twisted peppermint

i'm so loving this lotion now. it's from bath and body works. it smells 100% like candy cane!!! the scent is gorgeous and gives u the feeling of a very jolly christmas :)

this was a pasalubong from the states. i hope it's available in the philippines as well.

i like to try the cologne too...hmmm....love it!!!!! :)

karate kid - past and present :)

i've seen both versions.  jaden's version has more heart - made me cry more; but ralph's killer move during the final fight (2 arms & 1 leg up like an eagle) was more dramatic.

jackie chan vs pat morita? hmmm...i love them both!:)

ralph macchio vs jaden smith? all i can say is that jayden is a STAR.  no doubt. will smith must be so proud.

halo-halo

i can feel that the rainy season is here and one thing that i will surely miss is eating halo-halo.  this is one of the staple food during summer and now that the rain months are here, i won't be seeing halo-halo in the streets anymore yes! you heard it right. i love halo-halo from the streets - more  than the ones in restaurants (except of course the halo-halo from razon's) i like my halo-halo to have banana, pinipig, colored sago, kaong, beans and macapuno topped with leche flan:)



this halo-halo was served to us in batangas...it's one of the halo-halo from the kanto - when we stopped over at my co-teacher's place :)



co-teacher, ms sheryll can't seem to wait...hahah! i super love this pic :)

'til next summer! ;)

Next...

i was inspired by these flicker photos.  i will make my own version in the next few days....i can't wait to cut and sew again! :)

Goodbye my dear Puma

i am not really a rubber shoes fan.  my mom seldom bought rubber shoes for me back then that's why i never got used to wearing a pair.  so believe me when i say that apart from my small collection of chucks, i only have 2 pairs of rubber shoes - one is nike which i used only thrice since i bought it 4 years ago; and the other is my super, ultra, soft puma which was a christmas gift from a dear friend 6 years ago. yup! 6 years and i'm proud to say that it lasted this long :)

i've worn it so many times. it's really soft, fits my feet perfectly, super light and it looks so slim.  i love the chocolate brown color accented with white and cream.

anyway, when i checked it today i noticed that the soles are coming off and the sides are peeling already.  i felt a bit sad but after thinking about what my puma and  i have been through all these years...phew!  i realized that it was so "sulit" :)

it still looks okay really but if you examine the sides you'll see that parts are broken...







i will surely miss my puma! hope i can find another perfect pair that will last not only 6 years but more ::)

Kamiseta

i like visiting kamiseta shops.  i like the girly feel inside their stores, very clean and crisp :)

i read in one of the blogs that kamiseta has something new - the liberty collection...Liberty of London set the bar for luxury shopping since 1875.  aside from it being a textile and fabric giant, it is the flagship store for all the important labels in the fashion industry.  from what i've read, they partnered with our very own kamiseta to come up with a limited editioncollection that all the filipinos will love :)

collection showed ruffles, laces, delicate floral patterns which are really the signature style of kamiseta. 

the price for this collection is a bit higher than the usual kamiseta clothing.  when i checked the items in this collection, their price is higher by a thousand but quite reasonable considering that it is a collaboration with a foreign company :)
