T&J Salon: Digiperm and Color Combo (3.28.2015)

Image
I've been a loyal Beauty Brick for so long now (well except for that unfortunate time when my friend and I went to this Ortigas salon for hair color we want to forget forever) that I was really skeptic in going to a new salon. An awfully near branch opened near my condo that convinced me to give it a try. They have an ongoing promo for their opening, a 50% off discount for specific packages. I got the Loreal package that consists of: PHP 1500 Rebond/Digiperm Haircut Keratin There's a lesser version of this but they said that Loreal has a much better effect so I just got that even though I went just because of that 800 peso package.  I was really expecting to be the first customer being early and all, so I was really surprised seeing a lot of women there already. I was even behind a group of three girls I should have overtaken but then I am quite sure I will not hear the end of it. When I was finally called, there were no violet robes available anymore s...

Look what the cat dragged along!

Curiosity got the best of me the other day when I stumbled upon your name on a list of friends I was currently looking at. We are not friends online and I'm fine with that, not to be assumed as bitter or anything. We aren't even friends in real life anymore, that even though some of the people in my FB are people who I just add because I feel too rude to decline, But seeing your face in the roster piqued my interest. So there I was clicking your profile, not knowing what to expect. What do you know, you're already married! I was curious wanting to know when it was or who it was on the photo with you but didn't go as far as for me to actually knowing. I was just there sleepy, looking at your faces, looking for a familiar feeling. When I was done (probably took a minute for the surprise to sink in), I pressed back to my own homepage, only to realize that whatever feelings I expect is just not there anymore. No hate, no jealousy at all. All those years made me forget, ...

Yexel's Toy Museum Las Pinas (1.24.2015)

Image
I heard of the toy museum just in time for my visit to Reagan's turf. It was very convenient too, because it is a stone's throw away from their house. If you so happen to look for it, it is just a walkable distance at the back of SM Southmall. You might catch a tricycle so you don't need to ask as well. You won't miss it too, just look at the facade: It's 300 entrance fee per head, I have no idea how it would fare for kids. Near the entrance you will be greeted by this family: Too bad the hair of Lisa was already broken.  We were told that some of the display were commissioned while some are bought. By that alone you will know why the entrance fee is quite expensive. The museum is a mix of toys in glass cabinets and those large toy store worthy displays that obviously are worth a fortune like this one: It would have been nice though if the displays are so far apart on their own genre and without this unsightly glass lines. This display dow...

TK: Red Velvet Bar + Bonus: Sweetest Mistake Cookies

Image
This is officially my 5th Bake. I've done two successful cookies so far, and two brownies as well. Both were appreciated wonderfully and I'm starting to believe I couldn't do anything wrong So in time for Valentine's last Friday, I dedicated my Thursday evening in baking Red Velvet Bars. It looked amazing on Pinterest : I believed I followed everything on the actual cake so I've now put it in the oven hoping for the best. Now on to the frosting. I've tried working with cream cheese last year and it wasn't a pretty sight. It was one of those abominables I created all because I don't have tools. Now that I have a hand mixer, I suppose I could do something good. However, instead of the expected frosting, I ended up with cream cheese soup. The problems I think with what I made were: 1. Too much confectionary sugar (I would admit this stupidity unfortunately) 2. Too much blending. In the end my frosting have become too loose fo...

Where have Asus Gone in Megamall?

Heavens, I love my new keyboard. I missed you so bad laptop! It was last week when I got my laptop spilled over. I was pouring water to my glass only to realize too late that I was pouring it on my keyboard instead. Boyfriend told me to put it with rice but I couldn't since what I have are red and brown rice. It would be such a waste. I did tipped it over to dry but unfortunately when I opened it a day or two later, it had important keys that weren't working. I didn't realize it at first but it wasn't until I can't get in using my password and it kept on saying it was incorrect. Ok then, my letter L doesn't work. Dang it. My sister taught me a trick of using an onboard keyboard upon login so I was able to and lo and behold a lot of keys does not work anymore. Alt Tab, numbers, letters O and P, amongst others. So for my last resort I started calling Asus. Now the problem is, their site have a number that doesn't work. I went there today looking for the...

The Sto. Papa Experience

Image
Nope I wasn't there. But sitting idly on my sofa make me realize things. Like how his smile was awfully contagious. How, in spite of rain and hours of standing people are actually waiting. For a few days, a lot of Pinoys have actually missed their telenovelas and their nonsensensical weekend rituals for a glimpse of the Santo Papa. I'm not even Catholic. And never have I intended to go but in all honesty, man, this Pope is truly charming. And for someone to charm me over the TV, that's a first. But you know what have drawn me so much in watching him when I can? He's f*cking* fearless. Not from the Phils. but probably my most favorite pic of his. He didn't notice he's wearing a rosary from what was thrown from the crowd. When he came, it was night, I was already at home and eating my pita dinner. I was right on time seeing his very white pope mobile cruising through the limited lights of our street littered by people on both sides screaming. I don...
