A slim pig and a major sleepyhead - I could doze off if I'm on anything soft, not necessarily comfy, but soft, any time of the day. =D

Watch-a-Eat?



Diet (verb) - wishful shrinking.
Yes, Its official. I'm on my nth attempt to lose weight. Since I am no fan of exercising, I've decided to at least try my very best to be cautious with what I eat.

As I browse the grocery racks for snacks, I found this box of healthy goodness. Rice & Oats. Bleech! But as soon as I read that it comes in Seaweed & Wasabi flavor, I practically gave it a second chance.

My odd fixation on seaweed & wasabi flavored snacks started when Gian got me wasabi chips from Aji Ichiban. After that, anything seaweed & wasabi is added to my list of comfort food. I started buying Ridges' wasabi chips, Oishi's Gourmet wasabi chips, Seaweed coated nuts (forgot what brand, though.) I even whip up wasabi dips for my non-wasabi flavored chips. So who am I to judge this seaweed and wasabi flavored treat?


Before opening the box, I started to read everything the packaging said;
Baked not fried.
Transfat: Zero/g.
Cholesterol: Zero/mg.
Fiber rich.
Caffeine free.
No MSG added.
No preservatives.

Okay. I guess that sums it all up. Everything my body and mind needed to know was printed on its packaging.

Clearly satisfied with its healthy content, I tried it & loved it. Its quite good. The best part is, its actually a product of the Philippines. A guilt-free all day snack for only PHP40.00 ;)

Refreshing, Is It Not?

While my sisters Em & Frau went strolling around the mall, I've decided to lounge about at Gloria Jean's Coffee shop. Yes, I am getting old indeed. I prefer the comfy couches over the never ending walkathon that will eventually lead to busting my budget for the day.
Upon entering the cafe, I was thinking of the usual order - A Tall Hot White Mocha. But considering the scorching heat of 36 degrees outside, I thought of maybe exploring the menu.

Strawberry Chiller.
A Php 150.00 will get you a large, sweet and sour, refreshing treat. I have no idea how long the fruit chillers have been on their menu, but this beverage is now an instant fave. I now have 2 beverages to choose from when I hang at GJ's. Haha!

I also tried a slice of their Perfect Double Chocolate Cake. It was all right. I'd give it a 6.
