It was full of Korean food! I love Korean food! I think everyone loves Korean food!

I’ve been craving kimchi rice for a while now and so, we ordered just that.  I also wanted to try the Army Soup (Buddae Chigae) and we ordered that as well. Knowing that American servings are huge, I can only half a meal with someone else.

This is also the first day I went out with the state of Maryland recommending everyone to use N95 masks. I’m doing my part to help contain the virus and still be able to go around safely.

Everything tasted great! I will go back and eat Kam Ja Tang next!

Restaurant: MANNA inside Lotte Market in Ellicott City.
Price: Around $13 to $19 per meal

I got invited to the launch of a purified water here in the Philippines. With that said, I thought it was just going to be a casual event. But good thing, I felt like dressing up that night because it was the most posh water event I’ve ever been to! How posh you say? Ms. Pia Wurtzbach was their featured guest along with other featured personalities that embodied being the best at something.

The event launched Aquafina, a bottled water brand known all over the world! It has made its way to the Philippines with Pia as the face of their brand. Aquafina is known for its purity and has won consumers around the globe, since it was introduced in the U.S. in 1994. Aquafina expands in the local market, so Filipinos can experience the world’s best-selling bottled water.

Acquafina water is purified using the best technology available to purify water, this process includes reverse osmosis, ozonation and carbon filtration to remove things like chlorides, salts and other substances that can affect the taste of water. With this, you’ll get pure water consistently crisp taste in every bottle, no matter the market, across the globe.

Aquafina hopes to give every individual the inspiration they need to become their best self. No matter how big or small they may seem to be, these successes deserve to be celebrated. This is why Aquafina chose none other than Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach to represent the brand’s philosophy. With an inspiring backstory to her now-stellar career, Pia undeniably emobides what it means to persevere, stand out, and eventually become the best.

Acquafina will soon be available in all leading supermarkets and grocery stores at Php 10.00 for 350mL, Php 15.00 for 500mL and Php 24.00 for 1L.

I created this music thinking of my trip to Maldives. Since I’m allergic to booze, all I can do is find a substitute to it and that is music.

I haven’t done movie reviews in a while. It’s mostly because I have tons to do and it is not my priority. But I miss freestyle blogging so much that tonight, I’m just itching to write!

I will try my best not to spoil the movie, but then again, there’s nothing to spoil really. This is history relived in the cinema. Actually – in one hell of a cinema, the IMAX!

If you want to watch it, I suggest you watch it at IMAX or anywhere with ATMOS. The sound quality will transport you back in time, taking you to the edge of your seat through the entire movie! There aren’t a lot of dialogues in this film, not even shaky chaotic action scenes (referring to Transformers films). All it has is good acting, supported by great cinematography and powerful scoring that will involve you in every scene.

I have been fascinated with World War I and II stories recently. This for a fact that I keep watching History Channel as my default and know now how the world changed because of this. Back in high school, I couldn’t care less. Maybe because I’m a visual person. Seeing the action through documentaries and movies like this, and playing Battlefield made WWI and WWII my favorite subject.

Let’s go back to the film. It is a must-watch, even if you are not a fan of war movies. The scenes, and the way they are filmed and directed will affect your deepest emotions one way or another. This also gives people, who have given up on humanity, a sense of hope. Watch and you’ll see.

Php 700 SRP

This is the first foundation from L’Oreal Makeup Designer/Paris that promises to fight makeup meltdown and stay fresh all day. It lasts for up to 24 hours! With its lightweight formula, it gives flawless, full coverage that conceals visible imperfections and a demi-matte finish with no visible shine.

Let’s put it to the test!

During the L’Oreal event at Valkyrie Club, I went to the makeup station to get myself done. They used Infallible 24hr foundation on me. After that, I joined the 30-minute POUND Rockout Workout to put the foundation to the test. Amazingly enough, it stayed on and even if I wiped my sweat off, you wouldn’t see a lot of foundation on the tissue paper!

Infallible 10hr Lipstick

Php 500 SRP

This lipstick line lasts from morning coffee to evening wine! Say goodbye to makeup fails like fading and flaking. Say hello to the sophisticated, high-impact color that lasts all day. Infused with hydrating vitamin e, this lipstick stays fresh and vibrant for up to 10 hours without feeling tacky or dry I tried it myself and it absolutely works, even if I brush my teeth, eat, and drink water from a bottle.

The application is pretty smooth as the creamy formula glides easily on the lips. It looks glossy at first application but sets with a demi-matte finish.

Infallible 10hr lipstick comes in an expansive range of 20 shades from subdued nudes, to vibrant reds and pinks, to bold and deep hues.  They are available at L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for Php 500 SRP.

Let’s put it to the test!

I prepared to leave for work at around 9:30 am. I put on the infallible 10hr lipstick and I realized that I haven’t brushed my teeth yet! Oops! So I decided to put it to a test and brushed my teeth with the lipstick on. I am amazed that it stayed there and through the rest of the day! I went to L’Oreal’s event in Valkyrie by late afternoon and it was still great!

Infallible Pro-Matte 16hr Powder

Php 600 SRP

This powder goes very well with the 24hr foundation! Complete the look with this long-wearing, shine-defying powder and create a perfectly matte finish without looking flat or cakey. It absorbs excess oil and reduces shine on the skin’s surface for up to 16 hours. This lightweight pressed powder can be used alone, to set foundation after application, or throughout the day for quick touch-ups.

Infallible Pro-Matte 16hr Powder is available in 6 shades at L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for Php 600 SRP.

Combining two famous names to form a totally new name or a hybrid became a craze very recently. Celebrity names like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie formed a popular tandem, “Brangelina”. A scrumptious combination of croissant and donuts became the hybrid that is “cronuts”. Corndog has been around for quite some time now but that name was also borne out of marrying two delicious snack favorites, that which are CORN and HOTDOG. These new terms just prove that when you combine two good things, something even more surprisingly wonderful comes out of it.

Mister Donut, known for its Bavarian flavored donuts with the right sweetness or “tamang-tamang tamis” as we say it in Filipino, pushed its product innovation further through the Bavarian Doubles with 2 fillings! Yes, 2 famous all-time favorite flavors in one uniquely delightful treat in the newest addition to the Bavarian Doubles line. Mister Donut combined Mango and Pastillas to create the truly original and delectable Bavarian Doubles “Mangostillas”!

This new name was coined through a fun and cute way by the brand’s lovable talents in its latest TV Commercial. The young twins featured are seen enjoying the new variant brought home by their mom as a more than pleasant surprise. Another brilliant union of fillings is the Bavarian Doubles “Chocoyema”, which combines Choco Fudge and Yema. The more famous Bavarian Doubles and one that already has a strong following among the Mister Donut customers is Chocolate and Bavarian, now called Chocovarian! As shown through the joy and excitement of the twins in the commercial, the shared moment between the kids and their mom becomes even more special and cherished.

Catch these surprisingly new flavor combinations at the nearest Mister Donut, and share the moments “na punong-puno ng fillings.”

Wingstop has been in the country since last year and Wingstop fans have loved the 10 unque flavors they offer that consist of spicy, sweet, and savory variations. I was very happy to have tasted 10 of these, plus more, I will tell you about it in a bit!

   by  Flair Candy 

Wingstop has become popular in Asia, and with this, they now offer new flavors, where East Meets Flavor.

These are never tasted before flavors such as Korean Soy, Spicy Soy, Honey Garlic and Honey Barbeque. Wingstop gives a not at Asian cuisine, infusing the bold flavors of soy and garlic into the comforting tastes of honey and barbeque.

I personally love the Spicy Soy – but it’s super spicy you need rice or potatoes to deal with it! I also loved the Garlic Soy, both sweet and a little salty at the same time. Which flavor do you like?
