Birthday High: Tea Time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

02.15.2013 by Leah //

One of my birthday wishes for this year is to finally experience tea time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Greenbelt 5.    And I got my birthday wish last Saturday when AJ and I were able to score seats for us and my college close pal - and now AJ's Starwars buddy - Pia. We took up Pia's suggestion to try 5 tea varieties - a mix of black, green and fruit teas - and started ... READ MORE

My ‘Anti-Valentine’ Gift

02.14.2013 by Leah //

Happy Hearts' Day, everyone! I always associate Valentine's Day with roses and chocolates, so you can imagine my happy, unexpected surprise when I received this 'anti-Valentine' gift from one of our senior officers at the office: It's a bag of sea salt!  Hahaha!  Something salty instead of sweet!  How novel can that be? Isn't that sweet?   =)   ... READ MORE

Jacobo the Heartbreak Kid

02.13.2013 by Leah //

This video is so cute - perfect for Valentine's Day! http://youtu.be/xvDOiFv6dac The video was shot at different SM Supermalls and being a frequent shopper there, me wonders how I would react if Jacobo singled me out and handed me a stem of rose.    I will probably smother him with kisses right there and then! Happy Hearts' Day, dear readers!   ... READ MORE

Sweet Birthday Gifts

02.13.2013 by Leah //

It's been a week since my birthday and I am still feeling high over the (almost) week-long celebration I had!    Not to mention the sweet gifts I got from my family and friends =) From AJ, I got this FitFlop pair in perfect pewter color.  I've been eyeing this pair for some time and I'm so happy I now have it! I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs.   It's ... READ MORE

A Sumptuous Birthday!

02.11.2013 by Leah //

I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way.    It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!).    I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and  for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ...

Starbucks finally opened in Vietnam!

02.10.2013 by Leah //

Starbucks opened its FIRST store in Vietnam - the country with a unique coffee drinking culture - last February 1, 2013. My friend Pia, who works there, braved the long line of people who waited for the store's opening   =) Pia is in Manila right now and we met up yesterday at TWG Tea Salon for a belated birthday celebration and she handed me these as birthday gifts:  ...

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

02.09.2013 by Leah //

Kung Hei Fat Choi! It's the eve of the Chinese New Year and in a few hours we'll be welcoming the Year of the Snake!   It's my year so let's toast to that! Some two weeks ago, AJ and I were at Greenhills with Frances and Vince (where we found our Union Jack storage chest) and we passed by our suking feng shui store, Bensani, to ask about the lucky elements for this year ...

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

02.08.2013 by Leah //

If you love cupcakes then you must check out this new place at Glorietta 4 called Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.  But I warn you,  it's not exactly a place where your boyfriend or husband will feel comfortable staying in for long.   The place is too pretty and dainty and very feminine - the kind of place I'll want to hang out with my girlfriends. Let's check out the ... READ MORE
