I know the photo looks hazy. Night shot+hand held p/s camera don’t really go quite well together 😀
Anyway, this is one of the latest hubs to go to in the heart of QC, UP-AyalaLandTechnoHub where different kinds of restaurants can be found, among others.
The place looks a bit different now that there are more shops opened.

Goldilocks products have always been prized items for me as a young girl.
Back when my mother used to travel to Manila to purchase goods to be sold in her store, she would always, always bring home Goldilocks popcorn, polvoron, brownies and of course, cakes. Never mind if she had to hand carry these things because she has to take a four-to-five hour bus ride home.
I would savour eating these products, taking one slow bite after another slow bite. It was pure bliss!
When a store near our home in the province sold Goldilocks products, I saved my allowance to be able to buy which, like the products my mother bought home, were savored one tiny bite at a time.
I even took baking lessons with close friends during one summer when I was in high school so that I can make cookies, brownies and cakes. I did enjoy baking these products but nothing came close to the texture, flavour and taste of the Goldilocks products that I so love.
When I went to college in the NCR, I always had Goldilocks products in my small stash of food supply: polvoron, brownies and those oh-so-soft and velvety mamon.
Whenever I can go home on a weekend, I bring Goldilocks pasalubong to my mother. Never mind if this puts a dent in my allowance.
I lived in a dorm that is on a street with a Goldilocks restaurant. I have lots of fond memories of meals eaten there with my parents whenever they visit me. I even go there by myself when the dorm food is not to my liking. I alternated having dinuguan and puto, palabok, and pork barbecue whenever I went there. These were gastronomical experiences that I fondly remember.
Whenever my friends and I watch movies, we were always armed with Goldilocks caramel popcorn.
Oh the precious memories!
Now that I am married and have three children, birthday celebrations and special occasions are never complete without Goldilocks products.
Mamon, ensaymada, brownies, banana bread slice and popcorn are commonly brought to school for snacks.
When we have Goldilocks cravings, we head off to a branch to savor the wonderful meals being offered.
Goldilocks products make us feel more united as a family and with this I say:
“You’re the one Goldilocks because you make me feel special with your wonderfully delicious products that are best shared with my loved ones”
Shopping for clothes is a retail therapy that women, or men, will not say “no” to. To think that the garments factory is one of the lucrative businesses around is proof that people like to buy clothes.
Do you know that there are clothes that can be bought in bulk? I have not heard about wholesale clothes and this idea seem fresh to me. This reminds me of clothes being sold in “ukay-ukay” shops where bundles of clothes can be sold: from tops to shoes.
I have several tops and shorts that I got from an ukay-ukay store nearby 🙂
*ukay-ukay means to dig, literally means to dig through piles of used clothes
These photos were for a photo scavenger hunt (different from the Saturday Photo Hunter meme that I participate) that I plan to join but was not able to.
Some photos included were taken by my 13yo daughter.

8. A Bridge
Would you dare cross that hanging bridge? No, there are no crocodiles lying in wait just in case you fall down but then, that would double the fun, wouldn’t it? (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)
9. A Shadow
Wouldn’t you know, it is almost high noon but because of the shadows cast by the trees, this road is quite shady and still cool for a walk.
10. A Garden
