Day by Day


"Dog is a man's bestfriend." This quote is really true. There was one time, when our dog, Maru (a tri-colored Lhasa Apso), went to my room, jumped over my bed and sleep beside me. Whenever I arrive from work, our dog will  wag his tail and run towards me. Maru is not just a FURiend but a member of our family too.

Anyway, before this blog focuses on our baby, I would like to share my experience at the first (and only - I guess) dog cafe in my country - Barkin' Blends!



The cafe is separated from the dog zone. So, this is the place where you can order food and drinks.



You can order cute cupcakes too!


The names of their food & drinks were named after the names of their dogs.






We ate pasta while waiting for our turn in the dog zone.

DOG ZONE: The staff will give you slippers and locker keys.

 

this cute fur ball just appeared from nowhere.

 

not in the mood to play...
 



 

remembering our Botchok... T_T


 

This French bulldog was really cute. He slept at my arms snoring...

 

I really wanted to have a huge dog because Maru is quite small


tired
 

Fell asleep beside a comfortable human
 
 

he was like: "why are my FURiends asleep?"

She reminds me of G-Dragon's Gaho
A Sharpei...that looks like a towel. 

 

To play or not to play?

 

Dead tired.

The cafe is open everyday except Tuesdays. You are allowed to play with over 30 dogs for about two (2) hours. You cannot bring your dog. Just go there at around lunchtime because the dogs are hyper during those times. We went there at around 7pm-9pm that's why the dogs dozed off.

Annyeong~ I am back again with another Manila Seoul Searching! It’s been a while since I had my last “seoul-searching” was about Café de Seoul. After escaping from my busy schedule – yes! After seven (7) months of being a couch-potato-at-home-and-learning-korean-at-KCC  I had the chance to post this new entry.

Cafes and restaurants are all over Manila and I’ve been looking for a place where I can relax and have a conversation with my friends and this cutesy café/restaurant caught my eye.

SHP Bibimbap Café and Restaurant is located at 980 P. Ocampo St. Malate, Manila near De La Salle – St. Benilde. 




Cakes, cupcakes, and refreshments.
I will try you soon. 




SHP  Spam Cheese Ramen (170.00 pesos)
It's just a ramen topped with cheese and spam but take note it's not really that spicy.




Strawberry Soda Ade (135.00 pesos)
My favorite drink. 


Blended Java Chip (170.00 pesos)



 

Blended Cookies and Cream (170.00 pesos)
to all Oreo lovers out there you should try this!




Cheese Kimbap (130.00 pesos)
Rice rolls with different fillings inside.




Bulgogi Bibimbap (210.00 pesos)
Korea's signature dish. A nutritious and delicious rice dish mixed with sweet gogi (meat) and fresh vegetables.



Korean restaurant will not be complete without kimchi.



Space-saving interior 
Yes. You can still eat upstairs.






Since I can't eat spicy food, bulgogi deopbap (210.00 pesos) is my style.
 

Chicken Mayo(180.00 pesos)
Rice topped with tender chicken and glazed with mayonnaise. 




A small space where you can study...




...it can also be a place for a sweet date~ (kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~)






A place where you can be alone and eat with a new friend...




I am really awed with the interior of this cafe-resto




When you feel down, you can always find some quotations that will make you smile.




Cute vintage figurines.




A cafe-resto where you can enjoy eating while sitting on the floor - Korean-style.




And of course, if you are not a fan of sitting on the floor, there is a place where you can sit and enjoy your meal.




One of my favorite spots
Cute teddy bears and rabbit~








This place is also a heaven for K-pop fans because it plays Korean songs. A playlist of Bigbang and EXO were played during my stay and it was nice. I was singing along~
Over-all experience was really great. I would really like to come back and try their cakes and other blended coffee. The price for the food is quite reasonable and you can share it with friends.

You can always visit SHP Bibimbap Cafe and Restaurant Facebook here for more details.

Last November 22, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Cultural Center organized an event to celebrate the 2014 Korean-ASEAN Commemorative Summit happening on December 11-12 in Busan, South Korea. The event was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Bonifacio High Street as the venue partner.

High street was full of Korean flags for the event. It was like I was in Korea again because the place was full of Koreans.  Before the opening ceremony, my friends and I checked out the different booths. The Korean Cultural Center booth made us tried Korean traditional outfit, hanbok. There were also food, books, k-pop merchandise, nail-art, Korean cosmetics, and travel booths. 

The main event kicked off at 5:00 P.M. with an outstanding Korean traditional percussion performance followed by a magnificent speech from Korea Ambassador to the Philippines, his Excellency Lee Hyuk. 

Dongrak Traditional Performing Arts Group performed a variety of percussion music such as the Korean traditional music of the farmers called pan duk and the Korean traditional percussion quartet called samulnori. 

Didim Dance Company gracefully danced the court dance called “Lotus in the Morning” and “Spring Snow” to the tune of the Korean traditional zither called gayageum.
 
Ensemble Yoo Joo Hee Microcosm was my favorite performance of the night. The said Ensemble played ABBA’s hit song “Dancing Queen” with Korean traditional instruments.  

Korean street dance group Gorilla Crews do b-boying and Jo Ju Hyun Dance Company danced a modern ballet performance. 

After the colorful and well-organized event, the event ended with a film showing of a Korean movie entitled Dancing Queen.
