Who would have thought a pink panda exists?! Well not literally but it certainly is a pinky fine-dining cuisine! Last Saturday (021514), me and my friend had dinner in this resto called Pink Panda which is located at 4687 Santiago Street Corner B. Valdez Street, Poblacion, Makati City.

polaroid shoot with the panda buns :))
We actually had a hard time finding the place since we aren't familiar with the busy streets of Makati! Moreover,the place is below Y2 Residence hotel which is near A-venue Mall. My friend found out about this as she heard that this is one of Erwan Heussaff's newest ventures. And as we saw this panda-looking buns,we decided to try it. :)



As I was mentioning earlier, Pink Panda is a Southeast Asian Diner created by Erwan Heussaff together with the Hatch 22 group. It features a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Filipino food. The place is not exactly filled with panda stuff or anything pink (though they do have a few pink decors) but the whole ambiance is more on bamboo and retro panda art on the walls.So here's what we ordered:


Pink Panty(P110). I have no idea why it was named like that but it tasted as good as a red iced tea.Haha ;p


General P's Chicken (P270). Orange chicken with dried chilies and fried peanuts


Pink Panda Rice (P180).Yellow rice with bits of chicken, Chinese sausage and lettuce topped with chips.And I do find this similar to Yang chow fried rice,yum!! :)


Panda Buns (P220).Yummy, cute pork panda-shaped buns that you would feel awe to eat for!


Since it was too cute,we even took a selfie with it!!lol.

Here's to that feeling when you're going to eat a cute little treat.Hahaha♥
You guys go try it!!It is certainly,a must!Check out Pink Panda Diner or @pinkpandamanila for more info :)

Talk about RASTACLATS.

I'd like to introduce this wonderful collection of armbraids from Rastaclats.

taken at Titan store,Two Parkade branch

Rastaclat (rah-stuh-claht): the cloth of the righteous.Rastaclat is dedicated to the spirit of Spreading Positive Vibrations® encouraging individual style, a sense of positivity and freedom of expression. The brand originated at Long Beach, California that sells hand-made accessories of fine quality.They create belts and bracelets made out of hemp or shoelaces.Plus,several of their designs are inspired from famous icons which makes it even cooler! :)
So when I was at Titan, I bought 2 pieces of the bracelets: turquoise and namo(blue & purple) design.The prices depend on the design so I chose two of my favorite colors (and I could've bought a camo one if only it was available.Haha!).



Check out www.rastaclat.com for more of their products.You can buy their products in any Titan outlets here in Manila.Just follow @titan_22 on Twitter for more details :)

New year shopaholic.

Once again, happy new year to all!Hoped y'all had a wonderful start of the year like I do over these past few days. I've been out with my family as we tour my Japanese relatives around the town;and we ended up shopping,shopping,and SHOPPINGGG! :D Not only that, it's like we've been through drinking sessions with them every night!So yep,it was liquor coma this week.But it was fun!I really enjoyed being with them. :)

Our companion during our vacay at the South. ;p
Moving on, it was my first time to go to SM Aura last Wednesday and it was awesome.Inspite that the department store was closed that time,we took a stroll on each store outside instead.Basically,the whole mall is just like a typical SM mall but with bigger shops.Then we had dinner at Mary Grace which is becoming one of my favorite restos already.Aahh,their pasta and cheeseroll is so delicious!Plus apple-cinnamon and honey tea ♥ You guys should try it if you haven't yet!


On that evening also,I went to see the Titan store at High Street to buy Rastaclats as a christmas gift for myself.Haha! It was quite pricey for a shoe-laced armbraid but I really like it with its genuine quality.I'll make a review about it. :)

That's about it for now."My agony" aka school's back for me tomorrow..am I ready for another batch of crammy shizz?! Well,think positive!I'll put my new layout here next week :)

'til then! ;D

#2013 MEMORIES

Indeed,this year has been a blast and it's one of the BEST!I may be busy all throughout,but the year has brought me in to a lot of surprises and to "things I never thought would possibly happen". :')
10. CROSSFIRE. Last year, Christian Grey was the ultimate peg;Now,this new book series nailed it! The Dark&Dangerous Gideon Cross stole my heart this year.❤️ Just like Mr.Grey,this man has his own 'problems' too (and so as the heroine character in the story,Eva Tramell). But their love affair is sweeter than Steele-Grey :"> The series is already on its 3rd book and it has more mature content. So if you're legal(18+) and curious on a different kind of romance,try reading this :)

and btw,the story's not ending on the third book yet! ;D

9.Camo luvin'.Meet the newest addition to my favorites!Tho purple is still my most fave.I somehow don't know why I got hooked on camouflage when it's just all of a sudden that i started collecting stuff in that print(and it drives me crazy!hahaha!).No wonder,it does look unique.But you know,I don't like military nor soldiers---except for a #soldieroflove perhaps.oops!HAHAHA ;))

8. Christmas with my Japanese cousins. Shopping + roadtrippin' + drinking sessions with them was great!! :D Mind you,it's been more than 10 years since they've last spent the holidays here since they usually go around July.Thus,touring them around town has always been fun.Check out my facebook for our pictures :)

7. Concerts!concerts! I'm pleased to attend 2 concerts this year; from Demi Lovato's to Carly Rae Jepsen's :D Like what I've reviewed last year, Carly Rae became one of my favorite popstars 'cause of her upbeat songs.While for Demi,I really am a fan of hers since she starred on Camp Rock.She'd be my idol if I were a highschool teen now 'cause I find her similar to Kelly Clarkson :) Anyway,I was supposed to watch Ke$ha's also but unfortunately,school screwed it up for me (hashtag duty problems T__T).However,i look forward to watch more concerts next year! :)


6. Dance with the GFORCE. After 987654321000 years,my plan of enrolling myself to a dance workshop once again has finally come true!lol.And it's not just any dance workshop..I can't even believe at first that I'm on a dance class from a group that's performing on ASAP!Hence,it was really great.i despise rehearsals but i do miss them especially the moments when we're practicing the choreography already :) I'm glad to be part of Jazz funk batch 1 by Teacher Sherwin Casepe! This whole workshop just built more about my stage presence dancing skills.Hopefully next year,i'd be able to join again.Watch & Read the show here!

5. Epic CREW-ventures. We may be tangled by our hectic scheds in school,but we still found opportunities to unwind and HAVE FUN! Call it dramatic but I do feel disconnected to the world if all I do is to go to school then go home in a day.Sometimes,you need to take a break from it--like going to new places and trying new things which my barkada usually do. :)

how to spell FUN and CRAZY with these people. :))

4. My crazyyy 20th birthday.

Simply, a beautiful mess.yet unforgettable.It's the most memorable moment that i'll have for the 2nd decade of my life.I do have very surprising guests and gifts,but the fact that I passed out was just....ugh,eff THAT.lol.Wanna recap it?.

3. Grease Manila(111013).like I said, I'll never forget this play ever!Some people even discouraged me from watching it as I was deciding before if I'm really going to watch.But since I've been hooked to this eversince I was watching the rehearsals on the net and my favorite will be there,I suddenly thought that I can't miss this show.and so,things happened--I watched the show and it was amazing plus surprisingly,I get to meet the cast at the end. ;D I'll never forget that moment when Carla D. hugged me that time!♥ tell me more,tell me more! ;p

2. #helloSINGAPORE!This made my summer vacay this year superb ♥ Our whole trip there was absolutely amazing from endless shoppings,diversing with mixed races and our whole day at Universal Studios.Indeed,i'd loved to go back there again(and I AM coming back!!) soon ;) Reminisce with me here: part 1 l part 2 .

1. Friends with the DJ's.---well not just DJ's but also theater stars!And I'm so pleased and thankful to meet them.I didn't expect such things to happen!Especially meeting my 2 favorites, Carla Dunareanu and Sam YG for several times! :"""> Yeah,i got to admit that i usually have those 'embarrassing moments' to meet them;but having the guts to do it surely turns out to something!Haha.Though when it comes to my favorite days with them,the most would probably be with Sam.♥ oh lord,thank you for making this possible!! 0:")

Now that's a wrap!And I'm sure the funnerness won't stop here--there IS MORE TO COME. :) So why not we gallop for more new memories next year?Haha! 'til then!I would like to thank everyone who reads my entries here.thank you,thank you,THANK YOU!!!
