If Randomness is what you are looking for then this is the right place. From Games to Nail Colors, Clothes to Food Joint and random daily rants or thoughts
Now that we are at the last quarter of the year... Let's list the things that happened, based on the photos I have and the things I wrote down, since I don't remember anything without proof, haha.
January: New Year
New Year's party at Home - I can't believe I survived 2024
First RTO at the office and Team Leader's Bday party
Well, okay, this has been too long. I will cut it for now. Thanks for being here. This is more like a directory to Vlogs and Photos. I will make a proper blog about something soon. I will make one more blog update from July to September.
I was looking for a smart fitness band ever since my normal wristwatch died on me. I was first interested in the ATMOSFIT Hydro, it was cheaper than the Mi Band. However, Mi band has more Strap options.
After asking friends about this and waiting for about 3 months I finally got the Mi Band 4. To be honest I did not know that most of the features I wanted in the Mi Band are also in the ATMOSFIT Hydro.
So let me get into it, I wanted a watch, a pedometer, and something that can analyze my sleep patterns. You can visit the Mi website for the complete specifications.
As a watch, I just like the fact that I can set the time based on my phone's time.
As a pedometer, I like that it does not count a shake as a step unlike some app on your phone. You can log your workout and it notes the calories you burn and as well as your heart rate.
As for the sleep analyzer, I'm not sure how it works exactly but it can only monitor it at night. That would be great for people that work on normal hours. However, I work at night. It seems to track sleep between 9pm to 6am. So at the moment, I get to monitor the sleep since I work from home and I can sleep before 6am. Hopefully, this can be updated soon.
These are the reason why I decide to buy this brand. Bands with cute colors and designs that you can match.
Sorry if this is not the review you are looking for. Oh, battery life is good as well. Every since I got this last March 14 I have only charged it once. Thanks for reading!
Hello, 2020! How was your decade? I'm trying to remember what I have done for the past 10 years.
So for it to be easy I will do this per year.
2010: I was back in school, ready to graduate. I did a petition to have the provincial bus be back in Manila. I got gifts from relatives, friends, and Sherome. We visited an orphanage to help. I wonder how those kids are now. I started using tumblr and Facebook more.
2011: I got to try a lot of things, like going on outings with friends, going to museums in Manila and dying a part of my hair blue. I have also entered the last sem before graduating. I joined a Sailor Villian cosplay group. This was also the last time someone random tried to ask for my phone number at SM Bacoor. My online Job was blooming.
2012: Out of College now. I got a freelance job at an AD agency for about 6 months and it was fun. I got to do activations, call outs and Halloween party. This was the year I got Treze and BB13 the camera. This was the year I update this list too. This was the year I was at Cosmania as well as a random girl in a Yukata. I got play with nail polishes and open an online Ukay Store. It was great!
2013: This year out and about looking for work as the part-time job I had with the agency was done. This as the year I discovered Labyrinth, yes I'm was 27 years late. Late this year I started this blog and I have tried to post more yearly. This is the year I started the Birth month Randomness too
2014: This was the most productive year of this blog, 51 entries. I created this FB page as well. When to Baguio with family. I was still working around Mall of Asia. I got to enjoy more that year I think. There is more I just can't find it.
2015: This was the year I got a video edit job, it did not last long, after that I started working for Gaiax in Makati. It was a gig that has something to do with social media. This was the year of the Kontrabando Jamboree and the APEC summit that got people working. I when to Puerto Galera with friends and it was great!
2016: Stopped working for my online edit job, but got another edit and data entry side hustle. I was moved to the socials for the gaming side of things. Discovered Forever Sucks and Office Dramalala by D5 Studios. I traveled solo to Bacolod to see my best friend! I went crazy with Doctor Who this year, watching the new ones, then the classics. Oh, I got a surprised Bday party.
2017: Moved back to the corporate side of socials. I was given extra tasks like editing photos and making content. I did try to build my Youtube Channel but I since hid that and use this one instead. I got to try and be a marshall for a big convention... it sucked a bit. This was the time someone gave birth inside the bus I was in! When back to Bacolod with Sherome this time and ate our way thru the area. I did get a major heartbreak this year, I will leave it at that. Next!
2018: I was finally a part of the team's summer camp. When to places in Antipolo on a motorcycle. Left Gaiax/adish and was a bum for about a month. When to Baguio with Sherome and his family. I started work for Schneider Electric. So far so good, discovered Samgyupsal. Did a Staycation at Savoy Manila and watch "Ang Huling El Bimbo"
2019: Finally got my sunset-inspired hair and it glows under black light. I did a lot of reviews for this blog. I got my gallbladder removed. I stayed working for a year yey! I had fun walking the blacklight marathon. Traveled a lot this year too, went to spots in Manila, Tagaytay, and La Union. Online shopping is bad for me...
This is a long post and it took me 2 months to finish... I do hope I can do better! Happy New Decade!
Lip balms are the things you use to save your lips from being chapped. Unlike before lip balms now comes in different shades. I recently got the Pantone Beauty (PB) Buttercreme Lip/Cheek Balm online. Here is what I think about it.
Buttercreme's shade names may be derived from milk tea flavors. As you can see above the box has the brand, product and shade name. They smell like bubble gums and it is heavenly. I like bubble gum, so yap that might be a bit bias.
It's made in the Philippines, paraben-free and was not tested on animals. Each box shows the color of the tint, the social media accounts of PB and the ingredients. The container reminds me of ChapStick, although the label is different.
Each container has 6 grams of the product. Ingredients of this product are the following Virgin Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Vitamin E, and Colorant. It comes in the following shade: Wintermelon, Brown Sugar, Thai Milk, Roasted, Raspberry, and Red Bean.
So I have used most of the shades, ever since I got them. Applying them is pretty easy, it glides on your lips. I'm just bad with putting color on my lips so sorry if it's uneven. After doing the swatch below, I have come to realize that I like Brown Sugar and Roasted the most because I don't usually use those colors but they look good on my lips.
I did have a hard time trying to cover the waterline of my lips or in the words of Safiya Nygaard the "butthole", Maybe because the balm was a bit buttery. Overall, 150 per shade is not bad. Plus the reseller from Batangas was really really nice! Support local everyone! :)
I just want to ask which shade would you want to try?
This is Shadow and Flames Burger a small burger joint in Cavite City. Their menu is for people that like quarter pounder burgers, fries, and sausages. The price on their menu ranges from 60 to 250 Php for the burgers, 75 to 110 Php for the sausages and fries is from 35 to 85 Php.

They are open Tuesdays to Saturday between 4PM to 9PM. It will be best to check if they have posted that they are open on their FB page before going there. Plus if you like Lord of the Rings you will like dining here they have figures from the said movie on display.
Wing Avenue is located at The Avenue, Lancaster New City, Bucandala-Alapan Rd, Imus, Cavite.
They offer unlimited chicken wings, rice, and drinks for 279 Php. You can also opt to just have one serving of chicken wings for 99.
Via Pollo (Garlic Parmesan) with Wing Ave (Classic)
Let's talk about the flavors they serve. There are 10 flavors on their menu namely; Via Pollo (Garlic Parmesan), Hapcheon (Korean Style Honey), Wing Ave (Classic), Shibuya (Teriyaki), Saigon (Sriracha), New York (American Style BBQ), Binondo (Hoisin), Calle Real (Galic Adobo), Luneta Park (Cheese), EDSA (Buffalo Style).
EDSA (Buffalo Style)
I think I have visited this place twice now. I'm still planning on going back. Among the 10 flavors, I like EDSA and Hapcheon. I have yet to try Calle Real and Luneta Park.
Via Pollo (Garlic Parmesan)
On both occasions, the place was not crowded so it was easy to get our orders. You can also advance call if you want to. You can get 2 flavors on your first order. That is a plus for me. I do recommend this place if you have a car or live near Lancaster.
Check out their FB page for more information: Wing Ave.
This is a newly opened food park in Cavite. We went there last Monday, as I did not have work. There are I think around 30 plus stores in it. Giving you and your friends or family options.
This place has you covered from appetizers to dessert. Sherome and I were suppose to meet up with my college friends. The set time was 4pm but they were late. So we when ahead and bought food from Transporkmer.
When the other got there, they order ribs, Shawarma, fries and takoyaki. It was great! To be honest it was kinda pricey but hey you only get to see college friends on such occasions. I got dessert from a store called Ice Cream Lab. It was called death by chocolate.
A-Rest-Tea Place, Imus just opened about a month ago. It's a cool place to have tea. Let's talk about the food! I love their tea! I need to go back to try the others!
Left: Green Tea- Macha Iced 22 OZ. - P110 + 10 for tapioca Pearls Right: Wintermelon Fruit Tea 22 OZ - P65 + 10 for tapioca Pearls
The food they have is great for its price. So we got the following, Green Tea- Macha Iced, Wintermelon Fruit Tea, Clubhouse A Rest-Tea Place way, Sweet and creamy Spaghetti and Nachos Overload. Check out the photos for the price.
Clubhouse A Rest-Tea Place way - P110 (Ham, Egg Salad, and Cheese)
Sweet and creamy Spaghetti - P65
Nachos Overload - P110
If you do want a bit of peace and quiet, it is best to go there as soon as they open. If you have plans of blogging as well, you can have the place to yourself for about an hour or so I guess.
Full view so you can read the menu
I was with my sister and I think she did enjoy the place and the food. to be honest I felt like I was going to have a food coma. Their food is really filling.
If you are going to visit them, remember they are on the second floor of the Millenium Commercial Building, Imus, Cavite. It is in the same build as Wensha Imus. You won't miss it as it is close to the Palico-MCI stoplight.
plus you can see their store sign
Happy first Monthsary, A-Rest-Tea Place, Imus! P.s. I suggest that you add hot drinks to your menu, please! ^_^
They are open from 12NN to 11PM according to the person that replied to my FB message. A maximum of 2 hours stay is implemented. Give chance to others!
Last year L'Oreal Paris and Balmain released 12 limited edition matte shades by Color Riche. They were gorgeous! You can get them online at Lazada as a set or at your local malls.
I just wanted one for Christmas. I wanted a shade that I have never tried before, Instinct. It has a green shimmery effect. I was lucky to get one from the office exchange gift. Thanks to Bill!
It is not something most girls would wear on a daily basis. I love the shade and it smells great! It is matte but I don't feel like my lips are drying up.
Up close. (It kinda matches my hair color)
I think this color is awesome on me. It is unique and hey I like weird colors. It's priced at P499.75 the last time I check a Watson's inside SM Store. It is totally worth it!
