Circus+Ballet = Fabulous Art

I can't remember the last time I saw contact juggling and ballet combined.  I have been working hard with the Canadian Pacific Ballet and last night we performed this piece for the first time in Market Square in Victoria.  It turned out gorgeous.

This is just a little trailer.  We will perform it until the end of August, so there will be many more opportunities to make it tighter and tighter.  At the end of the summer, I will provide you with the full version.

And I have also been working on a new clown act that I performed for the first time last night.  I definitely got the laughs, but now watching the video, there are so many comedy gaps to fill.  Luckily, I get to perform it again so I can make it more solid.

Sweet Bella - Burgos Circle

The first time I heard of Sweet Bella was when the student of Tita Portia gave her a box of ensaymada from the pastry shop.  Then she and I went to Burgos Circle to take a peek at their store.  

Then... I was with Celine last Monday, her sister Gina gave us a voucher... and today I went back.  I liked the Quatro Funghi Pizza the first time I ate there ... so I ordered a whole pizza! It was just a 9 inch super thin and crispy pizza with button, shitake, oyster and winsu mushrooms.



The cheese was creamy, soft and thick ... unlike the other food chain pizzas  I order once in a while.... their cheese was like candle wax when cold. 

I do not like pizza that much ... I am actually NOT allowed because the cheese would cause vertigo.... plus let us not think anymore of the calories.

But I could not help myself ... I had to go back to Sweet Bella ...  I just had to have their Mushroom Pizza. I did not finish the whole pie.



I wanted to but I just had 5 slices and brought home the remaining three.

Have I told you about the thin crust? I turned it upside down and took a picture.



It is even thinner than Skyflakes!

Maybe I am the only one who likes the pizza... reminds me of Birdhouse Pizza a long, long, long time ago. 


The small dining area is on the second floor.  Sometimes, they would put on French music. 



Sweet Bella has lots of pastries ... It is a dessert cafe.  

There are still other interesting things I would like to try next time.  Who wants to join me?

Happy Birthday, Mayette!

Happy Birthday, Mayette!  My friends and I were teasing her on the phone last Sunday.  We told her, "It's your birthday on July 13, what are your plans?!?!"  She said she will be busy with work with a scheduled operation in the morning.  She is an Ophthalmologist.

Last  week, Corry wanted me to ask Mayette and Celine if they would like to celebrate their birthdays jointly.  I "conveniently" forgot to ask the two.  Hahaha  I want to celebrate all their birthdays separately!  

We (Jing, Mona, Mon,  Sherman and I) were invited to dinner at Kanin Club, Ayala Triangle. Celine, Mariger and Corry were not able to join us.   Mayette and her whole family (Mommy, Joy, Kiel, Bees, Luan, Mark, Cindy and Jon) were there so it was a long table filled with food! Almost two of everything!  Earlier in the evening, Nolan, Sol and the kids also had dinner.


Crispy Liempo - paper thin Lechon Kawali



Aligue Rice - I loved it!



Bagoong Rice - not my favorite



Crispy Dinuguan - crunchy chicharon with dinuguan sauce

Itsi-Bitsi - stir fried vegetables with beef flakes.



Butter Cake with Butter Icing from Estrel's



"Corkage Fee"



 Hahahaha  There was a "Cutting Fee", had to pay 250 to be able to cut and slice the cake!  So I gave them each a paper napkin  hahaha ... told them, might as well make use of it .... and no sharing of dessert plates! 

The food never stopped coming!  My waistline never stopped growing in increments! I drank a lot of water, the waiter probably thought there was a horse in our party!

And the best part ... at the end of our meal .... Joy, the sister of Mayette said:  This is my birthday gift to you!  You should have seen her smile! It was from ear to ear!  

Thank you Mayette for the delicious birthday dinner!  Hahahaha or should I say, Thank you Joy?!?!?

I am so blessed to have you and Jon as my friends!  Happy Birthday again my dear friend!
