Hooked on Dimpy's

Dimpy Camara, you are an angel sent to fill my days with sweetness! I am obsessed with your Frozen Brazo de Mercedes!

It's layers of amazing goodness! A graham crust, mantecado ice cream, custard then glorious merengue! Super yummy!

It's a little melted here co'z the trip home just took so darn long! But after refreezing it, it was back to its  original beautiful form :)

Dimpy's Frozen Brazo de Mercedes is available at her house in Dasmarinas Village, Makati. Just call/text to confirm availability and you're good to go! Don't worry, it's very easy to find. Plus the guards at the gate are helpful too, just say you're going to Dimpy's :)


The cake comes in one size (9x9) and costs 650php per box. Other products are also available, just call to get their full menu :)

Furry

There are days when Manila's weather allows for Western clothing to be worn out--and this is one of those days.

 

Decided to take my faux fur boots out for a spin. Bought this in Beijing when we found ourselves in the dead of December. I've always wanted to wear it again in Manila but somehow the weather didn't allow it until today. 

 I love that it's not raining, it's just cold and gloomy-- much like how it was in Beijing.

Sticking with the whole "China trip" walk down memory lane, I chose to wear my Beijing 2008 Olympic dog tag. Isn't it the cutest? It's so quirky and fun! 

I am so loving the weather! I know this is the closest we'd get to a "winter" but I'm okay with that! It's better than nothing at all :)

Someone Like You

I'm stressed out and to pass time, I'm sharing with you a cover of Adele's Someone Like You that Sophia and I have recently been going gaga over:

Enjoy!

Never mind, I'll find someone like you 

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,

Giveaway Alert: My Memories Suite

As technology compels us to turn into a paperless society, things that used to drive creativity in us has lost its spark, some even fading into oblivion-- just like scrapbooking.

I admit, I never got into the whole scrapbooking phase, not because I didn't like creative outputs (I'm actually a sucker for anything that involves using my hands), I just wasn't consistent enough to create an entire "book". Well, I think I have to give scrapbooking a second chance-- now that I've been introduced to My Memories :)

My Memories Suite is a digital scrapbooking software that enables you to create digital scrapbooks just like you would with papers and glue! The software is really easy to use, and it even comes with a LOT of design templates to choose from to make scrapbooking a breeze!

Don't worry, it's not just for scrapbooking enthusiasts. Like me, you can use the software to create photo collages like the one I posted above for blogging purposes or other projects like posters, announcements and set cards. The best thing about it is that the software allows you to do these and more even with little know-how on graphics!--everyone would think you're a pro! Really, the software is SUPER!

That being said, we're giving you all a chance to WIN your very own My Memories Suite!

--yes, that's a $40.00 value right there!

Joining is super easy, just go to the My Memories Suite website, pick your favorite design template, tell us why it's your favorite and add in the phrase: Today, I choose to create beautiful memories.

Easy peasy! Deadline for entries is on 10 October 2011! Seriously, this contest is too easy to pass up, so join now! :)

No Other Women

...and because Soan and I are supporters of our local artists, we went and watched No Other Woman last Saturday while Quiel threatened to rain on our parade.

This post is meant to be an outfit post so to just briefly comment on the film, we say it's one of the better local love flicks we've seen the past few months :) --and oh, congratulations Anne! Didn't know you had it in you!

Ninin's outfit:
Woke up that morning feeling like a Ninja (or Nininja as I call myself). I wanted to wear something with an Asian twist to it while maintaining a tough feel. I remembered this kaftan I bought a few months back and thought it was the perfect top to wear for that "Nininja" vibe I was going for.

Kaftan: Ziya | Shorts: Bangkok | Gladiator sandals: Parisian

It's sheer and frilly and with the strong winds, I felt like I was the girl in the "house of flying daggers"-- and oh, because of Quiel, I soon felt that I was indeed wearing something thin and see through-- ang lamig! Lol!

Sophia's outfit:

The night before our meet up, I already had an outfit in mind. But when I woke up, the clothes I wanted to wear were all crumpled. So I tried a handful of different outfits and ended with this..

Lace top: Love Bayo | Shorts: H&M | Bag: Michael Kors | Studded Flats: Cole Vintage

Looking at our pictures, my outfit did end up looking dainty and edgy at the same time (exactly what I wanted.:) ) I just needed to be careful and not to ruin the lace by getting caught on my bag's hardware or worse, on another person's bag or jewelry! Haha.

A big shout out to our close friend, and self-professed TMF fan, Dia! :)

Cheers to cheesy films, tropical depressions and best friends! :)
