Jayke Reyes Launches Self-Titled Debut Album

We Filipinos are truly great singers. Let's welcome this beautiful and talented fast-rising singer named Jayke Reyes! She launches her self-titled debut album "Jayke Reyes" the other day, which contains the carrier single Kay Palad Mo which is a remake;  Perry’s Will;  Paano Na Kaya;  Sana’y Pakaingatan Mo;  and We’re All in This Together that comes with a minus one.

I was so elated to meet this young lady who happend to be a batchmate of my dear cousin during their high school years. During the press conference for bloggers at Tito Boy's Food Republic along Panay Avenue in Quezon City, she shared us that she grew up listening to Broadway songs. Actually she was raised in the US and a daughter of Filipino immigrant. It had always been her  dream to pursue a singing career so when the opportunity knocked at her doorstep, she didn’t hesitate to leave Los Angeles and flew all the way to Manila and make her dreams come true.

CHICKEN DELI in SM North: A Bacolod Original plus GIVEAWAY!

I have been at this inasal house several times already but I will initially share with you my very first encounter with CHICKEN DELI last June with my mother and cousin. Of course this will be followed with several blog posts as the encounter became more and more tasty :) My first photo shows how jam packed and well-loved this restaurant is. Every time I visit the scenario never changes. It was like there is a commotion- a meaningful one. Unlike its direct competitors, this Bacolod orginal since 1983 has only two branches here in Manila while others are situated in Laguna and as expected four more in Bacolod City. This one in SM North Annex is where I usually frequent since it is a type of mall with to go restaurant that has nice ambiance and spacious dining area coupled good Filipino comfort food and fast service. I'm looking forward to try their Tutuban branch, but since I rarely barge the area I do not know when will it happen.

Katsu Cafe in Katipunan, Quezon City

Second day of October when my friend Ness and I went here for a quick yet late lunch. It was about past one o'clock in the afternoon and that was the very time that I am scheduled to a hair pampering session with Azta Urban Salon in Katipunan. We were both starving coming from a far flung place where we covered a different kind of event in the morning. Since we did not accomplish decent breakfast nor morning snack, we ended up in a place that we both discovered after alighting from the cab. I was like so jumpy at the sight of a very favorable cafe named KATSU. At first we were kinda hesitant for the restaurant is still crowded which approximately could carry less than twenty guests. We almost missed dining here since we have to queue while having short temper due to starvation. Remember and imagine the saying, a hungry man in an angry man? It was so thoughtful of the service crew to offer us seats that we cannot afford to sit because they some shoe marks, in short it is quite dirty. Fortunately, four customers left the cafe and that means our turn.

Rai Rai Ken in SM City Bicutan

It was mid-June and there was  an unexpected lunch date with a set of newly acquainted friends here at Rai Rai Ken. Whenever I see one it always reminds me of Japan's famous Ramen. Based on my previous dining experience this is where the best-tasting and appetizing Japanese dishes can be found so I had to give it a try again. Besides, that was a long time ago since I first knew about this Japanese restaurant. Although, it is known for an old-fashioned steamy bowl of ramen, our group opted to order other mouth-watering foods that are not merely concentrated on  a noodle dish.
