Christmas lunch was spent with my side of the family. And after that, we went and watched a movie in The Podium. Dinner with my family was in Yaku. This restaurant did not disappoint! Only missing was DH, who was home playing on his computer. But nevertheless, we had a great time that night!
Ok, wait before I cause commotion with the title above, the dog pictured below, is well loved and is pretty much spoiled by my cousin. CDC cuddles Bella, the pooch with much affection.
Just in time for the New Year, CDC is wearing a polka dot dress for prosperity. Circles symbolizes coins and coins equals money.

Hmm, I think I'll be wearing stripes on New Year's day haha Swapang ba? Stripes for cold cash lol

A few years back, DH bought this on sale in Duty Free Philippines. I classified it under new find because it was recently given to me still in brand new condition! Certainly, his camera will not be able to fit it this mini tripod- a Canon 350D.

I used it for my instructional video which I will posting later on.

She opened her gifts on Christmas morning ; ) I bought assorted Barbie toy cosmetic as gifts for the girls ages 3 and up. Geez, I can imagine the smile on their faces when they saw the make up kit as they open their gift lol
I bought two nail polish before Christmas. A blue velvet and a yellow one. I wanted to paint my nails in time for Christmas celebration but since I painted my nails red weeks before I ended up with a yellowish nails after removing the red polish.

So, instead of painting my nails, I put it on vacation mode lol Hence the reason for my nude nails.
Rose's scent is captured in this small bottle. I bought four of these and I am planning to give the three bottles to my cousins as holiday gifts. I know, kind of late right? I am hoping I could send the bottles in time before new year though.
Rose water can be used as room/ linen spray, disinfectant- can remove fishy smell on hands. It can also be used as simmering potpourri, hand wash and refreshing spritz!

I am having a cough week!
Yes, you read it right! A cough week is what I am having!
I bought this in Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay but it was made by Ilog Maria- a honeybee farm also found in Tagaytay. I had no voice when I started spraying this inside my mouth but I regained my voice the very next day.
Although, I am still not well, I am happy that I got my voice back!

On the 24th of December, DH and I usually go out on a date for lunch. Noche Buena is usually spent in our home. More often than not, we would dine somewhere in Tagaytay or have buffet lunch in one of the hotels in the metro. But since I did not make any restaurant reservations this year and we wanted to watch Avatar the movie, we ended up having a quick lunch in one of the restaurants in Eastwood Mall.

Our first choice was Cyma, you can never go wrong with this restaurant. The problem was we were there a bit early and so most of their supplies were not yet delivered for the day.
Jhamel Furniture & Handicraft
Baguio City
Metro Market! Market!

I wrote about how excited I was about the new writing desk we bought in Market! Market! last July. After a week, we saw a hairline crack that started to appear on one side in between the Molave and Narra wood. Eventually, the crack became larger- approximately half an inch. And the cracks now runs on three sides. I became bothered that the portion of the wood would just fall off lol
So, DH and I went back and talked to the seller of the writing desk. I showed her the above photo. Mina, the owner, told us that she will repair the table free of charge. The table was picked up last Saturday and by Wednesday, our table was delivered back to us.
DH and I arrived at the Eastwood Mall around 10:30 am. We bought 2 movie tickets for Ultra Cinema 7, the cost of each ticket is PhP400. Then went to Crisostomo for lunch. We came back to the cinema just in time for the 12nn showing.

We had a sweet date today! Merry Christmas ; )

I was at Metro Supermarket yesterday and asked for Mighty Bond to glue a broken Sto. Nino. When asked about the size, it turned out that a new smaller size of 1 gram was available. No questions about it, I bought two of these 1 gram Mighty Bond as I seldom see it in other shops or malls.
The new 1 gram of Mighty Bond is practical and economical. I used to buy the 3 grams but I was not able to use it all up because it dries up quickly and the non clog nozzle simply is just useless. After the second use, you cannot possibly put the cap back on.
I am happy with this new find. It costs just half the price and I might be able to use it all up.

Since I don't know much about driving directions, napilitan silang dalawa na i meet ako sa Il Terrazzo. BR even came from as far as Las Pinas just to meet up with us. She travelled and braved a two hour traffic... atta gurl!
JJ, me and BR
JJ suggested Banapple Pies & Cheesecakes and although I don't like the restaurant that much, I agreed. It's the company of these two that I missed the most anyway.
And so Natalie White won the Sole Survivor title, it should have been Russell Hantz. He played the game instead of being a coattail.

You can see that he was really disappointed with how his fellow contestants voted. He knew the game, played it really well. I guess, his head has gone big and became too arrogant and confident that he could get all the votes he needed.
My yoga mat and my hula hoop have been gathering dust since I don't know when. I have not practiced Bikram yoga in such a long time that I don't know if I can still stretch the way I do. And the hula hoop? I have been meaning to learn how to use it. But apparently, learning is easier said than done. So, can anybody teach me one on one the technique in letting the hula hoop stay on my waist even for a few seconds? lol
Hopefully, next year, I can unroll my mat and have a skinny waist from twirling the hula hoop haha I know, I maybe dreaming but there's no cost in dreaming, right?
