HongKong Adventure

Before anything else, I would like to greet you...yes you, all of you my beautiful readers  a happy day! I missed you all and missed my blog too! It has been two months since my last update. Sorry guys, I've been a little busy and VERY lazy for the past two months...I guess I needed a break. Oh wait, I just had my vacation last August but it was just a short one, I guess it's better than no vacation at all. 

Last August Sweets, Toots and yours truly went to Hong Kong for a short vacation. We've been preparing for our trip for weeks and we even drafted a sample Itinerary just to make sure we manage our time wisely while roaming around the city, you see...we have a very limited time we only have 2 days to roam the city and on our 3rd day, we have an early flight going home.  

We arrived at the airport at 10 in the morning, The airport is very big and when I say big I mean HUGE! You even have to ride a train just to go to Immigration.  It was already 11:30 when we finished all the requirements and things we needed to do first before going to the hotel to check-in, that is,  (money changer, octopus cards etc.).   On our first day, we went to The Peak, HK Museum, Avenue of Stars, Harbour City and Night Market. Oh and our timing was perfect because almost all stores are on sale and most outlet stores are on 70% off! Perfect isn't it? As for the next day, we've decided to to go Ngong Ping 360 and DisneyLand. I will just post another entry about the different places we've been to since there's so much story to tell and one blog post is not enough =)

Before the trip, most of my friends and officemates who have been to HK, warned us that most people there do not speak english and most of them are rude.  Well, I have to agree that not all can speak English but about the rude part--I am sorry but I have to disagree. Maybe some people are rude but, you can also see a lot of rude people here in the Philippines right? These kind of people are everywhere and too bad we can't get rid of them right? So, it's just the same in HK. In fact, we even met 3 kind hearted people who helped us out.  The first person who helped us  was an old lady and she's a HK national,  we asked her for direction on how to go to Jordan exit and the old lady can hardly speak English but she was kind enough to help and answer our questions even if she is having a hard time explaining, and what made her an angel is that she even walked with us and showed us the way to the Hotel. The second person is an OFW, when she found out that we were from PI, she was very helpful in giving us direction and which elevator to take. And lastly, the third person was a young guy and he's a HK national too. He gave us the direction on how to go to harbour city mall and he told us that since he was too early to meet up with his wife at the mall, he can help us and get us a taxi to go to harbour city since our legs and feet can no longer walk due to exhaustion.  These people are very kind and we really do appreciate all the help!

It was my first time to travel outside the country so it was really fun and memorable. I definitely am going back to HK and when I do, I wish to take my Mom, Sis and Sweets. And if anyone of you is generous enough to send me free roundtrip tickets, I will greatly appreciate it! hahaha!

Thank god it's Friday and have a sweeeet day to you all!

Let's go Organic!

Aside from being addicted to Make Ups, I’m also a sucker for skin care products, particularly Bath Soaps. It is very important that we keep our skin healthy for many reasons; our skin is the largest organ in our body and it is our body’s first line of defense against diseases, infection and other health problems. The sad part is that most of us ignore it, we cause it harm buy using products that contains harsh ingredients and chemicals that leads to further skin damage.

Do you want to know how to have a soft and smooth skin like me? (forgive me guys, anyway I am the owner :P) Okay, here’s my secret --> Organic Soap. Soaps have a lot of benefits but these are only effective if you choose the right kind of soap for you. Commercial soaps are not really safe for the skin as they claim to be. Try to assess your skin after having a shower, most of the time your skin feels dry and stretched. Most of these commercially produced soaps are made out of synthetic chemicals that cause our skin to become dry and even cause allergies. If you want to have a beautiful and healthy skin, it would be better for you to switch to organic soaps. This kind of soap only contains natural ingredients and does not contain any harsh or harmful substances. Ingredients used are also grown organically which means that they have been produced without using herbicides, chemical fertilizers or even pesticides.

When you are shopping for organic products, I suggest you to do some research first; you have to review the labels for the organic and natural ingredients. As for me, I am a huge fan of All Organics, this is where I buy my bath soaps and I highly recommend their products. Their soaps are all handmade and are specially formulated to deliver the very best in skin care while using only safe, truly natural ingredients. Their products contain no harmful preservatives and chemicals such as parabens, mineral oil, paraffin, petrolatum, phenol carbolic acid, propylene glycol, acrylamide, toluene, dioxane, sulfates, triclosan, triclocarban, EDTA, TEA, DEA, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS/SLES).

Here are my orders, I ordered 5 Goat's Milk Honey Oatmeal soap, this is my all time favorite, and it best suits my sensitive skin giving it, a soft and silky smooth squeaky clean and moisturized feeling, it smells good too! I also got 10 free Milea Mineral Make up samples and a free “Rescue in a Bottle.” Thank you so much Ms. Eds for the freebie, I am very happy with the service and I will be buying more from you soon =)

Guys, if you want to try their products, you may visit them at http://www.allorganics.com.ph/ and http://www.miletnbea.multiply.com/.

Loves, when you're going green by purchasing organic soap and other products for your family, you are also protecting the environment. Organic ingredients are traditionally grown without the use of chemicals, including pesticides that pollute our air, run into our water supplies, and become embedded in our soil. Instead, organic ingredients are harvested in a way that is actually beneficial to our entire ecosystem. Let us support the environment as well as the products that are 100% Philippine made. Let’s go Organic!

Bonding Time

Mood: happy and in love
Music: Thunder - Boys like Girls

Last month me and Sweets had our bonding moment that is Shopping. While me and Sweets are holding hands while walking (hihihi my kilig moment), I saw National Bookstore, then I remembered the cookbook I was planning on buying I'm not sure if it was a year or 6 months ago...but anyway, since we were on our shopping mode, I told him if we can go to NBS since I want to check if they have the particular cookbook I was looking for. I was able to find one, and it was the only stock they have left. Unfortunately, when I looked at the price tag I have no choice but to return the book in the shelf, it was way too expensive for me. If I really wanted to, I can still buy the book but I won't be able to buy any other stuff, coz you see me and Sweets have decided to limit the cash we have to spend. We made an agreement to only spend 1,600 PHP each. So there, I have to give it up. I can't have it....yes, I can't have it.

After we left the bookstore, while H-H-W-S (holding hands while strolling) at the mall, I just can't get the book out of my head until, we passed by So Fab, and there I saw the cute Pink Shoes or sandal or whatever you want to call it anyway it's still a footwear. I was happy again =) And what made me happier is that Sweets liked the shoes too! So, I'm happier times two!

It was a blast! I had a great day off plus what made it super special is get to spend it with Sweets. We had a fully loaded Italian Lunch, yes it was fully loaded; I got me my candy colored headband as you can see in the picture I actually got a dozen of them but those 3 are my favorite colors, I got me new shoes, new shirt, I helped Sweets buy his stuff, and lastly Strawberry and Creme Frappe!




Sweet day to all!
