Weekend Food tripping + Trying out Celeteque

 

Weekends are meant for food trip, so for this week here’s what my family and Martin and I had.

  Friday night, my mom ordered her usual favorite at Ambers. It’s been a while since we had Amber’s so this was a treat!

   As for yesterday’s date with M, here’s what we had…

   Dirty Ice cream as we pinoy’s call it! I asked for the mango flavored one, was eating this on our way to Puregold Sucat to have merienda/dinner.

                                                            Purefoods hotdog on stick

                                                 Crab nuggets (which looks like kikiam)

                                                                          3M Pinoy pizza

   3M was truly disappointing and even pricier than Chansel. Lotsa Pizza and Chansel is way better than 3M. They skimped on tomato sauce and the cheese as well. The dough was crunchy too almost like a toasted bread.

                                                              3M supreme pizza flavor

 

   On other things, I’ve been trying to look for Celeteque Brightening facial wash and their brightening skin care products, but I can’t seem to find it which is a bit frustrating. Recently, my face has been oiling up much more too. I tried using the PONDS Gold radiance and it broke me out. So, I’m back with my human nature balancing facial wash. Currently, I’m using the Olay oil minimizing toner, which is half empty already (on my 2nd bottle). A bottle costs P195. It doesn’t do much for controlling the oil, but it helps neutralize the skins moisture. Anyway, I saw the Celetque Oil Control toner at Mercury and bought the small bottle to test it out first.

   The small bottle costs for P70 while the bigger one at P110.75 which is less than a few pesos from the Olay.

   Well, that’s it for our food trip weekend, I’m still craving for a decent pizza though. hehe~

   Any interesting food trip? share okay? :)

   I hope it rains the whole night, keep warm kitties~

 

 

    Till then!

Red Ribbon

 

   Yesterday’s weather felt like summer and I hated it! Before heading home to Martin’s house we went to red ribbon to buy a few pieces of Banana nut crunch, and when Martin saw the Frappes in the menu board he insisted we have this, so we can cool down first. I had the Mocha frappe, all their flavored frappes costs for P85

   The mocha flavor had a very faint taste of it, but it didn’t really matter because I enjoyed my cold frappe!

   I was actually debating whether to order a slice of cake for dessert or this one. Well, obviously I chose this instead. Sadly, it kind of tasted stale for me. But this is one of my favorites from Red Ribbon.

 

  Any favorites from Red Ribbon? I’d love to know them, share okay?

 

   Till then!

A Princess for a day and the Stila palette

 

  Happy weekend folks! I hope you’re all looking forward for the weekend as much as I am! For today’s post is my review / experience with Stila’s Glamour eyes mascara.

  What it claims:

   “A mascara that instantly defines, amplifies, and intensifies to achieve the dramatic look of false lashes.”

  The first day I tried it seemed to have a different result in the second time I applied the mascara. I currently have it on as we speak (technically speaking that is).

•   Consistency is very wet
•   Not waterproof

   As you all know and may have noticed, I have very short / sparse lashes, which makes it hard to find a good mascara that would lengthen my lashes. So far, my favorite would still be the Maybelline cat eyes mascara.

  I have mixed emotions about this, and here’s why.

  This was the first time I tried it. My lashes looked really curled and long and loved it.

   Second time?

                                                                                  Without mascara

                                                                                          With mascara

  It looks weighed down today and I’m not sure why. I will be trying this again tomorrow for tomorrow’s date with my man and see if it would give me the same result today.

   I also played with the palette, but my eye color is washed out with the lighting. I just used my phone camera to take a picture because my digi cam’s battery suddenly died. But anyway, here’s a simple FOTD using the first rowed shadows, lip/cheek color and the all over shimmer

  The colors may not be as obvious, but the red carpet shadow was really pigmented. The cheek and lip color was good, though I liked it better on how it looked as a lip color because I don’t have smooth pores.

                      Definitely the lip color is my favorite among the palette

  I was just home and found a tiara in my sister’s room.

                    Me being a princess for a day, too bad my prince is at work  :(

People will always have to say something about how you look, but I believe that all of us are beautiful, whatever size you may be. The most beautiful part of a woman is her smile, so smile ladies~

 

Till then!

Ensaymada on a Thursday

 

Laguna is our province, which we rarely visit now a days. Aside from the hot springs, one of the few things I love about the place is UPLB’s yogurt. I forgot where exactly, but they make very good local yogurt.

  Around 4-5 pm is merienda (tea time) for us Pinoy’s, and for my merienda today is ensaymada from San Pedro, Laguna. YUM!

                                                                                 Cold ensaymada

                                                       When heated is YUMMIER <3

                                                                Some bits of ham inside

 

                What’s yours? Share okay?

 

       Till then!

Food tripping, Hobbies and Pets

 

It’s the first day of December! And even if it’s a little bit hot, I’m feeling the Christmas spirit more and more.

Yesterday, spent food tripping with my man and boy, it was one food trip that I never ever want to do again. We had late brunch at Mang Inasal, both ordered the Spicy paa which was as usual, rockin’ good! We met around 10am, as our agenda that morning was to decorate his office along with the bosses sister Maita (the designer and dog lover). She owns Baby Moon Lifestyle and Baby Moon for Pets,  frequents at Hobbes and Land, Bonifacio High Street.

  Anyway, after decorating, Martin and I drove to Glorietta to first buy his toys (men and their toys), and watch Happy feet 2. He did mention though that, The Adventures of Tin Tin got good reviews, but I was up for a simple feel good, laugh trip mood that day. So while waiting for the movie, we grabbed a bite at Burger King. I don’t know why I chose the Crispy chicken burger. I ended up taking out the bread and munching the chicken like nuggets, along with my disappointing onion rings.

  For some reason, their onion rings tastes different. The chewy kind of different, weird I know. But that’s how I can best describe their onion rings.

Still, it was filling so we needed to walk it off and visited some stores before heading for our movie. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Holiday or it’s the Christmas shopping rush, there were a lot of people in the mall yesterday.

  I took a photo of the stall were currently, has been having long lines. The tea craze!

                                                                                    GONG CHA 

  A movie is never without some munchies, we had our usual BBQ flavored popcorn from taters, along with ice tea to wash it down.

 

  For dinner, we went for Korean at Mr. Kimbob for Bibimbap and tried out their Tukbogi (rice cakes).

The rice cakes was a disappoint, it was too flimsy. I’ve tasted real korean rice kimchi cakes way back and this doesn’t compare.  

We both had too much to eat, the Bibimbap over did it. We rarely do this these days so it was still a treat for us.

   And for the kid in my man, a sneak peek of what he bought..

A funny looking rabbit at Bio research

  

  And here’s the new model for Knick Knacks

  Vain shots please….

                                                                                           MEW~

 

  Till then!
