Victoria de Manila II :Top Reason to Love Manila even more

Manila girl, that’s who I am, I was born, grew up in Manila until I got married and settle in Pasig, Even though I was not anymore living in Manila, I make sure that I update myself as to what is happening in Manila. Being updated means I want to know what is happening in Manila, cultural, political or structural wise. I was happy when I got invited in an event where they launched the newest structural in Manila and that’s Victoria de Manila II.

In the cast are brilliant young Filipino sopranos Fame Flores and Bianca Camille Lopez, who will alternate in characterizing the difficult main role of a water sprite (serena) named Rusalka who aspires to love a human being but, in the process, was rejected and who, therefore, learnt the hazards of loving a fleshly creature that a human being is.

My Organic Menu and Experience at Potts Point Cafe

Turning to a healthy buff has become my goal since my mom pass away. I value what I eat since it will affect my body.  Going around the metro and experiencing different cuisine has been my passion but then I become conscious on what I consume.  Not complaining or anything on what I could say a privileged that I have since I become a blogger but I kind of limit myself on some of the dishes that I sample.   I love to eat and I really eat a lot, but now a day, I limit myself to salad and fish and chicken. I go for low fat and less sodium kind of dishes.

Just imagine a food blogger that’s becoming choosy on her food, but this is what I can say “there’s always a gold at the end of the rainbow”.  Recently, the people behind Swensen’s Philippines and The Old Spaghetti House opened Potts Point Cafe.  Pott Point Cafe is located at the 2^nd Floor Veranda of Eastwood Mall (where Swensen’s was located), the restaurant is for those people that value good food and good ambiance plus a whole lot more. What great about Potts Point Cafe is; they served organic food and that means gold for me. The dishes from Potts Point Cafe were made from chemical and pesticide free ingredients and that’s hallelujah for me.

The cafe is chic and homey and most of the displays are books and magazine which I think we can borrow while waiting for our order.  A huge blackboard and great lighting surely attract my attention.  The utensils place on the table also catch my attention, simple set up but it surely serves its purpose.
