Nail Polish Lovin': Nail Art 1
Thursday is nail polish day! Because of the number coding that we have here in this country, I seldom go out on Thursday lest I want to get caught in a traffic and get a violation if I was still out in the street by 3pm.
A Kanebo makeover at SM Sta Mesa
My visit: July 29, 2010
Kanebo
SM Sta. Mesa
The make over was not planned. My mom and I always make sure to pass by the Kanebo counter to inquire when the next SM 3 day sale would be. The ever pleasing Leslie was at the counter and she warmly greeted us and answer our questions about the sunblocks available.

Training Video Shoot... an experience!
I was invited by my friend, KC, for a training video shoot. Basically, it's an improvement to the storyboard that I am used to because animation will be added during post production. Correct me if I am wrong, story boards are used as a guide for the client to visualized the campaign that the agency is trying to deliver.

Ibayo by Barrio Fiesta

Ibayo by Barrio Fiesta
Bldg. G Unit 7-8
San Miguel by the Bay
Seaside Brgy 76
SM Bay City Central Business Park 1A
Pasay City
09065002782
If you are in my age group, you probably would have heard of Barrio Fiesta, a restaurant frequented by families when special occasions arises. Now, three generations later, brothers Tyrone and Tristan Ongpauco decided to create a bistro style restaurant located in San Miguel by the Bay called IBAYO. Ibayo is a local term for "the next town". The restaurant wanted to have a signature of its own yet it also wanted to retain its classic favorite. Thus, making this a classic Filipino dining experience with a modern twist!
Last Wednesday, I was one of the bloggers who, luckily, was invited to taste Ibayo.
Here are the feast that fellow bloggers and I were able to partake of:
Ibayo Firesticks
This appetizer was served first and it's really good! I love the cheese and the "hot" sauce combined!

New Find: Chicken Charlie

Whenever there is a new restaurant sprouting in Banawe area, you can be sure that it will be caught by DH's eagle eye. He made sure that we will dine in Chicken Charlie once it's construction is finished.
And so last Saturday, after having lunch at the newly opened Icebergs, we went to Chicken Charlie for dinner.
It's quite a small restaurant that can seat approximately 10 people. There are pictures on the wall that could entice you to order more and that's what we did!

Home Improvement: Honeywell Air Cooler
Over a week ago, DH told me that he saw new models of air cooler by Honeywell. Little did I know that he already bought a unit last Wednesday.
Honeywell portable evaporative air cooler CL30XC PhP9, 800
On our initial use, the room was filled with the smell of plastic. I could hardly breathe. Apparently, the air cooler emits the odor. The next day, DH decided to change the water. The water was colored yellow/green...yikes! Good thing, the odor is gone now.
Home Improvement: Turning wine bottle into flower vase
We attended the wedding of DH's cousin last Sunday, July 11, 2010. So many bottle of wines were left over. I thought that maybe the waiters will just be throwing them away. I collected a few, washed and removed the labels and voila! I turned the empty bottles of wine into vases! After all why throw away a AUD300 bottle of wine lol

Quezon City
3326751 3326821
A few Saturdays ago, DH and I have weaved through the side streets of Tomas Morato. We would have opted to dine buffet style in Yakimix. But as usual, Yakimix couldn't entertain walk in customers as early as 5:45pm as they were already full house! We were almost certain that we would end up eating in Iceberg's because we have already given up with the seemingly lack of choices on where to eat in Tomas Morato. When DH suddenly saw the Rocksalt sign. Right then and there, he decided that we should eat there.

Tatami Japanese Restaurant
My visit: June 26, 2010
Tatami Japanese Restaurant
C116 G/F Serendra Building
Fort Bonifacio,
Taguig City
DH and I both love Japanese food! Entering this establishment reminded me of another Japanese restaurant in Trinoma Mall, Haiku. It turned out I was right because they belong to one mother company. What gave me the feeling is the interior and the menu particularly the fruit shake I ordered from Haiku, watermelon-melon shake haha Read my entry about it here.
Now that I am reviewing my blog post on Haiku, it's déjà vu- we ordered the exact same thing lol Well, except for the ebi sushi, DH didn't order that. And I sure do not want to order another watermelon-melon shake. Even after two years, I can still hear the waiter's voice lol

I noticed that my mom hardly put on make up these days, one time, I complimented her because her skin was so radiant even without make up on. I learned that she only used The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Boost as base before applying moisturizer and sunblock that day.

Sally Hansen Extra Strength Hair Remover Lotion
In as much as I would want to show off my armpit, I decided not to post a picture of it haha I don't want you to be closing the page that you are now in.
extra strength in tangerine dream
I swear by Sally Hansen Hair Remover Lotion. It was introduced by my DS to me a couple of years back and has since been using it.
My ahma's still rocking it!
I visited my 95 year old grandmother yesterday and noticed that she still has well manicured nails. I also learned that she still manages to get her pedicure done! She is one rocking grandma!
Pond's Cold Cream Deep Cleanser
I saw my mom using Pond's Cold Cream on her face to remove make up residue while growing up. And now, even with various make up remover in the market, I stick with Pond's because it's already tried and tested by my mom. I don't know why Pond's doesn't market it as a make up remover though. But I can tell you this, it can double as one. It deeply cleanses and removes make up residue.
pond's perfect care PhP100
After attending two events in a day, Real Living Magazine and Nestle Heaven ice cream launch, I remove my make up using Pond's Cold Cream.

Photoshop gone awry: Lorna Tolentino's Flawless ad
Flawless billboard latest ad
Can you spot Lorna T? The picture looks more like Ruffa Gutierrez.
And the LV hand bag is now gone as seen in the latest ad (first picture). The second picture was first released. It seems to me that Louis Vuitton and Flawless had a misunderstanding that Flawless opted to take out the photo of the much coveted prize as shown in the first picture.
