Our new baby is here!

Finally! We've been waiting for her for a long time now. The time has finally come! Meet our newest baby, Nikki…

(This is not the actual photo. Nikki, for now, is still camera shy haha. But it's the same Nikon D40.)

Can't wait to start shooting using a DECENT camera!

LP (and some alcohol woes)

So anyway, after having my haircut, I went to Nayong SariSari Store (or whatever name it has–i forgot!) in LP (Little Pinas–haha) to buy some Pinoy stuff:

• Lucky Me Pancit Canton (calamansi flavor)
• Palabok Mix
• Tinapa
• Manggang Hilaw
• Barrio Fiesta Sweet Bagoong
• Chicharon
• Knorr Magic Sarap

If I need to go to LP, I always go on a weekday cuz if I go on the weekends, the place is literally overflowing with Noy-pis that it's difficult to do the stuff you're supposed to do.

Upon making chicka with the bicolanang tindera, I just had to ask if they're secretly selling Ginebra San Miguel. Hahaha!!! I miss my good ol' gin! Pero wala e. It's really not worth it to sell those because of the high import tax and if they smuggle it naman, it would be way too dangerous.

So this coming Christmas, I have to settle for Absolut Vodka to wash away my homesickness. Thanks to Tin and Marjon for buying one for me at the DFS upon their return from Pinas. And my gosh! The price difference ha!

Absolut Vodka at Cold Storage : $71

Absolut Vodka at Duty Free: $20 ONLY!

That's why if someone's coming from the airport and they ask me if there's anything I want them to buy for me, I always have a one-word reply: AL-CO-HOL!!!

A Hairy Story (continuation)

I couldn't tahan the haircut I got last night. So I went and had my hair cut again after work kanina. This time, I went to LP. Sa isang pinoy salon dun. And voila! They were able to repair the damage done by Jantzen's stylist hahah! Galing talga ng pinoy!!! I was able to get a haircut that's almost like the one I wanted. Sammy said, when my hair grows pa, I should come back daw so he can style it again. Yehey!

Sammy's Unisex Salon (haha unisex–mga pinoy lang talaga mahilig sa word na to!) was a typical pinoy parlor. Pero ha, in fairness, a lot of people really told me na magaling sila mag-cut.

Jantzen's Wash and Cut: $25

Maganda Unisex Salon: $15

Getting the style I want: Priceless.

So you see, it's not the name or the appearance of the salon. It's really about how they understand what you want.

Yehey!!!

A Hairy Story

I love my hair. And I am proud of it. Di nga ako sexy or flawless, pero maganda naman ang buhok ko. That's why one of my hatest moments is coming out of a salon with a haircut that I am not satisfied with.

I've been wanting to get a haircut for a long time now. The last haircut I had was after the wedding. It was an impulsive decision I made while travelling from Manaoag, a few days after our wedding. We were in Tarlac Highway, then we stopped in this small shopping complex. I saw (more…)
