Mai-Mai The Sleeping Cat

Hi Chingus!

Sorry for being MIA for a long time..my work and personal life has been giving a hard time. I hope you miss me as much as I miss being with this web corner. For my comeback post I'd be introducing my new pet cat Mai-Mai. She's a stray cat that we found at our front door. This is not the first time that we had a pet cat here at our apartment. Not so long ago we had our pet cat named Mimi but he lived for about a month only. He became sick and then passed away.
We hesitated on adopting Mai-mai as we feared that she might end up leaving us behind too. But when I saw here I just fell in love with her and immediately took her in.  I only have few pictures of her because she's camera shy. I can only take snapshot when she's sleepy or actually sleeping. I think she's about 2 months old now. And she continues to grow everyday which makes my heart melt and bring joy to our stressful life. I hope I can go back to regular posting real soon (⌒.−)＝★

Saturdate

Hi Chingus!

Yesterday was a fun day with Hubby. Aside from the usual household chores that we normally do together. We went out on a date late in the afternoon because we didn't want the sun to burn us. When we go out on a date we don't go to fancy restaurant...were just like any other normal couple.

Our first stop is at Mang Inasal located at Shopwise Araneta. We were dead hungry so might as well go for unlimited riiiicceee yeah! 

I'm not sure if its only me but I was getting too much attention when I was taking pictures o_O

After eating, we went to Gateway Mall, Araneta. Our first stop was at Timezone, Hubby was looking for a game to play until he found this Street Fighter game. A player left one credit and Hubby decided to continue the game but unfortunately he only won one game. 

We also found a photo exhibit at the Gateway Cineplex. It's really amazing how photos say a thousand words. I envy some of the piece that I saw because I think their perfect and the skill of the photographer is really admirable. I hope that soon I'd be able to create something like this.

And of course, one of the reason why we went on a date is because Hubby wanted to see Sarah G. and John Lloyd's movie "It Take a Man and a Woman" haha! Don't criticize him..he is a super fan and I admit, the movie was nice *giggle*

We took the last full show because the other cinema is jam-pack. We need to kill time...because our waiting time was two freakin' hours. And even if were inside the mall it seems that their air conditioning is too low because it was still hot. 

Hubby bought a 16 oz. of Brownie Temptation Blizzard at Dairy Queen to quench the heat. 

Yah! My precious selca moments with my favorite pose. As you noticed I'm still struggling on my eyeliner skills. I think I went overboard on this one haha! but Hubby said its not that noticeable.  Well that should be it for now..God Bless everyone!

Cosmetics Acquisitions

Hi Chingus! 

I hope you are all doing well. It's weekend and it feels freakin' good LOL. I have been constantly adding a number of cosmetics on my make-up collection. When I look at my stash, I feel very rewarded. Below are my recent impulsive purchases XD

These MeMeMe and Beauty UK babies was purchased at MakeupHOLICS stall at Cinderella Store, SM Megamall. I still have some fears on buying products online. I usually doubt if the shade will suit me. It's a good thing that MakeupHOLICS has a physical store. At least I'd be able to test their product before buying it. I was also shock that I was able to buy 5 lippies in one purchase.

Aside from lippies my next obsession would be eyeliners. Though I still can't do a perfect wing liner, I believe that I'd be able to perfect it with more practice. This time I'd be trying Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner and 4U2 Dip Liner.

Here's another product from Etude House that has been long out of stock. Their Proof 10 Eye Primer as of the moment this is the best eye primer that I was able to use.

My friend Rin-chan has been using this IN2IT brow powder for more than a year. She said that this product is really worth it but like Etude House' eye primer this has been long out of stock. I believe its time for me to learn to groom my eyebrows. Am I being too vain now or what? (⌒.−)＝★

Sundate + FOTD

Hi Chingus! 

Me and hubby had our regular date last weekend. We usually enjoy simple walks and window shopping. But since we just had our payday before the week ended, we decided to enjoy and relax ourselves. I made an effort to look special on that day haha! I didn't want to look stress during our date. 

I'm not good at smiling so I think I look sleepy on this picture haha! I'm still practicing on wing eyeliner application to make my eyes look livelier. 

 Of course hubby has his own vain shot with the crazy background. 

Our first stop was at Chatime at Ali Mall. We were tired at walking so we decided to to take a sip and sit down for awhile. 

We actually shared on this drink because Hubby said he won't be able to finish I drink on his own. He loves milk tea so he ordered Lychee Milk Tea with coconut jelly. After finishing this drink we looked for a place to eat our lunch. 

We found Hap Chan at Ali Mall as well and this would be the first time that we would be eating at this place. We ordered Lechong Paksiw with Cu Pao, Squid with Salt and Pepper and 3 cups of rice.

In addition, I love the tea that they serve while waiting for the food that we ordered. It was very soothing. After our sumptuous lunch, we decided to watch a movie at Gateway Mall. 

I was planning to have an OOTD here but hubby wanted me to be with Iron Man..that crazy guy XD. We watched Jack The Giant Slayer because I wanted to see "R" so much. The movie is quite good and to be honest I like how they put maturity on fairytale.  Am I weird 「(°ヘ°)? Anyways it was a tiring day but I have enjoyed it so much. 

Have a lovely week ahead of you guys!

Puerto Princesa Adventure Day 3: Puerto Princesa Departure

~Ola

This is the saddest part of our trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Aside from the fact that we need to go back to our normal work lives, we would be missing the beautiful people and places at Palawan. We would be flying back to Manila via Zest Air and the time of our departure was suppose to be at 5:25 p.m. 

 Ah..so domestic airport had cheaper terminal fee and the place is well maintained.

We encountered same problem when we were at Palawan. Our flight was delayed once again because of the famous problem delayed arrival of turn around aircraft. It was not only Zest Air, there's Cebu Pacific and Airphil Express.

Well, instead of getting upset since there's really nothing much we can do. We just enjoyed chatting and looking at the pictures that we took during our vacation. The aircraft arrived at almost 7 p.m.

We actually spent like 10-20 minutes in the air circling the runway because of air traffic. And after landing, we were not able to get off immediately because the the aircraft didn't have a proper parking space. We were waiting for other passengers to get off the plane because the exits are still crowded, everybody was excited to leave. 

Somehow it feels good to be back...This vacation had brought me wonderful and scary memories that I won't forget. I'm looking for another great vacation in the year 2013 

~FIN~

Puerto Princesa Adventure Day 3: Pandan Island

~Ola

The last island that we visited was Isla Pandan. When we were on our way to the island, the wind was blowing hard and the waves are kinda crazy again. Our boat was like doing a wild rock-a-bye baby by the waves It was the Southwest Monsoon acting weird As usual, I was on my prayers at the back of my mind..God is good because he let us reach the island safe and sound.

Another breakdown of expenses at this island: 

100 pesos per pax ~ entrance fee

350 pesos ~ picnic table rental fee

250 pesos ~ lunch meal  

After settling down at our picnic table, I explored the island but I didn't go far. I might get lost you know.

The shade of our table

 Trees are all around

Our lunch took a long time to be cooked. But it was worth the wait because it tastes so juicy and fresh. 

Grilled seashell

Stewed seashells in ginger and malunggay leaves

Our belly was sooo round and stuffed. We spent the next minutes resting..we can't barely walk LOL.  We made sure that the food that we ate is already fully digested before we went back to the water to play. 

Hubby and I had so much fun but it was too windy and the waves were getting bigger. We decided to leave the island by 1:30 p.m. so that we can go back at the hotel at 3 p.m. to grab our things. It was one crazy boat ride once again. The waves were big and strong that it can already flip our boat over. Would you also believe that are boat man wore the life jacket in case of emergency. I was really panicking and I kept on asking myself on why is it taking a long time for us to reach the seaport of Honda Bay. 

My hubby kept on holding my hand but he was smiling because for him, it was a thrilling experience to literally ride with the waves. My prayers were again answered when we were able to reach the seaport safe. But I noticed that the seawater near the port was already brown like it had too much soil on it. I figured out that the coast guard was no longer allowing tourist to leave the port due to bad weather condition. Whew, such a relief! I would never forget this trip but it won't stop me on going back to Palawan for more vacation adventure.
