NEW PRODCUT ALERT!

To all you tanners out there...

Before heading out to Bohol, I headed out to the grocery a few hours before my flight and started buying my beach toiletry neccessities...

Tanning lotion. tanning amplifier, sunscreen, aloe cooling lotion... And with a little wandering here and there... I saw this... Hawaiin Tropic's Royal Tanning Blend Continuous Spray...

This was extremely nice to use... It was easier than the tanning amplifier and the original royal tanning blend... Hence the name, continuous spray, it was truly continuous (well, that is until it runs out)... perfect for lazy beach dogs such as myself... LOOOOVE!

Anywhoo, here I am after Bohol... Sad, Semi-bloated, but GOLD!

Little Tokyo - Kikufuji

Last March 27, 2009, VGF Jon and I finally pushed through with our plan to eat at the now INFAMOUS Jap Food district in Makati... Little Tokyo.

Before all the huss and fuss and blog "ingay" about Kikufuji and the other reasonably priced restaurants in the area, Little Tokyo was really just a hole in the wall watering hole for the Japanese community and it's businessmen. I remember going there, circa 2006 or was it 2007, and we barely saw a single Filipino diner there... Now... The parking lot for Little Tokyo was packed with cars... mainly still from the the Jap communities, but the clients consisted of a large amount of Filipino diners...

The food was of course authentic... and it was really just good Japanese food... I wouldn't scream all out for it like I would about Tsumura in Salcedo... But it was reasonably priced and value for the money... Beats Teriyaki Boy and Omakase by a mile and then some...

The interior... Very Dojo noh?! Typical Japanese restaurant...

We decided to sit by the bar... Was hoping to get the seat by the Sashimi area, but sadly to say, it was taken...

Oysters... A little photography shot here and there... Alam mo na...

MMMMMMM... Shake Sashimi... My weakness...

The new Japanes craze in Manila... Spicy Tuna... The meat was extremely tender and just plain out YUUUM!! The "ang hang" - spiciness level was just right... But the spicy tuna from Haiku is still the best for me... MMMMM... Yum!!

Chicken Teriyaki...

A Sad Day

Monday, April 13, 2009

On my blog, there a few things that I tend to cover... Bags, restaurants, shoes, and basically anything shallow... But today, let's do something different... Let's talk about something deeper, something more personal, something that i've totally forgotten and lost...

Let's talk about me...

The past week have been a whirlwind of highs and mega lows... Ending... well, with a mega LOW. In life, I believe there's a balance, a balance of good events and bad situations. I mean, we all can't be happy all the time right?!? RIGHT?!? Haaaay... So anyways, something that I never thought and expected to happen, has happend...

I lost my partner in crime...
My confidant...
My LOML... =(

They say things happen for a reason. Things occur because there's something bigger, better, and greater that's suppsed to happen that mostly everyone involved, at the present time, probably can't see. But I guess in time, (keeping my finger crossed) we'll see the bigger picture.

As of now, I don't know how to go about my days. I don't know how to cope... But I guess in time... I'll know... We just have to keep moving forward and realize that more often than not, life goes on...

It always does...
(Secretly, I'm honestly praying and sincerely hoping it does...)

Til next time...

Nature Will Take Its Course

Happy Tuesday you guys... =)

I've been so out of the BLOG LOOP for the past few weeks due to the influx of workload am getting at the office! Grabe! The work is just over... But at least, the redeeming factor is that you actually get to see the work in progress... =)

Anyways, during the weekend, I headed on over to Hong Kong for my parents anniversary. We shopped like there was no tomorrow... Or more like, my parents and my sister shopped like there was no tomorrow... I did however pick up some good pieces, and a lot of office wear... So am quite happy and satisfied... I'll upload a few pics when i get home...

I have utang pa of a few restaurant reviews, hopefully i'll get to post it within the week... =)

Til tomorrow. =)
