Misa de Gallo (Rooster's Mass) Completed

After 9 long days of waking up early in bed, at last we've completed the Misa de Gallo in our local church together with my two cousins. For me, it's very hard to wake up early because the mass starts at 4:30 am so I should wake up at 3:30 am. Even though it is hard to do, I still want to do it because it's our tradition and there's an old saying that if you complete the Misa de Gallo, your wish will come true and I believe in that old saying. Because of waking up early, sometimes I fell asleep during the mass or while I'm at work. :) 

As a prize for completing the Misa de Gallo, we bought some putobumbong (a local delicacy in the Philippines during Christmas season)  and it was funded by me. :) I also want to buy some bibingka (another local delicacy) but it is already sold out.

I hope and I pray that my wish will come true after completing the mass, not for myself but for other people especially the victims of Typhoon Sendong in Iligan and Cagayan de Oro City.

Ristorante Bigoli


Me and my girlfriend have a lot in common. And one of them is we love to eat. We love to eat in different restaurants and fastfood. We try to eat different kinds of dishes as long as we can afford to buy it of course. :)




Last November 19, we chose to dine in Ristorante  Bigoli in SM North EDSA. Ristorante Bigoli serves Italian foods (pasta, pizza etc.). They also have branches in Eastwood and TriNoma. We ordered Doppio Delizioso because it is said in their menu that it is a real value for two. It consists of  Spaghetti Bolognese, 2 pcs. Italian Chicken, 2 slices of Cheese Overload Pizza, Garden Salad, Minestrone Soup and 2 Single Served Drinks. It costs 370 pesos. Here are some of the pictures that we've got.

LEGO World

Last November 27, me and my girlfriend went on a date in SM City North EDSA (a mall in Quezon City, Philippines). We watched Happy Feet 2 and after that went on strolling. While doing some window shopping (our favorite hobby) , we noticed that there are many people in a certain part of the mall that were taking pictures and I also noticed a large Christmas tree so we also went on to take some pictures. But we were amazed that the giant Christmas tree and its decorations are made of LEGO bricks. There are also some landmarks of other countries that are also made of Lego bricks. I remembered when i was a little child, I used to play Lego which is owned by my cousin. Here are some pictures that we've taken.

The Limo

It was a cloudy/rainy Sunday morning (December 4). After we ate our breakfast in Jollibee, we suddenly bumped into something amazing. I usually see it in Hollywood movies but this is the first time that we have seen it personally. I really want to take a picture with it much closer but the "shy" me though that if I do that, the owner will be angry with us. It is really a luxury car that may be driven by professional chauffeurs. I do hope that I can have one of these someday. Haha. Here, take a glimpse of what I am saying...


Note: The picture is taken near Eastwood in  Libis, Quezon City.

Kart Racing

Last October 15, me and my beloved went to Enchanted Kingdom. We tried almost all the rides but there is one ride that I really want to try. It's Kart Racing. It's actually our 2nd time going to Enchanted Kingdom but during our 1st visit, we didn't try it because it is not included in the "ride all you can" ticket and the fee is a little expensive, but in our 2nd visit, I really insist that we will not leave Enchanted Kingdom unless I tried the Kart Racing. Haha.

The entrance fee for the ride is 370 pesos for the single seat kart and 400 pesos for the double seat. We've decided that we will get 2 single seat kart so we can both enjoy the ride. The ride is only for 10 minutes. The time is a little bit short but I think it's worth it.

At first, you will fill up the waiver form then you will give the money to the personnel. Then they will tell you to get the helmets. I suggest that you bring your own helmet if you have one because their helmets are somewhat old and stinks and the eyeshield of the helmets have many scratches. Then after getting your helmet you'll just have to wait for your turn.
Here are some pictures...











Feeling like a winner LOL





After finishing the ride, I felt very happy even though the time is limited and the race track is small because it was a different experience and the racer in me have just awakened... :)
