Troisième

Je suis de retour!:)

   When you're talking about Paris, there is NO WAY you won't think of the Eiffel Tower. Its arguably the most famous landmark in the City of Love. It is actually the first thing that comes into my mind BUT this cutiepie food is a close second! Ladies and Gents, meet the star of this post: MACARON.:)


   A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food colouring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from the Italian word maccarone or maccherone but France is its place of origin.

   I've seen macarons in lots of blog posts before, but I didn't knew it was available here in the Philippines. Thanks to a friend of mine who likes to try different foods, I first tasted this pretty little thing last April in Glorietta:)Look!:)


  These are Bizu's version of macarons. I only bought one because its expensiveT_________T But its really good!! I'm really biased in anything sweets so I think its worth it.:) Sadly though, there is no Bizu branch near my location, so that was the last time I bought from Bizu:(

Pistachio flavor. YUM!:)

   But thanks again to my friend, she found out that The French Baker now sells macarons too!*throws confetti* Its cheaper and slightly bigger so we're really happy! There's 4 flavors but PISTACHIO is really, really good! You won't regret trying it:)

Here are other photos. Prepare to salivate!:P


Craving already?! hahaha:P

     On a more serious note, I LOVE it that they're selling it here in my country. Makes me feel that Paris is closer to home




         A super-duper thank you to my friend Dedeth for the photos! And yes, she's also the one who encouraged me to try macarons♥ Please visit her blog! She takes awesome food pictures!:) http://dedethmojica.tumblr.com/


That's it! Thank you for reading my blog:)


Jusqu'à la prochaine fois!

Deuxième


Bonsoir from the Philippines!:)

   Hello guys! This post will feature my humble collection of anything Paris:"> Since it has been a long-time dream of mine to go in the City of Lights and I cannot be there as of this moment, I just comforted myself with cutesy Paris stuffs like these:D 


  DYARAN!!! These are memo pads, little notebooks and sticky notes that I NEVER use. I don't have the heart to use them, they are too cuteT____T hahaha! :))))))


Here are my other stuff and how I got them:)



  My Paris Luggage! I used it when we went to Singapore last year.. I LOVE it because my mom and brother bought this for my birthday so this will always be a favorite of mine..:D



   Paris sticker set and sticking memo! These was given by a dear friend last Christmas..:) I appreciate it so much because she also collects Paris stuff but she opted to give these to me. Hahaha!:D Honestly, out of all the items I have, the sticker set is the one that is really TEMPTING to use. The stickers are ASDFGHJKL pretty! I'm really having a hard time controlling myself.T___T But I must stay firm! I won't use it!!*for now*


   
   I'm really in love with this one!! Its an accordion pocket that I bought at a bookstore. I love it because I believe its a rare find:) It is not expensive but its really, really pretty!! Definitely one of my fave 


Its prettier in black and white!:">

   Paris wall clock! I got this as a surprise from my family I actually saw and wanted to buy this a long time ago but my mom said its too pricey for a clock, so I let it pass. But after a week my brother said they have a surprise for me and showed me this!! Sweet isn't it?:">



   Paris pin! A friend also gave this to me:) She said she found this lying around her dorm and she thought of me that's why she gave it to me. Sweet!! Actually, my friends always call my attention whenever they see anything Paris. I'm glad that they do that, but I would be HAPPIER if they actually buy it for me:P hahaha kidding! I love my friends 



   My latest acquisition! Thanks to my mom for the money!:* hahaha I like it because its blue and of course, its Paris 



   This is not mine but I LOVE it so much!! Its my godmother's Eiffel tower miniature given by her cousin working in Paris. Whenever I go to her house, I always wish she would just give this to meT_____T Oh well, I'll just buy the REAL Eiffel Tower. LOL. :P



   That's it! If you guys want to donate items like these, please just contact me through this blog. I promise I will take care of it very well. HAHAHA KIDDING!:)


Merci!!!!!:)

Première

Bonjour!:)


   This is a blog of a girl who dreams of being in yup, PARIS *insert giddy smile here*. For starters, let's have a background about this awesome place:)
from www.good-wallpapers.com

   Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Ile-de-France region. Paris is known for its famous buildings and works of art, its chic fashion scene and its modern literary, artistic, and intellectual ideals, and is a must for anyone wishing to experience the best of both contemporary and age old European culture.
(www.planeteye.com, www.wikipedia.org)

   My dream to Paris started way back in high school. I was crazy for anything vintage and Europe is prolly the best vintage-y place on earth. Out of all the European countries, I BADLY want to go in Paris. No words can explain how GORGEOUS this place seems to be. I've actually watched countless of documentaries and tour videos about the place and it only strengthens my desire to fulfill this dream of mine. In a few years time, I hope and pray I'll be updating this blog in a french restaurant, eating macarons while looking at the amazing Eiffel Tower.*imagine me saying this while I have a dreamy look on my face* Everyone, please pray for my dream to come true!haha:P

     That's it for my first post! Thank you to the people who will spare time to read this!!If one of you shares this dream, I believe we'll see each other there. In God's time:) 

Au Revoir! Bonne journée on your side of the world:*
