Getting to Bantayan Island Experience | Batayan Island Adventure | CEBU CITY

September 27, 2017 0 Comments
Mr.Sun of Bantayan Island
Check for more details: https://bantayanisland.com/


Going to Bantayan is a backbreaking expedition. This requires patience and more patience.


Very exhausting line to wonderland

If you are starting your journey from Cebu proper, you need to go to North Bus Terminal, as early as 10PM. If you want to catch the first trip from Hagnaya Port to Sta. Fe Port at 4AM. 


We really had a very bad experience in getting a ride to Hagnaya Port.  I had buried my self  for the last 2 months reading a lot of blogs to fully equip myself for this trip. However, none had mentioned their atrocious experience. We’ve stood for almost 2 hours to get a ticket from Ceres Bus Liner going to Sta Fe. Some people bought 10 tickets and more. Crossing my fingers while on line to get that seat for us, didn't really help at all. You have to say your prayers very intensely. Viola! On our turn they've told us that we've already run out of seat. 


I was in the most pensive moment of my life, but I don't wanna ruin our trip. I have to act immediately because the next trip will be at 7AM. We're here and it’ll be a total waste of time if we'll not get into that first trip and wait until 7AM. It was very relieving to know that they also have another bus to Hagnaya Port, but it'll will not go to Sta Fe. Terminal. So, we took that ride instead. 


Just after the sober experience, we've learned that you can take other bus company going to Hagnaya Port. There’s no need to depend on the Ceres Bus Liner. You also have other bus companies at the terminal that are non-air conditioned. Which are not overcrowded and could help you save time and money. 


Having the privileged of a pregnant look
we were seated at the front seat

The trip from the terminal will take 3 to 4 hours depending on how fast your vehicle will be. Our trip took 3 hours, has provided us an hour to settle ourselves. We're so lucky to be seated in front, at a very comfortable seat. But we didn't left the terminal until the bus gets full, overflowing.

  

The driver ask some commuters to be seated on the isle, with a stool. Very uncomfortable and they were not discounted at all. 

You’re still going to get off the bus once you arrive at the Hagnaya Port. So, I suggest that you take the Hagnaya route bus. If you’re going to take the City Tour, I suggest you take the Sta Fe. Route. The bus will take you directly to the City Terminal. 

The price also differ it’s very costly to take a Sta. Fe route, and very inconvenient. You still have to take off the bus to pay terminal fees, and nothing extravagant awaits you there. From the port, you can take a tricycle to your accommodation, and it's only 10Php. If you'd like to skip the long ride. You can take the Air Juan ride, it's an exclusive 9 sitter direct plane ride to Bantayan. This will only cost you 1,288 pesos, but they only have limited flights. 

But all the trouble is well paid off.

Human Heart Nature | ACNE DEFENSE

September 26, 2017 0 Comments

I’ve been suffering for pimple fever in quite some time now. I've been patiently trying different pimple treatment, facial scrubs and wash. Sadly, none of them works for me, until my office mate introduce Human Heart Nature products. 

https://humanheartnature.com/buy/
I’ve tried the Acne Defense Solution Gel first. Because it’s very portable and I can apply whenever, and wherever I want. 


Though, I can see that there’s an improvement in healing. I’m still not contented with the results. So, I immediately purchase the Acne Defense Facial Wash.

After a few days of faithfully washing and treating my pimples, the dark spots slowly faded away. I was really delighted to know that this comes along a toner, and you can purchase them separately. 
I could really say that the best result is when you match these three products for full defense.I use the facial wash first. I do this after taking a bath and at night time before going to bed. This is to strengthen my defense for the pollution and fight against pimple before it spreads. Then, I tone my face. This is very important step to renew your skin tissues from pimple spots. It also reduces your facial oils that contributes pimple to grow faster. It’s important that your face is clean before you apply your acne treatment, to fasten the effect of drying your pimple break out. 

It’s very depressing to see yourself breaks. 






Thank God I’m finally copping up!

They also serve a pastry, which goes along well with their drinks.



If you’re lucky enough, you can catch some fresh fruits too. 


But the best way to enjoy this is to find someone you can chat along until to the bottom of your cup of lemon.

Steakhouse to visit in Digos City

August 22, 2017 0 Comments


Upperfarm Steakhouse

We’ve heard a lot of good reviews with this steakhouse in Digos, so we decided to take a 45 minute drive from Davao City. 
I really wanted to take off my jacket, but I may lost my dates appetite because of my biceps.
The light is a little dim from the lamps, plus the windows are letting the sun rays through the open. So, blogger friends the place is for you! Well ventilated area, but I admit that Digos really has this almost irritating humid temperature. You may rather consider bringing your portable fans. 

The place is built in an industrial design, and is very cozy. The whole place can accommodate for 40- 50 pax. Tables are in great and unique.  They’re made of cable stands; the circular table shape is very effective space saver. It’s a bit dusty when we arrived, considering that the store is fronting the main street.
They serve food for at least 15 – 20 mins, depending on your desired dish. They also serve wine, but very selected brands.

I usually order Porterhouse but since it's not available, I ordered T-bone in medium rare. I love it medium rare or medium, I love to taste the juiciness of the meat. I don’t like it cooked medium well or well done as it’s almost like shoe leather. I don't want meat to go into the spaces in between my teeth. Sorry gross! 

I must say that this one is a medium cooked steak. Not real happy at sight. It’s mostly grey, but thankfully the small amounts of pink balances it all out. The spices? It won’t disappoint at all! And the price is right, it goes from 250 and above. Since you'll be the one to decide the how many pounds they'll cook for you.

       

Hubby got so excited meeting Mestizo! It’s a 1PC burger patty with shoestring fries for Php 150 only.  As burger lover, I didn't expect that he'd love this one. You'll never know until you tried it for yourself! 

I really enjoyed our whole experienced at Upperfarm! It was never a waste of time. As my Granny always say, go home and eat good foods. One of the Digos finest!

Taichou Izakaya Japanese Restaurant (Captain's Pub)

August 09, 2017 0 Comments


Craving for ramen?


I highly suggest you visit Taichou Izakaya , located at D. Ponce St. Davao City. Besides 7/11, fronting Clemens Purified Drinking Water. 

Click here
Taichou – Japanese Kanji for Captain, Leader or Commander.
Izakaya - a type of Japanese bar in which a variety of small, typically inexpensive, dishes and snacks are served to accompany the alcoholic drinks.


After a very tiring day at the beach, me and my partner decided to look for a hot ramen. This Japanese Restaurant happens to be a block away from our apartment. We arrived around 4:30 PM, perfect before the business closing time. 

A very small resto, but amazingly has a long table for a family of 5 or 8 to bond. They can accommodate up to 20-25 pax. At first sight, you wouldn't really expect that it's more on the inside. Though, it's very visible at the facade gives you that time travel vibe to Japan. They also have their menu written in Kanji with translation.

I have visited Japan, and I am very fascinated with their comfort room. So, after picking out our seat at the counter table, I immediately headed to their comfort room. I was really amazed that they adopted the sliding door as well as the entire decoration. 


Lindo, a young entrepreneur owns the place, and helping him is his sister. Both are very welcoming  and accommodating. We chitchatted them while waiting for the food, and learned that Lindo stayed quite while in Japan. He's passion in cooking inflamed by  fascination of the Japanese culture inspires him to put up Captain's Pub.



As they say, it's very hard to please Customer Care Representatives (Call Center Agent), when it comes to food and services. Most of us, values how the business threats their customers before how the food tastes.  




 This restaurant gives us so many reasons to come back. I'll rate them a 5 out of 5 for our experience. Exquisite place, and a belt buckling meal!

Old New Borrowed and Blue

Though time changes, denim don't. Investing your money for denim outfits is a perfect catch for inexpensive but fashionable looks. 


Model : Shalimar Indin (Filipina ♥️ Customer Reresentative) 

Enjoy these tips on spicing up your regular denim makeup basics, and commercial poses. 

Denim Romper
 Long sleeve, buttons up, an elasticized waist and hem shorts.
    
             Sitting back confidently with legs crossed, lady boss on the couch. 
Half-updo, tucked hair behind with bobby pins. Matched with very light makeup, and lipstick which is very perfect for a day out. Very refreshing look for a not too formal wear. 
       



Disclaimer: NOT SPONSORED  HUDA BEAUTY ROSE GOLD TEXTURED EYESHADOW PALETTE
Grab scandal wood shade, and reach from your outer crease to inner crease of your eyes. Then pick some coco shade using a precision crease brush, hit your brush directly to your outer crease and fading through the middle to create a deep set eyes. Accentuate your lid using #blessed shade. Then repeat the color pattern on you lower waterline. Following your upper lash line use a smudge proof liquid liner, to last through out the day without redoing it. 


 For the cheeks, I recommend using any shades from City Color Be Matte Blush Trio. I like the fresh melon shake which plush the freshness in the morning light. While the blackberry shade creates a Korean blushed check in matte in the middle of your day. And before soaking your self to bed, use the guava shade to fade your stressed cheeks.

Let down your hair, and look confident. You can iron your hair to a wavy look through you hair ends, if your hair needs volume.


For your romper pose, you can actually stand up to showcase the full look wearing this. Or, you can always play sitting with arm rest and half leg showing-how your romper shorts are worn.


Denim Jacket 

and a messy bun




The best thing about a denim jacket are worn buttoned up or loose with a fitted sexy top. Best with pastel shade tanks and a matching skirt, short, or pants long tattered or not. Always classic and sassy!







For the make up, you can play along with a colorful smoked winged eye. Using the same palette, start brushing up your outer crease with light shade (as always). This to make sure that your look won't end up scrappy. Picking up and putting up with the dark shades may cause you go for much even darker shades, once you dishevel with it.


Start with smoking up the bossy shade on your crease. Then fill your crease with black truffle until the desired smoky look is achieved. Apply generously 24K shade on your lid. Repeating the pattern on your lower waterline. Bring the henna shade on the inner corner for a fuller eye look. Sketch your lash line with a brush pen liner to start your wings. Aside for filling your wings precisely they are very efficient. 

From the bottom of your lash line, draw a line where you want to bring up your wings. Then you can bring down your line from the top point to your lash line, creating a triangular shape. Now you can start shading your triangle.


For your buns, the messy the better. If you have a short hair, start with putting up a pony tail to make sure all your hair won't cause a fall. Then start swirling around, from the roots to the tail, and swirl around creating your desired bun. 


You can always pose with a street free styling, no one will even notice you're actually indoors with your messing bun.

How to do eyebrows for begginers

July 17, 2017 0 Comments


Check this link!


I don't really have naturally grown eyebrows. That's why I use different products to fill them in. I found out that practicing different arch on your brows will not only make you an expert, but will surely change the your facial features.

Let the eyebroventure begin!

Gather the following:


Tweezers






Spoolie Brush





Brow Brush




Brow Product




Start with cleaning, trimming, and shaping your brows.

As we age, hair begins to slower, it's growth. I suggest you should not constantly shape your brows, nor over stay brow products. Makeup has a lot of contents that blocks hair follicles to grow them naturally.

Brush your brows upward from the outer corner of your eyes. Making sure that there's no uneven portion. Then continue brushing 90 degrees following its natural angle to its ideal end.

Using your desired brow product, you can always follow the steps in filling your brows.

You have to check what products will really suit your skin. You can try testers or read product reviews for your references. It's not always ideal to buy products with no reference at all, They're products that won't work for you.

For girls who don't have visible brow hairs, I suggest you use brow pomade or oil based products. Which has great performance, that don't require you to retouch your brows a lot.




I really love the soft arch for my brows. Using an angle brush I start shapping to where I want to bring up the arch, before going down to the end. Then from the top of your outer brows, slowly going downwards.




Draw a soft straight line from where your natural brows grows to the arch, then do the same on the outer part.




Once you're done tracing your brow pattern, you can slowly fill them in lightly. Add more product in the arch area to create illusion that it is lifted.




From the outside of your nose, find where you ideally want to start your brows. Then start drawing soft strokes looking hair, and fill the areas. 




Remember that we want to look it naturally, so, make sure that you don't have a lot of product on the brush, to avoid redoing it.




To soften harsh line, brush them with your spoolie. Blend that out. Emphasize your brow shape, by using your the foundation you've used to your face or concealer.








You can also use highlighter under your arch to show off.
