Breakfast Is Love

I love all meals of the day: breakfast, lunch, dinner---and all other extra meals in between. But there's something about breakfast that just gets me all excited and shhht! 

Well, this morning, I woke up extra early and tried to get my rusty kitchen skills (if they ever existed) into play and whipped up a gastronomical breakfast for me and Horace: sunny-side-up eggs, tuna flakes in oil cooked with onions, danggit (it's a type of fish that's popular here in Cebu, and it has been sun-dried). Oh, onions. I love the smell of onions.

Forgive me, gall bladder, for I have sinned.

I know the sides of the eggs are a bit overcooked, but that's just the way I like 'em! :) I am not supposed to eat oily food anymore, but hey, just this once can't hurt, right? RIIIIIGHT?! :p 

What did you have for breakfast today? :)

A Hansonified Party

Marianne, who turned 27 last June 11, delighted us with a Hanson-themed party at her house somewhere in the city of Mandaue, Cebu. I wish I had more words for the fun I had that night, but I am too overwhelmed to dig my gray matter up for more adjectives.

I arrived late (gracefully) because the stupid taxi driver had the cab going around in circles. I had been to her place once, during that Hanson weekend, but I could no longer remember where it exactly was due to the fact that I was groggy all the while. I finally got off the cab and took a trisikad. Mel and Eunice met me at the intersection because I was clueless as to where I was headed.

We had barbecue and hamonada and grilled fish and soda and candies and stuff. But the highlight of the party? The Hanson-themed cake and cupcakes. Overly cute, I tell you.

Cutest cake evarrr!

It took us quite a while to finally eat the cake! It was too beautiful to touch, let alone eat!

Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner : A Review

Stiff, dry, dull, brittle---that's how my hair is without conditioner. I have grown accustomed to using hair conditioners after each shampoo. Actually, I have been advised to not shampoo every day (twice or thrice a week, perhaps), but I can't help it. I just feel that something is missing if I don't shampoo.

Over the last 8-9 years, I have used Cream Silk (pink, and then green) as my main hair conditioner. No matter what shampoo I used, I always conditioned with Cream Silk. Just recently, my friend Mayzette (again) introduced me to Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner. She endorsed the pink one, claiming that it smelled really good.

I purchased a small tube of Dove Intensive Repair conditioner and paired it with my usual L'oreal Total Repair 5 shampoo, the one in orange---for frizzy hair. The first time I used it, I had found myself to be totally sold. The scent was beautiful---not too stingy nor too (for lack of a better word) stale. I then decided to try their shampoo, and it worked wonderfully with my hair as well. Unlike other shampoos, Dove Intensive Repair makes hair really soft, like the shampoo has been mixed with conditioner already! 

Works wonders, I tell you!

Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner has been formulated with micro-moisture serum and fiber actives. It gives hair superior moisturization and internal repair. This tandem also reduces split ends up to 9 times in just 3 washes.

I love Dove because it is great for everyday use and for people like me who have chemically treated hair.

With my old conditioner, the softness lasts for about half the day and the scent goes away fast. With Dove, you can totally feel your hair in all its soft and bouncing glory the whole day! Even when I wake up in the morning, I can still feel the softness. I had my sister-in-law try it, and she immediately fell in love.

Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner are available in supermarkets nationwide. The 180 ml shampoo bottle costs approximately Php120.00 and the conditioner is sold for around Php110.00 (also 180ml). Go grab one today!

Wacoal: Body Beautiful at Any Age

I gave birth at a relatively young age: 21. At this age, one would not imagine to have real physical problems. While I was never the slim type, I neither was the type who needed help with "hiding" bulky body parts. But yes, pregnancy and motherhood did take its toll on me---like most women who have gotten pregnant and given birth.

That bump.
