I have been dreaming to have an Instax from Fujifilm for the past few months now. Until I was searching the internet then found this Instax Bundle for only P 4, 300 on Revamp’s page! I got excited! Before seeing it, I was browsing Lazada, unfortunately the color blue was out of stock at that time. However, I am thankful with Revamp for the bundle that includes film, close up lens, strap and colorful stickers. Wooohooo! Jackpot! I saved a few bucks compared to buying on the mall that cost P 4, 100 for just for the Instax and without the freebies. So I contacted Justine, confirmed my order and finally paid it that weekend. After 2-3 days, I got the package already! It was absolutely easy and fast transaction. 

Here's the freebies with Instax Mini 8 bundle: Instax Mini Film (cost P300-500), colorful stickers (cost P100+) and close up lens (cost P300). Included for free!!!! I am so happy with my purchase.

What's inside the box? The camera, 2 AA batteries, manuals and strap

Moreover, let’s talk more about the Instax Mini 8. To those who are not aware of this camera, let me give you an idea. Back in the days, it was famously called Polaroid. But Fujifilm revived it and made a mini version of the wide film that Polaroid usually used. The Fujifilm mini film version is as small as the credit card. They made it cute and colorful. Here are the specs for the Instax Mini 8 (from Photojojo): 

We used it during my mom's birthday celebration with my la familia. My mom sponsored the films too. We got lucky because there was a promo. If you buy 2 films (20 sheets) it will only cost P600, so without any hesitation we bought it somewhere in Mall of Asia. In other stores they were selling 1 film for P 500. Expensive.

Pros: Instant photos no need for a printer. Easy to use.

Cons: Expensive film. You only have one shot on everything.

I love taking photos. I will just used it wisely and during special occasions. hihi I am wanting to have a photo wall ever since I started taking photos using my Instax. If it push thru, I will blog about it, of course!

The Verdict: 

4.5 stars out of 5 stars (Just because of the expensive film)

Time for a movie review! When I saw this movie on my facebook feeds, I got curious. I searched it on google and watched the trailer. I was convinced to give it a try. Well, I just got a copy from my colleague. So what can I say about the movie Her?

It was a movie about a guy Theodore Twombly, he works at a letter company. He writes some personal letters to their clients. He is good at it. One day, he got a new operating system and it has a name. It was Samantha. It was a newly developed OS that has feelings and can interact to its owner like a human being. She is smart (of course, she’s a computer), funny and caring for an OS. Samantha was played by the voice of Scarlett Johansson. Because Theodore was in a process of moving on from a long relationship, he and Samantha became friends. Then, their relationship became deeper and blooms into- not-your-typical-love-story.

For me, it was a little weird. It if will happen in the near future, gosh! I think people will be scared to have a real relationship. The climax of the story was not that exciting. (Spoiler Alert) This was the twist of the story, Theodore realized and Samantha admitted that she is also inlove with other users of the OS. Samantha was not that loyal because she can multitask. Even technology can’t be trusted.hehe But it has a unique storyline that you want to try watching it. You should watch this movie to know the other details.


Here's the trailer. Watch it.

Another foodie adventure for me and my family, after we ate at Bi Won Korean Restaurant, we headed to Larcy’s Cupcakery Café for dessert. Yes, I know you might think, “Grabe naman ‘to mga ‘to ang sisiba!”. Hahaha That’s okay, we were born this way. Love us or hate us food is still our obsession. Hahahaha Who doesn’t like eating, right? Especially if you will see the delectable cupcakes from Larcy’s. Just like the last post about Bi Won, we also went here because of Kris TV and curiosity of my grandma. Well, I think this isn’t my first time. We also went here for the little kiddo on the last photo of this post. Hehe Anyways, Larcy’s have a nice vibe and interior. It is girly and cute. Most of the interiors of cupcake shops has feminine and cozy aura. I think a person who visits those places feels more relax. The cupcakes tasted good, perfect for a cup of tea.

You can see how the cupcakes are prepared.

They sell different cupcakes and cheesecakes.

Overall rate: 4 stars out of 5

Heyaaa! I am so happy that I have posted something on my blog after two days. Uraurada! As in agad agad, post na! (This is it! Hahaha) I am hoping to be consistent on my schedule of blogging. My goal is 2 or 3 times a week, I can post something on my blog. So just in case I am busy, I am creating some of my post in advance. For today, I prepared an #OOTD post. I wore my outfit on the event of “The Great British Festival”. The event was held on the open grounds so I decided to wear something casual and comfy. It ended around 7pm, there was no daylight until I saw the spotlight. Yey! Perfect spot!

My CUTE shirt from Zara.

The shirt was too low for a V-neck and I don't want my boobs saying "Hi" to everyone so I wore a tube (the orange one) from Terranova. I bought in during a sale for around 60php to 95php, I can't remember the exact amount. It was so cheap, right?

Thanks for the spotlight!

Extra photos. Crossing to the street pose.

My last post of #OOTD was look # 18 (Let it go). I was wrong, it should me look # 32. I got confused. haha Sorry for  a little bit confusion I made, just in case you have noticed it. hehe Tee-hee!

The Great British Festival was held at Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City, last March 7-9, 2014. It was a festival that featured the best of British culture and everything about United Kingdom such as automotive, fashion, sports and education. My sister with her ballet school participated on the event. They danced ballet. Her school is accredited in Royal Academy of Dance in London, the owner of her ballet school also teaches ballet in British School Manila. I think that is why they participated. Haha Anyways, check out the photos I took on the event.

I may not be a fan of Korean Cuisine but after eating in this restaurant changed my perception towards Korean dishes. This is true! We have been passing thru BF homes frequently and we kept on ignoring this restaurant until one day it was been featured on Kris TV. Hahaha I know, right? Sound a little cliché but Kris is so effective on advertising my grandma was the one who told us to try it. After the Confirmation of my sister on the church, we went to BF homes to try eating at Bi Won. We have no idea what to order. We just based our orders on our gut feels and recommendation of the server. Well, I am happy with the food we ate. 

Cozy place

Bi Won is an authentic Korean restaurant, I think only few Korean restaurants are known in our country compared to Japanese and Chinese restaurants they are all over the metro. As a first timer on a Korean restaurant, yes I know, it is my first time. I was so happy with the appetizer they gave us. It has 6 different kinds of appetizer such as peanuts, kimchi, steamed kangkong and the others were unknown to my taste buds but I tasted everything, I love it. (or matakaw lang kasi talaga hehehe) We ordered few items on the menu to taste it. Happy kid! 

They have a stove/ griller on the table for the barbecue. We should put it on use so we ordered some barbecues with lettuce and mint leaves.

Sam Gyup Sal – Slices pork belly and fresh vegetables barbecued at the table
Dak Gui – Chucks of chicken breast marinated with special sauce barbecued at the table

Lettuce and mint leaves ( I did not expected that it would taste good together.)

Time to roll the beef. I usually saw this on Korean Drama, rolling some bbq on the veggies. hahaha

Kal Bi Jjim – Braised beef shorts ribs with bone marinated in specially seasoned soy sauce 

(the sauce is so nice and the beef is so tender. heavenly! I am biased with beef. Beef lover here)

Japche – Korean dish made of sweet potato noodles with various vegetables in special seasoned sliced beef  (we keep on buying for more!!! new discovery dish Japche!! it looks like a pancit bihon but a little bit thicker and the taste is sweet and yummy! )

O Jing Uh Dup Bop – fresh slice squid, assortment of vegetables with special sauce with rice on sizzling plate (we asked someone to mixed it up for us. the photo was the after mixing it)

Pa jun – crispy rice flour pancake made with finely chopped squids and scallions in special sauce (the pancakes looks weird for me, I was hesitant to taste it but I tried and it is also good but I am not a fan of pancakes so I did not enjoyed it that much.)

Spring Fling

When I heard the word summer, all I can think about is laid back, comfort and sunshine. It is nice to play around with colors and floral patterns during this season. It is lovely to go to the beach with a variant color of clothes for a vacation. I always wish summer could last long but unfortunately, sometimes season change. This is why I called my summer style, Spring Fling. It might not be the always around but it has the love and the joy to express one self. Another thing that screams summer is the Dumond premium quality products. They have the uniqueness of the Brazilian way in beauty and style. Have you seen the latest summer collection from Dumond? I think you better check it out on their Facebook page, Instaram or Twitter. 

For you, what is your summer style? Is it #TheDumondWay?
