Anvaya Cove

Summer is finally over. We didn’t really experience so much heat as it rained most of the days of May. Since the opening of SCTEX (Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway) we went to Anvaya Cove in Bataan several times. It’s a nice place to relax & just get away from the daily grind.

12th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Feb. 7-10, 2008

The 12th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is on Feb. 7-10,2008 in Clarkfield, Pampanga. My kids look forward to this event every year. It has become an annual family event for us. We wake up very early to be able to be at the site by 5:30 am. The balloons fly out early in the morning. Seeing the balloons fly out is a sight to behold. I just love the balloons flying over the horizon while the sun is just rising! It’s just perfect! This year SM CLARK will be open at 8am! This is just perfect since you get so hungry after watching the balloons & waking up so early. There’s really nothing much to do after the fly out of the balloons & not too many restaurant choices that serve breakfast. There will also be free shuttle service from the site to SM Clark which starts at 7:30 am to 12:30 (every hour) & resumes at 2pm every hour on the hour up to 6pm. SM is also a perfect place to cool off because it gets really hot after 8am. You can just come back inside clark for the balloon fly-in at 5:20 pm!

My bag holders/hooksOriginally uploaded by chubbywabiI usually have a problem where to place my bag while in a restaurant. It’s hard to eat when you have your bag on your lap. Found the perfect solution! Good thing someone gave me these cute bag holders/hooks last christmas…. Problem solved!

LOve cult denim

With all the cult denims around it’s really hard to find the perfect pair of jeans. It’s really frustrating not to find that perfect pair! I have to try at least 10 pairs of jeans before I can find the right one. OK …..so not so perfect since I’m small and all the jeans being sold are long ….so I still have to cut those jeans. But hey as long as these jeans make me look thinner….it’s perfect!

I love ROCK & REPUBLIC Jeans. It really fits me well. What’s great about it is that it makes my thighs look slim…..I also love True Religion & Citizens of Humanity. These are my top choices for cult denims.

LV Neverfull

The real thing or a fake?$%$%

On my flight to Singapore…I was seated beside this girl also carrying an LV bag. Take a wild guess…….which is the authentic LV bag & which one is fake? You can hardly spot a fake from the original. There are a lot of fake designer bags that are Grade A or almost like the real thing.

My fave chocolate!

ROYCE’ NAMA Chocolates

Royce’ Nama chocolates from Japan is one of my favorite chocolates in the world. I love the Bitter & Au lait flavors. It really melts in your mouth! I can finish a whole box in one day. This is my once a year indulgence as I can only get it from Singapore, Hongkong or Malaysia and of course Japan. (But hey I’ve never been to Japan). It costs around S$12.80 around PhP 385.00. A bit expensive but not as expenive as Godiva.

It comes with a cool packaging. The box is placed inside an isnulated bag with a cool gel pack.This will keep the chocolates from melting. Perfect “pasalubongs” or gifts for family & friends.
