My Travel Essentials Wishlist From Banggood.com

I love to travel especially when my time and finances permits it. It is my dream to see the beauty of my country and the world. Travelling for me is the best educator there is. It leaves you nothing but new found experiences, knowledge and memories that you can keep as long as you live. 

My only problem when it comes to travelling besides having a hard time getting approved for vacation leaves is that I am not a light packer. I believe I can never go back packing because I can’t go to any long distance trip without bringing all the things that I think is essential for me. I hate the feeling of needing something but I forgot to pack it. I also don’t like the feeling that I forgot something.

Grow Your Own Gourmet Mushrooms with Pot Hed Inc.

When I was growing up, our ancestral house had a huge garden with different kinds of floras and fauna, maintained by my grandma and my aunts. Sometimes some ingredients for our lunch and dinner will come from that garden. Having that in your own home puts some seed of wanting to have greens all around you every time and grow plants and flowers at the comforts of your own home.

When I was little there's a garden and landscaping shop near my school and I would save up and buy flowers in pots and try to grow them at home. Up until college, I would buy flowers whenever we drive down from Tagaytay. But guess what? All those plants eventually died. Unfortunately I am someone who does not have a green thumb! I even killed a cactus! Can you imagine that?!

HwaRoRo Korean Grill Buffet & Restaurant

Ohhh the buffet life... how can you not love it? So many food you can stuff inside your tummy  and just paying for fraction of what you should pay if you're dining ala carte. I recently visited this Korean Buffet and Grill in Tomas Morato called Hwaroro. I am not usually in this area of the metro because it's far from where I live but   my aunt brought us along one Saturday since she's meeting her friends there.

This is the first time I have heard and been to this place, though I am a bit familiar with other  more well-known Korean buffet restaurants. I am not really into Korean food because most them, from my the little knowledge I have of it, ate mostly spicy dishes. What I like though is their chapchae and grilled beef.

ShopBack PH: Shop Online and Get Your Cash Back!

Well if it's not obvious enough you all know how much I love shopping (and window shopping too) but nowadays I mostly do my shopping online. I rarely go to the mall just to browse the racks. If you catch me in the mall it's most likely that I am there doing errands than shopping. With my current work, I do not have the luxury to go malling and on weekdays I would rather rest at home or attend blogging events or hang out with friends than waste time walking around the mall.



That's why I love things that are on the go like online shopping --which I can do with my smartphone wherever and whenever. That's why I am thankful for sites like Lazada, Zalora, Aliexpress, Sephora Philippines, et al because they carry the brands that I would usually shop at without me trekking to the mall.

DevilPlus.com Haul + Review

one of the many perks of living in a country that lies on the equator and in tropics is that though monsoon season is inevitable, most of the time the weather is always sunny than gloomy. So one can always go for a swim in the nearby clubhouse or  go to the nearest beach on any given weekend.

Yep, it is a 365 days of summer where I live. That's why even if it is already the rainy season, I still buy swimwear whenever I see a pair or piece that I really like. I recently had a haul of swimsuits from this online store www.devilplus.com and today I'm going to share with you what I got from this site.

My Fashionmia.com Wishlist

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I had the time to window shop online (been busy for the past few weeks and surfing the net was least of my priorities) and it's one of the things that I love to do when I'm connected to the internet. Even if I don't buy all the things that I see online, I still love keeping them on my wishlist.

And you all probably know by now, if you've been constantly visiting my blog, that there's a couple online stores that I love checking out regularly. Now I think I'm adding a new one to my favorite online shops, introducing Fashionmia.com.

Chimara - Feel Good Kitchen at U.P. Town Center

I think I have tried most of the diet fads that ever existed to achieve better weight. But since I was born with a body that easily retains fat than loses it, my weight have yin-yanged through the years. I am not also able to sustain those diets as well. I read from somewhere that in order to maintain a healthy body or a certain diet, it should be part of your lifestyle.

To be honest I don't know if can ever go vegan or vegetarian. I love meats too much and I know I can't live without eating them. What I also know is that everything done in moderation is good. So what I do is try to balance the ratio of meats and veggies that I eat. But I am open for anything and I love trying new things. Just like trying this new restaurant in U.P. Town Center called Chimara Feel Good Kitchen.

Borough, The Podium x Team Aldous Bloggers Quiz Night!

Last weekend I attended Team Aldous' second Quiz Night event at Borough Bar located at Podium Mall, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. This is my second time to attend a quiz night and after being a part of the  winning team during my first quiz night, you bet that my competitive spirit was present. Of course I wanted to win it with my team so it was game face on!

All those who joined the quiz night were fellow bloggers, some I get to meet for the first time, some I only see online, and some I already know quite well. I was assigned by quiz master and Team Leader of #TeamAldous: Aldous Calubad of www.aldousatetheworld.com to team Titas of Manila with 3 other bloggers I've knownnfor quite some time now because we've already  attended a handful of events together.

Itty Bitty Mini-Skirts

It took me years to accept my petite height, ever since then I wished I would have grown 3-4 inches taller. Unfortunately both sides of my family really don't have that good height gene; both just have average heights and most of the women from both sides of the family are mostly petite.

There's a study that taller people have more advantages than shorter ones and I believe that to be true. For one it is a confidence booster, it's literally being able to stand tall. You're also being noticed easily - always. There's least chance for you being bullied or pushed around. Some jobs also require strict height requirements, so even if you're not that qualified you can sometimes get in.

Feel Like A Girly-Girl with Fashionmia Dresses

What things make you feel like a true girl? Is it wearing make up? Is it constantly wearing dresses? Is it growing your hair long? Is it wearing earrings and other jewelries? Is it when you receive flowers and chocolates?

As for me, I feel the girliest when I wear dresses. Nowadays I rarely wear dresses to work because our work place is  quite cold and I easily shiver. So I always end up donning trousers and blouses. But on weekends, if I have something to do or somewhere go to; a dress is usually my first choice to wear.
