Fruit Magic and Tea Farm Milk Tea

If there's one thing i would like to continue for my diet program (seryoso na to!), its one glass of fruit magic everyday at work. I only order Body cleanser in Pure Nectar offer. Though it would cost me P120.00 a day ok lang basta pumayat lang ako ng konti. **wishing**

Kung gusto kong pumayat, eto naman kabaligtaran kasi dumodoble ang taba ko because of the milk teas. There's new milk tea brand in Makati named Tea Farm. If i had the time, i always bought milk tea in Tea Farm. Nakakaadik eh.. Balewala din ang diet ko no?

 

Don't you love milk teas?

Tea Farm is located in KPMG building in Ayala Makati.

 

Tea Farm kiosk

Open air station where you can have a chat with your friends while having your favorite milk teas.

 

Prioritea Card

 

After having Wintermelon Milk Tea on my first Tea Farm Milk Tea, last friday i tried the Dark Chocolate Milk Tea.

My prioritea card..

Six stamps to go!!!

Packing for CDO-Camiguin-Bukidnon Trip

Good Morning! I woke up this early to pack our things for our CDO trip.

Yesterday, as early as 10am i was in the mall already and bought the things needed for this trip. I really love SM malls because all the things you need can be found there.

Packing makes me busy yesterday:

 

Chargers

 

Sunblocks - my must have for this trip...

 

Gel and perfumes for both us

 

And the toiletries

 

And we're ready to go...

Im excited as usual! See you on wednesday :)

Apple Apps: Temple Run

I have a new hobby. Playing temple run in apple gadgets.

Blame it to hubby because he taught me how to play Temple run. I spend more time tinkering with the gadget than going online with the computer, hence the lack of updates. 

Before going to sleep, hubby and i are competing with each other in temple run. Trying to beat each other's high score.

Nakakaadik talaga.

BPI SIP Promo

Two weeks ago, a BPI promo mailer was attached inside hubby's credit card bill. We checked it and found a lot of items that are under their SIP promo. Credit Cards will really lure you into debt so we really have to control ourselves para walang utang :)

 

The mailer

 

One that catches hubby's attention was the iPhone4 promo. It was on 24 months deferred payment. He was asking me if i want to have one but i disagree with his plan of getting it for some reason. Instead of buying the iPhone, why not save it for the furniture in our house, right? One more thing is im not a techy person, masaya na ko sa mumurahin kong phone.

I told hubby na bakit hindi na lang ito itanong mo saken (image below), sasagot agad ako ng oo kasi wala pa naman akong technomarine watch. hehe

Deadma lang si Badz.

Frozen Yogurt : California Berry in SM Southmall

Tami and i went to Southmall last Sunday. We went around and window shop looking for some clothes that im planning to buy for our CDO trip next week. Then we had merienda in Mcdo as per request of my unica hija, after eating i leave her in Dave's Funhouse while i went to bank and pay some bills.

After playing for almost 3 hrs in Dave's Funhouse, i fetched her because hubby keeps on calling at tanong ng tanong kung anong oras kami uuwi. I asked tami if she wants to eat again but said nothing. She murmurs na ice cream na lang. On our way to DQ we saw California Berry near the escalator so we decided na yun na lang para medyo healthy :)

 

Pricelist

 

 

My baby waiting for her fro-yo

 

My Large Blueberry Fro-yo with 3 toppings (Pistachio, Almonds and Blueberry)

 

Tami's Large Plain fro-yo with 3 toppings (Strawberry, Fruit Loops and M&M's chocolate)

By the way, Sumosam restaurant will open in Southmall very soon. I can't wait :)

February Holidays.

Happy Holiday to US peeps

 President's Day

and 
 
Belated Happy Valentines to all!!!

Sorry for the late greetings.. im super duper mega busy at work :(

I know all of you guys had a great time last Valentines day, i even heard that its super traffic and almost all the restaurants are full with couples or family celebrating Valentines.

Well i did enjoy too, not by having a date but the surprise hubby gave to me. I came home and found this:

I didn't expect this. Hubby and i are not fond of celebrating Valentines but the thought of remembering Valentines is such a sweet gesture. Thankful to hubby is an understatement.

I was surprised more when i open the paper bag. 

 

My fave Nama chocolate from Royce..

and this Lacoste Pouch...

 

Yummy melts-in-your-mouth chocolate in AU Lait flavor.

Even our daughter made an effort to do this:

 

I think she made it in her school together with her classmates.

Hubby put the simple card in the paper bag too. The message was for both of us :)

Thanks Bi and Bebe Tam, i love you both!

Starbucks Favorites!

I always say in my posts that hubby and i always have a date in a month. Kailangan yun eh to keep the romance alive and i can attest to that. We've been together for almost 12 years and we're still the same, parang bf-gf lang kahit may anak na kami.

If we didn't go out and stayed in the house the whole day, we feel bored that's why sometimes we go out and walk around the village. Sometimes if his shift in the office will change from AM to PM, weekend pa lang nagbabago na sya ng routine, magyayaya yan in the middle of the night sa Starbucks to buy drinks just to keep him awake all night.

Last saturday, he wants Starbucks kaya gora kami kahit gabi na...

 

Me on a happy mood.

 

Our Venti size drinks

My fave Coffee Jelly and his fave Java Chip. When we were about to go out, Kuya Bing saw us at pinagalitan kami because ang takaw-takaw daw namin at ang hilig daw namin uminom ng kape. He was telling us kasi na mag-diet for my cousin's wedding dahil abay kami, pano nga namin kami papayat kung puro kami kain and inom ng kape :(

 

 

My handsome man.... Yun oh! 

How about you? Do you go out on a date pa rin kahit may anak na rin kayo? Share naman!

New Find: Organics from Healthy Options

Ever since i heard of Patty Laurel's blog, i became a fan not only because of her travel posts but because she always review and recommends good products. Despite being a celebrity, she managed to travel, bought fab items kahit hindi signature pieces and always search for products that really make her skin really good and what makes her unique with other celebrities is that all she did and bought was always on a budget that everyone can afford too.

One of her posts show that Healthy Options has good products that's really cheap and i was intrigued after reading it. I had the chance to visit Healthy Options when we were in MOA last weekend. I obliged hubby to go with me in the store.

 

For the meantime, i only bought three items just to try it. I have very sensitive skin kaya hindi ako pwedeng mag-try ng sobrang dami.

We were in Healthy Options for almost an hour just to look for items to buy and here it is:

 

Reviva Light Skin Peel

This was Patty's review on the product.  I am obsessed with this little tub! This is ONE-OF-A-KIND, all-natural exfoliant that shows immediate results for skin clarity, radiance and smoothness. It's a cheaper alternative to those expensive exfoliating treatments. Just simply cover your face with a thin film and scrub your way to a whole new healthy face!

 

I tried it once last wednesday and i feel that my skin became smooth after. Parang galing lang ako ng facial and diamond peel. It is advisable to use it once a week or twice a month. The small tub will last up to three application pero kung malaki ang fez mo at makapal kang maglagay for sure baka hanggang dalawang application lang. hehe

Blaze Terra Tints Mineral Tinted Lip Balm

In not a makeup junkie, hindi nga rin ako marunong maglagay ng makeup. Up to now i only uses lip balm and face powder when going to office. Sometimes i put BB cream whenever i feel using it. Nakakatamad kaya na everyday you have to put makeup and then remove it after... Kaya ako di na lang maglagay, di pa nakakapagod dba?

When i saw this tinted lip balm in Healthy Options, di na ko nag-dalawang-isip because its lip balm, mineralized, with suncreen at para na rin akong may lipstick. Its minty and matte when applied.

 

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Lip Balm

Its for hubby. He's having a problem with his lips kasi nakatutok daw sa kanya ang aircon sa office kaya he needs to moisturize it to prevent chapped lips. According to him it tastes orange, parang candy daw :)

What makes this products good is the fact that its 100% organic and natural.

See its nutrition facts.

For us to have smooth skin, lets start to use organic products because its really good for our skin. And definitely i will repurchase this items again and will try other Patty's recommendations.

Don Henricos on Pyromusical Weekend.

Date of Visit: February 11, 2012

I never thought that iPhones need to update every now and then and its the reason why we went to MOA last week. Ganun din ba ang iPod touch?

Updating and adding new games will take more than an hour and while waiting for it we decided to go inside the mall and look for something to eat for merienda. It was past 4pm already and sobrang dami ng tao, parang sale pero hindi naman. We dropped by first in Starbucks because hubby wants to have his fave JAva chip frap and while walking we saw Don Henricos na konti lang ang tao kaya dun kami kumain.

 

After so many years nakabalik din ako sa Don Hen kasi the last time i ate here was high school pa ko... hehe. We frequent this restaurant when it opens in Festival Mall in alabang, elementary pa yata ako nun and everytime were in festival before, its always Don Hen the top choice of my relatives. Medyo sikat pa ang Don Hen nun and even artists always dine here kasi malapit lang sa parking and medyo malayo rin sa laging pinupuntahan ng tao. Well iba na ngayon sa dami ng new restaurants around the metro.

Stolen shot.

Di naman kami medyo mahilig sa picture no?

Since its merienda, we didn't order heavy meals because we're planning to eat in Lugang Cafe for dinner that day. I want to order sana Pasta with their signature meatballs kaya lang nag-alangan ako at baka di ko na kayanin mag-dinner. Instead of heavy meals, we order the following:

 

For drinks, hubby had water only because he has starbucks while i chose Peach Nectar.

Chicken Fingers and Potato Wedges

This order makes us full already. Chicken was in a huge portion and i love it because its really juicy and hot.

 

See? Ubos agad and wala pa yung ibang order namin.

10" Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

We only consumed half of it because we're already full at ang bigat sa tyan :)

Beef Calzone

Hubby ordered this one and he wants to try if its the same with SnR's Beef Roll. This came late so we never had the chance to try it. We took home this Beef Calzone together with the half of the pizza.

Good thing i didn't order pasta. Now i wonder if their pasta is still the same nung dati pa. So many changes in their menu. Hoping i can get back in Don Hen and have their pasta with giant meatballs again :)

Restaurants in Alabang Town Center

Thank God its Saturday! Time to rest and at the same time enjoy the weekend. All of us in the office were so happy yesterday because we received a blessing! Mga mucho dinero :)

Today, hubby and i will be going to mall after his office. Don't get me wrong if we didn't bring our daughter because everytime hubby and i go for a date, we make sure that we also have time to our daughter like for example tomorrow, i scheduled to bring Tami to SM southmall so we can bond and she can play in Dave's Funhouse. Basta ill make sure that i have time for hubby, for my daughter and for myself. Mahirap talaga to divide the time especially if you're a working mom but im trying to balance all and so far im doing good.

Back to my topic, our date is just a simple lunch or dinner in any restaurants that we've never tried before. Alabang Town Center has lots of new restaurants and i wanna try all of it. I have tried almost all the restaurants in ATC except the following:

Bulgogi Brothers

Crisostomo Restaurant (Filipino Cuisine)

BonChon Chicken which i really look forward to everytime we're in ATC but its always full so we ended up looking for another place to eat.

P.F. Chang's - the newest resto and the first in the Philippines. I can't wait to dine here.

J. CO Donuts and Coffee

Who doesn't love doughnuts?

Hay... i can't wait to try all those restaurants in ATC in the next few weeks or maybe months. But for now ill look forward to eat in Lugang Cafe or Buffet 101 later in MOA :)
