Being a coffee and doggie lover combined, imagine my smile from ear to ear when this package came in the mail! One of the best packages I've ever received. Add to that the fact that I was born on the year of the dog! #quotana 😍

WAFER ROLLS

Starbucks Wafer Rolls' contents: coffee, matcha, and hojicha flavors

I wasn't a fan of Korean cuisine until I got a chance to try Ye dang in Pasig (Korean BBQ restaurant) a few weeks before I left for Seoul. Since then, I counted the days until my flight to Korea just so I can finally try their authentic food selections.

Seoul introduced me to their wide array of food options, from their local street food, their adaptation of global fast food chains, their Korean BBQs (of course!), to their mouthwatering cafe desserts.

Check out the simple documentation of my 5 day food crawl at South Korea:

The scorching hot nowadays makes me long for another staycation in the metro. The heat makes me so unproductive at home because a single move already makes me feel icky. Do you feel the same? 😣


This reminds me of another great staycation I've had a couple of weeks ago at The Linden Suites in Ortigas. Located in a prime location (it's a few blocks away from SM Megamall!), the hotel provides a quick escape within the busy streets of Metro Manila.


I wasn't exactly sure where the hotel is located so I let the Uber driver used Waze to navigate us. Little did I know that we were directed to the back entrance of the hotel, which was also nice because the tall buildings beside Linden Suites provided nice shades in the street.


The wooden walls and lavish tiles spoke to its year of existence: timeless and grand. The lobby is not as big as the ones in other hotels which is why people easily fill the entire ground floor.

Enchanted Kingdom is probably old news for those who have visited the theme park already. Thanks to our school's field trip itinerary, we can tell that we've been to the Philippines' theme park that's closest to Disneyland. hihi


My recent trip to Enchanted Kingdom is my third visit already. I am not expecting so much because I think I've probably enjoyed every single ride during my first two visits. However, going to this theme park with a different set of clique recently made me realize that this place is worth visiting again. <3

I always wonder why my mom is such a fan of Petroleum Jelly since I was young. I admit it, I use to not like this product because of its slimy texture. Little did I know that this product can do wonders to my skin.

It's been the longest time when I took myself out on a Friday night. Working in the city denotes surviving carmageddon on the way back to the south (where I live).

It's safe to say that it's hard to find the right facial soap for oneself, right? Because I am a facial foam kind of girl, I often neglect all the beauty soaps I see in bazaars. Neither do I trust any facial soaps and opt for the easier way to clean my face, which is through facial foams. In my eyes, all beauty facial soaps all look the same to me, but I ain't right.

This year, one of my main discoveries in the beauty world is the magic of facial soaps. I'm happy because a friend (aka the owner) of The Beauty Bask was enthusiastic in informing me how beneficial beauty facial soaps are in the skin especially if you find the perfect one for you.

Here's my The Beauty Bask pick: Paradiso. From their instagram account, this soap is also coined as an Anti-elements Beauty Soap Block.

Work and Life balance. An overused phrase that millenials can't keep up these days.

Travelling 68 kilometers every weekday to work is no joke. I wake up at 6 am to get ready for work and leave work sometime around 7:00 pm. I might've got the hang of it, but there are times when it becomes life draining.


I usually get the question, "How are you able to get a life despite your busy schedule?" Well here are some of the things I don't miss on. (Especially when I have the luxury of time and money)

Given the different means of finding love nowadays, who would've thought that #LoveAtFirstTaste can be another way to discover this indescribable feeling? I mean over food?

Watch the social experiment that Knorr conducted to showcase how flavor can be catalysts to life's meaningful connections:



Basically, two complete strangers were paired up in a blind date on the basis on their love for the same flavors. The result? An entertaining film that underpins how each culinary experience and flavor creates distinct memories and feelings with people, discovered using the Flavor Profiler!

I'm absolutely a dairy lover and I wouldn't say no to any dairy food, especially when it has CHEESE in it!

I know you'll agree that we girls love to express ourselves not only on our dresses or makeups but through our nails as well, right? The first thought that came into my mind when I saw these vibrant nail polishes, they look so delicious!! Too bad they ain't edible. hihi :p 

Right in time when these cutie polishes came in the mail, I got an invite to go to the beach the week after. Can you guess what polish I used for this trip?


Yaasss! I used the Peach Perfect Nail Polish which happens to compliment my Otterbox Phone Case. <3 What I like about this color is that it complemented my skin well (especially under the sun). I can't wait to be playful with the other colors on the upcoming weeks!

To share with you the backstory on how my iPhone screen cracked, there are chips between the two ends of the gorilla glass that connected when I accidentally dropped my phone. The funny thing about this, I dropped it on my plate while devouring on s'mores. Yes, s'mores. (spell s-t-u-p-i-d-i-t-y) Also, I'm guilty of not using a shockproof phone case which lead to more damage for my phone.

I tried asking for Power Mac's support regarding this matter. Over the phone, they told me that I would need to shell out Php 18,000 for a new iPhone 6 unit to be replaced for 3 to 4 weeks. Insane!

I will teach you a step-by-step process on how I've successfully applied for a Unionbank EON VISA Card, and linked it to my existing PayPal account  (with few issues alongside, of course).
