This quaint and playful cafe is located at the 3rd floor in CTTM Bldg in Tomas Morato Ave., in Quezon City. With delicious menu that will satisfy one's craving, Cafe I'm Here is a Korean-Japanese inspired cafe which you should definitely try!

The place is very instagrammable alright. I mean, I literally brought my whole family here so I could take my outfit photos!

Here's the interior of the cafe:

Introducing a food hub that literally has it all in the South! Whether you're from the South or the other side of Manila, or from anywhere, 4U2C Sidewalk Fud Hub is definitely worth the experience.

Situated in Bacoor, Cavite, this 2,800 sqm two-storey food hub will not just make your hungry tummy satisfied but will strengthen the bond between you and your loved ones as it also has different amenities waiting for you to try out!

4U2C Sidewalk Fud Hub all started from the owner's love for cooking and now, she manages the biggest food hub in Cavite! The soft opening took place last Oct. 28, 2018 and being just around 5 months in operation, this food hub is growing and innovating day by day. I'm so excited to see how it will be in the years to come as the owner has more plans lined up.

Hang-out with your friends and family in this jungle-like atmosphere and make new animal friends! 

Zoo Coffee at Ayala Malls Vertis North is an animal-themed Korean coffee chain that will transport you to a jungle-like atmosphere where you can make friends with the cutest {stuffed} animals around while satisfying your stomach!

Zoo Coffee is a great hang-out place for friends and family so if you're from the North or if you happen to be around the area, you better check this place out! I'm so glad there's something like this in the North! I might just make it my business meeting location!

To situate myself in a creative place is something I am always fond of because inspiration and motivation is not always present in an artist-designer like me. And who knew that there's such a place in BF Homes Paranaque where you can dine and hang-out while in an art gallery?!

Definitely a place to check-out especially if you love art and you love good food because Artists Gallery is heaven! 

I'm originally a North girl but I super love the South that's why I make sure to visit as much cafes and establishments whenever I stay in the South. And last Saturday (July 7,2018), I met up with my South friends to chill and talk about business.

Hideout Tea and Coffee House - A Perfect Spot to Hang-out with Family and Friends

Located in South Caloocan, Hideout Tea and Coffee House is definitely a unique place to hang-out and dine! This is their 2nd Branch, Malabon being the first.

Being a North girl but living the Southern life, I guess it's time to try out what the North has to offer. My family likes to try out new places when it comes to eating and dining and since this establishment is just 2 jeepney rides away from home (ok. kidding. i'm not sure because we Uber-ed. haha), we tried out the place.

Balsa sa Niugan is a floating restaurant located in Malabon. It used to be a traditional fish pond which the owner eventually converted into a floating restaurant! You have the option to dine on the bamboo rafts or balsa, which I suggest you should do to get the whole experience.

MUST TRY: Sizzling Sisig. It's their best seller!

In all honestly, I can't remember what we ordered that night but what I do remember is that my tummy was satisfied with all the delicious food that Balsa sa Niugan offers! 

My family and relatives decided to try this restaurant on my grandmother's birthday dinner. It was actually raining hard but to our surprise, there was no foul smell coming from the pond, which we all thought would emerge because of the rain, so we actually did enjoy eating!

A list of Art Shops in the Philippines


Here's your definitive guide of where to buy art materials in the Philippines! As an artist, my last resort for buying and hoarding art materials are the mall-based bookstores because materials there are way expensive and most of the time, they don't have what I really need. That said, this country only has a few art shops but they do offer high-quality art materials.

Here's a list of art shops in the Philippines:

Caffera: Photo + Cafe is the brainchild of University of Santo Tomas Entrepreneurship Students. Located in Maginhawa, this snap-worthy cafe is the first photography-themed coffee shop in Metro Manila and is definitely a must-visit if you want to chill, hang-out with friends, if you're into arts and photography, or if you just love coffee! From the playful and quirky interior, wall displays of film cameras, camera mugs, and a menu with photography jargon, this cafe will definitely capture your heart!

Located at the farthest edge of Maginhawa Street, Cafe Mithi is definitely a sanctuary for your creative soul! From the depths of its facade to the experience you'll acquire just being inside its dreamy interior and down to its delicious menu, this local coffee shop for dreamers and makers is worth a visit!

I've always been fond of visiting and trying out new cafes and restaurants because (1) I like discovering nice interiors and (2) I like trying out new food and drinks! But in this case, my friends, is way different than usual because I was so effin' tired from all the walking which I don't wanna do but was forced to do, and I was sooo tired that when I saw the menu in their exterior space, I just had to stop and barge in to be able to sit down and energize myself.

"hahaha you just have to dine in there and take an insta pic i bet"

"Patbingsu (팥빙수, also written in English as patbingsoo, literally red beans with ice) (with variant spellings including bingsu and bingsoo) is a Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings such as chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and Azuki beans. The snack is highly popular in Korea." {src}

I have always been smitten with all things old so just imagine what I felt upon entering this thrift house at Cubao-Expo.

I saw this quaint little shop 2 years ago when I went to The Collective for Bloom Arts Festival 2 (see part 1 and part 2). And I seriously felt as if I was strolling in the cobbled wizarding alley and shopping area of Diagon Alley! I love the shop very much and I'm glad I spent long minutes inside it with my friends before we went to the galleries. Too bad though, I didn't bring a lot of money with me that night so I wasn't able to buy anything from Ritual. But my friend Haze bought some soaps.

"Ritual is a sustainable general store at The Collective. Sans plastic bags and bottles. Organic food, green cleaning, and interesting tools for living."

"Mr. Moo's Milk Planet Co. is the marketing arm of small, local dairy cooperatives. “This business was put up more for the helping of farmers which is one of our joys,” Mike said.  passion in revolutionizing the dairy business stems from its desire to ensure that the local, dairy cooperatives it supports, will have a constant market to absorb its raw milk production. This joint effort with dairy cooperatives allows dairymen to breed cows, carabao and goats with high productivity and pedigree producing only the highest quality and best tasting milk."
