MIA; but im back and as promised..

Oh yes, I've been missing in action cause I've been busy with language school, and Julia got sick again :( But she's fine now thank God. So months ago, I posted a blog post that when I reach at least 60 followers via GFC before my birthday, I'll be doing a international giveaway. But I wasn't able to reach that number, so instead of hosting an international giveaway, I picked ONE active follower and she will receive a little something from me since it's my birthday in 2 days! What is it? SURPRISE! I'll just request the lucky blogger to post a short haul of what she will receive from me =)



And the lucky active follower is............ *drum roll*

Ms. Janet Lao of Journey on Beauty

Congratulations! Please do leave your email address on the comment box, so I'll know where to contact you =) Yey!

What's your favorite scent?

Wearing perfume EVERY day was kind of not usual for me. But there was a certain scent that I literally used like everyday, at school, or just when going out. Sharing you my top 5 favorite scents, since I've tried tons of colognes/perfumes, there are certain scents that I would happy to repurchase over and over again.

What I love to repurchase:

5. Clinique Happy heart - mild scent, and I love the smell as it fades within the day.

4. Clinique Happy - the original scent for women by Clinique

3. Clinique Happy to be (Limited Edition) I think it was discontinued 2009? Im not sure. Orange-y smell, not too strong or too fruity! Perfect for everyday use. Was a bit disappointed when Clinique decided to discontinue it. Ugh, I can't explain how much I loved it!!

2. Versace Bright Crystal (Fave scent as of the moment), introduce to me by the seller of perfumes, since I was torn between buying Bvlgari Omnia, or this. But wow! The seller introduced me to a new kind of scent, I'm so loving it now. I like and love how the smell fades, and really lasts long, not just even a day!

1. D&G Light blue (all time fave) - No wonder, I always have this with me. It's just my ultimate fave, maybe because of the "light" scent. I don't know but I love it!

scents I have now, from L-R
Clinique happy approx 48USD
D&G Light blue 85USD from Doha airport
Givenchy - given to me by mother in law
Versace - bought this from an online seller for Php3100 approx 73USD
Juicy perfume- gift from the gorgeous ninang Anne, its a box of 3. I gave the other one to my mom.

How about you what's your favorite scent? Share it by leaving a omment below! I would love to try new scent!! :)

Movie date night FOTD

Surprisingly the hubby asked me if I want to see a movie last night, since we got 2 free tickets from his work. Of course, I said yes cause I want to loosen up and relax a little. We dine out at Nodee Asian Cooking restaurant near the movie house, and it was a bit pricey for an order of tempura maki sushi! What do we expect? It's a restaurant! Ha ha ha Comparing the price on the other fastfood sushi bar we often order to, 115 kr (approx 19 US $) vs. 60 kr (approx 10 US $). The pricey sushi is delicioso, well it must be! We enjoyed the yummy asian dinner, while spending quality time together as a couple.  And after dinner, we rushed to the movie house because the movie was at 8pm. We chose to watch "The Hobbit", and it was a good 3D movie! And we were 'bitin'! Ahh, looking forward now to part 2 and 3. Anyhow, gonna share with you my FOTD last night, too bad I can only took shots on yellow lights :( So obviously the look is not that visible, but I swear it's one of my favourite looks I created! Fresh and simple!
