From Bangkok with Love

Mom made an impromptu trip to Bangkok a couple of weeks back. I was supposed to go with her but I had to do a lot of things here and take care of some of the problems at our store. She brought me back a lot of pasalubong:

calbee, 240baon

Calbee is my favorite prawn snack! This version from Thailand is not as salty as the one from Hong Kong. Hmmmm..

hello kitty candies, 240baon

Hello Kitty candies. I think the other one is hard and the other one is chewy.

chiffon blouses from bangkok, bitsandtreats

Chiffon studded blouses. She got 3 so she can get them at a lower price.

oversized button down blouses from bangkok, bitsandtreats

These are oversized button-down shirts which I love! I can’t wait to use them!

sukantha rice crispies, 240baon

Mom also got MB a couple of things. This is Sukantha Rice Crispies.

tong garden honey almonds, 240baon

Mom knows that MB loves munching on almonds and pistachios so she got her this.

Mom will probably go back in March for a business trip. She’s still thinking if she’s going to take me along or if we are going to another country. She did a lot of walking there and I’ve been told by my doctors to take it easy for the next several months so that my poly won’t flare up. We’ll see.  Anyway, thanks mom!

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

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...
