This month's theme from #BeTheBestYouPlanner is discovering one's potential. I'll be dedicating one post each month for my planner's monthly theme. One of my biggest discovering-your-potential-moment would be blogging, which never occurred to me when I was younger. Like most kids I dreamt of becoming a teacher or a nurse, when I was in grade school I wanted to be a scientist (I don't think it's nerdy). Going to high school was an entirely different thing I was constantly struggling on maintaining my grades because we have to in a science high school. This time I wanted to become a psychologist - understand human behavior - or take political science. On the contrary, I'm currently taking a business degree which is my third choice and I don't regret anything. I've already thought of a plan for my other choices.

On the side of blogging it was only in my third year that I got extremely interested because of Laureen Uy, I religiously read her blog but back then I wasn't really good in working with HTML (I still am not). So I was just following different blogs, and only during summer before I went to college that I finally decided to create my own. I wasn't really going for a fashion blog, I was thinking of creating an online diary where I could scream everything. Growing up I wasn't really the kikay type it's probably because I grew up with mostly boys, my cousins. I don't think I have a good fashion sense it's just that I know what works on me and what doesn't. I actually did a lot of self study to be able to learn different do's and dont's. My mom would sometimes tell me that it's already a sickness, because whenever I'm stressed I buy new clothes or I go through my closet just looking at what I have.

What we ordered? I had an eggs benedict which unfortunately didn't satisfy me. Not becasr of the portion but the bread is quite dry and something's missing from the flavor it should have. Mon had their spam rice meal which comes with garlic rice, two eggs and atchara (that didn't came), nothing special just the typical breakfast combination, who doesn't like spam? We were supposed to order desserts, unfortunately everything in their sweets category weren't available. So we ended up ordering pancakes, fave breakfast of all time, chocolate chips to be specific which comes with scrambled egg. We LOVE their pancakes one of the best I had (not sure with Mon), the chocolate chips were actually dark chocolates and the texture of the pancake itself is really fluffy and not dry. We were quite full, bit it didn't stop us from munching on the scrambled egg which was actually good it had a different flavor not just the usual scrambled egg.

The experience in a whole is good, the service is good. All staffs are very accommodating and polite (leave them some tip when you visit). Price range starts at Php 60- Php 160 for the meals and Php 30- Php 120 for the drinks.

So if you're looking for a new place to try pay them a visit!

I'd love to hear from you guys, what do you think?

Hi! I'm Jaira Alis, 18 years old, taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Marketing Management. My interest in blogs started when I was in my junior year, it was when I made my Sundays blog-updates-checking day. It was only summer before my first year in college when I had the guts to finally start my own which was in tumblr. Confidence has always been an issue to me, so after more than a year... I'm ending this hiatus. It was really more of a self battle to finally made a decision, I'll be so disappointed with myself if I still don't make this push through. So yeah... You'll be seeing posts related to fashion (I'm really awkward in front of the camera and most shots would probably be stolen), food (as much as I want to stay in shape I also like to eat everything I like which is the point of working out, aside from being healthy lol), travels (I'm not really the adventurous kind except when it's a place to eat that we'll be hunting), DIYs if there's any that I can share with you guys probably more on planning surprises - wingman living, and I don't know.. Advice? Anything goes really. I hope you'll like it and remember that I welcome suggestions and comments. And remember, you have to be odd to be number one!
