Spiral @ Sofitel

Thanks to my dear friend Tabel for sharing with us her Spiral voucher that gives us 50% off on dinner buffet.  So, as part of our quarterly meet-up and Nikki's birthday celebration, we had a sumptuous dinner buffet at Sofitel yesterday.

My verdict?  Hhmmm.... IMHO, the quality of food was superb, the selection was just fine and the rate was too much, yes, even at a discounted price.  Except for the foie gras, the rest of the dishes can be found in other buffet restaurants like Vikings and at a much lower price with similar taste.  But no regrets in trying it out, with good friends.. good food... it only means... good times :)

Corregidor Island

History is one of my favorite subjects since high school.  I can still remember, I got a perfect score in one of our periodical exams in Philippine History when I was a high school freshman.  My interest in this subject started when I was still a kid, being exposed to current events made me asked gazillion of questions to my father about how things turned out the way they are.  And one cannot talk about Philippine history without mentioning World War II in which, my dear country had a great part in, or is it the other way around? Anyhoo, just this morning, my parents, friends and I had a historic tour of Corregidor Island, an island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon and played a great and significant part in Philippine History.

To know more about its history, please visit Corregidor Island website.

The tour is a "must" for all Filipinos, specially the students who are slowly losing interest in their roots and citizens who have lost in touch of history.

Happy Birthday, Tatay!

We love you so much!

Red Velvet Chocolate Crinkles

Yeah, it was meant to be Red and Crinkled.  But they turned out still brownish and round.  Arghhhh!!!  I'm still figuring out what went wrong :(.

No Make-Up

Pimples have always been my problem since I was a teenager.  Tried different ways how to get rid of it but they keep coming back.  From oral meds, facial cleansers, proper diet... they would just disappear for a short period and will surely return soon.  Last year, I started drinking distilled instead of tap water and surprisingly, it kinda helped... a little.

2 weeks ago, my aesthetician advised me to use cosmetics that do not clog pores or non-comedogenic because she noticed that I had quite plenty of clogged pores.  This came on the same week that I developed an eye infection which according to my ophthalmologist, one of the causes was particles from make-up.

So, I made one of the toughest decisions in my life:  NO MAKE-UPs, NO COSMETICS from now on.  Just moisturizers and sunblock.

Gambatte!

Summer 2014

March is synonymous to Summer.... my favorite season and the best ever (we only have 2 seasons anyway :D)!  As early as today, I already have 3 confirmed/booked out-of-town trips:

• Corregidor with my parents this March
• Company Summer Outing in Fontana in April
• Cambodia with cousins in May

This is going to be the best summer ever!

Corregidor in March

I have always been fond of history and this is just the beginning of a series of traveling back in time.

Cambodia in May

 My first out of the country trip with cousins.
