Nope, I'm not dumping 2 random words to make a click-bait title for my blog post, Cabbages and Condoms is a legit thing. What is it exactly? Well...


I suppose the word Cabbages in its name gave off an obvious idea already, because Cabbages & Condoms is a restaurant. It is located at 10 Sukhumvit Soi 12 Klongtoey, Bangkok, where you can use Korea Town Plaza as a landmark, since the restaurant itself is not located in the main road. 


Here you go hahaha!
You're probably thinking, 'Condoms? Why condoms?', but before I answer that, let me dump some photos of the place for your entertainment :)

Yup, made of condoms hahaha!



Reference, anyone? 

Yup, they give out free condoms hahaha!

Ummm, Nice blooms? 

Haute Couture
Retro.
Yup, the whole place is adorned with condoms, from clothing up to floral arrangements, there is no shortage of condoms. But besides its novelty. the restaurant is more than just a giggly thing. Cabbages and Condoms restaurant is more than a quirky name, it's actually a social movement. You see, this restaurant was actually started by an ex-politician named Mechai Viravaidya, who is championing relevant social issues, one of which is family planning and sexual health. By putting up this restaurant, a fraction of the profit goes to various projects and programmes of Population and Community Development Association (PDA) of Thailand, not bad, right?

Too hungry to flatlay

*drooooooling*




You know what else is not bad? The food itself! Aside from being a platform for educating the masses about sexual health, the food in this place is actually good! I couldn't recall much of all the food I ate then, but I can definitely vouch for their sticky rice and mango! It is the perfect contrast to all the spicy dishes like the Nor Mai Farang Phad Gung, which literally burnt my tongue huhuhu!


After stuffing yourself with the best Thai food in town, you can swing by their handicraft store to buy different Nick Knacks, like these bad boys:


Soooo, would I recommend people to go here should they ever find themselves hungry in Bangkok? Why, of course yes! Just make sure to remember that they are open from 11 am to 10 pm. Although, just a friendly advise, better not bring that conservative aunt of yours who is anti-RH bill, unless you wouldn't mind hearing a 2-hour sermon hahaha!

Love Always,

Nicole

Since my last post last July 2014 [for a MTV contest post, which I did not win *cue sad music*], I gained a lot of... things. To be exact, I gained a lot of weight

(from http://heartsnmagic.tumblr.com/)
According to Science, this is a natural phenomena that happens when you hit your mid twenties. To cut it short, my metabolism slowed down. Despite Science slowing down my fat burning mechanism, my cravings for all the calorie bombs remain constant. When I see food, I gotta have it, and savour it. Sure, eating is a human necessity, however it became a hobby for me. 70% of my salary goes to food (just kidding, most of it goes to bills). No wonder, most of my photos in my phone are food. RIP wallet.



This is surprisingly good, I tell you. 
This is heaven *drops mic*
In addition to that, I had no idea that being in a relationship would made me end up 30 pounds heavier. I never thought that all those spontaneous trips to get buffalo wings would end up giving me those bulgy bits on the side of my tummy. I never thought that all those cakes and ice creams, oh and gummi worms, would make my face rounder. Now, I must pay the price, and punish myself. 

(from http://srsfunny.tumblr.com/) Yes, buying myself a massive floater ASAP.
Kidding aside, I have now planned to do something about my weight problem, and that is to exercise and eat healthy. Particularly, this is what I really am up to:

1. Go to Gym, EVERYDAY. No excuse, whatsoever (unless manila has turned into Atlantis already).
2. Write all the things I eat. EVERY.SINGLE.THING.THAT.GOES.INTO.MY.MOUTH. Whether it's a piece of gummi or 3 M&Ms. 
3. No more Pork. This is partly because of Winston (I'll tell you about him soon, he's cool).
4. Do yoga. 
5. No more Soda, Fruit Shakes, Frappucinos- basically anything liquid calorie bombs.
6. Go back to having a weight of 120 lbs before my cousin's wedding on December, and rock my hubadera bridesmaid dress.
7. Blog about this misadventure, and document how I will fail succeed this.

So, tomorrow July 1, 2016, I'm set to start my challenge, my 30 day gym challenge, to be from this:

My current 140+ lbs self, with bulgy bits, and a huge problem of being unable to fit into my clothes.
to this:
My 21 year old self, weighing 120lbs, with noticeable collarbone.
I need people's wishes that I won't crawl back to darkness, where all the cheetos and buffalo wings are. Wish me luck, world!

XOX,
Nicoco
