Honey, I've Met Askmewhats!

in the world of beauty blogging, there are three things i look forward to the most: hauling, makeup application and meetups!

when Nikki (Askmewhats) told me she's coming to Singapore, i really insisted we meetup! (^_^) 

we settled to meet on their last day in Singapore since i'm only free during weekday lunch and that is the day they are available for that time. i promised her Indonesian BBQ treat that hopefully she won't forget. we were giddy exchanging tweets online.

then the day came. i took the morning off just to make sure i spend ample time with her and not rush off if i were to go to work still.



excited me!

i was late for about 15 minutes (i missed the bus so i had to wait another 15 minutes >_< ) but thankfully, she isn't as i was worried because i gave them the wrong floor to meet in Plaza Singapura. good thing they found it and she was even the first one to call on me haha i was that tuliro! and perhaps excited to see her hehe.

we readily greeted and hugged each other and i ushered her and her hubby, Keith, to the inner corner of Kopitiam, where it's much cozier and colder. before getting seated, Nikki readily gave me her gift - aw, uber sweet! i was really shy to give mine because her's is a collection while i only gave one. (>_<) i just really wished she loved it because i thought what i gave her will look nice on her. (^_^) anyway, after that we ordered from Riverside Indonesian BBQ - chicken for me without curry, chicken with curry for Nikki and fish without curry for Keith. when we were done with the main, i introduced Chendol to them, although i don't think it was as a big hit as the Indonesian BBQ was lol. still, i was just so happy to share with them food i like in Singapore. 



love her smile, Miss Universe! thanks Keith for taking our photo! (^_^)

amidst all the talking and eating, it felt like we've already met each other! Nikki's that friendly and warm! not to mention uber pretty and sexy pa! i just adore her! (~_^) i even got to know her hubby who i only get glimpses of in her blog on some short mentions hehe. they're both so chatty, i didn't have time to be uber shy! although i think i still was a bit haha. i think they are a cute couple and very good company indeed. (^_^)

time passed very quickly and it was time to say goodbye - Nikki and Keith need to go back to their hotel and checkout while i had to go back to my work lol. they were very nice to walk with me to the bus stop and wait until i get on in one. it was really hard to part ways but i know this will only be the start of many more meetups with her. and hopefully with more beauty bloggers soon.

another beautiful blogger, inside and out, personified. thanks for including me in your itinerary Nikki! LOL and i enjoyed our meetup and chikahan. til our next date! (^_^)

P.S.
and oh, just look at the generous gifts she showered me!








isn't she the best? love yah sis! (^_^)

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
