Zamboanga City: Alavar's Restaurant

One of the sought-after restaurants here in Zamboanga is the Alavar's  Seafood Restaurant.  

It's a must-try restaurant for tourists and alike because of its famous Curacha dish. 

While we were waiting for our food, 

I managed to have a quick look at their souvenir section where you can take home

some items like sardines, bagoong, peanuts, Alavar's sauce and a lot more.

Meanwhile, the food that we ordered started to arrive.
We're all excited because we're soo hungry. :p

 My catch for today's reading is

A HOME IS COMFORTABLE AND INVITING 

WHEN THE OCCUPANTS ARE RELAXED AND CONTENTED.  -

Notes: 

- don't be a slave to your surroundings

- live within your means

- the real luxury is having no worries on how to pay the big-ticket toys

- living simply gives you more time for family and friends

- you've got to enjoy life every day

- there's more time for laughter and fun when you're free from financial burden

Late Night Convo

One of the great things about late night conversations

among best friends is that

you get to talk about anything within the universe. 

So last night, 

it was my lucky night when I wanted someone to talk to, and she was there. 

Our convo went for hours, and it is a good one.

I miss talking to her like that.
Miles apart is nothing because of the technology.
Thank heavens. 

We smiled, I cried, we laughed.

We're crazy, and I love it. 

But the best one, 

I got this impressive catch from her, 

"DON'T BE A MAYBE.." 

*power hug tight*

Starbucks

One of the things I look forward to whenever I go home (Philippines)

is to eat the chocolate waffle in Starbucks. 

I don't know, but it's pretty weird that they don't have it in 

Singapore and the Middle East. 

And it's a plus thing when you eat it with good old friends while sipping your personal choice of coffee accompanied by tons of chit chats. :) 

Ohhh!  I just love it. 

Zamboanga City : Nor Alberto's Restaurant

Short after our minute city tour, 

time to feed our hungry tummies. Yey!!

Eating is often my favorite part whenever I travel. Hihi! 

For our lunch, we ate at Nor Alberto's. 

The restaurant is nothing fancy.

But mind you, the food was marvelous yet affordable. :) 

We had the black soup called Tsula Itum, pansit canton, rice, fish, chop suey, and others. 

It was tummy filling.  :)

Zamboanga City : Pasonanca Park

One of the most visited parks in Zamboanga City is the Pasonanca Park. 

The park consists of numerous attractions like the Aviary Park, Swimming Pools, Boys Scout, Butterfly Park, Tree House and others. 

For us, we only managed to have a sneak peak of the Aviary Park. :) 

We didn't move further as the heat was really scorching. 

The park is full of luscious trees, and flowering plants.

The huge trees provided enough shades, but still, the heat is just too much to bear. :(

We got to see a few birds in their cages. 

After a few strolls inside, 

we immediately quench our thirst.

Good thing, they have these stalls outside. 

Easy access.
