I accidentally made our couple logo last year while playing around with Photoshop. Looking at it, it gave me an idea that we can use it as part of our wedding invitation or souvenir. However, I find it too simple. So I decided to make endless drafts on random sheets of paper. My fiance is quite okay with the design I suggested. But he had a better idea. 'Why not make an ambigram of our names?' he said. Great idea! By the way, what is an Ambigram? As stated in Wikipedia... An ambigram is a word, art form or other...

Men will never understand why women want to have that one perfect gown for her big day. Oh well, MOST MEN. Specially those guys that are too FRUGAL (please include my fiance here) and doesn't want to spend too much on a piece of cloth that can only be worn once. For your info, we all know that. It's just that, we want to be the prettiest on that day. EVEN FOR A DAY. I was never that kind of girl. I'm boyish and people around me call me a 'cowboy'. I'm artsy but I can't even perfect...

I know. Men are not that interested in planning a wedding as much a women. It's rare for a man to willingly join their better-halves in attending food tastings, wedding fairs and the like. And my fiance is one of them.  I've been asking him to go with me to bridal fairs and food tasting events but he would always refuse because the venue will always be too far for him. In short, he's too lazy to attend the event. Whenever he does that, I would stop planning our wedding. But because I really want to make my...

Our third and tenth promise rings. Yes, no engagement rings and that's OKAY. Oh yes! I'm reviving this blog to make way for my wedding preparations. It's still 89 weeks away but we have to prepare as early as now for the event (the truth is, I've been scouring the net since last year with possible suppliers, researching themes and wedding ideas, and formulating do-it-yourself projects). We've been together for more than a decade. And people around us have been teasing us over the years to tie the knot. So why do we have to wait for another two...

I only see Takeru Sato, Emi Takei and Aoki Munetaka on television and on magazine. So seeing them in the flesh is a dream come true for a Japanese pop culture enthusiast like me. It was surreal. Dreamlike. I could not even explain how I felt on that moment. I’ll be honest. I’m not so much of a fan of the manga Samurai X. However, when it was announced that Amuse actor Takeru Sato will play Kenshin Himura, my heart fluttered like a butterfly and were so excited to see it on screen. Well, that’s if it will...

Just when I thought that I will not be able to watch Korean Girl Group, 2NE1’s 5th anniversary and All or Nothing concert, I was absolutely wrong. For the second time, I was able to secure a ticket with good seat, few hours before the concert. Yatta! My first plan was to just buy the regular priced lowerbox VIP ticket. But I don’t have enough money when they started ticket sales. As weeks passed, the seats I was eyeing disappeared one by one. I’m a fangirl but I don’t want to spend too much money on a seat...

I do not have any plans to have a summer getaway this year because I had to attend a Korean concert and I’ll have my Hong Kong vacation this year. But with the rising temperature everyday, we really need a dip in the water. Noah’s Leisure Park and Hotel (or more commonly known as Noah's Park) is currently owned by a Doctor and strategically situated in a private-owned land in Rodriguez, Rizal. It’s just beside Avilon Zoo and a 45-minute travel from Quezon City. Very accessible as you can just ride or rent a jeep. I’ve already read a lot of...

Just when I thought I would not see Lee Min Ho this year, I was wrong. For the third time, one of Korea’s hottest superstar Lee Min Ho once again visited Manila last March 21-23 for another meet and greet with his Filipino fans. The stage is ready! I was lucky to watch his first fun meet held last November 2012. It was a success so his management and Bench held another even last 2013 – the My Everything World Tour, where he danced and serenaded the Pinoy Minoz. And because we are so close to his heart, he was here again for another...

Do you still remember the family bears? Father bear, mother bear and their baby bear? I bet you all still remember them specially how Song Hye Kyo a.k.a Jessie and Rain a.k.a Justin took us by storm with the Korean romantic-comedy drama Full House. The series was a hit that we even had our own version (but I’m not gonna blog on that because it’s forgettable). Thanks to a fellow fangirl who recommended me the Full House Thai version (Yes! you heard it right! There is a Thai remake of the series) and I’m unto my last episode tonight. ...

Everybody knows that Vikings, a huge buffet restaurant that offers dishes from around the globe, that they have this free dine-in promo for those who are celebrating their birthday. Oh well! The original plan was to avail the promo last June 2013 at SM Mall of Asia. for my birthday. But shujin ruined everything on my day even making me cry. So I promised starting that day, that I will never celebrate my birthday with him. Okay. Going back, it's now his turn to finally get a taste of Vikings' sumptuous meals. We visited their SM North branch instead because it's nearer....

The first time I saw Toast Box in Taguig, it already brought me interest. I'm always on a food hunt and I'm willing to try any dishes as long as it's not exotic and not made of blood. I googled the shop and found out that they are offering delicacies from Singapore such as Hainanese chicken, Nasi Lemak, toast set etc. The food reviews are so inviting so I immediately scheduled a day to visit the shop. It was on Friday afternoon before heading to work that my feet dragged me at Toast Box Trinoma branch. This branch is quite small and...
