We spent our last day in Osaka at Universal Studios Japan (USJ). Despite having explored already some parts of USJ the previous day (see related post here), AJ and I still went there early. We had a quick breakfast at a McDonald's restaurant we found just outside USJ, before starting our day there. The early morning crowd was kinda thick already - even at 9:00 ... READ MORE
Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017
My friends were not surprised to learn that I registered for Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017. I am a big fan of Hello Kitty so this event is something I would not pass up, even though I don't like running. This is also the first time I am joining a fun run event, so the idea of running with Hello Kitty excited me no end. Registration was done online so it was hassle-free. I ... READ MORE

Haven't done this in a while. The past weeks have been full of random food and shopping discoveries, as you can very well see in my Instagram album.

I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs. It's ... READ MORE

New Discoveries at Starbucks
After introducing the sinful Whoopie Pie which AJ and I love to bits, Starbucks has introduced a new dessert that is just as sinful as the Whoopie Pie, only this one is an instant favorite: the Mocha Silvana. What's not to love about this one? Unlike your typical silvana which is made of very rich buttercream sandwiched between two cashew meringue wafers, this one has a ... READ MORE
