Last February 20, i was happy to see my name in a Kiehl's photo post, it turns out I'm one of the Challenge takers for their Half-Face Challenge. So yesterday, I went to Kiehl's SM Aura and one of the staff Ms. May was very accommodating and fun as she helped me in the challenge.
After the usual interview, she let me try Kiehls Precision Lifting and Pore Tightening Concentrate, a clinically tested serum that restores elasticity for more toned, uplifted skin. She applied it to my half-face and the result, after a few minutes, was amazing. I can feel my skin stretching and becoming firmer. I'm pretty impressed with it especially when she applied another product, the Super Multi-Corrective Eye Opening Serum around my eye area and showed me how to massage the area with serum.
She then let me try other products which she thinks is appropriate for me. And she gave me a full facial! My skin goes to luminous and hydrated in just a few minutes! Can you imagine if i continue to use these products, even if it means spending lots for this?

Maybe i'm being influenced by all the korean dramas I've been watching lately but if you're a K-Drama addict like me I know you have moments when you feel hungry and really want to try all the foods you've been seeing in the drama. I just wish there's a delivery near my place.
So here it is, the top 5 korean dishes i love to try:
Dakgangjeong: 닭강정 (Crunchy Korean Fried Chicken)
Kimbap: 김밥
Jjajangmyeon: 짜장면 (Noodles with blackbean sauce)
Ddeokbokki: 떡볶이 (Spicy Rice Cake)
Korean Omelet Roll 계란말이
I love looking at photograph, especially old photos. I am amazed at how the camera captured that perfect moment and froze it for all time. And when you look at it again, you remember when that photo was taken and how you feel during that time. Same with historical photo, it makes me especially happy to see history and that somehow a part of that era was frozen for everyone to enjoy and look at.
While i was reading this post, i saw two interesting photos that made my day.
Every movie buffs know the MGM logo, a roaring lion which i mimic every time, every time.
And somehow this rare photo surfaced. I can almost see the wariness of the cameraman as they began to shoot. Isn't it fun seeing this?
I remember my father had an album of Beatles, the one where they crossed that Abbey Road, which has been replicated and duplicated by many people who went there. Remember this?
And here's a photo of the Beatles crossing the road in opposite direction.
Henrietta "Hetty" Lange: NCIS OSP Operations Manager. I watch NCIS: Los Angeles because of her, well next to G. Callen of course. But for me she's the most interesting character among the NCIS people. Here's a little tidbits about Hetty that i find interesting.
- She's allergic to feathers and nuts.
- Her most prized possession is a 1955 Porsche Spyder
- Once hide inside a cake for a mission.
These are just little tidbits i gather from watching NCIS: Los Angeles, but if you really want to know more about the official Henrietta Lange, here's HETTY!

If i could back in the mid 90's, i will find the person who created the idea of a Belle de Jour perfect power planner and urged them to create one now and not wait many years later, then it could have been perfect! But all the same I've been reaping the benefits of BDJ since 2009 and it has been a good relationship since then.
You could say I'm a Bella with a good "coupon sense" and just last weekend I've used another coupons and decided to go to Browhaus over at Makati and used this coupon.
I love being at Browhaus it's like your inside a boat and the color is fantastic.
So i availed of their browgraphy and the P200 off is just perfect. And this is only one of the #PerksofaBella you can avail. Those coupons let me enjoy the finer things life, thru BDJ coupons, has to offer and make me a smart, savvy shopper, in short, staying on a budget while enjoying all the perks that a true Bella deserves. Don't you just love it?
I know the BDJ booklet is a bit overwhelming and you wanna try everything at once but thanks to this thewanderingarchitect i was able to organize my coupons and how and when i will enjoy it.
