Velvet Rose Lingerie Bridal Shower Registry

When I got married ten years ago, there isn't such a thing as Bridal Shower Registry, only Wedding Registry. My friends have a hard time telling what I wanted because there is no list to look at and guide them.

Here's where Velvet Rose Lingerie comes in. With its ingenious concept of Bridal Shower Registry, planning for a perfect gift for the bride has never been this easier. The most important factor is the bride gets to choose what to receive.

 Hanging satin mid thigh length robe with side pockets & sash (red) PhP 1,490

Velvet Rose Lingerie is a concept store that houses carious intimate pieces from underwear, brassiere, hosiery, lingerie, swimwear, sleepwear to bedroom novelty items.

With Bridal Shower Registry, brides can say goodbye to wrong sizes, duplicate items and worst, gifts which have no use for them at all.

New Find: Seoul Garden Hotpot in Robinsons Galleria

November 4, 2012

Seoul Garden Hotpot
Level 4-04145 EDSA cor. Ortigas Ave.,
Ugong Norte, Quezon City
2345200

Two weekends ago, while strolling around Robinsons Galleria, my family and I spotted a new restaurant called Seoul Garden Hotpot. My love for Korean food must have rub off on my family hahaha Anyway, the price seemed reasonable when we checked the menu so we went inside the restaurant and requested for a table.

 Hotpot Seafood PhP 319

There is a free WiFi so I was able to share a photo on Instagram. We ordered one Hotpot Seafood. There were a lot of ingredients included in the broth - seafood like clams, mussels & shrimps, mushrooms and vegetables too!

All five of us were able to share this order. Of course, we also ordered other items on the menu ; p We gave this one our thumbs of approval!

To find out what else we have ordered, please read after the break...

Robinsons Galleria

When I received several gift certificates from Masatami Shave Ice, I was delighted because I like eating flavored shave ice. I came to know about shave ice when I visited Taipei a couple of years back.

I was given two kinds of gift certificates-Rainbow Hawaiian Shave Ice-The Works and Flavored Shave Ice.

The Works includes snow cap (condense milk), azuki beans and vanilla ice cream while the Flavored Shave Ice has azuki beans, pearls and nata de coco.

New find: Gamja!Gamja! Garlic Potato

While shopping around Robinsons Galleria over a month ago, one of my siblings discovered this new stall in the fast food area called Gamja! Gamja! It sells glazed potato cubes with grated carrots and sesame seeds on top.

Unboxing: SMART Bro Pocket WiFi UNLIMITED Surfing!

It seems that everybody needs to get connected these days. In our home, 3 of us use the service of PLDT MyDSL. We are paying PhP1801.62 a month for a Residential landline with Mega Bundle and a DSL connection. The speed is not enough when all three of us are using it at the same time (one playing  Call of Duty: MW2, another one video streaming and I am blogging) ; p

SMART Bro Pocket WiFi unit PhP4995

The most logical choice is to buy another internet connection through a different service provider. The decision to buy a pocket wifi is for DH to have the PLDT MyDSL all for himself ; p

A set includes SMART Bro device-the unit, USB Data Cable-a charger and an adaptor plug and a User Guide.

SMART Bro is a portable 3G + WiFi router. It has a nationwide coverage which is what we need. This device is manufactured by ZTE.

Alright, so before I went to Singapore for a 3 day getaway, I attended Olay Philippines Grand Swap event last Novemeber 12, 2010. It's a swapping of any empty beauty bar soap box to Olay Age Defying bar for FREE! Be sure to visit their page in FaceBook for the next schedule of swapping!

Swapping was so easy. I applaud the event organizers for having smooth sailing event. I went there as early as 11 am and brought 3 empty boxes of non- P&G beauty soap. One each for me and my parents.  I asked permission if I can take pictures for my blog. I was then asked if I wanted to stay for the rest of the event. Well, of course, I wanted to! Olay people were so kind and generous!

Since it's a Sunday, I didn't expect heavy traffic in Ortigas. I was right but when I reached Robinsons Parking area, there were too many cars that I opted to park in basement 3. 

I was able to immediately locate AA of Summit Media.

My Great Acccessory Sale Finds at Robinsons Galleria!

After going around the top two floors, our energy were winding down but we still have two floors to cover. We headed to my favorite fashionista haven, Accessorize. Going through all the fancy, funky and floral prints made me giddy and forgot about how tired I was from all the walking. Wait? Who says I'm tired. I will never get tired of shopping hahaha

My Sexy Sale Finds at Robinsons Galleria

On level 3 of Robinsons Galleria is Nothing But H2O. I always check their bathing suit that's on sale. And this month is a great way to visit them as the store offers bikinis at 50% off! I know it's rainy season now but you can just stash the swim wear for the next summer. 

But if you are like me, I go to the beach any time of the year! So, shopping now for bikinis is a good thing for me!

I was one of the few lucky bloggers invited on the first day All Out Clearance Sale in Robinsons Galleria. I was excited, of course! It only means one thing- SHOPPING! It's every girl's dream!

Everything is perfect that day! I put on comfy clothes and flat sandals so I can scout each and every store on the list provided. I got a shopping buddy, AC as SALE spotter. She can spot a sale few meters ahead haha And I got my trusted Canon Ixus860IS on hand to capture everything for my blog! Plus, a Robinsons Mall eco bag in yellow (duh? I'm always in fashion lol) if I found a something something that proves to be irresistible.

Robinson's Galleria

A few weeks ago, I saw the longest snake line people made waiting for their turn to order in Manila Scramble's pink stall. I got curious and asked the people manning behind the counter what they were selling. "Scramble, ma'am". This prodded me to ask what a Scramble is. Basically, it's just shaved ice and milk. I cringe when I saw that it's pink! Needless to say, I didn't have to courage to try and taste it. I needed a buddy, who is a "Scramble virgin" like me lol

Blogger Event: Holy Cow! Steak Ranch & American Grill... A wholly fun meeting place!

My event: March 22, 2010

Holy Cow!

Level 3, West Lane

Robinson's Galleria

Dining at Holy Cow! Steak Ranch & American Grill last Monday was the longest dinner I had in a while. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. In fact, it's the exact opposite! I like the tamed and intimate set up Stratigem Integrated Marketing Incorporation has organized for select bloggers, only four of us, and a handful of media practitioner. 

Located right smack upon getting off the escalator on the third floor, Holy Cow! is one restaurant you surely don't want to miss!

The restaurant has a spacious interior. And eventhough it served steaks and other grilled food, I noticed that it has a good exhaust system. I didn't go home smellling like a grilled potato lol

cobb caesar salad regular PhP240

Almost every morning, I ate vegetable salad for breakfast and I could not pass on the opportunity to order one here. The cobb caesar salad was suggested and I was not disappointed. The veggies were crisp and fresh. They didn't scrimp on the ingredients either as you can see in the photo above. A hint of lime was present in the dressing giving the staple caesar salad dressing a new twist!

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak

Ortigas Center, Pasig City

My bff, GT, has long been wanting to try Sizzlin' Pepper Steak. She was so willing to try it out that she even treated me on this lunch date haha

The photo above features the signage placed on top of the table. When the green one is visible, a server will come and take your order or request. Then the server would turn the signage red side up. The concept is cool if the server is attentive. Good thing, we were the only ones eating right at that moment. Although, in our case, it became sort of a habit to just raise a hand to call their attention lol

Except for table runner #3, I bought all other table runners in Greenhills Shopping Center. I purchased table runner #3 in Robinson's Galleria.
