UCC

One of my favorite places to hang out when I want quiet time is UCC in Westgate Alabang. The coffee’s good, the cakes and pastries are good, the food is good, and it’s pricey enough so that I don’t need to worry about the usual noisy Starbucks inhabitants disturbing the peace. The catch is I only get to go there when I have extra money to spend.

UCC also serves one my my favorites among all of the Red Velvet cakes I’ve ever tried. So Red Velvet is usually what I order when I’m there, along with a nice cappuccino. That’s exactly what I had one afternoon when some friends from Festival Mall and I visited Westgate to check out an event setup.

Life in Style at Westgate. Sorry for the ugly photos. It’s my Blackberry’s fault.

This visit was in February, I think. You can see in the photo that the Hub was still boarded up. Now it’s all done and operational. Happy to see that Westgate is growing! It really is one of my favorite places to visit in Alabang.

I just realized that it’s been a while since I last visited UCC. Lately, I’ve been spending my money at Starbucks because of their Christmas drinks. I think maybe I’ll ask the boys if they want to have a meal at UCC soon. 🙂

Because I have every intention of resting early so I can finally fix my sleeping habits, I decided have my Saturday treat a little earlier today. Although my day was spent at work, I allowed myself to take some time off for leisurely activities in between tasks. Spent a good hour or so making my first ever papercraft toy while chatting with our sounds and lights guy this afternoon. He is now stationed on a shelf at the office, standing guard.

Aren’t you a little short for a Storm Trooper?

We left the mall for a bit to take a quick peek at our setup at Westgate for the BFF Pet Event tomorrow. Our Creatives Department really did a great job on our Halloween centerpiece, a magical castle with a life-sized wizard. Will be posting photos of our BFF and Halloween setup after tomorrow’s event. Praying for good weather and lots of attendees. I also hope a lot of people come over to have their pictures taken at the castle while it’s up. While at Westgate, Mica and I stopped by UCC for some cake and coffee. I ordered my favorite Red Velvet Cake to share and a Hot Caramel Macchiato. Mica had an Iced White Chocolate Mocha.

Mica already took a spoonful off the whipped cream on top before I got to snap a photo.

My favorite drink in any coffee shop – Caramel Macchiato!

I also got myself a little something on impulse today. I’m really happy about it and I’ve no regrets. Although, I really need to stop buying things out of the blue, especially things that cost 4-digits and above. Oh well. I’ll just have to pack lunch for the next month or so to make up for this one.

Hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend!
