I Can Be Body Beautiful At Any Age With Wacoal

At these technology-driven age, there are now a lot of ways to stay beautiful and stay young with the proper price tag. But now all are lucky to afford it including me. I gained a lot of weight after giving birth. I noticed that slimming down has become harder than when I was still single, probably because my metabolism slows down as I age. Though I already lost 30lbs, I'm still above my ideal weight. It affected my confidence and self-esteem. I get sad when I see pictures of me when I was still slim and young.

But I came to realized that my worth as a person is more than the size of my waist line or my arms. I embrace the fact that I have beautiful qualities to be proud of and to celebrate with. I have a family that accepts and loves me for who I am and that's the most important thing. These things helped me bring back my confidence to love myself again. It definitely helps more to wear the proper lingerie like Wacoal.

Wacoal products empower al women regardless of age and size. They believe that every women is beautiful. I'm turning 30 real soon and I'm not afraid because I have wonderful support system including Wacoal. Check out this great pair of women in their 30's!

Thank you Wacoal!

Kristina's Inutak Premium

I recently discovered a delicious delicacy called Kristina's Inutak Premium. It's like a pie made of fresh coconut cream mixed with sticky rice. It's really yummy.

It comes with different flavors like classic, queso de bola, corn, tablea, macapuno, langka and classic lite. Classic costs P120 (small) and P350 (big) but the rest of the flavors cost P150 for small and P400 for big. Kinda pricey if you ask me especially since the big one is not really that big for its price. But I would still recommend it since the taste will make up for the lack in size.

You can find Kristina's Inutak at the following daily stores:

• GF Bldg A SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City (near El Pollo Loco)
• 2F Main Bldg SM MOA, Pasay City (Food Court)
• 2F Main Bldg SM North Edsa (near SM Department Store entrance)
• 2F Sm Southmall (near Blue Magic)

Weekend Stores

• GF Glorietta 4, Makati (near Armani Exchange)
• GF Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa (Activity Center)
• Mercato Centrale, BGC Taguig 
• 3F The Podium (near Living Well)

Seafood Pasta in Oil

Thanks to Wanda Cooks for this recipe. So simple but delicious. I made this for Mikeila's 2nd birthday and they loved it. :)

Ingredients:
1kg spaghettini or angel's hair (cooked per package instructions)
seafood (shrimp, squid and canned tuna, drained but reserving the oil)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 whole garlic (or more), minced finely
1 tbsp red chili flakes, minced finely
1 cup dried basil
1 cup dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

How to Cook:

• Warm oil, garlic and red chili flakes in a skillet. Cover and let simmer in low heat for 15 minutes. The oil should barely bubble and make sure the garlic will NOT turn brown.
• Add shrimp and squid and cook in medium-high heat. Add the canned tuna a few minutes after.
• Once cooked, add the basil, parsley and the oil from the canned tuna. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for a few minutes
• Pour over pasta and serve.

Newport Ultra Cinema at Resorts World Manila

I recently won two tickets to the advance screening of Resident Evil: Retribution thru Nuffnang's PLDT myDSL Contest. Best thing about it is that the movie premiere will be held at Newport Ultra Cinema at Resorts World Manila. Raffy and I was excited because of the lazy boy chair and unlimited popcorn and drinks!

I like the cinema because it is comfortable and private with only few seats inside the theater. If you need a popcorn and drink refill, just press the button beside the chair for 3 seconds and the butler will be there to serve you. A couple of times they came in late after pressing the button thrice but at least they still came.

There are three pop corn flavors to choose from, cheese, sour cream and barbecue. Personally I like the sour cream. I got two refills, hehe! The cheese flavored popcorn is too salty for me while the barbecue tastes different. I can't really explain it but it has a strong taste.

Unlimited Popcorn

Ticket price costs P500 for a movie at the ultra cinema with unlimited popcorn and drinks. If you're a popcorn person, then I think that price is worth it especially if you can gobble up 2 or 3 refills. Regular cinema costs around P200-270 depending on the movie.

Thank you Nuffnang and PLDT!
