SM's Play N Ride

We went to SM Southmall last Tuesday, February 16, 2016. This is because we promised Johann that we'll let him play in Play N Ride.

But first, lemme show you my #Nyelfie and #MOTD (or Makeup of the Day)! Hahaha!

The outfit above was my first option but I had to change to a simpler one. Hehe.

With my bebe.

Funny face daw cya.

Entrance is Php250 I think? Well, hindi ko naconfirm yan kay John. Ninang and I had to do some errands pa kasi sa BDO so nauna ang mag-ama ko. Anyway, for the parent or guardian, the entrance is Php50. I had to pay also another Php50 kasi I wanted to take pictures while Johann's playing. Too bad lang 'coz there were only three of them playing inside. 2 girls pa yun. So John, Johann and I played nalang. Kami ata ang nag-enjoy. Ang saya naman kasi talagang mag-slide sa gigantic slide nila don. Hehe.

See? I toldya! Ang saya magslide jan!

After 1 hour, we had our dinner in one of our Go to Resto kapag walang makapagdecide kung saan kakain, Savory. We had our usual order.

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic, Miki Bihon Binondo, Shanghai Rolls and Lechon Macau

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic. Fish was crispy! Yum!

Miki Bihon Binondo, our favorite!

Lumpiang Shanghai or Shanghai Rolls

and ofcourse, Lechon Macau!

Never really checked how much. Pag ganyang usapan, I leave it to John na. Haha! If I remember it correctly, he paid around 1k din. Madami naman kami na-take-out for mommy eh so okay nadin.

We had fun naman. Off kasi ni hubby John kaya family date muna kami niyan and buti nagenjoy naman si Johann. :)

Review: Sooper Beaute So Matte Lipstick and Lip & Cheek Therapy

Hi! It's nice to be back! I've been gone a long time and now, I just want to update my blog by sharing with you what I bought yesterday.

Actually, I have been seeing and eyeing stuff from Sooper Beaute online. I have checked their IG and FB but never got the chance to drop by their stall in SM Southmall. Anyway, I only bought two items. I wanted to try them first and if I like the consistency of these two items, that's when I'm going to buy more or other colors.

Magsasara nadin kasi ang SM Southmall, so I was not able to try the other items. Nagliligpit na si Ate dun. Since I'm into lippies lately, ito yung dalawang binili ko:

Sooper Beaute's So Matte Lipstick and So Matte Lip & Cheek Therapy

I got the shade "I like to Mauve it". It actually has a pink undertone and it's really good! Perfect for everyday wear. It's matte but not to the point that it is drying. It's kinda moisturized pa nga eh. The smell is not that horrible but it has a so-so chocolate-y smell. Not a yummy chocolate-y smell though. Hehe. The packaging is not really that sophisticated, 'coz it has plasticky gold lipstick tube and the label is just glued and taped onto it. But what's important is the inside. It is long-wearing as long as you don't really sip and eat that much. May fade but color would still be there 'coz it's really pigmented.

The other one is the So Matte Lip & Cheek Therapy. I am actually a fan of lip and cheek products 'coz they have dual purpose. This one is in cream type.

It is in a container with foot applicator. I got the shade "Polaris". Again, it is for everyday use. It also has a creamy consistency that is easy to apply to your lips most especially to your cheek. I love it on my cheeks but since I'm not really that maputi, this color is too light for me, I think? I would still be able to use this kasi mahilig naman ako magcombine ng lipstick lalo kapag hindi ko gusto masyado ang color. It is build-able as well on the cheeks. But less is more for a natural look.

Swatched with and without flash

 I actually bought the So Matte Lipstick for Php 430.00 and got the Lip and Cheek Therapy for free. Individually, I was not able to ask how much.

Overall, I like both products. As I mentioned above, perfect ang dalawang ito para sa araw-araw. The only thing I don't like about the So Matte Lipstick is that it has Paraffin and Propylparaben. Both are written on the sticker underneath the tube. I may repurchase the Lip and Cheek Therapy though. :)

John Wick

Image Source: Here

John Wick is a revenge thriller film starring Keanu Reeves.

John Wick's wife just died and some badass-punk-wannabe took something from him (John's car) and killed the poor puppy, he just received as a gift from his dead wife.

Unfortunately, those punks left him (John Wick) alive. Little do they know, they just messed with the wrong guy at the wrong time. As expected. revenge followed.

My take on the movie:

1. Mababaw lang akong tao. Yes, I liked the movie. Typical revenge-thriller-action kind of movie but this time, it's starring Keanu Reeves. He was a hitman with a different feel. It was something new for me since I haven't seen Keanu in any intense action movie like this one.

2. As expected though, even if this movie is a deep-action movie with all the hunting and gun firing, you wouldn't really see Keanu in an extreme fighting moves. Some scenes were blah. You know in the movie that everybody knows John Wick and most of them are even afraid of him. They were not eager to fight him but since duty calls, they just got to do it. So you'd have this impression that he's so freakin' good. But yeah, too good to be true. Punches and kicks were too weak for his character. It's like, he's good with guns but never with martial arts part. Just like what he is in Matrix, I guess. Those punches and kicks thrown were very limited. Expected but still disappointed.

3. There was no standard plot, just revenge. Then for a moment there, you'd thought, everything's finished but another story is to begin again, still a revenge though.

4. If you're looking for a story with necessary outcome, this movie ain't for you. If you're looking for a fun-action with a touch or pinch of brutality, then this is a good movie choice.



I really had fun watching John Wick. Despite some slight dismay, still two-thumbs up for me! And we all gotta love Keanu Reeves right?

What To Post?

What's up?!
I knooow I haven't blogged for a long time. I think this is the problem with me since I am just a typical stay-at-home mommy with normal chores. I just think that those everyday chores are boring. I just feel blah.

Everyday I am online, yet I have nothing to post nor share.

You know the feeling where, you want to write down everything you have in mind yet you don't know the exact words to say? Haay. There are also a lot of things going on in my mind that I don't know where to begin? Ugggh!

I love blogging, don't get me wrong. May be just now, I can't seem to find the inspiration. May be I already have the inspiration but at the back of my mind, I am still looking for more.

I'm not sure. I miss doing this but, ~(stop putting BUTs!)

Daddy

One thing I missed the most is blogging. Yes. This is really official.

I.am.officially.back.to.business.

How's everyone? Me? I am fine. We (my family and I) are trying to be okay. We are trying to cope up with life.

Earlier this year, January to be exact, Daddy passed away.  It is so sudden that even if I am not close to him, I am still affected. Not to the point that I cry every night though. There is this guilt feeling and emptiness. Yes we do fight a lot, and I mean, A LOT! That's probably why I miss him too. It's so quiet here at home that I miss his presence.


Sorry dad. I am really sorry. It is really true that you will never know what you got until it is gone. I just hope, that wherever you are right now, may God guide you to the light you have hoped for. We will always remember you in good times and bad. We love you. I know you know that Johann misses you. He is just so brave to handle and know that you are gone to heaven with Papa Jesus. But he always remembers you. 

We love you daddy.


It is not easy to say goodbye especially when you never got the chance to say sorry nor say you love them. But for me, it is still never too late. I know that even if Daddy has passed away already, he sees us and knows for sure how sorry we are for ignoring him before. Deep inside I know he knows we love him and that we are grateful for having him as my father, Johann's lolo and mommy's husband.

Just Saying

This deserves a blog entry.

I just don't get it. Some people say "tangkilikin ang sariling atin". Let's say Filipino-made items or movies or the like. Pero kapag dating sa teleserye natin parang yung iba direng - dire and they generalize that there's no good stuff in National TV anymore. Hmmm.. kayo ha.. Kapag foreign artist manghang mangha kayo. Fan pa kayo. Pero kapag artista natin nandidiri kayo.

I agree and disagree. Agree at some point because YES there are shows talaga na hindi ko ma gets kung bakit pinapalabas. Like yung show sa tv5 na Face to Face.. Minsan iisipin mo bayad yang mga yan. Or who cares about their problems? Na tipong "what the hell?". And yes there are teleseryes na hindi talaga maganda ang plot. Minsan din hindi maganda ang mga linya o script. Minsan ang effects ng isang fantaserye ay nakakaapekto din sa tingin mo sa show. Pero ang madalas..  over-rated na and sobnrang predictable na ng mga nangyayari or mangyayari.

Over-rated kasi isipin nyo, madalas sa teleserye ang nagkahiwalay or pinaghiwalay ang magulang at anak. Pero sa liit ng mundo nila, ayon nagkikita at nagkikita. Or mahirap ang bida tapos biglang aangat sa buhay or yayaman tapos makakapaghiganti na. Singitan pa ng madaming twist yan. Pero kahit anong dami ng twist.. minsan talagang predictable padin.

I disagree sa sinasabi ng iba na there's no good stuff in national tv anymore, because there is. There are documentary shows and even adventure shows or teleseryes na I can say worth watching. I am not full-pledged kapamilya, kapatid nor kapuso but these three major channels that we have give good to great shows. Entertaining ika nga nila. Lahat na ata ng emotion. Masaya, sa mga feel good shows or sa mga noontime shows na nakakatulong sa kapwa.

Lungkot, sa mga docu shows na nagpapakita ng ndi magagandang nangyayari satin. Galit, na kadalasan nakukuha sa news at mga teleserye na nadadala tayo. Kasama na jan ang pagkaintense or pagkagulat at pagkabitin. Hehe.

Plus, maraming shows ang may magagaling na writers at director. Hand in hand yan I believe. Kasama nadin ang mga gumaganap. Kapag walang writer.. walang show na ipapalabas or ipproduce.. Ang direktor kelangan maiguide ang mga actors and actresses para maayos kada scene.. And actors and actresses kelangan magaling umarte para din madeliver ang tamang emotion every scene. Para makapagpalabas ng magandang show.

Also, some shows give stories that really happens. Docu, news, reality and teleseryes. Pero I wanna concentrate sa teleserye. Dati mga typical personas makikita sa isang primetime shows eh. Mga naaaping bida.. mga kontrabidang galit na galit lang talaga sa mundo at gusto maghari harian. Few years back or may be just a year or two, nauso ang mga kabit or 3rd party movies.. nasundan sa teleserye.. i'm sure madaming sumubaybay sa Legal Wife. I admit hindi ako, kasi hindi ko nasimulan pero I watched some eps. Plus ang kasama ko dito ay sa GMA nanunuod that time. Naiinis ang iba kasi daw ang mga shows ngayon tulad ng TLW parang "face palm" nalang sakanila. And then yung ngayon Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real ganun din. Actually, both stories are good. Sa TLW ending was okay lang but all in all magaling pagkakagawa ng TLW. It happens naman talaga to some.

Now this ADMR, it also happens. I congratulate pa nga the writers of these shows. Atleast, we admit that these kind of things happen in real life. Even the show Dading. May mga bakla or bading tayong friends na may anak and willing magkaanak. We are now open to these situations in life. And we show it to people because somebody somewhere may actually relate himself or herself to a character or to a story and  it may actually help him or her kasi kahit papaano ang mga pinapalabas sa tv ay nagbibigay din ng moral lessons sa atin.

National TV air shows like those to simply entertain and educate/inform us. Produced and directed by our fellowmen. Ang hihilig natin sa foreign tv series pero bakit ayaw nating iopen ang isip natin sa shows na sariling atin?

I watched the episode in PowerHouse of GMA na ang guest nila ay si Ms. Teysie/Tessie Tomas. She mentioned that she is an artist and a writer. And to become a good artist or writer she needs and wants to watch all kinds of movies or shows whether good nor bad, boring or not, to develop the writer in her. Minsan kapag ndi maganda ang certain scene or ending, the creativity and writer in her kicks in and she rewrites the story on her own and appreciates them.

For me, in order to appreciate what is ours, we need to know most of what we have and see. If sawang sawa na kayo sa balita about gobyerno natin and how it sucks, why not watch other shows nalang that would entertain us. Just to set up the mood or balance it up. Let's start with ours. Don't act as if sobrang papangit ng mga show na ito na masuka suka kayo, kasi if pangit, bakit andaming nanunuod or sumusubaybay? Lahat ng klase ng tao I guess. Or you are just afraid to admit 'coz society thinks you're baduy or low-life or boring na tao just by watching them?

Oh well. Just me and what I think others think. No offense. Again, an opinionated me. Hoho.

Peace!
