Wedding Detail: My Wedding Shoes

Wedding shoes – probably one of the details most of the brides are excited to plan. Well, probably not me- I am not really a shoe person – more of a bag person. I had a hard time picking the right shoes for me – it wasn’t really my thing. I had a few brands in my list but instead of choosing the “red sole” (Christian Louboutin), Stella Luna or Jimmy Choo, I chose TOMS to be my wedding shoes. Three reasons are:

1. They are very comfy and I’m sure I can last wearing wedges (but I love how loub’s stilettos are designed)

2. I’ve been wanting to own Toms. Yeah, my first time to get myself a pair of Toms. But after this purchase, I’m thinking of getting a second pair because…

3. Personally, I love the idea of donating a pair of shoes for every purchase of Toms. This idea has touched me because aside from myself owning a new pair of shoes, a child can also own a pair of shoes at the same time.

I was quite surprised with how the shoes are packaged. It came with a sticker and a shoe pouch. I was actually delighted – congratulations to Toms’ Marketing Team! Happy bride here! Here comes my Toms package!

It's a Girl!

Finally after 30 weeks, Lester and I are happy to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! It took that long because we’re the kind of couple who’s obedient to the OB- have ultrasound when needed. Last time we checked, the OB did not confirm Little Javier’s gender though she told us that this little one is most likely a baby girl. Lester was still positive to have a baby boy- he still has 40-30% chance. But hey, it doesn’t matter- after all, we can still make another one :). It must be the genes- my mom gave birth to 5 children- 4 of us are girls and our youngest is a boy (can you just imagine how Little C feels when he’s at home?). Lester was already dreaming of playing with his little one, teaching how to play PS, bike and all those boy stuff while I was already imagining cooking, baking and doing girly stuff with our little Javier- and I won! I remember when I was still on my first and second trimester, I was so into little things for girls that when I go to the mall’...

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it. This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :) Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...

Cooking Fever: Gising-Gising

I cooked this once for my husband to satisfy his spicy taste. I first tried this in Recipes and found it yummy. :) Ingredients: Garlic, chopped Onions (Red), chopped Baguio beans, chopped into pieces Ground Pork Red Chili Pepper, chopped Green Chili Peppers (Siling haba) Coconut milk Salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste 1. Saute onions and garlic. Add the ground pork. 2. Add a little bit of soy sauce to taste. 3. Once the pork is cooked, add Coconut Milk. For this recipe, I used the instant ones (just add water!) but I think it'll taste better if you use those you can buy from the market. 4. Add Baguio beans (not string beans!) and all the chilis - depending on your taste. I used less red ones but separated my share because I'm not really into spicy food (except sisig!) 5. Put salt and pepper to taste 6. Serve This is my first blog to write about recipes so please pardon my instructions. I really do not know...
