Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

-
I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Let's get some shoes, BETCH!

I've been enjoying Liam Kyle Sullivan's " Kelly " videos since 2008, but it was just this week when I picked up the 'Shoes' album featuring the songs used in those videos. Aren't we friends? My favorite track is 'Txt Msg Breakup'. It's not because it was the first Kelly video I've seen, It's just that it has a bit 'darker' feel than the other songs. Even without seeing those videos, I think most people will still like 'Shoes'. Though, I think those who have seen the videos will be able to appreciate the tracks in the album more. What do I want for my birthday? Not shoes. Somebody get me a ' Betch ' t-shirt instead.

Cream Puffs - revisited

-
Last Thursday I went to some place in Balintawak to pass my resume since I'm in dire need of an OJT. Me and my friend got lost and ended up being (almost) 30 minutes late. The people there are nice though. We finished quite early, so I decided to go to Banawe for some cream puffs. I forgot the name of the bakery (it was 'Peter Pan' I think), but it's hard to miss since it's located beside the Philippine Orthopedic Hospital. It was around 10:30 but the cream puffs aren't ready yet. Well, they finished baking the puffs but the cream filling and toppings aren't done. By 12:15, the cream puffs were ready (yes, I waited for almost 2 hours). I bought 16 pieces, half of it for my two bestfriends, and half of it to take home. It was a big bigger (or a bit more puffier) than before. The caramel topping is thicker, and the cream filling sweeter and more yellow. LOL. It was still good though. My sister, who hated those cream puffs before had a sudden change of he...

Japanese and Korean Grocery Stores in Cartimar

-

Classes were dismissed early yesterday and I don't want to go home yet. I've been searching for a particular Korean frozen treat '뽕따 (Bbong Ddah)' and since I heard that there are a few Japanese and Korean grocery stores inside Cartimar, I decided to go there. I don't know how to go to Cartimar. The only time I went there was to buy a puppy when I was a kid and I was with my dad and we had a car. I texted my sister for help and thanks to Google, she was able to give me directions. From school (in Sta. Mesa Manila), I rode a jeep en route to 'Divisoria'. Instead of going inside the LRT line 2 Recto station (the line 2 Recto station and line 1 Doroteo Jose station are connected), I got off at Avenida and decided to walk until I reach Carriedo station. I wanted to go first to a shop in Avenida wherein they're selling various odds and ends from Japan, but I decided against it since I don't want to come up short during grocery shopping (food is more ...
