Wherever you go, a mall is almost always a place where you can find a multitude of things to do all under one roof. SM Seaside City Cebu, SM Supermalls' latest addition to its growing roster of malls, is no different.
<p>

Our family has never been to Cebu. Oh! We have seen the photos and heard the stories of how Cebu is so much better than Metro Manila -- cleaner, greener, more orderly... plus there are a lot of sights to see and natural wonders to behold. If we were to be whisked off to a local destination this very moment I know I would pick Cebu because I find that it has the right balance of urban and rural elements. I am really a city girl at heart so I need civilization lol! Of course, a visit to SM Seaside City Cebu -- the biggest mall in the Vis-Min area, would most definitely be part of our itinerary.

So far I have only seen photos of SM Seaside City Cebu but wow, I am really impressed by everything so far! SM Seaside City Cebu's design seemed a lot different from other SM Supermalls I have been to.

The Foodcourt looks so inviting! I wonder what food stalls will be there. Will it be the same as the ones here in SM Supermalls here in Metro Manila? Or will there be more food purveyors unique in Cebu?

I am especially impressed by The Bowling Center at SM Seaside City Cebu. It's probably one of the most high-tech and state-of-the-art bowling centers around here in our country. It redefines bowling through its revolutionary system BES-X, which takes a photo of the bowler from the LCD console and morphs it into digital animations of fun characters on screen as they bowl. There are a lot of options so you can personalize the game settings to your liking. The Bowling Center has 16 lanes as well as the most up-to-date scoring system which both amateur and competitive bowlers will enjoy. Personally I think bowling is a great way to spend time as a family rather than spending too much time tinkering with our gadgets! Unplugging and engaging in a wholesome physical activity like bowling, something we can all do together, is definitely a much better family leisure and entertainment alternative.

I was perfectly content with colorless lip balm. It took one instance of having made up my entire face and then forgetting to put on lipstick to make me realize just how lip color seals the deal when it comes to your look.

Anyway Maybelline Philippines sent a few shades of their latest lip color product, Maybelline Lip Gradation, for review some days ago.<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DvxTmG5H7VQ/VuV8ruxlhAI/AAAAAAAA-TE/VPYjdsG8ZUkXSddU5tXHpCGXh3nNOE8RQ/s1600/maybelline_lip_gradation2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DvxTmG5H7VQ/VuV8ruxlhAI/AAAAAAAA-TE/VPYjdsG8ZUkXSddU5tXHpCGXh3nNOE8RQ/s640/maybelline_lip_gradation2.jpg" width="640" alt="Maybelline Lip Gradation Review" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a dual-ended lip product with a sponge tip on one end and lip color on the other end.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I got three shades to try: Mauve 1, Pink 1, and Fuschia 1. Wow, the level of pigmentation is amazing!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9dS2-IriwcE/VuV8vU9zvrI/AAAAAAAA-TI/wcHrvI9hP6swiPLIwUaMEgz6fVM8nw6Sw/s1600/maybelline_lip_gradation4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9dS2-IriwcE/VuV8vU9zvrI/AAAAAAAA-TI/wcHrvI9hP6swiPLIwUaMEgz6fVM8nw6Sw/s640/maybelline_lip_gradation4.jpg" width="640" alt="Maybelline Lip Gradation Review" /></a></div>
Maybelline Lip Gradation is a actually a matte lipstick which you can apply several ways thanks to the sponge blender tip. This is Mauve 1. You can do it Korean gradient style and just apply color to the center of the lips and blend outwards using the sponge tip.<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j5vu0molSOg/VuV8vWK1KNI/AAAAAAAA-TQ/v0ER3jOLYQEm0sjGerutWFL7xzVawl_UQ/s1600/maybelline_lip_gradation5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j5vu0molSOg/VuV8vWK1KNI/AAAAAAAA-TQ/v0ER3jOLYQEm0sjGerutWFL7xzVawl_UQ/s1600/maybelline_lip_gradation5.jpg" alt="Maybelline Lip Gradation Review" /></a></div>

This is Pink 1. I love how the lipstick glides on smoothly despite being matte.</div>

I found Fuschia 1 to be surprisingly likeable. I normally steer clear of hot pink or fuschia but I like this one! If you want full on matte lips just use the lipstick as you would any other normal lipstick.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks surprisingly natural indoors.</div>
<p>
What I like about Maybelline Lip Gradation:
<ul>
<li>They're all highly pigmented. As in wow, one swipe and you get a load of intense color!</li>
<li>I love how versatile they are, you can wear them in so many ways.</li>
<li>They glide on smoothly.</li>
<li>They're not drying unlike other matte lip products I've tried.</li>
<li>They're not hard to remove.</li>
<li>Price is very reasonable at P399 per tube.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Downside? It will be a challenge to use this product on severely chapped and dry lips. I recommend using a lip scrub and moisturizing treatment (lip balm, lip mask, etc.) before using this product for best results.
<p>
Maybelline Lip Gradation is available at P399 per tube at leading department stores and drugstores nationwide.

Sweetea's serves all natural brewed full leaf teas.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ou1jXzhy25A/VuQtFtoqvkI/AAAAAAAA-Rs/Nt5VVsO7O6gvxK9FE3EyINDZ39BsSvG9A/s1600/sweetea_by_daude1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ou1jXzhy25A/VuQtFtoqvkI/AAAAAAAA-Rs/Nt5VVsO7O6gvxK9FE3EyINDZ39BsSvG9A/s1600/sweetea_by_daude1.jpg" alt="Sweetea's SM The Block" /></a></div>
Sweetea's interiors are as unique as the tea blends they serve. The seats are inspired by the rice terraces of Benguet. You can find your own corner and just get cozy.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-niD19ojEYQE/VuQxLBZbrzI/AAAAAAAA-SU/KwaBPBdsKGMf-1WeatQu9ZQM4Nj3nqCNg/s1600/sweetea_by_daude2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-niD19ojEYQE/VuQxLBZbrzI/AAAAAAAA-SU/KwaBPBdsKGMf-1WeatQu9ZQM4Nj3nqCNg/s640/sweetea_by_daude2.jpg" width="640" alt="Sweetea's SM The Block" /></a></div>
What sets Sweetea's apart from other tea places is the fact that you can create your own one-of-a-kind drink in three (3) simple steps:
<ol>
<li>Choose your craft tea - I picked Maple Walnut (P130)</li>
<li>Choose your style - I picked Icy and Milky (+P20)</li>
<li>Add-ons - I had Banana Fruit Bombs (+P25)</li>
</ol>
<p>
My drink's total cost? P175. You can customize as much as you want -- make it Slushy, Juicy, and Zesty? Go! Want Flavors, Fruit Bombs, and Nata De Coco? Yes you can have them all.
<p>
Can't decide? You can just have a Sweetea (P60) which you can make Milky (+P20) or Slushy (+P25). Or you can order Coffee (P95) which you can also make either Milky or Slushy.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took of the lid because I wanted to see what my drink was like. I even caught a fruit bomb with my straw. Even the fruit bombs are all natural as they're made of seaweed and real fruit juices and extracts.</div>

I ordered some pastries to go with my tea -- a <b>Bacon and Cheese Scone (P110, above right)</b> and a <b>Buttermilk Scone (P90, above left)</b>. Both are really yummy! Slightly sweet and slightly salty at the same time.<br />

For something more unique, Sweetea's Wafingka (Waffle + Bibingka). It's a waffle filled with cheese, salted egg, and coconut. It's pretty amazing too.<br />

I liked how my tea was so light and refreshing all throughout. It didn't feel heavy at all, unlike some of the other milky tea drinks I've tried in the past. Next time I'll try one of the fruity blends. :)
<p>
You can also purchase loose leaf teas, teapots, tea cups, and other tea paraphernalia at Sweetea's so you can recreate the experience at home.<p>
Sweetea's is located at the ground level of SM The Block, North EDSA.

In fact I've blogged about it a couple of times in the past. Food is always good and it's the home of my most favorite salad in the world, Roka Salata. I first tried Cyma back in 2009. Imagine my surprise when 6 years later, I was invited to the launch of their new menu! :D
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f9g7u8w6YLY/VuA6wauNB6I/AAAAAAAA-Qo/W04XsIqil-c/s1600/cyma_new_menu1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f9g7u8w6YLY/VuA6wauNB6I/AAAAAAAA-Qo/W04XsIqil-c/s1600/cyma_new_menu1.jpg" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
Chef Robby Goco had a lot in store for us -- 7 new appetizers, 5 new main dishes, and 2 new desserts. He made it clear that what he is serving is progressive Greek cuisine, a fusion of Greek flavors and cooking styles with Filipino tastes and preferences. Anyway, we started off with the Krii Vegetarian Sampler Mezedes, a vegetarian appetizer which consisted of olives and feta, roasted peppers, watermelon and feta, roasted beets <i>skordalia </i>(a thick puree made of crushed garlic, potatoes, olive oil, etc) and dolmadakia (rice mixture wrapped in leaves). It was surprisingly good. If all vegetarian dishes are this yummy and refreshing I'd gladly forego meat. I especially enjoyed the dolmadakia, which was kind of like a savory <i>suman</i>.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qKd2p7eWJTg/VuA6wNEQiqI/AAAAAAAA-Qk/u9JLFmt2_ns/s1600/cyma_new_menu2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qKd2p7eWJTg/VuA6wNEQiqI/AAAAAAAA-Qk/u9JLFmt2_ns/s1600/cyma_new_menu2.jpg" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
Then we had Dips with Homemade Pita. OMG, the five dips were all soooo good! There was classic tzatziki (yogurt and cucumbers), pine nut melitzonalata (eggplant-based dip), htipiti (red pepper and feta cheese), taramosalata (carp or cod roe -- no wonder it tasted like fish!), and Kalamata hummus (olive-based hummus). I can't make up my mind which one I like best, they're all really delicious!<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dakos is crunchy Cretan rusk topped with tomato, feta, capers, oregano, and EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil). It's like levelled up bruschetta. It was surprisingly wonderful, I had to control myself from eating more than two pieces lol.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bzi5snEtf8k/VuA6zFJoswI/AAAAAAAA-Qs/_BW0Sam-41Y/s1600/cyma_new_menu4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bzi5snEtf8k/VuA6zFJoswI/AAAAAAAA-Qs/_BW0Sam-41Y/s640/cyma_new_menu4.jpg" width="640" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
I initially thought Mezedes Tis Oras was one of the main dishes but no, it was still a starter! Baby scallops, calamari, octopus, shrimp, and clams in garlic, herb EVOO, lemon, and Greek oregano make up this hearty dish. I love how flavorful all the seafood was.<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ehiAADg9N98/VuA6zdHUhuI/AAAAAAAA-Qw/e43zM7El25A/s1600/cyma_new_menu5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ehiAADg9N98/VuA6zdHUhuI/AAAAAAAA-Qw/e43zM7El25A/s1600/cyma_new_menu5.jpg" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
Mezedes Tis Oras is served with EVOO toast on the side. Wow it may look like ordinary toasted bread but these are so crunchy, chewy, and tasty all at the same time that they're addictive.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PgY1MKjLrK8/VuA609iLHYI/AAAAAAAA-Q0/LAZN0Ntn0Sc/s1600/cyma_new_menu6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PgY1MKjLrK8/VuA609iLHYI/AAAAAAAA-Q0/LAZN0Ntn0Sc/s640/cyma_new_menu6.jpg" width="640" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
Oh my... one of my favorite starters at Cyma has always been their Saganaki or flaming cheese. This is Saganaki with Figs. Fried kefalotiri (Greek salty yellow cheese) is topped with peppered fig jam and like the previous dish, also served with EVOO toast on the side. The fig jam makes the smokey melty cheese buttery, toasty, and sweet all at the same time. It's sooooo good, I swear I can finish an order by myself.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OnSpr4R5vHU/VuA6387o8pI/AAAAAAAA-Q4/mHclpdiEu_o/s1600/cyma_new_menu7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OnSpr4R5vHU/VuA6387o8pI/AAAAAAAA-Q4/mHclpdiEu_o/s640/cyma_new_menu7.jpg" width="640" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
I can probably live on Cyma's Roka Salata forever so from the start I doubted if the new salads could live up to it. This is the Watercress Salad, it's comprised of fresh watercress, bleu cheese, sweet pears, walnuts, and romaine in summer herb vinaigrette. It's actually quite refreshing but Roka Salata still has my vote.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ba6ASri89rU/VuA6366GIHI/AAAAAAAA-Q8/6MBb3kPxyD8/s1600/cyma_new_menu8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ba6ASri89rU/VuA6366GIHI/AAAAAAAA-Q8/6MBb3kPxyD8/s640/cyma_new_menu8.jpg" width="640" alt="Cyma Greek Taverna New Menu" /></a></div>
This is the Fried Calamari and Black Rice Salad. It's tomato, cucumber, parsley, sultanas, and walnuts in red onion pomegranate dressing. The way to eat it is to mix it all up so that the rice and the parsley get spread around. Like the Watercress Salad, this is really refreshing and quite perfect for the hot summer months. Yep, still Roka Salata for me hahaha!
<p>
I had to go somewhere and so I had to cut my meal short (boo!). I missed the 5 main dishes (they had Roasted Alaskan King Crab Legs!!!) and 2 desserts (darn I was really curious about the Olive Oil Cake!). Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll be back in Cyma soon since their Robinsons Magnolia branch is in my side of Metro Manila.
<p>
Thank you Chef Robby Goco for the lovely lunch!

Championing women and their ability to achieve limitless possibilities, the number one conditioner brand in the Philippines further empowers them to go beyond beautiful and leave a mark in the world.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tWqZimFy6RE/VuBGLLXAUUI/AAAAAAAA-RQ/klbbnBq4VyM/s1600/creamsilk_modern_filipinas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tWqZimFy6RE/VuBGLLXAUUI/AAAAAAAA-RQ/klbbnBq4VyM/s1600/creamsilk_modern_filipinas.jpg" /></a></div>
Earlier this year, Cream Silk launched Transformations, its latest campaign, with five new ambassadors who perfectly embody the Modern Filipina, and who have all undergone personal journeys of change. Leading the way in inspiring women are Nadine Lustre, transformed to light up more screens; Coleen Garcia, transformed to conquer new heights; Julie Anne San Jose, transformed to own
the spotlight; Yassi Pressman, transformed to take the lead; and Rachelle Ann Go, transformed to take on the world stage.
<p>
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D-SEXLaRduo" width="560"></iframe></center>
To kick off the celebrations, Cream Silk unveiled a music video honoring these Modern Filipinas, as they were serenaded with a reworked rendition of the popular tune, “Balisong” by OPM icon Rico Blanco. The music video was made to remind women of the true power of transformation, as embodied by the new Cream Silk ambassadors.
<p>
In the video, each of these women relived their own incredibly inspiring transformation stories. Their dedication, hard work, and success are proof that there no limits to what a Modern Filipina can achieve, once she has transformed to go beyond beautiful.
<p>
To further highlight the women who inspire others every day with their talent, beauty, and heart, Blanco went as far as adding new lyrics to his beloved song to express what he thinks of the Modern Filipina:
<p>
“You are the sun in my skies,<br>
you are the days in my nights.<br>
You are the reason I smile,<br>
you put the worth in my while.”
<p>
More than anything, however, the video is a tribute to laud every Modern Filipina whose beauty inspires, creates, and makes a mark in the world.
<p>
Personally I love how their hair went from drab to fab in the video! What do you think?

I've tried the original version of the <a href="http://animetric.blogspot.com/2015/03/belo-intensive-whitening-kojic-acid-tranexamic-acid.html" target="out">Belo Intensive Whitening Bar</a> and I can vouch for its effectiveness in evening out my skin tone. It's able to lighten darker areas so that my skin wouldn't look multi-shaded. The new Belo Intensive Whitening Bar is an exfoliating variant with lemon scrubs so aside from lightening, it can actually slough away dead skin cells for skin that's brighter and more radiant.
<p>

Anyhow, today I'm reviewing the <b>Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream SPF 50 PA+++ (P349.75)</b>. This is my 32nd BB Cream review and it's a local homegrown brand at that.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nSnRNir92V4/Vt7QMURmbcI/AAAAAAAA-Ps/hn1Vv1x_EmQ/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nSnRNir92V4/Vt7QMURmbcI/AAAAAAAA-Ps/hn1Vv1x_EmQ/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review3.jpg" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
Okay I must admit when I read on the tube that it's Medium to Deep, I was afraid it was going to be too dark for me.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_sQ7ZKytjMA/Vt7QPuBoRDI/AAAAAAAA-P4/sD-cREqKXeU/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_sQ7ZKytjMA/Vt7QPuBoRDI/AAAAAAAA-P4/sD-cREqKXeU/s640/belo_bb_cream_review4.jpg" width="640" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it's surprisingly not dark! I noticed the lightweight and water-like texture right away.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFXF2xeOzwA/Vt7QQQ9MHnI/AAAAAAAA-QA/FTYy8Wj_T_k/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFXF2xeOzwA/Vt7QQQ9MHnI/AAAAAAAA-QA/FTYy8Wj_T_k/s640/belo_bb_cream_review5.jpg" width="640" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I spread it onto my skin I confirmed that it's not dark at all, not even medium lol.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bD_Ox6gQ7v0/Vt7QQce0FAI/AAAAAAAA-P8/ERR-gZ0iboo/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bD_Ox6gQ7v0/Vt7QQce0FAI/AAAAAAAA-P8/ERR-gZ0iboo/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review6.jpg" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
I wasted no time in applying it all over my face. I like how lightweight it is. It dries to a natural matte finish. I like it.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfXBMgotAbs/Vt7QRXUz6pI/AAAAAAAA-QE/kXpaqZ6T_vk/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfXBMgotAbs/Vt7QRXUz6pI/AAAAAAAA-QE/kXpaqZ6T_vk/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review7.jpg" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
I'm surprised I can use Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream without having to do my eyebrows, put on eyeliner, and what not. I will need concealer though because it can't quite cover my dark undereye circles (I've been super sleep-deprived these past few days). It did a good job concealing some minor facial redness though. Other BB Creams end up overpowering my features so I really have to define my eyes and lips at least.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T3J9aQOS6js/Vt7QSLDoLQI/AAAAAAAA-QI/CMNJqkZnaWo/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T3J9aQOS6js/Vt7QSLDoLQI/AAAAAAAA-QI/CMNJqkZnaWo/s1600/belo_bb_cream_review8.jpg" alt="Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream" /></a></div>
This is how it looks under natural light. I like how it infuses my pale skin with just a bit of healthy-looking color. I'm impressed that for a high-SPF product, there's no white cast.
<p>
What I like about Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream:
<ul>
<li>I love its lightweight and water-like texture. It's pretty easy to spread all over your face.</li>
<li>It's non-sticky and non-greasy.</li>
<li>It dries to a natural-looking matte finish.</li>
<li>The shade is perfect for me!</li>
<li>It's got SPF 50 PA+++ so it gives optimal sun protection.</li>
<li>My skin still feels like skin after application.</li>
<li>I can use it alone, no need for other makeup products (well except maybe concealer).</li>
<li>It's formulated with Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid so with extended use, it can improve skin clarity and reduce the appearance of stubborn dark spots.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Downside? I'm not a fan of the scent, thank goodness it fades fast. Also, the coverage is on the light side so you may need concealer if you have blemishes or really dark spots you need to hide. I would probably use this as a daily facial sunscreen since it has a lot of other benefits aside from the SPF 50.
<p>
Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream is available in all leading department stores, supermarkets, and drugstores nationwide for P349.75 per tube. You can grab a free full-sized sample from <a href="http://www.sampleroom.ph target="out">Sample Room</a> until stocks last!

Just thinking of the traffic is enough to dampen whatever enthusiasm I might have. Anyway, when I got the invitation to a spa day with Leaders Insolution, I was pretty stoked. Skincare is like a religion to me, I can forego everything beauty-related except for skincare. No makeup? Sure, haha! But I must have my skincare routine and Leaders Insolution is a big part of it.

The <a href="http://animetric.blogspot.com/2015/04/leaders-coconut-bio-mask-review.html" target="out">Leaders Coconut Bio Mask</a> was the first ever Leaders product I've tried. It was actually what convinced me to incorporate masks into my skincare regimen. It's still my favorite Leaders mask to date.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently bought a Leaders Aqua Dressing mask from Zalora -- will try it and review it soon!</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKR_Pv04Gx4/Vt1-x331OgI/AAAAAAAA-O0/KZElGeuFg3Y/s1600/leaders_insolution_philippines4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKR_Pv04Gx4/Vt1-x331OgI/AAAAAAAA-O0/KZElGeuFg3Y/s640/leaders_insolution_philippines4.jpg" width="640" alt="Leaders Vita Bright Skin Renewal Mask" /></a></div>
Anyhow during the event we were asked to pick a facial mask to try and I went for the <b>Leaders Vita Bright Skin Renewal Mask (P98)</b>. I had a work-related event to attend that evening so I figured I may as well get a glow. That and well, this is a mask I've not yet tried.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d13tLUge-Qo/Vt1-0UgAQKI/AAAAAAAA-PE/2ONIGwYYGW4/s1600/leaders_insolution_philippines5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d13tLUge-Qo/Vt1-0UgAQKI/AAAAAAAA-PE/2ONIGwYYGW4/s1600/leaders_insolution_philippines5.jpg" alt="Leaders Philippines Spa Party" /></a></div>
We were all asked to go to the event bare-faced, so I did. We changed into personalized Leaders robes and had a facial massage before the mask application.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNNj4wKz8MQ/Vt1-0ReftAI/AAAAAAAA-PA/xXtiy8njK5s/s1600/leaders_insolution_philippines6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNNj4wKz8MQ/Vt1-0ReftAI/AAAAAAAA-PA/xXtiy8njK5s/s640/leaders_insolution_philippines6.jpg" width="640" alt="Leaders Dr. Therapy Hand Mask"/></a></div>
What do you know we were there to try not just the facial masks, but the hand mask and the foot mask too! This is the <b>Leaders Dr. Therapy Hand Mask (P178)</b>, a hydrating snail mucin-infused glove type mask which is also enriched with aloe vera and beeswax. You leave it on for 20-30 minutes. Upon removal, you just need to pat in the essence for the skin to fully absorb the mask. I was so amazed by the results! My hands were incredibly soft and smooth afterwards... baby soft I think!
<p>
My bad I didn't see the foot mask they used on me but it was pretty nice too! The Leaders Dr. Therapy Hand Mask stole the show for me though.
<p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so much Leaders Philippines for the relaxing spa day!</div>

Last Monday, I had a hearty and delicious lunch at <b>Choobi Choobi</b>, a newly opened restaurant along Panay Avenue in Quezon City.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-88nteuaYjIQ/VtrbZDP2I0I/AAAAAAAA-Nk/sMqE7pCJNhE/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-88nteuaYjIQ/VtrbZDP2I0I/AAAAAAAA-Nk/sMqE7pCJNhE/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay1.jpg" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
Choobi Choobi comes all the way from Cebu and the Panay Ave. branch is their first one here in Metro Manila. To help spread the word, Choobi Choobi enlisted actress Erich Gonzales.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TUZ1f0fTlcc/Vtrbc2--ryI/AAAAAAAA-N0/Fb3BXkECCW0/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TUZ1f0fTlcc/Vtrbc2--ryI/AAAAAAAA-N0/Fb3BXkECCW0/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay2.jpg" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
Each table had their own set of alcohol, wet wipes, and candies -- just in case you prefer to use your hands to eat.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kGlAKSXx90/VtrbdSNityI/AAAAAAAA-N4/1IU2NVV2f6c/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kGlAKSXx90/VtrbdSNityI/AAAAAAAA-N4/1IU2NVV2f6c/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay3.jpg" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
We were all given utensils and plastic gloves. I decided to cool off with their <b>Cucumber Pineapple Shake (P140)</b> since it was a pretty warm and sunny day. It was refreshing but I couldn't really taste the pineapple.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fx7TkUh25AE/VtrbgOXfk0I/AAAAAAAA-N8/WMvZkqByh4M/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fx7TkUh25AE/VtrbgOXfk0I/AAAAAAAA-N8/WMvZkqByh4M/s640/choobi_choobi_panay4.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
They served some <b>Cha Tao Miao (P180)</b> to start us off. It's actually snowpea sprouts. It's kinda like a combination of grass and bean sprouts in terms of taste. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it because it was crisp and garlicky -- just the way I like my greens.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aqkJAmMBDts/Vtrbhd_sLsI/AAAAAAAA-OA/-niuNmNpTu0/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aqkJAmMBDts/Vtrbhd_sLsI/AAAAAAAA-OA/-niuNmNpTu0/s640/choobi_choobi_panay5.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
My favorite dish for the day was hands down the <b>Seafood Barkada Bag (P645)</b>, a mix of fresh shrimp, mussels, sweet corn on the cob, and chunks of Cebu longganisa all cooked and drenched in Choobi Choobi's original sweet cajun sauce. Take note I don't like seafood. In fact I don't really eat mussels or shrimp (well also because I'm allergic to shrimp) but wow, I had a lot that day.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--FOd5OUN24Y/Vtrbig9dbNI/AAAAAAAA-OE/OjVT95AnRks/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--FOd5OUN24Y/Vtrbig9dbNI/AAAAAAAA-OE/OjVT95AnRks/s640/choobi_choobi_panay6.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See, I did have them all lol!</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qqHSkgfzVwM/VtrblPSwCEI/AAAAAAAA-OI/sMFRMt34gQ0/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qqHSkgfzVwM/VtrblPSwCEI/AAAAAAAA-OI/sMFRMt34gQ0/s640/choobi_choobi_panay7.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
But Choobi Choobi doesn't just serve seafood, they also have meat! We had the <b>Choobi Pata (P445 M / P465 L)</b>. The skin is incredibly crispy, as in <i>chicharon</i> levels. The pork is really soft and tender, you don't even need a knife to slice through it.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDDK5b6fE8Q/Vtrbm5TY6jI/AAAAAAAA-OM/guVcmwwQIEU/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDDK5b6fE8Q/Vtrbm5TY6jI/AAAAAAAA-OM/guVcmwwQIEU/s640/choobi_choobi_panay8.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
Next we had <b>Singaporean Style Salted Egg Shrimp (P440)</b>. Whoa! It's sooo tasty I had to really control myself as not to overindulge. If I have too much I may not make it to the other shrimp dishes because of my allergy. The salted egg paste would go so nicely with hot steamed rice and just look at how big and plump those shrimps are!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iZ0Ys-k1H68/VtrbnP0qy1I/AAAAAAAA-OQ/ErGvKs8Wtt4/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iZ0Ys-k1H68/VtrbnP0qy1I/AAAAAAAA-OQ/ErGvKs8Wtt4/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay9.jpg" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
Choobi Choobi's signature shrimp dish is however <b>Stan's Fried Black Pepper Shrimp (P440)</b>, named after the owner of Choobi Choobi who came up with it. The sauce is to die for. I don't believe I've ever had this much yummy shrimp in my life. Each dish elicited oohs and aahs from almost everyone at the event.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xWNnIy3-p3Y/VtrbZYwm1DI/AAAAAAAA-Ns/cJcUT6qKWdM/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xWNnIy3-p3Y/VtrbZYwm1DI/AAAAAAAA-Ns/cJcUT6qKWdM/s640/choobi_choobi_panay10.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
<b>Lola Pepang's Fried Manok Regular (P345)</b> is a family recipe passed on for 4 generations. It is rather ordinary compared to all the other dishes which came before it but still quite good overall. The chicken is tender but I can't eat it without the sauce which gives it taste. Sorry I'm really not into chicken haha.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eKJoSRSiG5M/VtrbZVnNhsI/AAAAAAAA-No/LaLYV56BHeU/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eKJoSRSiG5M/VtrbZVnNhsI/AAAAAAAA-No/LaLYV56BHeU/s640/choobi_choobi_panay11.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
Their <b>Pork Barbecue (P30 per stick)</b> is pretty good too. The meat is lean and tender, the marinade both savory and sweet.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sbid-rMtkRA/VtrbcSE958I/AAAAAAAA-Nw/Dc1RB3___Lw/s1600/choobi_choobi_panay12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sbid-rMtkRA/VtrbcSE958I/AAAAAAAA-Nw/Dc1RB3___Lw/s640/choobi_choobi_panay12.jpg" width="640" alt="Choobi Choobi Panay Ave" /></a></div>
I wasn't expecting Choobi Choobi to have desserts but they actually do have several on the menu. We were served with <b>Choco Molten Kiss (P175)</b> to cap off our hearty lunch. OMG. What a surprise. This cake is really decadent and chocolatey, moist, and filled with melty rich liquid chocolate. The scoop of vanilla ice cream on top complements it perfectly.
<p>
I honestly had no idea what to expect when I went to Choobi Choobi but wow, I'm already excited to go back with my hubby and kids. I'm definitely ordering the Seafood Barkada again and maybe try some of the other items on the menu. For what we're getting, I think the prices are pretty fair.

We have to work, take care of the household, and make sure the kids are okay... our duties are never really done. It's a neverending cycle really.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kUsR5nMGOcY/VtmN5XtbsvI/AAAAAAAA-MQ/HzQQqDOV_Dg/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kUsR5nMGOcY/VtmN5XtbsvI/AAAAAAAA-MQ/HzQQqDOV_Dg/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness1.jpg" alt="Watsons Glow with Wellness Campaign" /></a></div>
Well this Women's Month, Watsons wants us ladies to look good and feel great by achieving holistic health, beauty, and wellness through Watsons' Glow with Wellness campaign. This holistic approach merges the benefits of proper nutrition, exercise, supplements, and beauty care... because looking good and feeling good is more than skin deep, it has to start from within.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-86OMdQ2jllc/VtmN5Z9M79I/AAAAAAAA-MM/lA4oU2otiWk/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-86OMdQ2jllc/VtmN5Z9M79I/AAAAAAAA-MM/lA4oU2otiWk/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness2.jpg" alt="Watsons Glow with Wellness Campaign" /></a></div>
Watsons provides a simple 3-step approach to ultimately achieving every Filipina's wellness goals:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Step 1: Ready - Start with a checklist of your wellness goals. The list will be comprised of activities that will push you to be a better version of yourself. In my case, that's losing weight because I am still overweight. Not as obese as I was before but still no at my ideal weight.</li>
<li>Step 2: Set - Prepare everything you need to achieve the goals on your checklist. Whether it's making dietary changes or incorporating more exercise to my daily routine, I need to prepare.</li>
<li>Step 3: Glow - Let Watsons support your wellness routine with its wide range of vitamins, supplements, as well as health advice.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zXTEd5HkfGw/VtmN5d_qzhI/AAAAAAAA-MU/dTtiU27L1aY/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zXTEd5HkfGw/VtmN5d_qzhI/AAAAAAAA-MU/dTtiU27L1aY/s1600/watsons_glow_wellness3.jpg" alt="Watsons Glow with Wellness Campaign" /></a></div>
So I went around Watsons to check out what products I can get to improve my overall well-being. I saw this big bottle of Organique Acai Food Supplement. It's an antioxidant-rich drink that help combat cell damage. I'll be sharing my Organique Acai experience in the coming days!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oooh Belo Collagen Powder Drink! I've actually tried this before and I kinda liked it. It's got 5000mg of collagen and hyaluronic acid, both of which have a host of anti-aging benefits. Collagen is responsible for making skin soft, supple, and elastic and so it's all good.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So that we don't get sick easily, we need our daily dose of vitamins!</div>

Sangobion! When my dad passed away 2 years ago, I was extremely sleep-deprived during the week of his wake. Sangobion kept me going through it all so yes, this is tried and tested -- really handy in times of stress and sleep deprivation.

Why? Simply because it spells out OLD. Mature. <i>Tanders</i>. At my age of 41, the last thing I want is to look 41. The goal is to always look maybe 10 years younger hahahahaa! But that's just me... my thing. Some people actually like looking their age and that's perfectly fine. :D
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hGVGl9zYgO8/VtmFPwgnUEI/AAAAAAAA-LI/RpPJMUl8qwI/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hGVGl9zYgO8/VtmFPwgnUEI/AAAAAAAA-LI/RpPJMUl8qwI/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss1.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review" /></a></div>
So anyway, I recently discovered an easy way of achieving perfect natural-looking lips using two (2) Tonymoly lip products -- <b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub (P348)</b> and <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight (P548)</b>.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3uiyyhmaf8Y/VtmFgz8sALI/AAAAAAAA-LM/iXw_bITWtFw/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3uiyyhmaf8Y/VtmFgz8sALI/AAAAAAAA-LM/iXw_bITWtFw/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss2.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review"/></a></div>
It's actually easy! Take out your <b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub</b> and twist to unscrew the lips-shaped cap. I initially tried pulling it off but duh... it turned out to be screw-on cap, lol.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1-vXyhmSWfc/VtmFoeyLG8I/AAAAAAAA-LQ/1LLfQL1snjM/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1-vXyhmSWfc/VtmFoeyLG8I/AAAAAAAA-LQ/1LLfQL1snjM/s640/tonymoly_kiss_kiss3.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review" /></a></div>
<b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub</b> is unlike other lip scrubs I've seen and tried. For starters, it's not as grainy as others (most of those I've encountered seem to be made up of all grains for exfoliation). It's actually very creamy and the grains are very fine. This product is recommended for thin and vulnerable lip skin due to its anti-aging properties (which means it's GREAT for older people like me hahahaha). It's formulated with Jojoba, Macadamia Oil Butter, and Honey so it moisturizes, nourishes, and exfoliates your lips.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-abXlPy5taXE/VtmFxDRN6XI/AAAAAAAA-LU/ngyY49CfRTw/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-abXlPy5taXE/VtmFxDRN6XI/AAAAAAAA-LU/ngyY49CfRTw/s640/tonymoly_kiss_kiss4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a swatch to give you a better idea of <b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub</b>'s consistency.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gwZmjzfHhRA/VtmF58SlLLI/AAAAAAAA-Lc/mbYgw4fvDF8/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gwZmjzfHhRA/VtmF58SlLLI/AAAAAAAA-Lc/mbYgw4fvDF8/s1600/tonymoly_kiss_kiss5.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review" /></a></div>
It's easy to use -- simply massage the product all over clean, makeup-free lips for 1-2 minutes, making sure your entire lips are covered. You can rinse your lips with water after or wipe the product off with tissue. Wow, I was so amazed by how smooth and perfect my lips looked and felt after I used the <b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub</b>! But this is only the beginning of your perfect natural-looking lips!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PFLHyfc-l4M/VtmGFOStAhI/AAAAAAAA-Lk/hadDRbMHbfo/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PFLHyfc-l4M/VtmGFOStAhI/AAAAAAAA-Lk/hadDRbMHbfo/s640/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint1.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight Review" /></a></div>
The next step is to use the <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight</b>, a 2-in-1 lip color product. I got it in shade 02 Kiss Me Pink.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TPwkvUBx138/VtmGRKkQIGI/AAAAAAAA-Lo/NdqPmdZY67M/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TPwkvUBx138/VtmGRKkQIGI/AAAAAAAA-Lo/NdqPmdZY67M/s640/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint2.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight Review" /></a></div>
One end is a sponge tip you can push to dispense liquid lip tint while the other end is a tinted lip balm.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k5REZ-rnDzA/VtmGZX_EkfI/AAAAAAAA-Lw/iZGnSo1NZLA/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k5REZ-rnDzA/VtmGZX_EkfI/AAAAAAAA-Lw/iZGnSo1NZLA/s640/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint3.jpg" /></a></div>
Here are swatches of <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight in 02 Kiss Me Pink</b>. The top swatch is the lip balm, the bottom swatch is the lip tint.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fEaLaUsaCjg/VtmGfh1sSQI/AAAAAAAA-L0/_MAp1sTEfmw/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fEaLaUsaCjg/VtmGfh1sSQI/AAAAAAAA-L0/_MAp1sTEfmw/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint4.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight Review"/></a></div>
Here are photos of my lips using <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight in 02 Kiss Me Pink</b>. On the top photo I used only the lip balm. On the bottom photo I added the lip tint by pressing the sponge tip all over my lips. I love how my lips look so smooth and natural -- this is definitely an MLBB (My Lips But Better) product.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DiUZU6nvhdY/VtmGnPIBioI/AAAAAAAA-L4/fSiwnS3L4xc/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DiUZU6nvhdY/VtmGnPIBioI/AAAAAAAA-L4/fSiwnS3L4xc/s1600/tonymoly_bam_bam_tint5.jpg" alt="Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight Review"/></a></div>
And this is how the <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight in 02 Kiss Me Pink</b> looks indoors under artificial light. Still MLBB!
<p>
What I like about <b>Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub</b>:
<ul>
<li>It smells and tastes fruity!</li>
<li>It's moisturizing without being oily, greasy, or sticky.</li>
<li>It effectively sloughs off rough, dry, and chapping patches of skin.</li>
<li>Your lips look and feel soooo smooth and soft afterwards it's impossible not to be amazed!</li>
</ul>
<p>
What I like about <b>Tonymoly Bam Bam Tint Delight</b>:
<ul>
<li>It's very versatile. You can use it in a variety of ways -- balm only, tint only, layered... you can even easily sport Korean gradient lips with this.</li>
<li>It's lightweight and feels nice on the lips.</li>
<li>You control just how light or dark the color comes out.</li>
<li>This product is also fruity in terms of taste and smell.</li>
<li>It's convenient because now you need to bring just one tube for both lip balm and lip color.</li>
<li>The price is very reasonable at P548 since it is essentially 2 products!</li>
<li>There are 5 different shades available.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Downside? None. I love everything about them both and they're now my go-to products for perfect natural-looking lips!
<p>

It caught my eye immediately because I drive everyday so everything contained therein was relevant to me.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3I0Z2C8R4OM/VtZGwrBC8JI/AAAAAAAA-Jc/TO7qox0kJes/s1600/mmda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3I0Z2C8R4OM/VtZGwrBC8JI/AAAAAAAA-Jc/TO7qox0kJes/s1600/mmda.jpg" alt="MMDA Advisory" /></a></div>
This is maybe half of the MMDA Advisory, you can view the full version at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MMDAPH/posts/1046888458683149">https://www.facebook.com/MMDAPH/posts/1046888458683149</a>.
<p>
You know I can't even count the number of times in the past that I've been asked to pull over and threatened with a ticket because I was "swerving". This would happen even if the road was practically empty, I was driving slowly using a signal light, and I wasn't really disturbing anyone. When I was accosted, I automatically assumed it was my fault. The cop would proceed to take my license, take out his ticket pad, and then tell me he'd issue one. I would plead (sometimes they let me go) and if that didn't work, I would offer a bribe just so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of going to Lord-knows-where to claim my license.
<p>
But that's not what I want to share today.
<p>
Yesterday afternoon, I was driving. I was about to turn from Sapphire Road to Ortigas. There was a lone guard (as in security guard) with his back turned to me directing traffic. The car in front of me went ahead and turned. I followed. He suddenly turns to me, stops me, and tells me I should not have driven forward. The conversation went something like this albeit it was in <i>Tagalog</i>. I'm translating the entire conversation to English for non-<i>Tagalog</i> speaking readers.<p>
<b>Me:</b> "I didn't see any stoplight or traffic sign! I just followed the car in front of me!"<br />
<b>Guard:</b> "There is no stoplight here I'm in charge of directing traffic and I told you to stop! Do you know I can give you a ticket???"
<p>
He then proceeds to call a cop. The cop tells me to pull over at the side of the road.
<p>
<b>Cop:</b> "Show me your license."<br />
<b>Me:</b> "Why? There was no stoplight, no traffic sign, the guy had his back turned to me and I just followed the car in front!"<br />
<b>Cop:</b> "I just want to look at your license."
<p>
I knew where this was going. I had been through the entire "I want to see your license" drill waaaay too many times in the past. If I give him my license, he will really take it, take out the ticket pad, and then threaten me with a traffic violation.
<p>
<b>Me:</b> "You can't take my license! I know the law! I didn't violate anything!" (The exact thing I said in Tagalog was actually <i>"Hindi mo pwede kunin ang lisensya ko, alam ko ang batas!"</i>)
<p>
He let me go. Instantly.
<p>
I'm just so thankful that a friend on Facebook shared the MMDA Advisory and I was able to read it in its entirety before this incident. I suggest you check the link I posted above and do the same, it just might save you from unnecessary stress and harassment on the road.

<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z66NCwds6iY/VtWs9ZipvyI/AAAAAAAA-I8/VpLC6hI_5Y8/s1600/shakeys_greek_salad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z66NCwds6iY/VtWs9ZipvyI/AAAAAAAA-I8/VpLC6hI_5Y8/s1600/shakeys_greek_salad.jpg" alt="Shakeys Greek Salad" /></a></div>
First we have the <b>Greek Salad</b> -- comprised of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, salami slices, and feta cheese with sweet tangy dressing. Perfect if you just want something light and healthy.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DgnVPVosmqY/VtWs9T9cF_I/AAAAAAAA-JA/TQd6s72sBa4/s1600/shakeys_mediterranean_tuna.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DgnVPVosmqY/VtWs9T9cF_I/AAAAAAAA-JA/TQd6s72sBa4/s1600/shakeys_mediterranean_tuna.jpg" alt="Shakeys Mediterranean Tuna Pasta" /></a></div>
Then there's the <b>Mediterranean Tuna Pasta (P195)</b>. It's a light olive oil-based pasta with tuna chunks, black olives, tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese. I'm interested, haha!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MYyVrgVWlVc/VtWs_wim90I/AAAAAAAA-JE/jzB2BabzuBw/s1600/grilled_vegetable_pizza.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MYyVrgVWlVc/VtWs_wim90I/AAAAAAAA-JE/jzB2BabzuBw/s1600/grilled_vegetable_pizza.jpg" alt="Shakeys Grilled Vegetable Pizza" /></a></div>
Last but not least we have the <b>Grilled Vegetable Pizza (starts at P220)</b>. It's an all-vegetable dish with roasted eggplant, zucchini, and red bell peppers topped with caramelized onions and fresh garlic bits. Honestly I find the description so intriguing I want to order it.
<p>

We use Glad Cling Wrap to keep food that are already in plates or bowls fresh... like cookie dough that needs to be refrigerated! Now that my daughter and I bake, we need Glad Cling Wrap more than ever. Wrapping food with Glad also ensures that the odors don't mix inside our refrigerator. The sandwich bags meanwhile are used daily for my kids' <i>baon</i>. We usually put sandwiches, cookies, or crackers inside Glad Sandwich Bags.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0dLypWNZ7PA/VtQ-eBhdQII/AAAAAAAA-G8/zagN27NNoq0/s1600/glad_cling_wrap1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0dLypWNZ7PA/VtQ-eBhdQII/AAAAAAAA-G8/zagN27NNoq0/s1600/glad_cling_wrap1.jpg" alt="Glad Kitchen Products" /></a></div>
So anyway Glad sent over some nifty Glad Kitchen products a couple of weeks ago... specifically Glad Storage Bags, Glad Cling Wrap, and Glad Press 'n Seal.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yz8CaHeUuRE/VtQ-enVi5VI/AAAAAAAA-HE/D4YRkTGcK10/s1600/glad_cling_wrap2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yz8CaHeUuRE/VtQ-enVi5VI/AAAAAAAA-HE/D4YRkTGcK10/s1600/glad_cling_wrap2.jpg" alt="Glad Storage Bag" /></a></div>
So what's the difference between a Glad Storage Bag (above left) and a Glad Sandwich Bag (above right)? Glad Storage bags are made of thicker and hardier material. They can withstand more stress so you can store heavier items in them. They come in different sizes too.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wXAtQEw7KSo/VtQ-ePiJW-I/AAAAAAAA-HA/_7-iUtEdP3k/s1600/glad_cling_wrap3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wXAtQEw7KSo/VtQ-ePiJW-I/AAAAAAAA-HA/_7-iUtEdP3k/s1600/glad_cling_wrap3.jpg" alt="Glad Storage Bag" /></a></div>
For example, we love snacking on Pistachios here at home. We usually buy big 3 lb bags since it's more economical that way. The big bags are usually not resealable and so we transfer the nuts to smaller bags like the Glad Storage Quart Zipper Bags. That way, we can take a bag each and snack on them at our own leisure.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q_uXMibrkg/VtQ-gNSoZDI/AAAAAAAA-HI/PgwcSaoMcbc/s1600/glad_cling_wrap4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q_uXMibrkg/VtQ-gNSoZDI/AAAAAAAA-HI/PgwcSaoMcbc/s1600/glad_cling_wrap4.jpg" alt="Glad Press 'N Seal" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What really blew me away was Glad Press 'n Seal.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t2uQm4PPOxA/VtQ-hc_5q9I/AAAAAAAA-HM/kIP_4uPcuII/s1600/glad_cling_wrap5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t2uQm4PPOxA/VtQ-hc_5q9I/AAAAAAAA-HM/kIP_4uPcuII/s1600/glad_cling_wrap5.jpg" alt="Glad Press 'n Seal" /></a></div>
You can actually use it to cover a glass of liquid (one side of Press 'n Seal is sticky so you can actually just press and seal) and it wouldn't spill.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7b1eNiD4P7A/VtQ-iONW1VI/AAAAAAAA-HQ/4OnWE7tl_oY/s1600/glad_cling_wrap6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7b1eNiD4P7A/VtQ-iONW1VI/AAAAAAAA-HQ/4OnWE7tl_oY/s1600/glad_cling_wrap6.jpg" alt="Glad Press 'n Seal" /></a></div>
I'm so amazed by this product. It costs a bit more than Cling Wrap though so Glad Cling Wrap is still the more popular choice.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1syHaf2N2hA/VtQ-inLCntI/AAAAAAAA-HU/O7mcveSaq80/s1600/glad_cling_wrap7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1syHaf2N2hA/VtQ-inLCntI/AAAAAAAA-HU/O7mcveSaq80/s1600/glad_cling_wrap7.jpg" alt="Glad Cling Wrap" /></a></div>
Love that Glad Cling Wrap comes in two different sizes now. I used to have to cut the <b>Glad 30cm Cling Wrap (P89.40)</b> when I was wrapping smaller plates or bowls. If you've tried using cling wrap you'd know it isn't very easy to cut. Now that there's Glad Mini Cling Wrap (P55), there's no need to cut anymore, it fits over smaller plates, bowls, and containers perfectly!
<p>
Glad ClingWrap and other Glad Kitchen products are available at major supermarkets, 7-11 outlets, and self-service Mercury Drug stores nationwide.

I've never been fond of the entire process of slathering something creamy (and potentially greasy and sticky) all over my body. That said I prefer using moisturizing body washes. They're very convenient because they cleanse and hydrate the skin at the same time. I just rinse off like I always do when I take a bath and I'm good to go.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lvr6hUs-sKo/VtAMZ6A276I/AAAAAAAA-Fg/TdpljF0LCBU/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lvr6hUs-sKo/VtAMZ6A276I/AAAAAAAA-Fg/TdpljF0LCBU/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion1.jpg" alt="Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion Review" /></a></div>
Anyhow I scored this <b>Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion 100ml (P124)</b> from <a href="http://www.sampleroom.ph/" target="out">Sample Room</a> a while back (maybe a week ago?). This is a first -- a body lotion which I use in the shower and rinse off! Sounds like my kind of product.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sT9lt0_Syro/VtAMZ1Q3dxI/AAAAAAAA-Fo/htos9Ft3CVo/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sT9lt0_Syro/VtAMZ1Q3dxI/AAAAAAAA-Fo/htos9Ft3CVo/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion2.jpg" alt="Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion Review" /></a></div>
It looks like regular lotion, the thick and creamy type anyway. I immediately notice the fresh and revitalizing fragrance.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tx2OkVLaozs/VtAMZ_4xkEI/AAAAAAAA-Fk/qf-GKSNm8O4/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tx2OkVLaozs/VtAMZ_4xkEI/AAAAAAAA-Fk/qf-GKSNm8O4/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion3.jpg" alt="Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion Review" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's definitely thick and creamy.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c2MPfpvhnso/VtAMbFE_q3I/AAAAAAAA-Fs/opuCOSh1DfA/s1600/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c2MPfpvhnso/VtAMbFE_q3I/AAAAAAAA-Fs/opuCOSh1DfA/s640/nivea_in_shower_body_lotion4.jpg" width="640" alt="Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion Review" /></a></div>
Here's what happens when you spread it onto your skin. It is thicker than regular lotion but then it's meant to be applied to wet skin after you shower and then rinsed off.
<p>
Anyway I've been using the Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion for a week now and all I can say is wow, had I known about this product last year I would have brought some with me to the US last December. When I was in the US, my skin became sooo dry that even if I applied lotion after bathing, it wasn't enough! My skin cracked because of dryness. Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion coats your skin with a protective layer that keeps your skin moisturized throughout. My skin actually feels smoother when I use this as compared to rubbing body lotion all over.
<p>
What I like about Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion:
<ul>
<li>It thoroughly moisturizes my skin and since I rinse it off, there's no sticky or greasy feeling.</li>
<li>Skin feels super smooth and smells nice after use.</li>
<li>I can feel it coating my skin with a protective film -- this is definitely a must-have in cold and dry countries.</li>
<li>It's very convenient to use. You shower and then apply this after you're done cleansing. Rinse it off and you're good to go!</li>
<li>It has Vitamin C which can brighten dull skin.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Downside? For some reason I use it up faster compared to regular body lotion. I might be over-applying though.
<p>
Nivea In-Shower Whitening Body Lotion is available for P124 per 100ml bottle / P239 per 250ml bottle at leading department stores, supermarkets, and drugstores nationwide.
<p>
This is highly recommended for people like me who don't like the sticky or greasy feel of conventional body lotion.

Go Shave!Do you wear sleeveless clothes? I do! One of my concerns is always my underarms. Are they hairy? Will it show? Wahahahahaa! I often wish I can just blast all the hairs away with a laser. I have a very hard time tweezing because it's so hard to actually look at your underarms and pluck hairs one by one. Like it or not, the quickest and most convenient way to get rid of hair is still to shave.
<p>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2PflHI77Go/VtB5oST4s1I/AAAAAAAA-F8/eFPiMJV0JWs/s1600/dove_go_shave1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q2PflHI77Go/VtB5oST4s1I/AAAAAAAA-F8/eFPiMJV0JWs/s1600/dove_go_shave1.jpg" alt="Dove Go Shave" /></a></div>
So anyway Dove invited us to find out more about shaving and our underarms in an event dubbed as Dove Go Shave held at the rooftop garden at Greenbelt 5.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EpWufG_-TvI/VtB5pCAateI/AAAAAAAA-GA/L9ntpEwFEuw/s1600/dove_go_shave2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EpWufG_-TvI/VtB5pCAateI/AAAAAAAA-GA/L9ntpEwFEuw/s640/dove_go_shave2.jpg" width="640" alt="Dove Go Shave" /></a></div>
Dove ambassadors Patty Laurel, Dani Barretto, Kelly Misa, and Saab Magalona talked about shaving and underarms along with dermatologist Dr. Anna Palabyab-Rufino (not in the photo). Did you know that whenever you shave, 1/3 of what you shave off is skin? Scary!!! I mean I'm pretty sure that 1/3 isn't even all dead skin. Shaving takes away the topmost layer, leaving the shaved area raw, sensitive, and prone to further damage. If the skin is unable to heal itself, it becomes dark and bumpy -- now that's a nightmare in the making!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CSNxy8ULotA/VtB5qnlHguI/AAAAAAAA-GE/hdaT0OxibAA/s1600/dove_go_shave3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CSNxy8ULotA/VtB5qnlHguI/AAAAAAAA-GE/hdaT0OxibAA/s640/dove_go_shave3.jpg" width="640" alt="Dove Go Shave" /></a></div>
The answer? Dove deodorant, which is made of 1/4 moisturizing cream. We all got to make our own Dove Go Shave kits to take home during the event -- we also got to send a smaller travel-sized kit to a friend! Dove deodorant soothes and protects sensitive underarm skin from redness and irritation. It moisturizes and whitens too, so you'll eventually have smoother and fairer underarms.<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fpYcRO7_LtA/VtD9nC5PpUI/AAAAAAAA-GY/5yFiKanoAa4/s1600/DoveGoShave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fpYcRO7_LtA/VtD9nC5PpUI/AAAAAAAA-GY/5yFiKanoAa4/s640/DoveGoShave.jpg" width="640" alt="Dove Go Shave" /></a></div>
In line with Dove's advocacy of providing real care for real women, Dove encourages women everywhere to go shave and live life to the fullest. You can leave all your underarm worries and concerns to Dove.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sY509xPQHlg/VtEIw12szfI/AAAAAAAA-Go/nX7TYjdJsAw/s1600/dove_go_shave4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sY509xPQHlg/VtEIw12szfI/AAAAAAAA-Go/nX7TYjdJsAw/s640/dove_go_shave4.jpg" width="640" alt="Dove Go Shave" /></a></div>
Guess what? At the start of the event guests were all asked to write messages to their shavers and to hang them by the photo wall area for random raffling by the end of the event. I had no intention of joining but <a href="http://www.gojackiego.com/" target="out">Jackie</a> kept telling me to go make one (see what I wrote was utter nonsense lol) while I was waiting for her <i>novela</i>. Imagine my shock when brand people started picking out Doves and Patty Laurel called my name. I won a shopping spree care of Dove deo! Wooot! Luck must be contagious because Jackie ended up winning a trip to Palawan hahaha!
<p>
Anyway, you too can win a trip to El Nido, Palawan! For the regular price of a regular Dove roll-on or aerosol, you get a free Dove deo zip pouch and a chance to win a trip to El Nido, Palawan with 2 friends!

I was so tired I spent the entire EDSA holiday today sleeping. I was literally in bed the entire day. While I normally don't make a career out of attending events, it just so happened that all the brands holding them are good friends of mine.

I'm going to start with Boulangerie 22, a fresh new French-Korean bakery concept located right at the heart of the Makati CBD. Well they actually have several branches already but this is the first I've been to. I attended their launch yesterday.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHLK_9abLKQ/Vs73sxQ32dI/AAAAAAAA-D4/70n54NDmvSQ/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHLK_9abLKQ/Vs73sxQ32dI/AAAAAAAA-D4/70n54NDmvSQ/s640/boulangerie_22_legaspi2.jpg" width="640" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
OMG, it's so quaint! They have separate sections for sweet and savory breads and pastries. I love the bright and neat interiors.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6VCow_eI3uE/Vs73ugbjH-I/AAAAAAAA-D8/fvCMa8_qfZ0/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6VCow_eI3uE/Vs73ugbjH-I/AAAAAAAA-D8/fvCMa8_qfZ0/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi3.jpg" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
There were so many yummy things on display I got confused which ones to try. If only my tummy could accommodate them all, hahaha!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o96IEEDSiJY/Vs73w7AnGVI/AAAAAAAA-EE/muoqeLrb0zM/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o96IEEDSiJY/Vs73w7AnGVI/AAAAAAAA-EE/muoqeLrb0zM/s640/boulangerie_22_legaspi5.jpg" width="640" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
Boulangerie 22's French Macarons are to die for. At P39 a piece, they come in unique flavors (my favorite is the Maple Macaron) and wow, they are almost TWG level in terms of texture and taste. You can taste the almonds when you bite into the crisp shells and each one is oozing with the smoothest buttercream filling. I love that they're not overly sweet. At the moment they have Chocolate, Grape, Strawberry, Green Apple, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Maple macarons.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y8fRlhiUyCM/Vs8IDIuGRPI/AAAAAAAA-Es/qhDyPwtO-T0/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y8fRlhiUyCM/Vs8IDIuGRPI/AAAAAAAA-Es/qhDyPwtO-T0/s640/boulangerie_22_legaspi4.jpg" width="640" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
I love the cute cakes! They cost P699 each, my favorite is the What's Up Wabbit Cake... a super loaded carrot cake that's just teeming with fresh carrots, coconut, pineapple, walnuts, and then covered with a cream cheese frosting and white chocolate ganache. It's SOOOO good, probably one of the best carrot cakes I've ever tasted.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DWMUXXu_030/Vs73wihboZI/AAAAAAAA-EA/JSHqEP-lWqs/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DWMUXXu_030/Vs73wihboZI/AAAAAAAA-EA/JSHqEP-lWqs/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi6.jpg" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
Boulangerie 22 has a lot of savory offerings too. I tried the <b>Cheddar Chicken Floss Bread (P59)</b>. Love how soft the bread is and how they don't skimp on the cheddar chicken floss.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RnWqg7LDCjM/Vs73xagZEzI/AAAAAAAA-EI/ZKmX7WmqA0g/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RnWqg7LDCjM/Vs73xagZEzI/AAAAAAAA-EI/ZKmX7WmqA0g/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi7.jpg" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
Love how their <b>Italian Sourdough Focaccia (P129)</b> isn't greasy like most Focaccia breads I've seen.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QDWEyKf-e9E/Vs73zc5cYgI/AAAAAAAA-EM/ewhmbKRPcss/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QDWEyKf-e9E/Vs73zc5cYgI/AAAAAAAA-EM/ewhmbKRPcss/s640/boulangerie_22_legaspi8.jpg" width="640" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
We were all served a big slice of Sourdough Pizza! It's overflowing with melty mozzarella cheese... so yummy! I bet kids will love this. It's best eaten hot.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Boulangerie 22 has a lot of Korean drinks with prices starting at P39. They also have bottled fresh fruit juices from New Zealand.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_BQY_G2voKo/Vs73rLUUMCI/AAAAAAAA-D0/Rt23pRKBwLI/s1600/boulangerie_22_legaspi10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_BQY_G2voKo/Vs73rLUUMCI/AAAAAAAA-D0/Rt23pRKBwLI/s640/boulangerie_22_legaspi10.jpg" width="640" alt="Boulangerie 22 Legaspi" /></a></div>
Okay so I finally settled on these yummy baked treats -- Vanilla and Chocolate Financiers (love the chocolate -- so rich, moist, and dense!), Butterscotch and Chocolate Rusks (you know those bread toasts they sell in the grocery that are topped with butter and sugar? they're kinda like that), Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie (nice and chewy just the way I like it!), and a Cheddar Chicken Floss Bread. I ended up slicing/breaking everything to pieces to share with my friends as it was hard to finish a tray full of goodies on my own.

Okay this is my first blog post using my new Fujifilm X-A2 camera and here we are (with fellow blogger <a href="http://www.tinavilla.com/" target="out">Tina Villa</a>) trying out the selfie mode lol. I'm not used to it yet so it's a little awkward. I promise to practice more, hahaha!

Boulangerie 22 is more French-inspired than Korean actually. Their croissants are actually made with butter imported all the way from Normandy! You just have to taste to believe. I can't wait for them to open their store in Greenfield so it's at least closer to our office! Like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/boulangerie22" target="out">Boulangerie 22</a> on Facebook for information and updates.

<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With new drinks of course come new food to pair them with. Aiming for a healthier lifestyle? Try the new <b>Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie (P60 per piece)</b>. It's vegetarian for starters... made of banana, granola, oatmeal, and dark chocolate (the healthiest kind!).
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Fish and Potato Wrap (P165)</b> is new to me... I'm used to these wraps filled with chicken or beef. So inside this wrap is a breaded fish fillet, baked potato wedges, and egg mayo dressing.

As for me I'm excited to try out the <b>Starbucks VIA Tribute Blend (P375)</b> which I can conveniently bring anywhere I go. It's also available in coffee bean form for P425 in case you prefer brewing the old-fashioned way. The Starbucks Tribute Blend is a dark roast which celebrates the 40th anniversary of Starbucks. Although their new <b>3 Region Blend (P425)</b> is probably more my taste when it comes to coffee beans since it's a lighter roast (I prefer light to medium roasts when it comes to coffee) which combines floral, citrus, and berry aromas and flavors.
<p>
All the above items are already available at Starbucks stores nationwide.

Okay so this is actually a long overdue post since our joint birthday bash happened last October, during our birth month. Yes, twinnie <a href="http://www.marjsia.com" target="out">Marj Sia</a> and I were born on the same month, lol!
<p>

So anyway Marj and I had a few of our close blogger friends join us for a buffet lunch at Vikings Megamall.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I personally love Vikings (and all its sister restaurants namely Four Seasons and Niu). It's our family's go-to place for celebrating special occasions and entertaining guests. Nothing quite beats the vast selection of cuisines you'll find at any Vikings restaurant. You really get excellent value for money every time.

Binusog na Lechon is my forever favorite dish at Vikings and we actually requested it instead of the usual birthday cake. Marj and I literally popped a candle in the middle of the dish and blew it out, lol. I love how crunchy the skin is and how melt-in-your-mouth tender the meat is. This is what I always go for first whenever I'm at any Vikings resto.

So after our hearty Vikings buffet lunch we went straight to Strip's Megamall branch. We were there to try out their new waxes -- the moisturizing Cucumber wax and the whitening Lemon wax.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course we brought our friends along with us!</div>

If Vikings is my go-to place for celebrating and entertaining, Strip is my go-to place for waxing. They do it best. After trying out several places I can conclude that Strip is the cleanest, most efficient, and most effective waxing place around. See you get your own hygiene kit whenever you book a service so all the things that will be used for your session are yours and yours alone. They're disposed of right after and the next customer gets brand new kits.
<p>

The wax smells so yummy plus it looks like candy (actually all their waxes are like this)... but this isn't the wax I tried, I opted for the Lemon Wax for the underarms.

After my waxing session at Strip, I hopped over to Browhaus (which is just beside Strip) to have my eyebrows threaded.
<p>
Thank you Vikings and Strip for our birthday treat!

Thirty BB Creams later, I stopped trying to grab every single BB Cream I came across. Besides I had found my one true love when it came to BBs so I stopped buying (well also because my dresser was already overrun by unfinished tubes and compacts of BB). I think 2015 went by with only 2 BB Cream reviews, lol! I've pretty much eliminated most of the excess I had accumulated and so now I'm ready to take on some new ones again.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jSNWR-13hmM/VsnRGrHYCQI/AAAAAAAA-Ag/Sdcnc8LgqZo/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jSNWR-13hmM/VsnRGrHYCQI/AAAAAAAA-Ag/Sdcnc8LgqZo/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream1.jpg" alt="Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Cream Review" /></a></div>
So for my 31st BB Cream review, the first for 2016, I tried out <b>Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB (P450)</b>. Biore is a brand I've known all my life. I remember washing my face with Kao Biore during my teenage years. Suddenly the brand disappeared off the face of this country. But I would still buy Biore products whenever I'd go abroad -- Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan... you name it. Last year, I got wind of Biore's return to the Philippines. They sent over a few products for me to try and I'd like to start off with the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VGvWhLHNASk/VsnRGRCqnbI/AAAAAAAA-Ac/cggkul_4xVM/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VGvWhLHNASk/VsnRGRCqnbI/AAAAAAAA-Ac/cggkul_4xVM/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream2.jpg" alt="Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Cream Review" /></a></div>
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB promises a lot of things:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Long-lasting high SPF sweatproof UV protection</li>
<li>Weightless texture with BB coverage</li>
<li>3D Brightening effect</li>
<li>Hydrating oil control</li>
</ul>
<p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There's only one shade available for Biore UV Rich Watery BB Cream.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yg7WL0BhcuA/VsnRIMbkQBI/AAAAAAAA-Ao/75XNa6Kz9Q0/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yg7WL0BhcuA/VsnRIMbkQBI/AAAAAAAA-Ao/75XNa6Kz9Q0/s640/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream4.jpg" width="640" alt="Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Cream Review" /></a></div>
I like the shade -- it matches my skin nicely. It's got more of a yellow undertone so it's pretty perfect for Asians.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6MmQ6gwnAUk/VsnRIBrQQFI/AAAAAAAA-As/ris7e1l9DxQ/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6MmQ6gwnAUk/VsnRIBrQQFI/AAAAAAAA-As/ris7e1l9DxQ/s1600/biore_uv_aqua_bb_cream5.jpg" alt="Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Cream Review" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is how it looks like when applied, under natural light.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how it looked like some 8 hours later when I got home past 9pm.</div>
<p>
What I like about Biore UV Aqua Rich Water BB:
<p>
<ul>
<li>For a high SPF (it's SPF 50 PA+++) product, the texture is still lightweight and sheer. Usually the higher the SPF, the thicker and more opaque the product becomes. This one looks natural. That said you can use this as your daily facial sunscreen.</li>
<li>It's reasonably priced at P450 per 33g tube.</li>
<li>The finish is just right -- your face glows but doesn't look oily and there is a decent level of oil control. I didn't powder up or blot in that 8-hour later photo above and I think I still look okay.</li>
<li>It's fragrance-free so it won't clash (at least scent-wise) with your other facial products.</li>
<li>It contains no mineral oil which can clog pores.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Downside? There's only one shade and it's on the light side. Coverage is also on the light side so you'll still need concealer for darker spots or blemishes you want to cover.
<p>
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB Cream is available at P450 per tube at Landmark, Cash & Carry, PCX, SM Makati, and most Watsons stores nationwide.

I posted my very first blog post on Blogger back in Feb. 20, 2009. Yes, today officially marks my blog's 7th year online. True to my word, there will be no Animetric's Favorite Things Year 7. I'm doing way way way more stuff now work-wise compared to all the past years and the last thing I need is more stress. It's clearly a no-win situation for me where such an ambitious Oprah-inspired giveaway is concerned because as the prizes get nicer (and they do every year), the competition just gets nastier. I don't want to NEED to justify what I do here. I was supposed to be giving back to readers who've supported my blog all these years, not arguing with contest joiners. I still give away stuff, I'm just not doing favorite things anymore.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rJbxEueYjkI/Vsgyb3X_GWI/AAAAAAAA9_E/MeNAgvPwZvI/s1600/fujifilm_x-a21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rJbxEueYjkI/Vsgyb3X_GWI/AAAAAAAA9_E/MeNAgvPwZvI/s1600/fujifilm_x-a21.jpg" alt="Fujifilm X-A2" /></a></div>
Moving on, I've finally decided to replace my official blogging camera since 2011, the Sony NEX-5N, with a Fujifilm X-A2 which I bought from Henry's Professional in V-Mall yesterday. What finally prompted me to do so was the pics from <a href="http://animetric.blogspot.com/2016/02/seven-comfort-cuisine.html" target="out">my son's birthday dinner at home</a>. When I was taking them, everything looked very bright and nice from the Sony screen. But when I transferred them to the computer, they were ALL dark and dull. I couldn't re-shoot because the food had already been eaten. It took all of my Photoshop manipulation skills to make them look sort of decent but I could only do so much. I can't imagine wasting precious time Photoshopping every single image that camera was going to take and so I promptly purchased a replacement.
<p>

And just like that, I suddenly have a 15-year old kid. We had his second birthday dinner with the entire extended family last night at Four Seasons Buffet in Cubao. My son's birthday is a few days shy of my blog's anniversary. He's taller than me now. Where did the time go? Why does it have to fly so fast? Oh well as long as I don't look like a granny lol...
<p>
Anyhow back to my blog. If you've noticed, I recently had it redesigned (sometime back in November 2015). I needed a change. The old design was a basic Blogger template which I fiddled with and it was, pardon the pun, getting old. I wanted something fresh and new. The OC person in me wants to fix all the old posts so they mesh well with the new design but wow, that is going to take FOREVER. I have well over 2,500 posts and although I'd like everything to look perfect I really don't know how I can do it.
<p>
As for future plans for my blog, I don't really have a definite to-do list but they include:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Another joint beauty workshop with <a href="http://www.marjsia.com/" target="out">Marj Sia</a> -- we're actually 80% done with the preparations. It will most probably happen in the summer. All I can say at the moment is Olay, Celeteque, and Biore are three of the brands we have on board.<br /></li>
<li>I'm thinking of conducting a blogging workshop because honestly I get a lot of people asking me how to do it (blog that is). I believe I can do a good job, but that workshop idea is all still in my head.<br /></li>
<li>Improving my blog -- I should come up with more original content (and better-looking... I hate going through my old old posts they look gross)... helpful content... by that I mean stuff others don't blog about lol! I don't know how I'm going to do that but I want to!</li>
</ul>
<p>
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who've been continuously reading and supporting my blog. Can't believe it's nearing the 10 year mark. None of this would have been possible without my dear family, friends, and readers. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can really never say it enough.

I asked him where he wanted to eat. He said he didn't feel like going out on a weekday since he gets home kind of late from school. That and well, he gets up at 5am every morning. He said he'd rather eat out during the weekend. Hubby and I really wanted to celebrate though, so we thought why not order some party trays so we could indulge at home?
<p>
Lucky for us our good friend <a href="http://www.frannywanny.com/" target="out">Frannywanny</a> recommended Seven Comfort Cuisine, a Quezon City-based party tray service we could easily order from. Since there's only four of us at home plus our helper, we had the smaller sized orders (good for 6-8 pax). We went with Seven Comfort Cuisine's recommendations (it was our first time to try their food so we had no idea what to order).
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ydafQ10Uro/VsUGzWPETGI/AAAAAAAA9-U/FAwoYESO_Xc/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ydafQ10Uro/VsUGzWPETGI/AAAAAAAA9-U/FAwoYESO_Xc/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine1.jpg" alt="Seven Comfort Cuisine" /></a></div>
They suggested <b>Cheesy Pork Mushroom Gravy (P850)</b>. I was iffy about this at first because overly cheesy dishes usually give me that annoying cloying (<i>umay</i>) feeling which later develops to some form of heartburn but surprise surprise -- Seven Comfort Cuisine's Cheesy Pork Mushroom Gravy is surprisingly light and not the least bit cloying. It's basically tender pieces of lean pork and button mushrooms cooked in a light milk-based gravy (reminiscent of chicken ala king actually) then topped with melted cheese. We were all surprised by how yummy this dish was!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ByqaFYbOobU/VsUGzCfkUiI/AAAAAAAA9-Q/5YCwppNUKZA/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ByqaFYbOobU/VsUGzCfkUiI/AAAAAAAA9-Q/5YCwppNUKZA/s640/seven_comfort_cuisine2.jpg" width="640" alt="Seven Comfort Cuisine" /></a></div>
We paired the Cheesy Pork Mushroom Gravy with <b>Veggie Red Rice (P500)</b>. Our kids usually don't like red/brown/black rice but surprisingly they loved this one. The red rice is really chewy and the way this is cooked is the rice and veggies are steamed so it's not greasy! It was actually perfect with the rich pork dish we were having.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4bDqnJYCHfU/VsUGzFjQR_I/AAAAAAAA9-M/xoBPhtPKgD8/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4bDqnJYCHfU/VsUGzFjQR_I/AAAAAAAA9-M/xoBPhtPKgD8/s640/seven_comfort_cuisine3.jpg" width="640" alt="Seven Comfort Cuisine" /></a></div>
Ever heard of the saying that when it's your birthday you should eat noodles for long life? Lol, for that we had <b>Savory Chicken Mushroom Pasta (P600)</b>! It's yummy -- quite reminiscent of Yellow Cab Pizza's Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta except that well one single order of Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta costs around P300 while this, which can serve 6 people, would cost only P100 per serving!<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lImvpAH2gFc/VsUG05KrntI/AAAAAAAA9-c/AUHxJonzsLk/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lImvpAH2gFc/VsUG05KrntI/AAAAAAAA9-c/AUHxJonzsLk/s640/seven_comfort_cuisine4.jpg" width="640" alt="Seven Comfort Cuisine" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For dessert we had <b>Molten Chocolate Lava (P65 each)</b>.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gpTvQFzLr5w/VsUG0zjYB1I/AAAAAAAA9-Y/m7aHX7W1Cvc/s1600/seven_comfort_cuisine5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gpTvQFzLr5w/VsUG0zjYB1I/AAAAAAAA9-Y/m7aHX7W1Cvc/s640/seven_comfort_cuisine5.jpg" width="640" alt="Seven Comfort Cuisine" /></a></div>
The Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes are served in quaint glass jars. I was told it's best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We loved that the cakes were rich and not overly sweet but when you say "molten" I kinda expect some sort of melty chocolate in the middle, lol -- there wasn't any, but the cakes were good all the same.
<p>
Five of us had these for dinner last night and we still have about half of each dish left (except dessert) for another meal. We loved the food and the service. Everything was hot and freshly made when we got them, even the cakes! Highly recommended for potluck parties, home celebrations, and well anytime you just don't want to cook and you have a lot of people to feed haha! Anyhow, check out their menu which I'm posting below.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Max's has been around practically forever and I find it quite amazing that up until now, people queue up for it!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxf0q-bM8K8/VsMoLjOqlXI/AAAAAAAA99I/yw68wrDgu34/s1600/maxs_restaurant1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxf0q-bM8K8/VsMoLjOqlXI/AAAAAAAA99I/yw68wrDgu34/s1600/maxs_restaurant1.jpg" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
Anyway sometime late last year, we attended Max's 70th birthday celebration (in the photo with me are my blogger friends Paul, Ava, and Anagon).
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLeXdsRThLo/VsMoLkmKmrI/AAAAAAAA99A/M-onV9losyY/s1600/maxs_restaurant2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLeXdsRThLo/VsMoLkmKmrI/AAAAAAAA99A/M-onV9losyY/s640/maxs_restaurant2.jpg" width="640" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
It was an evening of nostalgia. They had all sorts of Max's mementos, including this menu from the 1950's. OMG, a whole order of steak or chicken only cost P5! Halo-Halo was just P1!
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qAuONrInGZY/VsMoLtJk2GI/AAAAAAAA99E/3U0PYBM2Z7M/s1600/maxs_restaurant3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qAuONrInGZY/VsMoLtJk2GI/AAAAAAAA99E/3U0PYBM2Z7M/s1600/maxs_restaurant3.jpg" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
They even showcased Max's staff uniforms. This particular style was worn from the mid-1990's to 2005.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZuA-BiojDg/VsMoN0PZs_I/AAAAAAAA99Q/Xd65qfWjbtg/s1600/maxs_restaurant4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZuA-BiojDg/VsMoN0PZs_I/AAAAAAAA99Q/Xd65qfWjbtg/s1600/maxs_restaurant4.jpg" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lexi Schulze hosted the momentous occasion.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vQhUJSiP5wc/VsMoNxFRbtI/AAAAAAAA99M/zjA4cqs9SeY/s1600/maxs_restaurant5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vQhUJSiP5wc/VsMoNxFRbtI/AAAAAAAA99M/zjA4cqs9SeY/s1600/maxs_restaurant5.jpg" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
Food was served buffet style during the event. It was kind of hard to take photos so I waited until I had a chance to dine at Max's with my family for some food pics. Yes, we went to the same branch where the celebration was held -- Max's Scout Tuason, Quezon City. Incidentally, it's also Max's very first branch.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vBrle94NPYk/VsMoOZ53XcI/AAAAAAAA99U/jAo8Ey-g6vE/s1600/maxs_restaurant6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vBrle94NPYk/VsMoOZ53XcI/AAAAAAAA99U/jAo8Ey-g6vE/s640/maxs_restaurant6.jpg" width="640" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
We went for a simple dinner one Sunday evening when our helper took the day off. Hubby and son ordered <b>Max's Platter Meal (P250)</b>. It consists of steamed rice (or you can opt for rolls), a quarter chicken, pancit canton (you pick if you want it with chicken or pork), a caramel bar from Max's Corner Bakery, and your choice of Pepsi or Iced Tea.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aY4VuiNlm9E/VsMuB8AtKOI/AAAAAAAA994/ydLNeBXci64/s1600/maxs_restaurant10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aY4VuiNlm9E/VsMuB8AtKOI/AAAAAAAA994/ydLNeBXci64/s1600/maxs_restaurant10.jpg" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all opted for Iced Tea.</div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nhE4ctN81nE/VsMoPvSWiXI/AAAAAAAA99Y/HsPlD3HrlGo/s1600/maxs_restaurant7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nhE4ctN81nE/VsMoPvSWiXI/AAAAAAAA99Y/HsPlD3HrlGo/s640/maxs_restaurant7.jpg" width="640" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
Then we ordered <b>Chicken Sisig (P213)</b> to go with our meals. Pretty yummy, I like it with calamansi sprinkled all over. I imagine it would go so perfectly with garlic rice.
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Kry1rBWlzA/VsMoQKSTq1I/AAAAAAAA99c/Xml-88Qj1hs/s1600/maxs_restaurant8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Kry1rBWlzA/VsMoQKSTq1I/AAAAAAAA99c/Xml-88Qj1hs/s640/maxs_restaurant8.jpg" width="640" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
Daughter went for the <b>Boneless Bangus (P213)</b> -- crispy fried milkfish is served with garlic rice, fried eggs, and <i>atchara</i> (pickled vegetables).
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oTvjF-bt6zw/VsMomtmEy9I/AAAAAAAA99k/HIWtbNKXtE8/s1600/maxs_restaurant9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oTvjF-bt6zw/VsMomtmEy9I/AAAAAAAA99k/HIWtbNKXtE8/s640/maxs_restaurant9.jpg" width="640" alt="Max's Restaurant" /></a></div>
Meanwhile I opted for the <b>Fiesta Plate Meal (P245)</b>. It comes with a quarter of Max's signature fried chicken with a choice of steamed rice or rolls, fresh or fried <i>lumpiang ubod</i> (I chose to have it fresh), a caramel bar, and Iced Tea or Pepsi.
<p>
I generally don't like chicken but I like Max's Fried Chicken because it's cooked the way I like it. It's fried perfectly and the skin is deliciously crispy. I like eating it with banana ketchup and their trademark <i>kamote</i> fries. :D
<p>
Even with the modern interiors, dining at Max's never fails to evoke feelings of nostalgia. I don't know. I feel like I'm going to a grandparent's house whenever I visit Max's at Scout Tuason.
