Today, I made a quite substantial decision.  Imagine, creating a new blog.  That's what I just did.  The blog is new,but the initial set of posts are not, especially the last 55 posts since they are extracted from my current blog, which focuses on personal style and fashion - I Dress-up And Sleep .  I have thought this over.  And today, is a remarkable day, as I unveil my new blog which focuses about food, my adventures in the kitchen and some travels (with food) in between.   But after all of the bunch of imported posts are published, I assure you, the next in will all be crisp and garden-fresh. I welcome you to I DRESS-UP AND EAT !  (It was originally named as Food CyEcle on November 2, 2015 but I decided to change it, to be closely associated still with my passion on personal style, so I changed it on December 30, 2015) Enjoy my gastronomic adventures as I take you to the restaurants and any form of eateries that I have stepped fo...

According to wikipedia:  J.CO Donuts & Coffee  is a cafe  restaurant chain  in  Indonesia  specializing in  donuts , c offee  and frozen yogurt. The company is owned and managed by Johnny Andrean Group. The first time I tasted J.Co Donuts from "pasalubong" of families and  friends who traveled to Manila, back then when J.Co Donuts was only available in NCR, my favorite flavor was the OREOLOGY.  And from then, for quite sometime, I only picked OREOLOGY despite a handful of donuts flavors to choose from in a box. Since I love chocolate in donuts,  I was drawn to the mouthwatering, glossy, chocolate-coated donut in J.CO DONUTS & COFFEE Cafe in Mangga Dua Square Mall . ...

First CAT CAFE in Cebu City! The thought of it made me shiver of excitement.  Oh, I love cats and I'm too eager to fondle their fur. Enjoy the rest of the photos as much I enjoyed the whole experience. CAT CAFE is located at beside Villa Fatima Subdivision, Guadalupe, Cebu City. Opens from 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm I failed to ask for their names nor asked for their genders, but as you can see they're all so lovely and cuddly.

Do drop by at the CAT CAFE in Guadalupe, Cebu City and share your "cat" stories too. Eat good food, Play with Cats, and Live in style, everyday!
