Paramita's "Tala"

At last! After a week of waiting, I finally scored a copy of Paramita's debut album TALA. I'm really excited to listen to it, in fact, I'm playing it right now.


When the lady from Radio City hands me the CD the cover, the design instantly caught my attention because it's like one of those Japanese Kimono prints I thought it's really cute. Another thing I like about the packaging is that it doesn't have an acrylic case cover, just a carton sleeve. I like it because I get clumsy sometimes I'm kinda worried about breaking the case. Inside you'll find the lyric sheet separately so you can bring it along even if you're away from your cd player or pc in case you'd like to sing along with their songs.


There are 12 tracks in the album all songs are written by Ria Bautista, the band's vocalist/drummer. I noticed that Ria's songwriting is simple and honest. Among my favorite tracks are Hiling and Takipsilim. They may be new as a band but they're good for starters in the music industry.

Fudge Bar Heaven

Aside from being the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio City is also known for broomsticks, foot rugs, knitted stuff, ethnic furnitures and of course its yummy treats such as Choco flakes, Lengua de Gato, Pastillas, etc.




If you've been to Magsaysay marketplace and happen to pass by pasalubong stalls there you might have seen a jar of Fudge bar but won't see it everywhere not even in Mine's View Park that's because not all the stall sell them. A jar costs Php 60-65.00 depending on how good you are when it comes to haggling. I'm not quite sure what it's made from because the label doesn't say the ingredients, just the manufacturer's name. I think it's butter cookie with chocolate, nuts and raisin fillings. It tastes so darn good me and my twin sister can finish a jar in just one sitting especially if you're watching TV.


If you visit Baguio don't forget to try this Fudge Bar I'm talking about you'll keep coming back for more.


Sweet!
