Health Food

Growing up as a very sickly kid, it was inevitable for me to be forced into a healthy lifestyle. My mother was the one who influenced me into taking supplements and I eventually had to start exercising by the time I was in 5th grade. It was in high school when I got into dance, and I delved into more athletic forms of physical activity after that.

Fact: I like eating alone. I like my me time.

BIZU has great menu options for [pesco]vegetarians.

We had a gig last Friday at the Quantum Cafe. Arrived when they had a drum circle going on and some people did capoeira in the middle.

Plus there were some cool artworks.

Sunday-- Bloggers' Closet. I stayed for a few hours.

Went to 2nd's for Church Simplified. Had dinner there right after.

Okay, freaky smile... Riz braided Robin's hair while he was giving me tips on how to make my muscles smaller (apparently the weights I've been lifting are too heavy- it should be lighter weights and more speedy reps).

Oh yeah, you can now catch him on 105.9, from 9 AM to 12NN! And of course, MYX. Heh...

Rob: "TELL YOUR FRIENDS".

Stock Market...

We spotted a cuca... And another one a minute after the waiter killed it. They only noticed cos Sam was flailing and they were scared that I took photos.

I think this is also the only restaurant I've ever given a negative tweet to. The service is the same as the last time I've been there. Sad. They have FIC and the only Mango Sago I really like so I visit them for that...

And yes, I ended my post with the cucarachaaaa.

grubs- contemplating on a rating system.

Echo Cafe's mushroom burger

California Maki (SumoSam)

Crunchy Kani rolls (SumoSam)

Should I start a rating system for the food I take photos of?

I think I only post photos of food if they're pretty, but I can't help but think that some of you would like to know whether or not they're worth ordering.

Well if they're really bad, I think I'd warn you guys... Take note that being veg sorta cleanses out your taste buds so simple flavors are more noticeable, and most of the things I find really tasty can be bland for meat-eaters. I think this why I've avoided the whole rating system in the first place.

If you google it, the full explanation can be found in tons of sites. :)

the Great Fashion Finds event at Robinsons Midtown Mall

08.15.10

collage we submitted :)

Shopping and taking photos after eating lunch didn't feel right (*burp), but we had so much fun trying on things!

Notice my half-brown (natural) and half-black (damaged, overly-dyed) mane.

those embroidered shorts- mine! :)

those hotpants- finally mine!

Ana won my mini-contest!

Accessorize gave this as a gift! :)

It was my first time to visit Robinsons Midtown, and I was floored when I first saw it! Their new-ish wing is pretty massive, plus it reminded me of some of the malls I frequent- usually the ones which are spacious, well-lit and had high ceilings (shopping triggers the claustrophobic in me).

Jeffrey Siy invited me to this event and sent me an email a few days ago that Robinsons wanted to promote the free wifi they offered shoppers around the mall (I think every mall should have free wifi! It's usually faster than the wifi you'd get using your phone's service provider). So they asked a couple of lifestyle/fashion bloggers and their readers to experience this first-hand.

We were given a couple of gift cheques and a chance to pick 5 stores to score great "fashion finds". We went to Topshop, Topman, Dorothy Perkins, Accessorize and then the Department Store.

I was like a young Raleene in a camera shop (lol)- felt SO giddy when I found that their Topshop branch had the hotpants I wanted in MY size! So I ended up buying two pairs before we walked out of the first store. My wallet was spared from the trauma, thanks to the GCs!

Ana happily circled Dorothy Perkins which was more of her style. I felt the hippie-esqe vibe from her the moment I met her, and I was right! She's more of a boho/hippie dresser, and it even shows in her online shop! She gave me a few pieces from her store when we first met that day and opened it just when I arrived home. LOVED all the things inside her goodie bag! It shows that she reads my blog! She gave me a couple of silver rings, a body chain and a hippie band. THANKS A BUNCH, ANA! :)

We also visited Accesorize, and they gave me a gift the moment I walked in. Luckily, it was just what I needed- a coin purse! Right now, all the coins I get for change are just cluttered at the bottom of my huge bag. SO unladylike... So I got a couple of accessories from them, too- including a faux hair braid band in my hair colour!

We were pretty tired when we got to the department store so we decided not to try on their clothes. Had fun browsing through their bags and shoes instead! It's pretty amazing how many brands they carried in one area...

Headed back to our meeting place where all the bloggers had to edit and then post about their fab finds on the Robinsons Malls Facebook page. They also raffled off a lot of prizes. I won a SUN wireless broadband and Ana won even more GCs!

This experience was SO fun. It was my first blogger-related activity, and now I know why people are just so hooked to blogging! When I got home, I checked out some of the girls' sites and it made me feel like I was just so fashionably-inept. *sigh. Gotta admit, I felt like a total noob yesterday, which I think was evident since I wasn't like the extrovert that I usually am (LOL). Now... i just have to figure out a way to follow people and view my list of followers... Wait, don't tell me!!!

And oh, check out the sites of some of the girls I met at the event:
