Movies and Eats

The Hobbit, with BK chicken for our movie food :)

After we watched, we chanced upon BreadStory's Buy1Take1 just before mall closing time

Garlic and Sausage bread

Chili's Megamall with colleagues  :)

Grilled Chicken Salad

Some healthy eats at Pho Hoa :)

Chicken Noodles

One weekend we rented Turbo :) luvit!

Just a few dine out for the past few weeks, we chose to stay at home and eat simple foods most of the time  =)

Shop for a Cause

I already started wrapping Christmas gifts last month.

Last year, I shopped up to the last minute! So this time, I am feeling organized and started shopping early.

In case you still need to buy gifts, consider shopping for a cause :)

I already bought some of my gifts from Domesticity .

I still need to buy some of my gifts and personal stash from Human Nature. 

DECEMBER 7: Goodness Rising Launch

10AM and 2PM, Human Nature Flagship Store in Commonwealth 

To launch the Goodness Rising project, on this day, 100% of the profits from the sales of all Human Nature products will fund the building of the Human Nature GK Village.

There are many shops out there that we can support because part of their sales will go to the victims of typhoon or will help the marginalized sector.

 December is the busiest and stressful month for me for the past years as there are meetups to attend, mall/bazaar hopping for gifts, year end deadlines, traffic etc., so I have to think of ways to eliminate stress such as preparing gifts early, buying online if possible, have something to read during traffic /waiting lines, enjoy Christmas treats and sweets while being conscious; in other words, "Don't sweat it!", after all that is the fun of Christmas rush ^_^

 In other news, showbizbalita, how sad that one of our fave movies Fast and Furious star passed away after a charity event for our country (hmmm what will happen to Fast7? T_T )

 Life is indeed fragile and we must live every moment of it...

Mom and Tina's Bakery Cafe, Bazaar

We had a quick breakfast at Mom and Tina's bakery cafe along C5 yesterday before going south at St. James Bazaar.  I ordered an apple pie P130 and M had US Beef Tapa P250, it looked like a bacon. Is that why it's called US tapa?

I requested the pie to be reheated but I think I like it cold ;p It gets a bit sour halfway 

Christmas Goodies starts at P100

I don't have a photo at the bazaar yesterday. I was overwhelmed by lots of stores, it was extremely hot at noon. By the time we got there, we were parked far from the bazaar. So I suggest if you are going there next year, be early as it is open by 9AM.  If you know a store that will participate, know their booth/stall location. I did a research the day before but I forgot the exact location of Props Tool and Makeup, they were at Gym Row 7 and I'm looking for them in ParkingLot Row 7 :/ Anyway I was able to buy what I need :)

Our Christmas tree was up since October!
Just few more days aaand it's the time of the year once again. Are you feeling festive yet? ;p

Balik Bukid at Sta Elena Fun Farm

  As I said in my previous post, I wanted to share a few more photos of our day at Sta. Elena fun farm.

We were there as early as 9:30 AM :)

I think it was my first time to see ducklings paddling their little feet underwater. how cute.

There are ducks, rabbits and chickens on the loose.

cutie rabbits!

we  also saw some pigs, horses, hamsters and even snake

The maintenance staffs were wearing filipiniana and katipuneros outfit.

There are more to see out there but we easily get tired so we rested for a bit after we checked all the stalls for n times and bought mango shake.

I discovered a lot of brilliant eco-friendly and healthy products.

biodegradable cup made from corn and yam

I tasted the "Going Bananas" from SundreamPH today and it was chewy but very filling. 

Interesting solid perfume from Aromateria at P250. I wanted to buy the one with 'Sherlock' print on it, only that the scent is too strong for me.

Weekend: New hair at the country fair

Last friday, we rented a movie from Google Play at $4.99

We've been waiting for "World's End" but it was not shown here in PH. 

Not really related to the first 2 (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) but they are called the Cornetto trilogy. Hmmm well the 3rd one was not as hilarious as the first two movies, it was OA that it almost looks like an anime and it's not wholesome!

Saturday was spent at the salon. After many years, I decided to have my hair rebonded again. 

Sometimes you get that itch to change your hairdo eh? 

I opted for the Volume Rebond at Pals Salon Pasig branch.After the normal rebond another few hours for the volume rebond so as not to make it look flat.  Hangtagal pala nun! I was there at 9AM and finished at 4PM. O_o 

And then Sunday, my dentist appointment was cancelled so we just went early to Balik Bukid fair   

I was not able to go last time and after seeing ms. january's post I told myself I shouldn't miss the next one.

I bought a bottle of Cesario's Garlic bits in oil P120

Sundream Bananas P110

Bignay chocolate cake (moist and chocolateyy!) and wine from St. Ambrose

Bignay Chocolate Cake P100

Bignay Wine P250

grass fed beef burger from Down to Earth P200

I also bought a room and linen spray. I was hoping to see Domesticity or Gkonomics as I'm planning to buy my christmas gifts but they were not there. 

They also have a live screening of Pacquaio and Rios match. I checked out every booth there while mike watched the undercard's match. I joined him later on when it was already the main event. The audience was cheering loudly! 

new hair at the fair!

I'll blog about the Sta Elena fun farm in detail on my next post ^_^

Have a great week ahead!
