2013 Starbucks planner - Philippines

After a month of drinking Frappucinno and treating my friends to Starbucks just to complete the stickers, I finally acquired a 2013 Starbucks planner.

I didn't avail the 2011 Starbucks Planner, guess I don't feel its design though.

When I saw the the Green variant of the 2013 Starbucks Planner, I suddently rush to the line and avail the paper which you need to collect an amount of sticker in exchange of the planner.


Unboxing the 2013 Startbucks Planner, Green variant.


Removing the cover of the planner.

Its a different experience on the latest planner from Starbucks, compared to its previous years; I think the materials used are from recyclable material and provided by Starbucks Sparkhope--by the way, every puchase of a planner provides support, shelter, and education to children in remote barangay in the Philippines; so you're enjoying your Frappucinno at the same time you are helping someone to have a stable future.


Anyway, I am happy with the planner from Starbucks and drinking Frappuccino. The 2013 Starbucks planner are available in three colors; Black, Green, and White--get the Green one.

Homemade Pizza part 2

Again, my craving for personalizing my own pizza strikes again when one of my acquiantance brought again a raw pan--used in pizza though.

Last time that I customize a pizza was consist of pure meat (heavily on hotdogs and ham), so right now I want different, a little veggie but still there's still the essence of the meat that my body still craving for at the same time I will use a tomato sauce and quickmelt cheese-- I can't afford to buy a mozarella cheese, its too expensive; and still on the budget.



So I told my ate that handle our house chores to buy me the following ingredients to start my pizza creation:


Ham and Mushroom, like I said earlier that there still that meat but with a mix of a veggie--or non-meat at all.


Our trusted brand when it comes in condiments, Hunt's Tomato sauce.


And our substitute for Mozarella Cheese, Philippines pride brand Magnolia quickmelt Cheese.

So I mix all the necessary ingredients to produce my latest pizza creation, as you can see that I stuff heavily on the toppings (hotdog and mushroom).


Of course, we need to pre-heat the oven in 20 minutes in order the pizza will be cooked at the exact temperature and exact time.


Before we close the oven in order the pizza will be cooked. We need another 20 minutes in order the ingredients will be cooked--like the mushroom, tomato sauce, and hotdog; this time, we will see a melting cheese on a pan-pizza compared to the previous creation where I use is a cheedar cheese which the cheese did not melt as expected.



The taste of my creation is great of course. Hope I can create again another creation.
