REVIEW: Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina

Yahoo! My husband and I went out on a date one Saturday to Silantro for some Mexican treats. It's our first time at Silantro. We just had a not-so-good meal at 8 Cuts Burger Blends so we were hoping to eat something good (I am so sorry but the burgers at 8 Cuts and my palate do not get along well). 

It was Saturday so we were expecting there will be a lot of people so instead of going there on dinner time, we decided to go at around 4:00pm. 

REVIEW: Avon Lipsticks (Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick and Totally Kissable Lipstick)

Hello! :] 

Today, I will be doing a review on Avon lippies that I got 2 months ago. This is already a late review but like what I always say, better late than never (I guess motto siya nang mga palaging nag-po-procrastinate). 

I did a review on assorted Avon lipstick a long time ago. Check out this link: http://theunemployedfish.blogspot.com/2012/11/review-avon-lipsticks-assorted.html 

I feel a get my Avon lipstick from my office-mate whose mom is an Avon Dealer and I really do get a huge discount whenever I purchase from her. Unfortunately, I left my job two weeks ago. :( :( :( :( 


Anyways, I purchased 4 lipsticks - two from Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick collection and two from Totally Kissable Lipstick collection. 

The pink ones are from the Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick collection and the silver, bullet-looking ones are from the Totally Kissable collection.

Random Thoughts: Week 2 - A Housewife's Diary

It has been two weeks since I left my job. Hindi ako sanay na walang trabaho. Since I was 20 years old, I have been working already and whenever I leave a company, I start working at another company the next day. 

But not this time. 

Now, I have been taking a rest from work for two weeks. Sampung araw na walang amo. I wake up whatever time I want. I sleep whenever I want. 

I got married last October 2014 pero I never had a chance to stay at home and do housewife duties. Well this time, I am determined to do some housewife duties. :) 


1. Laundry

http://www.weathertrends360.com/Blog/Post/18-Uses-for-Those-GINORMOUS-Potholes-794

I love to do the laundry IF the washing machine is fully automatic. Fully automatic meaning kapag nilagay mo yung labahan sa loob plus tubig at sabon, pag labas nang mga damit, tuyo na. Yun nga lang,  our washing machine is NOT automatic. Semi-automatic lang. Which means I still have to rinse the clothes after washing them with soap. After doing that, I have to rinse them all with fabric conditioner then hang them dry. 
Doing this chore was really a difficult one. I only wash our everyday clothes, under garments and some clothes that needs to be hand-washed but for the rest, I let the experts handle them (special thanks to the laundry shop we have near our apartment). 

2. Cooking

I love eating but I can't cook well. I can cook but my dishes do not taste that good. I can only cook a limited number of dishes. And when I say I can cook, it means cooking without relying on mixing powders or ready-made-sauces-for-ulam  you can buy in the supermarket. 

- Adobo
- Sinigang 
- Nilagang Baboy 
- Spaghetti 

That's it. I am just not passionate when it comes to cooking. My husband cooks better than me! Anyways, I still have to learn cooking or else my husband will end up having kidney stones and high cholesterol levels from eating canned goods and fast food. 

3. Cleaning

http://www.dumpaday.com/funny-pictures/funny-pictures-48-pics/attachment/cleaning-the-house-funny-quotes/

I haven't had a chance to do a general cleaning of our house ever since I got married (take note: 8 months na akong kasal). I am so dead tired every Saturday and Sunday. During holidays, I take a rest and sleep for 12 - 14 hours. Call me lazy but my job's really giving me stress that I have to sleep whenever I have time. 

So when I did some cleaning, I saw amazing and gross stuff. I also realized that our ceiling already had cobwebs (the ceiling looked like a ceiling from a haunted house). 

This is just my problem. After cleaning the house, everything turns upside down again after a week or two. *Jeez!


4. Teaching 

Since I am not doing anything, I volunteered to teach my beloved nephew. I teach him how to read and write some things but my favorite part - playing with him after all those studying. I guess this was the easiest job ever - to teach kids. I love teaching kids. I thank God for giving me patience when it comes to kids. :) 





Honestly, being a housewife is a not-so-easy job (how much more if I have kids on my own). I really have high respect for housewives or stay-home moms (and stay-home dads). No amount of money could pay their dedication on making a house a home. 

I believe that being a housewife is a job itself. Housewife LANG ako - This statement is a big NO-NO. 

I do see myself being a housewife soon. It's one of the job that I am looking forward to in 3-4 years. I want to learn how to cook, do craftwork, and take care of my kids and husband. I do see myself staying at home. :) 

REVIEW: COLOUR COLLECTION LIPSTICKS: HIGH DEFINITION AND MOISTURE INTENSE

A month ago, I realized that I didn't have any red lipstick. I was so in love with other lipstick shades that I forgot I didn't have any red lipstick anymore. I think a red lipstick is a must-have in every girl's makeup kit. 

The mom of my dear office-mate is an Avon and Tupperware dealer. We get huge discounts whenever we buy something from her. So when my office-mate told me that some lipsticks were on sale, I knew I had to buy some red lipstick. I saw the brochure and I decided to buy 3 shades of red lippies! (that's why my husband tells me I am an impulsive buyer)


1. Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick - Cinnamon Red 
2. Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick - Raspberry Red
3. Colour Collection Moisture Intense Lipstick - Rouge Red

Yes! All red. (I could already hear my husband telling me 'Ang dami mo nanamang lipstick, ano yan sabay sabay mong gagamitin?')  :) 


Aside from office work, I also teach Koreans though video. I have to somehow look good on the video and usually, a good shade of lipstick would do the trick that's why I decided to buy Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick in Cinnamon Red and Raspberry Red. Unfortunately, I am not blessed with plump and awesome lips. My lips dry a lot too. So I also decided to got Colour Collection Moisture Intense Lipstick in Rouge Red. 

Price: Originally sold for PhP 399 each but since it was on sale, I got them for PhP 199 each. 

These are the lipstick that I bought 

REVIEW: Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream

Aside from Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream, another must-have Korean product that I have (should always have) is Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream. I have been using this amazing product for more than 1 year already and all I can say is that it is definitely a must-have. 


I should have done this review a year ago but I was busy then. :( Well better late than never!

Two months ago, I finished a jar of Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream. I had other moisturizers, creams, and serums to try so I din't bother buying another one. 
After a week or two, I started to develop these nasty zits/pimples. I am already 28 years old I should have graduated from these pimples but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I felt like I was in highschool once again. 

I also had pimples on my forehead but the ones near my chin and neck are just bad. Whenever I have pimples like this, I use Etude House AC Clinic Daily Toner and Gel Lotion (click the name to view my review on the product). Unfortunately, Etude House AC Clinic Daily Toner and Gel Lotion comes in big bottles only. It will be a waste of money if I buy them then won't be able to use them after my pimples disappear. 

Then I had to purchase Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream ASAP.
