because i miss our morning's after work, i will share a photo of a random morning jp and i share a year ago when we still work at the same office (:

we both look sleepy since our work requires us to stay up all night (:

this local resto is located at j center in mandaue. it's cozy and vintage and the food is good!

brekkie, anyone?

i love breakfast food is an understatement! (i mean who doesn't?) 

although it's true that not most people can wake up early and have breakfast on it's appropriate time. it is however a fact that most people love (again, an understatement) pancakes, silogs (tapsilog, spamsilog, chorisilog, danggitsilog), coffee, milk, hot chocolate, bagels, and waffles, and of course the sauces and dips and those liquid-y thing that comes along with it (peanut butter, cookie butter, maple syrup, caramel, chocolate, etc)! haaha sorry, but i couldn't find the right words in describing my love for breakfast (i mean food and yeah i should stop talking in parenthesis!)

and so because of my enthusiasm for brekkie i want to share to you my newest find in the best breakfast place where you can just forget about the world and not think about anything else but the food laid in front of you. you will even forget instagram (trust me..or not!) haaha!

DAViD'S

sunday after vday, jp and me went for a drive around it park to have a little breather from a cray work week and a crazier work week ahead and we got hungry so we looked for the nearest breakfast place around. david's is relatively new in IT Park but they said there is actually an old david's place in some part in the city (which i obviously wasn't aware of). and this was a perfect timing because we have been wanting to try out their steak for a while now. however, when we got there, the waiter (who was very kind by the way) suggested that we get the salpicao because it was their best seller. so salpicao i got but since jp was really wanting to try the steak, he got himself one. their meals come with unlimited steak rice and IT WAS THE BOMB! i mean the steak rice was the bomb! haaha don't trust my take on this too much though because i am just really a rice person (is there even a term like that?) and by the way, the salpicao i ordered did not disappoint. jp ended up getting more from my plate ((:

EARLY BiRD BREAKFAST CLUB

this place is located in bonifacio high street and man we walked around for a while just to find it. ok, so when jp booked tix for manila just for a day, i started researching for the best places where we can eat and i came across this place in my favorite blogger's page, pattylaurel.com

she said this was newly-opened and being the crazy follower that i was, i told jp that we are not coming back to cebu unless we try this place out. the initial plan was to go there directly from the airport so it would really be a "real breakfast" feel for us but we were really surprised to find out that the place was packed and they couldn't accommodate us for the next hour or two. so we headed to italianni's instead but vowed to go back for dinner. (yes i was that desperate)

i should say that it was really a good decision to come back because the ambience, the food, and every little detail about the place was really what i expected it to be. although the place was really pricey (around 275php-350php/serving) it was a treat really to be there!

their location is near fitness first in boni high. it is to it's right when you face the fitness first bldg.

this was prolly the best tasting tapa i ever had. it was soft and not too dry and was just perfect!

the chorizo was equally tasty. i actually like it there because their chorizo was served with vinegar which i couldn't find here in cebu.

of course, who else was i with? food is such a common denominator with me and jp!

our other companion is carl, i have know him since high school and he was so kind to drive us around manila

we chose to sit at the 2nd level to get a good view of people coming in

these kids also had their breakfast at past 5:30pm already!

WORD!

CAFE SARREE

this is a little breakfast nook in escario (cebu city) which jp found accidentally. just right at the back of this cute place is nice day carwash which jp frequents every weekend. so when this place opened he asked me out on a date and ever since, we look forward to sunday morning carwash cos it means breakfast at saree! yeyy! (happy dance) the place is a resemblance of early breakfast place in boni high but it is way cheaper and also very accessible. if you happen to follow my instagram, you will see posts of the food we order (yeah, i'm just really like that, i post food photos haaha).

just this morning, i took sherah, my pretty friend from bacolod, to a breakfast date in this beautiful cafe so we can catch up. we haven't seen each other for quite a while now so instead of going to a night out (which we used to do a while back), i decided to share stories with her on a breakfast. yes, i'm a little tired of going out at night because i'm getting old and boring (what other excuse can i say?) haaha but kidding aside, i really think that breakfast dates are way better cos the day is just starting and a lot of positivity is present so it makes the catching up more fun and saner too! haaha

they say to eat like a king during breakfast, but who cares? when it's breakfast food, i always eat like a king even if it's served in the middle of the night. 

what about you? what's your favorite breakfast place?

happiness is being with a high school friend who understands your craziness no matter what. last saturday, i was with eleane catching up while jp is working on some office stuff (:

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey

blueberry is my flavor, what's yours?

this blueberry cheesecake is one of the best i tasted here in cebu! it's a lil bit pricey but when you get lucky, you  can just savor the yumminess for free (((: thank you jp! you can order this yummy treat at 10th dove street and check out more mouth-watering flavors available!

JP n JP

yessss! i finally changed my relationship status! from single to in a relationship, how awesome is that? haahaha well, you may find it too OA because nowadays, changing of relationship status (yes i mean in facebook and in real life) seemed to be overrated. ours is different. few people who actually know our story can tell you that it's not the usual love story (: i have always wanted to tell the whole world how everything turned out to be what it is right now but i think it would be too bias if i only tell it from my own side of the story. jp has his own version to tell too so i'd better keep it to myself. but i think that doesn't keep me from telling the whole world how happy i've been since he came.

avant garde 2011, jp dint make so much pansin here-- we weren't together yet! but he looks dashing!

jp is my long lost beach buddy! we started hanging out because we discovered we both love the water! too bad-- he doesn't tan and every time we beach, it's always me who turns out to be very tanned! oh well, coffee + milk (:

we are beach bums! shang 2011

jp is very spontaneous, and i am too! we often go long drives together to anywhere and everywhere our crazy heads can think of!

tops! tops ofs thes worlds! hahaha

we are gym buffs! uhmm, i mean he is but i kinda was drag because of him. hahaha but seriously, we work out together just because we are also both food afficionados! every time we binge, we pay it with work out!

crimson buffet!

luau citigym christmas party! free food and show of gym cut bodies!

one of the many afterwork food trips we have-- krua thai

you may wonder why i only have one/two photos of our food trip together and i'm raving about it-- well, you have to understand that when we are hungry, we focus all our energy to eating and just savoring the food hahaha next time, i promise to have better photos! (but who can think of taking a pic when you're hungry huh, tell me!?)

and these are photos of the crazy, wacky and happy couple that we are!

there is soo much to talk about jp and how a match we are as a couple!  sometimes, i kinda think that he is too good to be true but he never fails to assure me that he is for real and what we have is not just a spur of the moment kind of thing! we're goin to rock 2012 baby! x

**you might have figured it out already why it's jp n jp on the title huh? (john paul & jasel prill)
