Addiction

When do you consider something an addiction? Addiction as defined by Merriam-Webster is to devote or surrender oneself to something habitually.

So do you consider yourself addicted to Starbucks if you can't resist the urge almost everyday to visit the coffee shop and spend your hard earned money over their drinks? Even when it's almost closing time? Seriously, we have to submit ourselves to Starbucks-buying-ban soon! I was just blogging about saying NO to it and here we are again, enjoying our sinfully good treats from Starbucks. Again, how can we be a millionaire (refer to previous postings) if we keep on spending over their coffees? Anyways, I am not addicted to it, its hubby but whenever he asks me to drop by at Starbucks, I at first say no but when we are already there, I see myself ordering as well. :( Talk about self control. Each time i say its enough, he would tell me that he just want to enjoy the time that we can spend a day/night normally and do a little celebration. I am not a coffee drinker and yet can’t resist gourmet coffees hehehe. But I go for tea blends.

Pictured below are sinfully good Hot White Choco Mocha, Strawberries and Crème Frappe and a Mocha Waffle.



On our less than an hour stay in SM, I was able to buy some hair treatments. For a non rebonded hair like mine, my hair can really get so frizzy on bad days. It sucks. My hair can look rebonded after a cellophane treatment which is advisable to be done every month but would it be wise to spend P2,500 each month for that? Of course not. That’s about P30,000 in a year you can spend it instead over a retirement pay. So other than opting once in a while for an organic treatment of honey and olive oil (which is kinda messy) I decided to try other easy to use home treatments. Seen below is a one minute milk hot oil treatment. It smells so sweet, like a powdered milk but I still don’t know if its good. I also bought 2 trial packs of Yogurt treatment wax in strawberry flavor. It says it can tame frizzy hair, lets see. I hope they are effective salon treatments at home. I will post reviews once I’ve tried them on.



Talk about addiction, I used to be addicted to buying rubber shoes. But I was able to control it now. Just recently, I have blogged about the nice wedges that I have been looking for. I found one that fits me so well but…. there seems to be a problem, one shoe is bigger. There must have been a problem when they packed it because seriously the other one is a size bigger. So they are not really a pair. Too bad that I really like them that I cannot let it pass again. But how the hell would I wear a pair that is not really a pair? So I opted for the next size. I bought the wedge one size bigger than my regular and they seriously are big for me. When I tried them on, it’s not really comfortable when walking so I decided to remedy it with 2 corks each shoe instead. Hehehe.

See although I don’t like Shaina, I love her wedge here:



I’ve got the same one just like Shaina! I love them. I can see myself maturing (in terms of shoe preference only) already, because I am fascinated with girly shoes nowadays.



This is so OT. I was watching American Idol’s Top 4 earlier and I can see Jason Castro saying goodbye this week. He is still my favorite but I don’t see him in the top 3 spot anymore. I hope he survived this week but its either him or Syesha. He did not get a very good review from the 3 idol judges. I am just so sad. He did not exert extra effort. He sings well but not very competitive. Sad Sad Sad.



Hafta end this now.

Wedge, anyone?

I've been too busy with work. As in! In between work, I have been surfing on different wedge shoes and on where to possibly order online. Let me post these wedges that I really so adore.






The first one is a Mango wedge which I saw last year on Mango shops. Too bad that even in Manila, I dont have their size and I do not see it displayed in their shops nowadays. :(

I forgot the second one's brand. The third one is a Gucci and the last one comes from the Jessica Simpson's shoe collection.

So let your look and style sizzle with this hottest shoes of the year. Wedges were reintroduced and can be seen everywhere worn not only by stars but every girls who want to look chic and yet comfortable. Design ranges from casual to elegant and can be worn on every possible outfit. They are extremely fashionable. So make sure to consider them on your next shopping trip. :)

Pictures Galore Part 2

I had a little RNR (rest and relaxation) last weekend and took some pictures which I would like to document in my blog. Eventhough I love reading ( to the point where it takes me time to take a bath because I read every magazines in the bathroom and even read the instructions at the back of my shampoo) I am more attracted to blogs and reading materials with pictures. This is the reason why I would often associate a posting with a picture to keep it more interesting.

These two pictures below have nice catchy names:

Claw daddy with real big claws on the resto's entrance


Meet my feet- a super nice name. Who would want to meet my feet? (heheheh yuck!)

Other pictures below have alternative meanings

Nach-o-fast = Not so fast


Landi & Nuti= really I never thought that there is a shoe name such as landi and naughty (it makes me think that when you buy their shoes means your kinda promiscuous)


Rest toe Run= this shoe store has a very refreshing concept. Imagine there are table set ups, likened to a fine dining and you'll see shoes displayed on plates. cool!


When you do RNR, of course food would always be the highlight of the event. Finally, after long months I was able to eat my favorite Crunchwrap from Taco bell. Previously, you can only grab this when you are on St Luke's area. I wish it would be available here in Pampanga. I had the crunchwrap and tried the cheesy fiesta potato for the first time. It was so good. It obviously has a cheese and a sour cream.

Crunchwrap and potatoes




Hubby on the other hand had a Big Brother's burger and onion rings.


I've previously posted the nurse like clothing from Louis Vuitton by Richard Prince. See this one worn by Naomi Campbell. I think it was nice of LV to feature Marc Jacobs and Richard Prince.
