The NEW Greenwich

I have one vivid memory of Greenwich, that time when I was a little, in a parking lot of some carnival, it was my first bite into a pizza. The flavor was "smoky" and "toasted" and I loved it. Now Greenwich has evolved into it's best phase ever, as a Fast Casual Dining place where friends can pass the time over delicious and affordable food.

Yesterday, I was invited by Greenwich to their new concept store near the Heart Center, and this is what I discovered.

And these are what I enjoyed.


Best Lasagna Ever


Shawarma Pizza


Ganache

I was so full yesterday I swear, I don't want to eat any more today. Being a blogger is quiet FATTENING but I love it. Thanks Greenwich! :)

Takaw - Chips, V-Cut, and Junk Food

I can't take how much takaw I've become, I crave lots of food - different types from healthy to junk. Last night I was forcing Az to eat midnight snack with me, I badly wanted a hamburger with french fries but it was 12 midnight. So I had some rice and my favorite dish laing, I was not happy after that so I took a chocolate covered wafer bar from Santi's to share with Az.

Today I could not think of anything else but V-Cut dipped in mayo and catsup. I asked Az to buy me some after I walked the dog. I made an effort today to walk walk walk even when my ankles are hurting (we got lost last week in Makati and had to walk a mile). We had 3 bags of chips and I devoured 1 bag by myself in front of the TV.

I asked some friends what their favorite chips are and here is how our conversation went:

What is your favorite CHIPS? vcut, tortillas, piattos, etc.

Suzaku Lace says dip natin sa cheesewiz! or catsup and mayo wee!

UrMajesty_Sire says vcut dipped in sourcream!

Tagaytay 2009

Mama, Liza, Azrael, Me, and Kuya Bernard went to Tagaytay one Monday morning. Our mission is to eat at Josephine's and have a fun relaxed time with the family.



At Josephine's after eating, the three of us took turns jumping in front of the camera. Az brought his tripod. I am very frustrated because I feel heavy when I jump and I look like a frog heehee but it was fun taking these photos!



Mama enjoyed her fresh coconut and Kuya Bernard enjoy pointing to the volcano.



After the lunch, we passed by a hotel being constructed and Mama thought it was a condominium with units for sale. We stopped by to ask because she really wants a place here. Turns out it is a hotel and the sales lady accompanied us to another building which is their condo version.



It was nice but Liza and I investigated the place and took lots of photos to "feel" if it was worthy to be called second home, naks! Here is Liza and me re-enacting washing of the dishes while talking behind the sink.



Of course there's the photo beside the fireplace and the swimming pool.



All we can say is that the weather is lovely. We then continued to the zoo since Az has not been there and POOR ANIMALS! They are in little smelly cages they can barely move and all they can step on are iron bars and cement when they are surrounded with the mountain. I hope PETA visits Residence Inn Zoo.

Anyway, Mama picked up more plants and enjoyed looking at the flowers. We went home with many plants, fruits, and goodies from Good Shepherd.



It was such a great time with the family! I love my life suuuuppeerrr...

Photoshoot with Niccolo Cosme

At the Globe One Youth Headshot Clinic in Capones.

With fashion photographer, Niccolo Cosme

Launches, Fashion Shows and Events

At the Museum

Ola amigas, dora and boots! It's 2:30AM and I just finished updating Style and Relax with the latest fashion show that happened last night at the Glass Garden. As usual, this week was fun-filled and literally event-full.

Glass Garden with Azrael

This morning, I left the house early to go to the Manila Contemporary Museum which was hidden somewhere in Magallanes. The place was awesome! and Globe turned it into a product launch venue.

I met my former boss there and a handful of new persons. I will feature the event soon on Style and Relax, a lot of ladies looked nice in their outfit during the launch.

Opening and blessing of Walter Mart Santa Maria

Would you believe that I also reached Bulacan area? I went there for the opening of a new lifestyle mall - Walter Mart and I was reminded of when SM Bacoor first opened. I could feel the excitement and the enthusiasm of the people in Bulacan as they flock Walter Mart for the first time. Again, more on that soon.

At Red Box with Desiree de Valle, Oyo Boy Sotto, and Erich Gonzales

The other day, I met celebrities at the karaoke party of TV5 at Red Box in Greenbelt too. I was speechless because Ejay (winner of PBB) dropped by and I swear I love his looks. I got to interview Nina Jose and Erich Gonzales though. Got to bring home a gift basket from Santi's Deli, thanks Myk! :) My mama loves the grocery showcase haha ^^

I keep my mama happy with all the loot, tonight she got a digital photo frame which she always wanted. Now I have to recharge it and fill it with her and Anya's travel photos.

If you notice I keep a balance of the stories I feature on Style and Relax. I'm very much encouraged to keep the blog in tip top shape especially when I receive "love emails" from readers! Thank you very much, I never imagined random people will actually write to me that they are looking forward to my updates and for me to keep it up. It feels like Cloud 9! :)

Now I feel like the travelling gnome. Good night! :)

Make Up Day

Rissa and Marie Calica my two fab fairies for the day!

I know nothing about makeup, so when the opportunity to spend a day with Marie Claire's Beauty Editor, Marie Calica arrived, I said YES! They needed a model for a beauty workshop coming on March 2.

At the Tea Party in an undisclosed location

In college, I loved prettifying but when work kicked in, I had make up and style amnesia. My style is now in check but make-up skills? forget it. My face was so happy to be brushed and colored again with MAC, La Mer, Shiseido - yes that kind of make-up.

totally mismatched outfit, blame the virus but the pool looks divine!

Good thing I had an afternoon tea party to attend, so the make-up was put to great use :) I looked pretty (ahem) at Tamera Online's launch somewhere in Makati. It is an online make-up store and that's so perfect! I didn't look kawawa and naive about make-up.
