Cebu's best ngohiong -source-
This yummy treat is famous for its unique taste. The Chinese ngohiong is one of Cebu's most sought after food  next to siomai.. It's like a spring roll with veggies and a bit of meat in it and has crispy wrapper which makes it even more exciting to eat.. lol The best ngohiong can be found near USC Main, my school. :)) It's a hole-in-a-wall dining place and they got lots of patrons. Students and workers would flock to the place especially on weekdays during lunch time.. Each ngohiong costs around PhP7.00 ($0.17) so you'll only have to spend less and have your rumbling tummy satisfied if not bloated. lol I can normally finish 3 pieces of it paired with 3 or 4 puso (hanging rice - rice cooked in coconut leaves).

Blue Butterfly Necklace from ajoeynamedrootoo

As I was blog hopping last month, I came across The Frosted Button - now known as the Sunshine blog and read that she was having her fabulous 500 followers giveaway. She hosted 8 items sponsored by her featured Etsy shops. I think I entered 3 or 4 out of the 8 items, and I won the Day 3 Prize - a beautiful handmade blue butterfly necklace from ajoeynamedrootoo. I was so thrilled when I found out that I won. It was actually my first time to win in a blog giveaway and I just went, uhhh, crazy! lol
isn't it beautiful? :)

Thank you, ladies! :) I LOVE my necklace very much! It's perfect with my white shirts! :)

siomai a.k.a dumplings -source-
Today I had lunch with my best friend..We ate "siomai".. It's sooo good that we just can't get enough of it.. It's usually steamed but it may also be fried.. We prefer it steamed though..haha The sauce is very spicy and it's best if kalamansi (lime) juice is mixed with it.. You can just dip the siomai in soy sauce if you don't like the spicy sauce.. Each siomai costs PhP6.50 or $0.16.

OK, i'm a bored, lazy human being at the moment! I gotta have something to do!

I was blog hopping last night and I came by this new blogger who features random pictures that she likes and finds in the intricate world of the internet.. I found the pictures cute and they somehow made my cold stressful day better! I got inspired and so I am thinking of doing the same.. I'll be using the title "Daily Pic -insertdatehere-" for each pic feature I make and I may or may not write something in each post.. I know it's called 'daily pic' but I cannot assure you that I'll be posting pictures everyday.. BUT, I'll try my very best to make it.. So, I'll be starting it off today.. Here it goes... :)

Raining cats and dogs! -source-
It's been raining a lot lately and I don't really like it especially when I'm in school or away from home.. Who would want to get drenched in their school uniform? That'd really suck! I prefer to be at home when it rains, with a cup of coffee or warm chocomilk and a good book on hand.. Hmmm.. So today, I'm featuring a picture of, uhh, rain! :))

How about you? How was your day?

Deathly Hallows pt2 with bestie

me with bestfriend Aix
My friends and family all know that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan -- since 2002, 6th grade. I can vividly remember the times back in high school when my friends and I would gather round to excitedly talk about the latest HP news. We would all be filled with giggles and so much laughter, the hard-to-wipe smiles on our faces, the daydreams we shared. Ahhhh, those were the days.

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
I am very much thankful to JK Rowling for creating the HP world. Honestly, if it wasn't because of the series, I wouldn't be a book-lover. I wouldn't have had books scattered in my bedroom. I wouldn't be able to relate so much with friends. I wouldn't have thought that there'd be a whole new magical world that I'd dream to live in. Thank you so much, Ms. Rowling! It was and will always be a great journey with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

L-R: Daniel Radcliffe, J.K. Rowling, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson
Last Tuesday, my bestfriend and I went to watch the last movie of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. We've been waiting for this for so long that we got so excited to go to the cinema. Although there were a lot of changes that were made on the movie, we still enjoyed it A LOT! We can't keep ourselves from giggling. We found Helena Bonham Carter an excellent actress. And the three main stars - Daniel Racliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint - were impressive. Lord Voldemort, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, was impressive too. Everyone on the cast were perfect for their roles. Congratulations to everyone behind the HP movies! It has been a great journey with you too. =)

Have you watched the movie too? How'd you find it? Bet you loved it too! =)
