Sweet Nails!

Mew, thought I'd take decent photos of my nails before I go to the salon :3

I was going for pastel goth, ain't goth enough but it's good enough to look at :3

It's super hard painting with light colored nail polish, it always ends up either uneven or super thick that it doesn't even dry lel. 

 The boyfriend has this slight obsession with this game, Brave Frontier, wondering if I've readers who are playing this, too :3 These gals are my most recent units and I super adore them hah!

  

And yey for noms, sweet, sweet noms, it's starting to feel all Christmassy here, how bout on your side of the world? It's funny, as I grow older I start to get this feeling that Christmas is just another date on the calendar, but not this year. For some reason, Christmas feels are strong on this one

No Signature yet :(

Coffee, Tea or Endoscopy?

Hi! I have been complaining of stomach pain for the longest time, I am a coffee drinker so I thought it's the tummy acids acting up, I thought it was something normal err manageable..  I knew I had gastritis but Doc said it'd be best to do endoscopy so they can give me proper medications.

My boyfriend accompanied me to the Doc's and they had to put me to sleep using Propofol, which is the closest thing I'd get to getting high using illegal drugs, so that was a weird *but cool* first time experience for me. Yay, I feel such a trooper, it was the same medication that killed Michael Jaskson, the nurse said. The above photo was taken by me after I woke up from the drugs, so funny! 

And ohai my heart beats for you! 

 I had been fasting for 8 bloody hours so you can just imagine how ravenous I was afterwards.

I ordered The Good Fella Meatballs Pasta at Gotti's, to-go. It was so darn good, I want to cry. It's the sour tomato type of pasta, not really fitting for Pinoy Taste but that's how I like my pasta. 

And I also had this mediocre tasting dish from Sizzling Pepper Steak, shame because the crew was really nice and accommodating, ambiance was good, too. But Iono, nothing special about this dish, We also ordered tenderloin steak but it was too small, their portions are terrible, I'd shame them with a photo but I'd rather not. Like I said, they have good people working for them. Sayang.

We were both dead tired, and full, and sleepy and we've a long drive home so we had to do this take out. I feel really silly for secretly collecting Starbucks stickers for the 2015 planner, I feel like I'm conforming to either the massive consumer rave VS Starbucks' annual holiday marketing strategy, Lel! I am a planner girl, I will not think twice about investing on a good planner, and I know which layout works for me, this planner from Starbucks looks like gold so hopefully I can get me all stickers before deadline :) 

Til Next Post!

P.S. I am well and healthy <3 

Happy Neko Gals - 11/6/2014

 Met up with Senpai Paola aka XOUSHII last Thursday! 

We met back in 2012, we used to work together saving the world and stuff, that's why I call her Sempaii or Sempao

She suggested this new place in Eastwood, Potts Point Cafe, it's an Aussie joint, I really liked it there. It's not zen or anything, they have this vegan, organic, hippie, vintage thing going on as far as their interiors and displays are concerned, it's like those concept rooms on Pinterest.

We weren't really hungry, we were just looking for a nice place to stay, but since we already here we oughta try something. Being the tea cat person that she is, Sampao ordered English Breakfast Tea, while I had..Geesh, I dunno what I had, it's a nut shake, wait Imma look it up.. 

Sempai collects vintage and imported liquor, so this shot was mandatory.

We ordered Smoked salmon and spinach eggs Benedict, soft salmon and flavorful toppings so much joy. The Breakfast Smoothie I was telling you gals earlier, was totally yum and my heart is craving for it badly.  

We talked about cats, books, and pretty much our lives in general and where this and that would lead to. I really had fun with Sempai, a day worth of chit chat is not enough when you're talking n hanging out with the right person ^_^

Belated Happy Birthday, Neko Sempao! :3 

Til next post, Loves <3 <3 <3

Can't Get Enough of Matcha! - 11/7/14

 I discovered this awesome Matcha place last Friday along Pioneer Center in Pasig 8D

Kissako Uji Matcha Cafe, they've coffee and plenty of Matcha food things for us to enjoy.

The place itself is very relaxing, not too much people when we got there, too. 

I ordered this amazing and delicious Matcha Iced Tea Latte, It is almost as good as Starbucks but presentation is pretty so Kissako wins my heart. 

  

Sine it's a cafe, they've no food, they've only cookies, and shortcakes and ice cream among other coffee snack things. The pretty manager said we can bring in food from other stores, instead.. so that we did. 

My craving for beef tapa has been satiated, haha! But I do hope they would have some hungry person food in their menu pretty soon, they've a neighboring Japanese resto, Takashi, I think, I've to try that out next time, hihih.  

Me looking pagoda (too pagod to look ganda) , too tired cause I've just gotten off of graveyard,  and no amount of beautification apps can make me look pretty haha, sorry not sorry, suffer dear reader, suffer! 

Shame, could have ordered a cake but was too full for it, I will come back next week with a friend, so hopefully I can blog a better entry about this cafe, My boyfie also bought me this nail polish from Etude, it's the perfect shade of Aquamarine and I love it! I've had polishes in weird shades of Teal and this is a good breather from all the blue hues I've been wearing. 

If you want to know more about this cafe, I found a nice blog entry. 

HAPPY LAB

Afternoons at Taibun and 2ne1

First off, I love LSP! Currently watching Adventure Time reruns again with my sister lol.
And Hello July! I have been meaning to say that since my misfortunes last June started eating me up. I'm just glad it's over, some bad luck I had. 

But hopefully this month would bring lots of good news, good hopes, good health

 and plenty of wealth for all of us, yes?


My hime maruneko nails for the week!

Hehehe anyway, I can't wait to talk about this new hang out place my mom discovered a few weeks ago. It's called "Taibun", a Taiwanese restaurant and pastry shop located in San Juan City, my sweet little town. This place is at a walking distance from our house so I guess that pretty much explains why my wallet was thinning faster than usual. Mom, you are held accountable for my gained weight and bankruptcy.

They have everything a diabetic person would kill their relatives for (that's my mom ugh! so hard to control her!) from pastries, cakes and cookies, They also have a cute dining area in the other room, with free wifi and cable TV. There were people dining then so I opted not to take any photos.

                                              Every time we go there they would always bring out something fresh from the oven. I do hope the kind Taiwanese lady who, as I've been told, is also the pastry chef would consider baking us some cute macaroons and some sugar free pastries for hard headed diabetic people. MOM!

One of every kind please and thank you!

Condiments corner.

I have yet to try these but I think they're really cute and would make lovely presents since they can be bought as a set inside a pretty box. 

Yum!

This meal is not for the faint of heart, JK! You can get this for 130 PHP, say what? just a little more than 3USD oh with free drinks, OJ or Iced Tea, and must I say very very delectable indeed, from the noodles to the chicken!

Milk Tea with Pudding, at 75PHP.

We also had Taiwanese beef noodles (145PHP) the next day, I took my Tough Guy so he can pay haha! thick savory and beefy goodness! I've had my fair share of beef wanton's and noodles and this by far has the richest flavor, although it is more on the sweet side but the downside for me is the noodles, I am not a big fan of thick noodles.  But I am crazy about their gyoza! we forgot to take a picture but you can see it in this photo, we had to order 3 trays and that's just me and Tough Guy, it's very light and tasty! 8pcs for only 85PHP I think. 

Japanese Light Cheesecake (75PHP) and Red Grape juice (120PHP)

Love the cheesecake, ate the whole tray without feeling any guilt whatsoever!

 

And they have Japanese fashion magazines for reading, hello! 

My favorite take home!

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Taibun-Bakery-Coffee-Shop/109608845799700

These are my favorite kinds so far, they have so many bread things I want to taste them all. 

I left their FB link since I stole some photos from there lol!

[Edit]

In other news, by other I meant aside from Tom Kat breaking up..

2NE1 is baaacck! lawlawlawlawlaw! Although fans from around the globe have mixed feelings about this because well.. 2ne1 went for the femme sexy look this time around and the new title track "I love you" is not something Blackjacks are accustomed to as opposed to the "I don't care, I hate you, I am the best, I am gonna cut your balls off" thing 2ne1 had been known for.  

But fret not! Tons of girl groups are currently doing the fierce, funky, fashion make it or break it look 2ne1 did during their previous promotions, so I believe YG intended for the girls to do something simple, something almost mediocre which is also something totally unexpected. Have faith Blackjacks, I am really excited! I am all about these girls, I cannot wait for their come back!

Dara's teaser has been released.

Now tell me this isn't fierce, the girl shaved half of her head.

Looking forward to Bom's, Minzy's and (edit) CL's!!

Minzy is all grown up now!

CL looking so vulnerable like this shall take some time getting used to but she undoubtedly looks gorgeous!

Bommie's ombre is lalalove! 

Leaving you with this not so recent half decent photo of myself since I cannot remember the last time I posted one lol! I shall save the kawaii haul for next post!

I'll see you then! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
