My Hua Mulan Treasure

I have been eyeing those beautiful combs on display whenever I pass by the Hua Mulan kiosk in SM Megamall. They were so pretty that I made it one of my commitments to save up for it. Thankfully, the day for me to buy one finally came. 

I visited the Hua Mulan SM North Annex branch. I'm glad that it was the store that I chose because the sales assistant was very knowledgeable about their products. She knew what was perfect for my type of hair. She recommended for me to have the wide toothed goat or ox horn comb. All of the designs she gave me were so good, I wanted them all. But alas! I was only able to buy two. 

The sandalwood combs look nice too. However, the sales girl told me that wooden combs are not supposed to be used for wet hair. Of course, water might make the wood brittle. So after some time of choosing, I had to buy this...

The goat horn comb that I bought. PhP600.
Pretty, isn't it? The comb looks so antique and royal! It looks heavy but it is actually very light. Horn is made of Keratin after all. It is translucent, too! That is a plus on its beauty! Here is a closer look...

Since a lot of combs on display were so beautiful, I decided to buy one for a friend, too. This Peach Wood comb is so feminine. The engraving on it is so pretty! I just love the overall look and the details!

You gotta love the girly details! 
Goat horn, ox horn, and wooden combs also claim to have some good benefits in accordance to traditional Chinese medicine. I don't know if its for real. But the reason why I bought these Hua Mulan combs is because they look good! And that is enough! 

These combs are so feminine but I can't help remembering one of my life's theme songs:
You must be swift as the coursing river.
With all the the force of a great typhoon.
With all the strength of a raging fire.
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
I love my Hua Mulan combs! It reminds me of being beautiful, without forgetting to be tough as a man!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it.

But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
