Almost a month has passed since graduation happened and here I am, blogging about it. Better late than never, right? I didn't really feel graduation sink in until yesterday - when I submitted my law school application forms. Shit just got real! The thought of studying again scares the shit out of me but I should be able to do it again, right?
I wasn't scared when I entered college. In fact, it was just a mix of emotions. I had no idea how I am supposed to feel.

It still doesn't feel like I'm finally done with college. Hahaha! I guess it'll all come together when I find a job or start with law school. Now this post deserves a shot! Cheers!
People can get addicted to a wide variety of things. For most women and a growing number of men, it's shoes. I'm not a person who is fond of shoes for a simple reason - I have big feet. If you think your feet are big, wait 'til you see mine. LOL.
SHOE ADDICT have you heard of them? They hold private bazaars every month and inventory sales once a year. My mother is a HUGE fan of this bazaar and she's been telling me all about it for the past year or two. Last Sunday, I was fortunate enough to catch the last day of their inventory sale.
They sell a wide variety of shoes from sandals to oxfords, to booties, strappy heels, pumps, wedges, etc. It's a shoe paradise!
The shoes they sell are from high end brands such as Steve Madden, Aldo, Kenneth Cole Reaction and a whole lot others. If you're really lucky, you might snag some Louboutins! On their monthly bazaars, prices are at around Php 2,500. During their inventory sale, prices drop to only two choices! Php 1,000 and Php 500! Ah, you girls are really lucky. The sizes available are from 5-10; unfortunately, I am an 11. Oh the pains of having big feet.
Last weekend was the last time they will be having sizes 9.5 and 10 since new stocks don't come regularly said one of the organizers.
If you're size 5-9, maybe I can keep you posted? I'll let you know when their next sale is :)
Weeks have passed since my sister and I arrived from Bacolod - the land of sugarcane. I miss it already.
For the whole 4 days and 3 nights that we were there, we ate in 12 different restaurants, cafes, etc. It was exciting and fattening but what can I do, food loves me back.
My sister and I decided to walk along Lacson street so that we can walk in to almost every store we pass by. Somewhere along Lacson we stumbled upon Flibby's Cupcakes.
Flibby's Cupcakes is a small store and you barely notice it when you're riding a car or jeep passing along that road. The store displayed a variety of cute a delicious looking cupcakes. Even the flavours they offered were interesting! It sure did get my taste buds tingling! Haha
Here's an example of their flavours:
 |
| Banoffee Cupcake |
 |
| Maple Choco Chip Pancake |
 |
| Key Lime Margarita Cupcake |
Their prices range from Php 40.00 to Php 65.00. These pastries are fairly priced considering the presentation and serving size. It's very pretty and filling to look at although I don't agree when it comes to taste.
I had the Maple Choco Chip Pancake cupcake and I was really excited to eat it. I remember how I would make pancakes and mix chocolate chips in the batter then drizzle it with more chocolate later on. I remember the pancakes being fluffy and soft. This cupcake was very sad. It was stiff and very dry although the frosting was sweet and had a little bit of coffee mixed into it, the texture was just too rough. The over all idea of having a breakfast cupcake was interesting but I guess they weren't able to make that breakfast wonderful :(
On the other hand, their Banoffee cupcake was interesting. The term "banofee" is usually followed by a "pie" which meant it had a bit of a crunch to it. It's cute how they jammed the banana, coffee, chocolate and caramel flavors into one small cupcake. It tasted fine, nothing extra ordinary about it. The cupcake would have tasted better if they used whipped cream instead of that grainy frosting.
I'm not sure if Flibby's is a newly opened store but I'm guess it's fairly new considering that they still have to improve on their recipes. LOL. Well, the next time I go to Bacolod, I'll definitely come back and have another round of cupcakes to taste.. or judge. LOL
