class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Many thanks to my dad for granting my Birthday slash Christmas wish--- Apple iPhone 6. He was supposed to come home last Christmas but his immediate superior didn't allow him to leave the office even for a short two-week vacay. That's how demanding he is at work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was no surprise that my dad got me the iPhone 6 in gold knowing that he loves gold jewelries himself. (pun intended) My previous phone (iPhone 5s) which was a Christmas gift from a relative two years ago came in gold color too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Obviously, iPhone 6 has bigger screen compared to iPhone 5s-- Now, I'm more hooked into my favorite online game, Clash of Clans. The camera is A-OK. Even if my hands get a little bit shaky in snagging a picture, the result's still pretty decent. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Battery life is just average. With continuous internet usage, it only can last for two good hours. But if you aren't a heavy mobile phone user (<i>meaning, text lang and konting calls), </i>the battery lasts for a day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-91312892625258257982015-03-31T14:32:00.001+08:002015-03-31T23:55:41.981+08:00Lunch at Island Cove Resort<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUF1TcNAlTT28ilMkoPFgMewcayP_v7lx0WATFLvjW1x3_uljmgL3BZgj3xwoXG_JVqQpjkP14ddNCaXGmHOoKhKYXx1LsSc-_yzroFShEtZNhZZscSctal4ZUGt6Ko098tlg/s640/blogger-image-702255987.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUF1TcNAlTT28ilMkoPFgMewcayP_v7lx0WATFLvjW1x3_uljmgL3BZgj3xwoXG_JVqQpjkP14ddNCaXGmHOoKhKYXx1LsSc-_yzroFShEtZNhZZscSctal4ZUGt6Ko098tlg/s640/blogger-image-702255987.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Going to a short out-of-trip has become the yearly tradition of the family everytime my dad comes home for a 3-week vacation. Island Cove Resort is my dad's favorite location 'cause it's just an hour away from home. He also loves the peaceful scenery and impressive <i>Pinoy </i>food in Island Cove Resort. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Three days before my dad left for abroad, he drove us to his favorite location for a yummy<i> Pinoy</i> lunch/merienda.

It's heaven-sent for all of us girls who can never leave the house without wearing makeup. My brows have been my problem ever since and I'd never get tired of ranting about it. (<i>Kasi nakakainis talaga)</i> I have tried numerous eyebrow makeup products but NONE of them passed my standards. (<i>feeling makeup guru, pagbigyan na)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Discovering K-Palette was one of the best days of my life. I was literally jumping in joy when I purchased my first ever K-Palette eyebrow liner. When I got home, I tried it out right away and caught myself smiling the whole time while applying this impeccable eyebrow liner. Sometimes I couldn't believe that I'm actually wearing one 'cause it does a great job in mimicking my eyebrow hair. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My K-Palette eyebrow liner pen's almost empty after a few months of using it, so I went to Beauty Bar-Alabang Town Center the other day to snag some K-Palette eye make up goodies. I got the 2way eyebrow pencil instead of the eyebrow liner, for a change. And the rave reviews online is also the deciding factor in buying it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Another MUST HAVE in every makeup kit would be the real lasting eyeliner. I didn't blow off the chance of acquiring this holy grail make up product 'cause I was greatly inspired by my favorite local MUA. She can create a perfect winged eyeliner in a jiffy. A true artist, indeed!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Just like what I did with my eyebrow liner, I tried it out right away and also caught myself smiling the whole time while applying it to my <i>kaawa-awang </i>eyebrows. The 2way eyebrow pencil obviously has two sides (pencil and powder). I used the pencil tip to draw my eyebrows, then I applied the powder tip to fill in gaps and to achieve a softer look. It has a stronger color opacity-- perfect for those who have lesser eyebrow hairs like me. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Thank you K-Palette for making our eyebrow game stronger than ever! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Now let's move on to the real lasting eyeliner. Eyeliners aren't new to me but it's always been a struggle for me to create that seamless eyeliner makeup. It's tricky and quite hard to achieve especially with liquid eyeliners. But with K-Palette's real lasting eyeliner, I instantly felt like a pro. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The real lasting Micro eyeliner has an impressive .05mm micro thin brush. I personally recommend this for beginners who wanted to score a beautiful eyeliner makeup effortlessly. Never understimate the tenuity of its brush 'cause in every flick you'd always get that consistent super black color. (See sample below). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilW0Pkk1AjATaP3akw2NTRq364X4Ye5b12VYlr5S_PpwIsgC95pU90Edk0s8BOlGSWZBVbWSLHktt47DtRkZJphXeM3msTJYRyKLxic4mvHRbrp8nd-Zyk2129XUQcW_QNivjW/s640/blogger-image-1509606268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilW0Pkk1AjATaP3akw2NTRq364X4Ye5b12VYlr5S_PpwIsgC95pU90Edk0s8BOlGSWZBVbWSLHktt47DtRkZJphXeM3msTJYRyKLxic4mvHRbrp8nd-Zyk2129XUQcW_QNivjW/s640/blogger-image-1509606268.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><i> </i></font></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Pros (2way Eyebrow Pencil) </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Stronger color opacity</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Long lasting</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Easy to apply </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Nice packaging</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Can be removed with soap and water (No makeup remover needed) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Cons (2way Eyebrow Pencil)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Quite pricey</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Pros (Real Lasting Eyeliner) </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Strong color</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Long lasting </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Easy to apply</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Nice packaging </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Can be removed with soap and water (No makeup remover needed) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">- Perfect for beginners </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Cons (Real Lasting Eyeliner) </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">- Quite Pricey </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-30451138436750553612015-03-09T14:40:00.001+08:002015-04-01T20:04:32.432+08:00Forever 21 Sandals<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJMWxVAU1O3Bs45NEvR7PEJ1TpVLLksykDvkum-HQbR-dygqQzQBrmTlIFbiJtTi3NtDyGSiImT56bIIfZa5xA79RC8ziF00i62FrTa8aiV3c4vK1bVeG8YZq_Hs0hdUDcfLCZ/s640/blogger-image-1359328154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJMWxVAU1O3Bs45NEvR7PEJ1TpVLLksykDvkum-HQbR-dygqQzQBrmTlIFbiJtTi3NtDyGSiImT56bIIfZa5xA79RC8ziF00i62FrTa8aiV3c4vK1bVeG8YZq_Hs0hdUDcfLCZ/s640/blogger-image-1359328154.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Good shoes take you to good places.

I'm just glad that my favorite pizza place, S&R has opened a branch in Festival Supermall. No need to have a S&R Membership card for you to purchase. Hooray for that! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The combo flavor has always been my top choice. It's packed with meat and veggie toppings which makes this pizza flavor my instant favorite. I have tried cheese and pepperoni too but I'd still go with my first love. They also have bacon cheeseburger flavor that I'd like to try on my next visit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">S&R is also selling calzone, chicken, churros, french fries and salad. They are all tempting and sometimes I couldn't help but salivate. But I need to curb my food cravings. I gained a little weight and I really am having a hard time getting rid of the belly fats. So probably, my next visit to S&R would be on my Mom's birthday. That is two months from now. Teehee! </div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-6774859008613097922015-02-23T00:08:00.001+08:002015-08-06T00:32:28.882+08:00K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Dark circles under my eyes have been my problem ever since I started going to college. I took up a pre-medicine course which requires a lot of laboratory assignments and projects. I have had irregular sleeping patterns during those times and sleep was never part of my dictionary. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To cut to the chase, my dark circles got worse. I have had to apply heavy amounts of concealer under my eyes. It was slightly irritating and uncomfortable on my part. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm just glad that I've finally found the right brand of concealer for my panda eyes, K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer. It really pays to have an Instagram account 'cause you can find there almost anything and everything you've been looking for. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have discovered K-Palette through a local celebrity that I've been stalking (not following) on Instagram. haha! She endorses almost all of K-Palette products. Her favorites are the Real Lasting Eyebrow (which I also have), Real Lasting Eyeliner and Zero Kuma Concealer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I got sooo intrigued with the Zero Kuma Concealer 'cause everyone's been raving about it, including the local celebrity that I've been stalking. (I'm just pulling your leg). Haha! I bought shade # 2 'cause it was highly recommended by the SA in Beauty Bar. She's told me that it's the best shade for those who have fair skin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Zero Kuma Concealer costs P795, a bit expensive from other concealer brands out there, but it's a holygrail makeup product that it's worth every penny. A little amount of this concealer goes a long, long way! It does help in concealing my serious dark underye problem and I have noticed a certain glow when I applied it on my face to cover some dark spots. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Plus, it really does stay on my oily face for hours with my favorite face powder. It does not cake unlike the concealers I have tried back in the day. I'd be posting a photo of myself wearing this amazing beauty product, hopefully on my next blog entry. Till next! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Available in all Beauty Bar stores nationwide and Rustan's Makati and Shangri-La. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><br></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Beauty Bar in Metro Manila: </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Rockwell Poweplant </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">New Glorietta, Makati </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Alabang Town Center</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Greenbelt 5</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Century City Mall </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Shangri-La Plaza</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">SM Mall of Asia</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Robinson's Galleria </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Robinson's Manila</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Robinson's Magnolia </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Podium </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Gateway </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Eastwood Mall</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lucky Chinatown Mall </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Trinoma North Mall</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Beauty Bar Provincial Stores: </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Harbor Point Subic</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Paseo de Sta.

Maybelline powder- I have been using this product since college. It's a shine free cake powder that is long wearing and has UV protection. It can stay on my face for good 4-5 hours. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2. Happy Skin Get Cheeky With Me in Summer Fling shade- It's easy to apply and it can give that summer glow on my face. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">3. Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me - Happy Skin lippies are moisturizing and long lasting.

MAC lipstick- My favorite brand of lipstick since forever. Please Me, Rebel and Ruby Woo are my favorite lipstick shades. Rebel and Ruby Woo are perfect for a dinner date or night out with friends. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">5. EOS Lipbalm- It keeps my lips moisturized for hours. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">6.

My mom who adores <i>Pinoy </i>food so much, chose Market Basket, which is located at the Riverpark in Festival Supermall Alabang. According to my research, Market Basket is owned by Hilario "Larry" Cortez of the Chef's Quarter Group. Would you believe that this restaurant genius was a former security guard? He also owns Bossings, Chef Barrel, Kuse and Uncle Cheffy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivF_oCFyV_MYqGvOr3VkiMz0ZZ8C734o11IdwCJS5NmRxs-wAM2ZsVK3IdKx_AztBKZnxMjVOfecMIWsqDjKgVxYohuZvD6RC4QEuz2k1ppkfkyh_TJwKeu63GxUzsFWh4d3ZY/s640/blogger-image-75118886.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivF_oCFyV_MYqGvOr3VkiMz0ZZ8C734o11IdwCJS5NmRxs-wAM2ZsVK3IdKx_AztBKZnxMjVOfecMIWsqDjKgVxYohuZvD6RC4QEuz2k1ppkfkyh_TJwKeu63GxUzsFWh4d3ZY/s640/blogger-image-75118886.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Not only that, the co-owner, Chef Mauro Arjona Jr. was a former dishwasher in a restaurant where Hilario Cortez also worked. Isn't it amazing? Their hardwork really paid off! <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Anyway, Market Basket is like a modern<i> dampa.</i> If you are familiar with it or seafood paluto then you may already know what it is. But since my mom isn't the adventurous type, we just let the restaurant staff handle everything. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7eiBho77QW8zBWpHUW7qGScAp9PHoXSXrXZKRM6umRUV6DZkgSK4SYKtjn_RVxV0spnK2JyMtMMN4bsISuQfYqop3khMkqv7FTJrLy-HpAJSs4l12rbd2IfzEOsr29ELzMLG7/s640/blogger-image-1617558796.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7eiBho77QW8zBWpHUW7qGScAp9PHoXSXrXZKRM6umRUV6DZkgSK4SYKtjn_RVxV0spnK2JyMtMMN4bsISuQfYqop3khMkqv7FTJrLy-HpAJSs4l12rbd2IfzEOsr29ELzMLG7/s640/blogger-image-1617558796.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTFyWsTZk5NlHM702C9OTU1HpP3Km9Naxir_RXeqDxt0NwUEljydV4IHxF-ox4FRyHg_SnUteQHB6nQsQovyJuKwfBh5MIHm_INUYlQE779CQqu0o47JrITy5G3U_FLcMFOMcU/s640/blogger-image--422963448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTFyWsTZk5NlHM702C9OTU1HpP3Km9Naxir_RXeqDxt0NwUEljydV4IHxF-ox4FRyHg_SnUteQHB6nQsQovyJuKwfBh5MIHm_INUYlQE779CQqu0o47JrITy5G3U_FLcMFOMcU/s640/blogger-image--422963448.jpg"></a></div></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">It was definitely a feast.

Anyway, we explored the whole park and I suddenly recalled my favorite childhood movie "Jurassic Park." Humongous dinousaur replicas were all over the area.

It's hard to keep my cool when I'm enraged (<i>As in!)</i>. If we only knew that we've had to pay P350/ea for the entrance tickets, we certainly won't go. But I've had fun.

We checked in 1 day before the main event in a hotel just across SM Clark. The hotel (Tune Hotel) we stayed in was really nice and neat. The room size was pretty small but I didn't mind at all. I am 101% happy and satisfied with the neatness and fresh smelling scent of our hotel room. The a/c was a downside though but good thing there's a ceiling fan to help with the ventilation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Baby brought some <i>baon</i> for our late lunch, a delicious <i>Pinoy </i>food (Bagoong with calamansi and sili and Daing na bangus), that I can eat every single day of my life. Haha! We went out to take a short tour to Clark Airbase for some photo ops right after opening our Valentines gift for each other (<i>Naks, haha!) </i>Then for dinner, we've had steak with rice at Meats and Match. We came back to our hotel room around 9 in the evening, just in time for our favorite <i>teleserye </i>on ABS-CBN. Haha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We slept kind of late but I managed to wake up around 2 in the morning. Actually, I woke up with an upset stomach. I thought I won't make it to the festival but the power of prayers helped me get through it. We freshened up a bit, put our clothes on then left. We stopped by at 7-11 for some cup noodles and coffee to keep us going. We arrived in the area (Air Force City) 3:30 A.M.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7_IoLW-QJ0zfY-IlmunwXuVqtVKsiywJkYXTZ5Bi77-djC9OX29penOpek4vjFeU4OrnnosNV3allDB4ms1UHMCdRDeacBGXCLUSBUOTXsqUoi14WG4CPV8pvXxLkF9TF-tYU/s640/blogger-image--753772408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7_IoLW-QJ0zfY-IlmunwXuVqtVKsiywJkYXTZ5Bi77-djC9OX29penOpek4vjFeU4OrnnosNV3allDB4ms1UHMCdRDeacBGXCLUSBUOTXsqUoi14WG4CPV8pvXxLkF9TF-tYU/s640/blogger-image--753772408.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Tickets were sold for P300. I was supposed to buy the tickets online but my Paypal account doesn't have sufficient funds. Anyway, the organizers started to sell tickets around 4:15. I can barely remember the exact time the program has started but the first activity was the RC UFO Flying. Then it was followed by Skydiving Philippine Flag Jump and the Hare and Hound Hot Air Balloon flights. The Hare and Hound Hot Air Balloon flights was definitely my most favorite part of the program. If my memory serves me right, there were 36 participants (30 international hot air balloons and 6 local hot air balloons). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgek55vrcDRQkG33zhtN-KW-1H09BzrHiQ6QqI1Mb8zRwftD682XcBj5yA1dEd6_iP76IBRfo3NHOdm9iQM1tz6AZnIKVblDVR9yVdJTz_lB5djXhRVQNzoXMoUOy84lOOjHQ0o/s640/blogger-image--1327264773.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgek55vrcDRQkG33zhtN-KW-1H09BzrHiQ6QqI1Mb8zRwftD682XcBj5yA1dEd6_iP76IBRfo3NHOdm9iQM1tz6AZnIKVblDVR9yVdJTz_lB5djXhRVQNzoXMoUOy84lOOjHQ0o/s640/blogger-image--1327264773.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The red octopus from Japan was a love at first sight. The color's fun and eye-catching. Also, the face and shoe-shaped balloon (not on the photo). Unfortunately, the sunflower didn't make it. I don't know exactly what happened but I saw some black smoke coming from it. Glad to know, no one's hurt from the incident. Anyway, right after the Hare and Hound Hot Air Balloon flights, we headed to the aviation area where we saw some legit private planes ready for picture-taking purposes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgk8Z-vvXpF2ANf75Y2i2PV-1V3hgIX13dsXy7LLEzhJOUkrZg6z7BF_2g1io_VFYnr7mOJ42NNo2fCY-0E-23oke_DhKcQEz-ebO7I-W_bIjWmk5YaWAznLZ7XfSt__3bgx0Y/s640/blogger-image-611892493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgk8Z-vvXpF2ANf75Y2i2PV-1V3hgIX13dsXy7LLEzhJOUkrZg6z7BF_2g1io_VFYnr7mOJ42NNo2fCY-0E-23oke_DhKcQEz-ebO7I-W_bIjWmk5YaWAznLZ7XfSt__3bgx0Y/s640/blogger-image-611892493.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I was already feeling tired and sluggish due to lack of sleep so baby and I have decided to take a break and recharge ourselves with food and cold refreshments.

It's the foremost reason why we have become frequent customers of Cafe Mary Grace in Alabang Town Center. There is so much to adore about this restaurant that's why we fell in love with it at the drop of a hat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Cafe Mary Grace's ambiance is quite cozy. I sure do like the handwritten notes from the very pleased customers on top of the dining tables of Cafe Mary Grace. It's very entertaining to read those sweet messages saying how happy they were with the excellent food and service and other high praises for this restaurant. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">... And I couldn't agree more... Cafe Mary Grace is definitely the best place to go to for nice ambiance and first-rate food and service. The Pasta Amatriciana with meatballs is my baby's favorite.

My baby's 34th birthday was definitely a day full of adventures. Right after our short getaway to Poracay Resort in Porac-Pampanga, we went to Capampangan Island in the City of San Fernando for a simple birthday dinner celebration. I was tickled pink when I saw one table at the corner filled with Filipino or "<i>Pinoy</i>" streetfood. Isaw is my all-time favorite! I can finish 10 sticks of isaw in just one sitting. The other two tables were loaded with scrumptious Filipino viands, of course, cooked in Kapampangan way. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As you may already know, Pampanga is the culinary capital of the Philippines. They have the best cooks in the country! Their food is always festive and full of flavors. I'd like to have some of their famous exotic food on my next visit, kamaru (crickets) or betute tugak (stuffed frog). </div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-1619376251414473322015-01-24T23:24:00.001+08:002015-03-29T02:06:16.039+08:00Poracay Resort<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQjKPn5MkDq9E085pBu-L1R0bXRepyeCoeI8kXjQjcMdwN1uNJbdC_dUMySjq2WGpl8CzNkk5VAyXT8mXEo0rfq_XErygSS_whqSmBrqZhR1CjaVOB8RNp7EtMlpt8IwPDiSUo/s640/blogger-image--1415277392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQjKPn5MkDq9E085pBu-L1R0bXRepyeCoeI8kXjQjcMdwN1uNJbdC_dUMySjq2WGpl8CzNkk5VAyXT8mXEo0rfq_XErygSS_whqSmBrqZhR1CjaVOB8RNp7EtMlpt8IwPDiSUo/s640/blogger-image--1415277392.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Poracay Resort is where we went to for my baby's 34th birthday. Since baby can't take a leave off work, we just went to a resort near her place. Porac is just an hour away from the City of San Fernando. We took the Gapan-Olangapo route going to Porac interchange and it was no surprise when we approached the road going to Poracay Resort became extremely rough. As you may already know, Porac was one of the many municipalities in Pampanga greatly devastated by ashfall and lahar from Mt. Pinatubo eruption. The Mt. Pinatubo eruption left tons of sand deposits. The sand deposits became the boundless natural resource of the people of Porac and the symbol to the town's resiliency toward tragedy. Actually, Filipinos are known for being resilient individuals.

As expected, the resort wasn't jam-packed since it was weekday. Before plunging into the pool, we roamed around to check the entire resort. They have kayak and fishing, zipline ride and other fun and exciting activities that you can do with your family and friends. Swimming pools are everywhere. Just make sure to always keep an eye on your little ones though there are lifeguards on duty in the area. It's always better to be safe than sorry! Overall, I liked the place except from the bumpy road we have had to take going there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-11389069126015942112015-01-13T18:46:00.001+08:002015-03-29T01:56:04.838+08:00Pinkberry Alabang Town Center<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLxkmLk-1ZeMiICo03QejvigSr3CSAYrlbEynD18IUEp-A_MNuvMHT9rpAjK5FZYjHzdT8_2lSpBVdQKXzVzbbPcy4HOPBK4pi06EkLV-DXhzQ8-Q9OdD-rnayp1kLOKvDVmq/s640/blogger-image--490950408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLxkmLk-1ZeMiICo03QejvigSr3CSAYrlbEynD18IUEp-A_MNuvMHT9rpAjK5FZYjHzdT8_2lSpBVdQKXzVzbbPcy4HOPBK4pi06EkLV-DXhzQ8-Q9OdD-rnayp1kLOKvDVmq/s640/blogger-image--490950408.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My baby and I just discovered a new place to satiate our fro-yo (frozen yoghurt) cravings, Pinkberry.

My gorgeous Casio Vintage A168 watch is from my ever generous girlfriend. We have got it from an online shop (vanityonlineshop) based in Pampanga. It was a hassle-free transaction. The owner was kind enough to meet up with us despite her busy schedule. The meet up place was at Starbucks Coffee in SM Pampanga. Baby and I arrived there 20 minutes earlier so we could still have time for some refreshments before heading to Skyranch. Vanityonlineshop also sells Instax cameras that are too gorg to resist. In fact, I am saving up money to get the Hello Kitty Limited Edition Instax camera for my 30th birthday. </div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29919261.post-27216517241989229432014-12-10T15:58:00.000+08:002014-12-20T21:08:30.500+08:00Lavish Lashes Studio is my happy place<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Lavish Lashes Studio is definitely one of my happy places. Yeah, I know... I said in one of my blog posts just last month that I won't be having eyelash extensions anymore. But I just had to for some personal reasons. Haha! My eyelash extensions are quite pricey but it's definitely <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">worth every penny. If you want your eyelash extensions to last for a month, you need to take good care of them. Avoid scratching your eyes or putting mascara on your eyelash extensions. It's a big no no! I've been a loyal customer of Lavish Lashes Studio and I'm happy to announce that I'm getting my free fancy look on my next visit. You need to accumulate 10 points for you to avail this freebie.</span></div>

Typhoon Ruby is slowly approaching Metro Manila and is expected to make a landfall in Batangas. Praying for everyone's safety! Anyway, I was in the perfect mood to take some selfies last night. For props, I borrowed my little sister's hat from New Zealand. It's a perfect hat for summer especially for an island getaway. I'm seeing myself wearing a pretty dress (preferably a white v-neck dress), a choker and this hat on a white sand beach with my girlfriend. And yes, some metallic tattoos too for accent! That would be a great beach outfit idea, isn't it? Teehee! </div>Graciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11554529186445201389noreply@blogger.com0
