It's Cooler in Scottsdale, Arizona

Today, it is 33 °C in Manila, it is cooler in Scottsdale, Arizona with a temperature of 21°C. My baby Kiara would have love that kind of weather. Like right now, she can't sleep and she is always sweating. There is also an increase in electricity bill because of the heat. Oh, it is really hot these days.

I remember when I was a trainee in a call center and we have to memorize the states of America and some trivia that goes with it. The state of Arizona does not follow the daylight savings time because in their history they have a lot of banks there and if they will follow DST they always have to change the passwords, computers and some application in the bank just to follow DST.

So, going back to the weather, Manila's weather is hotter than Arizona. If I live in the States I could purchase some Arizona lands and you can find some properties at this site Scottsdale real estate. Check this one out Eagle's Pass located near a four Season's Resort and Spa.

The property is spacious and ideal for kids and for fitness conscious people.

A Different Kind of Furniture

This is my first time to see these kinds of beds. I am used to the symmetrical and modern designs displayed in department stores. These reminds me of the furniture for sale in Tagaytay where they used the same material for table but not beds. You can find these beds in this site rustic furniture and upon browsing the site, I particularly love the Eastern Cedar Mountain Collection complete with nightstand, 2 dressers, mirror and a table lamp. I like the color of the wood because it is not too dark and imposing. The color seems to have a calming effect and perfect for sleeping or reading a book. The simple design makes it easy to coordinate with the right sheets, mattress and other accessories.

Chocolate Kiss inside UP Diliman

We ate at Chocolate Kiss last March 14, Saturday, together with my classmates on my masteral Counseling class under Dr. Evangeline de Jesus.  I was surprised to know that they raised their prices. We first ate here 4 years ago during our prenuptial with Mimi and Karl. Hehehe. Syempre mataas na ang cost ng food. Pero ok pa rin naman ang taste and reasonable na ang price nila... like the spareribs ( best seller) parang rumpa na rin. malaki ang serving. 

Gumbo at the Atrium

If we finished early on Monday or Tuesday, after my masteral class, we would try to go and sample new restaurants especially in the Atrium. There are a lot of new restarant there and each of them has their own style of enticing guest to eat.

We tried Gumbo because they have big servings that is good for sharing. They also have a free buffalo wings during that time. 

So we ordered pizza for me and pork chop for Irwin. ( so much for sharing) plus we had the buffalo wings.

This is my first time to eat a special meal, according to Irwin it taste like the food in the States. Ganito raw talaga ang lasa ng mga pagkain dun. Gumbo, a Taste of New Orleans, wow, sarap. The pizza is not like the other pizza I've tried. Ewan ko, I cannot describe it. Wala kang ititira, like in some pizza you don't eat the hard bread, eto to the last bite.

The coleslaw tastes something else. The porkchop is also tasty.

we will definitely go back and try something else on their menu.

Vista de Lago

We went to Vista de Lago last sunday for the Christening of my cousin's son, James Conrad Garcia. It was such an elegant and lovely place to live. It is located in Tuktukan, Taguig and not very far from our place in Pasig since we took the private vehicle route. Real Estate is booming in that place, I've seen lexington and there is another one, Camella Homes.

It look like a resort in Boracay, reminds me of Pink Patio but this is nicer. 

That was Kiara in the picture with my mother-in-law, Mamy Precy.

How time flies... Kiara is so big already!

Kiara in Caleruega
