Kamay Kainan buffet desserts

We had our PMIT (Publications, Multimedia, IT) Christmas celebration at Kamay Kainan at Market! Market!


The place has a comfy and not awkward rather than that 'formal' feel. Nevertheless, Perfect place to indulge Pinoy delicacies!

Desserts offered were healthy too! Hmm! Good news for sugar-consume conscious folks!
Kamay Kainan Market! Market! offers veggie salad, green mango with bagoong (hmm i think this doesnt count as dessert hehehe), gelatin (the orange one upper right), pandan salad (super sweeet), puddings, sorbetes, fresh fruits like pineapple, sweetened banana, etc



Overall, yummy and very sulit experience!

REVIEW: Etude House Code B Dear Darling Ultra Firming Lips

COLOR: OR201

I told Miss Etude Lady that what I need is an almost natural color for everyday use.

I dont like pink much but this shade really got me.

It is more expensive than Look at My Lips line because of its firming feature. Plus, Miss Etude Lady told me that it doesnt wears off easily compared to it LAML line.

Speaking about firming powers, hmm .. i think I could feel its 30% effectivity after using it for like four months. :)

The stick looks like peachy pink. Then looks a little orange-y when applied but naturally blends soft :)

It doesnt darken lips too. Smell is not strong-just the right at it :)

After wearing it the whole night, lips feel plump the next day unlike other products that chap lips. :)

I write a review on this because I am simply happy with it.

People notices too. Well, it is too personal too reveal comments. hihihih.


Anyway, recommended? Ow yes :) In fact, i want to purchase stocks of it!

I am so blessed I got this one stock left! It was waiting for me. hehehheh. It costs 300pesos+ (almost 400) but it really is worth it. God bless Etude House!

Etude House Yogurt Peel ( Nuts Mix ) - Review

My Yogurt Peel tube is about to be emptied and not a drop was a waste!

Nuts mix version is actually for dry skin but it wont actually oilify(if I may use the term) your skin.

smell : very feminine but not so strong. lovely!

the small beads scrubs the dead skin cells off. Yeah, you got to feel that! It does gentle peeling but not visible like harsh exfoliants (??) do. So, recommended to use everyday.

It's perfect for the face after a long day of foundation. Skin looks brighter and prettier after rinse! .. and talk about the smoothy softy feel ..

For weeks now, when I check my face at the mirror every time i wake up on the morning, I feel brighter supple baby skin. That's what a great exfoliation is! No harsh and ugly effects!

*sigh* This one's one nice facial scrub!

God bless the chemists of Etude! ♥

Experience Grace at my Church!

October 1, 2011

So I was reading this book, “What’s so amazing about Grace” book. In some chapters, Philip Yancey shared some stories of how gay people were treated on some Christian Churches - how they ban and how they treat them unfairly.

I was thinking ‘tsk tsk’. I believe God has allowed such things to let people realize to what level did they grasp His message of ‘Love one another’ and understand to be like Jesus who ‘love sinners, invited sinners to Him’ .

Somehow, I was wondering, how is my Church at this issue. I mean, we have no gay members (as far as I am aware of), and I havent encountered visitors like such.. hmmm. So I left this question hanging.

And just this Thursday, during our Midweek Service. A new visitor stood up in front for thanksgiving. He was a young man, he was honest when he said, I know its pretty obvious my gender is unsure - something like that. It is his birthday and he thank the Lord He brought him there.

I started to wonder. Hmm.. How will my pastors react on this?

To my overwhelm, my pastor stood up and got the mic…. He welcomed our visitor, sang Happy Birthday with the whole congregation and even stated that it doesnt matter what he might be. What matters - hey! Jesus died for him too! Our senior Pastor even confirmed this and shared that He believes there is something great that God has planned for our young visitor just like everyone else.

Pastora lead the challenge to pray the acceptance prayer and about 7 of our visitors including this young man accepted the challenge. They recognized Jesus as their Saviorthat night and declared that they will live for Him too!

Amazing things happen to Church!

Woa! I knew it! I love my Church! I love my God! ♥

memories with dear Ondoy

So it's been 2 years and a day since that killer flood came. Ondoy, as it is remembered till today, got many Filipinos and their houses swim in chocolate colored flood.

Where was I at that time?

September 26, 2010, Saturday- if I am not mistaken, at around 9am, I was on my way to my school at Taguig. Thinking it was just another rainy day, I was surprised when I received a text message from my friends who were already in the campus. They said classes were cancelled.

I was about to head back home when incredibly, the tricycle drivers said that theycant travel back - It was too flooded! Woah. it was only few minutes when I left there! So thinking that therain will soon stop, I decided to go inside the mall. I texted my papa, hows the situation on Makati and asked if he could fetch me. He asked me to wait and I was relieved.

I sat at the Foodcourt reading my devotional notes and ordered pizza and pasta.

When it was about around 12pm, I started to panic. I started to grumble thinking that I am wasting time. Should have been sleeping at home. I dont have enough sleeping hours those days. It was about Finals and thesis week.

I went down to the bookstore and read my bible. I was amazed when I took a glance at the window. Woah! THe rain is so heavy that it looks like it is snowing. I wanted to cry now, I told God. One thing I want in the whole world at that time to go home. I am so sleepy. u_u

Time flew to 3pm and I decided I will be going home no matter what. My papa cant fetch me anymore because of the flood. When I reached the village, I saw people walking, flood up to their knees. I was so scared. I cant do that! But i didnt stop. I really want to go home. I want to see my mama already - to exagge things.

So poof I went! I secured my phone - i need communication when things go worse! As I lusong sa flood, I kept on praying, yet I kept on thinking - Whats happening to the world?! I started to panic more when the water started to rise up above my knees! I started to tell God, Why me, Lord? Why?

When I reached my beloved house, seeing my mama opening the door for me, I could not feel more relief! I am overloaded with it!

When I watched the news, I was surprised. I didnt know that I am luckier - or more blessed.People lost homes, properties, got drowned, stranded at their houses' roofs, died that day. I will not elaborate more on the depressing stuffs.

At the end of the day all I could say was, thank you Lord, you saved me :'D

And now, September 27 2011, Thypoon is rummaging the country again. I am thankful I am safe home. Let's not forget to pray for people who suffer.

Luck?

No. LUCK

Let me explain,

Everything - all these things people call "LUCK" did not come from or cause of physical things - fortune plant, luck necklace, most of all- the Buddha figurine.

All these are BLESSINGS that come from GOD ALONE.

HE ALONE PROVIDES :) Mind you, God is a jealous God. Let us not thank or might as well, regard any material as the cause or resource of good things. :)

walk with Him righteously and He shall fulfill the desires of Your heart.

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

I am BLESSED. I didn't do anything to deserve all these. The simple reason is, I Have A BIG GOD. I am in love with my Creator. I recognize Jesus as my Lord, Savior, Provider. I gave my life to Him. I live for Him. Put my heart on doing things for Him. He loves me back more than I could ever measure!

I believe, that He wants you too! Just tell Him .. now!

Everything just came into the right place. God loves unconditionally. - walang kundisyon!

I am saying this because there are a number of people already who tells me,"ang swerte mo!" (You're so lucky) because of particular things (specifically fast job), that I myself is still at awe.

But ok, do not be mistaken that I am arguing. I am merely explaining. :)

"Not Luck, - BLESSINGS!" -> I will not get tired of responding to anyone to let them recognize the goodness of GOD :)

Savings bank account with passbook for starters

oh well, I've been looking for the Philippine bank with the cheapest minimum deposit for Savings account with Passbook aside from BDO. Plus, important factors are first, it must be convenient - open even on weekends; and safety- has branches even on malls and are open after 6:00pm (after office hour).

Ive been Googling for almost a half the day yesterday yet did not have the perfect answer!

Most banks require P10000 as initial deposit - not for me! These are for big-time salary-ied and savers already! hahah

I did not also have enough information and reviews from bloggers.

Well, just this morning, my beloved father gave me the answer. - CHINABANK!

Chinabank's initial deposit requirement is only P1000.

Plus, Chinabank has branches on certain SM malls which mean, they are open even on Saturdays (some are not open on Sundays ) - convenience and safety!

- Perfect for me and for everyone who are starting to earn and wants to save for investment.
