Kenji Tei Alabang Town Center

Baby and I have agreed to try all the restaurants in our favorite shopping mall in the south, Alabang Town Center, especially the ones we haven't tried before. We have been to a few and mostly, they were Japanese restaurants. Yes, that's how crazy we are for Japanese cuisine! Just yesterday, we headed to Kenji Tei for some ramen and salmon sushi for our late lunch. We have decided to sit near the entrance door so we could take photos without getting the attention of others. 

I had large bowl of Shoyu Ramen (P325) while Baby had Spicy Negi Ramen (P365). My Shoyu Ramen has similar taste with the one I've had in Greenbelt recently. Baby allowed me to have a taste of her ramen and I liked it more. My palette loves anything spicy 'cause it gives out an extra kick and it helps lessen the umay factor. I just wished that they've added up some veggies in the Spicy Negi Ramen. It was all pork which isn't really a good idea especially for health conscious individuals. I liked the salmon sushi(P145) too, but I'd always be a salmon sashimi lover.

My Very Own Tomato Swap Watch

Finally, the long wait is over! I have my very own Tomato Swap watch now. It was a birthday gift from baby. The color's real nice but I'm planning to get a black or gold clock face and some new straps to match. The other color of strap that I have looks fun and pretty too. But sometimes, I am having a hard time pairing it up with my outfits especially with colored and patterned ones. I have no choice but to wear my black G-shock instead. I hope they'd come up with new colors and designs in the near future. Cartoon characters would be an awesome idea.

Nature Republic Mascara

Eyelash extensions have been part of my life for almost 2 years now. However, I have just realized that it isn't practical to spend P550 every month. There were times that I had to go back for retouch (P200) after a week or two. What a waste! That's why, I finally have decided to buy a mascara that would make my lashes appear longer. I've got the Botanical Wonder Mascara from Nature Republic which is indubitably a good buy. It really gives out that long lash effect on my short and sparse eyelashes. AND... It doesn't smudge which is a PLUS points for me! I hate it when a mascara leave smudges on the eye area. It looks a real MESS. I'm going to get the volume effect on my next visit. It looks nice too!

Birks Inspired Sandals

Mandals are so back! I remember owning a few pairs of Birkenstock sandals way back. I've had 3 pairs that come in different colors and styles. Sadly, I don't have any idea where they are now. 

Anyway, I am just happy that my favorite homegrown shoe brand, SEWN Sandals has come up with an idea of creating Birks inspired sandals (ADLER) that are incredibly comfortable to wear. I got the classic color (black) so I could easily pair it up with my plain, colored, and patterned outfits. They also have it in white and matte copper. My Adler sandals definitely are my newfound love!

Happy Skin PH

Makeup is something that I just cannot live without. I am not skittish to admit that my face really looks dry and pale when I am not wearing any makeup. Plus, dark circles around my eyes have been my major problem ever since. I need LOTSA concealer to hide them or else my life is doomed. Haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all my latest make-up loot from a very popular homegrown brand, HAPPY SKIN. Rissa Mananquil-Trillo and Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez are the awesome people behind HAPPY SKIN. They teamed up to create a skin-loving makeup. Now, I know why more and more people are loving this brand 'cause I was able to try them out myself. Happy Skin PH is something to be proud of! In fact, I love it more than my MAC makeup. Will surely add up more shades to my growing Shut Up and Kiss Me lippie collection.
