Ms. Hawaii

This is me back in the days! Haha!  I was chosen to represent the whole 5th grade level in a mini pageant held in school. I was dressed in green grasskirt which was made by my mom's friend, who happens to be a known sewer in our area as well. 

Not everyone gets the opportunity to be part of this kind of competition that is why I am still proud of what I've achieved even if I didn't bag the title. :)

Las Paellas Cafe

Hi guys! How are you all doing? Hope your weekend turned out well. As for me, I've had a nice weekend as usual since I spent it with my mom's side of the family. I just wanted to share with all of you my experience with this restaurant called Las Paellas Cafe in Festival Mall. 

My sister's bf took us to a dinner treat last Tuesday. We watched a movie and had dinner afterwards. It was my first time to eat in Las Paellas Cafe. We got there around 6:20 P.M. 

I've never had this thought of trying it out because the food looks expensive. The menu was handed to me by the waiter right after we were seated and I was surprised that the prices were very affordable. I can barely remember the exact names of the food we've had for dinner but all I can say is that they were all DELICIOSO! 

I liked the garlic spicy mussels and pork chop andaluz. And yes, the caesar salad too! This place warrants another visit from me!

New Pullover

Hi everyone! Christmas is fast approaching. Bazaars are sprouting like mushrooms these days. I've been to Noel Bazaar at the Festival Tent with baby just the other day. There were only few stalls inside since the space is quite limited. I happened to pass by this stall that sells overrun clothes. The pullovers that I saw mostly were gorgeous but this one instantly caught my eye. I got this pullover for only PHP 100.00. A great steal, indeed!

Pullovers are "in" these days. I've been seeing several online shops selling pullovers but they are beyond my budget. I've always been tempted to place an order online but I just don't like the idea of going to the bank to make the payment. You know, It's kind of hassle on my part. That's why I really was happy to get this nice pullover. I didn't think twice of buying it. It's like the ones that I've been seeing in Forever 21 stores. 

As you can all see, it has sequins on it. It only doesn't look good but it's comfy to wear too. It's not thick and heavy so you could basically wear this even when the weather isn't too cool.

Life Changing Experience

All I ever think about is F-O-O-D. It's something that I just can't get rid out of my system. Sometimes I want to suppress my appetite but I just can't. It's too hard when you have great love for food. No wonder why I've gained so much weight during my HS years. I was teased by many because I was fat. But it became one of my motivations to lose weight. I enrolled in an aerobics class and refused to eat anything that's fattening. I've shed off some pounds and I am quite happy with my figure now. It was indeed a life-changing experience for me.

But I have to admit that I am starting to eat a lot again. I've been eating fastfoods lately but I really am trying to control myself. It's hard when eating is really your passion. But whenever I remember the times when people criticized me because of my figure, i can't help but cry sometimes. I have to stop my bad eating habits as early as now because I might regret it later on.

On Being Practical

Who says you need expensive things just to look fashionable? In time of crisis, you really need to know how to be practical. You must know what are your priorities. I was once a brand-conscious type but after I've experienced being broke a few years back, I've come to a realization that I should really start saving up for my future.

I've started to patronize local brands after that. This pair of shoes is from my aunt. She gave this to me on my 28th birthday. It's from Solemate, a local shoe brand that can be purchased at any SM department store. I love their collection. They are so trendy and colorful. I have three pairs of Solemate shoes that come in one design but different colors, of course. They are comfy to wear too. 

New designs are now up for sale. I wish I could grab them all but I know it isn't practical to splurge on things I really don't need. I have to keep in mind what I've just learned about saving up.
