Gifts Galore!

I’d like to share with you MB’s gifts. They’re not necessarily birthday gifts as he still owes me a few occasions. It’s not that he forgets or anything. It’s just that, I couldn’t decide what I want so what he does is he leaves some money for me and when I see something I like for him to give me, I just get some then show them to him when he gets home. I know it’s a kinda weird system but MB isn’t necessarily great with gifts. This works perfectly fine with me.

Jostein Gaarder is one of my favorite authors. These are the only two books that I’m missing in my collection. Well, books that have been released here anyway.

maya and the solitaire mystery, by bitsandtreats

MB bought these last Sunday at 20% off as Powerbooks was on sale.

He also got me this book from Fully Booked. I absolutely need to read faster!

Today at the bazaar, I found these pretty rings and decided that they will be added to MB’s gifts:

These earrings are also gifts:

Finally, I’d like to thank Ms. Baby, Ms. Malou and Ms. Dindin for these fab birthday gifts:

How about you? Does your guy surprise you with gifts? Do you give him a wish list? Or are you like me?

    I love love looooveee those earrings, is that the bazaar at ateneo?

    Im jealous you have time to read books, I'll try to find time.

    I think if MB is okay with that set up, then you're one lucky girl, you get to choose your own gift pa.

    Occasions like birthdays are important, dapat laging may gift, so far It's me whose been asking him.

    @Sugar: di mo na kailangan no! super galing mo na kayang mag makeup!

    @Kitten: ikaw ba naman ang magbazaar na puro purita ang customer hindi ka magkakaron ng time magbasa?

    Si MB nga ang nagsuggest nun!

    @Camgaga: thanks! i can't make MB guess otherwise I'll end up with something i don't like!

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...
