Please be careful with your bag

$

Last week, I was invited to Taylor Lautner’s press conference for BENCH at the Makati Shnagri-La ballroom.
I consider myself very careful about my belongings and placed my bag behind my seat.
But during all the excitement, I didn’t notice that my bag had fallen to the carpet with my wallet right next to it.
Good thing all the guests and staff were decent and none of my things disappeared.

But when my friend Jude had his bag stolen from a chair he was sitting next to at a Quezon City restaurant, I felt bad for him as though I was the one who lost a Margiela bag, a cellphone, and Mommy’s wallet with Php 15,000 inside.
Why was he carrying that much cash?
Jude was supposed to pay his bills. But the good friend and kaladkarin in him made him accompany our journalist friend to visit their schoolmate’s new restaurant instead.

How do bags disappear from right under your nose, or on the seat next to you, even though you feel protected by a wall?
Check out these two CCTV videos taken at McDonalds’ restaurants in Quezon City and Dau.
In this first video, the victims are on the left, while the thieves are on the right, aided by a man on a cellphone, who drops two bills (pesos and a dollar) and asks the people on the left if it is theirs.
When the couple checks out the bills, the thieves on the right snatch the bag right from the hole in the wall dividing them.

Be very aware of modus operandi where snatchers drop a bunch of coins to divert everyone’s attention, allowing accomplices to grab the bags of victims. This diversion method is also known as salisi.
In this next video, the victim is on the left with her bag placed on a seat next to her.
The thief takes the seat behind the bag, while a man with cellphone covers the scene of the crime.
Watch as the bag gets snatched, while the salisi gang disappears quickly.

So please be careful with your bags. Be careful even when seated in a booth or next to the wall. Make sure your bags are always in front of you. Hold on to a strap, even if it’s in your grocery cart. Be extra vigilant when there is a commotion around you.

Tried and tested: The Face Shop’s CC Cream

$

0

After BB cream comes CC cream.
BB cream stands for blemish balm or blemish base, promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace your serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock.
And now there’s CC cream, which stands for Color Control—a must-have product for those who want to achieve a natural skin tone.
I’m currently using the Face It Aura CC Cream SPF30 PA++ (Php 1,595), which comes in this interesting package—a round compact with a clear push button, to pump small amounts of cream to your sponge.

Face Shop Aura CC

I use this after applying concealer under my eyes and on my freckles, and finish this off with a powder fix.
I like it because it looks so natural with a dewy finish, instead of the heavy cakey feel of many foundations.
But I have yet find out if it is refillable because the packaging is too fancy to throw away.
The Face Shop also has the Face It Smart Capsule CC Cream SPF40 PA++ (Php 1,595).

Face Shop Capsule CC

While both products offer anti-aging, brightening, and UV protection benefits, there’s a slight difference:
The Aura CC is a liquid makeup base, while the Smart Capsule CC Cream finds the most natural skin color for the user.
It comes in three capsule colors: yellow, black and red which gets broken when applied using fingertips (it needs body heat to release the pigments).
This means no matter how dark or fair the skin is, the CC cream will automatically find the most natural skin tone.

The Smart Capsule CC Cream’s main ingredient is the Italian Blood Orange which brightens the skin and contains more vitamin C than normal oranges, giving excellent anti-oxidant effects.

66/365: G is for Good Morning :-)

Designed to offer more coverage than BB creams, The Face Shop’s CC cream still goes on sheer, moisturizes better and contains hard-core anti-aging ingredients.

THEFACESHOP is Korea’s #1 beauty brand, with over 2,000 stores worldwide, including 39 in the Philippines, located at Glorietta; Power Plant Mall; Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City; Newport Mall; Robinsons Galleria; Robinsons Place Manila Midtown Wing; Eastwood Mall; Shoppesville Arcade, Greenhills Shopping Center; TriNoma; Alabang Town Center; Festival SuperMall; SM Megamall; SM North EDSA-The Block; SM Mall of Asia; SM Southmall; SM Fairview; SM Taytay; SM Novaliches; SM Manila, SM Masinag; SM City Pampanga; SM City Clark; SM City Bacolod; Ayala Center Cebu; Abreeza Mall, Davao; SM City Cebu; SM Sta.

Rainy days, kids, and homemade spaghetti

$
0
0

It must’ve been Sunday afternoon when I noticed the rain pouring heavily outside.
“Is there a storm coming?” I tweeted.
Tropical storm #MaringPH is coming, was the tweet I got back.

So the kids have been home since Monday, Tuesday and today. I feel a little guilty for enjoying the cool/bed/sinigang/sweater weather while other have lost homes and loved ones.
Felt guilty checking out the new Muji store at Shangri-La yesterday. But the rest of the time, I stayed home.

It was an added treat for me since work was called off and my husband also stayed home.
Today we decided to make some homemade spaghetti, since Del Monte sent some merienda packs. The merienda pack on the left costs more or less Php 40 in the supermarket. I bought a small packet of Del Monte tomato paste to add more zing.

How to make spaghetti bolognese

My husband is a Dutch trained chef and makes wonderful things in our kitchen.
I prepared the ingredients and took the pictures, while Jeroen did most 98% of the cooking.

What you’ll need:

1 pack of Del Monte spaghetti merienda pack (about Php 40)
2 teaspoons of Del Monte tomato paste
350 grams of ground beef
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
vienna sausage or hotdog, sliced
1 small garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
a dash of oregano, pepper, and salt

Here’s how we do it at home:
1) Bring some water to a boil before throwing in a pack of Del Monte spaghetti noodles.

How to make spaghetti bolognese

2) Cover and boil for 8 minutes while preparing the sauce.

3) When it’s done, drain noodles and top with a slice of butter to prevent them from sticking together.

4) If your kids like hotdog or sausage in their spaghetti, brown some slices in a teflon pan and set aside.

5) Using the same oil, throw in 350 grams of ground beef with chopped garlic and onions.

6) Add two teaspoons of Del Monte tomato paste, oregano, and pepper.

8) Throw in the sausage or hotdog, add salt to taste, and voila!

Optional: Add Farmer Sanchez.
Cooked with love, this is restaurant-grade spaghetti bolognese, if you ask me!
Perfect bonding food for the kids.

I once saw Kim Jones at a Samsung event and thought she was stunning, even before I found out she is Jericho Rosales’s fiancée.
She apparently has an under-the-radar fashion blog where she wears this outfit in one of her entries:

Kim Jones

What she’s wearing is a Zara jumpsuit, Zara blazer, and Wayne Cooper heels (Photos by Charlie Gomez)

Why I like it so much, I think is because I just recently discovered Grey’s Anatomy.
Yes I just started watching recently. I am now in Season 3.
Kim Jones’s outfit is Margielic and reminds me of Ellen Pompeo in Grey’s Anatomy!!

Kim Jones is prettier though.

The Men of Grey’s Anatomy

I’ve just started Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy. I started late and I don’t mind, because now I can have my Grey’s Anatomy marathons at night while everybody’s sleeping.
In the beginning I thought I would rekindle my crush on Patrick Dempsey since he was one of my crushes in the ’80s.

Patrick Demspey

But honestly, I find his character, Dr. Derek Shepherd so boring. I find his choices of women so boring, and I can’t date a guy who lives in a vehicle.

20100923_xsg_a90_836.jpg

I prefer Dr. Alex Karev (played by Justin Chambers), even though he’s an asshole. At least he’s not boring.

001_103253_D_734

Plus points for having been a Calvin Klein model and looking like a young Marlon Brando.

L-R: Justin Chambers, Marlon Brando

I kind of liked Dr. George O’Malley because kindness is a big turn-on for me. But I couldn’t crush on him fully when I found out actor T.R. Knight is gay.
As a fag hag, I love gay men as friends, but I can’t fall in love with them because it’s useless. I have trained my heart that way.

0000036630_20061221150618

As for Dr. Mark Sloan, no thanks. I don’t find him cute. I don’t find him steamy. I just don’t like.

GREYSANATOMY_Y8_163_007_FULL

I do apologize for not listing any of the African American men, as I do have a preference for white men or Oriental. Sorry, I’m not sorry. But do feel free to vote for your favorite Grey’s Anatomy man in the poll below:

But this cover is really about her sister Jasmine.

HOLA! Premiere Issue Cover

What’s thin and cheesy?

Thin pizza lovers have more to look forward to as Greenwich introduces Pizza Thins in four different flavors:
Signature Special, Hawaiian, Pepperoni and All Meat.
We got to try all four in an impromptu pizza buffet at home.

Greenwich pizza thins

The pizzas come in two sizes: double and barkada

greenwich pizza

We got the smaller size (double)

Greenwich pizza thins

To enjoy them, my husband Jeroen heated up some of the slices, while the kids didn’t mind grabbing them out of the box.
Verdict: The kids and I prefer simple pizza, so we liked Pepperoni best. So cheesy, no wonder kids like it.

Greenwich pizza thins

Jeroen likes many toppings. His favorites were Signature Special and All-Meat.

Greenwich pizza thins

He notes “the right thickness of the crust. I like its crunch when you bite. You can even eat the whole pizza, unlike other thin-crust pizzas where the ends become like cardboard. This one is perfect, with the right amount of toppings that go all the way to the edge of the pizza—another reason to finish every slice.”

Greenwich pizza thins

Our least favorite was Hawaiian, simply because I don’t like pineapple with anything but a dish of rock salt.

Greenwich pizza thins

Introducing Greenwich Pizza Thins are the new wave of Greenwich barkada who join John Lloyd Cruz, Lloyd Zaragoza, Vince Canizares and Mika Lagdameo in a new TV commercial.
They are radio and TV personality Andi Manzano, DJ and host Gino Quillamor, and model/entrepreneur Marco Lobregat.

MAC Cosmetics presents Antonio Lopez

I’m so thrilled to receive makeup from Antonio Lopez x MAC Cosmetics!
Antonio Lopez was one of our idols during my UP College of Fine Arts years in the mid-’80s.
His style was something I could relate to, and my friends and I tried to copy his illustrations.

Antonio Lopez
Antonio Lopez (right) working with Eija Vehka Aho and a young Karl Lagerfeld

During his heyday his work captured the fascination of Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, and launched the
careers of model icons Jerry Hall, Marisa Berenson, Pat Cleveland and more.
Born in 1943 in Utuado, Puerto Rico, Antonio Lopez moved with his family to New York’s Spanish Harlem at the age of seven.
In the late 1950s he attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, where he met his lifelong lover and professional partner, Juan Ramos.
After leaving FIT, he moved on to work for Women’s Wear Daily, where he became the publication’s most famous illustrator. Soon he was offered a position at The New York Times, and later freelanced for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Andy Warhol’s Interview.
His career soared from the ’60s to the ’80s, then in 1984 he was diagnosed with HIV.
He traveled around the world looking for experimental cures, then on March 17, 1987, he died at the young age of 44.

Now MAC Cosmetics captures the legendary illustrator’s vibrant energy, brazen attitude and love of life in a striking color collection featuring: Eyes x 6 Palettes, Lips x 3 Palettes and Face Palettes perfect for highlighting natural tones and contours. Each palette displays the face of one of his muses.
(Eyeshadow: Php 3360 • Lip palette: Php 2200 • Face palette: Php 3700)

What Maisie Knew

Imagine that you’re a five year-old-child living in New York.
Your mother is an ageing rockstar (think Joan Jett) and your father is an English businessman—who are breaking up. And no, they were never married.
So mom kicks out dad, who marries the nanny. Mom needs to go on tour but marries the bartender who works only at night, leaving him to take care of your during the day.
What is life like for this kid?
My friend Yodel urged me to watch this movie, which I did last night, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

what-maisie-knew-film

I don’t wonder any more why God didn’t give me a daughter. I know why and I’m grateful to have been blessed with three boys.
But this movie really breaks my heart. The whole time I kept thinking, if you don’t want your child, please give her to me!!
Onata April plays Maisie, the little girl caught between a custody battle. You will fall in love with her face, her innocence, and fashion style.

What Maisie Knew

Julianne Moore plays the rockstar mom who lives in great Manhattan apartment and has no direction in life

What Maisie Knew

Steve Coogan (left) plays the dad who marries the nanny (Joanna Vanderham) and makes a decision that will change lives drastically

What Maisie Knew

And who is Alexander Skarsgård? I need to watch more of him.
He plays the bartender-turned-stepdad who acts more like a parent than Maisie’s real parents. You will fall in love with him!

“I want to travel for a living!” says my friend’s bio on Instagram.
My friend, Ginggay Joven de la Merced, started working as a teenager in her mom’s PR firm, Visions and Expressions.
We met in the late ’90s when she was working as a Philippine Star columnist.
Now in her 30s, Ginggay functions as a part-time consultant, full-time house manager, mom of two kids, and wife to Noel.

Ginggay dela Merced

Ginggay is one of those people I know who has itchy feet, always thinking of where to travel next.
And she doesn’t just go around Asia for shopping or hoarding objects. The Ginggay I know doesn’t even like shopping. She prefers collecting memories and images.

Ginggay is also one of the first people I know who ever got into Instagram and became obsessed with it.
Her first photo was posted 103 weeks ago. And she doesn’t post food, nail polish or selfies. Instead, she takes her followers on her trips around the world. I find it amazing what an iPhone can do!

I didn’t even know she had it in her to be a talented travel photographer.
Ginggay is truly one of those people I envy because of the way she travels—not that often, but more of quality—even choosing unique hotels online.
She also takes her Instagram account seriously, which is why I’m glad someone finally noticed!
Ginggay is nominated in Style Bible’s Virtual Style Awards.
I even took time to register just to vote for her, so please help me vote because she deserves the recognition!
You can vote for her ten times a day until September 15, 2013.

I feel like giving away stuff again.
It started with a gift pack from Caronia, which includes 6 bottles of nailpolish and an amazing little MP3 player with a great big sound.

Caronia

I love this thing so much, I asked Caronia c/o Geiser Maclang to share some with my readers.
This little boom box comes with a micro SD card that has the new Caronia jingle. But you could also fill it up with your own songs using your computer. I take this little cube to the bathroom because I can’t shower without sound, otherwise weird thoughts will enter my head.

I threw in a couple of CarbTrim carb blockers, which are a great alternative to drinking sweet juices or soda, because it helps block up to 66% of carbs in your meal. Also picked up some cooling sanitary pads in Hong Kong recently, plus a funny iPhone panty (color may vary).

Prizes

Everything goes inside a one of five Rootote bags, including the Tin Inglesias x Rootote bag, which are available on Zalora.

Rootote bags

Such a lucky girl to have her illustration on a Rootote bag. Read about the collaboration HERE.

Can I just say Bea Ledesma is a genius? The venue was genius. The seating arrangement was genius.
So many people were there and we didn’t see all of them!
Everyone came home with a giant swag bag/laundry bag/eco bag designed by Everywhere We Shoot x Bleach Catastrophe.

So today I was staring at the bag and wondering how to carry this around and figured out a way to do it.

She’s the daughter of Janet Lim Napoles, currently the most hated woman in the Philippines.
While mom Janet is in police custody for (probably) having stolen billions from the Filipino people, Jeane is somewhere in Los Angeles doing God knows what.
Here’s a photo of Jeane in a limo posted in her Tumblr last August 2011, and all I can say is, wow legs!

Jeane Napoles

They look unreal—until you see her in photos with various Hollywood celebrities.
While most of us have photos taken with celebs at Madame Tussaud, Jeane Napoles has hers taken with Josh Duhamel (6′ 3½”)

and Zachary Levi (6′ 4″)

and looks like a giant next to Steve Carrell (5′ 8 1/2″)

Justin Timberlake is more or less 6 feet tall

and Jeane seems to be the same height as Blake Lively, who is taller than most of her Gossip Girl co-stars (5′ 10″)

Which leads me to ask: where did she get her height?
OMG Mrs. Napoles is nearly 5’9″!!

Manila’s real-life version of Scandal

While waiting for Season 3 of Scandal on October 3, 2013, I can’t help but think: with all of Janet Lim Napoles’ billions, she could actually hire Olivia Pope to get her out of this mess.
But since Olivia Pope is only fictional, she hired Lorna Kapunan instead.

Lorna Kapunan Olivia Pope

Which leads me to ask:

1) Did she really pay 20 million for Kapunan to take her case?

2) Who are the gladiators behind Kapunan?

Who are the Huck, Quinn, Abby and Harrison of the firm?

3) Is there a special “friendship” between Kapunan and the President? :) (just kidding)
