Promod and 158 at SM Southmall?

After Tami's recognition, some of the students and the yaya's has a scheduled gimik... They decided to go to ATC so the kids can play in the new wing and the yaya's are enjoying because they can bond with each other. Syempre hindi na ko sumama dun, i just gave the yaya P500.00 for their food.

What i did is i went to Southmall and met hubby after his work then we walk around Southmall and hubby looks for new shoes. As i loiter around the mall, i noticed that SM Southmall has Promod now. Wow.. lume-level na rin ang SM Southmall ha!

Promod Outlet

Promod is a French Clothing and can be found in Paris. But it has branch here in Greenbelt. So i was thinking, bakit nila naisipan maglagay sa SM Southmall, why not ATC or MOA... Anyway im happy to see that SM Southmall now has the upscale outlets.

If you guys can afford to buy Zara or Topshop or Marks & Spencer, why not try Promod. They sell good quality clothes, if youre like me who goes for quality over quantity, then Promod is one place to be. Go check it out..

And not only that... they have 158 very soon...

Wow again!

Across the Promod and beside the Nine west outlet, they soon to open the 158 Designers Blvd. Yey! No need to go to ATC, Greenbelt or any ayala malls because you can found branded things already in SM Southmall...

ATC has 158 Designers Blvd across the Kenneth Cole outlet, but why go to ATC if Southmall can offer you the same things right? 158 Designer Blvd. houses Kate Spade, Ralph Lauren, Furla, Charriol, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, DKNY etc...

I cant wait to see and set my foot to this outlet in Southmall.

Cosmopolitan: What's in my Bag?

Our training ended yesterday! Yey! Back to normal work... I now have more time to blog... And its saturday, nothing to do and now i decided to blog Cosmopolitan's "What's in my Bag?" my version.. hehe

I am a fan of Cosmo's What's in my Bag Page. I always visit their site to check whats new and take a peak with our local artists beauty loots, oh and the bags! I love it!!! And i must admit that im a hoarder but organized person. I love posts like these! It’s so interesting to see what other people are carrying around and sometimes it gives you an idea what you should need to try, for example on makeup, some people has reviews on their post and for that you will know if its worth buying or not.

To start with. I will show my favorite office bag. I change it everytime im in the mood to use my other bags and depends on what im wearing.

GAP Bag

I always loved this Bag, kaya nga the last time i did garage sale, hindi ko sya binenta..

Below is my daily essentials:

Planner

Because i feel im an OC person, i make sure that i take note all our expenses to keep track of it, our payables and some other things to do.. Its very important to me kasi sobrang makakalimutin ako (some other say because of the anesthesia when i gave birth to my Baby kaya naging makakalimutin ako)

Kate Spade Wallet

Everyone needs wallet to keep the bills.. In my case, puro cards and receipts lang ang nakalagay jan...hehe.. I use my coin purse for my money.. Ewan ko ba sa sarili ko bakit pag may nagustuhan ako bili agad kaya i end up not using the things i bought, nakatambak lang.

Cellphones and headset

I told you before that im not a gadget person. Basta may text and call lang keri na...What i love the most in my fones is in my Nokia, i have radio that i can use when going to work, i love listening to Goodtimes with Mo in the morning and with my Samsung, ayaw ko syang mawala because it has flashlight and its very important nowadays because of brownouts dba? Saka kiber ko ba kung pangit fone ko. Celfones are not investment because every month it depreciates.. Will talk investment on my next post.

Perfume

I love the scent of this Benetton Inferno, thanks to my officemate for introducing this scent to me. Cheap pa!

Toiletries

Contents of my toiletries:

Toothbrush and toothpaste

Black Beauty Hair cuticle - for my bad hair days...hehe

Hygienix Sanitizer - i love the smell of this sanitizer, you can bought this at any 7-11 stores..

Bath and Body Works Hand Lotion

The Faceshop Sunblock for Face - i can attest to this product that its really good in the skin.

Sanitary Napkin in the Blue Napkin Wallet

Kikay Kit

See here the contents of my kikay kit..

ID, Pens and Calculator

If im meeting with client, i have to use my big bags so i can carry my portfolios... I just transfer some of my daily essentials from my office bag to big bag. Here it is:

Kenneth Cole Reaction Bag

Havaianas bag

And the contents:

My portfolios and some flyers..

Calculator, pens, markers and notebook

I now realized that i forgot to take picture of my coin purse and umbrella....Basta its also one of my daily essentials..

To end this post, ill show my bag rack:

Im thinking of mini garage sale when its time to transfer to our new house to dispense some of my things.

What do you think?

Temptation of Wife

pic stolen here.

Do you know this show in GMA-7 called temptation of wife?

Temptation of wife is a koreanovela drama and was translated in Tagalog here in the Philippines.

Synopsis of the story:

A serious accident left Marcel believing that his wife, Angeline, drowned and died. However, Angeline survived the accident only to return to find that her husband has another woman and a child.

One night Angeline got drunk and Marcel took this opportunity to take advantage of her. Angeline and Marcel got married but their marriage is not a very blissful marriage. Angeline's best friend, Haidee, openly flirts with Marcel in front of Angeline. Marcel decided that he did not want to remain married to Angeline and tried to kill her. Angeline was presumed to have drown and died. Marcel thought he was successful in killing Angeline and moved on with Haidee. Months later, Angeline is back for revenge but she presumes the identity of another woman, Chantal, who had killed herself. How will Marcel react to a girl who looks exactly like his presumed dead wife, Angeline? Will he be tempted by Chantal

And did you know that i became instant fan of this show? Yes I did! Everytime i rode the bus going home (around 4 to 5pm), the tv on the bus is always tuned-in to Channel 7 and with my 1hr ride to bus, i was able to know the story of this show.. hehe... Sa house naman hindi din ako makapanood because our tv is on disney or any cartoons channel when tami is watching or in discovery/history/hbo channel when hubby is watching.. Thats why im not updated with the local shows here.. Sa office lang ako nakakasagap ng mga tsismis regarding shows sa tv...

And now i am so sad because hindi ako nakakapanood ng temptation of wife sa bus because i still have my remaining days in our 2 weeks training in work, i always came home late. :(

Ano na kaya nangyari? Hay.... For the love of job! Choz! hehe

Goto King's Congee

Lugaw (Congee) or Goto (Congee with tripe) known to be one of the Filipino Breakfast...

I always loved eating lugaw and tokwa since i was kid, to some they say that lugaw are for the sick people only but i dont believe that because our lola always cooked special lugaw for our breakfast or merienda aside from champorado.. (i miss my lola's champorado). Why special? Because she has secret recipe in her lugaw, she put lots of utak ng baboy (pig's brain) in it, its really yummy... no one beats the taste of my lola's lugaw..

When i transferred here in Las Pinas during my 2nd year college days, i always crave for lugaw and tokwa, when hubby and i became couple, he introduced to me the lugawan that can be found in BF Resort (meron palang lugawan sa village namen that time) kasi naman kubo lang yung kainan and bihira naman akong lumabas ng house that time. sorry nman!... Anyway, the lugawan in BF became our merienda place at least twice a week...

Now that im working, gusto ko pa rin ng lugaw and tokwa, now na wala na yung lugawan sa BF, sa Goto King na ko napunta, dinadayo ko pa ang Goto King sa SM makakain lang....

http://www.gotoking.com.ph/

My lugaw and tokwa..

Syempre medyo sosi na tong lugawan kaya medyo pricey na sya.. its also good with condiments like lots of fried garlic dba?

I love the lumpia in Goto King

I love eating in Goto King.. Kahit ako lang mag-isa keri lang makakain lang ng lugaw... hehe

Do you like congee also?

Family day is Sunday

Every family bonds during Sunday and we are one of those. Yesterday, we went again to SM Southmall and let Tami play while i do bank errands in BDO. After that, we went to SM Department Store to look for something to buy. I was looking for Sandals stand because ang hirap ihanap ni Tami ng gusto nya pati ang size nya malaki for a 4-years old girl. And finally we found this:

When she saw this, she grab it and ask me to bought it.

Rusty Lopez P599.00...

Buti na lang walang Crocs sa SM..hehe.. nakatipid ako. Crocs is one of tami's favorite, after having the Limited Edition of Crocs na Hannah Montana na nawala nman when we transferred here in our apartment, and everytime she saw crocs she always request to have another one.

Flip-flop for her pambahay... Ver cheap at 79.75

Ang arte ni Tami, she wants glasses daw so we bought Barbie shades for only P249.00. Mura nga naman compare sa Disneyland glasses nya before na nawala naman.

While i look for magazine to buy, she also bought small book for her. I settled for the Real Living para may idea ako on how to arrange things in our new house.

Aside from my fave Royce chocolate, i also love Meiji milk and dark chocolate.

After we bought loots, we ask Tami where she want to eat and she choose Mcdo, she told me that she want burger. Kaya pala gusto nya sa Mcdo, because the happy meal toys are Spongebob Squarepants.. Sus yun pala...

I ordered Happy meal for her and others for us, kahit sukang-suka na ko sa Mcdo ok lang basta enjoy ang bata. Dont worry Tam, i will complete the set of Spongebob for you.

Is Sunday a family day for you?

Mary Grace Bakeshop..

Have you heard of the Mary Grace Bakeshop?

I was passing by this kiosk in MOA when i saw this yummy Lemon square. I bought 2 bozes of this as my pasalubong for my daughter and hubby.

Yummy!

Goodnight guys.. Need to sleep early for another day of training tomorrow.

Hair Care Found!

Every payday or every 2 weeks, we are scheduled to do a bonggang Grocery that is good for two weeks. After completing our grocery, i went to the Hair section to look for products that is good for rebonded hair. Since i undergo rebond months ago, feeling ko nasira na hair ko (feeling ko lang nman yun) kaya im looking for good products that is good for damaged hair like mine and will make it soft and manageable.

Here is what ive found and will try in a few days:

Loreal shampoo and conditioner

Its my first time to use this so lets see if its good to the hair.. Baka gumanda hair ko like Anne Curtis pag ginamit ko to.. hehe

Loreal 1 minute Caring Mask for Hair

I tried using this once and i liked the result. Its like cream silk when you put it on your hair. Very soft.

Aveeno Shampoo and Conditioner

Knowing Aveeno, for sure it is good for my hair and scalp.

What about you? Have you try any of these? Share the results please....

KIKAY Kit - Part 1

Do you have Kikay Kit? I saw some kikay kit on the net and i want to do my own Kikay Kit post.. hehe. Actually i dont have much on my kikay kit because im not a make-up person. Im just a sucker for lip balms.. Let me share what i have:

My kikay kit pouch.. Its free from Celeteque..

This is what my pouch contains...

Pocket mirror - a gift from my cousin last Christmas..

Natural Rice Loose Face Powder which i ordered at Beauty Bar online. Very good when patted on face. Looks natural and no more oily face for long hours...

Mary Kay Lip Balm with Tint and SPF 15 Sunscreen protection

If i have to wear tint on my lips, then this is what im using. Still a lip balm but with tint. I love this Mary Kay lip balm, i also love the color, it looks natural and it also has sunscreen protection.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Watermelon Shade..

Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm

Dati sa US lang nabibili to, ngaun meron na sa Phils... love it!

Ilog Maria Lip Balm

This is my favorite of all except the packaging.. I just use it when im home, when sleeping and during my ordinary days...

Having lip balm is a must because it protects our lips and it makes our lips soft. Hubby always ask me kung anong ginagamit ko sa lips ko kasi ang lambot daw... See? The benefit of using lip balm. hehe

10 Beauty Points for me!

What is the best lip balm for you? By the way, Will do Cosmo's What's in my Bag? version later..

Ilog Maria Products...

According to Ilog Maria's site:

Ilog Maria products derive their seemingly magical results from all the beehive products that we put in them – from our own bees; which we keep organically and naturally.

All our products can be used all at the same time. We have been doing this for about thirty years. Our children have been doing this all their lives. The last time they were in the hospital was when they were born.

Ive been a fan of Ilog Maria Products. Aside from buying this products online, sometimes we go to their farm in tagaytay to purchase those goods and i must say that their products are natural and very good for the skin. If you know me, i have a skin asthma and im not allowed to use products with lots of chemical thats why im always in the hunt for products like this.

One of the Ilog Maria products that i love is the honey because its really pure, my daughter is having a spoonful of pure honey as her vitamin everyday. I started allowing Tami to use honey when she was 6 months old, i use dropper para mapainom sya ng pure honey and until now pag may nabibilan kami, we always make sure na napapainom si tami. When you see my daughter in person, she's very healthy, sobrang bihira syang magkasakit kahit sipon or ubo... Honey is really good.

Last week i decided to purchase again and this time, ill try some of their products and here it is:

Honeymilk Lotion, Royal Jelly Hair Oil, Massage Oil, Honey Face Scrub, Lip Balm and Carrot Soap.

Honey Face Scrub P154.00

Its my second time to use this and i love the result. What i do is i add some oatmeal as scrub.

Royal Jelly Hair Oil P121.00

Rejuvenates hair follicles; nourishes scalp.

Honeymilk Lotion P132.00

Also first time to use this lotion. Very cheap right? Compared to my Aveeno that costs P682.00 per bottle.

Healing Massage Oil P170.00

I love having a massage and we have it every second week of the month (during payday). And i bring my own oil. I am using Neutrogena and Nivea Body Oil but its pricey so i decided to add this to my cart and try.

Lip Balm P71.50

Im a sucker for Lip Balm and im using Ilog Maria Lip balm since before. But this is my first time that i saw it in this package. Im used to lip balm stick.. I feel messy when putting balm with this container.

Carrot Soap P66.00

Anti-oxidant, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle soap with high doses of Beta-Carotene & Vitamin A. I heard Kuya Bing is using Carrot Soap (they're also fan of Ilog Maria products) so i will try this..

This leaflet came when my orders arrived. It tells that they now have variety of natural soaps. It is new to their products. As you can see "Made in Silang, Cavite" because their farm is located in Cavite near Tagaytay. And they dont have branch here in Manila. Either you go to their farm or order online. When ordering online, you just have to add P155.00 for the Fedex Courier.

Check their website here.
