Gift Giving with Taste Central

It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's the happiest season of all! Yes, that's Christmas season. Christmas lights everywhere, decors hanging around and who can ever forget of Christmas presents!

We all went our ways to find presents for our loved ones and for the people closest to us. I myself had hard time looking for presents and yes, I'm one of those last minute shoppers who squeezed with many others who did theirs during the last few days before Christmas too. In fact, I still have to search for presents after Christmas and will just give it to my friends after the holidays.

Nowadays, shopping malls are not the only place to find gift ideas. Bazaars are everywhere and home shopping has gone innovative too. We have home TV shopping (this has been locally launched and heavily advertised recently), online shopping and even online deal sites. With all these options, it's really hard to think and choose which option is best and we sometimes result to go back to the traditional shop hopping just to get that perfect gift for the special ones.

I must admit, I've been a fan of deal sites  for quite some time but I've also been so hesitant to get items from online sites (I usually get discounted coupons rather than items). I don't want to face problems of lost items or tracking item whereabouts.

Chocolate Kiss Cafe

Just a simple weekend brought us to UP Diliman campus to watch (again) Transit which had a screening at Cine Adarna - UP Film Center. After the screening, we searched for good place to stay and dine within the campus - thank you to Google Maps, it led us to Chocolate Kiss Cafe.

It's well-known for good sweet items like cakes and they also serve different ala carte that would cater the wide palate of students and the alumni as well.

The place is cozy and good for catching up with old friends and dining with your dear ones. When we arrived we were immediately assisted by the crew and even let us choose our table. It was a very late lunch for us, thus the place is not that full and maybe that gave us the chance to pick where we want to be seated. Anyway as the sign says, you just need to wait to be seated and be served well by their crew.

Legoland at Robinson's Magnolia

It's not only more fun in the Philippines, it's more creative too! 

This is what welcomed us last Saturday at Robinson's Magnolia. a Lego version of Philippine map with different historical landmarks of the country.

It is but surprising to see the beauty of the Philippines in it's Lego form. Seeing it more detailed is truly amazing and creative just by using these little toy pieces. I captured some photos and will share it here for you to enjoy. :)
