Happy Hour: Vol. 3

Hi everyone! It's time for Happy Hour! :) It's already October in a few days. Can you guys believe it?! Life lately has been a bit... blah. There have been a couple of long weekends (this weekend, actually) and I'm just bummed that I didn't even get to do or go somewhere new. It just makes me feel like I wasted time. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, just like what I mentioned before, there is always something to be glad about in any situation. It's currently 10:25 PM so here are the 10 things that made me happy lately:

1. Finally How to Get Away With Murder S02 EP01 is out! I watched it last Friday and I'm currently watching it again. Yes, I'm a fan. The last scene though...
2. Watched a couple of episodes of Revenge Season 1 today. AAHHH! I recommend you guys to watch it as well!
3. Got my first job order through Upwork today. I decided to try out Upwork since I have a few hours to spare so why not use it to have additional income, right?
4. Downloaded new fonts today. Thanks, Pinterest!
5. Discovered new blogs today. It's nice to find blogs which keeps you inspired.
6. Midnight snacks. Oops.
7. Catching up with a friend you haven't seen for quite some time.
8. Sam Concepcion's impersonation of Janet Jackson. Hahaha! I'm sorry, he's so good I just had to include it here.
9. Meeting new people and sharing ideas with them.
10. Learning how to trust and leave it all up to Him.

Basically, those are the things that made me happy lately! What about you guys? What made you happy recently?

Happy Hour: Vol. 2

Happy Hour

It's 9:00 PM! Here are the 9 things that made me happy today:

1. Had a looong sleep today!

2. Got to watch The Last Song. I haven't seen the movie prior today (don't judge). It's pretty much a feel-good movie.

3. Left over pizza + movie = good times!

4. Got to finish one page in my Adult Coloring book. I've had it for more than a month now but haven't had the chance to allot some time for it lately.

5. Ate watermelons today. One of my favorite fruits!

6. I've been reading a lot of tweets of people complaining about the heavy rain. Thankful that at least it's not raining in our place.

7. Meaningful and inspirational conversations with friends.

8. Life - sometimes we tend to forget how lucky we are to simply be alive. Each and everyday we have to be happy and thankful that God gave us another day.

9. Aside from my life, I'm happy that my loved ones are alive. Might sound cliche but truly this is one of the things that we take for granted. This is one of the things that I've been reminded of recently.

Restaurant of the Week: Cow Bell

food

Okay, I admit. I love food but I am no chef. I just love to eat (who doesn't, right?). I also like discovering new restaurants. So, I decided to dedicate one post per week for a food review. For this week, I tried Cow Bell which is located at Jupiter Street, Makati City. The place isn't really hard to find. It's located below Top Grill, a karaoke place I used to visit with my former officemates.

When we arrived at Cow Bell, there were only two tables occupied - on a Friday night! I'm not really sure if a lot of people opted not to go out that day since they got tired of the crazy traffic the past few days (the traffic that Friday wasn't as wild as I expected it to be) or not a lot of people eat at Cow Bell. The interiors of the place isn't intimidating (especially since it's a steak cafe) with quirky quotes plastered on the walls.

Cow Bell's menu has a variety of choices. It offers starters, pasta, sandwiches, steak, fish and chips, etc. I wanted to try out the Roasted Bone Marrow but it sounded so sinful I had to stop myself from giving in! Haha!

Molasses Brined Pork Chops (Php250.00)

Steak and Chips (Php390.00)

My personal favorite - Chicken Wings with Rootbeer Hickory sauce with rice! (Php190.00)

I don't know if it's just me but their steak isn't really something that would make me want to go back and have some more. Maybe I expected too much since it's a steak cafe after all. The price of the steak does not match well with the quality of the steak (Disclaimer: I'm no expert when it comes to steak. I just compared it with the other steaks that I've tried with more or less the same price range).

However, I love the sauce of their Chicken Wings!! That would be my favorite among the three. The taste of the sauce is just right! If I'm craving for chicken wings, Cow Bell would probably be one of my go-to places.

All in all, my Cow Bell experience is a 7 out of 10.

Happy Hour: Vol. 1

Happy Hour

In my attempt to be more active when it comes to blogging, I decided to start a series (is that the right term? Haha!) entitled, "Happy Hour". Basically, I'll list down things that made me happy throughout the day. The number of items that I'll list down will depend on what time it is. For example, if it's already 6:00 PM, I'll list down 6 things that made me happy on that day.

This series aim to spread happiness and help each and everyone of us realize that there is always something to be thankful for in any situation. We just need to open our eyes and our hearts for us to see the good things that are happening to us. This would also help us appreciate the little things and in effect be content and happy with our everyday lives.

So, since it's 8:00 PM, here are the top 8 things that made me happy today:

1. Had shrimp for lunch today. I love shrimp!
2. Was able to leave Megamall right before the crazy EDSA traffic.
3. Tried Iced Belgian White Chocolate at Blendz Coffee, Megamall for the first time. I've passed by that coffee shop for a dozen times already but never really had the urge to try it. Turns out, their Iced Belgian White Chocolate is actually good!
4. Free coffee, iced tea and wi-fi. Thanks, SM Prestige! You saved me hundreds. Haha!
5. Booked meetings.
6. Prayer requests.
7. Downloaded a lot of free fonts. Yay!

8. Came up with this "happy hour" idea! :)

What about you? What are the things that made you happy today? Let me know through the comment box below. I'll be glad to read your Happy Hour series! :)
