 Headed back to "try" to crash before heading out for late dinner with my long lost JC girls. Missed them so much!

We decided to try the legendary Shiok maki at Koh Grill and Sushi Bar (?) (Im sorry guys, too lazy to google) 

Basically, there are two types of Shiok Maki. Shiok maki 1 & 2.

Shiok Maki 1 contains Ungai (eel), and Shiok Maki 2 contains tempura (fried prawn). Both are all wrapped with generous slices of salmon sashimi, drenched with their special sauce. Topped with ebiko roe. YUM

Verdict? I preferred the Shiok Maki 2 better as I liked the texture of it. A little crunchy on the inside, and chewy on the outside. Shiok Maki 1, was however, a little too sweet for me. The Special sauce on the Maki already carried a little sweetness on its own. Ungai sauce on top of that? nah, a little too much. 

Just a little, though :) Still YUM. 

I'd still go back again if it wasn't for the waiting time! We waited for 35 mins and only got seated at 9 pm :( 

Next up, Royal Pudding from Paris Baguette ($4.50)

Verdict: Not as good as what everyone made it out to be! It was a little too runny, in fact, its texture reminded me more of custard/melted custard than pudding!

Good for milk lovers as this is super milky! Pretty delish , if you don't mind it tasting like melted vanilla ice cream from Macdonald's.

One of my favorite songs lately, thank god for 8tracks.

Been so into such genres and even though it's unlike the usual, I'm enjoying it.

Baby steps, we're getting there, day by day.

Thank God, so thankful.

On a side note, finals are coming up in just 6 days, Philippines in another 13.

I can only be stronger.

Hang in there everyone !

Time, I need time. Trying to fit everyone and everything into my crazy schedule is really not easy.

But thank goodness I've been coping with the help of a few special someones and I am so grateful to their presence in my life. 

Remember, everything happens for a reason.

Even the ones that scarred, the ones that hurt you were there for a reason. 

They were there to remind you that you deserve so so much better, and i'm glad i'm starting to find my own definition of "better" now. 

Having these few special someones just makes going through each day so much more bearable.

Thank you daddy God for you, and you. 

xoxo,
