PLANNER

I don't normally spend my money for myself. I also don't mind wearing clothes from bazaar or ukay-ukay and  I also don't buy expensive gadgets.

DIVISORIA

Since it's the week end, I decided to wear something different. 

We went to Divisoria to start our Christmas shopping. 

If you're planning to go to Divisoria, you can either ride a jeepney or a bus from Manila to Divisoria or bring your car and park it in Lucky China Town Mall.

or if you want to buy Herbal items, medicines, gadgets, jewelries, etc. go to Sta Cruz. It's a pedicab away from Divisoria. (or try to ride a Kalesa)

 I bought some sunnies for only Php 40.00 each(whole sale price) which costs Php200-300 in bazaars 

and some kiddie items for only Php 35-100 each. which costs (Php 150-300 each in the big malls)

It's a place where you can bargain and haggle. 

I recommend going to Divisoria during weekdays since its less crowded.

My look:

Street Wear

over sized top from my last Hong Kong trip (Mongkok)

rugged shorts from Zara

Top-sider kicks

black canvas bag (It's actually a grocery bag)

Old Handkerchief (Hair accessory)

Red leather arm candy from NBC Tent Bazaar

In fashion, you only need to learn how to mix and match and there's nothing wrong with that.

Va Bene

Va Bene Pasta Deli is one of my favorite italian restaurants; 

 located at 2F Petron Station, Pasay Road

Cuisine: Italian

Must Try: 
Buffalo Mozzarella Salad
Truffle Pasta
Fresh Fruit Juice

CERVESERIA and LE PETITE CAMILLE

We were supposed to go to Tagaytay but since we don't have enough time, we've decided to stay in Manila and try some restaurants in Makati.

CERVESERIA in GREENBELT, MAKATI

The ambiance is good.

 I love the curtains, wooden chairs and table arrangement

Just like the chandelier in my room

For privacy, they used bookshelf

............................................

For starters,we ordered Nacho de Queso con Salsa (Nachos with Salsa and Pecorino cheese)

Ensalada de queso pecorino (Pecorino cheese, cashew nuts, mixed greens and roasted grapes)

My newest favorite salad 

Jambon (Hamon Serrano)

Classic and Lychee Mojito

THEIR MOJITO IS A MUST TRY!!!!

We didnt get to try their main course coz my mom also wanted to try the Vietnamese restaurant on the other side of the mall.

FOOD ADVENTURE NO. 2 : LE PETITE CAMILLE

Hello Yellow :) Sunshiny bright color

Oh... the lights... they're so bright

.......................................................................

My mom ordered her favorite Chicken Pho (It's so tasty)

I had fresh vegetarian spring rolls (8pcs, big serving. It's actually good for 2)

Fresh Veggies !!!!

Since Miko can't eat oily food, seafood, etc. due to his medical condition,

he tried the vietnamese style pork bbq.
