CAFFE REVIEW:

Today is our 2nd Open Rice Eat's a Date Event in Caffera.
Before that, Nilyn and I were so excited because we dont know yet the exact address of this place we search it first on fb then google, then the excitement and the feeling of interest trigger us because of what we have seen in their fb page.

About the Caffera...

According to the one owner of this Caffera Gab, 21 years old, when they are in college they have a thesis then this ideas come-up with his classmates, and from paper they will finally realized it in real life. According to him, many circumstances comes and even he wants to quite but his friend Kevin is very business minded to push this business and encourage them until it works and become a successful Caffera.

Why Caffera?

Caffera stands for Caffe+ Camera or Photos, Gab said that they choose the Photographer theme because today's generation loves pictures, anywhere selfie, so they come-up with that and the theme and the ambiance  of their place is like a studio, and you can see cameras display picture frames and its a beautiful place. Aside from that, they want also show and share to their costumers the importance of Cameras, capturing moments and to value it. 

The names of their menus also are unique and I love it. It comes from the photography like the sizes they called it a Mega Pixel for big, and Pixel for small. 

Their mags, it was Camera's designs and everything in there  really close to their photographer theme Caffe.

Open Rice Event, Lola Cafe+Bar

Nilyn of Above Precious Rubies and I were Invited for the Open Rice event in Lola Cafe+ Bar by a blogger-friend Jennie of Raising Hunter  in St. Tomas Morato Quezon City. We're excited because was our first resto-review event invite, and of course going their with our toddlers.

We met-up in Trinoma Edsa where Jennie picked us up, thanks sis Jen for the ride, and we were late! lol, yeah, because it was super traffic and we didn't know the exact place. After an hour drive, finally we found Lola Resto + bar. Thank you Lord we're safe.

The event was held at the second floor, and we arrived late so the event was almost done mabuti at nakahabol pa kami at may natira pa sa table. hahaha!

When we arrived there, the place looks so homey, and cool. This place is really good for family date, family reconciliation, family planning, friends bonding, chitchatting, group meeting, and so forth.

Aside from that, I like the space of their resto they had more tables and chairs outside if you want a breathe of the fresh air specially in the afternoon or in the evening.

The Foods...

Honestly I super duper bitin sa food na natikman ko because of my super malikot na ZD, but super sulit naman. I love the unique taste of their foods, I love all the foods not just because was hungry that time but because of the variety, the creativity and the next level of pinoy foods na talagang magugustuhan natin.

Compared to other resto foods na sometimes nakaka-umay minsan di mo nalang ubusin kasi nagsawa kana agad, this one is a place na gusto mong balik-balikan. That feeling na kala mo bahay mo because their foods are like the foods na hinahanda natin sa bahay but there is something special na talagang ma love mo at hanap-hanapin mo.

I would love to share with you for what I am talking all about. (Sorry for the photos medyo hindi na presentable ang mga foods kasi late na kami but it looks so good pa naman hahaha)

The October Blast experiences!

Whoa! Time flies so fast, it's November na! I'm so excited everytime the month ends, and I love, love "BER" months, why? Simply because  it's like rush hour for me - ang bilis lang ng araw may ginagawa ka man or wala, specially if you only focus on taking care of your tot (just like me, lol!).

Alright what's on my October's list and experience? I'd like to do a recap so that when my ex boyfriend (my husband) will have an internet signal and ask what happened last month, while we don't have a communication, I can just send him this. We have no communication for 53 days! Yes, you read that right - 53 days without communication is hard but I always find ways just to make myself busy.

So here we go!

1. Let's start with my ex boyfriend voyage to US, thank God after 3 years nagkita din sila ng sister nya. 

At New Orleans my husband with his sister

2. My ZD bear was sick for 1 week before the MBP's event in Tagaytay, and thank God all went well before the Spooky event.

3. Birthday party in MOA at Jollibee Phoenix FAILED lol!

4. My MBP's first Event in Tagaytay
