Choco L’Art

AJ Jorge August 22nd, 2008

cakePen brought me to this specialty chocolate boutique in Sydney called Choco L’Art. As we all know, Pen is such an aficionado of anything chocolate (well, goya and the like is not on her top of the list). It is literally a haven for people with sweet tooth. And the chocs do taste yummy!

Pen ordered a cup of hot chocolate for me, which was a welcome during those cold days, and a serving of tiny chocolate ice cream cake. It was such a delight savoring each tiny bite.

The presentation is not to be missed. I had a tall cup of hot chocolate with milky foam on top. The chocolate in it (as I was told) was melted and was on the bottom of the cup so I have to mix it at once or it will harden. We had the tiny cake which we shared. It was enough for us that time as we just finished lunch somewhere. And that piece of kisses-like chocolate was free I think.

That swishy line of chocolate covering the strawberry hardened after some time so we have to scrape it off the plate. Sayang naman kasi kung iwan namin! Durog-durog na tuloy yung presentation after we left.

Me and Pen enjoying the desert. Sino mas nag-eenjoy? Hehe.

See that dress? Dangnammit, that’s our colour motif for December! ;P Watch out for our wedding website (I’m spoiling the surprise if it was meant to be one) coming soon!

Sexy track: Muse’s Supermassive Black Hole

penny August 19th, 2008

This song is currently serving its purpose as caffeine to mine ears in my morning commute to Uni. Full blast on the ears, nothing like it.

Gotta love Muse.

Listen up! http://www.last.fm/user/penreyes. Would love to see recommendations for music!

Hundred Push ups Challenge

AJ Jorge August 18th, 2008

I started my Hundred Push ups Challenge this morning. The idea is, after 6 weeks of following the program, you will be able to do 100 consecutive push ups!

Pecs That’s a tall order for me. I can’t remember if I can even manage to make 50 during my CAT/ROTC years. So, if I follow this program diligently, hopefully I can do a hundred in six weeks time.

My pectoral muscles are hurting right now. Nabigla ata. But I did followed the program and did a ‘preliminary’ pushups last saturday. I was able to do “7-7-5-4-Max” sets this morning. Next Wednesday na uli ang Day2. Rest day tomorrow.

Flight back to SG

AJ Jorge August 13th, 2008

I flew back to SG via British Airways. Di gano kagandahan yung service nila unlike Qantas (though medyo katakot lumipad with Qantas last few weeks gawa ng mga technical malfunctions ng planes nila).

So ayun, sa BA ako nasakay. May isang meal lang at tapos isang set pa uli ng light snacks.

Some Pictures

AJ Jorge August 8th, 2008

Unless I can buy my own laptop, I’ll have to resign myself into handpicking one or two favorite shots per day during my stay here in Sydney.
What’s the relationship of laptop and pictures? The secret of great photographers is that they don’t show their raw images or straight out of the cam pictures. They always do processing for their pictures. And my laptop cannot handle the bulk of it. Just one or two pictures for now will do.

St. Mary’s Cathedral

St. Mary's Cathedral

One of the best churches we’ve been into. We heard mass here last August 2 in time for Pen’s bday. The 6PM mass was like a Simbang Gabi in the Philippines. It was already dark and cold! (cue “malamig ang simoy ng hangin…”). Pen and I were both freezing inside the church. I was only wearing a black long sleeves polo while Pen was I think on a 4 layers of clothing.
