Review: Mi Band 4


 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!

Food Tripping: Sit and Zip Imus


Sit and Zip is a cafe in Imus. It is on a rooftop of GRS Building near S&R Imus. It is cozy and the food is great. There are 3 parts to this place. Outdoor, Air-con area and an area for grilling as they also have unli samgyeopsal.


We stayed at the Air-con area that looks like a park with wood seatings. There are plastic plants and zabuton for you to seat on. There tables that can accommodate 4 to 6 people.


This was the first time my sister and I visited this place. There is a branch closer to SM Bacoor but I want to see the original cafe. We opt to taste 2 drinks, pasta, and a sandwich.

Chocolate Frappe

Cookie and Cream Overload
I love the drinks. It is big, good choice if you are there with friends and have plans on catching up. Their meaty spaghetti and carbonara were good for sharing too. It was a good pair with the clubhouse sandwich.



Serving time is around 10 to 15 minutes. We stayed from 4pm to 6pm and it was great. There was not crowded that day which was good.



Below are the photos of their menu. This may have changed as this was taken on December 2, 2019.




Check out their Facebook page and IG account.  They are open from 12pm to 12am, every day.

This is my year-end review 2019

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!

Silventures: More in Tagaytay


Looking for things to do in Tagaytay as a day trip? Do you have your own ride? Then these places are perfect for you. This is me traveling to Tagaytay with little sleep. So we had lunch as Mushroom Burger!


Since I can't eat beef due to the recovery from the operation I had. I opt for the mushroom burger. This was the first time I had this and it was kinda weird but it was good. If tasted like cream of mushroom with bigger pieces and less soup. They do have regular fries now so make sure you tell them that you want mushroom fries!

Curious about the Eyes? See more at @real_eyecandy
 There is still time before afternoon snack so we when to The Gingerbread House in Alfonso. This one is pretty far from civilization. see the maps for comparison. It is a bakeshop with cute decor and it feels its Christmas all year round.


There are a lot of places where you can sit down and take cute photos for your IG account. I like the swinging bed but I was scared to try it out. There is a 50 PHP entrance and you can stay as long as you want. You can make smores for a fee. I did not try it so I don't know the price.


 It's a bit crowded when we visited as there seems to be a group tour at the time. I still did enjoy visiting the place. It will be a fun trip for your barkada if you have a van to rent.


Time to have some afternoon snacks! This is really the reason why I was in Tagaytay, Kuuma Kaakao. I saw Tara sa South's post and I wanted to try their food out. The price is alright, the service is a bit slow though. If you are in a hurry don't go there.


Yes I know this was badly photoshopped
The food was great and the view is awesome too. We did think that it would have been better if they had tea or coffee on their menu as a pallet cleanser. Having hot chocolate with something sweet was too much.


Look a giant chair! You can find this on your way to Crosswind Tagaytay. If you know someone that is an agent for this place you can event go inside for house viewing. Near the entrance, you can see Santa's treasure shop and his raindeers!


It would be best to be there early as there is a trail that you can go up to if it was still bright out. I'm not sure if it was called Alpine trail I will need to check if the one that knows. Hehe


These are things you can do within Tagaytay and Alfonso for a day, it is a good vlog topic as well. Thanks for reading!
