Whenever I pass by the long road of Kamuning, there's this one hang out place that keeps me want to try, Raintree. Last thursday, we were dismissed early because our prof didn't meet us for the last period due to CHED matters. So, since the place happened to be along my way home, I managed to finally try it out.
This is what the place looks like.
tables outside where smoker customers can stay
tables inside where customers can enjoy their orders
The heavenly huge couch! I stayed here coz it's obviously comfy!
The counter where you actually tell your orders.
Pastries! FYI, I'm in a quest finding the best red velvet cupcake in town! Their red velvet was moist and fluffy. Verdict? Good enough. Toplist would still be the one from Sonja's. Tehee. They also serve sandwiches and french macarons. I'm getting addicted to french macarons, red velvet and pistachio flavor in particular. Mehehe. The cupcakes cost P60 each and french macarons cost P30 each.
I had the Nutella French Macaron. Didn't like it that much though. In my every munch, I was like "what's this again? Nutella.. naat." My taste buds didn't seem to detect the Nutella filling or maybe it was just me. Nutella had always been my favorite spread. I would forget my dieting habits just to indulge myself to it. I'm THAT into it.
L-R: red velvet, white choco (?) not sure lol, pistachio, and chocolate french macarons. They also have other flavors. Wasn't able to take a shot.
Red Velvet Cupcakes and Nutella Cupcakes!
The savior! Raintree Specialtea. This is their best-seller. Verdict? Oh gaah, lemme remember my name. What I liked most about it was it didn't taste like your usual milk tea. There's this after taste that makes you sip for more. Try it for yourself!
Brought some cupcakes home for ze parents
So there's my VIP card. This means more Raintree milktea to be able to reach the freebies!
Raintree is super accessible. It is located at Kamuning Road cor Ybardolaza St. near Pampanga's Best.
Collage photos of me enjoying my drink. Mehehe.
Raintree - 4 stars.
See for yourself!
It ends here.

Last Sept. 26, 2012, we had a shocking and dreadful practical exams in Dysphagia. Talk about sabaw! I was in the first 10 and fortunately, it wasn't ''that'' difficult as what I expected it to be. We had 3 things to fulfill: (1) written exam for assessment, (2) mock therapy, (3) written exam on problem list and treatment. It happened to be a GV day to our lovely professor. No harsh talking was made. I got to finish all things and I was confident with my answers.
After the pracs, me and my other blockies planned about the need to celebrate and rejoice because we were able to deliver the pracs well. Since we didn't have breakfast, we decided to go somewhere we could eat like a pig! There was a unanimous decision. Banawe it is!
We rode in Che's car and while we were at the long street of Banawe, we started choosing where exactly to eat. Fickle-minded as we may be, different restaurants were suggested. Literally suggested every single resto we saw. Visual reading, eh? :))
After 23568894 years, we finally ended up in this Chinese eat-all-you-can resto, TramWay.
P205.00 per head. Not bad at all for hungry hippos like us. Lol.
Everything in your mouth!
L-R: top- make your own salad, Chao Fan and Sweet and Sour Pork.
bottom- Tofu Balls (super sarap!), Sweet Gourd, Fish Tausi, and Sotanghon.
L-R: top- Dimsum treats!! Siomai and Shark's Fin plus Chicken, Century Eggs.
bottom- Adobo (made me think, wasn't it a Pinoy dish? :D), Bread.
L-R: top- Buchi, Maki.
bottom- Chicken and Fish.
L-R: top- Mini Cupcakes, Watermelon.
bottom- Buko Pandan and Maja Blanca.
These were my plates. Yes, 4 plates all in all. Called it a pig out day!
MEHEHEHE. I guess that was really A LOT. Loosen the hook please! HAHAHA
Mi blockies with love
THE AFTERMATH.
After the random food feast, we went back to school for Aphasia class and we were all sleepy.

"Noon, bago kumain dasal muna. Ngayon, bago kumain, Instagram muna."
A statement I saw on Twitter and then I became guilty. =))
I can't describe how Apple innovation changed the world. From keypads to touch, radio to iTunes, YM to iMessage to Viber to Voxer. Lol. From Super Mario to Temple Run, videoke to Starmaker, Photoshop to camera 360 and the like. No wonder Apple made a big impact in the industry.
Let me show to you how greatly influenced I am with this particular Apple app, Instagram. Ever since I got an account, I can't help myself but post every picture I want to post! Be it myself, my friends, food, places, etc. What's good about Instagram is that it embraces my insanity in front of the camera. I get to post photos and my friends get to like it or comment about such. Lol. Other than my undeniable vanity, I love how Instagram keeps memories by posting photos and letting others see it in real time! As long as there's internet connection, all you gotta do is take a picture, add caption, and post! Such a brilliant invention.
These are some of my Instagram photos.
Do you have an Instagram account? Follow me! @felicebat

Few months ago, I luckily met this man who suddenly became one of the few best people I've ever known. I haven't known him for a long time but I swear to our Dearest God, he is a great man. He used to be so shy and silent whenever I'm with him. He got the best eyes in the world! I can tell you he's pure Asian! He used to smile and laugh over pointless jokes me and his friends cracked. I remember my cousin calling him "girl" and my best friend calling him "insert name here" who slightly looked a lot like him. He was so open to all those silly things we lay to him.
Few weeks ago, we had a drinking session at my crib. Kimos friends, including him, my bffs and cousins. As the night gone by, he felt tipsy and wanted to sleep so he had some Zzz's at our "duyan". We continued with the shots while he was sleeping soundly. After quite some time, he woke up. As he got up from the ''duyan", I enthusiastically uttered these three words to him "GOOD MORNING, EM!" and he replied with a smile on his face. --- I didn't know that was the last time I'll be saying those words to him and it will be the last time I'd see him smile at me.
Yesterday midnight, while he was on his way home, he got a vehicle accident. He was rushed into the hospital but found out to have a critical condition. There was an internal bleeding in his head thus affecting the brain to malfunction. He didn't make it. He left us and joined God up above.
GONE TOO SOON.
Em, you will be missed!
You will ALWAYS be in our hearts!
We love you brother!
Thnksfrthmmrs.
May you rest in peace. +

INGREDIENTS:
SPAM
SOY SAUCE. It's not necessary to use Kikoman. You can use other brands as long as it's soy sauce.
SUSHI RICE
NORI SHEETS
PROCEDURES:
Slice the Spam according to your size preference.
Heat the non stick pan and then fry the Spam. (In my case, I didn't use oil because I don't want excess oil since the Spam is already greasy.)
After a minute or so, pour the soy sauce in the pan. I added sugar to make it sweet. There's no specific amount required, it's up to you. Some people want it sweet, some salty.
Let the Spam absorb the sauce for a while then it's done!
Your cooked Spam will look like this.
You are now ready to mold the Spam Musubi. If you don't have a molder, let your resourcefulness come in action like in my case, I used my lunch box.
Add a layer of rice. Again, it's your choice if how thick the rice will be.
Lay a slice of Spam then add another layer of rice. Press the rice as hard as you can! This will make the rice packed tight.
Flip the lunch box over the nori sheet so that the musubi will be taken out from the box.
Quickly wrap the Spam Musubi with the Nori sheet.
Here's the final product!
My "make your own" Spam Musubi.
Easy right? Go and make some!
It ends here. xoxo
