Holiday Fridate: Power Plant - NBS, Healthy Options, Fully Booked x Kinokuniya

  It was a holiday last Friday. I was supposed to stay home and do some work. My husband also had to have the car fixed. But when I woke up, he said it was already fixed as he left early.  So, I changed my plans and asked him to go out.  At first I only wanted to go to Power Plant.  On the way there, we passed by The Oakwood.  The birdcages near the infinity pool were very popular back then when the hotel first opened. I believe you can sit inside while you lounge by the pool. They’re beautiful. But from my view: Metro Manila cable spaghetti! 🤣 We also passed by my old school, Ateneo.  I took photos of the escalator from parking.  I showed the beautiful mood lighting to my friend.  Of course Power Plant thought of making your experience a pleasant one the moment you enter.   I looked up and click! Our first stop was NBS.  I saw this copy of The Art of War and thought how pretty the cover was. There are other classic titles in the same p...

Sunday, Somewhere Lovely Part 3: Mitsukoshi

  Thank you to this week’s top 5 countries - USA 🇺🇸, Norway 🇳🇴, Brazil 🇧🇷, and India 🇮🇳. And Bienvenue mes Seychelles Glow Girls for debuting at #2! My Seychelles 🇸🇨 Glow Girls, your continuous support in the last few days earned you the #19 spot in the All-Time Leaderboard. Thank you! I’d also like to welcome India 🇮🇳 into the Top 5 this week! Thank you for allowing me to keep you company throughout your day!  Now, let’s continue with my lovely Sun-date.  Our first stop after lunch was Nitori. I wanted to buy a cooker.  But of course, I cannot enter Nitori and leave with just a cooker. 😏 Especially when they have a cat collection of dinnerware!  I should’ve bought these.  This is what I got after just 2 aisles. 😁 I needed a lamp. At first I got the one below, but felt that it isn’t bright enough so I switched to the lamp above.  And I also got the cooker that was my main objective for this run. 😆 Next stop was Fully Booked x Kinokuniya ...

Sunday, Somewhere Lovely: Part 2 - Landers and Lunch

  Our next stop was Landers. I’ve been meaning to go for several weeks, but it kept raining and we were busy, too at the atelier.  I was truly disappointed with our trip.  A lot of the freezers and displays were empty. The aisles were filled with old inventory.  It’s probably because they just had their grand annual sale.  Or logistics problems.  But I did see a few interesting items.  Such as these enormous burger buns!  For a while, I contemplated buying them, but thought that I did not want to make buns with a side of patty. 😏 I’ll probably have a hard time finishing that.  Then I found these breakfast ice creams!  Eggo? Apple Jacks? Froot Loops? I cannot wrap my head around it! For context, my generation and those before me didn’t consider cereal as breakfast. We ate bread, pancit (noodles), and rice.  Until now I don’t serve my family cereal for breakfast unless we are really pinched for time.  We normally eat cereal for ...

Sunday, Somewhere Lovely

  I wanted to go on a date on Saturday, but the hubby had work.  Saturday night he said, “Let’s go out tomorrow.” Dates are usually tangled with shopping + errands.  Oh, you know me, Glow Girls. 😏 My BYS Glow Guide Sarah texted me Saturday night saying that my favorite brands were on sale. I told her I’ll try to go the next day.  We went to Watsons, but unfortunately, she was on break. I didn’t want to disturb her so my other girl, Carla, assisted me.  I got a bag full of things that my husband raised his brow at, at first, but when I explained it, he said that works.  I wasn’t able to take photos of the sale items like I originally planned.  Sorry, Glow Girls! I got carried away. 👉🏼👈🏼 Plus we were in a rush because we were going to a few places after my Watsons raid.  I was able to take a photo of this brush I got though. It was on sale, too! In between pampering my hands in the car. Our next stop was KKV! KKV- My Wonderland Wasteland They h...
