What I Want to Receive for my Birthday

Just in case a genie passes by and ask me three things I'd like to have for my birthday (which will be this Saturday), I'm gonna save his time as I already have an idea in mind. Here are they:

1. A Samsung smart camera- my fantasy for Samsung Galaxy Camera vanished after seeing this smart camera. It's the NX 1000 model which has a built-in wifi and mirror-less interchangeable lens. In US, it usually costs around $600. But if you will browse Samsung's website, it's on sale for $349.99. That would be more than 15,000 pesos here in the Philippines.

2. An authentic Cath Kidston bag- Lace and florals. That's what I think about this European brand. This autumn-inspired design that we have here is around 50 British pounds, more or less 3,000 pesos in Philippine money. There are too many class A versions of this bag but still, nothing beats an original and it's easy to spot a fake. Just look at the label. It should not be crinkled.

3. and my ultimate wish, a super pink closet like this. I like that it has many compartments. And there are drawers as well. I would like to have this kind of closet someday. And if my husband won't mind about our closet in full feminine color then I'll love him with all my heart. Hehe! 

We love simply bread

Last week, Jhe and I came across a newly-opened Simply Bread branch along Cubao. He tried the all-veggie bread which looks like a square pizza while I tried the all-meat flavor. While we were on the counter, the chocolate mousse caught my attention. It was mouth-watering. I bought it, not mentioning that we also bought a huge garlic bread after eating those pizzas. Jhe loved the food as much as I do. It was the first time we ate at Simply Bread and the we simply liked it!

 Yesterday, Jhe came home with these boxes of yummy treats from the bread shop. My lola was happy with it. She likes the ensaymada. As far as I can remember, this one is around 90 pesos.

 Jhe also gave us a cake by Chef Andrew. Who's Chef Andrew? By the way, the cake arrived too early for my birthday, which will be this week. Yey, I'm excited! I bet my guy will be giving me a cake from Dairy Queen, as highly requested.

And this is the cake roll which is more than a hundred peso I guess. It's less than 200 pesos. Affordable right? The cake tastes great as well. Go ahead and try. Much love here for Simply Bread. P.S. your breads and cakes do not look so simple. They look so yummy!

We "just learn to love again"

I personally like Pink's "Just Give Me A Reason". You might be thinking that I can relate to the song. Yes, I honestly do. The song is about learning to love again and holding on into a relationship despite all the fights and misunderstandings. And that's what every couple should put into mind.

This is me with Jhe. We've been together for more than two years now. We are like cats and dogs, our friends know that. But see, we're still together! Maybe we are not yet grown-ups, maybe our zodiac signs are not compatible, maybe we are not-so-meant-for-each-other. But we don't care. I know I am still in love and it's still him I want to grow old with. And that "reason" is enough to keep the fire burning!

Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Silk Cake Powder

Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brands. I started with Clear Smooth Extra, then shifted to Clear Smooth all in one. This time, I decided to try the BB Silk Cake Powder. It costs around 300 pesos in Watson's. Let me share to you my simple review on this foundation.

Pro: Price is not so cheap. If you are looking for foundations with medium to heavy coverage, this one is a good buy. You don't have to retouch every so often and it's not powdery or cakey at all. 

Pro: It comes with a cute, girly packaging. I like the mirror-like casing of this BB Silk Cake Powder.

Con: I am not sure if I got the correct shade. Maybe I should have picked a darker shade. This one is 03 Natural. Is there a shade darker than this? Sorry, I was in a hurry when I bought it.

Pro: The sponge has its compartment, which I like as it looks hygienic.If I would rate this, it's gonna be 4 out of 5. Will buy again? Yes.
