Shiny Shimmering Shoes: Mia Gray (Shoebox & Me)

I know that men's wear is becoming a trend for women's fashion. From the boyfriend shirts to men's flats aka loafers. I'm not the fashionista type and I'm more of the comfort over looks type thus I'm really digging men's stuff. When going to the office and you're wearing something smart casual (long sleeved polo and skinny jeans), it's nice to match with some comfy footwear like loafers instead of killer heels. It's also perfect if you're wearing leggings or shorts.

The look:

Women's Jackie Penny Loafer Steel Metallic Leath $86




Lauren by Ralph Lauren Loafers - Glenda Metallic $67


I got my dark gray metallic loafers (Style: Mia) from Shoebox & Me (Robinsons Galleria) for P899. At first I was hesitant to buy it because I wasn't sure if I could work with something metallic and I didn't want something flashy but with its dark gray shade I thought it wouldn't be so bad.



I've tried this last weekend as I was walking around Makati and it was so comfy! Definitely a good buy. I just hope it would last =)

Healthy Hearty Meal

Why is Pho Hoa my go-to healthy place? You'll be assured to have a well-balanced meal. Also their dishes are naturally flavored by fresh vegetables and  herbs with the right mix of your favorite meat toppings.



I ordered minced chicken and mushroom with lettuce wrap with hoisin sauce.
The lettuce wrap was very fresh and crispy while the minced chicken and mushroom was so tasty. It was filled with chopped carrots making it more healthy. It was a perfect low-carb meal.


My brother ordered COM TOM THIT  NUONG - Grilled Pork & Shrimp w/ Rice.
Not much of veggies but less oil for the dish because both the shrimp and pork were grilled. The original recipe is supposed to be vermicelli noodles instead of rice but being a pinoy, it's good for me.


One of the best spring rolls I've ever tasted. So fresh, crispy and tasty =P



Since I wanted to add some 'hotness' in my meals, I poured some 'sriracha' (more like their hot sauce).
Their lemon juice was indeed fresh =)




Ofcourse it won't be complete without having pho (soup) since it was their specialty and it was perfect for the rainy evening. We ordered Pho Do Vien (seafood noodle soup). It had some shrimp and fish balls.
It comes with a plate of additional fresh flavorings like basil leaves, bean sprouts and lime to add taste.

I loved Pho Hoa, I'll definitely go back to have a scrumptious, and guilt-less meal =)

Caingin Fiesta at San Rafael, Bulacan

During the first sunday of May, residents of Caingin, San Rafael Bulacan, celebrate their 'fiesta'.
We were invited by some of my mom's relatives as they would be preparing their special dishes.
We first dropped by the Sto. Cristo Parish as it was known to be miraculous.





Outside the church, there were vendors selling calasiao and suman.



In the Philippines, only one thing is certain when it comes to celebrating fiestas, and that is overflowing food.









Seafood, lechong baka, sinampalukang manok and home-made langka ice cream were just some of the dishes served. 

And ofcourse, no celebration would be complete without videoke!=)



I'm proud to say that our relatives were all talented singers. When I was asked if I could give a 'sample', I told them I would rather dance instead (and in my head I was planning to do the running man =P).

I ate a lot of shrimp and I surprisingly liked the home-made langka ice cream though I dont eat langka. It was a fun and filling day and I hope to be back next year =)

Dye Another Day

The black roots of my hair were starting to show after 7 months since my last cellophane treatment =(
I was hesitant to go back to the salon to have it retouched because it would cost around P1K just to cover the roots.

When a friend suggested to color my own hair and try Etude's Bubble Hair Coloring, I decided to give it a go since it only costs P378.00. When I went to the nearest Etude House branch (Megamall), I found out that this product is always out of stock and I have to reserve one and go back after a few days. 

You can choose from the following colors: deep black, natural brown, dark brown, and wine red.  
I chose dark brown since the natural brown was too light for me.


It's so easy to use. Just pour in #1 (pink sachet) into #2 (white foam dispenser), give it a little shake and it's ready. If you will notice, the bottle will become a bit warm probably due to the chemical reaction. 


The package also comes with plastic gloves and a body cover to protect your clothes from getting stained. 
Once you're all set, you can now lather your dry hair with a lot of foam from the dispenser. Make sure to cover every side to make the color even. You can use a big toothed comb to make sure the color reaches the roots. Continue massaging your hair and spreading the foam for 30 minutes.



After 30 minutes, you can now rinse your hair with the conditioner. (#5)
Your hair will feel so dry but the conditioner will do the work to regain its natural softness.
After rinsing and drying my hair, my black roots now look like this: (with flash)



with white lights and no flash



A very affordable makeover that took only 30 minutes =)
