So, I was Craving For Bagnet


So, I was craving for bagnet and found myself succumbing to this deep fried crispy pork belly one Friday afternoon. This dish originated from Vigan, the place where Hispanic towns and European architecture were carefully preserved. A place I want to visit really soon. :) Anyway, I was always curious about bagnet and when a friend of mine mentioned about this great bagnet place in Makati, I instantly asked Mr. Google about it. The place is 8065 Bagnet situated in Estrella St. San Antonio Village Makati City. According to my research, the restaurant was owned by Kitchie Nadal's (Filipino singer & songwriter- for those who dont know her) brother. Aside from their scrumptious bagnet, they also offer great cinamon roll which we really enjoyed. Although, I guess the cinammon roll would taste better if it was eaten there, since I bought mine for take out. But still, it tastes heavenly.

There are several variety of bagnet to choose from at 8065 Bagnet. I ordered Spicy Ginataang Bagnet while my officemates ordered, sisig bagnet, dinuguang bagnet, kare kareng banget and binagoongang bagnet. I tasted them all! haha! I think my favorite is sisig bagnet, although all of them are delectable. My comment on their spicy ginataang bagnet is that I wish they make it spicier and the gata a little less sweeter. Nevertheless, I'd still recommend it. :) Will I go back to this place? Definitely a BIG YES! And next time, I'll make sure I have all the time in the world to enjoy it. The first time I was there, I guess it only took me 10 minutes to finish my food as we were already late for work. Till' my next visit! :)  BTW, it's their spicy ginataang bagnet and dinuguang bagnet on the picture.

Break from Ennui


The main reason why this blog was created is to break free from boredom. Now that is exactly what I’m doing. Glad I found something entertaining to do here in the office and that is to answer this very easy Spot the difference game from Finance and Accounting dept. Although it only costs me about 2 minutes to find them all, the interruption was very welcoming. Now I’m stuck here again bored big time! So what to do? I really have no idea! Can’t check my facebook and twitter account since social networking sites are blocked here in the office. Talk about KILL JOY!!  The only thing I can think of to wake up from this lethargic state is to drink some coffee.  But too bad, I’m too lazy to stand and fix myself a cup of coffee. I often wonder what other people do when they are bored??? Since I’m too sluggish, I can’t even think of anything to write in here. So now you know what happens next……  Another unfinished post!  Hahaha! Till next time! J

XGF of Sponge Cola -

Interesting song and yes it happens in real life. I'm not really a huge fan of Sponge Cola, but I do love a couple of their songs. My sudden interest and love for this band was due to a friend's influence and I might say, I'm glad he did. Anyway, the release of this song was just on time as I was suffering with the same dilemma. Although we are not yet a couple and just starting to get to know each other,  but still, there is a big chance that a romantic relationship might build up. Anyway, it is indeed AWKWARD, especially if the person is a good friend.

Now, let's talk about the song itself. Funny lyrics as always with Chito Miranda. Short but meaningful song. :) Kudos to Sponge Cola and Chito Miranda! Another hit! Hope to see you again at 70's Bistro. :)

(Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
(Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
Wala pa ‘tong lyrics kase hindi pa ‘to nasusulutan
Kahit na ano namang ilagay mo papasok yan
Meron lang akong surprise sa’yo at ayokong mawala ang friendship mo
Tsong ano namang ikagagalit ko (Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Teka lang medyo awkward ‘to
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Sa’yo na lang ex-girlfriend ko
Let me recollect my thoughts, please
Pano nga ba ‘to nangyari
Sa dami ng isda sa dagat, bakit siya pa ang ‘yong napili
Pare teka lang hindi siya fish
That is just a figure of speech
I resent kasi your idiom (Wo-oh-oh-oh, wo-oh-oh-oh)
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Teka lang medyo awkward ‘to
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Sa’yo na lang ex-girlfriend ko
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Teka lang medyo awkward ‘to
Girlfriend mo na’ng ex-girlfriend ko
E di sa’yo na lang ex-girlfriend ko
SeƱorita, Posporo, La Mesa Dam
Random Spanish words like Antonio Banderas
Met up with her in cantina (It's about you girl)
Had 6 to 9 margaritas
I was there shorty had a familiar face
And it was on his neck
His hands are on her neck
His hands on her waist
Trying to restrain her but no
She was having her way and
She took a ride on his spaceship on the basement
Wait
Blame it on the alcohol
Things in the dam was so vulnerable and out of control
She could have been anyone's ex
It was random y'all
But it's a small world  after all
And right now, well..
It's about you girl, It's just about you girl
It's about you girl, It's just about you girl
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Teka lang medyo awkward ‘to
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Sa’yo na lang ex-girlfriend ko
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Teka lang medyo awkward ‘to
Girlfriend ko na’ng ex-girlfriend mo
Sa’yo na lang ex-girlfriend ko
Maybe one day we’ll be friends again
‘Til then I’ll be missing you my friend

Sunday Morning

The first line of this song perfectly describes the weather today. "Sunday morning rain is falling". So what do you usually do in this kind of weather? It definitely feels good to share some skin and cuddle under the covers. :) Time to relax and spend some time with family and loved ones. Here's the lyrics so you can sing along while chilling in this cold rainy Sunday. Enjoy and have a great weekend!


SUNDAY MORNING
by Maroon 5


Sunday morning, rain is falling

Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you



[Chorus]
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave



Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends



[Chorus]



But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, "Someday it'll bring me back to you."
Find a way to bring myself back home to you



[Chorus]

P.S.
It's Sunday here, but the date above tells otherwise. :)
