In one of my rare visits at Divisoria, I have never thought I would splurge again on #Bootlegos even if it's not in any of my list to do so. I was able to get a Sembo set once more which I got for cheap (130 each, an almost 69PHP savings) and would have gotten more if I didn't remind myself that I just got 9 boxes of Lemon Blocks. I was just browsing on this go to shop my sisters and I frequent and I noticed a box that looked like Sembo but wasn't. It was the right size (it's not too small / large) so I began moving boxes to find more. Unfortunately the boxes were all oddly stacked with other toys that after a long while searching I just got all the unique boxes I could get. I got 3 sets all missing a 4th store. Yes I know, my "OCD" kicks in when I think about it but I've already moved enough toys on display that it would be a waste if all the time I spent moving everything around and I would not buy a piece.  Come Sunday I opened a fe...

On our trip last time to Tagaytay , we found ourselves on a Metro grocery where we didn't expect to find these toys. Unfortunately when we came back home I didn't notice that the first set we got had an incorrect box. Which is why in the days after my supposedly 4 pc set have gone way out of proportion! I have now 4 sets total!! I've sourced the ones I currently have from the Toy Kingdom sale and I've completed the rest of my flower shop via Lazada. Now I'm stuck with a missing gift shop from one of the sets which I unfortunately cannot find yet. Tagaytay is a pain in the ass to go to these days and I'm not so sure I would go out of my way to look for it there without any assurance that the last piece I wanted was still there. Enough with the chatter, let's describe the experience.  The missing gift shop :-( Comparing with my Loz Blocks a year ago, I've noticed a few differences with both. The biggest difference is the blocks ar...

After months of rendering OTs, I finally called it quits. Dealing with everyday stress feels too much and the knowledge of not travelling on my birthday this year makes me want to atleast take a mini break. At my planning stage bf wasn't going to join me, originally he was just going to visit me on a Saturday. Changes happened, he stayed for both my nights and unfortunately we hadn't utilized our stays too much. + Eco Cabin Hotel + This was supposed to be a staycation for me on a commute and also my first solo travel which is kind of funny since I lived in Cavite most of my life. But nevermind that I still want to do this as easy as possible by booking a hotel easy to go to. The location of Eco Cabins is really optimal. It's a few minutes from Rotunda, it's within walking distance of really good restaurants, it's in front of Ayala Serin (granted, you have to take the overpass to cross) and a Colette's is nearby as well. It's also easy to get...

I arrived by Luneta hours earlier but I suddenly had the urge to come in around 330 in hopes that there are less people. I thought that the line outside WAS the only line but as soon as I entered the doors the queue snaked 3x! There are two main problems, 1 the XRAY machine for bags is not working (surprise surprise) and there is only one log book. The museum has been open since last year and I was hoping that they could be more efficient than this. Yes they do let your group in and have one representative but what is stopping them to have more than 1 log book? The all white paint of the interior adds is really pretty to look at. It's clean and modern. I also loved how they've thought of adding ramps on each floor to help even our PWDs and seniors to reach with ease. The airy main hall ensures that it won't feel cramped. Too bad it's not open in the evenings, I wondered the dome would have looked good with proper lighting. I just hope the AC is cranked higher...

HOOQ Image from Lifestyle Hub Tried this for a while but abandoned it eventually. I was able to get a free subscription from it via Globe but never returned. Customer service is supposed to be good, they did reply as soon as I reported an issue but it wasn't resolved until my sub was over. Said issue was the weird subs that was in Community (TV Series) that was often wrong. One episode even had Spanish subs on it! There are also shows that are horrible to watch, it jumps and sometimes look corrupted it felt like you're watching on a pirated CD.  I didn't get to see all of these corrected last time so I might be wrong as of writing.  Price: 149/month Watch for: American TV Series (Community, Powerless) and Pinoy Shows Iflix Been a customer for more than 6 months but have not paid a single cent to date. I just kept on purchasing my rewards from Grab. They have some titles that are also available in Netflix like Brooklyn Nine Nine, My He...

So NBS had a 70% off sale and what I got were not books but a set of minis I have never heard before. I don't have any collection of such but it's my go to gift for Reagan in the form of Nanoblocks. I am not a fan of landmark kits but I do have some affinity with miniatures especially if it involves some tiny houses. This though were in the form of shops and I love it just the same that I had to buy the entire set (there are four of them) in one go.  The sets are easy but it's challenging to assemble. The quality is not perfect that most blocks are hard to push in on each other or remove when needed. I have issues most times at the ceiling (my most hated was the wedding dress shop) when it cracks in the middle and I have to revisit the steps to correct it.  The kits come in bags of pieces and a manual. They also have a few random extras and this small gray device that aids you in removing some blocks that are pressed with each other. The man...
