CELEBRATING AT "SIP CAFE" _{It's my 2nd MontHIVErsary! 🥂 And my sister got a new job, too. Yay! 💖}

Need a bowl of Korean meaty goodness? Worry no more, Sip Cafe got you covered! And while you're at it, have some cold latte to pair your cravings with.💕

Welcome to "Sip Cafe"!💛

It's a cutie corner, don't you think?💖

Minimalistic vibes✨

I dig their simple fresh clean interior.❤️

"Sip CAFE"☕️

The area is open for Dine-In so there is no air conditioning.

It was gloomy last Saturday which is why the outside looks pretty cloudy.

MENU ALERT 👀

MENU ALERT 👀

My brunch looks soooooo good!🤤 I did not expect that the serving is A LOT so I was pretty upset when I wasn't able to finish the entire bowl because I was just halfway through and I felt full already.

I AM SO HAPPY! CHEERS TO MY SECOND montHIVErsary omg~! 💃

My Kim-Gogi-Bap looks good and tastes even better.😍 The beef bulgogi was well-marinated I love its smokin' flavour!💓

This is kimchi fried rice topped with sauteed vegetables, beef bulgogi and fried egg. It costs 295PHP.

This is their Sip Signature Latte. As a coffee lover, this one did not disappoint. 😘

Sip Signature Latte costs 175 PHP.

My brunch with my coffee for the day-- perfect combo😍

This is their croffle which was ordered by Sway. This is croissant waffle topped with house-made gelato and caramelized banana on the side. This is 180PHP.

Matchy-matchy OOTD with the sizzum @swaycanete 👯 #twinning

We also celebrated how Sway got a new job, yay!💞

MY THOUGHTS ON "SIP CAFE"

This little cafe is found in Capitol, near Cebu Doctor's Hospital. I appreciate their minimalist interiors. Their kimchi fried rice was flavoury. The sauteed vegetables-- togi, mushrooms and "green leafy things" tasted quite not bad. I LOVED THE BEEF BULGOGI because of its "smokin" flavour. I LOVED THE KIMCHI because it has a strong spicy kick😍 and I appreciate it! Their latte was creamy and only a bit bitter. The caramel drizzle made it sweeter. As for the space, it is a bit small. It is a good place to visit when you do not want a crowd. The crew's friendly and quick to serve, too. Overall, I enjoyed my food and coffee and I loved the vibes of this cute small cafe.💖

IT HAS BEEN A LOOOONG TIME SINCE I WENT OUT SHOPPING. _{We took advantage of the "Crazy Sale" going on.}

---

TWINNING OOTDs with the sizzum: Streetstyle tattered denim overalls paired with cropped tops and sneakers in dirty white😁

Here's a selfie while we're at it. Okay BRB, shopping...

A photo with my previous student who I also consider my younger sister.😘✌️

HERE ARE THE THINGS I SHOPPED FOR💃

H&M Black Boots | When I was in college, I used to wish I could buy boots like the ones the magazine cover models wear. I don't know why I have always been fascinated with wearing boots even when IT IS SO, SO HOT here in the Philippines. This pair is my second H&M Boots already.😅😍

Terranova Leather Black Dress | I used to envy bloggers who wear this kind of cloth, so I was really glad it was on sale because by then I don't get to regret buying such a "hot-packed" dress not perfect for our humid weather. I can justify it by saying, "Nah, it's fine, it was on sale anyway" LOL.😅

I HAVE A FASCINATION FOR SOCKS HUHU😭My eyes formed hearts as soon as I saw that these H&M cotton socks were on sale! I immediately added them to my shopping cart.😍

I kinda took advantage of the "Beauty sale".😁 The last time I bought "beauty" stuff in a physical store was around January 2020 I guess. It felt so good to be able to purchase and go shopping yeyyy for small victories in life😅

💕 IT IS A SUNDAY FUN-DAY! 🙌

WHAT I WORE FOR THE WEEKEND _{OOTD shots for Saturday and Sunday😁😅}

Last July 3rd, 2021, I signed up, and I posted my Introduction on the fourth of July. In a span of two months, I am so happy with my personal growth here in Hive. I am beyond blessed to belong in a community of encouraging, warm and passionate people who push me to become a better version of myself and it humbles me in such a powerful way.😭😍 And honestly speaking, Hive has now been one of the many things I look forward to doing every day. I want to learn more about content creation and financial management as well so that the future me will thank the current me for being able to be a "financially savvy" person.
As I stated in my previous post on my first-month celeb, Hive has been a blessing and an answered prayer for me! I blogged way back in 2014 and stopped rather abruptly around 2017. Last year when the pandemic hit, I wanted to blog again because I have so much stuff I wrote in my journal and I want to share them with the rest of the world. The Universe gave me Hive, God gave this opportunity to me. I will do my best to keep this answered prayer of mine. 🎊🎉 I CANNOT WAIT TO CREATE MORE CONTENT HERE AND GROW ALONGSIDE WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY~!🤞🙏🙌

I AM SOOOO HAPPY, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN TWO SWEET MONTHS FOR ME ON HIVE! 😍💃🖤

‘Til the next post, hivers! Remember that you are loved beyond borders and beyond time & space. Okay? Okay. 💛❤️

Ciao for now! 🤗🥰
