Shopping at Chicify!

I have said it before and I will say it again. I find shopping for clothes a chore. Seriously. I really dislike it. I can shop for others, but I can't for the life of me, shop for my own self. I can't explain why but when it comes to shopping for myself - I always dismiss it. When I travel, the first thing I think of shopping for are my kids. I'm at the bottom of my list, every single time - and I don't mind really. It's just that when I get back home and unpack, I can't help but feel kinda disappointed but then it's my fault, really.

I'm also lazy - I honestly need someone to *push* me to try on clothes. I don't have an eye for style nor fashion. I mean, I admire stylish people, but then I've come to realize that since I don't have the ideal body type, there's no reason for me to dress stylish. I've become too comfortable in what I've been wearing for the past years. I belong to the awkward stage of having the body of a pregnant woman but is not pregnant. I've honestly looked for jeans in the maternity section, because they're the only ones that fit (and I like the fit).

I'm so very lucky to have two friends who have become my stylists slash shopping friends. They're the ones who pulls clothes from the rack and have me try them. Our set up is actually perfect as that solves my lazy-ness problem. I have no qualms trying on clothes, my problem arises when the clothes that I pick don't look good on me. So when Kath and Tin picks the clothes for me to try, I love that they all look good on me! The only problem is - I can't buy all those clothes, so I have to choose which pieces to buy. Our first clothes shopping was done via Chicify.

I must say - I LOVE ALL THE CLOTHES THAT I'VE BOUGHT FROM Chicify!!

I love that they look classy without too much effort. The fit is perfect too for my body type (I'm a Medium in certain pieces - talk about boosting my self esteem! Hahaha..) They're very trendy and the look doesn't go out of style. I like that they use nice fabrics to make the dresses, the workmanship is very clean too. And the best thing for me is the price point. It's very reasonable considering the materials and the look of the pieces.

I don't think I have a single favorite item because they're all my favorites. Ask my Panget, if I can only wear them everyday - I would! Hahaha.. That's how much I love what I got.

Here are some of my favorite pieces from Chicify, these are official photographs from the site. As you all know, I don't do selfies. Hindi ko pa kaya. Kulang pa sa *push* hahaha!!

Thank you Kath and Tin! You are my two favorite shopping buddies.

Thank you Chicify.com for being my medium for shopping. I'm so happy that Tin and Kath introduced me to you. I can now say that clothes shopping is not much of a chore anymore. Hahaha! I'm so looking forward to what you have in store for us in the coming months. Thank you for making me feel *stylish* despite my size. Hihi.. :)

Check out Chicify - I'm sure you'd love their pieces. It's shopping made convenient!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
