OOTD: Little Tokyo Adventure

I know this post is super late but I really want to share my experience in Little Tokyo with you, gals! My kada and I went to Little Tokyo in Makati last September 16, 2012 and we had a great time. It was my friends' idea to visit the place since we love Japanese food. Umm... Well, they do. I just love chicken teriyaki but not sushi. :P Anyway, Little Tokyo is an area near Makati Cinema Square consisting of different Japanese restaurants. We ate at Hana and, although the restaurant is small, it was an interesting and enjoyable place to dine in.  Here are some of our photos.

The food were amazing but quite expensive for my taste. Pang-Mcdo lang ako! Hahaha! Nevertheless, I enjoyed the company of my friends. Hana in Little Tokyo serves authentic Japanese meals and what I love about the restaurant and the place itself is its Japanese ambiance. We truly felt we were in Japan for a day. It was an unforgettable experience. There were Japanese people hanging out in the area so it seems legit. HAHA. :D I will definitely visit the place again with my friends and Pangga. 

Here are our other photos. (Photos credit to Jumi Gatmin)

Awkward Hand pose! :P Wearing San San's Sea Green Nail Polish

Peg ko lang iuntog ulo sa poste. LOL. Whatta pose Maggie. >_<

The sun was too bright my eyes looked puffy and smaller. >_<

Before leaving the place, we did some crazy "photoshoot" in the bathroom. :P

OUTFIT OF THE DAY

Blazer: Thrifted (Php 50 lang!), Blouse mom bought for me a long time ago, Skinny Pants from SM Dept. Store, Parisian Wedges 

 Hindi talaga pantay kulay ng katawan ko. I know some people ask me if I use whitening products. I do not deliberately nor religiously use whitening products. I only use what my mom uses since we share the same bathroom. If she uses whitening soaps, great. If not, it's fine with me too. I don't really mind having uneven skin tone. Hindi ko hilig magpayong pwera lang kung sobrang init na nakakapaso na. Sanay kasi ako maglakad-lakad sa mga kalsada at maraming buhat kaya di ko peg magpayong o magtago sa araw. Sa ngayon di ko priority magpaputi kasi mas priority ko kuminis. Haha. I'd rather have darker skin tone but flawless skin. 

Gumaganito ng peg ang posing. Wahaha! Lakas lang ng trip! :P

After eating lunch at Hana, we headed outside to visit Japanese and Korean grocery stores. My friends were looking for Mochi and other Japanese snacks. The prices were ridiculous but that didn't stop them anyway. I did not buy anything except that fish ice cream I've been craving for. Sulit na ang Php 40 kumpara naman sa Magnum Ice Cream. Haha. Ang mamahal ng mga tinapay sa grocery. Kung makamark-up sa presyo, wagas. :P

PRAISEE THE SUNN! Love you Cry!

Feeling nagtravel papuntang Japan. Turista ang peg.

I saw a cosmetic rack in the grocery that carries Darkness False Eyelashes! They are relatively affordable considering that these lashes are quite popular because of their quality. I didn't buy any cosmetics though. They're not within my budget range. Haha! 

Before going home, we went back to Hana in Little Tokyo to try the famous Shaved Ice Cream.   

DELICIOUS!  I miss my friends and I hope to see them again soon! We want to try the grilled food in Little Tokyo. In our next visit, we'll be inviting more friends and of course, Pangga is included. <3 data-blogger-escaped-center="center" data-blogger-escaped-nbsp="nbsp"> Thank you for visiting my blog! Stay happy and beautiful!

OOTD: Wild Thursday

Hello, girls! I've been MIA for months now so I want to make it up by posting an outfit of the day. And yes... the photos were taken yesterday. Hihihi!

When you're in law school, every day is recitation day. Every week is hell week. So I was very happy when we had a ceasefire yesterday. YAHOO! Nani and I took the chance to go to Gateway, Cubao and see the movie "The Dark Knight Rises". It was GREAT! The best batman movie I've seen. If you haven't seen it, give yourself a treat and go to a movie house to see the movie. Don't buy the pirated DVD to watch it because this movie is totally worth every penny. I have the same sentiment with Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Inception. The experience you get in a movie theater is incomparable especially when the movie is that great. So please see The Dark Knight Rises!

Anyway, here are my outfit photos yesterday. I used my new camera MV800 Samsung. (I bought it on sale so.. haha happy indeed) No more mirror photos. :P

Top: Oversized Vest, (not sure if it is my mom's or one of my brother's old vest)

Bottom: Harem Pants, 168 Divisoria

Shoes: Brown Wedges, Parishian Shoes

Accessories: Mom’s necklace, Belt from Greenhills

Nails: Bobbie in Flower Girl

Makeup for the day:

Face:

Maybelline BB stick in Fresh

James Copper Jazzy Cream Foundation used as concealer

Neutrogena BB Cream for the dewy effect

Fanny Seranno Two way Cake foundation in Silk as setting powder

E.L.F Healthy Bronzing Powder in Luminance used as highlighter

Ever Bilena 3D foundation for Dark Skinned used for contouring face

Eyes:

Nichido Mineral Eye Pencil in Tiger used as eyeliner and eyebrow pencil

In2it Brow palette (used the black powder)

Maybelline Cat Eye Mascara

Ever Bilena 3D Foundation for Dark Skinned (used the lightest shade as eye shadow)

Lips:

Nichido Lipliner in Rosette

Nichido Pencil Concealer in Beige (used on my upper lip for a nude effect)

Maybe you notice that I used quite a number of products for my face. Please don't think I pile all those make up products on my face. On the contrary, I use very little of each product and concentrate on areas that I think they work best. For the Maybelline BB stick, I only apply it on the inner part of the face (under my eyes, apples of the cheeks and areas of my mouth). I noticed that it brightened my face when used on those areas but I looked pale if used on the entire face. 

Then I use the Jazzy Cream Foundation as concealer as it is the best product I have that has a great coverage even on problematic skin. The only thing I don't like about it is that it can look really heavy so I only use it as a concealer. I don't like using it on my entire face since I want my face too look light and fresh. I'm looking for a better concealer though... :P

For the dewy effect, which is optional, I use any BB cream I have and apply it on my cheeks. I have combination oily skin so I'm careful on using products with high SPF. Anyway, I want my face to glow and do not want to appear oily. 

Finally, I use a highlighter and a bronzer. I apply highlighter to emphasize some of the features of my face. I apply highlighter on the upper part of my cheeks to make it look more full and plump. I also apply some on the tip and bridge of my nose. To emphasize the shape of my face, I apply bronzer on my forehead, temples and chin. If you want that natural effect, just apply it lightly and avoid harsh and structured contouring. :P

Ang guapo ni pangga... I know he'll be a great lawyer. <3
