The Adventures of Miss Tardy-Pants: Yoga and Carbs

After yoga, I stuffed my face at Agave.  Ganito talaga style para pumayat.  Grrr. 

Wish you were here, Kuya Eric!

That Blue Box

Love.

Scents for Her

In order to make rummaging around my room like an ipis at midnight more productive, I decided to post photos of my favorite scents.

When I feel like it's going to be a tough day and I need lots of energy, I spritz on some Burberry (The Beat).

I turn to Ferragamo (Incanto Bliss) when I want to feel pretty.

Kenneth Cole (For Her) gets me giddy when boring days are ahead of me.  Such a classic.

My sister and I swear by XOXO.  It is pure love.

Victoria's Secret discontinued my all-time favorite body mist (Pink Freesia).

Oooh!  I can smell Gucci and Givenchy all the way from the other side of the world.  I can't wait!

Sabadon't

0) I did not bring my camera because I did not intend to drive all the way to MOA.  Commute = no heavy camera.

1) I got reunited with the MRT today, literally travelling from the north to the south of Manila.  From North Avenue station, we got off at Taft Avenue station and then walked under the sweltering heat to get a cab at the opposite side of the road.  I noticed then that the pedestrian overpass system at that intersection was not given much thought by the people who run Metro Manila.  It was yet another proof of how poorly the government uses my hard-earned cash. 

2) We did not get a cab.  Instead, we opted to ride a jeepney to get to the Mall of Asia.  Why? Because the sun was beating down on the pavement and on my scalp.  At the stoplight, a man soliciting funds for some cause climbed up the jeepney and then gave a well-rehearsed speech.  I really wanted to donate some money, but decided against it since my hand-eye coordination is worst in public places. 

3) From MOA, we needed to go to Seaside.  I was not planning on perspiring to death so I  insisted that we take a cab even if our final destination would only be a few cartwheels away from the mall grounds. 

3) We were in MOA to sample this recommended (by very reliable foodies) buffet called Vikings.  We were promised good food and most importantly, value for money.  We originally planned to have lunch there, but since not all of us could make it on time, we decided to have dinner there instead.  Oh, and on weekends, lunch and dinner service is more expensive.

4) To pass the time, we walked back to MOA to have a light lunch (at A Venetto -- I missed this and Paulo), look for Pinoy-pride pasalubong and then go bowling after.  Had so much fun bowling, but I was not happy with my scores. 

5) We were waitlisted for dinner already (we missed our chance for walk-in reservation) and the staff at Vikings were not the most polite people when it comes to dealing with waitlisted customers.  For the price, the food was not that awesome (there was really no "Oooh-*eyes-rolled-up-to-the-back-of-my-head*" moment), but there's no denying how filling the food was.  A notable feature of this buffet was that we did not have to wait for food items to be refilled.  Hindi sila nauubusan ng tempura sauce.  My favorite part (and possibly the best advantage this buffet has over the others in its class) is the overflowing supply of drinks (and yogurt).  I have to confess that I did not take much advantage of this because of my new love affair with good-old, classic H2O. 

I spent the day laughing with good friends and consuming thousands of calories. 

So, how's your Sabadon't?

Daing Bulaklak

Fact.  Saturday morning rain threatened to cancel our biglaang Tagaytay trip.  Fact.  Sonya's Garden lunch buffet was awesome (at least for some of us). Fact.  Gulay is good.  Fact.  Clubhouse hopping is fun.  Fact.  Amujep drives like a lunatic.

At Rowena's, I saw this:

I thought these were fish (I started looking for fish eyes) --

Isda lang alam kong ginagawang daing

Maaang almost got me convinced that these are literally daing na FLOWERS!

I need to know. Huhu.  Someone please tell me what these are. >,<

LSS: Hate On Me

If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me

If I can find in all this
A dozen roses
That I would give to you
You'd still be miserable

'Cause in reality
I'm gon' be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought

You can try as you may
Bring me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gonna do what you do

Hate on me, hater
Now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad baby

(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got, I paid for
You can hate on me

Ooh, if I gave you peaches
Out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me hard?

Wonder if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own room
Would you feel the love in that
Or ask why not the moon?

If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity
And had all the solutions
For the pain and pollution

No matter where I live
Despite the things I give
You'll always be this way
So go ahead and

Hate on me, hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby

(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got, I paid for
You can hate on me

Hate on me, hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby

Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got, I paid for
You can hate on me

You cannot hate on me
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby

Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got, I paid for
You can hate on me

Hate on me, hater
Now or later
Cause I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby

Go 'head and hate on me hater
'Cause I'm not afraid of
What I got, I paid for
You can hate on me


Sorry for not being a better kaaway, poosa.  Whee!

Bikram Yoga

Yesterday was yoga day.  I tried my best to stay strong throughout the whole thing, but I just couldn't.  *tamad* 

Tomorrow will be a better day.
