Singapore, I can't wait to see you LAH!!

It was at 4AM when I finally pressed the Publish Post button. After a short prayer, I sent in my second entry and just hoped for the best. That was it. I gave my best shot, the rest is up to Him.

Last Monday just like any other typical morning. I got to work on time, opened my computer and went through my email inbox. I went on working up until I got a message from a fellow blogger asking me how I was. Little did I know that he would be my bearer of great news that would not only make my day but my week and month as well!

I won the contest and I'm flying to Singapore in 9 days!!! Yahooooooo!!!

This is actually the shortest time I have left to prepare for a trip. I'm speeding up my research time and quickly listing down the places and food that I will make sure to visit and try during my stay!

Updating myself about what's new in Singapore is such a breeze! I found this new localized website called PinoyLah.com gives us, Filipinos, a better glimpse of Singapore. I enjoyed reading the Sing Stories and the Pinoy Top 10 that lists the Ten Must-Eat dishes in Singapore!

I'm counting down the days as I look forward to trying the various gastronomic treats that Singapore has to offer!

Any suggestions on how I can make my trip to Singapore totally amazing? :)

    Sa Food Republic at Wistma Atria, try the Fried Prawn Mee. It's not hard to find that stall, since it's the only one always with a long queue.

    When you get tried of walking (and in Singapore, you'll walk a LOT!), do try the Singapore River Cruise. It's a bit pricey at SG$18 per person, pero it's really relaxing and it's a nice way to see the other sights of Singapore.

    Have fun in SG Fran :D

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic
