HEY! So even if I haven't been posting much about beauty lately, my love for it hasn't wavered. I have tons of reviews that are sitting here in the draft box, but after I saw the sale, discounts and amazing deals at Lazada for their 5th Birthday Sale... Well... I can't resist.



*Pahabol na New Years Resolution: Post more Reviews and Tutorials and OOTDs.* :D

I was in Paradise Dynasty in S Maison, Conrad Hotel a couple of weeks ago. Although very famous for their Chinese cusine and the 8-colored Xiao Long Bao, I found that there are also many other dishes to rave about in this place. Aside from dumplings, they have an awesome Stir-Fried Beef with Kai Lan, yummy Spicy Spicy Szechuan Crispy Chicken and Glutious Rice Dates that are perfect for your kids. Also, you can ask them to adjust the spice level of some dishes. :D



I've never really tried Xiao Long Bao until the day I stepped in Paradise Dynasty in S Maison. All I know is that their Xiao Long Bao is a big deal because they have other flavored infused in theirs aside from the original. I thought it was just an ordinary dumpling that you dip in some sauce and vinegar.

Looking for a fuss free and affordable place for Chinese food in SM Megamall, and I would probably tell you to go to Superbowl Of China. They have great Chicken there, awesome dimsum platter and UNLI YANG CHOW RICE for a certain amount. Pretty awesome yeah? :D

If you're looking for an interesting place to chill in Manila, Gateway Gallery has you covered. The second anniversary of "Sining Saysay : Philippine History in Art" exhibit is launched with a bang by utilizing Virtual reality, and mixing it with the paintings featured in the art exhibit in Manila.



Virtual reality is very rampant today for our entertainment use. You can see rides and games in the malls and you can also have it in the coziness of home. But what is BETTER  than Virtual Reality? AUGMENTED REALITY people. And one of the best places to try this out? Sining Saysay Art Museum in Gateway Gallery, which retells Philippine history by making the paintings come alive in your phone or tablet.

Evolution really is getting quicker as time goes by. Everything gets better and better by the second. Unfortunately, it's not just the good stuff that evolves, Bacteria and Viruses also undergo this.  What can make us casually sick before has now become more potent and fatal.



I was with Sanofi and a couple of specialist doctors a couple of weeks ago, and a discussion was held on some of these said viruses and how we can try to fight against them. There are actually a LOT of types of sickness that can be brought on by mosquitoes; the focus being on Japanese encephalitis (JE), known to be a leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. This virus has many symptoms, some of which are the following:

•  inflammation of the brain, leading to high fever


• headache


• fatigue


• vomiting


• confusion

School's (ALMOST) out for summer! While this would mean a couple of months where moms and dads can take a little breather, it also means looking out for ways that we can show our kids ways to help out our planet. Latitude and Cool Kids Bags for kids show us fashionable backpacks for school and great character bags with icons who can show our little ones how to save the planet!

We all have dreams of creating our own home and adding in fine design pieces that can relay our own personal story. But wandering into one furniture store usually is not enough. That is the reason why I envy the Northeners, as SM North EDSA has an entire wing dedicated to the art and craft of Interior Design.



I knew about this when I attended their "Home is Where the ART is" Exhibit, which showcases the works of fine young designers who were part of the Red Box Design Program.

The Red Box Design Program is a program set up to nurture the next generation of Filipino designers. Started in 2013 by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), and with said program, they have cultivated definite Pinoy talent and helped to realize the student's true potentials.





They had 3 talented and experienced young designers who gave a talk to give inspiration to the next batch of designers. Be it Interior Designing or Fashion and Jewelry, Red Box Design Program helps out to cultivate this.
