<span style="text-align: left;">Cupcakes have definitely took the Philippines by storm. In the past few years, there have been a boom of cupcake café restaurants all over the country. Almost every restaurants have started offering cupcakes from their dessert menu which have surely delighted each and everyone's sweet tooth.</span></div>
<br />
Working in The Fort area of Taguig City has given me an edge into trying different kinds of desserts. I must say, Cupcakes by Sonja's paved way for me to incessantly consume cupcakes whenever and wherever. I am just a girl who is trying to live her life to the fullest. And I mean it by eating as much cupcakes as I can. Hello, who would say no to cupcakes? No one!<br />
<br />
It is known to us that the northern part of Metro Manila presents us with more variety of food rather than in the South so it has been quite a dilemma for us living in the South on where to buy heavenly tasting cupcakes. Unless of course, we make an effort to at least visit The Fort, which is only 20 minutes from our home but then, we'll have to pay an exorbitant amount for the toll fee. So it has been our routine to stock up on cupcakes by Friday to devour on weekends.<br />
<br />
God may have heard the quandary that the South people have been experiencing that He has answered our plea through establishing a new cupcakery café last December 8, 2012: The <b><u>Larcy's Cupcakery Café</u></b> owned by Larcy and Gatchi Gatchalian.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Larcy's Cupcakery Café is a combination of a café and restaurant that can be found in the bustling area of BF Para<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">ñ</span>aque. Larcy's actually has two floors. On the ground floor, you will see four tables with couches, two sets of mini tables for kids, a long table designed like a mini bar, and two couple tables. As for the second floor, there is also a room with a similar setting as that on the ground floor with the difference that this room can be made into a function area. They also have a balcony wherein people can hang-out while munching on their favorite dishes and drinks. The restaurant provides at least eight parking slots for their customers. Larcy's is usually packed up every time but you don't have to worry where to park your car because there are a lot of free space around the vicinity.<br />
<br />
The place's interior is highlighted with Carnation Pink and Light Blue colors. These colors are the perfect combination to give a place the cozy ambiance that most of us want to feel. It has been installed with unique lights which we are all dying to get! The chairs were very comfy and I totally adore the mini tables and chairs apportioned for kids. Next time, we'll be sure to seat on those cute chairs!<br />

There are enough food to choose from their menu. The price of the food compensates to its taste: ambrosial! The only weakness of this restaurant is its menu. Their menu is placed in a glass on a pink writing. I find it quite hard to read as the light reflects on the glass. Also, some customers find it difficult to order. Say for example, after I decide on what to buy, I will line up to the counter and state my order. But what if I have changed my mind? Or I have forgotten my order? I will have to go back to the glass menu then back to the counter once more. Also, people might end up cluttering on the glass menu as the restaurant only has one list of menu. It might be a bit of a tumult to the customers especially if they're all crowding in the glass menu. A friendly suggestion: it would be an advantage if Larcy's have a menu list board so that customers can freely check on it while they are on their table or once they are in the counter.</div>

As for the food, I am not lying when I say that they have the <b>BEST</b> cupcakes that I have ever eaten in my entire life! Dreaming of their cupcakes every night is enough proof that I really am craving for those sweets! I am not a big fan of frostings but I make these cupcakes as an exemption. Every detail of the cupcake is accurate. If I have to exaggerate it for you to try those cupcakes, then I would. Really, they're perfect! Plus points for the special cupcake holder that comes along with each cupcake!</div>

Aside from the cupcakes, we ordered the Mushroom Truffle, Beef Stew ala Trici, and Spinach Dip with Melba Toasts. May I just say that their pasta is oozing with truffle? Absolutely ideal to order because I fancy truffle. Larcy's is very generous with placing beef on their Beef Stew ala Trici, more than enough for my two friends and I! And of course, one wouldn't get it wrong with their Spinach Dip with Melba Toasts. You have got to love restaurants which truly balance their serving with the right price. I consider Larcy's to be one which is generous not just with the serving but with adding taste to their food!</div>

Along with food comes the drinks. Larcy's tenders a variety of drinks but their best seller is the <b>Frozen Hot Chocolate Velvet.</b> Instead of ordering different drinks to try on, we have decided to order three Frozen Hot Chocolate Velvet. Again, I am not kidding when I say that this drink is beyond comparison. We were already full from all the grandiose food that we have eaten but this drink is hard not to be consumed. For a price of P175, it was that good.<br />

<b>Le Petit Ch<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.15625px;">é</span>ri</b> is a French caf<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.15625px;">é-</span>restaurant that gives every person the same cozy atmosphere that one gets while in France. It is located in the Molito Lifestyle Complex across Alabang Town Center. The restaurant is owned by Edna and Henry Cureg whose passion for the French cuisine has paved way for them to open this place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLgEGvPv454i4-osukDUAmHsar9r_85YixKOwBBnKFU56gM-AdNJk3REO4TasKOYaEXsWcVb95lpDb6ujAA36Zc9B5uIIlPQ0gY9oYPyTK24rQOFP1sgACZVMd9CH6oU6VGWf9_iQxdY6/s1600/DSC_0672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLgEGvPv454i4-osukDUAmHsar9r_85YixKOwBBnKFU56gM-AdNJk3REO4TasKOYaEXsWcVb95lpDb6ujAA36Zc9B5uIIlPQ0gY9oYPyTK24rQOFP1sgACZVMd9CH6oU6VGWf9_iQxdY6/s320/DSC_0672.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

As I enter the restaurant, I immediately noticed its interior. For a small restaurant, it's rare to see a staircase as beautiful as what can be seen in Le Petit Ch<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.15625px;">é</span>ri<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 17.15625px;">. </span></span>The tables on the first floor are perfectly aligned which gives a good view from the top. What makes Le Petit Ch<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.15625px;">é</span>ri different from other French restaurants is its interior design. Underneath the stairscase, you can see their Paris memorabilia which are now for sale! The walls look like art galleries that perfectly resemble those in France. Another good thing about this restaurant is that it has two mini library collection. Isn't it an adept combination of a hang-out place? Enjoying the French atmosphere through eating and reading books at the same time.<br />

As for the food, the humongous pastries are definitely eye catching and mouthwatering. Plus, there are a lot of choices to pick from their menu. They even have a breakfast menu! I must say, the food tastes good! The portion for each order were enough to fill our stomach. Though some of the dishes were quite pricey, I believe it compensates to the serving amount and its delicious taste (most especially the L'Opera!). This means that we need to go back to try each one of them! Here are some of the food that we have ordered yesterday:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">De La Salle Innersoul, in its 15th year of existence, presents REVOLUTION.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;" /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">On November 15 & 16, 2012, 7:30 PM, at the Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium, witness as history unfolds right before your eyes, and prepare for a lineup of performances that are all for empowerment, love, faith, and change.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">De La Salle University's pop vocal group whose ministry is to spread faith and hope to its audiences. It hones soloists in various genres of contemporary music from pop, jazz, rock, R&B and rap.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">It all started with the college reunion of four Kundirana members whose passion for singing led them to establishing a musical group of their own. Resultantly, Innersoul was formed, became a member group of the Cultural Arts Office, and launched on October 3, 1997. Another member came into the group in 1998, and the five members went on to stage their first major concert entitled, "Innersoul : In Control". After the success of their concert, Innersoul went on to do a concert tour of La Salle schools all over the country. The five members became seven in 1999, and in the same year, Innersoul staged their second major concert, "100% Innersoul".</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">During the succeeding years, the celebrity of Innersoul became greater. The group became in-demand for college and university activities not only within De La Salle University-Manila campus, but also in other Universities. The year 2001 marked the end of Innersoul’s exclusivity of membership for former Kundirana members for they now started recruiting non-Kundirana alumni. The newly revitalized Innersoul, went on to present their Valentines concert, dubbed as "Soulmates", with Marian Quadrangle as the setting. Year 2003 marked the end of exclusivity to male members for Innersoul has now opened its doors to accepting female vocalists. Last 2007, Innersoul held a successful 10th year Anniversary Concert followed by a series of successful recitals and concerts such as "Under The Starlit Sky", "Carnivale", "Philosophy Of Music", "Forever Yours", "In Love", "Dozen Delights", and "Songs Forever".</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">Innersoul is expected to reach greater heights in the years to come, having been able to produce excellent performers like Vince Alaras of the premiere band South Border, Johann de la Fuente, stage actor for Trumpets and Gian Carlo Magdangal of the pop vocal group 17:28 and of Philippine Idol fame. The legacy of quality entertainment shall live on and continue to be provided by Innersoul for many years to come.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">De La Salle Innersoul has played a big part in my college life. I was once a member of this group from 2008 - 2011. I used to be the group's talent manager during my stay in the university. Although I am not a singer, I can say that I am very bonded with this group. I have spent most of my time with them while I was in college that's why leaving school has been very hard for me. They're extraordinarily special to me that even if I have already graduated nearly 2 years ago, I continue on supporting them by watching their events. And the recent concert that they had was the Revolution. (</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">https://www.facebook.com/delasalleinnersoul)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">Every year, there is a different concept for each concert. And for this year, it is all about Revolution. It speaks of our fight against war, poverty, and other different issues that our world is facing. At the end of everything, we should always remember that our most powerful defence and driving force is our faith with the Lord Almighty.</span></span></span><br />

Yesterday, Paula and I met up in Bonifacio High Street to "formally" introduce each other, talk about VCF and everything under the sun, and EAT. I have known Paula since we were in college but we've never really gotten the chance to talk to each other back then. But as God has planned it, a certain mishap has led to a new found great friend! So when I got home, I checked on her <a href="http://instagram.com/adripautan">Instagram</a> and geez, look at what my eyes are feasting! Almost all of her photos contain FOOD! She definitely has this great passion for food and she enjoys eating without ever getting fat! Haha!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To be honest, I don’t know what I should be typing for this entry or why am I even making one. But one thing is certain; I have to express my feelings through writing.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Have you ever felt it? Butterflies that flutter in your stomach, lack of sleep only to wait for a text message, and suddenly smiling for no apparent reason? Well, I did. And these are just some of the things that paved way for me to fall in love.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Yes, I have been in love. I have felt that tremendous feeling of being treated as someone special and likewise. However, with love comes pain. It is inevitable. And with that fact, it should already be obvious that I have been hurt, too.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Three days ago, it was suppose to be the first anniversary of my then boyfriend. Except that things have changed for the both of us. We never made it on our first anniversary as a couple. It hurts, right? I’d like to believe that most couples would want their relationship to last forever but I did not get my fair share of a happy ending. Not now… not with him. I used to think that once I enter a relationship, I want it to be my first and last one but it definitely didn’t stay true with me. You see, that guy and I broke up a couple of months ago. At first, I was perfectly dealing well with the break-up but just as the day of the anniversary is coming nearer, I’m starting to feel the sadness that it has caused on me.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>They say grief occurs in five stages. First, there’s denial, followed by anger. Then bargaining, depression, and acceptance. But grief is a merciless master. Just when you think you’re free, you realize you never stood a chance.</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I have experienced all those five stage. And I must say, I was in denial for the longest time. Denying doesn’t mean that I cannot accept the truth that it was totally over BUT I think of it like the relationship itself never happened. Everything about the two of us was inexistent. Yes, I got angry and depressed, too, but only for a short time. Believe it or not, I never cried the months following the break-up, all because I was too strong (and like what I’ve said, in denial) to feel that burning desire of crying. But I know that one day, I will eventually cry. And I did. I cried because it has finally dawn on me. I am forced to face the truth. I now have to accept it.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Most break-ups turn bad but ours was in a good way. As much as I do not want to let go of that person that I used to love, I need to. I cannot be selfish. I am not the person who is destined to change him for the better, nor is he that person who is going to make me happy through the years. I might have burned the heaven with prayers to salvage our relationship during that time but God has other plans for me. He wanted me to let go because my time with that person has come to an end. I keep on hearing God telling me, “Hannah, it’s time to let go. My purpose of letting you be with that person has ended. It’s time to move forward to My better plans.” And as much as letting go would mean being hurt, I ultimately did. Things may not have transpired the way that I want it to but it was God’s plan, which is better, by the way.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Right now, I could tell you that my heart hasn’t been completely healed yet. But I will get there.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s okay to be not okay. It’s alright to be lost for a while. One shouldn’t be frightened of going astray because although others have completely given up on us, there is still Someone who will tirelessly search for you notwithstanding the time that He is going to expend just to find you. No matter what is going on with your life, He will always be there. Everything happens for a reason, according to His plan. In some ways, I consider my state of being heartbroken as a blessing. Why? Because I deem that guy to be my northern star. If he did not break my heart, then, I wouldn’t be led to where I am now: back into my Creator’s arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To that guy, thank you. Thank you for both the pain and happiness that you have given me. And I’m sorry for all the disappointments that I have carelessly made. I really don’t have anything else to say to you because I have already told everything from the last time that we’ve seen each other. I will never regret a single thing between the two of us. As I have told you, regret doesn’t remind us that we made mistakes, rather, it reminds us that we can do better next time. So even if I wish that I didn’t love you, I am very glad that I do. I am certain that you will never be able to read this but know that I am always, always praying for you to have a great life. I only want the best for you because you truly deserve it. And my last words for you? I hope that you’re living the life that you have always wanted to, and have gained enough outlook to know, as I know, that something doesn’t have to last forever to have value.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">At this moment, I am focus on making myself genuinely happy. Knowing what makes me pleased is actually my key of having a life that is full of both laughter and contentment. I have yet to see more of what life is going to offer for me and I couldn't be any more excited with that thought. This experience may have made me lose one person but God has given me tenfold of what I deserve to get.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Don’t let your heart be besieged with fear. Move forward and accept what life is going to throw on you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>(Philippians 4:13)</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

After a tremendous week of training, one deserves to eat whatever food she likes, right? And I did just that! Aileen and I treated ourselves to a well deserved dinner and desserts after having a week long of accomplishing yoga. We felt the need to merit ourselves after doing well with our yoga classes and the best reward that a person wants is food. I know, I know. You might say that binge eating is contrary to our purpose of practising yoga but doing it once won't really hurt, right? Just so you know, a person cannot eat for at least two hours before starting yoga. So most of the time, Aileen and I come to our yoga classes with hungry stomachs and mind you, we keep on thinking of food while having yoga. But to our surprise, we do not get hungry after class. As for me, I only start starving after about four hours from the time that I have ended my yoga session. It is weird, isn't it? Anyway, it was Aileen who brought up the idea of eating after finishing a week of yoga. It was mainly because we don't have the time to bond over food after every class. We head directly to our work during the morning and as for the evening, we immediately go home. I believe that I have already given you enough explanation (or maybe excuses. Hahaha!) as to why we are pigging out!<br />
<br />
So after seven days of working hard, we headed to Barcino in Greenbelt for a light dinner. It was Aileen who chose the restaurant because she hasn't eaten there. We only ordered appetizers as we plan on "focusing" with desserts. Here are some of the photos of the appetizers:<br />

As you can see, we have only ordered three sets of appetizers. Nonetheless, they were all delicious! Most especially my personal favorite, patatas bravas! Aileen and I thought that we can finish all of these three but unfortunately, we did not. See how "full" we are despite not eating hours before yoga? It is really true, then. A person gets to lose weight by practising yoga! And that is through doing the postures and not being hungry after class. There are still some leftover (on Aileen's part) but we decided not to finish it to make room for desserts.<br />
<br />
After Barcino, we went straight to Kai (located in Greenbelt also) for some desserts. Kai is actually a Japanese restaurant which offers a good set of food (we have yet to try that foie gras!). It is not the kind of place with a Japanese architecture in it because it definitely looks like an English restaurant. The place is perfect for couples who want to spend a date as it looks very romantic. Anyway, instead of ordering the usual sushi and meat, we opted for desserts.<br />

They look delicious, right? Well, you won't be disappointed with what you are seeing because they taste incredulously ambrosial. I even have to take out a peanut butter chocolate bar!. I do not eat green tea ice cream but this one's an exemption. I knew that I need to have a taste of it and I am glad that I did! One thing is for sure, I am definitely coming back to both Barcino and Kai to get another taste of my favorite food!<br />

Last September, C32 (my college block) had a dinner in Greenbelt. From there, I had a long talk with my friend, Aileen. We mostly talked about how we can balance our social life, work, and healthy lifestyle. Our conversation led us in to trying yoga.<br />
<br />
I went searching for good yoga places within the vicinity of Makati and The Fort and found Bikram Yoga Manila (www.bikramyogamanila.com). Bikram Yoga Manila is located in 15/F 88 Corporate Center, Valero St. cor. Sede<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">ñ</span>o St., Salcedo Village, Makati. Its proximity from our work has made us decide to try it and as luck have it, they're offering a special rate for beginners!<br />
<br />
So what's the difference of bikram yoga from the other kinds of yoga? Bikram Yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhary in the late 1970s. It is a series of 26 postures including 2 breathing exercises that will run for exactly 90 minutes. Each posture stretches and strengthens the muscles, ligaments, and joints in the body. Aside from that, Bikram Yoga is done in a heated room with a temperature of 38<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">°C</span>. The heat helps to warm the muscles (which will burn fat easily), clears the circulatory system, improve the function of the nervous system, and promotes sweating which detoxifies the body.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The poses look impossible but the greatest challenge in doing this type of yoga was the heat. The first breathing exercise has caused us to sweat like we ran for an hour. Yes, it was that crazy! I seriously felt like all the fluid in my body is being exhausted. All the beginners from the class kept on rubbing off the sweat from the body but (obviously), it won't stop. The sweat was immensely distracting but one must learn how to shrug it off. This type of yoga is no joke and I must say, I almost gave up on the second day due to the heat and the incredible hard poses but you know what kept me going? My goal to achieve a healthy lifestyle. I don't mind taking both the 6:30 am and 6:00 pm classes because I know that I am going to benefit from it. Bikram Yoga actually improves ones cardiovascular systems and coincidentally enough, I have both a heart and lungs disease. See how beneficial it is for me?<br />
<br />
After completing our bikram yoga subscription, I have felt that my body has improved, most particularly my heart and lungs. Although I still experience some (literal) pain in my heart and it will no longer be healed, I'm positive that it will eventually lessen. I am always looking forward to waking up each day and doing yoga! I suggest that you guys try it. Just a piece of advice for everyone: go with a friend who is dedicated into finishing whatever activity that you want to accomplish. As they say, don't let your friend lost motivation to get fit. Be the best Fit Friend you can be!<br />

<span lang="en-us"> It was last March when I found out that the musical is going to be shown here in the Philippines and just after the announcement, people have started raving through twitter on how eager they are to purchase tickets for the show. Luckily, Smart Infinity and Citi card holders were given a chance to buy tickets (with a discount) starting March. While the rest can only buy their tickets from the month of May and onwards. Fortunately, I managed to buy a ticket last April due to Citibank. Everyone knows how thrilled I was to watch the show!</span></div>

I can honestly commend that the whole production was beyond amazing. I have been a fan of the Phantom of the Opera since in the early 2000s but it was only through my bestfriend whom I got introduced to the world of West End and Broadway. The 25th Anniversary last year had me into tears, and my emotions show no difference to what I have felt when I have actually watched it here in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
The Phantom of the Opera truly is one of the best musicals that have ever been staged and I am thankful to have seen it live. My dream? To see the show live in West End and Broadway. Someday, someday.<br />
