Where's Yours?

The photo below which I saw from a friend's Facebook wall,  inspired me to write this blog entry.

Getting a tattoo, body art, ink (however you call it) is getting fashionable these days. Different people have different reasons for getting one, the permanent kind. It may signify an important phase in their life, say a death of a love one, a new found love, a birthday and the list goes on. And then, there are those who gets inked because it is a popular fashion accessory. I see people from different walks of life sporting a tattoo. Not only is it seen on prisoners or gang members or artists. Some students, doctors, teachers, lawyers have them as well.  

If only the process of tattoing is not that painful, I'd definitely get one. In fact, I already have a design in mind. But for someone who is afraid of needles/ getting injections, having a henna tattoo will suffice the need... It's not painful unlike the typical tattoo in which needles have to be punched through the skin. And since it's temporary, if ever I get tired of the design, I'll  just wait for two weeks or so, the tattoo will be completely erased from my skin.

Speaking of henna. I have two "body art" right now. I got it when I was in Boracay three days ago. One is located at my nape and the other at my right ankle.



Dinner at The Chocolate Kiss

It's been a while since the three of us (Mira, Shai and I)  had dinner together.

We decided to dine at The Chocolate Kiss Cafe which is located at the 2nd floor of the Bahay ng Alumni in UP Diliman. (They also have a branch in Tomas Morato). The restaurant is known for it's tasty pastries but they also serve pastas, filipino breakfasts, soups, sandwiches and others. If you want fine dining without the exorbitant prices, this is the place to go to.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. Proof is we were able to ask one of them to take pictures of us. They are also patient in waiting for orders. It took us almost 30minutes to decide on what to eat. Us girls, fickle minded, like that.

Shai and I had pasta. Mine is red pesto while hers is pesto penne. Mira had hickory smoked spareribs. We also ordered buffalo wings to share. Originally, we planned to order three different slices of cake  for dessert but they had big servings and we were so full after the meal. Good thing they have what they call the Chocolate Kiss Suite which is a cake sampler (small square slices as seen above - kahlua butter cake, dayap chiffon cake and devil's food cake).

 We were satisfied with our meal. The ambiance is warm and relaxing. We were able to catch up over dinner. It was a fun night. We went home happy.
