Tales of a Newlywed Couple

My top choice for the Philippine Blog Awards 2010 Bloggers Choice Award is Life with Ria, a fellow Mindanaoan blogger.  I am voting for her because she writes with passion and she shares her heart with her readers.  Ria inspires many bloggers like me.

I’m a certified food lover and the opening of Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe at Robinsons Mall Gensan last year (October) was indeed a good news and a yummy treat to me and the rest of the Generals.  You see, Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe is known for its freshly baked and delicious breads, cakes and pastries.  I so love the idea that they have a store inside a mall because it’s more convenient to buy there.  Aside from the mouth-watering breads, cakes and pastries they offer, Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe also serves other delectable food like burger, pizza and pasta.  Plus they have tasty viands that you don’t want to miss like the Barbeque Pork Ranch Belly, Southeast Dory and Beef Almighty.

Few months ago, I tried their Carbonara and I can say that it’s really yummy.  I want to try their Red Sauce Pasta Arrabiata loaded with meatballs.  A friend of mine says that it’s really delicious.  I must mention this… the staff of Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe are courteous and really serve their clients well.  Customer satisfaction is guaranteed.

When my hubby celebrated his 32th birthday recently, I surprised him with a luscious heart-shaped cake from Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe.  He loved it as well as our little girl and the rest of our guests who all enjoyed the yummy chocolate moist with coffee cake.

Have a taste of your favorite Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe products now and experience a yummy treat from them.  Visit Aunt Ludi Bakeshoppe at Robinsons Mall Gensan (just near the grocery area).

I started blogging in the year 2007.  But even before having my own blog, I’m already following some blogs…that is, read posts from blogs that I like.  You see, I’m a big “fan” of blogs and everyday, I spend time reading the thoughts and adventures of these bloggers.

The past months, there were quite a number of interesting blogs that really caught my attention.  If I have to choose my top ten most influential blogs, these will be the following:

1. Ganda Ever So Much – I’m hooked with this blog!  Try visiting Orman’s blog and you’ll know what I mean.  I so like the way he writes, it’s full of wit and humor.

2. Fab Finds, Etc. – this is Chika’s rants on shopping, beauty tips, sales and a whole lot more.  Very interesting blog indeed!

3. Kikay Much – this blog of Donna (a fashionista and an entrepreneur) is a haven for girls like me who love fashion, beauty talk, clothes, kikay kits, hairstyles, etc.

4. Home Sweet Home – another blog of Chikai where she talks about family, kids, parenting and home management.  I love it!

5. Alexis Chua – a personal blog of a witty young man who hopes to positively influence readers with his writings.

6. Ako si Rabsky – another personal blog of a talented and creative young man.  Enjoy reading his random thoughts.

7. Get Prettified – it’s a beauty and lifestyle blog of Brendel, a Davao blogger. Follow her advices and tips on beauty, health, fashion and a whole lot more.
