BPI Real Thrills: Chowking

My family benefited a lot from bank freebies especially with BDO from my deposits, investments and credit card and now that hubby has BPI, we will now enjoy the BPI Real Thrills because we always use our card in doing grocery because of the freebies and points.

Last Saturday, i told hubby to claim the free Chowking meal because the last time that they had promo, hindi namin na-avail yung freebies because we dont have time hanggang sa lumabo na yung charge slip. Now that were on tipid mode, why not claim the free food from Chowking instead of eating to some fancy restaurant, dba?

When we were in Chowking, i handed the 5 charge slips together with the receipts to the cashier but unfortunately 3 of them lang yung na-avail namin kasi tapos na pla yung promo.. hehe.. sayang naman. She gave me the choices kasi hindi ko naman alam kung ano yung corresponding meal sa amount nung charge slip.

Chowking-BPI Real Thrills Choices


Buti na lang hindi namin sinama yung mga yayabels kasi tatlo lang pala ma-claim namin. Kung ano pa yung malaking amount sa charge slip, yun pa yung nasayang. Instead of take-out food, dun na lang namin kinain since tatlo lang naman kami. I texted the yayabels na kumain na sila kasi sa labas na kami kakain :(

So while waiting for our orders, Tami and i went to Puregold Jr to buy some toiletries for our home. We went back and hubby is eating already.


Here's what we claim:

For a P3,000++ receipt, i claimed the Chorizo Chaofan + 2 siomai..

The chaofan is for me. Not that good.


For the P5,000++ receipt, hubby chose the Orange chicken lauriat plus the halo-halo (not in pic)


And for another P2,000++ receipt, Tami wants noodles so i ordered the Chicken noodles for her with 2 siomai also.

Of all the food that we had, si Hubby lang ang naubos ang food, di ko naman type yung chaofan. Tami didnt finish her noodles also. I dont know pero baka wala lang kami sa mood kumain ng Chowking that time. But were still thankful because it was free!

Online Window Shopping

Since were on our long vacation now, we have nothing to do but watch movie, play with our daughter, go to our in-laws house and surf the net. For a change, I won’t be looking at my favorite online sites like Macy's, shopbop, Magnums etc. this time because im now looking for new stuff for our home.

I have so many things that im eyeing in Dwell Studio, Ikea, Corelle Plates, etc but they are not available here so im just contented looking at their sites. 

Just like now, i found out that Ikea released their 2012 Catalogue and i find so many things that i like including the following designs:


Ikea Living Room and Dining Room

I found this design nice because it has similarity to our future home. Since were also having that glass with curtains pero samin sliding door sya that leads to open space or garden (depends to my interior designer), we decided also to put our dining table near the sliding glass door so that we can open the sliding door whenever we have parties etc. The black wall with frames behind, we'll be having that wall also pero di ko pa alam ang color.

On the living room, ok sana to kaya lang i want an L-shaped sofa and we want the LCD tv to be wall mounted just like our current design.


Ikea Kitchen

Kitchen that i like, will add na lang countertop for our breakfast nook.


Ikea kitchen drawers

Our countertop should have this . Drawers to put kitchen tools and utensils...



Ikea Children's room

I want the design of the room but in Pink color because Tami wants Hello Kitty inspired room. Eh di ko naman alam kung pano yun so what we're going to do is papagaya namin yung cabinet and beside the cabinet is the study corner of our daughter. Hubby and i inquired a Hello Kitty design wall paper in one of the stores in Home Depot Alabang (i forgot the name) and it was estimated to a more or less PhP 5,000 per roll, di ko kasi alam ang sukat ng room ni Tami kaya di ko nabigay ang exact measurements.


Hay... so many nice things in Ikea. Sana magkaron na ng Ikea store here in Manila and for sure everyone will love it! There you go, some of the details of our future house designs. Pictures of the house soon..... sa blessing. hehe

You can now view the 2012 Ikea Catalogue now... Just click here.

Cravings...

If you know me, you'll know that i love chocolates. It is my stress buster and at the same time keep me up whenever im in work. hehe



One time, hubby and i drop by at Mercury drug to buy something and notice this chocolate, i bought and tasted and its really good. Even hubby commented na masarap sya at mura pa. Parang P39.00 lang sya.

Yesterday i went to mercury drug but found nothing. I was craving for chocolate pero wala akong type na kainin...

Hay chocolates....
