BBT at Avenue Square

New place with new flavors. The second branch of Bubble Town is now open at the Avenue Square in Al Fresco style. Bubble Town Tea House operated its first branch at Panganiban Drive and pioneered the Tea Industry in Naga City.

I ordered a new flavor which is the Milky Coffenut Tea in slush with 80% sugar. I'm a fan of BTT's "slushy" teas 'coz I want the coldness to last longer than the usual. Tea with a blend of coffee, sounds nice right? Lots and lots and lots of flavors to choose from, only at Bubble Town.

Friendly baristas at your service :)

These two cuties will meet you near the doorstep

Jog. But be SAFE

Wherever we are at whatever given time, it's always best to watch our back or have a companion to do it for us. Criminal minds must be lurking in every corner possible, day or night, as long as there are susceptible victims not worrying about their safety. Let's help Naga City achieve zero-crime rate. Sounds impossible but it sure helps when all of us, sane and concerned citizens, are vigilant and practice safe and non-suggestive behaviors.

One example is Jogging at the park, even when it's a few steps away from your house --how cruel can times get. The park, especially n early mornings, is one place we tend to feel homey at. In reality, It's the worst place for us to just go bouncing about and be carefree leaving our things unattended and ourselves pretty prone to crimes like sexual harassment, or even physical injury. This country needs people who are responsible and who tend to be 'superheroes' to help a neighbor go after a criminal.Naga City needs just about enough of these people especially during outdoor exercises like,  well yes, a jog at the park. When such bad encounter happens to us, let's not  hesitate to report the incident to your barangay or report it to the police even if the suspect is unidentified fr blotter. But of course during the incident, let's have presence of mind to not panic. Instead, Let's get all the available information to identify the perpetrators - serial number of his getaway vehicle be it a bike or car, distinctive mark on his face and body, clothes, time, witness, and your actions. It's best t have distance. Don't go chasing him, this could lead to a more violent situation. Our Naga Police-Tanods are approachable and 'alisto'. Avail of the contact number of your barangay. Our Naga Policemen are as alert. Let's trust them. It's give and take in peace and order. 

The fastest number is 3000 for emergencies. Pls. visit this page for more informatin on specific details. http://naga.gov.ph/see-naga/plan-your-trip/about-naga/emergency/emergency-numbers/

The best and First thing to do is, well,  Know Thy Neighbors. Goodluck! Be safe at all times! It pays to get fit.=)

Valentines 2012: Gift Suggestions

Last Sunday, I happen to stumble upon these cute little pieces of heaven for people with sweet tooth that are perfect for Valentines near the SM City Naga activity center.

These cupcakes are from Rafabel's Cakes and Pastries. Their stall is right infront of Penshoppe at SM City Naga but items are currently displayed at the activity center.

The polvoron cupcakes looks as if you don't want to eat them anymore and just stare at them for so long as you want.  It comes in the following sizes:
Singles, Box of 4, and Box of 32. They also have stand alone polvorons packed in tight resealable packs.

You can choose from among different characters that can suit the personality of the person you're planning to give this gift. These are just few of the gift suggestions for your special someone, friend or family member for this coming Valentines season.

So there, aside from the usual chocolates, cakes and flowers, at least you now have other options. Good luck!

Naga City, Let's Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

On this photo is a recycled newspaper used as paper bag when my father bought mangoes at the Naga City People's Mall (public market).

I was actually delighted to see this improvement even though it took some time and I am very particular and involved in taking care of mother earth.

Our usual practice at home (thanks to my mom who is an environmentalist) is to recycle everything that is recyclable until it wears out. You will be surprised to see our kitchen cabinets full of bottles, containers, cups, and a lot more. Kept safe and clean ready for future use and reuse.

Used plastic bags or even recyclable bags that you can use when buying for your grocery/market can actually reduce the usage of plastic.

Every thing has to start from a little contribution to mother earth so that combining all our little efforts can make a huge impact for our environment.Go for a GREEN NAGA!!

ARiel LOves SKIN

Okay so I have to take back and clarify a little from what I forecasted in my previous blog, TRENDING: ADIOS TIGER, OLA DRAGON. It's not yet Goodbye to Animal Skin/print. It is still very fashionable in Naga and it will stay on our fabrics and thingies maybe until mid this year. Besides, Dragon is alot similar with snakes skin, right? *getting droopy*
Just stroll at malls... their everywhere! It's an infection! hehehe. This is the kind of trend that have an advantage on me and Bs*y, considering that we're freaks over these sexy prints. Our Animal Skin/print (specifically, tiger. leopard, zebra, snake) collecting habit may go beyond, just maybe, our other treasured collections: my cheap strawberry stuff, lamb/sheep, guitar symbols, and her sophisticated lace collection which she recently (If I'm not mistaken) decided to collect with her partner's eager delight.

After convincing Bs*y to take photos and enjoy the 'getting huge' collection of Animal Print/Skin, she actually made a personal photo album with a short story to tell in her Facebook account, also for my private viewing. But here's a chance for me to share this exciting and daring experience with you, NCDeckers, with her permission of course. Yes, it feels a lot similar with viewing or tasting culinary plates with some exotic ingredients to savor.

 I can only imagine wearing this jaw dropping pair with my black buttoned down one-piece knee-length fitted dress.  PHOTO COURTESY OF Bs*y

 Her collecting spree had something to do with a trip to Legazpi City just to buy these Jansport bags, she said. It really does take us to heights or distance just to get a hold of our sweet fetish.  

PHOTO COURTESY OF Bs*y

  Now, This is my favorite, Reversible Sports utility bags by Jansport which she usually carries for work. PHOTO COURTESY OF Bs*y

  Bags!!!! Need say more, Ladies? PHOTO COURTESY OF Bs*y

 Some of her dresses... Roar!  PHOTO COURTESY OF Bs*y

Get Spotted too with Animal Faux Furs, Prints, Skins... savvy finds on your own trips to online fashion stores, downtown boutiques, tiangges, divisorias, department stores, school supplies shop and UKAY2!

It's all a matter of having fun with other people's work of art, designs, shopping experience and most of all celebrating newfound friendship or sisterhood with your friend with their sweet willingness to share what they have.

I know it does take some guts to do it!  Thanks Bs*y. =)

I must say, Girls or the so-called Ariels, just keep it real even with a skin on!
