Sophie Makes: Crepe Cake
Hey guys! Happy New Year! (Sorry for the late greeting—whoops! I guess at this point, it’s past Chinese New Year now, haha.) Welcome to the first blog post of the year. While the start of the year feels fresh, it feels like it’s already been a month with all the events happening both in my…

Big Bad Wolf Book Fair Haul (2019)
It’s time for another book haul! I first went to the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair last year with one of my best friends, Nicole. I’d won VIP tickets and we excitedly went book shopping before class that day (it was really convenient that the book fair location is near our university!) The Big Bad…

Papa Didi’s Ice Cream Subscription
I’ve been waiting for months to finally write this blog post! A few months ago, I read this article on Spot.ph about a local ice cream subscription. Of course, with no hesitation, I signed up—I love ice cream, after all, and I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to food. I was ready to have three months of…

MIBF 2018 Book Haul!
Two things: first, this is officially my 100th blog post! Horray! I’m so proud to reach this milestone for my blog. Thank you for sticking around and reading my stories. Second, here is my haul for this year’s Manila International Book Fair. I make it a point to go every year and buy all the…

Bad Bird’s Private Tasting Event
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m such a sucker for contests and random draws. So, when I saw this in my email on the 25th of February, I knew I had to try and enter their lottery draw for seats. The next day, I got this in my email:…

Big Bad Wolf Book Fair Haul (2018)
After weeks of eagerly waiting (and saving), the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair finally makes its debut in the Philippines! I stayed up-to-date with the book fair, making sure that I didn’t miss a single post. Sure enough, they gave away hundreds of preview passes that’s good for the day before opening to the public. I—of…

My 20th Birthday Celebration!
And so, the inevitable happens. I’m 20-years old! (L-R): Me, Chiara, Courtney, Nicole, and Stacy! This year, I celebrated with my best friends one day after my birthday (which was on February 10.) I made reservations at a nearby restaurant called The Frazzled Cook. I was drooling over the menu as the day approached, and I’m…

MIBF 2017 Book Haul!
Last month, just like every year, I went to the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF, for short). As expected, my wallet wasn’t ready for it (despite me trying to save for a year.) Unlike last year, where I was able to go to the MIBF on two dates, I was only able to go once…

Sophie Bakes: Homemade Dog Treats
A couple of weeks ago, my little sister climbed one of our kitchen shelves and accidentally knocked over a jar of oatmeal. Instead of throwing it out, I decided to make dog treats instead (since my dogs started eating the oats on the floor like there’s no tomorrow.) I found this easy recipe from this…

Asia Pop Comic Con 2017!
It’s that time of the year again – Asia Pop Comic Con 2017! Just like last year, I went with my best friend Courtney! We went on August 26! I’d like to say that this year, I came more prepared (meaning, I brought more money – HAHA.) When we go to APCC, we usually have…
