Gong Cha Time with Hubby's cousin

I was thrilled when i saw the newly opened Gong Cha in ATC's new wing when hubby and i was in ATC last time. Hubby's cousin accompany me yesterday to bring my stool in Healthway ATC for my medical checkup, we went to new wing after and hubby's cousin smells the aroma coming from Gong Cha so we went there and bought our drinks.

 Gong Cha's now all-around Asia

Its my second time to have Gong Cha so I recommend the Wintermelon Milk Tea for Ate Che because it was her first time so dapat house specialty para di ma-dissapoint agad. hehe.

I had naman that Earl Grey Milk Tea in the picture above. I was trying to have different flavor naman and it didn't dissapoint. My drink consists of Pearl, Pudding and Grass Jelly and i told to have the 70% Less Sugar because i want my drink to be empowered by tea instead of milk.

 Our Drinks

Left: Earl Grey Milk Tea for me

Right: Wintermelon Milk Tea for Ate Che

By the way, Ate Che is 7 mos pregnant, ok lang ba sa kanya yung Milk Tea?

 Like what i've said in my previous post about Gong Cha, im still sure of myself that Gong Cha is still the best and my number 1 milk tea. 

Without anything to do, we walk around and pass by the Home store area at the end of new wing. We went to Play and Display and other furnitures store in ATC to scout some cheap finds and inquire for our house.

We also saw this Red Door Candle store and Ate Che was enjoying her stay in that store, maybe because of the fragrant candles kaya type na type nya yun. She even bought this candle kasi Buy 1 Take 1. Perfect daw for our room because its scent spread when lighted.

 Love Potion Candle P100.00 and its Buy 1 Take 1

I lighted this candle last night so our room filled with the scent of the candle tapos ang lamig pa...

Muntik na nga kaming makabuo nyan! hahaha *joke*

Anyway, maganda rin pala yung may ganito sa room. Kasi nag-iiba yung mood because of the fragrance... Parang ang romantic din.. Yun lang dapat bantayan at baka mahagip ng curtains or ng blanket... Imbes na maenjoy ang gabi, baka maging disaster.. hehe

Gong Cha Milk Tea on Job Hunting

Last friday, i went with a friend to go job hunting. Wala kasi akong magawa sa bahay so i joined her going to Makati. She knew that i don't have plans of working soon and that i just want to go somewhere kasi super bored na ko sa house. I passed some resumes too in some companies and will just wait for their calls. Well hindi naman agad tatawag yung mga yun so i will enjoy na lang my vacation and hubby wishes that im going to get pregnant so soon :)

By the way, a week before leaving my previous company. I have series of checkups kasi kailangan sulitin ang HMO card.. hehe. One of my tests that i attended to is trans-v and im happy that im not polycystic anymore and its all normal. My OB was telling me that i am now ready to get pregnant... Kaya lang hindi pa ready ang bulsa namin.. haha

Gong Cha Milk Tea

While going around, i saw Gong Cha and immediately bought a Large Wintermelon Milk Tea to beat the scorching heat of the sun. It was my second time to try Gong Cha and i like it more from Tea Farm.. I don't know what's with Gong Cha pero iba talaga ang lasa nya.. I really crave for more Gong Cha Milk Teas.. Hello thousands of calories :(

Anyway, back to Job Hunting.. I have kwento and it really dissapoint me. We went to this company in The Fort and one of the HR talked to us. He got our resumes and talked in one of the rooms. He was asking some questions on why we are going to apply in their company and what is our expected salary. After talking with our current salary, he was shocked as to how big our salary compared to their accounts and that he turned us down and his reason was they cannot afford to offer the same or above our current salary. He was encouraging us to go look somewhere that will offer us good compensation package.

This really upset me because once and for all, I am with my previous company for years at talagang lalaki ng ganun ang salary ko because of my performance and tenureship. Its so hard to explain to them that you're not really after the job offer kasi eventually lalaki din naman yun in time eh. Kahit nga PhP15,000 ok na sakin eh... (Ang plastic! hahaha)  They turned us down without looking with our experience and achievements :(

Its not our lost anyway... International company pa naman.. Tsk. Tsk.

Will try again next time na maghanap ng work pag wala akong gagawin. For the meantime i will keep myself busy with my online store :-)

Truebrew Milk Tea

Another Milk Tea brand..

And so we asked what's their best seller and they recommend the Wintermelon Milk Tea...

Verdict:

Same lang ng lasa ng other brand ng milk teas kaya lang with Truebrew and bilis mawala nung lasa kasi sobrang daming ice :( 

I miss Tea Farm...

Claiming my Free Tea Farm Milk Tea.

Tea Farm Milk Tea is so far the best for me and my colleagues. Yay to Tea Farm!

With all the flavors, i recommend the Black Sugar Milk Tea, Dark Chocolate Milk Tea, Wintermelon Milk Tea and Matcha Green Milk Tea.

 

And im claiming my free milk tea :)

Matcha Green Milk Tea with Oolong Base

I chose my fave Matcha Green Tea and i add additional Oolong Base aside from Tapioca as my add-ons. Oolong is more of a tea base. I want my milk tea to have a bitter aftertaste. In this way i can enjoy the tea flavor more than milk.

Im on my 2nd Prioritea card now. Ang gastos!

Dove in Chatime, The Fort

Last week, me and my officemates walked in Chatime and bought milk teas. We were addicted na to milk tea and almost everyday nabili kami. Good luck to my baby fats...

Chatime branch in the fort is nice, ang sarap tumambay. The interiors consists of lavander, pink and white furnitures... We didnt have the chance to stay a little longer because we have work that time. As usual, lots of workload and im thankful for that because it means im earning a lot :) Echosera hehe.

Me, Jhoy and Ate Anna

Ate Anna and Janice

 

Everytime we go to Chatime, i always order new drink so i can taste different flavors from their menu. That time i bought Red Bean Milk Tea.

For me, walang pinagkaiba ang lasa, may grinded red beans lang sya aside from the tapioca.

For every transaction in Chatime, you will be given this Dove shampoo and conditioner samples. I tried this product the day after and i liked it. I had manageable and soft hair, ang bango pa :)

Next time, ill try yakult with milk teas and hopefully will have another set of dove samples... Actually ito lang ang ipupunta ko dun para makalibre ng shampoo and conditioner.. hehe. Joke lang.

Fruit Magic and Tea Farm Milk Tea

If there's one thing i would like to continue for my diet program (seryoso na to!), its one glass of fruit magic everyday at work. I only order Body cleanser in Pure Nectar offer. Though it would cost me P120.00 a day ok lang basta pumayat lang ako ng konti. **wishing**

 

image source 

Kung gusto kong pumayat, eto naman kabaligtaran kasi dumodoble ang taba ko because of the milk teas. There's new milk tea brand in Makati named Tea Farm. If i had the time, i always bought milk tea in Tea Farm. Nakakaadik eh.. Balewala din ang diet ko no?

 

Don't you love milk teas?

Tea Farm is located in KPMG building in Ayala Makati.

 

Tea Farm kiosk

Open air station where you can have a chat with your friends while having your favorite milk teas.

After having Wintermelon Milk Tea on my first Tea Farm Milk Tea, last friday i tried the Dark Chocolate Milk Tea.

My prioritea card..

Six stamps to go!!!

Chatime, Alabang Town Center

Before going to Tony Roma's, we walk around the new wing in ATC and we saw the newly opened Chatime. I told hubby that after we eat in Tony Roma's i wanna go back to buy Chatime. Syempre its my first time to try it kaya di ko talaga pinalampas.

Chatime store. Mejo maliit nga lang yung space nila.

Chatime was across the new Guess store in the second floor.

 

Picture on the Guess store.. Sarado pa nga lang. haha

Taken on the new wing... Parang Greenbelt no?

While waiting for my order, i took some pics around the store. The cashier handed me this device because it will serve as the signal if my drink is ready.

You'll know if your drink is ready if this device vibrates.

Chatime New Products.

...and i want to try all of these.

I ordered Pearl Milk Tea because its my first time.

I was given options like:

1. Extra toppings - Pearl, Jelly, Pudding, Coffee Jelly etc. I chose additional Coffee Jelly and add P20.00

2. Ice - No ice, Less ice, Normal ice, Extra Ice. I had Less ice on my drink.

3. Sugar Options - 0% sugar, Normal Sugar, Extra Sugar. I asked the cashier kung ano ang mare-recommend nya and she told me to get the Normal sugar.

Enjoying  my Milk Tea while hubby smoke.

What's your fave drink in Chatime?

Serenitea in ATC

Last thursday, i didn't go to work because i went to post office and send goods to US. I texted hubby about it and told him that im going to mall and we can meet after his work.

After doing errands, i went to Alabang town center because i want to go to Rustans and look for possible gifts for my relatives and godchildren on christmas. As much as i want to go to Divisoria, baka hindi na rin ako makapunta kasi wala na kong time because of our workload in the office. Come December, all the weekends are all fully booked with parties... oo kami na talaga ang busy!

When i arrive in ATC, i saw Serenitea again, parang hinihila yung paa ko dun...

I always pass by this booth whenever im in ATC pero di talaga ko nabili because i had a bad experience with Milk Tea before. Since i heard a lot of positive reviews about Serenitea, i went and fall in line para ma-try and see why people loved it.

I scan the menu looking for their bestsellers because as a first-timer ang hirap talagang pumili. Mabuti na yung bestseller ang hanapin para di ako madissapoint.

According to their FB page, you can customize your drinks with this 3 steps:

1. Choose your Tea

2. Decide the sugar level.

3. Add sinkers to add texture.

If your first-timer like me, don't hesitate to ask the servers or the cashier so they can recommend or explain to you on how to customize your drink para naman you can have one of the best Serenitea drink.

From the top 10, i chose the Wintermelon Milk Tea in medium size for only P95.00.

The counter where they make the orders. You just have to give your name ala Starbucks and they will call you once your drink is ready.

View from the waiting area of Serenitea.. I have to include this photo kasi feeling ko ang payat ko d2.. hehe

The servers are fast because i didnt wait that long for my drink.... My wintermelon milk tea with black pearls...

Ang cute nung lalagyan no? Perfect for the upcoming holiday...

I sat on the provided tables and chairs for customers, thinks of something that im going to do in ATC while waiting for hubby. After drinking and making muni-muni, i leave the store and went to Daiso (my fave thrift shop in ATC)...

After having my first Serenitea drink, im beginning to love milk teas again. Im going to try their Yakult drinks and Okinawa Milk Tea next time.

Have you tried Serenitea?
