A Much Needed Break

Sorry I haven’t been blogging. I wasn’t feeling well. I’ve had frequent attacks but nothing to worry about. Because of that, MB and I decided to go on a quick getaway in the city.

This is where we will be staying for the next couple of days:

Poor MB was having migraine attacks and so he conked out the minute he hit the bed. I had to go out and buy food as we haven’t had lunch yet.

This is where I’m blogging now:

It opens up to this:

All the tables open up like that. It has a mirror inside.

We haven’t gone far. We’re just at A. Venue Suites. So far, I like it here. I didn’t take a pic of the bathroom as it was ugly. Yeah. It’s tiny and there isn’t enough space for my toiletries. It’s too cramped.

We also don’t have any intentions of eating at the restaurant as we’ve been there and the food was not nice. Maybe they’ve improved but I don’t want to bet my money on it.

Our lunch on the other hand, was from Sicilian. I ordered a Hawaiian Pizza and seafood marinara pasta. The pizza was okay but the pasta was a huge disappointment. Wait, these should be on my other blog – 240 baon + 365 meals! Haha! Well anyway, that’s that. I also got MB one cup of chocolate mint ice cream to make him feel better.

There’s no internet here and I’m using Tatoo. I promise I’ll write some posts and will upload them whenever possible. But I’m pretty sure that there will be regular posts in the coming week. This is a perfect place to blog.

How are you spending your long weekend?

    The place looks pretty nice, I'm surprised that the bathroom is not pretty though, if you didn't post the picture it must be that errr.. not picture worth it huh? hehe.

    How long will you be staying there? There's a Sicilian restaurant at Alphaland but after what you said good thing we haven't eaten there yet. Looking forward for that blog of yours.

    Weekend will be spent at work for me, haha. Do take care E!

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
