Looking for a perfect gift for your dad, husband, grandpa, uncle?


A house with a good foundation can surpass any environmental obstacle or challenge. This is the same with a family that has a father which stand as a strong foundation. Having a father can bring you strong family ties and can overcome problems encountered at everyday life. Thus, this Father's day we should give importance to the one who have been working hard to support the needs of the family. Our one and only ever supportive dad, papa, husband, uncle, tito, grandpa, lolo and soon to be fathers.

Thus, if you have the budget you could give him these great pieces that are available in the market. Happy shopping!

I was really amazed with the power of  iWhite Nose pack the first time I tried it. I placed some amount of cream in my nose and waited for 15-30 minutes to let it dry.

the BUZZ: BAYO ad campaign

Few days ago was a controversial week for BAYO. It was out in the news regarding their new ad campaign "What's your mix?." Actually the ad meant to celebrate uniqueness no matter what your mix. However, some had discussions on defense of Pinoy pride, implications of racism and accusations that the ad is promoting prostitution. Some also have indicated the poor writing transition of mixing of races and mixing and matching of clothes.

With this controversy, the Bayo have issued a statement that they deeply apologize for the message of their campaign. They would like also to express their regrets to those who have offended or felt discriminated. They have always taken pride in pro-Filipino and believe that being a Filipino will always make yo 100% beautiful.

Chowking's Chow Pao

Chow Pao is the newest addition to Chowking's menu. It consists of a chinese bun, sauteed vegetables, and either chicken, beef, or sausage. Chow Pao has 4 different variants and they are Chinese Sausage, Braised Chicken, Chunky Beef, and Chinese Sausage Special. You can grab one now at a price of P25. Affordable right?! Yes it is, for this delicious treat.

Review:

I decided to order the braised chicken since I knew it would be delicious. The chinese bun tasted like the dough used for siopao. It is soft and very tasty to eat. The inside consist of braised chicken, cabbage, tofu and some sesame seeds. As I can see in the commercial, the sauteed vegetables have carrots in it but I didn't see one on my Chow Pao. However, without the carrots my Chow Pao is still awesome. The chicken was tender and flavorful. As I was eating it bite after bite, I remember the taste of chopsuey placed inside the dough of a siopao. I never knew it would taste that good. I'm planning to try their other variants on my next stop to Chowking. Price is at P49 with no drink.

Review:

I was indeed love at first taste with Kopiccino. What I liked most was the mild coffee taste, the milky foam and the extra choco granule that you can sprinkle on top. It's also not that sweet which I like my coffee to be. Whenever, I'm having a taste of it I feel drinking a cup of coffee from Starbucks, Coffeebreak, Bluejay, and many other coffee shops. It's also very affordable and price is at P8 per sachet.

Iloilo's Hungry Ninja Pt 2

I decided to eat their again for the fourth time because I couldn't get enough of their meals. I was interested with their other dishes because they all look yummy and delicious. I also liked their budget friendly meals and comfortable ambiance. 

2pcs. Original Chicken with rice

Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich

Banana Fritters with Ube ice cream

Their lovely chairs and tables.

Their interesting wall telling the origin of Hungry Ninja.

Review:

• 2pcs. Original Chicken with rice- the chicken tasted good and savory. Price is at P24 with no drinks.

• Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich- I decided to taste their sandwich since I really like their Asian rice version of Chicken Teriyaki. However, I was a little bit disappointed with the sandwich. The bun was not soft and easy to chew. The chicken was okay but they have paired something with it which I didn't like at all. Price is at P29 with free orange juice.

• Banana Fritters with Ube ice cream- It was very yummy. The bananas were fried and then top with ube ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Price is at P32.

• Spices and Herbs (not in picture)- It is an Asian rice like chao fan. It is placed in a bowl and mixed with pork and spices. I thought it has just a chili taste but eating it bite after bite left me with a spicy taste. I didn't finish my meal after all.

• Chicken Curry (not in picture)- tasted good but a little bit spicy for me.
