The Foodie Couple: Mama Chit's

Have I mentioned that the husband is the sweetest person I know? Perhaps I did mention it already. Andaming beses na ata. Well, you see, He really knows how to push my buttons and he makes me feel important and so loved.

I have mentioned in my previous posts that I have been preparing for my interview for promotion scheduled on Mar 13-15. Our plan was for me to leave Mindoro on Mar 9 so I can have the weekend to run through the 3.2km pft route and then finalize everything to include my uniforms which should have been full of tailor's chalk by then.

Errrrrrr  and I had to pick up my especially made shoes from the Gibson pagawaan at Marikina pa.

But because of some unforeseen events, I left Mindoro on March 10. The husband fetched me at cubao and we then picked up my shoes.

Thanks to Kuya Ver of Gibson's Marikina for making my pumps. To tell you, I had to ask Kuya Ver to make a smaller size of this pair of shoes kasi my feet are so small! 

who say's pumps are boring
I was happy with the result. According to Kuya Ver, they seldom make this pumps because most of their clients are from the PNP and they wear a different design of pumps. Good thing that he agreed to make a size 6 1 /2 size of this design for me.

On our way home, I mentioned to the husband that when I was researching how to get to Gibson's Marikina, I bumped on some foodie sites featuring nice kainan's in Marikina. 

He agreed (thanks dear) that we eat out na lang. Google map is a great help but it doesn't give you everything especially if you are not familiar with the place. We almost got lost.

After rechecking our maps and referred to ever reliable map-agtatanungan bystanders, we finally found Mama Chit's. 

We didn't order immediately because we got caught up with the ambiance.

It's a perfect place for vintage lovers. You can find a lot of memorabilia from the 70's to the 90's. The owner must have been so into these era.

I am a pasta person but this one is different. It's very yummy and you can really taste the mixture of oils and herbs. 

I am very happy with our first eat out experience. Mall food are getting boring and I think they're expensive too! I think we will now prefer to be adventurous foodies. Adventure talaga kasi we do not know how to reach our destination.haha 

For now, I have a short list of resto I want to visit. I'm so excited. Thank you, husband for spoiling me.:)

Subic Adventure

I was in the mainland from February 25 to march 3 because I had to report to my mother unit to process my application for promotion.

Tanay, Rizal and fort Bonifacio became my staple destinations during that week. Thankfully, I was able to wrap up everything by Friday  march 1, morning so I was free the weekend just in time because our friends have invited as for a whole day gala at Subic, Zambales.

I never really had friends. I meant, I have friends but i do not spend time with them. We only exchange hi's and hellos thru text or over the internet. Why, you may ask. I say, 1) my friends in grade school are all working in the different parts of the country if not the world 2) I studied in Cagayan de Oro in High School so most of my high school friends are from there and 3) PMA, oh hail to thee! My mistah's are all so busy serving the AFP! OMG.

Given that, going out with the husband's friends is such a breather. We seldom talk about work and just simply enjoy each other's company. I may not be part of the original gang but I feel that i am very welcome in the group.

Here's our IT/ travel memo prepared by our very good and hyper friend Marian.


Walk on the Wild Side
prepping up for the free fall
Didn't know he wanted this one. Ikaw na ang extremist!

We made it!

 After Ocean Adventure and Tree Top adventure ( two adventures in one sentence{now you know why this is entitled Subic Adventure}), we went shopping and then had our dinner at Seafood by the Bay. The husband and I were not so hungry because we had early breakfast and we had sandwiches for baon. Iba na ang prepared.:) w

Arrived home around twelve midnight. Took a short rest then prepared again to leave for work.

Hmmmmm.....tired but sobrang happy!

'til, next time dabarkads!
