Glow by Lady E

After a very tiring and disappointing week at the Ateneo Great Escape Bazaar, I was able to get some needed R&R with my best friend C at the Ayala Malls. This is C (in a goofy mode). She has been my best friend for 25 years. She was not able to come to my Clinique Birthday Party because she wasn't well that time. So she said that she'll make it up to me somehow. It's very fortunate that our schedules matched and so we went out today. First off, we went to SM to look for luggage. I am planning a trip and I need one as my luggage here is about 14 years old already. I'm scared that it will just fall apart while I'm wheeling it around. = ) Then we had lunch at Sentro. We had: Garlicky adobo and Vegetable kare-kare I also ordered my favorite mango shake (only from Sentro and Fish Out of Water) while she ordered dalanghita juice. After an hour of lunch and chit chat, we went to Michael Kors to buy MB's birthday gift: Thank you MB! I've wanted this to...

Look what arrived last Monday... These are the things inside... Teehee! Of course the cookbooks and the laptop are not included. I finally got my orders from Ilog Maria! I love to cook. I have a food blog at http://www.240baon.blogspot.com/ that's why I have those cookbooks. I order them from a man who sells books in the office. We fondly call him "manong books". We also have a "manong lunch" and a "manong merienda". The books are P75 each. The recipes are quite simple and easy to cook. The only problem is the list of ingredients. There are ingredients that are hard to find/not available here so the key is substitution. Trust me, these books will squeeze out your creativity. In the box are lavender, spearmint and milk & honey soaps, lip balm and a bottle of massage oil. I've only used the milk & honey soap, lip balm and the oil. Let's talk about the soap first. It smells too manly for me. MB loved it. I noticed that my skin was softer...

This is my whole "Paris" loot. I bought shoes from Chesca, a cellphone charm and earrings from SM courtesy of Migraine Boy and a few other things that you already saw. I also bought a blouse from HerBench which was on sale. The "chop-chop" versions next.
