I Love Lugang! -- Best Beef Noodles in Manila

Been meaning to try out Lugang for months but parking was just ridiculous! *Grrrhhh*
So yesterday, we were in the area so I thought we'd eat at Lugang if there's parking. Well there was, and very pleased did we park across the road.

I'm not a Xiao Long Bao fan, so I can't say much about this. BUT, their Beef Noodles were to die for!!! Never mind that it just had thin slivers of meat. The soup and the mian xian was super satisfying, I almost forgot about my order!!! I attempted to order something healthy, but satisfying, so I ordered this Tofu with Shredded Pork. Ordered extra rice. Finished it.

Will brave the parking for Lugang again.

For the quality, not pricey at all! Lugang is located at: 116 Connecticut St. Northeast Greenhills.

Shiok - - Cheap Thrills

Shiok - costing very little in Chinese

Picked up Roxanne on our way to Mercato, but its closed!!! *grrrhhh* Someone told me its open the whole day on Saturdays! He was just there last night so I took his word!

I loved the Kailan Veggies, the not so hainanese chicken. I didn't like their chinese version of Lechon Kawali and the fish ball noodles -- which is their version of Laksa. This is the 5th time I tried the char kue tiao and its so far so good. Would probably come back for that and that alone.

I Love Manila

Not to be insensitive with the tsunami / nuclear incident in Japan.

School Bus situation in Japan:

Thank you Lord for wonderful Manila. So grateful to be here.

Prayers go to the victims of the Japan Tsunami.

I Love Banana Leaf's Curry Clams!

Back when Paulo and I were just "malling', our favorite mall was Robinson's Ermita. So just for kicks, we went there for lunch last Sunday. We couldn't decide what to eat. That and it took him forever to decide. So I said let's try Banana Leaf - the promo with HSBC is still running. *yayyy!*

I never had curry clams. It just sounds so ordinary but the table beside us really knew what to order. They had prawns, soup, many types of protein. Siyempre we ordered chicken curry. But we agreed to try something new and its so delicious. ... So yummy I'm getting hungry again.

Piadina - Solaris One

So Lisa and I decided to have a late lunch last month (haha!) and we decided to try Piadina at Solaris One -- right along dela Rosa St. I was actually craving for something creamy. Something gooey like Carbonara. But i lovePiadina's Fried Mozarella. They don't serve it the way they used to, drizzling it with anchovies -- years ago. But this value meal hits the spot. I think its PHP 210.00. I just cant remember if it includes taxes already.

tumblr

It will be crazy to manage 2 blogs. I, however would like to try tumblr. I think its an easier way to post pictures and get connected. We'll see.

Christmas Tree

We finally took down the 2 Christmas trees I made for our team last Christmas.

Toms

Planning a budget trip to Beijing in 3 weeks. Trying to figure out the lightest, most comfortable and versatile outfits for 10 days. I'm considering getting a pair of glittered Toms.

.. dreaming of a place to dream

My boyfriend's moving to a bigger room. The challenge is to fix it up asap for the least amount of money. If I had a chance, I too wouldn't know where or how to start. I know I want a loooooot of natural light. A girl can dream right? What's your dream bedroom like? ^_ ^

Shoes 2011

I must get something that looks like Nicky Hilton's boots. The black FCUK straps and the Suede Nude Marni seems to be everywhere, but I cant find the perfect fit. Sigh~! Finding Acne Wedges in Asia would be a gift from the shopping fairy.

Teva + Socks + Climb = Wrong

I can totally wear this with jeans. Or shorts. To the mall.

The Town

Aside from Ben Affleck's almost perfectly chiseled face, seeing his soft side in an action film was a true delight! ... then I found out he directed it.

The plot familiar but the scenes were fresh. The "good-bad guy" really emanicpated him from his former boy next door roles.

Jon Hamm was very very sexy in this movie. Jeremy Renner really wanted the viewers to despise him in such a way where we didn't really feel sorry for his death. I plan to watch this movie again. Ben Affleck was just so guwapo, you'd be glad he got away in the end.

Here's to 2011!

2010 was good, but I have a funny feeling 2011 will be better!
So many blessings I haven't shared to the world.
I plan to write more this year.

Well I wrote more last year than I did the year before,
I had an awesome pink camera that wouldn't cooperate sometimes. :(

Maybe because I didn't know how to set it right. But its gone. *snif*

So look what Paulo got me for Christmas!!! *yayyy!*
I've never had a black camera. It looks so manly. But the pictures are awesome!

We updated it a bit so the touch screen won't be so slow, but it's still quite slow.

Will post more in the days to come! :)

Raving in Wonderland

Although, I won't consider it a "rave", I have actually been looking forward to dressing up this Halloween!


I'm familiar with some of Ronski Speed's music, so I hope that Binary Finary would be just as good.

So even if we already sorta kinda have costumes already, I'm thinking if I should stick to the theme.



.... *yaaaawn~***

Thank you, Whitney!

I'm not a fan of mid heels. I think it takes a very, very slim person to look long in these. I notice Whitney Port has been wearing these Loeffler Randall Cut Out Booties.

It's not so pointy. The heels. The style in general is not what I would normally fancy.

Please have a closer look. www.loefflerrandall.com ($ 575.00US)

So I found these at Aldo Marquee Mall Branch in Pampanga and only for P1200.00! ($ 27.00)
I'm not super happy about the T-Strap, but it works! And super comfy too! *yayyy!*


Its not exactly the same, but the strip of garter adds character to my outfit. Doesn't look like black leather school shoes. I tried Whitney's ensemble, but no pictures. For the price and comfort, I love it! ^_^

Hot or Cold?

Should I attempt to be calm?


Or should I arrange my clutter in way that won't hinder the fire inside me?




I don't know how or when, but soon. Very soon.
