Ramblings of a Perpetually Tanned Filipina

We visited my favorite Aunt (I call her Ate 'coz she's like 2 or 3 years older than me. She's my Dad's cousin, not my Dad's sister) and her wonderful husband at the Disney World Wilderness Lodge. They are from New York and they are here in Florida for their honeymoon. Too bad I forgot to bring our camera, that's why I wasn't able to take pictures with her and the hotel too. It's like being in a very huge log cabin and the place is a good spot to relax. We had to drive almost 45 minutes to get there though, so we can always opt to relax at home. When we left, my Aunt gave me this piece of chocolate 'coz she knows I love chocolates. haha! I even told her, give me a cheap piece of chocolate, I will still eat it as long as it's chocolate! I think I had too much of this though 'coz my throat hurts a little right now. I ran out of mineral water, so I was drinking like a bird. I did brush my teeth after going to bed, but I think the chocolate ...

I tried this out 2 weeks ago and I'm not a big fan 'coz it's too sweet for me. I have a sweet tooth, but this one was sweeter than what I can take. It took me 3 or I think 4 days just to finish the whole pint 'coz I feel like ants will be attacking me when I sweat. I don't remember tasting the marshmallows... or maybe I was just too bothered by its sweetness that I forgot it had marshmallows. Beware of that yellow thing right there. It's like eating a spoonful of sugar. You have disappointed me, S'mores. 

On a rainy Monday afternoon in Orlando, my hubs and I  decided to spend time checking out the Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall, since it's Labor day and I've heard that they put up good deals during holidays like this. We checked out the Old Navy outlet near the Mall at Millenia and I'm happy to find a pair of jeans on clearance and it says $8.99 on the tag! I immediately tried it on and voila! It fits me( a little tight on the waist, but I can still zip the whole thing. :p) and there's no need to fix the hem. It's from Diva and the original price was $19.99. Original price was $19.99 and I got this for $8.99 Then we went to the Florida Mall and since we park near JCPenny, we checked the the deals they had today. There's this one pair of jeans that I'v fallen in love with lately. It's called jeggings - they are leggings which are styled to look like tight denims. I like it because it looks like one of those skinny jeans, but it's not purely d...

We went to Lake Eola today and here are some of the pictures from our afternoon relaxation.  Have a happy weekend everyone!  Lake Eola, Downtown Orlando Lake Eola Fountain lovely black swan Downtown Orlando The bust of Dr. Jose Rizal at Eola Park The City of Orlando was named after this guy Their tacos were GREAT! I highly recommend their $2 fish tacos. Inside Mucho Tequila 101 S. Eola Drive, Orlando

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD. Read at your own risk. If there is one thing I have learned today, it's that attracting positive thoughts brings you positive results. I took the bus for the 3rd time today, 'coz my hubs had to work and I didn't want him to take a day off just to drive me to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). I had to go there to get my non-driver ID for the nth time 'coz I received a letter in the mail saying that I had a discrepancy on my birthdate. To me it was impossible 'coz all of my documents indicate the same birthdate. Since it was indicated in the letter that I had to go to their office and present documents, I took all the courage to take the bus - with a new route today. I went to the Social Security office two times, so I was familiar with that route. I woke up at 9am to get ready 'coz I knew that the bus will be passing by our street at 10-ish. I had to put sunblock on my face, but totally forgot to apply sunblock on my legs and...

If you like to add a little "crunch" to your coffee, then this is the ice cream for you. I wasn't that of a big fan 'coz it's just like eating iced mocha. This is the only Ben and Jerry's ice cream that survived inside our fridge for more than 3 days. The rest, 2 days max. :)

We went to the Outback Steakhouse a month or two ago and they served us this dark bread with a side of butter and I fell in love with it! It's my first time to taste and see such bread, so I asked my friend who is the author of Not Just a Food Blog     what it was (but I couldn't remember the name. lol) and suggested an alternative which I can buy at the grocery store - Pumpernickel .  So I checked it out at our local grocery store and I did find one. I got it for $2.99, a little pricey compared to your regular white bread because they only sell half a loaf. I got it anyway to give it a try.  It says Real Jewish Pumpernickel and the origin of the pumperickel is in Germany? Ironic. Just sayin'. It tasted a "little" similar to what I had at the Outback resto, but not really that much 'coz I tasted the bread-ish flavor more. I don't know how to describe the black bread at the Outback resto 'coz it was sweet and it felt like it would melt in your mout...
