My new found hobby..

Taking pictures! I've enjoyed doing this for quite some time now but never really had the chance to buy a good camera. Anyhow, now that I have a digital camera along with me, i'll try to show you how I see things my way.=)

Take a peek at my new pHoto bLog!

Review on a Purchased Deal : Ristorante Pia y Damaso

P300 for P600 worth of Food and Drinks at Restaurante Pia Y Damaso in Greenbelt 5!

Comments :

This was our first attempt to eat at a resto in Greenbelt 5 and our first time to consume a deal bought from any groupon site. We first went here the day I bought the voucher. My bad, I didn't notice that the redemption date should be a week after pa. So anyway, we were already there and we already consumed P800 something bucks for a meal that I'm sure my hubby can do better at. With that, I was able to prove that the write ups I've read about this resto was indeed true.
I instantly agreed that they we're not good at their main courses. When we returned at this resto a week after, we consumed P600 worth of voucher on desserts,where they are well know for talaga, siyempre this means we ate dinner somewhere else na.Lol.

BTW, we devoured on Sisa's Dementia and Ibarra's Kiss. :)

Rating (5 being the highest) : 3.5 for the main course but hats off to their desserts, i'll give that a rating of 5 :)

Review on Purchased Deal : Benefits Style Salon

Only P249 for Hair Keratin Treatment for all hair lengths at Benefits Style Salon (valued up to P1,000)

Comments :
Last week, I went to Benefits Style Salon at Libis and enjoyed this hair spa deal together with my SIL . It was actually me and my sweetie's advance birthday gift for her.hehe.. Again, service is great.:) Their team at this salon was very accommodating. Not sure if it's just part of the deal but we we're also given complementary iced tea once we arrived.

Going there is just a little difficult though especially if you haven't been to Libis area. Good thing my SIL knows this place very well.

Review on a Purchased Deal : Shokuji Restaurant

Only P250 to Enjoy Succulent Sashimi, Crunchy Maki & More Healthy Japanese Treats at Shokuji Restaurant! (Original Price: P500)

Comments :
Me and my sweetie were supposed to spend this deal on our 5th wedding anniversary. But since, we didn't have the luxury of time to visit Shokuji's branch in Makati on that day, we decided to visit this place after a working day.

This is one deal that was really a sure value for our money. The service was great. Crews were nice and attentive to our requests. I so much enjoyed eating their Shitake Beef Rolls. Just hearing the name makes me want to come back and order it again. I still can't get over the taste. The sweetness of the sauce was just right, the mushroom was juicy and the beef was cooked perfectly. I love how the taste come all together in my mouth.Yum!Yum! I also enjoyed their Gyoza! It was soooo tasty. Since this is one hidden resto at the heart of Makati, you won't really find this place crowded even if the area is not that big. They also have a small area where you can have a small gathering for i guess 20 or 25 pax?

What a Lazy Afternoon..

It's a rainy stormy Chedeng day this afternoon.. and it makes me feel kinda lazy.. Just a little (don't worry). Anyway, since the storm is up, want to share this laaaazy song with you from Bruno Mars. This nice and light song. Really funny. You better watch the music video, it hilarious! I like it! A lot!

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out

This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

Review on Purchased Deal : ACT Dance and Arts Academy

We got two vouchers for ACTS from Cash Cash Pinoy. The deal says "Only 175 for a Dance or Fitness session at ACTS Dance & Arts Academy!

Comments :

I bought this because the deal said that you can use it for classical ballet. When I called act academy to schedule a session for my two girls, they said classical ballet is not included on the deal. If you look at the description at CashCashPinoy, it clearly stated that classical ballet is part of their open class offering. I tried to do a refund on CashCash but they just suggested to give the voucher to a friend. So disappointing.

I need to comment out the post I previously made for this deal. Am just so grateful that after a couple of email exchange with Cash Cash Pinoy, they extended there service a bit by taking time to discuss this deal with ACTS. So thank God that my girls were able to consume the vouchers we bought. Special thanks to my sweetie for accompanying our girls to their ballet session and to my two SILs for coming with them. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go with them since there were no available weekend schedules for their pre-ballet class.

Here are some fun pics:)

Baking 101 with my daughters

I almost bake every night. And my girls have already gotten used to seeing me in the kitchen
with what they call "my stuff". My girls, specially missy, usually goes to me and asks me tons
of questions when i do "my stuff". Questions like "what are you baking today mommy?",
or "what is that?" and "what does it do?" (while pointing to an ingredient i've just
added on my mixing bowl) are just some of her common repeating questions.

Now, once missy sees me do "my stuff" she always tells me that she wants to help.
It's fun coz i feel like im starting to breed a future pastry chef here. lol.

Oh well, here are some pictures of me and my girls..on the kitchen..doing "my stuff". :)

missy explaining to me what she's doing:)

here's cj as she gets excited to see her sister use "my stuff" :)
