CDO Mommy Bloggers Christmas Party

I was actually not planning to attend the party but Jacques keeps on convincing me to attend because we met prior to the party. When we arrive at Mommy Grace house only me, Jacques, Judy and Mommy Emma are the guest. Sadly the others weren't able to join due health and family emergencies.

However, that didn't prevent us to have fun. We had woman-to-woman bonding and chikkas. Jacques and I even got a lovelife encouragements from fellow married mommies.

During exchange gift we also had a blast. It was stated on the CDO Mommy Blogger Christmas Party event page that gift should be something wearable. And that something wearable wrap on my gift is a beaded handbag which mommy Grace now owning it.

Mommy Grace gift was a victoria secret lingerie which was received by mommy Emma. While giving gift mommy Grace exclaimed "Igu jud kaayo na sa imo!" which made us all laugh.

Jacques received Judy's gift which is a bag.

And Judy received the gift from mommy Emma but we exchange gifts because I received Jacques gift of which I already know whats inside. And we already agreed that Jacques and I should not received each others gift coz its no more surprising. Good thing Judy's kind enough to switch gifts, which turns out a perfect swap in the end coz Judy love the pouch bag, bracelet and earrings on Jacques gift.

And I on the other hand received a fantabulous gift from mommy Emma of which Judy said it was indeed a perfect swap coz she doesn't see herself wearing it... :D Mommy Emma fulfilled some stuff Im eyeing to have; the sling bag and a colorful spike bracelet.

See that happy face while revealing my gift? I have longed to own this stuff but didn't really buy it for myself because I just thought its just a product of my fashion addiction that started to grow in me this year. You know the kind that "I want to have this coz its perfect for this outfit/get-up". Lol When I buy I always had that in mind. If I saw stuffs my mind will automatically have a mental check whats in my closet that will go with it. Do you have the same thinking?
Excuse my outfit on that day... I was supposed to go grocery shopping and not to party, the reason I was in my everyday comfort fashion; short and t-shirt and no make up.

Color of the Year for 2013: Emerald Green

I just love this new ring I bought for Jenjacqs and I the other day. The rings design is so nice, for me its all about romance and passion. :D Why? Romance for  the Paris and Eiffel Tower design in it, the most romantic place in the world. And then passion for a photography hobby which I say the camera represent. ^_^ Jacqs had the black and I had the green and a blue (of which I didn't wore here). I actually pick the blue one first because its my favorite color and then I additionally bought the green one because it'll be closely matching to 2013 color of the year... Emerald Green.

Every year, Pantone polls designers and brands about colors they’re featuring to aid in its decision for what hue will tinge the next 12 months. For 2013, the company has bestowed the distinction of Color of the Year on the shade its database identifies as 17-5641: Emerald Green. ~ Read more

iPhone 3GS Wallet Leather Flip Case Cover

After several months of looking I finally gave in and purchase an iPhone 4 4S 3GS Wallet Leather Flip Case Cover on Ebay. The item is sold for US $3.65 and with additional US $0.50 shipping fee here in the Philippines. Since the price is not expensive I ordered one for my iPhone. There are 9 colors available; Black, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Peach, Pink, Mustard and Purple. I've chosen my favorite color blue which was a bad choice for me. Its because after several times using it the leather case catches dirt and dust of which can easily spotted on the blue part. Thats on the inside though the outside cover is in black leather.

My phone fits perfectly on it. Its also handy that it had 3 card pockets but you cant stuff in all 3 cards because it will already bulky and the other card will no longer fit in. Anyway, that's a minor issue what Im after is that a safe cover for my phone coz I tend to be clumsy. What I also like with flip covers is that the front screen is also covered so if accidentally drop I wont worry. As well as I will not worry for scratch on the screen when I place it in my bag.

The Lipstick For Me!

During my fabulous day at the Etude House Centrio Mall opening I have mentioned that I found the perfect lip color for my lips. I was not able to buy it actually because I was in a hurry that time. So when I pass by at Etude House in Mall of Asia, during my Manila escape, I didn't miss the chance to buy a lipstick at Etude House. And my cousin also shop for her own make-ups...

Here's what we shop:

• Look At My Lips  (328.00)
• Sweet Nail Sticker (178.00)
• Dear My Blooming Lips Talk (478.00)
• Dear My Blooming Cheek (548.00)
• Proof 10 Liquid Liner (498.00) 
• Oh-M Eye Lash (Volume & Longlash)(198.00)
• Oh-M Eye Lash (Petticoat)(198.00)

We also received a freebie from our purchase! Since we reached the amount of Php 2000 we got the pink water container and we also received a Pepero in celebration of Pepero Day in Korea.

The lipstick I bought is the Look At My Lips pink and here is how it look...

Me wearing the Look At My Lips pink lipstick without flash...

And here's another picture of me wearing the lipstick with flash.

What I like about the lipstick is that it match perfectly on any make-ups Im wearing. I also like that it easily spread evenly on the lips without using a lip brush. It also last longer. One thing I also worry when buying lipsticks is that I usually have problems with chapped lips after wearing it, good thing with this lipstick so far I haven't experience it.

Rurouni Kenshin For the Second Time

Rurouni Kenishin (Live Action) is way to perfect that everyone cannot just watch it just once. The movie is already a blockbuster on every country and the continuous request for extendedly screening is overflowing.  Thank God Philippines is one of the few countries who are given a chance to watch it the soonest this year and has been given extended showing. Since I know for a fact that there are some countries are still requesting for the movie to be shown on their Cinemas. ^_^

Here in the Philippines, the movie has already been extended twice at SM Cinemas nationwide. A lot others more are wanting to watch it and some others still cant get over with the movie like me. Today was said to be the last day of showing, so I tag along my cousin to watch it again for the last time for me and for the first time for her. :D
We first grab our dinner at Classic Savory SM before watching the movie. Thanks to cousin for the treat! Both my cousin and I are first timers to dine at Classic Savory. Since I already heard about the their specialty of the house which is grilled chicken we ordered a Combo meal for 2. The Combo meal, which can either be good for 1 or 2, is served with 2 drinks a half size grilled chicken, Toron, pancit and Salt & Pepper Squid. I love the Salt & Pepper Squid its to die for... The pancit also has a good taste. And the grilled chicken... well my cousin said it was good and I do agree too, the gravy also taste good but we really have not consume it cause you can eat the chicken without the gravy.
I got curious on the pictures of soups displayed on our table, so I ordered the corn soup which is sold at Php 35.00 as an add-on on your meals. Its my additional fave at Classic Savory I must say.

I originally plan to watch the movie at 3:15 PM schedule but my cousin has some things to do so we ended buying the last full show schedule which is at 9:00 PM. ^_^
And this is how I say goodbye to Rurouni Kenshin... Wish there will be a sequel of this movie and that the DVD copy will be available locally also. Arigato Gozaimasu to Warner Brothers for producing this movie! :)
