Hello Milkshake lovers!  Here is a good news for all of you.  Remember that I have featured the Happy Barn Milkshake here already with their opening at Rustan's Supermarket Rockwell Powerplant Mall last September and now in just a few months after, they opened another store. 

The Happy Barn Milkshake Factory opens its third store located at the New Wing of Market! Market! Mall in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City last November 30, 2013.


The new store has "a shabby-barn' chic look with mismatched chairs, tables and benches designed to look like picket fences.  During the opening lots of people lined up at the store to buy their milkshakes and also to have a look of who's the owner of the establishment.    Of course autograph signing and picture taking was also their interest as I have mention before in my first coverage of the opening Ms. Jodi Sta Maria is one of the owner and who personally serve the customers.


The three owners (Jodi Sta. Maria, Abigail Del Mundo and Janssen Munoz) of Happy Barn Milkshake were busy serving their customer, they looked happy that their opening turn out to be a blockbuster just like the teleserye of Jodi Sta. Maria.


The Happy Barn boasts of their specialty shakes like the Nuts for Choc-nut (Choc nut flavored shake), Nutty Monkey Delight (Banana Nutella) and Salted Caramel Pretzel Surprise (Caramel and salted pretzels, to name a few. The Happy Barn is also proud to be the first to offer the Eggettes. It is a ball waffle that is crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.  The Eggettes can also be customized with different flavors and add-ons to choose from like, Kiddie Kernel Corn (hotdog and corn) and Porky Pork floss (pork floss) the Cheesy Goodness Eggettes is also a must try.

The taste of the Eggettes is very enticing that you can finish one or more than serving of it.  As for me, I like the Kiddie Kernel Corn very much, while the plain Eggettes are liked by my kids, they love to munch it over while watching TV.



"We want to exude the feeling of happiness in our stores. And now, we are giving everyone more reason to "drink happy thoughts" by offering 20% Sugar and Sugar-Free variants in our ice cream. We are also proud to claim that we are the first and only milkshake bar in the country serving Shakes Fortified and Prebiotics. We want to people to drink healthy & happy thoughts!" said Actress Jodi Sta. Maria, one of the owners of the Happy Barn "We are also pleased to announce that everyone who shared this special day with us, is able to "Share Happy Thoughts" to others. We will donate part of today's proceeds to typhoon Yolanda's relief efforts".

And Happy thoughts indeed was felt as The Happy Barn Milkshake Factory opened its third Store.

The Happy Barn Milkshake Factory can also be found at Rustan's Supermarket, Evia, Daang Hari, Las Pinas City and at Rustan's Marketplace, Power Plant Mall, Makati City.

So mommies, if you're near to one of their stores just visit it and let you and your family taste the The Happy Barn Milkshake and "Drink Happy Thoughts" over a bonding moment with your loved ones.

AXE Apollo Team Philippines members get ready for intense workouts.

Our AXE Apollo Team Philippines members are all up and ready as they under gone training at Crossfit Manila (CFMNL) and Siltless Deep Sea Diving Center, and they are definitely read to go.

Evan, Ramil, and Chino do a few chin-ups while training in CFMNL.

CFMNL, with branches in Makati, the Fort, Pasig, Libis and Alabang, gave ten high intensity workouts to Evan Ray Datuin, Ramil Santos, and Chino Roque. The three astronaut hopefuls were given a very challenging battery of 7 minute AMRAP (as many rounds/reps as possible) of wall balls, box jumps, squat thrusts, push-ups, and chin-ups. In doing this, the physical limits of the trio were rapidly pushed to the brink, and then expanded immediately afterwards.

From there, Siltless Diving head Jason Kho Gillo prepared them to deal with near-weightless environments, as is the case when underwater. Giving all three in-water instructions, they were taken on a Discover Scuba Experience program, which is a worldwide certified program for beginners to get their feet wet literally and figuratively when it comes to diving. As an introduction rather than a full course, of the 5 Chapters required to complete the Discover Scuba Experience program, only 1 was given for the three astronaut hopefuls.

Ramil, Evan Ray, and Chino are given some pre-underwater instructions at Siltless Diving.

They had basic medical consultations, blood tests, x-rays, treadmill exercise tests, ECG’s, and ultrasound using the hospital’s state-of-the-art facilities.

"Making Beautiful Things Happen Everyday!"

Who loves bread?

Well, here is something new for you and make that tummy full as imaginatively, for now, as I tour you with my food experience about Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe.

As a full time mommy I need to be creative on foods that I prepare for my family, but there are instances that they get used to what I offer or locally known as "umay".  So I need to know more ways of preparing food.  Thankfully that problem is solve already with this baker cafe. 

Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe is formerly known as Monsees Cafe, owned and established by Baker-Pastry-Chef-Lawyer Marina Demeterio.


Atty. Marina started as a homebaker, doing and selling leche flan, fruit cake and pastries to her colleagues since 1994, with influences coming mostly from her grandmother and by watching TV Shows.  After graduating from law school, Atty. Marina enrolled in culinary schools of Sylvia Cancio, Sylvia Reynoso, Heny Sison and Jill Sandique, and eventually took a leave of absence from her profession in 2007 to take a diploma course at International School for Culinary Arts & Hotel Management (ISCAHM) under internationally renowned pastry chefs Ernie Babaran & Bubbles Cruz Lerias.


In 2008, Atty. Marina established the company Monsees Chefs & Bakers, Inc. which started as a commissary at her house, delivering cakes and breads to food service institutions, catering to well-known restaurants and cafes, and supplying frozen laminated dough to Marriott Hotels, coffee shops and hoomebakers alike.  In 2009, Monsees began to join bazaars and started to carry homey-comfort breads such as the Spanish Bread and Breadsticks/Grissini.



In celebration of its Anniversary this November 2013, Monsees Cafe re-launched, with a refurbished ambiance, a perked-up menu and rebranded as Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe.

Yes, the ambiance is so cozy and it is just like you're in your own home.  As we do our review, we felt that we were just hanging around in a very light atmosphere while listening to Suy Galvez and  munching those delicious food.  Here are some of the food that we tasted during the event.  A tour with Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe.

Frozen Hot Chocolate.  I love chocolate very much, since I am not a fan of coffee, hot chocolate is better and it is heaven for me, hahaha.  From the name of the drink Frozen Hot Chocolate, it is quite intriguing because it's contrasting term of cold and hot, right?  Still, the drinks is very delightful and refreshing.  The coldness is right for the taste of chocolate.  As I sip, the fullness of Chocolate is there and the sweetness is heaven!  I definitely recommend it to all my friends who love chocolate drinks.
