Halloween and Vegas Weekend

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Halloween and Vegas Weekend

I had a very memorable weekend with my in-laws… It was my first time to meet my sister-in-law Jaina and her husband Arnold from Virginia. And my first time celebrating Halloween in California. I\’m still in the process of editing pictures. Another blog post coming up…

Fast Food Fix

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Fast Food Fix

Lots of fast food joints are available in San Diego. Most of it are not exactly approved by Seff (hubby is fitness junkie period). From time to time he lets me experience a part of it.
The fast food industry here is quite diverse. I\’m happy for the variety so there\’s a lot to choose from (aside from my fave Subway sandwiches). I also noticed the humongous servings that they have! Which makes it sulit. Most of their drinks are refillable. A small or regular sized drink will do because you can refill it anytime. This is what I call  a well deserved cheat meal. 

1. El Pollo Loco

                                   

2. Chick – Fil – A – Specializes in chicken meals. I love them because they support the military. We got free breakfast from them!

                             

Chick Fil A Chick n Mini – Chicken in biscuit. Tastes good with their sauce ( I forgot the name)
Chicken, egg & cheese sunflower multigrain bagel for hubby.
   
3. Wendy\’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers – Even when I was in the PHL and SG, among the famous burger joints Wendy\’s has the best and juiciest burger in my opinion. Hubby told me that their meat are always fresh that\’s why he finds it expensive among the other burgers. 
I was thinking, how come Wendy\’s comes in a longer name/title. Hhhmmm…

I can\’t remember the name of this wrap. A healthy alternative from Wendy\’s aside from the salads.
Chili. Have to mix it with crushed crackers. It\’s delicious not too spicy.
4. Hotdog on a Stick 
I tried their cheese and its sinfully good.
The following are those that I wasn\’t able to photo because I was really hungry. 
6. Arby\’s

…known for slow roasted roast beef, turkey, and premium Angus beef sandwiches, sliced fresh every day. —-SOURCE

Roast Turkey and Swiss Wrap. Photo grabbed from their website.

7. Rubio\’s – First time I was here it was a Taco Tuesday. 
The Original Fish Taco
8. Stone Oven – Gourmet sandwiches and salads. 
Got this from their website.
I had their Santa Fe Hot Ham. Aside from the sandwich this includes a side item of your choice Gourmet salad, Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Potato Salad or Gourmet Potato Chips. So their serving are good for two people if they are diet conscious plus the drinks are refillable for sodas. 
If my brothers and sisters are here, they will surely love this food line-up.  
Till next my next foodie trip.

Duxton Road

In one of my photowalks for the Mid- Autumn Festival in Singapore 2012, I encountered Duxton Road in Tanjong Pagar. It\’s one hidden gem for dining that I wasn\’t able to experience at all. It\’s either I was too busy to remember or too stingy to give in. Pfft! So here I am checking my old photos sour-graping.

Anyway, there\’s always a next time and I\’m posting so everybody can come and see what it has offer.

There\’s this quaint little bookstore along the way called Littered With Books. The cozy two storey high haven makes me want to stay there the whole day and just read books!
                  
                    d3
At the time that I was there, they don\’t allow photo-taking. According to customers who reviewed them in yelp. Their book prices are cheaper than other bookstores that gives you reason to come back over and over. The staff are very courteous and helpful.

                                        d5
After exiting the store, I was doing some shots when this guy just came out of nowhere. He asked for to be photographed, quickly said thanks and walked off.

They appear to be looking for something…hhmmmm
                   d11
Further into the streets are some offices

I think Clarence worked here, if my memory serves me right.

Bistros, pub, winery…I see most of the people in this side of town are yuppies. 
The former Berjaya Hotel now called The Duxton for they have changed management. I like the rustic charm of it. Who would have now a shop house can effectively be a hotel structure.

An architectural heritage
Too bad I wasn\’t able to come back at all. Duxton Hill has also an interesting wine and dine vibe. This place is excellent for after work hours chillaxing and hang-out.

Till next time

OAWSP: Stamped

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on OAWSP: Stamped

I used Camera 360 app for this one. Under the effects category of Art —> Stamped—>Sweet. I just can\’t afford yet to get the paid apps that has wonderful painting and sketch features. 
I haven\’t been taking self-portraits in a while maybe because I\’ve outgrown the \”selfie\” stage of my life. I want to evolve creatively (wow! mature concerns?! LOL). Right now I\’m trying to learn how to do lettering and watercolor it nicely. I\’m thinking on taking some knitting class and doing some crochet projects again. A lot of creative ideas has been churning in my head. I hope I can handle it gracefully. Not to mention I still have an upcoming licensure exams.
