Simple Line tea. Review.

Tea March 01, 2012 0

Can I just say that their teas are awesome. I mean, most of it. I wasn't able to snap a proper photo but this is a large Caramel Tapioca that I absolutely love. I actually think that this is my favorite. Although it's really very sweet. If you don't like your milk tea sweet, worry not! They have this customize your tea thing. You can adjust the sweetness of your tea. Ain't that awesome? Yes it is. So if you want to detox a little bit, try this! Or any Simple Line teas for that matter.

Subic Camayan Resort 2010. A look back.

Wanderlust February 28, 2012 0

This is how the outside looks like. I must say that there's definitely a big improvement! It has this classy thing going on. Way back 2007-2008, it's very much nicer. It was very lame back then, if you ask me. I know it's like 2 years ago but behold! Because I'll be doing 2 more blog post that's way much behind 2010 hahaha. Who cares?

Outside the reception area. Definitely an awesome landscape you have there. Also! You can view the mountain and the beach from the bench.

Just noming on a bag of Cheetos haha. Fvck my life. Hahaha. When we went there, I don't know if there's a science behind it but the water is really uber very salty. Ah! Less water = more salt. Why less water? Because it's dang hot in the Philippines and all the water probably evaporated. Yeah. Perfect.

And yup! My family. The room is quite nice! But like, so many ants and all that. Just on the door of the room though but I suspect that there are like a few inside. Which is gross. They made a new hotel and it's really nicer than before. Before right? My mom told me that the receptionist told her that they are digging a pool but what happened? Who's digging the pool? The ants? The monkeys? I have no idea because there's till no pool and the beach water is not very conducive for bathing. Overall I think this is still a nice resort. Plus! It's relatively near Ocean Adventure ans Subic Zafari so if you're like looking for a place to stay if you're going to that places, it's a very good option.

Nivea Fruity Shine Pomegranate. Review.

Shikimikie February 27, 2012 0

Let me just say that I think this is my Holy Grail Nivea lip moisturizer. It's super fruity and it smells really nice. What I don't like about this shine collection is that it has this shimmering pigments. I prefer just the pinkish tint and the pomegranate scent. Whatever that fruit is. I've had the Strawberry and Cherry before but man, this is just awesome. I actually haven't finished the Cherry Fruit Shine because the bag where it was in was snatched. And I dropped my second Strawberry Fruit Shine at the amusement park's horror house. Poor me. So unlucky. I think I prefer Cherry than Strawberry though.

Shimmering pigments

The good thing about this is it has SPF 10 and that it'll somehow protect the lips and stuff like that. I guess it'll help seal in the moisture and prevent the lips from drying up. Nivea's new shape kind of sucks because since it's tinted, chances are if you have a slightly thin lips like I do, you'll end up messing stuff. So you have to be very careful in applying. Not like the medicated transparent lip thingy where you just can apply it however you like.

MOST AWESOME JAPANESE INVENTION!

INSTANT CUP OF DELICIOUSNESS!

Seriously! Like, best thing ever! I've known this baby for like, almost all my life now. And it never failed to amaze me. I have a little issue with it though, but I'm not so sure. For some reason, there's like less product inside as time goes by or probably because of my stomach getting bigger. Whatever. Well, it's a problem which I don't have a problem with. I can just add water and still get satisfied. But it's sometimes a problem. Just sometimes. I feel like there's so much to say, but yeah. It's something you have to try for yourself. In Japan, it's like 130 yen, which should be about 70 php but I guess they sell it here like 88 php or something? Not sure!

The Face Shop nail paints and more.

The Face Shop February 19, 2012 1

These are not new by the way. Thanks Angela for this gift way back what? 2010? Thank you! :)

I must say that I like the formula of these nail polishes mainly because its smell isn't that strong/annoying and actually, it's very tolerable and if you're not actually very sensitive, there's a big chance that you won't be able to smell it. Which I find very helpful and very nice for the manufacturer to even consider that.

AWESOME NAIL DOT PEN FROM ANGELA TOO! :D

I KNOW IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT JUST TO SHOW YOU GUYS. CHECK THE STAINS!
LOL

Although it may look very pretty, I have an issue with this particular product. It's just that it doesn't look as pink as it is in the bottle than that when applied on the nails. It's very much lighter on the nails. You can coat your nails 3-4 times if you want to achieve this kind of color which is a lot of work. If you ask me. Although 2 coats will give you something that's not that bad but still way too much lighter than it appears in the bottle. Kind of deceiving aye? Nah but it's workable. I have nothing against the purple color though. I think it's some sort of a holy grail nail polish.

BRUNCH!

Review February 18, 2012 0

My mom brought home some of this for our little brunch and though I am very thankful (starving kids) I didn't like it as much. I don't know why but it doesn't taste like something I can indulge with or whatever. And although the name and everything sounds like purely Japanese, it's apparently a Korean cake. How interesting!

So here's how they look like. It's literally little sponge cakes with fillings. The concept is actually amazing. The fillings are probably the main issue of everything that I didn't like. I wonder what goes really well with those? Definitely not your flavors. Sorry.

Chocolate on your left side and custard/vanilla on your right side. Quite not sure.

Cigare!

Yoku Moku February 16, 2012 0

Awesome packaging! (my mom said that all the money goes to the packaging)

It was your typical cookie (soft cookie thingy) but with a twist (not because of the shape). It does taste good compared to other brand that I have tasted with the same concept. Nothing much in there though. I mean, no chocolate or anything like that. Just itself.

Yoku Moku chocolates!

Yoku Moku chocolates February 14, 2012 0

Awesome sauce! Like, it's kind of just sweet but I can really eat it. It's like wafer-filling-wafer type of thing. I know it's not obvious since it's super thin but based on my very keen observation, I noticed. Hooray! I'm no expert (as always) but it tastes like caramel rather than chocolate but even though I'm no good at french, the package says it is chocolate so it must be some variant or whatever. The above pictures show the completely covered wafer/biscuit and this one below shows the one side covered with the chocolate and it also contains nuts. I personally prefer the red one.

Nivea Watering Lip. Review.

Review February 05, 2012 0

So, I don't know why but I'd like to review this product for all of you who are wondering? Or just whatever. I got mine from Japan and I actually haven't seen the same product here in the Philippines or I probably haven't noticed or whatnot. Anyhow, let's move on to the review. The product is actually nice. It's doesn't feel like your lips are exactly watery when you wear it. It's rather kind of oily but tolerable. It doesn't feel greasy. It feels kind of light but you'll definitely feel that it's there. I'm not sure whether they have a tinted one in their collection but this particular product is very much colorless as you can see from the picture below. It doesn't have a scent either. It feels very moisturizing and obviously makes your lips softer. I usually use it as a lipstick primer and it makes applying lipstick much easier. I'm not sure whether or not it makes it wears longer (I doubt). It also makes my lips shinier so when I can't be bothered applying lipgloss after my lipstick, using it as a base does pretty much the same thing (makes your lips look watery) I currently don't care about SPF and stuff so it's not a downfall for me.

Meiji Milk Choco Nuggets

Review February 02, 2012 0

So that babies up there kept me company while I reviewed tons of notes and stuff that I wasn't sure about anyways but that's not the point. It kept me awake but it didn't help me remember stuff at all. Yeah just sharing. lol

I got that as a little present from my auntie's Japanese friend who visited us last week and yeah I promised myself not to eat too much chocolate but hey! Who doesn't eat free good stuff right?

Sorry girl, not me.

To be honest, it's not that good. It's not something you can eat and eat and eat without getting bored. Personally, I can eat like 2 at a time and then leave it and eat some more a little later. I'm a chocolate eater and I usually finish so fast eating that kind of stuff but yeah maybe it's too sweet or something like that. I'm not saying it's not good okay? I'm just saying that it could have been better? K.

Hi-Crown Chocolate.

Review January 26, 2012 0

Cigar? Nope! Chocolate! And by that I mean legit chocolate. Not chocolate flavored cigar or something like that. How cute is that? The crown looks like it's blinged but actually it's just an illusion but nonetheless awesome.

Sorry but it has like 3 cubes in a bar and single package comes in 3 bars. So it's like a 3 x 3 if you know what I mean. You probably don't care about it's taste as of the moment but it's actually not that good. It's rather too sweet for me and it almost tastes like sugar. Like milk sugar or something.
