Have you tasted this? Mcdo Oreo Coffee Swirl

I have for the longest time, wanted to try Mcdo's 'Swirly' line but haven't got the chance until today.

Hooray for the newest addition to the Mcdonald's menu, the 'swirls' are sooooo yum! As expected, I got the Oreo COFFEE Swirl. The verdict: sinfully gooooood!


Try it for yourself TODAY!

Because fruits are fun!

I found myself taking a roadtrip to Pangasinan on Valentine's weekend and while traveling, we chanced upon the cutest and most bizarre Watermelons I have ever seen!

Yes! They're yellow! *gasp! Apparently, they're a Taiwanese import of some sort produced locally in Tarlac. They taste the same as the green ones, less sweeter actually, save for its unique appearance, it's actually a total rip-off! @_@

It would have been so much cooler if the insides were yellow too but sadly they haven't been genetically modified that way--yet. So for now, we have to settle for the Green Watermelons with Yellow insides:
Same thing, not too spectacular save for the color. The great thing about this though is that it's seedless! So hooray for lazy fruit eaters like me! lol!

If ever you're traveling to the North, try to keep your eyes open for these cuties in Tarlac. You won't miss them, they're too much of an attention-grabber! :)

Bathroom QUEEN?

This one has got me laughing in the inside:

Oops! Sorry, placed the watermark right on the Label. Hahaha! It reads: Handy Spray TOILET SEAT SANITIZER

Are you laughing now? Well, even if I find it a lil' bit ridiculous, I shamelessly bought this little baby and took it for a test drive. So how was it? Err, aside from the fact that I had a "Paris Hilton" moment in the bathroom spraying left and right, I don't really think it did any good... or harm. I really wouldn't know. It's not like I actually saw the bacteria scampering away or something. But it did make the room smell "fresher" what with its lemony fresh scent. Err... does that count?

I am lost for words on what to say about this. I mean, when do you ever sit on public toilets anyway? And if I spray this, would it actually remove the dirt? Nyahay. But then maybe, it's too early to tell. One of these days, I might find myself in a ridiculously dirty washroom and this little baby might hypothetically "save my life". Who knows? Right?

Movie Review: Invictus

I remember the first poem I volunteered to read in front of people was by William Ernest Henley. I was enrolled in Speechpower then and our mentor asked who wanted to read the poem Invictus. It was a no brainer for me then. I thought that poem represented me in so many ways and I wanted to be the one to read it out loud on one of our class "performances". I remember that day so well... much like I remember that beautiful poem.

...I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

When I heard about the movie Invictus, I immediately wanted to watch it. The title was calling out to me, I didn't even bother asking what the movie was about. To make it short, I got hold of the film and watched it over the weekend.

The plot is simple: It was the story of the South African World Cup win back in '95. It tells of how their President, Nelson Mandela inspired the African team. I guess you can say, it is a historic-slash-political flick. But to be truly honest, I think it's much more than that. Indeed it is rich in history and full of fascinating facts but it was also filled with heart and was incredibly heart-warming.

The integration of the poem by Henley also added to the whimsical appeal of the film. I feel so much more attached to the poem now more than ever because I saw its very essence come to life in the movie. The poem was interpreted so beautifully and the story told masterfully that the entire film makes me feel happy. I mean, often literary pieces that turns into movies gets lost in translation but this one's an exception. Believe me when I say it was incredible.

Morgan Freeman also did a fabulous job as Nelson Mandela. He was so believable! Matt Damon was equally amazing too! This is the first time I saw him with new eyes. He was so fresh and natural in the film that he looked like he was just a budding actor. He wasn't overacting and he was so believable! Those boys deserve acting awards for this film I'm telling you!

The soundtrack was equally amazing too! The songs they picked were so appropriate and moving! I am actually now in the process of downloading the tracks. lol! :) This film definitely is a keeper. It's one of those flicks that converts you. In this case, it has convinced me that the person I should be voting for this election is Nelson Mandela. Kidding! But someone like him would really be great for our country! Watch the film and I'm sure you'll agree :)

Invictus opens in Manila on February 17 so you all know where you should be on that date okay? :)

PK rating: 10/10!

Orange you glad you sanitized?

The first time I saw someone put alcohol in a spray bottle, I found it really amusing. I thought it was a funky idea co'z it made it a little bit more "posh". Well, apparently I wasn't the only one amused by it co'z on my next trip to the grocery, I found spray bottles of alcohol! (sorry can't remember the brand) ...but that's not what I am so excited to tell you about! I'm here to share with you the funkiest hand sanitizer spray I found in a recent "mini mart" trip:

Ta-dah! Introducing, MWAH! Hand Sanitizer spray in Orange Juice scent! I'm telling you, when I saw this little baby, my eyes grew wide in glee! I was so excited! Well, well, well, this baby didn't disappoint! It smells soooooo good! It doesn't kid when it says it has orange juice scent. It really does smell like orange juice!

I am so in love with it, especially since I like the smell of oranges and this one takes me back to my elementary days sipping Zesto Orange. lol!

I showed my cousin this the moment I got it and she says there are other variants. She claims her classmate uses one in Melon scent. Oooooh! I would love to get a hold of that too! SRSLY, I think I've found my perfect disinfecting tool right here! woot, woot! :)
