I'm Hotter Than You

I watched Eclipse over the weekend, and surprisingly, I liked it. I thought I will not enjoy it without drinking some alcoholic beverage before watching it (BFF and I did that hahaha), but yeah, I liked it. I liked Jacob a lot.

The "I'm hotter than you" comment he made was an interesting one hahaha. I still LOVE Edward though.

As usual I ordered my Chipotle burritos in the Taqueria and Big Chill's Supercharger. After that my sister and I checked out clothes and shoes, hehehe.

Anyways, I can't wait for the last Twilight installment. But first of course is the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Must watch! Funny though, the interesting stories now are about vampires and immortals... are people secretly wishing for these lives? Hahaha. Kidding.

Paseo Uno's Luxury Buffet

At long last, after my day at Forever 21, I finally got to haul my ass to Paseo Uno and try their luxury buffet (hello, foie gras!). I was very excited since it's been a while since I last had buffet in a hotel (last one was in Escolta in Manila Pen). And it's been a looong time since I ate foie gras too, so this was really a nice treat for the harassed me (yes, I was harassed by certain people, ulk.). Unfortunately, I was too distracted by the events that happened that I did not get to enjoy the buffet too much. I was very sad at the thought but I couldn't eat because of a very bugging case (and it's not about whether I should buy pronexin or not because I seriously don't need that).

Anyway, here are some pictures I took.

Prime Rib and Foie Gras with balsamic glaze and onions marmalade

Seafood galore: huge prawns, lobsters, king crab

So sad they didn't have fresh oysters. But how fresh can the tuna sashimi get with this!

Again, I didn't get to enjoy much as I'd want to. I hardly ate. But it wasn't Paseo Uno's fault. They have a wonderful selection. It's just me having a very bothersome issue (never mind the details). I had high blood after. Not the psychological high blood ha, this is the real medical high-blood. I stopped eating because I could no longer swallow, my face is red and numb too.

Oh well, next time I guess I'll come back. No need for the luxury buffet (since I got to eat 5 pieces anyway, that's enough for a year!). And next time, I promise to enjoy it big-time with my husband.

Forever 21 Opening

I went to the opening of Forever 21 last Friday, thinking that it will not be too much of a crowd since it's work-day and school-day. Boy I was dead wrong...

I arrived at Megamall at around 9:30 am (thanks to a twitter post about Mega opening at 9:30 am instead of 10) only to be greeted by a very loooonnnggggg snaking line at the side of the store. My goodness it was crazy!

This was the line when it was slowly moving already.

Would you believe I still braved all this? Hahahaha.

Once inside, there was so much beautiful and interesting clothes and accessories, I got dizzy. I couldn't choose which too get. Too many good stuff! The number of people inside didn't help either.

I recovered after some time, and finally I just gave in and said, "what the heck, I should make this trip all worth it." I went ahead and got a lot of stuff.

Too bad, the lines in the fitting rooms are a bitch (you need the best wrinkle cream to combat the wrinkles that may form after this haha).

I waited for about an hour before I could finally fit the stuff I got. But hello... they said they have more than 30 fitting rooms. My goodness!

I checked out some more stuff since I already know my size. Then when it was time to pay, I was greeted with this...

Yup that was the cashier line. Mind you, they have 2 counters with about 4-5 cashiers per counter. Craziness! It took me an hour or more just to pay my stuff.

However, after all these, I'm still glad I went. I love the things I bought, especially the bags I got. I'll go back there one of these days and hopefully the other bag I originally wanted will still be available!

All I can say is, thank you SM for bringing in Forever 21!

Why is There No Zara Home Here?

I just hope there will be Zara Home here, because I am seriously loving these home accessories!

Markus Tray - £69.99 (I love the name! I wanted that as my future son's name heheh)

Check out the frames!

I love their boxes and cases too...

And these are just for the living room! There's just so much more (I just hope they have a really nice selection of tv stands in the future). I hope they come to the Philippines soon!

Ikea Liatorp Dining Table

I am kinda feeling this Liatorp table by Ikea...

This table can seat 4 people. But you can extend it to seat 6!

The price tag is $250+. Puede, right?

Feel ko talaga!

Cheaper alternative is the Bjursta table:

It can also seat 4-6 people...

Which is nicer?

Quest for Vintage Earrings

I went to Megamall the other day to check out... guess what... JEWELRY! For some reason, I am into those vintage-looking slightly chunky earrings.

Blame it on the Vintage Givenchy earrings I saw at Cru in Powerplant the other day. I almost got it, but its main flaw was that they were clip-on earrings. I cannot, for the love of me, cannot wear them no matter how much I tried to set aside the extreme pain I felt while wearing them. I'm not used to wearing jewelry, what more these chunky clip-ons! So anyways, I went to Megamall to look for similar-looking earrings. I really got close to buying these vintage-looking earrings with certified diamonds. But I had to hold back because it's not cheap, you know. And if ever, I need dear hubby's card to avail of the 0% interest for 12 months payment scheme. Tehehehe.
