Animal Coin Purses from Gucci

11.16.2011 by Leah //

Moby Dick Leather and Canvas Coin Purse.    Lady Bug Leather coin purse:     Now, you can bet that these purses are still worth more than the amount of coins they could possibly hold hehe.   Both are available at Net-A-Porter. ... READ MORE

Banana Chocnut Trifle (from Yummy Magazine)

11.14.2011 by Leah //

Thanks to Yummy Magazine, I was able to make my first dessert last Saturday!   And it was a success! The recipe is called Banana Chocnut Trifle and it's from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine (bought on sale): For this simple recipe, you will need:   4 bananas (cut into 1/4-inch thick slices),  8 large Chocnut (broken into pieces), 3 thick slices pound cake or any ...

Our Christmas Bayong

11.14.2011 by Leah //

I fell in love with the Abel Iloco blankets I ordered from Peach and Pink last month, so when my boss said he's going to Vigan (his hometown) for a much-deserved R&R, I asked if he could buy abel iloco blankets for me.   He very kindly agreed so yehey, I have the blankets I need to complete my Christmas gifts! I got them all in white - because they look immaculately ... READ MORE

Food Post: Kimono Ken

11.13.2011 by Leah //

Last Friday we had lunch at Kimono Ken, thanks to our boss who treated us there. Here are some of the food I had - all good, if I must say: Tofu Steak.  Mixed Sushi Platter. Kani Salad.   Ebi Tempura.    Gyoza.    Equally good was their chicken teriyaki which I wasn't able to take pictures of because it was immediately wiped out. I'll definitely ... READ MORE

Christmas Lights at Ayala Avenue

11.12.2011 by Leah //

Christmas in the Philippines officially start in November, right after All Saints' Day.   One indication that Christmas is just around the corner is when Ayala Avenue's lamp posts are brightened up with pretty lights, and traffic becomes your worst nightmare.   I like this year's design - a mix of stars that look like snowflakes.   They're very pretty and cool to the eyes - ...

One Day by David Nicholls

11.09.2011 by Leah //

I've just finished this book and I totally love it - the story, the writing style of David Nicholls, the characters.  Just everything about this book is brilliant! Now, I am not really a fan of books-turned-into-a-movie (except for the Harry Potter books) but when I learned that Anne Hathaway got the role of Emma Morley,  I know I just have to watch the book's film ...

Books for Sale

11.07.2011 by Leah //

I know this post is kinda off, but just to let you know, I sell my old books at eBay to be able to buy new titles hehe. I love books but we don't a library in which to store all of them in.   And with the rising prices of books today, I find it practical to re-sell those that I'm done with, especially since I'm not the type who will re-read a book again and again.   Lastly, ...
