December Plans and Wishes

Already December 3 today! Can you believe it? What's up guys? It's already the last month of 2013 and I only have roughly 4 months left to spend in this country. So I thought I'd share my December plans with you. Not that I have a lot though LOL. 

Christmas is just around the corner so I'm looking forward to our Christmas Party. It would be around mid December and since it's the first work-related Christmas Party that I would be attending to, I'm really happy. Although I have been told that we're just gonna eat outside and not really celebrate as in celebrate, I think it would still be something something. 

I want to see UST at night. I don't know but there's really something about seeing it at night on Christmas season. It kind of removes the stress from my system and I love it. 

UST Annual Paskuhan is also coming up and I wouldn't dare miss that! It would be my last time for a long time so I'm quite excited for that. My aim this season is to actually go and sit somewhere in front because dude we always stay at the back and I think the closest we got to watch is like mid section only.

I am looking forward to Christmas as well. We'll go to the Church that's for certain and watch a MMFF entry probably and yeah looking forward to that.

I don't know if I would be able to go to Bataan with fam to celebrate the dad's  birthday because of duties but most likely, not. But I still want to go there though. Just to relax and enjoy life a little bit. And if you haven't seen mu blog post about that, the sunset there is phenomenal. 

Also, if lucky, I want to visit some falls which is like away from the city but not too far from here. It's not yet too mainstream so I want to get there before it's too late sort of. That's all for my December plans guys! It's not too much but I just want to share it with you. That's all guys. 

And oh! One last thing before I go, I will try my very best to blog every other day this month. I'm doing good so far by blogging everyday! And hopefully I would be able to keep up with you as much as I managed to do for the first three days of this month so far. Alrighty.

Hunger Games Inspired Nails

Hunger Games Inspired Nails

Hello guys! I want to share a nice nail look for y'all! It's quite nice and I'm pretty proud of it. The Hunger Games theme quite failed me but anyways. 


These are all Bobbie nail polishes. Cheap cheap nail polishes. But they do what they have to do. They paint your nails anyways. Hunger Games reminds me of Red and Fire like Katniss Everdeen and that's actually the look I aimed for but since there's no RED anywhere near me, I took the closest option. Talk about improvising.


Look! It's quite nice, right? I mean, I know I usually do simple colors and nothing really dramatic but I think this one is kind of a little bit sophisticated than what I usually do at least. But anyways. 


Thinking about it though I think this is more like an Effie Trinket inspired look. LOL. I may have told you before that she's my favorite character. But nah I'll stick to my original plan of making this a Hunger Games themed nail look.


This is where the drama comes in. Poisonous berries anyone?


I missed posting nail looks for y'all and myself as well. I say expect more of this themed post every now and then because I enjoy it very much. Till then, MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR.

Dining at Yabu

Dining at Yabu

Hi guys! I told you that after we watched the Hunger Games, we went straight to the other mall to have dinner and mom instructed us to go to Yabu. I haven't really tried eating here before this moment so yeah. I just thought I'd give you a review.


My sister Mari being busy. 


You know what's good in this place? You can get pre-occupied for quite a while. Or maybe like while your food is not on the table yet. It's quite genius!


It is also the first thing that I have noticed when I arrived. You grind it with that woody pestle which is quite an easy activity but be weary! You might actually get a little competitive. Well basically, since we were not able to get tickets for the 3:00 pm screening, we kind if have miscalculated everything so the moment we arrived, they were already done eating dinner and it's just 3 sisters who will have to eat.

Mama, Lola. and I

The place was pretty crowded. And I wonder why. I mean...


I'm not so impressed with their Tonkatsu. In general though, I really have a thing for Japanese food here in the Philippines. Like, it doesn't taste right for me. I don't know. The pork is so tender though but the there's something missing. I can't pinpoint but it's not right. I actually think that it's just me at some point but whatever. Does anyone share the same opinion as I do? 


I should have ordered this. Curry is love. I would've enjoyed my meal more had I ordered this. My sister Mari also got tonkatsu so yeah. The Kare is my sister Mika's order and she finished her meal so I'm guessing she really liked it. 


They give free refills of tea, fruits, rice, and cabbage which is quite a good deal! I won't say the price range is expensive comparing it to some other places but it's a little bit expensive comparing it to other places as well. See? No sense? I didn't really enjoy my meal that much but I'm still thankful that it was able to fill me up! :) Cheers.
