(Forever 21 Top, Penshoppe Necklace, Plains and Prints Shorts, Tomato Watch, Tomato Shoes)

You can always see denim anywhere and it never fails us because it's one thing in your closet that will never go out of style and they can easily blend it whatever outfit you wear because of its versatility. It might seem a little risky but there are no rules to wearing denim on denim. With such a classic piece, it's always important to not only dress it up according to your style but it's also key to give it a fresh look by updating it with today's trends that is why I decided to add that Forever 21's top because cut-out clothes are now rising up.

SOIR DE L'AMOUR

SOIR DE L'AMOUR
http://lookbook.nu/look/4756649-SOIR-DE-L%27AMOUR

(Gown by Rollie Graza, Y.R.Y.S Hat, Bag from Landmark, Bianca Pumps)

Our theme for prom (02/03/12) is about Soir De L'Amour or Evening of Love. We should dress like we are citizens of Paris, France. I got this idea through the internet and couturier Rollie Graza made this all possible. I just added hat that I saw on Prince Harry and Kate Middleton wedding. I also want to have a bit of twist instead of long gown, I copied the idea of mullet skirt. And I believe the combination of Fuchsia and White is perfect to have the most eye-catching attire.

(Penshoppe Necklace, Penshoppe Top, Tomato Watch, Tomato Sling bag, Tomato Shorts, Mario d' Boro Gladiator)

Colorful outfits are the most popular today but I want to be different so I look back on where fashion starts the basic black and white or the neutrals. I just added a little hint of gold because I believe even basics needs to evolve. Don't forget to HYPE my looks on Lookbook :*

ALERT: Multiply Promo Code

2013-01-28T01:43:00.001-08:00

I am so busy these past few weeks on school because we had our 6th PFC (Parents and Facilitator Coordination) our 3rd to the last PFC that is why I needed to double time with my accomplishments. Anyway, I am back to share the ongoing promo which Multiply is offering.

I love watching tutorials at Youtube and this ad usually appears. At first, I am not interested because I thought that promo was ended long time ago. But I saw some online sellers who persuade buyers to buy minimum of P500 worth of purchase and use that promo code. I realized why not try to see it for myself if it's still working. First, I decided what product to buy that I really need not just buy any product just to use the promo code. I was bit obsess with my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (which I will be reviewing soon) so I decided to buy other shades addition to my Lips Collection. By the way, If you wanna see my Makeup Collection or you have other request feel free to comment below.

As you can see I use the code: "PH-CHECKOUT" that gives me P250.00 off but the Free Shipping promo was waive; that's okay because we prefer P250 off instead of P49 off right? You can also use "PH-TWENTYOFF" to get 20% off but I recommend this code if you are purchasing P1,000.00 and up because when you use this for purchasing P1,000 you will just save P200. Why not separate your orders into (2) P500 and get (2) P250 off. Yes you will pay (2) shipping fee but you still save a lot rather not using it any code or using "PH-TWENTYOFF". I hope it make sense because it is really hard to explain. Let's put this way:

NOTE: You can only use the same promo code once PER EMAIL. So I suggest make more account for more discount.

If you are having a hard time figuring out how to use the promo code THIS will guide you. If you also subscribe to Multiply Newsletter you will also receive another promo code to avail P250
off for a minimum of P1,000.00 worth of purchase that you can use for your future purchases when other promo codes expire. CHECK THIS OUT for other discounts.

COLLECTIVE HAUL: 3rd week of January

2013-01-19T03:04:00.000-08:00

I really want to control myself from shopping and this week I made it! So, bear with me if I only have a mini haul for you. By the way I am not bragging my purchases but I am sharing it with you to give you ideas what to purchase and not. Let's start:

1. SUESH SPONGE PUFF

WHERE: Suesh, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P200.00 ~~(P550.00)~~

SUESH STORE LOCATOR│SUESH ONLINE STORE

SUESH SPONGE PUFF REVIEW

Now I am not only the one who's in love with the blending sponge from Suesh because I already influenced my sister and my mom na. HAHA! I shared on my previous blog that I bought the violet one for my sister and now I bought this blue one for my mom. Even Suesh sells this blending sponge or what they call sponge puff back to the original price it is still worth to buy. I promise you will not be disappointed and you will believe impossible is really possible.

1. TOMATO SPOT ON SSLEEVELESS TOP

"Polka-printed top featuring embroidered deep peter pan collar."

WHERE: Tomato, Trinoma

HOW MUCH: P600.00

TOMATO STORE LOCATOR│TOMATO ONLINE STORE

I am tired of dieting but still gaining weight because of my old clothes. I noticed I should wear fitted tops not to emphasize the bulges on my tummy but the real shape of my body. Now I am checking how and what material are used because these all matters if the clothes are appropriate or not for me. What I like about this top is the unique collar and it fits me perfectly.

3. TOMATO ZAVANNAH HOBO BAG in Cream

"Faux leather hobo bag featuring tasseled and studded front pocket with buckled tabs on each side"

WHERE: Tomato, SM North The Block

HOW MUCH: P800.00

TOMATO STORE LOCATOR│TOMATO ONLINE STORE

I really prefer sling bags rather than backpack, shoulder and hand bags. It is comfortable just put it in your arms and swing as you go. What I like in this bag is it's hobo bag but it can act as a sling bag and it's leather plus the design and the color makes it so elegant and sophisticated. It has also a lot of space where you can put random stuff and it blends in any outfit you wear; it will be great for pants, shorts, skirts or dress but unfortunately not my school uniform :(

DECEMBER MINI HAUL

2013-01-19T03:02:00.001-08:00

1. MARIO D' BORO GLADIATOR

WHERE: Robinsons Galleria Dept. Store
HOW MUCH:P640.00 ~~(P799.75)~~

For 16 years (hyperbole), I had been wearing close shoes because they are your best friends who can accept and cover your flaws when you have creepy pedicure, but this time I am ready to get over it. I am only comfortable wearing flats because I am 5'7 (I believe) but others said I should wear heels to showcase my modeling skills. For me this is not the right time, when opportunity comes I will totally grab it. Anyway, I decided to purchase this pair of gladiator. I know gladiator is so yesterday but this one is different; it can make your whole look mesmerizing just be confident. If you are tired wearing your usual pair of shoes even heels, I totally recommend this; very fashionable yet comfortable.

2. ARMON SLIPPERS

WHERE: Robinsons Galleria Dept. Store
HOW MUCH: P295.00

I am sick of slippers worth thousands; I am practical but I admit I still buy luxurious items that are WORTH TO BUY; like Nike it's worth it for a pair of rubber shoes especially for athletic people, Jansport thousands for the lifetime warranty and quality or foundation ranges P800-1000 because I am also paying for the quality and the coverage not like other things which other people buy to be fashionable. You can still be fashionable by substituting affordable items, right? That is why I decided to purchase this pair of slippers. It is very fashionable yet affordable it doesn't look cheap like you can buy on the wet markets (in the Philippines) but it is NOT worth for a thousand peso.

3. DEPT. STORE BAG

WHERE: Landmark, Makati
HOW MUCH: P550.00

I have been addicted to bags especially candy and satchel bags. When we went shopping at Makati I was helping my sister to find a new bag but instead of helping her I decided to purchase this bag for myself. HAHA! I love the color especially this shade of blue and I was amaze when I noticed front and back has a different design.

4. LIPGLOSS PALLETE
HOW MUCH:$4.99

This is not really part of my collective haul but I want to share with you what Ninang Evelyn gave to me, she gave this together with #5 as a Christmas gift. I am not fan of lip-glosses because I have full lips and I don't want to emphasize it. I will still try this product before judging it and I will share a blog not only about this product but about "Lip-Glosses for Full Lips".

5. BATH&BODY HANDSOAP

I love colognes from Victoria Secret, Herbench and Bath&Body. Japanese Cherry Blossom and Sweet Pea are my favorite scents at B&B. For your reference I love Romantic Wish at VS and In Love in Pink and Sweetheart from Anne Curtis line at Herbench.

REVIEW: SUESH SPONGE PUFF

SUESH SPONGE PUFF COLLECTION
SUESH STORE LOCATOR│SUESH ONLINE STORE

old-fashioned tools

L/R: ELF foundation brush, ELF powder brush, Sigma F80 dupe, Artist Studio slanted flat top brush

I told you on my previous blog that I am using Revlon Colorstay foundation that has a thick consistency; that is why I am looking for a brush that will blend my foundation well to prevent caking up without affecting the coverage. I use a lot of techniques and tools like flat top brush, foundation brush, stippling brush and wedge sponges but nothing works. Every time I set my foundation with any powder (foundation, pressed, loose powder) it becomes cakey. The only option that I have is let my foundation dry and powder my face after few hours; it still controls my oil rather than not powdering my face the whole day.

Then, Beauty Blender came out of nowhere; it promises to give flawless and airbrush finish with easy application. And I can't wait to try it out! I read a lot of positive reviews but I found out it cost P2,000 and up. I was like; FOR A SPONGE?! 2 thousand bucks?! Being a practical freak, I settled down using my flat top brush or Sigma F80 dupe cost me only P149.00 from Landmark, Trinoma. In my opinion, if you are a newbie/beginner you will not spend that money for a sponge.

As time goes by, a lot of brands offer blending sponge or Beauty Blender dupe for a very affordable price. I bought Models Own blending sponge cost me P540.00 (including the shipping fee) but I were very disappointed and I don't want to buy any blending sponge EVER AGAIN! [Models Own Blending Sponge Review SOON] This December, Suesh had sale; they offer their Sponge puff (like Sonia Kashuk blending sponge) for only P200.00 instead of P550.00 almost 64% OFF, but their sale is only until yesterday. Not bad, P550.00 for this kind of sponge is still affordable. Let's start: (sorry for a long introduction)

I were very amazed with the effect; it is easy to use, it leaves light feeling, it really gives me flawless finish and same coverage like my flat top brush gave me, but the difference is: even I put a lot of makeup my sponge perfectly blends it for me and full coverage makeup still looks natural not thick. Using the stippling motion covers my pores as if I have a perfect skin and even I put a lot of powder it doesn't cake AT ALL. This sponge is very handy; you don't need to bring a lot of brushes because you can use it in applying foundation, powder, blush, bronzer ANYTHING.

Damping the sponge in water doesn't only doubles up size but it secretly saves your makeup; the sponge will not absorb any product because it already absorbs the water. And in my opinion I think the water helps the sponge in blending too.

When you wash it, some products leaved stains; it's already on your sponge and it cannot be removed.

Over-All Rating: 101/100%

One word for Suesh Sponge Puff : ECONOMICAL

Buy SUESH SPONGE PUFF; it's a must have on your makeup kit! (Disclaimer: I am not paid to do this blog write up. I am also not sponsored; I paid this sponge with my own money.)

APPLICATION: (same as Beauty Blender)

NOTE: You don't need to use the same cleanser; you can substitute using any anti-bacterial liquid soap you prefer.

UPDATE: Blog's Name Final Changes

2013-01-12T00:27:00.000-08:00

I wanted to represent my blog so I decided to change my blog's URL (thediaryofanenthusiast.blogspot.com) into charjoyfebre.blogspot.com and also it's easier to search my blog through my name. Don't worry this is final and I will not make any changes anymore. Thank you for your understanding.

HAUL 01/08/12

1. AUSTRALIAN CLOSE SHOES
WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH: P796.00 ~~(P995.00)~~

My black shoes is currently in repair shop but I needed it for school. My mom advised me to buy a new one even though our class will last only in 47 days. Almost a month na lang so nanghihinayang naman ako. (Then for next year I will be college, I want a new school shoes for a new year.) But I don't have any choice because I can't go to school without it; so I buy a black shoes that I can use for schooling and malling as well.

2. XOXO WATCH
WHERE: XOXO, SM North The Block
HOW MUCH: P1800.00 ~~(P2000.00)~~

XOXO STORE LOCATOR

I bought if for myself because I need a watch. My old XOXO watch got faded because I am acidic person. They are also on sale, I got this watch for 10% off; they also have a promo, when you use your BDO Credit Card and you reached P3000.00 you will have 15% off. Unfortunately they don't have the fuchsia one so I just got 10% off. What I love also at XOXO you can exchange it before 7 days with/without problem.

My mom liked it so I decided to give it to her because I still don't have a Christmas gift for her. And a while ago I saw a watch on Aldo; I will go back for that and share it to all of you. (My next HAUL is waiting)

WARRANTY SLIP

3. PENSHOPPE FLORAL SHORTS
WHERE: Penshoppe, SM North Main
HOW MUCH: P749.00
PENSHOPPE STORE LOCATOR

If you read my previous blog Enzo and I passed by at Penshoppe and I saw their next collections of shorts. I am amazed with the design because I am looking for floral shorts almost matagal na and I fell in love with it agad agad because it fits me perfectly. I also tried the black one but it is more for mestiza's or pink undertone while this white is for yellow undertone. I just have this vision where black and white is more appropriate even though you are maputi you still need to know where category do you belong. Are you on pink undertone more on whitish pink or yellow undertone more on yellowish.

DESIGN

4. MAX FACTOR MIRACLE TOUCH

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma

HOW MUCH: P895.00

I remember my Revlon Colorstay have been almost 2 months so paubos na siya. I decided to try different foundation because I am using my old foundation for almost 8 months and I used 4 bottles na din. I went to Max Factor because I have heard they have amazing makeup especially full coverage foundation. The saleslady suggest the age defying but I notice this "MIRACLE TOUCH". so she tried both foundation on my face and this miracle touch has a better coverage.

I will just try it first even for 1 week and when I am sure of it I will share my reviews and thoughts about this product. Watch out!

SHADE [SWATCH SOON]

SUESH SPONGE PUFF REVIEW

- The refining texture can perfectly maintain the powder to creates delicate look. The fine quality of puff is pliable to use for long time even after cleansing.

If you read my previous haul I just purchased my first Suesh sponge puff last Friday. And I purchased it again after 4 days. I just tried this Monday and obviously I love it. It is so amazing! I WILL DO A REVIEW SOON, maybe before this week ends.

I bought my sister violet and the blue one will be my stock. By the way they are on sale, I so I bought 3 sponges and I called buy 1 take 3. If you wanna try it out, I mean try it out! It is a must-have! You can use it for liquid, cream or powder foundation, blush on, face powder ANYTHING.

DAILY HAPPENINGS: Spendour 01/08/13

2013-01-10T01:56:00.001-08:00

I don't have any P.E t-shirt and black shoes and I will not be allowed to go to school that is why I decided to go to the mall with Enzo (my friend). While waiting him at KFC, I bought Longganisa Burger cost me P29.00. When he arrives he told me that Tea 101, Tomas Morato is not yet open so we go to Starbucks, Tomas Morato instead. I ordered Cinnamon Swirls cost me P65.00 and Strawberries and Cream (venti) cost me P175.00. At exactly 10 a.m we get a cab and go to Trinoma.

2 STAMPS PER DRINK

The cab drop as Landmark, Trinoma (cost us P90.00) so I decided to buy black shoes na. I bought at Australian cost me P796.00. Then, Enzo want a hair cut and he convinces me to get a hair cut too. We went to Bench Fix near People are People and it cost us P350.00 each. Enzo trimmed his hair and I got a layered hair style. I wanted the Bob cut one but it needs to be blow dry every single day.

We go to SM North because Enzo needs to get repair his phone. We drop by at Xoxo to buy my watch that cost me P1800.00. Then, we go to SM Annex to get repair Enzo's track pad that cost him P600.00. We saw the Barquillos Ice Cream and I tried it that cost me P30.00.

It already 1 p.m and we decided to eat lunch. We go to Tokyo Tokyo, I ordered Shogun Burger cost me P95.00 while Enzo ordered Sumo with Beef Misono and Chicken Karaage cost him P229.00. I saw Penshoppe's new collection and I feel in love with their shorts. It fits me perfectly! I bought it and cost me P749.00.

We go back at Trinoma to watch a movies because SM North is too crowded. I remember I almost consumed my Revlon Colorstay Foundation so I decided to try other foundation. I bought new foundation from Max Factor cost me P895.00 almost 70 higher than my usual foundation. Anyway, let's see how it goes.

Our feet hurts so we decided to watch movie na; we picked Sisterakas instead of One More Try because it is awkward for us. The movie ticket cost us P180.00 each. I am still full so I just bought Sola Apple Green Tea from Krispy Creme cost me P45.00 while Enzo bought Fries and Float at Mcdo. By the way Mcdo has this coupon with nice deals like Big Mac it will cost you P95.00 instead of P145.00

After watching movie I decided to go to Suesh and buy their sponge again. I got 2 new sponges; 1 for my sister and 1 for extra. Buying that same sponge again means I love it! Review here! It is almost 8 p.m and we go home because we still have classes tomorrow. Over-All I have spent P5774.00. SPENDOUR AGAIN!

NEW YEARS EVE 01/01/13

2013-01-06T00:12:00.003-08:00

It felt like the excitement and nervous are still there! While I am taking a shower my mom prepared me my dinner. So sweet of her! By the way I am currently on a diet that's why this is only my dinner. Chips and chocolate? Yeah, I'm on a diet :D

HAUL 01/04/13

1. EB ADVANCE BB CREAM

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P195.00

EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- A whitening, foundation and moisturizing cream all rolled into one! EB Advance BB Cream Whitening provides a flawless coverage while concealing blemishes and dark spots and protecting it from the harmful rays of the sun. With the help of its potent moisturizers such as Shea Butter and Vitamin E, it richly moisturizes your skin to make it soft and smooth.

They have 2 kinds of BB Cream, anti-wrinkle and whitening. I didn't get this whitening to improve my complexion but because this shade is much appropriate for my skin tone. The anti-wrinkle one is in the default shade of natural, more likely for mestiza's or whom with pink undertone. While the whitening one is in the default shade of oriental, more likely for asian or whom with yellow undertone.

2. EB ADVANCE HD COLORLESS MASCARA

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P100.00

EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- Is a simple and effective way to shape the eyebrows. It also serves another purpose: making your eyelashes naturally look longer.

I bought it for school because I wanted to stay my curled lashes while looking natural. Not like other mascaras they offer volume which is good but not for a high school student like me.

3. EB DIP DIPLINER

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P150.00

EVER BILENA WEBSITE

I am looking for cheapest liquid or gel eyeliner. But I saw gel types are much expensive. This product is cheap and controllable good for newbie who like to practice, because I noticed there are some liquid eyeliner that is thick and messy not for careless people like me. I have started practicing using the pencil one that every make up guru advised but I think liquid or gel type works better.

4. SUESH SPONGE PUFF

HOW MUCH:P200.00 ~~(P550.00)~~

SUESH STORE LOCATOR│SUESH ONLINE STORE

SUESH SPONGE PUFF REVIEW

- The refining texture can perfectly maintain the powder to creates delicate look. The fine quality of puff is pliable to use for long time even after cleansing.

I had been eyeing this product since the Beauty Blender started. I really wanted to experience the flawless effect and beginner to pro application this product offers. I bought Models Own blending sponge which I was very disappointed with. [Review and Suesh vs. Models Own Blending Sponge SOON]

5. MISSHA SILKY SOFT BASE IN "Green"

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma

HOW MUCH: P499.0
MISSHA PH FACEBOOK PAGE

- This silky soft makeup base applied all over the face, leaves skin lustrous and radiant. It helps to maintain clean and soft makeup all day long. Green is more suitable for girls who have reddish acne marks on their face because it minimizes redness.

It has 5 variations of colors, green, violet, pink, white and beige. I got mine in green because I have reddish acne marks that I like to minimize to use foundation for evening my skin tone not concealing or using concealers anymore.

6. PLAINS AND PRINTS

WHERE: Plains & Prints, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P497.50 ~~(995.00)~~

PLAINS & PRINTS STORE LOCATOR│PLAINS & PRINTS ONLINE STORE

They are having sale so I check it out but I didn't see the sale section and how many percent off. I just decided to fit some of their garments because even though their are bit expensive it is worth it for the quality and it their garments fits me perfectly. I see this blouse it has unique style in the sleeves so I have convinced myself buying it even thoughh it is roughly P1,000. I am shocked because it is 50% off cost me only P497.50. Great deal!

ENCHANTED KINGDOM EXPERIENCE

2013-01-04T22:29:00.001-08:00

AT THE CAR

TICKET

I woke up at 5 a.m. to fix my things and get ready because we will leave at 7 a.m. to travel from Quezon City all the way to Laguna. We didn't expect a smooth trip because it is Dec 31 and a lot of families will go to their provinces to spend their New Year Eve. It took us only an hour to arrive at El Cielito Inn. Not like our Hong Kong trip it took us an hour travelling from Cubao to Manila using shortcut. Anyway we just drop our luggage at the hotel and went to Enchanted Kingdom as soon as possible.

ENTRANCE

VICTORIA PARK

"Welcomes you into the age of Victorian elegance. Inspired by the era of Queen Victoria's rule, entertainers exquisite turn-of-the-century costumes take leisurely strolls around this charming zone. Here, one can meet and greet the park's mascot, Eldar the Wizard, and take magical ride on the zones centerpiece attraction, the Grand Carousel."

Our visit is right on time because there is fewer visitors. We have enough time to see the place and to ride all of their rides even though E.K will close at 7 p.m and not 12 mn. We are early at Enchanted Kingdom; they are not yet opening the gates. So my sister and I decided to take pictures outside and do a vlog. When we got inside the rides are not yet functioning so we walk around and take pictures, again.

SANTA KANGAROOS

FROZEN BANANAS

E.K is too big, so they decided to divide it like Disneyland. The have Victoria Park, Midway Boardwalk, Jungle Outpost, Spaceport, Brooklyn Place, Portabello and Boulderville.

MIDWAY BOARDWALK
"Coney Island, known as "America Playground" in the 1930s, comes to life at the Midway Boardwalk. This colorful and carefree zone features the most number of rides: Anchor's Away, Dodgem, Roller Skater, Up, Up & Away, Bump N' Splash, Wheel of Fate and EKStreme Tower Ride. sKill and video games, as well as performances by clowns and jugglers and mime artists, can be enjoyed here."

BOULDERVILLE
"Discover an era ruled by dinosaurs as you enter Boulderville, a per-historic cartoon zone designed to capture every child's imagination."

BELEN

FOR KIDS ONLY

SPACEPORT
"Relive the glory of the American space exploration program of the 1960s at Spaceport. Experience spin-tingling speed and flight like never before on the 11-storey high Space Shuttle, named after the first manned spacecraft designs for reuse. The country's first and only triple loop coaster turns rides upside down six time - 3 times forwayd and 3 times backwards."

ROLLER SKATER

Our first ride is Roller Skater at Midway Boardwalk. It is like Roller Coaster that is bit mild; more on like Wacky Dragon, Wacky Worm or Blizzard at Star City. Next we rode the Anchors Away; ordinary viking ride.

I wanted to thrill myself because I am not scared with Anchors Away and Roller Skater. So I decide to ride the Space Shuttle. My sister kim wouldn't want to join me, maybe this ride is really thrilling. I rode by myself and I am not disappointed. It thrilled me, not scared me. This ride reminds me of Sky Flyer at Star City.

NACHOS P145.00

CHEESEBURGER P130.00

It is already 11:30 p.m; my sister and I decided to eat lunch because I feel hungry and bit dizzy at the same time.We passed by at Hot Shots "The Ultimate Burger Experience" and decided to eat burger for lunch. I ordered Cheeseburger cost me P130.00 and my sister ordered nachos cost her P145.00. We share our food to each other to taste both. The cheeseburger is like ordinary cheeseburger but we ate it a bit messy. While the nachos is big serving; good for 3-4 persons I think. It has a lot of chips but unfortunately the cheese and salsa sauce is not enough. I also bought bottle water cost me P35.00; expensive but we don't have any choice and that is the part of their marketing strategy.

I am a bit okay; good for me because I brought Tic Tac and Polo candies to cancel my dizziness. We walk around this Brooklyn Place and take pictures again. I believe taking pictures are the most priceless souvenir and remembrance that will remind your once wonderful journey.

We visit some souvenir shops to plan what pasalubong would we buy. Their t-shirts are affordable cost around P325.00 - P399.00. They also have mugs, tumblers, ballpens, necklaces, bracelets, watch, jackets, shorts, raincoat, umbrellas, key chains, pouches and more. I haven't decide what t-shirt to buy so I decided to get back later.

Next we tried Dodgem (bump car) for fun and to ready myself at EKstreme Drop Tower. I hate the seat-belt it's too tight but without it I will not be staying on place. The car itself is also hard to control than other bump cars I've tried.

EKSTREME DROP TOWER

Besides Dodgem is EKstreme Drop Tower but I can't decide if I can take it or not. They handsome staff (blushing ...) was convincing me by daring me. "You scared? Can't take it?" He's kinda funny and cute so I make up my mind and try it by myself.

Whoa! I'm totally speechless! I felt like my soul and my body are apart! I can't even scream, but deep inside I'm totally dying! I wanted to scream so loud but I can't, even my voice didn't take it! EKstreme Drop Tower is one of the best and breath-taking ride I ever experienced. It's really nerve-racking but you should try it or else you will totally gonna missed the magical experience a waiting for you.

TRIPLE MIX P135.00

Regular size with melon, mango and junk-fruit

MONSTER SPLIT P229.00

Monster size with atermelon, kiwi, junk-fruit, chocolate syrup, vanilla and strawberry ice cream

I promise my sister when I rode the EKstreme Drop Tower, I will reward myself and we will eat in Ice Monster. Coincidence it is hot and sunny day; we really need some refreshment. I ordered Triple Mix and my sister Kim ordered Monster Split. I was really shocked that Ice Monster still exist. But sadly, they only have 3 branches at UST, Boracay and of course Enchanted Kingdom. If you will be trying Ice Monster. I suggest add some syrup especially the chocolate one; it makes difference.

UP, UP & AWAY

After resting for a while, we decided to ride Up, Up & Away. You are like riding hot air balloon that tours you by spinning you all around. I really had fun because of my sister Kim who's very afraid.

"PICTURE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"

NOW SHOWING: ROAD RUNNER

ZOMBIES

FLYING FIESTA

AMAZON BARBIE

WHEEL OF FATE

It's kinda weird because from all the rides I think this wheel of fate is the most scary ride. More scary than Ekstreme Drop Tower.

JUNGLE LOG JAM

Our last ride is Jungle Log Jam because it's a splashy and wet ride. I also planned to ride Rio Grande Rapids but a lot of riders looks like just went to a swimming pool.

We didn't ride the Magic Disk because this is just like Anchors Away with a twist to make you dizzier.

DAILY HAPPENINGS: Random 01/04/13

2013-01-04T22:18:00.002-08:00

It's too early in the morning, cinema's starts at lunch time. I decided to come back because I haven't chosen yet what movie to watch either The Strangers or Sossy Problems because I promised my sister we will watch Sisterakas and One More Try together. I went to Fully Booked and read "Bobbi Brown, Pretty Powerful". I finished it for 2 hours standing; it felt time slipped away. When I noticed it had been 2 hours I felt hunger and exhaustion. I decided to check some make up books at National Bookstore. I saw Sephora, Jemma Kidd, Face to Face and Rae Morris books; I really want to read it but I'm so hungry and tired of standing and/or of walking.

On the way to Bread Talk, Landmark I saw makeup section. I remember what I read in the Bobbi Brown book; use corrector and/or concealer not foundation. Foundation is all about evening skin tone. I'm looking for corrector and concealer but I didn't find what I want. I saw the BB Cream at Ever Bilena and tested on the back of my hand. I was amazed with the coverage so I bought it together with their transparent mascara (for school). It is pass 12:55 p.m I missed the first showing of Sossy Problems so I ate at Bread Talk na lang. I had my favorite Hot Chic but unfortunately they don't have Sola. After eating I came back at makeup sections to buy eye shadow palette and eyeliner to practice my passion. I also read at Bobbi Brown book, Never be afraid of practicing; it's just makeup and you can take it off easily. I haven't decided what eye shadow to buy; if it's matte, shimmery, neutral, cold or warm colors. So I just bought Ever Bilena's eyeliner because I notice it is the one eyeliner that is controllable that I have tested.

TICKET

I went to the Cinema for the next showing of SossyProblems is 3:10 p.m. I check my watch it is already 2:45 p.m I bought 1 ticket for myself (forever alone) and Large Apple Juice at Burger King because I'm not that hungry. I am in a hurry and went to Cinema 2 agad-agad, the guard told me "Maam, 3:10 pa po kayo". I was shockedand asked her what time na ba, she replied and told me"1:53 pa lang po". Oh my gosh! It's 1:45 not 2:45. I am like "Sayangyung apple juice ko" I don't have any choice just to walk around, drink my apple juice and wait for 3:10 p.m. I check out Tomato and their watch is still on sale (20% off). I also passed by Plains and Prints it is also sale. I fitted 7 items; the 3 shorts is doesn't fit well, 1 dress is hard to fit coz it has a lot of buttons, 2 blouse is bit small and the other blouse is perfect but it cost P995.00 roughly P1,000. I decided to buy it because it has a nice design and it fits perfectly to me. I was shocked when the cashier told me "P497.50 po". Sale pala, 50% off! Right choice!

I check Suesh (in front of P&P) because I need a sponge for lesser coverage than my brushes. I am choosing between wedge sponges or blending sponge. I bought blending sponge before but it doesn't work so I am a bit confused. The saleslady told me the blending sponge is twice bigger when wet (which my Models Own's sponge is not capable of) and it is sale! I got the blending sponge for P200.00 instead of P550.00. Another grab!

It is already 3:00 p.m so I decided to go na at Cinema 2 and wait inside rather than being late. The movie is fun and I like their fashion sense especially Rhian Ramos's outfits. After watching movie I went to Pop Culture because I am always eyeing on their makeup section. Thier Nyx cosmetics is bit pricey than other sellers online. I realized they are paying tax and rental which an online shop doesn't.

It's already 2013 and I want to change my foundation routine. I don't want to wear mask anymore, I want lesser coverage but still conceals my dark spots. Actually my dark spots are more on redness. I decided to buy green primer at Missha which I saw on Say Tioco Artillero's videos. If I wore green primer it will hide my redness and I can use lesser fondation just to even out my skin tone. And for dinner I ate Chunky Chicken at Plato wraps cost me P46.00.Over-all I have spent P2044.50. I am such a Queen of Spendour!

[MORE PHOTOS SOON] Look what I got home! This means new haul for you. Stay tuned for haul, reviews and swatches :*

DISNEYLAND ADVENTURE

2013-01-02T00:52:00.002-08:00

DISNEYLAND ENTRANCE

MICKEY MOUSE FOUNTAIN(day)

This blog is about sharing my Disneyland Adventure. We arrived there passed 3 p.m. We don't have enough time because we need to be at the train going to Shenzhen, China before it close. We only have 3-4 hours and that is not enough to see the whole Disneyland and to experience all of their rides. I will just share some of our pictures to tour you a little.

MICKEY MOUSE HOUSE

When you enter you can see the house of Mickey Mouse. You can feel like you are in the town of the Disney Channel cartoon characters and it will remind you of your happy childhood.

CITY HALL

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CINDERELLA\S CASTLE

SPACESHIP

Disneyland is such a big place that's why they divided it. They have Main Street in U.S.A, Adventure land, Toy Story land, Fantasy land, Tomorrow land and Grizzy Gulch.

ADVENTURE LAND

TARZAN'S HOUSE

TOY STORY LAND

PARADE

When we got there, there is a parade for the Disney Channel cartoon characters. And then we went to souvenir shops to buy remembrance and some pasalubong. I will just do a separate blog what I got there.

ATTRACTIONS

My mom and I ride the Big Grizzly Mountain in Adventure land; RC Racer and Toy Soldier Parachute Drop in Toy Story Land. B.G.M Runaway Mine Cars is like Roller Skater in E.K but underground style. RC Racer is like Anchors away but in-car form. The Toy Soldier Parachute Drop in like E.K Extreme Tower in Enchanted Kingdom but in E.K it is higher almost times 2.

JOURNEY 3/4: Shenzhen, China

2013-01-01T02:00:00.001-08:00

GORGEOUS HOTEL

I woke up again at 5 a.m., getting ready for a fierce breakfast at 6 a.m. Yes I slept and woke up without forgetting my hunger. The buffet area is smaller than Silka has,but catered real Chinese food. They have this delicious soya milk; I have drunk 5 glasses but not yet fierce enough for the beast inside of me. They have this weird sweet and sour vegetable, siopao with green veggies inside, simple pancit, lumpiang shanghai and my favorite Yang Chow rice. I think I ate 3 bowls of Yang Chow. I am so bloated, fierce breakfast? CHECK!

BUFFET AREA

CHINESE RESTAURANT

Our new tour guide I forgot his name and I can't imagine why. He is the best, funniest, accommodating, nicest, kindest and everything you wish in a tour guide. I hope when we get back in China he will still be the one to tour us. So in this picture, he's explaining our plan of the day.

First, we went to a Silk factory or store.

WINDOW OF THE WORLD

Second, we went to Window of the World; a park with a lot of imitation of all the historical and famous places in the world like Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and Statue of Liberty and MORE. Our tour guide offer us either walk around inside the park cost P2,000.00. or ride a train that will tour us around the park cost P750.00 if I'm not mistaken. But again we are group tour so we can't choose; Majority wins. Some members of the group have other plans and they only have limited time so the majority decided to ride the train. Again, I will do separate blog on the Windows of the World to make this blog a bit short.

HAPPY VALLEY THEME PARK

Shenzhen Shopping Area

Lastly, we went to Shenzhen shopping area; it is like Divisoria in the Philippines. They sell very cheap items but if they notice you are a tourist they will take advantage of you. Luckily I am a Filipino so I know how Divisoria works. Some items they offer 150 Hong Kong dollars but at the end of the deal they will just offer you 50 Hong Kong dollars it. So you need to bargain up to 70%. TAKE NOTE: BARGAIN ALL YOU CAN!

TIM TAM SLAM in "Caramel"

JOURNEY 2/4: Disneyland

2012-12-29T01:56:00.002-08:00

OUTFIT OF THE DAY
SHAPES beige top, PLAINS AND PRINTS maong shorts and JADA beige boots

I woke up at 5 in the moring to get ready for an awaiting adventure day and to eat breakfast. Silka's breakfast buffet is a American buffet to be exact that is good for the tourist to remind us our breakfast in the comfort of our home. But I hope they serve some Hong Kong dish to represent their culture. Their American buffet is like ordinary breakfast; they serve cereals, pancakes, scrambles eggs, sausages, fried rice, fruits, breads e.t.c

BUFFET AREA

After having breakfast my mom and I go out to see the life in Hong Kong. I saw double-decker buses which are really cool because we have different bus in the Philippines; just the ordinary one. A lot of buses passed us by so I decided to stay at the bus stop to wait and take a picture when the bus stops.

BUS STOP AREA

DOUBLE-DECKER BUS

A few minutes Yannie, our tour guide, came and picked us up. We arrived in a park where you can take pictures on some statues in a very relaxing sea view with fresh air.

Next, we arrived at a jewelry store. The sales representative is very funny and speaks Filipino too. He is also really convincing; thankfully we have controlled and save our money. We also stop by at a souvenir shop where you can buy cheap t-shirts with "I Love Hong Kong" printed on it, snacks and key chains and other stuff to remind you've been in Hong Kong..

VICTORIA COURT

DRAGON

BOAT

JUMBO FLOATING RESTAURANT

Next stop is a bay that reminds me of Manila Bay in the Philippines, you can't walk their but you can ride a boat that will tour you to the whole bay. This boat tour thingy is started by the fishermen because sometimes they have bad fishing day with no customers at all. They decided to let the tourist rent their boat for P350 or 50 Hong Kong Dollars to tour them instead of waiting all day for a good fishing. A little bit pricey but it is one way to help them like charity.These fishermen are really wise; they use their boat as a home because as I said Hong Kong is high living.

SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

OCEAN ADVENTURE

Our tour package is really Disneyland but some members of the group chose Ocean Adventure.

DISNEYLAND

Disneyland time! I will do a separate blog to focus our Disneyland Adventure and make this blog a bit short. After Disneyland we ride a train going to Shenzhen, China immigration. Arriving at China is not a good start because we need to use the overpass; it takes a hard and long time for us because we are carrying heavy luggage.

HONG KONG TO CHINA TRAIN

Gorgeous Hotel is a hotel for gorgeous only. Just kidding! The room and beds are bigger than Silka Hotel has. Again, we are all tired and hungry. I didn't eat at Disneyland because it is too expensive for me being a practical freak that lead me to eat chips for dinner. I thought that time I will just sleep and wait for the buffet breakfast in the morning. It's gonna be fierce!

JOURNEY 1/4: Airport

2012-12-28T23:50:00.001-08:00

DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL AIRPORT

Our travel is worth almost P12,000. It covers airfare, Cubao to Manila van service, Manila to Pampanga and Pampanga to Manila bus service, 4 days and 3 nights hotel with buffet breakfast and group tour in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. We check in at Eurotel, Cubao because our service van will pick us at 10 a.m. in Breadtalk, Gateway.

I hate the service van; we should have checked in at Eurotel, Manila and not travel Cubao to Manila with non-air-condition van. It is so hot and traffic; we travel for 1 hour and that 1 hour is the longest hour of my life. I can't even wait to smell the fresh air. We arrived at Malate, Manila and it feels like heaven. At last we will be riding on a air-condition bus going to Clark, Pampanga. It took us 3 hours If I'm not mistaken. I didn't get bored because it's cold and they had ongoing movie inside the bus.

Our departure time is 5:45pm. So we have time to walk around at the airport, because I have heard Clark, Pampanga is one of the best airports nationwide or worldwide.

TERMINAL FEE

At last its departure time. I can't wait because honestly it's my first time to ride an airplane. Not bad for a 16 years old teenager.

STAIRWAY TO AIRPLANE *kidding*

Here are some of my pictures inside the plane:

SAFETY FIRST

VIEW

We arrived at Hong Kong Airport after 1 1/2 hour. It's nice but the staffs are not accomodating. I don't know if that is how they speak and they are just busy and exhausted but hospitality is hospitality we are tourist. Anyway, my first experience in Hong Kong was cool riding a train from the airplane tube to immigration.

WHERE'S OUR TOUR GUIDE?

Our tour guide picked us at the immigration to drop us at the hotel. Our hotel is Silka Hotel. Our room have two single beds and a shower bathroom. It is not that big; the space is small just exact for 2 persons. But I've heard the room is expensive even it is small because Hong Kong is not only a Shopping capital but also a high living place. This is the end of the day. We are tired and hungry. All the restaurants are in Hong Kong language; luckily we brought cup noodles, bottled water and some snacks. Yey, Filipino moves!

BARCINO REVIEW

2012-12-28T10:29:00.000-08:00

It is 24th of December, we check in at the One Greenbelt Hotel in Makati to spend our Christmas Eve without a long drive home. We planned to watch the Dancing Light and eat at Ayala Triangle while waiting for the Christmas Eve. But unfortunately, we arrived at the Ayala Triangle and it's already closed. We watched the news that Trinoma has Dancing Lights too. I am so disappointed, because we can celebrate our Christmas Eve near our home. Instead, we decided to eat and not to go back in the hotel. We go to Greenbelt 2 and find a place to eat. We reserve a seat at Italianni's but we are the 11th one and on the other Japanese restaurant but we are the 5th one. We are so hungry so we tried at Barcino because there are available seats. By the way, Barcino is a spanish style restaurant. Now, let's go on the proper review:

GAMBAS CON BACON

We ordered Gambas Con Bacon for our appetizer, it is just simple fried prawns wrapped in bacon. I love bacon and prawns but I didn't meet my expectations. The bacon is tough and too chewy. It is also salty but the ranch dip slightly controlled it. The dish is a bit pricey; it cost P525.00 for 8 pieces.

ENSALADA CATALANA P275.00

A heraty mix of salad green with fresh tomatoes, onions, hard-boiled eggs, carrots, fuet with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

The salad is affordable because it is have and good for 4-5 persons I think. The salad is good but I didn't like the sauce because of the balsamic vinegar. It's too strong and I think I'm drinkng whiskey not eating salad.

ESPAGUETIS A LA CATALINA

Espaguetis A La Catalina is just simply spaghetti with red sauce. It is also affordable; it cost P335.00. Good for 3-4 persons I think. It is like ordinary spaghetti with a bit twist. I think they use wine in every dish in their menu because Barcino is not only a spanish restaurant but also a wine and bar.

U.S.A STRIP LOIN

I really love our main dish; the U.S.A Strip Loin in medium rare; good for 4-5 persons I think. It is so tender and the tomato sauce that comes with it is a perfect combination to the strip loin. It also comes with mashed potato that is good for 2-3 persons I think. The dish is heavy and worth the price that cost P795.00.

SALMON A LA BRASAS

Our 2nd main dish is Salmon A La Brasas; it is a grilled salmon with tomato sauce, mashed potato and grilled veggies(eggplants, potatoes, carrots). I also love it; if you want healthier and lighter go to the Salmon but if you are a meat lover person go for the Strip Loin one. The Salmon is fresh and cooked perfectly and the tomato sauce is also perfect combination with the Salmon.

Our desert is Creama Catalana; it is just simply Creme Bur Lee. It is a bit pricey because it is like Leche Flan with burned sugar on top. But the taste is good it's not too sweet, the texture is perfect, it's not too soft and the burned sugar is perfect it doesn't taste burned; its sweet. It cost P225.00 good for 2-3 persons.

I also love their shakes, we ordered Watermelon, Melon and Apple Shake; it comes with frest fruit also. The taste is perfect because you can really taste the fruit not the sugar or maple syrup. I think they use honey to control the sweetness.

Big smile on our tummy reflects on our faces.

TEA ROCK REVIEW

2012-12-28T05:54:00.001-08:00

"TEA ON THE ROCKS"

Actually we didn't plan to visit Tea Rock. We don't even know that milk tea shop exist because they are not famous like Chatime, Serenitea, Gong Cha e.t.c. But it's early in the morning and this tea house was the only one open.

Outside you can see the big sign which can really catch your attention. It symbolizes food, drinks and café.

the barista and counter area

the dinning area

the cafe area

the ceiling and lighting

First let's talk about the place and ambiance; this is one of the most important things. The place is relaxing; you have a lot of space not like Zen Tea, Banawe. The place can accommodate about 40-50 persons inside and 20 persons outside. It's colorful that can change your mood. Imagine staying in a black and white place its boring right? The place was also covered with songs, sometimes Korean songs that changed the place into a Korean Restaurant. The rest room is clean, you'll be comfortable too.

Second the menu. They have a lot of food and drinks to offer. They have rice meals, sandwiches, smoothies, frappes, and specially milk tea. What I like about them they have their own menu that you can only find on Tea Rock. Like the Milk Tea Float it means it has ice cream, they allowed two free sinkers, having Oatmeal Milk tea, Cranberry Lychee and more. Their price was also the same as the other milk tea houses; it ranges P80-100.

Third the staff was accommodating. They will be happy entertaining your questions and they also suggest what milk tea you would love. And they will not call you for your order, instead they will serve it personally to you with a big smile on their face.

As I said, everything has a bad side because nothing is perfect. What I don't like about Tea Rock are: they only have one branch on Banawe, the place is not covered with wifi which they should work on it, and they don't have twitter, facebook or any other form of advertisement. How can they share how awesome their restaurant is?

Blueberry Yakult / Oatmeal Milk Tea

By the way let me share with you what me and Enzo(my friend) ordered. Enzo ordered Oatmeal Milk Tea and I ordered Blueberry Yakult.

Blueberry Yakult

I know the photo looks weird. Let me explain, they yellow one is pudding and the white one is nata; two of their sinikers. The Blueberry Yakult is more on Blueberry which I really love. It's refreshing, good for a hot and sunny day. It has blueberry bits. You can really taste the blueberry not like in Tea Zone and Zagu, it's like powdered flavor. But in Tea Rock the drink is all about its true and real flavors.

If you are satiety in the common milk tea houses like Serenitea, Gong Cha, Chatime, Zen Tea e.t.c try Tea Rock in Banawe. Even though I can only find them in Banawe and it's not a wifi area I will come back as long as I taste every single entree they have.

PROs: real flavors, accommodating staffs, relaxing ambiance, lot of flavors, with snacks, large space
CONs: not wifi area, one branch only, no advertisements
Over-all Rating: 5/5

NOTES: Chatime, Zen Tea, Serenitea, Tea Zone, Zagu and Gong Cha review soon. FOLLOWS, COMMENTS and QUESTIONS are so much appreciated. If you have questions or opinions feel free to share it with us. Thank you for sharing your time. I hope you'll follow me to see my latest blogs.

REVLON COLORSTAY REVIEW

2012-12-26T20:28:00.000-08:00

My acne started 2 years ago when I was still 2^nd year high school student. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror I feel so disappointed and my self-esteem drops. I had searched how to cure my acne, they say acne can’t be cured but you can prevent it. I tried a lot of medications but nothing works. So I decided if I can’t cure it; I will hide it. I buy new make up almost every week not because I’m addicted to it but I can’t find the best product to suits my condition. I have watched a lot of foundation routine in YouTube but I am afraid wasting money in a product that doesn’t work. Last May 2012 I decided to try the Revlon Colorstay. I bought it at Robinson Galleria for P825.00. It’s expensive but it might be worth it. So I have been using it for 7 months this means I am satisfied and I can review it because now I know the product well.

Revlon Colorstay promised to last up to 24 hours. Which is a big lie, it can last but the coverage can’t. The coverage will just last up to 10-12 hours only. Not bad for a drugstore product. What I love about this is it acts as your foundation, concealer and powder. It provides medium to full coverage; you can add layer as long as you get your desired coverage. In 1 layer it can conceal my redness and blemishes but not the bumps of course; in 2 layers it can perfectly conceal my under eye circles. It gives me flawless finish even though I have break outs. “A little goes a long way” The product is thick and pigmented so you better not over use it because it will be your worst nightmare. It will give you cakey look and disgusting face which we don’t like at all. We want to have a perfect flawless face not to add our age. It has no pungent smell not like other foundation. Its light weight you can’t feel you have foundation once it’s completely dry. They also offer a lot of shades and I’m sure you can find yours too.

I hate the packaging at all; it doesn’t have a pump so you better be patient and careful to avoid wasting the product. The bottle is made of thick glass that adds weight on it. I suggest you buy a plastic bottle with pump; you’re going to spent P50 but you’re going to save a lot. The product also dries quickly so you better blend it fast.

I also suggest using it with brush; it can blend the product well and fast. As I said the product is thick so you can have hard time blending it with your fingertips. Also blend the product from inner to outer of your face and one part of your face at a time to equalize it. And never use powder after applying the foundation; powder your face 2-3 hours or when you feel it’s completely dry.

APPLICATION:
I prime my face first, using my Skindinavia Make Up Setting Spray and my ELF Mineral Infused Primer. I let it sit for a while so my skin will absorb it. Next, I pour the foundation on the back of my hand so I can control the amount before I put it on my face. I use my Sigma F80 brush to blend the product well. After applying foundation I spray it again with my Skindinavia Make Up Setting Spray set it and makes my foundation last longer.

PROs: medium-full coverage, lot of shades, works as concealer, no scent
CONs: no pump, dries quickly, needs a brush, not 24 hours coverage
Over-All Rating: 5/5

NOTES: Skindinavia Make Up Setting Spray and ELF Mineral Infused Primer will be on different blog. SWATCHES WILL BE POSTED SOON. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
