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!

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

My Chouhou Gundam

I am so excited to write about the latest addition to my Gundam collection!  This time, I got it from the Gundam Caravan Booth last Best of Anime 2012 ! It was a fun-filled event full of cosplayers and various booths !  This time, we were given the Chouhou Gundam to setup. Uhm, I'm not sure if there is another name for this Gundam. However, the Katakana characters read as "Chouhou", so let me stick with that.  The box of Chouhou Gundam. Hey! This one is new! Other than the manual for setting up, there is also comics inside the box. Wow! It is great as I will get to know more about this Gundam! But time was of the essence, so I decided to move on with building and detailing and set aside reading for later. Comics inside the Chouhou Gundam box. So let us start with the steps in setting up. Here are the photos: We start off with the feet Then the head was next. Putting stickers on is hard, you know. Of course, we need the torso to connect the

Proud to be a Bella

May 21 2011 had been added to my list of memorable days thanks to the girls of Belle de Jour Power Planner. That special day was the BDJ Girls' Rendevous for the month of May. The theme was I Dream, therefore I can.  It was one of the biggest event to date. Almost 100 slots were available to be filled. The invitation to the event was given through various contests. I got my slot in this event through the Belle de Jour Facebook Fan Page. They posted a question at exactly 2:54 PM of May 5, 2011. They posted a question as their status which was: Question, Bellas:   How do you unwind/relax when you're stressed from school or work?   The first 25 BDJ Girls who will comment on THIS THREAD will get a slot at the BDJ Rendezvous: I Dream Therefore I Can! : ) When I saw that post, I immediately wrote "I watch my favorite teleserye." Woah! Believe it or not, I got the lucky 25th slot. Weee! The Rendevous was held in Ace Water Spa in Ortigas. I thought that swimming wi
