Bonding with my Sis

Last May 8, 2009, my sister and I ate at Sbarro after attending the Sunday service from church. It's probably one of those times when we both did not disagree on anyting! LOL While our parents had coffee, we opted to have our stomachs full. We both ordered pizza and a pasta for sharing. I like eating at Sbarro because you get to see how they make your pizza. My sister shared about how Julia Roberts went to eat and eat and eat her heart out in EAT PRAY LOVE, and wishing we could try authentic Italian cuisine in ITALY mismo! :) For now, I think we're just too happy to feast on these:

My sister's pizza.. forgot the name though. lol

Chigaco White Pizza! My fave

baked ziti for us both

Our table was outside the restaurant (though inside the mall) so we're both able to see how the pizzas were being prepared...

A Pizzaro Date

Yesterday, I had a date with my boyfriend which was both a spontaneous decision and a planned one. I was hesitant to go at first because of the gloomy weather but we went anyway. We went to Pizzaro, as the name suggests, yes, it's a pizza place. It's also not easily seen. It's sandwiched between a carwash and a spa called Sensbien. It's very quaint and airy since there aren't really walls to block the air.

I've heard of Pizzaro before but never really tried it. My sister, who tried it with her bestfriends, recommended it to us and said that "you'll forget your name after trying their pizza!". So I told my boyfriend we needed to try it. We only ordered Pepperoni pizza and mashed potato since I already ate lunch a few hours before we went to the restaurant. I had red tea for my drink- tasted really good but I got a bit dizzy. Maybe it was the grenadine? I don't know. Hehe!  The food's really worth it-actually it's very cheap! Our bill was less than 500 pesos. I would really recommend trying their Mashed Potato- just the right consistency, a little creamy and not too overpowering when you mix it with butter and milk(?).

'till the next date! ;)

Mother's Day Out :)

Before anything else, I'd like to greet all the lovely mothers out there: Happy Mother's Day! :) I know it's not easy being a mom- my mom always says so. lol! 


Our mother's day plan started yesterday with me and my sister pondering on what to get our mom. I insisted we get her a greeting card since it's been a habit or a tradition for us kids to give our mom a card- whether we bought it or made it. Then we we're bothered about what gift to buy since we didn't really have a concrete plan. We just thought of hitting up the mall with our cousin and my boyfriend to see what gifts would catch our fancy. We ended up getting my mom a box of mini cupcakes that says "Happy Mom's Day!" from Cakes R- Us.  It was super cute!

One problem we had though was this: how do we get to surprise our mom the next day (today)? We were sure we'd get caught that we bought her cupcakes because she was still up when we went home around 9PM. Our plan was my boyfriend will bring the box to my room so no one would see it and we'd only put the box inside the fridge when mom's asleep. The funny thing was my mom kind-of decided to stay up later than the usual! We had to tell her to go to sleep since dad's already sleeping! lol 


When she went to their room to sleep, I sneaked the cupcakes to the fridge then told my sister we should wake up earlier before our mom does so our surprise won't be ruined. Another funny thing is that we woke up late! Hahaha! When we woke up, our mom was already having breakfast with our dad but we pushed through with our surprised. It was another funny moment because we just kept laughing and didn't say "happy mother's day" in unison. Nonetheless, our mom loved it and I'm so happy she did! :)

So sorry though, no pictures of how we celebrated the rest of the day. These are pictures taken a while ago. :)

I loved this yellow flower! :)

I promise, next year would be better for my mom! Happy mother's day, ma. I love you!
