I hadn't had the chance to make a very detailed post - thus, I will be posting an entry in bullet form: Was late to my first ever godson's Christening. The person to blame? My Panget of course! I was so disappointed in him, so disappointed . My new ' kumare ' forgave me naman ( I think ) but still - it was my first ever godson's day and - I wasn't there. What a ninang ! My Panget was all apologetic - kinda not enough though, but don't tell!! Zacch - my godson is the cutest ever!! He's very mobile (I mean for a 3 month old) He smiles alot and is so quiet!! Awwwwwwwww..... Such a cutie!! For the first time ever - played the Nintendo Wii at Andy and Annie's place. It was really fun! Literally, a very interactive game for everyone!! My right arms was sore until today! Went to watch A Love Story with my best bud KC in TriNoMa. I was expecting myself to shed a tear here and there - but I didn't! It was KC who did! Liked the movie - it w...

I'm such a fan of Tagalog movies! I especially love the Christmas holidays here in Manila because of the MMFF - Metro Manila Film Fest! You can ask my Panget and my friends about it - they'd snicker and say that I really do love Tagalog movies. Okay, so yesterday - I woke up early - to watch 'A Love Story' with my best friend KC at Trinoma. We decided to watch it on its first showing which was 1230pm so we can do some other stuffs in the afternoon. The cinema was not so full - but acutally - when I think about it - I think for a Sunday morning - and since the movie has been shown for about 2 weeks now - it was still quite full! Anyhow, most of those who watched with us were - women!! Hahah.. I know.. The movie was nice. I liked it! I mean I liked it. It was a different type of Tagalog movie. They say that for a Tagalog movie - when you get to see the trailer on TV - that's it, you've seen it all! But with this movie - I was curious - who was the wife an...

There's a saying 'Suckers are born every minute' and I believe it! Because officially - I am one of them!! You see, I have been eyeing this Anya Hindmarch 'I am not a plastic bag' bag. It's already sold out everywhere! I've been lurking in eBay - to find that - THERE ARE KNOCK-OFFs! What else is new, right? Well, - okay - I have looked at so many pictures that I think that I can spot a fake one from a genuine one. There's this seller in a forum I'm part of - and she posted that she's selling one. She posted it on her site and in the site - there were 6 images. Okay - for a normal person - I think the pictures she supplied were enough - but as I learned from the expert goodguyyoung of eBay - he made a review actuallly it's not a review - it's a guide on how to spot a fake Anya Hindmarch - a buyer should ask for more pictures! And so, I sent her an SMS to ask if she can give me more pictures, closer images of the letters - she r...

I've heard a lot of raves about Marta Matute's cakes - I've seen quite a few and tasted only one. I liked the colorfulness of her cakes! That is what actually sets her apart from the other cake makers - the style she uses to decorate her cakes. I read from Market Man's post that she opened shop in Serendra. I was there about a month ago - but missed it! But about 2 weeks ago - I made it a point to go and visit the place - to see what it was about. Before I entered the shop - there was a sign at the door that said they were on dry run. And so when I entered the shop - I was expecting to see lots of people going gaga in the kitchen - kind of like what I saw in another dessert place just down the street. But alas - it was not! Instead of chaos - there was complete steady -ness. I was welcomed by a spacious restaurant - a well lit store, cute tables and chairs for adults and kids - a chiller with colorful goodies - and Ms. Marta Matute herself! She greeted me and my...
