Red Riding Hood

Press Screening

Trinoma Cinema

Quezon City

Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf? Not Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), whose family lives in the village of Daggerhorn. The villagers offer a truce every full moon to the werewolf. But it was suddenly broken when her older sister was killed by the dreaded werewolf in the middle of the night. The whole village scampered. Valerie's plan of running away with the village's woodcutter, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez) suddenly came into a halt. A shocking revelation became known when famous wolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), came to the village to help kill the beast! Everybody is a suspect as Father Solomon warns the townspeople that the werewolf takes human form by day and hunts at night! Now, the answer to the question- Who is the big, bad wolf might come as a surprise!

Epiphany Global Cuisine Redefined

My visit: March 2, 2011

Epiphany Restaurant

26 N. Domingo St.,

Quezon City

in between Honeywell and Holland Hopia

4877211    09175384823

epiphanycuisine@yahoo.com

I saw Kris Aquino's tweet about a new restaurant in N. Domingo called Epiphany a few weeks back. I saved the address on my phone but was not able to check the place because I had a hard time looking for the exact location. When a friend invited me for a girl's night out, Epiphany was one of the restaurants suggested. I told my friend that we should bring our DHs along for the night. DH has to go with me because I have a hard time driving at night haha Plus, DH would surely like to try this new restaurant. So, what's supposed to be a girl's night out turned out to be a couples night out! 

Check out what we have ordered below. 

Top Blade Steak with Twice Baked Potato PhP475

The Australian steak was supposed to be my order. But since it was served medium rare, I was only able to eat a few slices and one of the baked potatoes. My bad because I didn't inform the waiter that I like my steak well done. When I asked for the steak to be cooked for the second time, sad to say, I still found some blood oozing out of the steak. I ended up eating only the sides of the steak. DH said that steaks are supposed to be cooked medium well. In the end, DH finished the whole order. Oh, the two baked potato were served at room temperature ; (

L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Night Essence... a secret no more!

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you are doing great ; )

First, sorry because I have been delinquent in posting updates on my blog for the past couple of weeks. I know you are very eager for an update. Well, I just made a post about the 2nd Philippine International Pyromusical Competition, you might want to check it out.

Getting on with business, I have been receiving a lot of queries through email and on FaceBook about the secret in maintaining my curls that I decided to make a post about it. People often have a wrong connotation for curly hair. Most people think that it's very hard to maintain which I beg to disagree. I have super fine and limp hair all my life. Ever since I curled my hair back in 2008, my life has changed! I get a lot of compliment and my hair is never dull. I can pull it up in a bun for a sophisticated look, put a hairband ala B in Gossip Girl or just leave my curly locks hanging for sexy, sultry look. I don't even need to comb it so it's good to go every time!

So, what's my secret? It's actually a PhP355 worth of product that could last you for a long, long time... L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Night Essence Leave-in! I know it's a leave in conditioner that's supposedly for night time use but I apply it immediately right after I towel dry my hair in the morning. The effect is gorgeous, bouncy curls!

me and my secret weapon... Total Repair 5 Night Essence- Leave In 150ml PhP355

A bottle goes a long, long way! The content dispenses through a pump. One or two pumps is enough for my bra line hair.
