My Experience with Pasteleria Manila: A Disappointing Surprise

Ordering cakes online has become such a convenient way to celebrate milestones and send love to family and friends. With so many shops to choose from, I usually prefer ordering from smaller local sellers rather than big commercialized chains. In my experience, smaller businesses often provide more attentive service, offer unique and creative options, and I like knowing that I’m supporting local entrepreneurs at the same time.

I’ve actually known about Pasteleria Manila since they first went viral online, and I had been wanting to try them for a while. When I found out that they had a branch near my intended recipient, I thought it was finally the perfect opportunity to order. I was genuinely excited, both to support a local shop I’d admired from afar and to surprise a loved one with something special.

Unfortunately, my experience didn’t turn out the way I hoped — and I think it’s worth sharing here for anyone considering ordering from them.

Kaka Raining in Manila by Lola Amour niyo, talagang di na tumigil yung ulan!


It’s been the rainy season for a while now, but the past few days have brought heavier downpours due to the tropical depression. As drivers, we know that heavy rainfall means heavy traffic, slippery roads, flooding, and reduced visibility.

Although the rain may ease up soon, the rainy season in the Philippines usually lasts until November—so it’s best to stay prepared. Here are five car essentials every driver should have during the rainy season.

If you're not a fan of milk, they also have a tomato variant that has vitamin c to brighten your skin.
