Bon AppeTEA

Hello, February! Time runs so fast and now, another (one of my favorite) month has come. Okay, forgive us for being busy and not updating this blog for a month and a day to be exact. Really, January has been a very tiring month. Without any excuses, here's another place that you can check and hang out with friends or with your loved one/s since February is also the so called "Love Month."

We discovered this new place which because of our love of Cafe Cristina. I remembered, I was so excited while it was still in construction phase and got more excited upon seeing colorful chairs and tables being delivered. July 14, 2012 when the store officially opened but we just came to check the place last December (busy schedule will be our forever excuse. haha!)

Now let us take a look inside:

(The place was fully occupied when we went there that's why we don't have good photo/s of the place)

Bon AppeTEA serves the following kinds of tea and more.

I ordered Medium House Pearl Milk Tea while we ordered Large Peachsicle Milk Tea. They only have medium (16oz.) and large (22oz.) size by the way.

And this is what I love the most about the place...

The wall filled with sticky notes! :)

Upon seeing this, I did not think twice and asked one of the baristas where to find the materials needed. She handed me a set of sticky notes and said that pens are already provided on each table. 

I love how we do the 'activity' with full cooperation ♥

And of course, how can I forget this:

mnmloveslife.blogspot.com ♥ will feature Bon AppeTEA =) Promise kept!

 For the good milk tea and great place, thank you, Bon AppeTEA! :)

This February, let your loved one/s feel how much you love them with an extra effort if permitted. Treat her/him just like what we had when we went at Bon AppeTEA. It doesn't need to be extravagant as long as it is from the heart. But like what I'm always saying, it is not just this month that we let them feel we love them, it should be everyday and everytime we can.

Happy Love Month, everyone! ♥

Cafe Cristina (A Valentine Escape)

Valentine's Day. A day when we can see hearts in almost every place we go. They say, it is the time to let our loved ones feel how special they are for us.  But since I believe that it should be everyday and not just on a the 14th day of February, this day is not that big event for me though I always try to make my loved ones feel extra special whenever this day comes.

To make it a bit special, we decided to watch movie after work while everybody's having their dinner in those jam packed restaurants and fast food chains. To match it with the mood, we watched "The Vow." Of course, love story.

After watching movie (since we are still full because we already ate before we went in the movie house), we just walked around the mall where we saw a wall designed with cute hearts where we can't help but have pictures with it as our background.

The mall was so full that we thought of going somewhere calm and quiet, a place where we can escape the noise and just feel relaxed. Fortunately, as we passed by Marcos Highway, we found this perfect and almost-hidden place, the Cafe Cristina.

Who would have thought that behind a gas station is where a place like this will be located? Okay. It's just a simple and typical coffee house but what I love about this place is the calming ambiance that it gave us as we went there.

As mentioned, we're still full but because we can't stay there and order nothing, we just had the following:

Lechon Kawali

 

 I tried their chocolate milkshake while he had their iced tea :)

As I said, we must let our loves feel our love for them everyday but for this day will never be complete without making our loved ones feel extra special. Flowers for me and chocolates for you, pogi! :)

Upon going home, I saw one thing that caught my attention and made me say to myself that we must come back: THE SWING. I really love swings which reminds me of being a child. 

To end, we told ourselves that we will surely come back to taste other foods that this cafe is offering. And of course, for me to experience swinging on this blue swing. I know it will wait for me :))

So, the next time you pass by Marcos Highway, make sure to stop by and try eating here.
