Make Up Of The Day

Today I decided to share with you guys my #MOTD (Make Up Of The Day)

The cat eye is THE eyeliner for the year (I think it will be here for a while). So I wanted something not too dramatic and something that would make my eyes pop, because I didn't sleep well last night. So here was my MOTD:

TV Show Bullying Adopted Children

After just writing a blog post on adoption, I chanced upon a TV show on ABS CBN called Hawak Kamay and what the "3 mean girls" in the movie were saying to this other girl was exactly what I was talking about. "Pinamigay siya ng mommy niya. Hindi siya mahal ng mommy niya." (Her mom gave her away. Her mom doesn't love her) And other insults about being adopted were being said.

I grew in her heart, not in her tummy

I am adopted. Yes, shocking as it may be, I am. I look exactly like my mom and sometimes like my dad so people sometimes don’t believe that I am. 

BINGO for a Cause

I am a part of Zonta Club of Muntinlupa and Environs (ZCME), which is a chapter of Zonta International. We are a group of professionals and executives working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy.

Goodbyes

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. Mark’s uncle passed away last Tuesday and it just didn’t feel right.

Uncle Bobby, we call him Apè, was such a jolly man. At family parties, he always greets you with a smile, a hug and a “Lai Cha!” which means let’s eat! His love for his wife, kids and grand kids was beyond compare. One of the eulogies was given by his cousin, Julie Yap Daza and she said it best,

Restaurant Review: Bamba Bistro

I’ve eaten in Bamba Bistro several times and I have never been disappointed with the food. So tonight, when my sister in law (SIL), Kat, (who I just learned that, in Chinese, Mark and I have to call her Aso) asked us where we should go for a mini despedida, I immediately thought of Bamba. 

I called to reserve a table as we were a pretty big party, it was a breeze and the staff that took my reservation was pleasant and helpful. 

When we got there, we had a whole little room to ourselves and that was great as we were able to make noise and talk with out disturbing other people. The ambiance was perfect. Clean and modern. Chic. In the heart of BF, this place is definitely not your ordinary hole in the wall restaurant. Just like their streamer outside says, it’s not your average bistro around the corner. 

Hello World Wide Web

Hello everyone!

I am back in the blogesphere and ready to roll.

This blog will be a mix of my life as a housewife, a work-a-holic woman who has put her stilettos to rest, a makeup artist who loves to see her clients smile and a sports aficionado, just like her dad.

I will try my best to give you honest reviews of restaurants (mostly here in the Southern part of Metro Manila), make up brands and products. I also love to entertain, so expect to see some posts of recipes and entertaining tips. I'll also be posting my makeup work.

Basically, this is my world now, enjoy reading!

Besos,
Tina
