So… Being an avid reader (probably the main reason I saved up for my iPad, to be honest), I am always open to new sources of books, whether online print media or good old-fashioned paperbacks. One of these new sources is an online bookstore and publishing house called Moarbooks. MoarBooks is an independently run publishing house / bookstore created as a platform for aspiring authors to … Continue reading MoarBooks
So… Today I visited South Salon (located on the Ground Floor of Westgate Tower) with my mom to get my hair treated and cut. One of the things I do not enjoy about studying in Colorado is the weather – specifically, Colorado is a dry climate area, which means my hair and scalp get really dry (especially during the winter time). Marivic, my hair stylist, is always … Continue reading Pamper Session #2: Hair
So… This is the final blog post in the “Packing for a Semester Abroad” series, and will detail the types of shoes I plan on bringing with me for my four-month stay in Europe this Spring semester. It will also contain the accessories/toiletries that will be going in my checked luggage. For this trip I plan on bringing the following shoes: 2 pairs of boots: … Continue reading Packing for a Semester Abroad Part 4: The Shoes and Accessories
So… This is the third blog post in the “Packing for a Semester Abroad” series, and will detail the types of clothes I plan on bringing with me for my four-month stay in Europe this Spring semester. It will be quite a long post, so I apologize in advance for the word vomit and photo explosion! The first thing I did before I began to … Continue reading Packing for a Semester Abroad Part 3: The Clothes
So… Today I visited Nail Tropics with my tita (aunt) Maricelle. One of the things I love mentioning to my friends at Colorado College is the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Philippine peso (which is at 45.10 pesos = 1 USD as of January 20, 2014). I had a difficult time choosing the exact nail polish I wanted to use, so I ended up … Continue reading Pamper Session #1: Nails
So… This is the second blog post in the “Packing for a Semester Abroad” series, and will detail the two handbags I plan on bringing with me during my semester abroad in Europe. One is a large tote bag, and the other is a cross-body purse. I decided on bringing two mainly for convenience: I will be using my tote as my laptop bag, and … Continue reading Packing for a Semester Abroad Part 2: The Handbags
So… This will be the first in a series of packing-for-travel posts on my blog geared towards 1) keeping myself on-track about packing, and 2) helping others who are in my situation (aka packing for a semester abroad in less than 1 week). Since I’m leaving for my semester abroad in Europe in less than a week, I was relieved to find out that my … Continue reading Packing for a Semester Abroad Part 1: The Suitcases
So… Today my mom and I decided to check out the Greenbelts for some clothes shopping. The trip was quite successful, especially with Uniqlo and Cotton On being right beside each other! For lunch we decided to eat at Yabu, the House of Katsu, a Japanese restaurant boasting that they “think of nothing else but creating perfect katsu”. According to their website, the panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) are made … Continue reading Lunch at Yabu
So… Today my family and I had a week-late lunch celebration for my brother Manolo’s birthday. We went to the Last Chukker, an Italian restaurant located in Manila Polo Club. The Last Chukker uses a wood-fired brick oven to bake their pizza (and other starchy delights such as their sliced bread), and since I was feeling pretty chilly I made sure to sit with my back … Continue reading Lunch at the Last Chukker
