The Bunny Baker Experience

I've been winning a lot of GC's lately from the giveaways held online, from food to cd's to flip-flops and even free passes from different events in the metro. Thank you Lord for the blessings. Recently, I won a 1000 worth of GC's from the Bunny Baker Studio. It caters to your need of a personalized cake/cupcakes from simple to extravagant ones. Mind you, their cakes look amazingly beautiful. You might find it hard to indulge because it so cute you don't want to ruin it. You can check some of their works here.

So it happens that the timing was right. It's August and the birthday month of my brother. I make use of the GC to order cupcakes that have a 3D letter that spelled 'Happy Birthday'. The 3D letter cupcakes cost Php 90 each. The regular ones are priced at 75 pesos. Ordering is through emails and it should be ahead of time. In doing so I don't encounter any hassle with my orders. The merchant is accommodating and also gives suggestions and that's a plus point for someone like me who's not into sweet foods.

The 3D Letter Cupcakes in a Red Velvet with Ferrero Chocolate Frosting

Originally I want a red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting but due to humid weather they suggested to have a ferrero chocolate frosting instead. Just by learning that it's going to be ferrero chocolate, I have no doubts that it's gonna be good. And it did not disappoint the cupcakes were moist and the sweetness was just right. The frosting melts in your mouth. It was heaven. There sure is happiness in every bite.

The birthday celebrant! Happy Birthday Bro!

Big thanks to the Bunny Baker Studio for making this happen. Simplicity as its finest. ;)

Weekend Life: Potipot Island

Whether it's because of towering paper works or your boss bitching you around or you merely wishes that somehow you have a better high paying job or you broke up with your man or for whatever reasons you have in mind... we all need an escape. A breathe of fresh air from the hassle and dazzle in the city. An escape from reality, even for a day or two.

Exactly what I did one Friday morning of August. Me and a group of friends boarded the bus all the way from Manila to Zambales, we are gathered only for one reason... to have fun. Our destination: POTIPOT ISLAND. Well, its an 8-hour ride and that's definitely a no fun but I slept through most of it anyway but still my bottom was hurting but there's no other means of traveling. This is the time that I wish that you can be magically transported with a blink of an eye. I know right, that's not gonna happen.

We arrived at our friends at around two in the afternoon. Some went to the market to buy things that we needed while the others including me stay behind and played pusoy dos. I'm not a gambler and I usually don't play cards, that was my first time and they taught me how. You had to have your own strategy and an ounce of luck to beat the others. It was so fun! If I ended up being addicted I am reminding you it is because of my friends *kidding*.

The weather was a bit glum and the waves are crashing temperamentally when the others arrived from town. We left Manila with a good weather but ofcourse no one bothers to check on the weather report. The locals told us that in order to cross the sea to Potipot Island, we had to have a bigger boat. Small ones is on danger especially with the erratic waves. Our host told us that we should bade our time and board the boat the next day but due to our limited time we still insisted. We're hopeful enough that somehow the sky will be at our favor.

Waves or not. Potipot Island here we come.

Here are some of the amateur pictures that I have taken 

"There is something about the ocean that makes you feel eternal"

Truly, the view of the ocean makes everything worthwhile, the sounds of waves crashing, the feel of the wind in your skin, the sand on which you walk makes you appreciate life to its fullest. This is truly the best way to relax after hard days at work. No matter how it ended whether a storm is on its way with your friends with you on your journey it will always be the best. 

Till then! See yah on my next journey! :)

From the Bloggers Desk

Dudes and Dudettes,

I came to know that someday I might forget things due to old age but with the use of this online diary more commonly known as blogging the memories will live forever. Not that I wanted to be known or something, I just wanted to share a piece of me. I know I cannot contribute much to this world, because all of this somehow is nonsense. BUT I still want to try something that I have never done before. I am not a writer. I don't exhibit that in-depth thoughts that most writers and bloggers alike possessed. My vocabulary is limited to hundreds to a few thousand words. I cannot write even a one-page reaction paper. I really suck you know but I do know something. I wanted to learn. English is not my best game and I am willing to beat myself on my own game. Thus the birth of this blog, "Sweet and Chili Spices"

Sweet and Chili Spices is like any other blog that you can imagine. A personal space to keep my mind off things. A journal to document my everyday life's journey. Maybe some nonsense emotional turmoil of a late 20's gal. Ehem! That's me! Or just another food blog that you accidentally drop on by. The truth is, it can be anything I like. Anyway, feel free to leave your comments or feedback. I will not hold a grudge on you if you speak ill of this. It's your opinion anyway and with that I might learn a thing or two. (But I'll be so glad if you tell me in a manner not so ego wrecking) It's an on-going process. It's a never ending learning and I'll be glad to widen my horizon.

Happy reading! :)


Mwahugs!
