SCOOBYdoo car key chain

i loveeeee my scooby doo car key chain...hiningi ko ito ky sister (biological) and super naaliw me kz i can easily find my car key even if i have a very large bag. Not time consuming  para maghanap ng key kz u just have to palpate scooby doo's head and ready to go na! it serves us a coin purse also...my life is easier with scooby doo..;)

mmmmmm....parang may mali e...ano nga ba?!

goodbye black WEDGE shoes (!?)

im half-heartedly saying goodbye with by 2 or 3 yrs old, black, sling-back, wedge shoes...kz...half hearted pa naman..kinda irks when i walk kz sling back. i used to make apak my pants whenever i walk and there's a part of my feet na na-ccompress..dorsal part (medical term?) hehe...anyways, in case ipamana ko na sya kay inay i still have a picture of her...;(

Rainbow! bow!

while driving home along NLEX (from pampanga)...i enjoyed watching the rainbow..can u see it? haha.very visible no?.. .very peaceful and beautiful...and makes me smile..when was the last time u saw one?

Shopping @ tutuban mall!

Had a blast @ tutuban mall...finally nakabili din ng...

3 dozen hangers (75php for a dozen) for my clothes in neon orange color...

ice tray w/ cover..para hindi macontaminate ng fish and meats. for a very expensive price of 114php of 3 trays (mahal!)

cushionized toilet seat cover (my seat na hindi dapat gamitin ni hubby), 155php

and beaded strap bra...so nice..for only 30php...love to shop @ tutuban because of very cheap price but i guess 168 mall is much cheaper but due to time constraint next time nalang ;)

my fave SHAWARMA!

i supeeeeer like KHALEB Shawarma....i don't know for others ha..they might okray my taste bud. haha.

 

i love their pita bread kz it's malambot and the beef it seemed marinated..yummy..unlike other beef shawarma na napakatigas prang chewing gum na judge (lam nyo un (!?)..and the price very affordable...

for only 49php..i always get the large size kasi...feeling ko bitin ang small..i tried consuming two within the day and hindi naman me nasuya sa katakawan ko..;) others don't like eating shawarma because it is so messy but with their packaging...

winner! not messy and it won't spill...i guess they already studied the likes and dislikes of the customers..go try KHALEB shawarma @ SM moa.

My 2 colleagues with very short eyelashes...

and with not so short eyelashes...

they tried eyelash extensions for only...

here @

and the outcome...

+

CAN U SPOT THE DIFFERENCE ?!

It was so adorable..long and thick eyelashes. It brings glow to their eyes.

 Wonderin y d ako nag-join? mmm..aside that im kuripot with vanity  there are lots of DONT'S.

Bawal matulog ng nkadapa. Bawal basain within 24 hrs meaning no hilamos at all. Bawal mg-swimming and other echos that i can't remember na. And they recommend touch-ups every 2-3weeks. Hassle dava?! and may bayad again un cyempre. Well, im not closing my doors for eyelash extension, i might try it someday (malay natin)..the glamour type( bonggang eyelash extension for a whopping 800php)...or i might study how to apply eyelash extensions for a possible business someday...goodlcuk gg!

Let's Go Yankees!!!

8pm @ NYC
Mood: hmmmm...so-so..

We got the tickets to the Boston Red Sox VS New York Yankees game on Aug 7 at The Yankee Stadium. Dear BF is sooooo excited about this, he's a big fan of Yankees even when he was still in Pinas. I love the game and the team too, players are good looking with cute toochis =) They've won the World Series Championship last year.

Let's Go YANKEES!!!!

P.S: will post game pics right after the game.

Tag! You're it!

8:30pm @ NYC
Mood: Bored..got nothin' to do..

I've been wishing for this watch brand for God knows when, on my 33rd birthday I finally got one for myself.

Tag Heuer New Link Tiger Woods Limited Edition

Limited Edition, only 1000 pieces worldwide.

Quartz movement

Water resistance to 200 meters (660ft).

Sapphire crystal.

 Screw-in crown

Double safety clasp. Black dial.

Ladies - Elegance

Stainless Steel Bracelet

P.S : I was able to afford this because it's 45% off the list price @ Woodbury Common Premium Outlet. And since it's my birthday anyway, i thought i can justify to splurge a little. ( may I explain?) =)

Happy Birthday to me!!! =)

10pm @ NYC
Mood: Happy =)

It was a busy birthday weekend for me.. early Saturday morning friends from Canada came over to freshen up before they tour around the city.

See the gurl making peace sign? That's my BFF Aj with Mic, Emma and Bernard.

We had dinner at Jollibee Woodside. Super miss namin si Jollibee!!! How I wish may Jollibee mascot just like sa Pinas. After dinner they went clubbing, we did not join them 'coz we need to be up early the following day.

Top from Korean store sa may kanto
Leggings : Strawberry
Gladiator Sandals : Enzo Angiolini
Bag : Lacoste
Paper bag : inside is Eva
Sunglass from street vendor along 14th St Union Sq.

Dear bf bought me a gift!!! Then we went to Broadway to see Wicked Show, unfortunately tickets are sold out for the day.It sucks! Our plan B is to watch a movie, we watched SALT and it was good!!!!really good!!!

Then we had dinner at The View restaurant in The Marriott Marquis Hotel right in the heart of Times Square.

"The View is New York's only revolving rooftop restaurant, where the breathtaking skyscraper views are matched only by the restaurant's signature American menu. Express elevators whisk you 48 stories above the city, where you arrive to an unparalleled dining experience…and the revolving floor insures an ever-changing view of the city, making a 360° turn every hour. "

We had drinks before buffet dinner and stayed there for almost 3 hours! We are so aliw sa view. We are like kids guessing the name of the buildings.

They are so smart to think of putting The View on the tissue.

Dear bf got me this for my birthday. My very first LV bag...

the box is just so elegant can't help but post this.

The Eva Clutch.

The short golden shoulder chain of the Eva is perfect for evening use, while the wrist carry is another stylish option. The cross shoulder strap offers a more casual look. The perfect clutch for night or day.

Isn't dear bf the sweetest and the most bonggacious bf ever?

i   L-O-V-E   it!!!! 

and I love him!

new 'SANDO' !!!

Got a new 'sando' for only 90php from quiapo imported overruns (absolutely not from ukay-ukay ;) Can u imagine 90php?! It's a good buy because of the soft tela, cut (longer behind) and print (BE FREE!)...and also love...

the back. Can u see the hole?! Love it..must wear with a tube or inner sando...when to wear it? mmmm....

Zense of Joy

After a loooong and tiring work week, last night hubby and i decided to get a massage for a change instead of watching movie (primary option). We prefer Zense of Joy amongst others because it is affordable for only 400php (70 minutes of massage) with free shower and sauna bath. Well, im sure mas madame pa cheaper na massage/ spa but @ home nako dito e. ;)

They also have other services but i haven't tried it, im kuripot e. someday....haha..

Whenever we tried to visit Zense of Joy hubby is @ the 3rd floor (male area) and me @ the 2nd floor (female area) for the massage but last night we decided to use the couple's room for an additional 160php @ 4th floor. I don't like the couple's room for the reason only that our bed is not side to side. Arte no (!?) That's how i like it ok?! ;) Anyways, we enjoyed (ay este) i enjoyed lang pala our massage (combination of shiatsu/swedish). The stretching, massaging of stress points, the serenity, smell and the well trained masahista. As for hubby, he doesn't appreciate the stretching part. He prefers hilot of the blinds @ quiapo. ;) which is also exceptional. 

After our massage, we returned to our lockers @ male and female area which is really tedious because we still have to take elevators wearing only this ;).
I love Zense of Joy signature massage and competitive price but for the interiors..mmmm..so my rating is 8/10.

Pasalubong

6:30pm NYC

Mood: Tired..Killing time.

My friend Cheryl just arrived here in NYC days ago from Hawaii and she brought me this.

I am sober from this addiction for weeks. After trying not to put any kind of chocolate into my shopping cart and after weeks of not giving in to temptation...I am currently nibbling on my 6th piece of chocolate covered macadamia nuts. It's has 14 pcs in the box, I'll leave 7 pcs for Honey, maybe 5pcs or maybe 3pcs.. =B
I am MC and I am chocoholic.

Honey is back from his 5 days summer vacation at Outer Banks, North Carolina. He got me this fridge magnet. And lotsalotsa kisses!!! I missed my honeypot. =)

This is not a pasalubong, but lately I've been eating lots of this.

What's up with the WRAP???? I am having wrap all week! And I am not even losing wt. =(

My fave song today!

i love the song, lyrics...haaay... if only i could use a wish right now...simply wish to visit Batanes...na walang bagyo! haha.

Airplanes

[Chorus - Hayley Williams]Can we pretend that airplanesIn the night skyAre like shooting starsI could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)Can we pretend that airplanesIn the night skyAre like shooting starsI could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
(B.o.B.- Verse 1)YeahI could use a dream or a genie or a wishTo go back to a place much simpler than thisCause after all the partyingThe smashing and crashingAnd all the glitz and the glam and the fashionAnd after all the pandemonium and all the madnessThere comes a time when you fade to the blacknessWhen you’re staring at that phone in your lapAnd hopin’ but them people never call you backBut that’s just how the story unfoldsYou get another handSoon after you foldAnd when your plans unravel in the sandWhat would you wish for if you had one chance?So airplanes airplanesSorry I’m lateI’m on my waySo don’t close that gateIf I don’t make thatThen I switch my flightAnd I’ll be right back at itBy the end of the night
(Chorus – Hayley Williams)
[B.o.B - Verse 2]YeahYeahSomebody take me back to the daysBefore this was a jobBefore I got paidBefore it ever mattered what I had in my bankYeah back when i was trying to get a tip at SubwayBack when I was rapping for the hell of itBut now days we rapping to stay relevantI’m guessing that if we can make some wishes out of airplanesThen maybe oh maybe I’ll go back to the daysBefore the politics that we call the rap gameAnd back when ain’t nobody listened to my mixtapeAnd back before I tried to cover up my slangBut this is for decaturWhat’s up Bobby RaySo can I get a wish to end the politicsAnd get back to the music that started this shitSo here I standAnd then again i sayI’m hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes.

what is ur favorite perfume (as of dis moment) gals?!

a friend 'bribe' este gave this to me....i love the scent because its very womanly....and it is sarah jessica parker!

Dawn is a fresh and clean fragrance inspired by morning, sunrise and first sunrays. That is a moment when we stop to listen to awakening of nature and look forward to upcoming day. The fragrance was created in cooperation with perfumer Stephen Nilsen of Givaudan, who enriched top notes with a cocktail of citrus aromas with angelica and violet leaves. A heart is composed of orchid, and a drydown of Tahitian vanilla, orris, oakmoss, vetiver and musk. http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Sarah-Jessica-Parker/Dawn-4887.html

The Emba

10:06pm -NYC
mood: still sleepy..cranky

This is The Consulate General of the Philippines in NYC. It's my first time to enter the building, last Monday I was so excited at first to step in to the piece of homeland along 5th Ave. Ang ambiance Pilipinas na Pilipinas, pagpasok mo madaming mapanuring mata. At....ang haba ng pila!!! Oh my gulay!!!!

I did not even bother to take another snap on the other side of the road not after spending almost 5 hours waiting in line just to get my passport renewed. I know it's even worst in DFA Manila and I should be thankful that it's just 5 hours, but hello!?!? we are in USA! pakibilisan naman!ang babagal kumilos naka- slow motion lahat! Nuveh!

I am really cranky. haha!

PMSing = Food Cravings

4pm- NYC
Mood: Excited

It's gonna be "that time of the month"...if I'm not RBCing, I am definitely craving. And so I dragged my friend Meiden last Saturday to Downtown Manhattan to get a taste of the Doughnut at Doughnut Plant featured at the Best Thing I Ever Ate - Food Network Channel. Here's the facade of the store:

It's a really tini-tiny store. They don't have space inside, no wonder they said you have to line up outside to wait for your turn to buy. We did not wait in line, but even if we did, it will still gonna be worth it. My fave was the Blackout Cake doughnut, it's a cake and a doughnut! =), Meiden loved the Creme Brulee'. And I still have 4 more doughnuts in the fridge. =))

And I've been skipping my "kanin" for the past weeks to give way for Steak Fajita... I'm not on a diet because I can finish two of these in one sitting. And it's 490 calories each. hahaha!
