Hello 2019!

-

Another year, another attempt to get this blog come back to life. I have a really positive feeling that this time, I'll be able to really post something at least once a month. So, let me start by looking back at how my 2018 went.  Last year has been, well, crazy. The first quarter of 2018 went by so fast. It was full of fun, new places that I got to visit, I allowed new people in my life and I did so many things for things for the first time. I was so grateful to have been part of the knowledge transfer project for the company that I was working for. After the business trip in Australia, I was able to travel to Cebu. Trekked for more than 4 hours. Jumped off waterfalls. It was just a magical quarter for me! Second quarter, was the extreme opposite. All the happy thoughts, all the happy feelz that I collected for the first three months were nothing compared to what I had to go through in this next quarter. I had to drag myself to work. I almost couldn't feel hunger...

Perfect Holiday Drink: Choco Confetti Vodka!

-
Image
Not everyone can take the taste of alcohol, and that's pretty understandable! I only started drinking after I graduated college and I started enjoying it  a bit only years after I had my first sip. This post is not to encourage drinking, I just want to share a mix that I love so much. An alcoholic drink does not have to always taste 'bad' and/or too much! A video was shared to us some time ago and we though it would be nice to re-create the drink that we saw! We had all the ingredients so why the hell not, right? Ever since we discovered this, it instantly became our favorite mix! lol.  What you will need: ♥ Shaker ♥ Ice ♥ Nutella (or any chocolate spread available) ♥ Vodka ♥ Baileys ♥ Sprinkles It's VERY easy to make and VERY easy to drink. lol  In your shaker with lots of ice, youjust have to... Step 1: Pour 2 shot glasses full of vodka Step 2: Pour 1 shot glass full of Baileys Step 3: Add a teaspoon of chocolate spread ...

Palawan Waterpark By Astoria

-
Image
I don't know about you my friends, but me, I am not the adventurous type. I get scared and my knees turn into marshmallows even if I just take a peek from the fourth level of a building. I enjoy theme parks mostly because of the sights and photo ops, not because of the rides.  So when I was informed that as part of the perks of staying in Astoria Palawan I would have the chance to enjoy the waterpark, I was not excited. lol.  I was so sure that I wouldn't enjoy it because in my head, it'd be a scary place for someone like me to enjoy. I assumed that there would be no place for someone who isn't much into adventures like me.   But then, I was greeted by the Palawan Waterpark by Astoria's facade and I instantly felt hopeful that I might actually enjoy it! Wouldn't you feel instantly happy when you see these colors? I was so happy that it wasn't so crowded! Aside from the slides, added feature of this area is that it turns into a wave...

New Hang Out Place: Pixels Hobby Café - Valenzuela

-
Image
The top three things that I look for in a restaurant or cafe are food quality, the price and the ambiance. If the place has good enough food, price is good and has a cozy and/or beautiful ambiance, I'll be visiting more than twice for sure! I have been eyeing Pixels Hobby Café in Valenzuela for few weeks now. We passed by the area one time and my eyes literally popped when I saw how well lit and cozy the cafe looks. I knew I needed to go there and I finally did last Tuesday.  Pixels Hobby Cafe I mean, look at this! Too bad the loft area was occupied (on a Tuesday night!) when we arrived. Would've loved to sit there. Oh well, next time. :) The have enough food selection. From rice meals, pastas, finger food, desserts, coffee, milk tea and group meals options; they have it all! And can you spot the prices? Nothing over P200.00!  We sat down by one of the tables/chairs on this part of th cafe. I love white/clean backdrops and colorful details!  St...

Review: Detail Makeover Matte In Lipstick

-
Image
Whenever I pass by the mall's beauty section, I couldn't help but swatch lipsticks. While I was on my usual swatch fest, I noticed that Detail Make Over's Matte In Lipsticks were on sale. Buy 1 Take 1 for P225. Who was I to say no to that?  The packaging looks pretty slick.  I decided to get Fhaye and Rhea. The beauty assistant was wearing Fhaye and it looked good on her!  When I swatched it at the mall, I waited for it to set and then I tried smudging it. When it did not smudge, I decided to give it a go. The color payoff is impressive, it's on sale and it didn't smudge! So this is how Detail Matte In Fhaye looks like; one application. As you can see, color pay off is impressive. It's pretty pigmented. It isn't tacky and felt lightweight. I decided to put on another layer and it was not a good idea! It accentuated my dry chapped lips and it felt really heavy! Detail Make Over Matte In - Rhea So final thoug...

Where to Stay in Boracay: Hennan Prime

-
Image
There are trips when I wouldn't mind sleeping on a basic bed and facilities, but here are also those times when I want a really good bed and soft sheets. On my last trip to Boracay, we stayed in a basic accommodation for the first 2 nights and for the last night, we stayed in a fancier place -- Hennan Prime. Hennan Prime is located at Station 1 in Boracay. We stayed in one of the Deluxe Rooms with 1 double bed and 1 single bed configuration. My favorite parts of staying in a hotel are the beds and the breakfast buffets! For the bed part, they got my approval. We checked in at Hennan Prime after out island hopping and snorkeling activities. I was so tired so you can just imagine how happy I was to feel the fresh sheets and soft mattress.  I love hotel robes! Makes me feel fancy, comfy and cozy! :D  I love how spacious the toilet and bathroom is!  What I also love is how good the hair blower in the hotel is! It might not be a huge deal for...
