Rounding Up My Rainy Day Food Indulgence of the Week

The past few days leading to the weekend had been rainy with two typhoons visiting the country.  Its not all bad, especially with the classes suspended and work hours cut short.  I especially love to satisfy my food cravings during these times.  We're now more drawn to the warm comfort food to combat the wet and cold surroundings.  Here a li list of my food finds during the week.

Goto Bagnet
Where:  Goto Monster, P. Ocampo Steet cor. Primo Rivera Street,, Barangay La Paz, 245 Primo De Riveria, Makati, 1203 Metro Manila, Philippines
What's special about the place:
On top of the Goto, which is available 24 hours a day, they also serve Silog's in many variants.  They also have healthy drinks and desserts.  You can also try the Goto challenge, wherein you need to finish a huge bowl of Goto in 45 minutes for a shirt, and bragging rights.  If you don't finish, you would have to shell out its value in cash.

Goto Bagnet, best paired with their Crispy Tokwa

Bagnet Sinigang
Where:  8065 Bagnet, Estrella St. Baranggay San Antonio, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
What's special about the place:
Bagnet Sinigang is just one of the many ways they serve Bagnet.  But for a rainy evening, this is on top of my list, with its warm, sour broth and vegetables.  On our visit, I ordered myself Bagnet Sisig to go with it.

Banhmi
Where:  Bon Banhmit, Mayapis St. Baranggay San Antonio, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
What's special about the place:
who would have thought, that there's a small Vietnamese Sandwich Kiosk in my neighbourhood.  This is not exactly what you would look for on a rainy day, but, I chanced upon this while stuck in traffic on my way to President Quirino Avenue.  It's best eaten fresh out of the oven, otherwise your teeth will struggle the chewiness of the baguette.

Arroz Caldo
Where:  Cafe Adriatico, Remedios St. Malate, Metro Manila, Philippines
What's special about the place:
This is perfect, especially during late night cravings, since the cafe is open 24 hours a day.

Arroz Caldo paired with Tokwat Baboy

Munggo Soup and Crispy Pork Binagoongan
Where:  Romulo Cafe, Jupiter St. Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines
What's special about the place:
Here, you get to have the munggo soup topped with crunchy pork cracklings everyday of the week.  It is best paired with their Crispy Pork Binagoongan.  With its ambiance and posh interiors, its a best place to get stuck on a rainy evening.

To cap the week, nothing beats the dessert at Cafe Adriatico.  There are days when I would literally dream about a slice of their Chocolate Decadence.  I'm pairing it their House Red this time in celebration of the weekend!

Giving Networking Another Try with Hyper Program International Part 2

It has been 5 days after I signed up to join the Hyper Program International Direct sales Program.
I was advised that my account would be activated 5 days after.  So far, they have kept their end of the bargain and now I can see my gross earning grew from 0 to 487 in just a matter of hours!

Now i have to wait around 45 more days till it is ready for encashment.  So far, it's working according to what they promised.  I'm so excited for the coming days.

If you want to know more about how this program works and the opportunity to earn without selling, text me at 0908-8171826.

Check out the Part 1 of my blog.

Bon Banhmi, Something Vietnamese Around the Corner

Bon Banhmi, located along Mayapis St. San Antonio, Makati City

I thought I have tried everything around my neighbourhood in Barangay Palanan and San Antonio in Makati, that was until I found Bon Banhmi as one of the suggested food places in Foursquare.  Foursquare is a mobile application that recommends interesting places within your vicinity.

Its only 500 meters away from where I was, and in just minutes, I was in front of the store.  They only offer Banhmi, a Vietnamese sandwich made of baguette filled with vegetables and your choice of protein.

It's best enjoyed in the restaurant when its still warm and crispy.   I happened to bring home mine, and is a bit chewy when I finally get to sink my teeth into one.  Nevertheless, its a good healthy alternative to what I usually enjoy in the neighborhood.

You can watch them prepare the sandwich on site!

The different Banhmi variants at a very affordable price.

Giving Networking Another Try with Hyper Program International

This is not the first time that I got convinced on joining a network group.  I have previously joined a group that sells pre paid loads and another that sells juice that's supposed make you healthy, and was unsuccessful.  Although I got my money's worth of the products, It did not really produced the earnings I was expecting.  I wasn't able refer, which is the very nature of the system.

I know a lot of people who are actually successful with this type of business.  I have friends who resigned on their day jobs and took the task off selling full time.  It's just that, in spite of the fact that I'm into Marketing, I don't have the time nor the convincing skills like my recruiters.

I am one of those who were raised with the idea that earning money entails hard work.

This time, I got convinced into joining HPI, mainly because, the person who referred us was more skeptic than I am. Second, it's less complicated wherein you're not really forced to sell, and earn at the same time within 45 days.

The best way to understand it is through the picture below.

credits to the owner of the slide.

I would have to admit, I'm still very skeptic at the moment, and before I offer it to anyone, I would have to experience it for myself.  I'm now obsessed on learning the system, and it appears to be promising.  The hard work part is best explained in their modules 2 and 3 which I'm slowly getting a grasp on.

The 12th cycle earning is just too tempting.  You would be getting almost the same as the 50 Week Challenge if you put in cash weekly, but for this one, you only shell out 7,350php.  I could easily spend the same on weekends.

Join me as I document my journey with HPI.  Would I be successful or not?  We'll find out in the 45 days!

I'm taking this opportunity to invite all of you who wants to embark on this hyperian journey with me.
