Curiosity Cottage in Ilfracombe

Curiosity Cottage in Ilfracombe


If you are going to Ilfracombe near the Harbour or the Capstone Hill and wants a reasonable priced food, I would recommend the one that we tried recently which is located in the James Place street. You can drop by at the Curiousity Cottage. I think this is a family run cafe. I ordered their Eggs & Chips and their Jacket Potatoes 'cause I'm a bit famished with all the partial exploring. My companion and I both enjoyed their food. Hehehe.


Jacket Potatoes Plain and a Cafe Latte

Jacket Potatoes Plain (A shoutout to my friend who taught me how locals eat this :) You have to put the butter in the middle and have to mash and mix it with the potato)

Verney's Molton Ice Chocolate Orange Ice Cream



If you are in the mood for ice cream and you happen to be in Devon, I would highly recommend Verney's Molton Ice Chocolate Orange Ice Cream. It is an artisan ice cream which costs a little over 2 pounds but I can vouch that this tastes good.

Sensations Coated Peanuts Mexican Smoked Chili

This Sensations Coated Peanuts Mexican Smoked Chili by Walkers tastes like a Nagaraya brand in the Philippines but the crunch has a softer version.

Independence Day

Independence Day



As much as I would like to say out loud Happy Independence Day for the Philippines, I don't think the Philippines is free and independent. It's still basking in corruption and little regard for peoples lives. Most of the people have not learned their lesson and still choose to vote politicians who are only there for their personal interests. It has become a cycle and it made me sad, frustrated and bleeding for the country. Believe me when I say, I've tried to stay as much as I can. But I gave up as I've felt I needed to survive for me and my family. Hopefully, things are changing and better things are awaiting as the new generation has more access to information now. The only thing is that... is it the truth and is it factual? I also yearn that the new generation can dissect information with wisdom and knowledge.

Loreal Triple Active Comforting Moisturiser Night cream

Loreal Triple Active Comforting Moisturiser Night cream


There was a time that I wasn't able to take care of myself and I missed it when I previously used to due to more urgent priorities. When I moved here in the UK, I noticed that my skin has been drying out and I didn't like it. So I took a risk on Loreal Night Cream and it surprisingly gave the feel of moisturization that I needed. 



I am aware that it is intended to use at night, but as long as I haven't found out the day cream which could provide the necessary hydration to my face, I'm still sticking to this one though my face would be a bit oily in the later part of the day.



It is also affordable and cheaper if I am to compare it with other brands. It costs around 4.46 GBP at Superdrug.

Persil Liquid Detergent


To be honest, this is an okay detergent for whites but a definitely a no for colored or darker clothes as I noticed that it fades out the color of the clothes.

Milka Hazelnut Chocolate

Milka Hazelnut Chocolate



I first encountered this brand when a patient gave us this chocolate in the unit. I liked the taste of it ever since and was greatly elated when I saw this in Tesco. As of now, it is 89 pence at Tesco so I'm a doubly happy kiddo!

Easy sandwich for the Get-go

Easy sandwich for the Get-go



Times and studies have advised us over and over again how having breakfast is essential to our overall performance in the day. And ironically being in the medical field, I don't always eat one especially when I'm in a hurry. In my defense, I sometimes do not eat when I feel that it would make my mind to lag for awhile. It's as if it was still basking on the sugar rush. And my body seems a bit heavier to move. Or it's just me.

Well... Recently, I have made an sandwich which is very easy to prepare. And this just consists of 3 ingredients:


2 whole meal loaf, toasted

Soft cheese, dollop

Jam, apricot, a handful


And that's it. Enjoy while it's hot!

Comfort Fabric Conditioner Honeysuckle and Sandalwood



If there is a fabric conditioner that I would purchase again, it is this one. This fabric conditioner is more viscous and I like the scent of it more.
