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...

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 important than toys anyway). I reached Carriedo station and got off at Gil Puyat. My sister told me that I could either ride a jeepney or just walk until I reach Cartimar. I choose to walk since I thought it couldn't be that far and I ended up cursing myself (it wasn't far but it was almost noon and it was really hot).

Upon reaching Cartimar, just walk straight and at the end of the chain of stores on the right side you'll find the grocery stores. I went inside each shop and was a bit disappointed since it wasn't as well stocked as I hoped it would be. And nope, I wasn't able to find Bbong Ddah. Going there isn't a complete waste though. One store was selling freshly made takoyaki and selling Japanese dining wares. I also found a shop selling 'konpeito' (candies as seen in 'Sprited Away') and a shop selling frozen Japanese foods (sashimi and others).

So, does anyone know where I can buy Bbong Ddah in Manila?
