I just turned XXII last January 31st and to tell you honestly I've been dreaming to travel with friends when I finished my studies. If given the chance I like to travel abroad, too. But for the mean time, we can only go to places our pockets could afford to. Our destination, Cagayan De Oro City-10 hours away from my home city.

Visiting Cagayan is like bringing myself back to Zamboanga City, with its one-of-a-kind tricycle and  stone thrown away restaurants and foodcourts, I found myself at home..They only differ in foods and fare, Cagayan has the cheapest rates when it comes to both, plus the people are kind and they aren't rude. The only thing you have to remember when you get into the city is refrain from using smartphones inside the public vehicle, they say there are ALOT of snatchers around, waiting for their victims to display their expensive phones(I even noticed people while inside a jeep, none of them are holding there phones).

We went to Lifestyle District, its a growing Night Spot opened last August 2013. It has Live Music Events and people usually go there to chill. We ate at Hollywood Diner and I swear I loved their Nachos!

Francesca's- a legacy restaurant is located in Marfoni Compound, near Chingkeetea house. The diner is filled with private antique collections  yet it is still very spacious. If you love History and art, do not miss walking towards the diner.Yesterdays memories, the Family's Tradition and Members as well as the City's past are all preserved within it.

After work a friend messaged me on facebook, inviting me for a coffee in a 5-star hotel in our city.Instantly agreed upon knowing the venue would be GreenLeaf hotel.  After scrutinizing every menu of every cafe's in the hotel we decided to just eat at the Mint Cafe  since we're already inside the hotel and the wi-fi is so fast. We were thinking of which place to occupy the poolside area or the dining area, and we decided to choose the second option. We ordered Greenleaf pizza, clubhouse burger and each preference of beverage. We were so cautious about everything even the service charge!We spent the night laughing about almost everything we said and do in the cafe.  

The kind crew served us with complimentary bread and unsalted butter to pair it with while waiting for our orders. After the foods are being served, each of us took our camera phones and gadgets to photographed each served edibles and shared it on instagram. Did even had our photos posted in sequential, with the same food being published right after it was laid on our table. We were so loud in a place where everyone is supposed to dine only, not to talk out loud and laugh real hard. I guess when you've got your friends with you its almost the usual thing to happen between your circle.

 I ordered a glass of green mango shake, my friends dont like how it taste when I asked them to take a zip on my shake but my taste buds telling me its the best shake that you could have! Fine dining experience it might have been but the rate of the foods in the hotel are cheap and worth the try!We never regret ordering the foods we ate because after devouring all of it, we end up saying "Im full!".

she's on facebook while my eyes are on the tube coz star movies is playing 500 DAYS OF SUMMER. though Ive already seen the film a number of times.

a photo kate took outside piyesta

 outside piyesta!The last time I went here was 12-27-11 a waiter confide to the supervisor about me and my crew he told me he cannot give us our order unless I showed him my ID! He asked for my I.D because in his eyes I AM A MINOR! thats quite disheartening though I find it a compliment but its quite off the hook. When I shared my dismay to my acquaintances they've told me there is this guy too at piyesta who is too sensitive, volatile and dumb. And when they've told me the physique of the waiter it really fits the guy who've manage to ask for my I.D!

these are the shakes we ordered @ piyesta, I do not intend to destroy the Piyesta KTV and resto bar but the shake has always been a sickening smoothie I do not blame the management but the person doing the mixture.

 kate, me and Niño @ Dunkin Donuts. The taste of shakes brought us here because we are, I mean I am in search of bottled water because I just cant take the taste of the shake. We never learned our lessons.

 my friends Demi and Niño

 I call this tic-tac-toe. any scientific term for this? My intuition told me this is a tic-tac-toe with a twist.haha. poor knowledge about these kinds of stuffs :|

 me, googling over the coins that are near the edges. To be honest, I thought that when you play this game and you managed to make all these coins fall, or somehow make some coins fall then you'd get all the coins that plummet into the hollow area of the machine. haha! I still haven't learned my lesson that all I will get from this game are tickets and not all the coins that would fall off. Im always and forever be a fool of this game.LOL!

kate, the celebrant is playing this racing game.
