Nike Warehouse Sale

What: Nike Warehouse Sale Up To 70% off
Where: Agility Center, Ninoy Aquino Ave., Paranaque City
When: December 11-21, 2008, 11:00 am - 8:00 pm

I went yesterday to the Nike Warehouse Sale in Agility Center, Ninoy Aquino Avenue in Paranaque. It's after the Duty Free Fiesta Mall. Up to 70% off all items...Super exhausted. I went there at 11 am but they opened 1pm. I was in the first batch and wearing flip flop, after the first batch they announced that slipper and sando were not allowed to enter the warehouse. People got pissed and after a rude confrontation they allowed them to enter except guys wearing sando. In 2 hours inside the warehouse, I bought 2 rubber shoes and 7 shirts/blouses.

Twilight.....

Favorite line:

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…"
"What a stupid lamb,"
"What a sick, masochistic lion."


I watched Twilight two times, the first one was the advance screening and the other one was the special screening from Nokia. I love the book, it was so romantic. I fell in love to Edward.

Most of the scenes from the book were changed and deleted in the movie, still it was a good romantic movie. I was excited to watch the movie based from what I read from the book which some were not showed. The unforgettable scenes like the Bella room scenes where Bella said I love you and Edward replied your my life now(Kilig)...and the other scenes that was deleted...when Edward said I love you to Bella during the Baseball game. Love the glass house where the Cullen's live but in the book, it was an old big house. Love at the top of a pine tree scene..so romantic.

If I rate this movie, 10 is the highest..its 8. Can't wait for the New Moon...

Trend this season...RAJO LAUREL

Rajo Laurel is so all over the Philippines this season. From a hot and uber success fashion show to RTW brand to cake to burger. I really admired him since I was in high school.

This season he collaborates with Plains and Prints. From ruffle blouse to geometric dress to off the shoulder shirt. So hot, sexy, and affordable.

Plains & Prints Ads: Rajo Laurel Collection
Model: Paula Taylor

Red Ribbon, one of the most successful bakeshop & restaurant hired Rajo Laurel and Frederick Peralta to designed a one of a kind special occasion cakes.

Bangag!

I went out last night with Dolly, supposed to be a coffee talk but it turned out a night out with her and new found friends, Dolly's colleagues. After a 5 hours coffee talk at Starbucks Emerald Ave. in Ortigas, we went to Meat shop 1 along Katipunan. My God! it was my 3rd time to got drunk. I just drunk a 10 shots of four season (Meat shop's Mindoro sling version..whatever the spell is). Super headache! I was in a tipsy mode while walking towards the car park. We went home past 2 am and arrived dead on arrival (joke!...went to bed immediately) at 3am. I woke up this morning super headache..I felt an explosion on my head. I sent a message to Raymond and informed him that i will have a half day work. Lesson learned...hahahaha

Shoes Watch....

This year shoe style or design of the local shoe brands...SUCKS! they're running out of designs. Were they affected of the economic crisis we're facing right now? I hope not! Wake up designers, how will the customers buy your shoes if it isn't fabulous enough to make a woman's feet be gorgeous? And customers don't settle for being comfortable..reinvent! If your a sneakers, flat or ballet shoes person, try to wear sometimes a stiletto? A three to four in. high wouldn't hurt a lot.

Attend or Not?

I received an email yesterday from our country manager with regards to our christmas party on December 14, 2008 in Ortigas Tent. I'm still contemplating if i will attend the party, the theme is Black and White (Smart Casual)! Either a combination of the two colors or all white or all Black. I have already an idea on what will i wear for the party. Mydz and I went to Glorietta last night, I helped her to find faboulous stilleto and we found several from different stores. I really like the CMG aqua blue peep toe 4 in. heel high.

The Gladiator Extreme Platform By Dior (my dream!)

Another color of my dream shoes wear by SJP on SndC movie.

Below are the photos that I want to wear for the party:

Vera Wang Coat

Alexander McQueen Kimono Top

Zara Men Fall Winter Collection

So I still have 3 weeks to decide what and who will I wear...

Starbucks Holiday Treat

White Cup is out and Red Cup is in, NNovember 4 was the day Starbucks' Released their Red Cup and 2009 planner. The Worldwide Coffee Icon also re-released their other holiday beverages that includes Praline Mocha, Toffee Nut Latte, and the newly added Dark Cherry Mocha.

It is a Starbucks Tradition to change the color of the cup to celebrate the Christmas season and also, every year they release their yearly planner since 2006. You can get the planner if you have the Starbucks Christmas Tradition Promo Card, once you have it, collect 16 stickers by buying 8 holiday beverages and 8 Starbucks beverages of your choice (except bottled beverages and juices).

I was a bit disappointed with the design of the planner for 2009. Unlike their extravagant leather cover 2008 planner, 2009 planner is just a hard bound notebook-like planner. Nothing fancy or add-on coupons, but anyways, still collecting stickers for it, so to all my friends help me!!! hehehehe
Dark Cherry Mocha, the newly added holiday beverage tastes good. Would love to drink it again and again and again.

Home Sweet Home

After a month renting a house with my colleagues, I decided to leave them and come back to my home sweet home. I missed a lot; my newly renovated room, daily trip from Tondo to work and vice versa, and my Pepper. Renting a house with someone is like the hit TV program Survivor, must have to survive; lots of patience, ability to do house shores and errands (if you can't do this, hire maids and pay them! Do not just say thanks), don't share things if you don't want to be pissed, and mind your own damn business.

The Reunion

(Beth, Hides, Jr, and Me)

I went out last night with my two best of friends in SPI, Betchai and Hides, with Betchai's hubby and my daddy Sergio, Jr (LOL). The meeting time was 7pm at The Body Shop in Greenbelt 4, Betchai used her 1 hour break just for the dinner with us (she invited us last week). Since it was Friday, most of the peeps around the metro hang out in Makati, so the Greenbelt parking lot was full. Were stuck at the parking lot for 30 minutes to look for a free space to park Hides' car. Since we came late and supposed to have a dinner outside Greenbelt, we received a text message from Beth to proceed to Recipes restaurant in Greenbelt 3. I didn't recognized Beth, Oh my God! She's thin but still gorgeous like her daughter (hahaha). We came to Recipes 8:15 pm, chit chat a bit (so missed her so much to the max) because Beth have to go back to work. When we arrive at the restaurant Beth and Jr already ordered food to catch up Beth's one hour break. The food was good especially the fried squid which a bit spicy. We went out at the restaurant around 8:45 pm and say goodbye to Beth and Jr. So Hides and I decided to watch High School Musical 3 in Greenbelt 3 (my treat).



It was a good movie, the production design and choreography were very nice. Troy and Gabriella's mushy scene was still there. Zac was hot...really hot....hahaha. You'll notice who get the top billing for the film. Kids and fans of HSM will enjoy the movie.

Icebergs@ San Miguel by the Bay

I went out last night with my friends(Hides, Ten, and Naze) in Mall of Asia. I brought Pepper (my Chinese Sharpei) with me since he was the reason of our get together. We stayed at ICEBERGS after a long walk since we're not that hungry and decided to eat desserts there. Obviously, their specialty was ice cream, so hides and I ordered the Iceberg Tower and Root beer Float. While Ten and Naze ordered Mango Crepe, Strawberry Float, and Caesar Salad.

I'll post the pics soon as Naze upload them....
Verdict:

Iceberg Tower (PH. 145): Yummy!
Mango Crepe (100+): I haven't taste it yet but I think Naze like it.
Root Beer Float (PH. 88): Not as good as A&W Root beer float (Is this fast food chain still exist?)
Strawberry Float (PH. 88): I haven't taste it yet but I think Ten like it.
Salad (PH.98): Taste good.

It's a great place to eat ice cream or any dessert that includes ice.

B-O-R-A-C-A-Y!

I'm going to Boracay on December 2-4, 2008 with my colleagues, we already booked our flights through Cebu Pacific PH. 288 all-in promo (PH. 632 round trip which includes the tax and the charges). Since I've been there a dozen times, the excitement which I feel is not for me, it's for them, since no one of my colleagues who will join the trip ever been to Boracay. I already made an itinerary for us on what things to do while we're there but still not yet finalize since I am waiting on information for our hotel from my colleague's friend who lives in Boracay.

Sample itinerary:

-- Lunch at my Aunt's house
-- Island Hopping
-- Mt. Luho
-- Sampaguita Garden (Possible if we leave the island as early as 6am) (Precious Moments Museum and Store, Butterfly Farm)

The Adventure of Indiana Jones

Caregiver...

I watched it last Saturday with a friend, LA-LA, in Glorietta 4 cinema. I expect it to be a heavy drama movie but it wasn't. What I love about this movie, how it was different from her past movie, who always cried and cried every scenes of the movie but in this film, she also added some funny lines but still a big impact with the story. I was affected with most of the scenes especially when Sharon talking to his son in a children's playground and while shopping in a UKAY UKAY market. I want to watch this movie because I can relate with the story, I also have a mother who still working outside the country because she want us to give a better life.

Plot: Sarah (Sharon Cuneta), a grade school English teacher, who wants to work and support her husband in the United Kingdom, Teddy (John Estrada), to have a better living for their family.

After that fleeting period of excitement, she experiences the hard challenges every Filipino caregivers face every day: the icy weather, the dirty work, the difficult patients.

My rate would be 8 out of 10.

love...Sex and the City style

“Year after year, twenty something women come to New York City in search of the two “L”s: labels and love. Twenty years ago, I was one of them. Having gotten the knack for labels early…I concentrated on love.” – Carrie Bradshaw

Finally! The movie that I am very eager to watch for the past 6 months since I’ve heard it and happened last night. Hides, Beth, and I watched the last full show of Sex and the City in Mall of Asia and went home at 1:00 am.

I’m a Sex and the City fanatic since season 1…I guess 1999 or 2000 was the year that I first watched it on TV (HBO Asia). At first I thought it was all about sex but after I watched 2-3 episodes of the first season….it was about MANOLOs (Manolo Blahnik), it was about relationship, it was about love…finding a perfect person to live happily ever after and of course their sex life. Season 6 was bitin. Because after Carrie realized that PARIS and PETROVKSY were not for her, Mr. Big flew to Paris to get her there and get back to New York.

Plot: Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), a successful author, contributor editor on Vogue Magazine, and everyone’s favorite fashion icon next door, is back, as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love, relationship, friends (Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon)) and fashion obsessed single woman in New York City (especially the stiletto shoes) after the hit series ended four years ago in HBO.

Also in the cast: Mr Big (Chris Noth), Carrie’s handsome yet elusive boyfriend. Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) as Miranda’s down to earth husband. Harry (Evan Handler), Charlotte’s loving and dependable husband. Smith (Jason Lewis), an actor, model, client, and devoted lover of Samantha. Louise (Jennifer Hudson), Carrie’s young and inexperienced but still label savvy assistant. Candice Bergen (Enid Frick), the editor of Carrie in Vogue.

What I missed while watching this movie was their chatting about sex, BOTOX, and life. Who could unnotice the clothes, the bags, and the shoes; this is not Sex and the City if it wasn't for the signature brands? Thanks for the costume designer Patricia Field...(the lady who dress the ladies of SATC series and The devil wears prada)I know… I know Manolos was the star in the series but in the movie, it was Vivienne Westwood’s wedding couture gown who stole the show. I amazingly love the concept…oh I almost forgot the place of the wedding, the New York Public Library, I was shocked and never thought that it could be happened.

My rate: it would be a perfect 10…I just love and missed it.

Would love to wtch it over and over again.

Dream Vacation: Maldives

(Maldives: Anantara Resort in Maldives)

Do you have a dream vacation in mind? Have you ever think where you can relax and have fun? Have you ever think where to spend your vacation leave? Me...in Maldives.

(Maldives: Anantara Resort in Maldives)

Yes Maldives, it's my favorite beach destination. Where I can relax, have fun, and spend my vacation leave. Paris my dream country but Maldives is my dream vacation spot, although I can't swim to 6 feet deep water because I'm afraid of drowning and be eaten by a shark. I'd rather die with a disease or plane crash than eaten by wild creature or ship sink. What I love in Maldives? Its scenery is so spectacularly gorgeous, the sand, the water, the environment, and the people.

But the question is...WHEN?
