EPISODE 5: An Origin Story

 

Bake and Churn's Mango Madness Melted

Last Friday was my mom's birthday and i finally redeem my Bake and Churn ice cream cake from Megamall, my last voucher from the 3 pieces i bought a few months ago.
This is a good deal, you get a 400php voucher for 200php only applicable to limited flavor of dome cakes. A few months back i blogged about my Bake and Churn experience HERE. And last month i tried a new flavor and blogged about my experience also HERE..
So the lessons i learned from the two purchases are the following
  1. dont buy the cake if you cant have it frozen when you eat it, because it is extremely sweet specially if it already looks overly sweet and you eat it nearly melting.You may research the ingredients from website, for bake and churn, their website is nice to have all the ingredients enumerated for each cake. 
  2.  if you dont have a car dont commute with an ice cream cake. Generally to travel with anything too bulky and delicate is a pain, what more if you are racing with the time and comcern about the heat?Ice cream cakes dont taste good when its melted, or when it is even nearly melting.
Moving on, ive applied the two lessons i learned last friday, after all i wanted the cake to look nice for my mother. From Megamall to Binan Laguna I hitched a ride with the neighbor's car working in San Miguel, but traffic was heavy i was home by 8:15 when i left the office at 6:00 and i had my cake by 6:30.

Much to my dismay this is how my cake looked like when i opened the box.

Add caption

As you see in the picture, one side of the cake has already fallen, the ice cream outside melted already, its not even 3 hours, and to think they promised that the cake wont melt upto 4 hours. But it maybe a case by case basis.
My first experience with Bake and Churn was the Rocky Road. The side of the rocky Road is fence by chocolate chips, when you buy from the shops a whole cake, it has some acetate keeping the fences intact, therefore, it may possibly last longer compared to other cakes without that acetate.

I may not have evidence that shows that its already past 8 at night but there is also no reason for me to slander. THIS IS A REVIEW. This will help buyers to decide what to buy in the future.

And if you ask me about the taste, i don't find it too sweet like the Black Forest, but it is also not as nice as the Rocky Road, But it is Bake and Churn, It's delicious as ever.

ONLY YOU Fringe Season Finale

I cant believe Fringe is showing its last season. (sigh)
I dont really like what happened in Season 4 it seems like so many puzzles with missing pieces mixed up altogether. At first there's some unexplainable part of Science, there's alter universe, then there's overlapping of Universes and now its 2036 in Fringe and the world does seem wasted. The supreme ruler is an observer, a being unknown of origin but has existed even before time.

Okay, so the Season starts with the reunion of the main characters, Olivia, Peter, Walter, Astrid and Henrietta. Well Etta or Henrietta was introduced in the last episodes of Season 4. Apparently, she was Peter and Olivia's daughter.. I am really confused now so i am downloading the Season 4  again and when time permits i will even watch everything all over again from Season 1. Fringe has always been a Fun puzzle to Solve so i am anticipating more in the next episodes, i do hope my boyfriend start liking it so he will download for me hahaha.

Well, even if  i never liked the turn of events with Fringe, it still amazes me how great this show was made, from the sounds to the effects. And yes, my favorite is still Walter Bishop for I am very much in love with his wit.

This Video is from youtube. This song haunted me for weeks I was looking for it for days until now, finally i found it..I think the mix is just perfect.


Walter was looking for music. With music, he can think better.

Still my Favorite Christmas Song

Christmas is coming.
Christmas Songs bring me a certain kind of happiness and loneliness at the same time. To date, I've downloaded a lot of songs online, songs about Christmas. And this song by far is my most favorite.

It's Charice Singing "My GrownUp Christmas List" from December 2010


Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now

And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish

My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start
and wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believed

The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows

That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there'd be)

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list

This is my grown up christmas list

Solomon's Boneyard


My BF and i have been addicted to this game for the longest time ever!! it all started out with Raptisoft's first game called Solomon's keep. Ever played Diablo?? Solomon's keep is like Diablo. You advance from floor to floor after swiping the entire floor and unlocking the doors, killing all mobs, you get to gain exp, get dropped nice looties that in turn you can wear to add more stats to your hero. To finish a floor you also need to unveil the entire map. I have only played the easiest mode and got bored..
 
Luckily raptisoft launched Solomon's Boneyard, a new game and more likely a sequel to Solomon's keep it is also inspired by The Diablo.

Solomon's Boneyard is better and as a player you are encouraged to save money so u can buy more perks, unveil other heroes, buy more skills add more options etc. just recently my bf bought the add boss feature and it has never been more fun!! 

The reason i cant restore my iPhone is because i wanted to unlock everything first just try it out entirely before loosing it right. And i promise i will buy some in game cash as a Thank You to Raptisoft for such a nice game!!

My Not So Grown Up Christmas List

Hello October! Christmas is fast coming and the kid in me wants to make a list for Christmas. I use to do this but i stopped, so now dyaaaraaan!! Here's what i want for Christmas!

Warning : This is the materialistic side of me :) there are far better things i wish that i could not write in here so i just keep it to myself okay! i wanted to make this list so i will be inspired to achieve, these i would like to think - will be my reward to myself.

A New Perfume

Sniff Sniff Sniff me More. I think I've been wanting to get this for myself for the longest time. Isn't it lovely? Just the bottle looks classy enough right? But its a little expensive for me so until now i cant buy it, I've been like dreaming to have Daisy by Marc Jacobs for the last 3 years now. Oh how i wish i could have it soon!



Well, i things go so well, i would like the following as alternative :

a. Dolce and Gabbanna Light Blue. This is like the National Perfume of all the Pinays in Singapore. And Yes i love it too, i used to have a small bottle but its finished already. So i want one, again!


b. Victoria Secret's Vanilla Lace. I beg to disagree that it smells like a car perfume! I know its affordable nonetheless it is still classy! And it would be super awesome if it will come together with other stuff like below (vomit blood).




A New Bag

What now haha i think i had like 10 or more bags this year but those were the cheap bags from Divisoria, infact some of them i gave away already after one use only, the thing is, i have a very little resistance to temptation when it comes to bags. Have you ever been to Divisoria's Night Market?? They sell there very cheap bags mostly signature cut, but of course they don't last long, lucky you if they last with you for a few months.Then I realized now, i actually spent so much for those cheap bags that had i saved all those money i could have already afford a better bag with a good tag, No not the LV or Prada ones, but Maybe Tommy Hilfiger or XOXO perhaps?
But this Christmas, I'm eyeing Charles & Keith and how i wish I'm still in Singapore because C & K is so much cheaper there and what more i can check out the sale items online and see which store has it, saves me time and money going to the wrong shop right? The website is also so good you can actually see how the items look like because you can rotate the viewer. Too bad they don't have a website for online shopping in the Philippines, and the items are very limited as well.



And here are the alternatives in case i failed to get it

a. Michaela Bag. My workmate Janice always get her bag from Michaela, before, i don't really believe in the promise of local brands but i came to notice this one specially because i like the styles and sizes their bag comes with.

b. Satchel bag from Tomato. Ive been wanting to get this Purple (or dark velvet or this curry colored on like the pic below) bag from Tomato but whenever i visit their boutiques they don't have stock so i don't really know if they still sell it. but i still want one in case i failed to get the 2 above.Hahaha.

Buy this Bag for Me from ZALORA.COM or TOMATO.COM
A New Phone

I think i better say bye bye to my iPhone. I am planning to sell it soon because its like 3 yrs old already and i am not very comfortable traveling with it. Its not very luxurious dang its not Samsung s3 or iPhone 4 or 5 but still if you travel most of the time Here in the Philippines better be safe than sorry. I would like to change into a more humble phone so i would like to get myself a cheap 3g Blackberry, No i don't want a plan, i just want to have data when i need it so i want a prepaid one, i also don't want monthly obligation.

From Top to Bottom : Bb Curve 9220, BB Curve Touch, Bb Torch
Buy For Me any BB Phone at Blackberry PH

 And here are the alternatives in case i failed to get it

a. DTC GT3 Astroid Phone. I have not seen this in actual but based on the review i think i like it hahaha. It has radio, internet, is touch screen, is an authentic Android Phone and what else, Dual Sim! It Rocks!
That's a lot for a cheap phone yea? Its roughly 4K ++, more or less 150USD.

Grab this DTC GT3 for me from LAZADA


b. Nokia Asha Touch Phone. I like the red or fuchsia one, i think its cute!!


Gift me this Nokia's Stylish new phone from NOKIA PH

An Ipad!

Yes you heard me i want an Ipad for myself. I think I'd go with the WiFi Only, it is fine because i intend to have internet on my phone anyway. I don't know why i never bought an Ipad when  was in Singapore, Maybe because i find it too huge?? Haha, but that what i want now something huge so i can have more time reading or listening to my audiobooks. Also i want to sell my iphone so i need to get another apple. I am in love with Apple products.

Buy for Me an IPAD at APPLE PH

 There is no alternative. I would not want any tablet except for an Ipad, but if anything else comes free i will gladly take it!! Playbook or Galaxy Tab, Sony Tab of Even a Kata T1 will do!

Give me a Paybook for Christmas at BLACKBERRY PH

Buy For me a Samsung Galaxy Tab at SAMSUNG PH

Give me a Kata T1 from OWTEL Store

 A Rebonded Hair

Stress really does bad right? Imagine how i looked when i was out of job, penniless but fresh hahaha and yes i may have a few to spend now but look how horrible i look, i aged a ton!! Sometimes i feel even scared to look at myself, seeing how horrible my skin had become, or even my nails, or even my "size" those aren't really helping to boost my self esteem.. So for a change i wanted to pamper myself with a nice rebond, You see despite the split ends, i really want to keep my long hair so i just trim it only a little, i want to reserve it until i save enough for a rebond. Oh i dont think i could afford those Loreal Xtenso because they are sooo expensive, But hey i found a salon with great feedback and customer reviews so i want to try it.
But hey look what i got just now from PalsSalon's Tweet, a Promo! OMG i liiikkke this!!!! but no budget for now huhu :(

MG Treat Me !
Drop me a Donation for this Hair Rebond Promo. (Paypal)

PalsSalon in Pasig is my target, but Dang, i think you have to call for a scheduled visit because they are so popular that their calendar is almost full until the end of the year.
I have a few alternatives, but those i would keep to myself for now.
An Inter-Island Vacation
My Bf and I have been planning to go to a vacation trip. For once we have not been to any and i think we should soon do it because both of us are stressed with our work and second, everybody deserves some good time right? But where do we go? I still don't know.. Money is still a big factor, this may come last but i sure want this to come one way or another.. I wanted to go to Boracay for a few days, I wanted to see the beach, to feel the wind, but i also want to enjoy the mountains to wake up in the chirps of the birds. Actually, I thought of coming home to Mindoro, Its my mother's province and my grandmother owns a house there, i also have a clanful of relatives there. But i dont even know why,as much as i miss Naujan, i am also afraid to see that place again. I feel sadness. With my grandfather gone now, the house that used to be very happy just sits there damp and empty. i hope one of my mom's sibling go back there to live in the house, so it would still feel home to me.

An Overseas Trip

Shoot me rawr!! But if i can fit in your baggage i would definitely go with you here are the countries that i would like to visit, Hopefully next year we can go there because i am definitely sure that i will not be able to afford it before the year ends.

A. Korea
B. Hongkong / Macau
C. Beijing
D. Jakarta
E. Kuala Lumpur
F. Japan
G. Dubai

Simple Flower Nail Art : Cherry Blossoms at Night

Just recently i learned how to make flowers with a dotting tool and a toothpick. So my nails this week is inspired by the magazine cover i saw while traveling home. Sakura leaves in dark background. I called this Cherry Blossoms at Night ha-ha..

Look how my experiment goes.
Tadaaah!



Unfortunately my nails are still very short. I dont know when they gonna grow longer because im very stressed these days and i tend to bite them unintentionally (disgusting yah?) hehe..

Simple Strawberry Nail Art

When i saw Saab Magalona in one of the TV Sitcom in TV5 (i can't recall what or when) one of the thing that caught my eye is her nails. I thought i saw some strawberry inspired art in it. Before i knew it, i have already researched on youtube how it is done and tell you, there are tons of strawberry nail art tutorials online but amongst the videos i saw, i think this one is the same as the what's Saab nails look like.




After seeing this video, i was fired up and envious so i got mine too. haha. But i have limited nail polish supplies and i dont have the same colors so i made use of what i already have.

the polishes i used making my strawberry nails

When i applied the green i just let it go over my nails because it is short, i cleaned it aftwards

finished product!


First i coat my nails with the pink one, then used the green one to make the leaves, actually i dont have a green, this color looks more like teal to me, but it can do yeah? then apply the strawberry seeds randomly using a dotting tool with white polish. To finish it off, i coated it with a natural polish so its shiny.

love my short sweet nails
It may look messy but i think looks cute for a first timer.


Special thanks to my boyfriend for buying the Nail Polish in one of my favorite wholesaler shops in Divisoria. 13Php each for the nail polish. I will do a different strawberry design in the future, hopefully looks better !:)

The Hello Kitty Chocolate Filled Cookies.

I saw this Hello Kitty Chocolate filled cookies from Mercury Drug Convenience Store in Crossing Shaw and immediately bought it. I thought of trying it out for a change but i already doubt it because i had a bad experience from Japanese cookies bought from Singapore's 1 dollar Daiso. They don't taste right to me.
But, the cat caught me and like in most occasions, i can barely admit that i loved hello kitty. But in reality, i think i do, i just don't have the budget to collect it, or maybe i find liking it too overrated. Because, who doesn't anyway?

Whats in the Bag

Chocolate filled cookies that looks hand painted with cute drawing of kitty and ice cream cones. The filling are cookies and something with texture, im not sure if its rice crispies (really tiny) or sprinkles. But they look good. They just dont smell that enticing.

Cute Cookies and Cute Foil Pack
The Meowmmmy Factor

I think it don't taste good at all. Just like my worst experience from a Daiso cookie, it leaves a medicine like after taste, that kind of taste you get from really cheap cookies. It don't taste like chocolate to me, but only "chocolate-like" something else ha-ha. No kidding i ate only 3 pcs and thought of taking the other few pieces home to feed it my dog. Later on i throw it away i fear my dog might die LOL.


Round cookies and its not so chocolatey insides


Duh
I took home the other pack, Its  a good addition to my room only because it is pink (Oh i love anything pink that looks cute). The pack that i throw already i took it again from the waste bin and cut Hello Kitty out, put some tape and pin it so right now it stands in front of my monitor in the office. And whenever i look at it, i feel full (that's good right?), i don't ever wanna taste it again.

Foil Kitty on my Monitor Stand

Heya Hello Kitty

I definitely don't recommend buying it. But it is cheap anyway so if you are collecting Hello Kitty, its good to have one too, just display it, don't eat it !

Tyring Out Bake and Churn's Black Forest Flavored Dome Cake

First of all let me tell everyone that i love Bake and Churn, i enjoyed their ice cream cakes and I've blogged about it already HERE.
Black Forest
Yesterday was my BF's 26th Birthday, that in mind, i redeemed for him an ice cream cake from Bake and Churn, i had a voucher from Ensogo which i have purchased long ago. I've always loved Rocky Road and i have tried and tested Bake and Churn's Rocky Road Dome Cake. It's a Two Thumbs Up i tell you.
Yesterday i though of trying other flavors and the closest i had thought was Black Forest.
The cake looks amazing. I even asked my BF to change himself into a red shirt so i would take pictures. Bake and Churn is still true to their word that their ice cream don't melt so easily. BlackForest's Icecream cake is almost the same as the Rocky Road, except that the Rocky Road had less ice cream and less cake because it has a layer of marshmallows, the BlackForest have a Thicker layer of Cake, Thicker layer of ice cream and thin layer of white icing.
I sliced a generous amount and dig in realizing how sweet it was, no.. not sweet, overly sweet. There's nothing in the combination that pacifies the sweetness. Everything is sweet, no.. everything is overly sweet.
My BF and I were not able to finish the slice i put in my plate. The sweetness.. no.. extreme sweetness gave me a headache and even my mom's boyfriend started vomiting the food out before i could even complain.

I've always loved my cake with a reasonable amount of sweetness only.. I think i made a wrong choice in picking BackForest. I should have sticked to the traditional Rocky Road. Well, i still have 2 more vouchers to use and i dont know what to choose now :(


Happy Birthday Baby

The Slice of Black Forest

Bake and Churn's Black Forest
As much as i love Bake and Churn, my BlackForest experience was a tragedy.

I am an Oilbularya

I did not get into oiling because of the hype. I was interested after hearing from close friends how oiling has helped them, I thought ...
