention him then. Until now.

Tuesday With Morrie is a book about a dying man, sharing life's lessons to a very much alive student. 

“Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” ― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

She Will Always Be My Baby

Having a child is both a blessing and an adventure. From the moment she opens her eyes to her precious firsts up to when she grows big and strong. Every milestone, every experience, is a memory we would want to keep forever.

It began with an ultrasound. It’s the first tangible memory you can keep and treasure for as long as you can. And then, on THE day, your husband brought the camera. You weren’t at your best but nobody cared. And that was your first family portrait.

From there, everything was just automatic. You’d put your camera or smartphones on standby while you wait for those magical firsts, and not letting sickness get in the way of enjoying these ‘firsts’. The first time she held your fingers. The first time she whispered “mama” and “dada”. The first time she stood up and walk towards you. Then there are birthdays, summer vacations, holidays. Priceless, magical firsts. You make sure that she gets proper physical growth and development because she is healthy and sick-free. And this is a non-negotiable.

Every photo, video, and experience is a captured memory that not only highlights and immortalizes your child’s milestones, they also stand as proof on how well you take good care of her, protecting her from any harm or sickness resulting in normalized growth for her age.

INFINITEA ANONAS

I just can't get enough of milktea! 

A week after going to and fro Quezon City, I've discovered INFINITEA. Yes, I've been passing by that store for a whole week without even noticing it. How weird is that?! And ever since, I've been having my daily dose of milktea.

Sunday: Okinawa Milktea
Monday: Strawberry Bliss Milktea
Tuesday: Dark Chocolate Milktea
Wednesday: Green Apple Tea with Yogurt
Thursday: (When all else fail) Wintermelon Milktea
Friday: Peach Lychee Milktea

..and I was suppose to have my Chocolate Milktea today Saturday), but the unthinkable happened! I don't want to go into details but, my Milktea was consumed by the streets of Angono. tsk, tsk, tsk...

The Milktea selections already have add-ons in it (nata de coco, pearl, pudding etc...) 70php to 90 php. Fruit teas dont have bits (add-ons) in it,it's cheaper that the Milktea selections, price range from 60php to 70php, you could upgrade your Fruit Tea and add yogurt (plus 10php) or yogurt slush (15php). I haven't tried the yogurt slush yet but the Apple Green Tea with yogurt is absolutely DELISH! I also haven't tried the Frappes yet, but I target to have them next week (yeah...), price ranges from 85php to 95php. They also serve hot teas.

CHATIME

Last Sunday, we watched the Perks of Being a Wallflower instead of going to our hang out place, Moonleaf Antipolo, but being the milktea lover that we are, we spent the afternoon after the Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller (Swooning while writing) and Emma Watson movie drinking milktea and in my case Chocolate Mousse.

This time we went to Chatime, I know many already knew this place, but still, it's new to me and that was the first time I ever set foot on that place. Chatime not only serve milkteas, but they also have Mousse, Fruit Tea, Juice, Oriental Pop Tea and even some cakes (which by the way is very cheap, cheap like 20php cheap) and sandwiches.

Chit had the Taro Milktea. It taste like ginataang bilo-bilo, Chit even said it tasted like Camote, it also had the consistency of the ginataang bilo-bilo. It was a first because, we were accustomed to having tea's consistency close to as of water. 

Their price ranges from 90 to 110php.  They have a variety of teas which can be served hot or cold.

Chatime can be found on SM Megamall, Bldg. A, groudfloor near the Supermarket. A few walks away from the National Bookstore. A perfect place to read and drink milktea. Yay! 

Cakes and Sandwiches

They have this disc shaped device which acts as your number for you to pick-up your order on the counter, the device vibrates when your order is ready to be picked-up

MOCHICREME

Japanese food had always been a big mystery for me. And just last Sunday, my good friend Chit, introduced me to this japanese ice cream store, Mochicreme. 

Let me enlighten you on what "mochi" means.

Mochi (餅) is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice (not to be confused with gluten) pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. (Thanks wikipedia!) 

Mochi Ice Cream is a ball of ice cream covered with mochi. That's it. 

You need to wait for a few seconds because the mochi is hard as stone and you need for it to be soft for you to eat it.

Mochicreme is located in SM Megamall, in front of the SM Cinema Cinema 7 to 12.

Their best seller is the Azuki Red Bean which costs 65php. I had the Blue Vanilla, and well, it's a little bland for my taste, but the mochi part is just so good to my tongue, it's like a hard version of jellyace. Price ranges from 60php to 65php.
