Unending Love

Hello My Friends.....I'm Back!!! After a long period of absence, I hope to catch up as I've been out of the loop for a long long time....so here's my uber-late February Recap.....


Last February, I've made a Bikini Bottom cupcakes for hubby's Spongebob Theme birthday Party, Valentine's Dinner was at The Firehouse Restaurant, Another New York weekend for a friends engagement pictorial and we also get to try Grimaldi's which was "the longest line I've waited for just a pizza",but totally worth it...We also get to visit the family in Maryland and for the first time I got to meet my new baby cousin which you'll all going to see on my future posts and get to play with my nephew who loves Donald Duck so much...Babysitting our friends daughter, Isn't she adorable?....I'm still addicted to florals and lastly been busy with Woodpainting....before saying goodbye for now, I have to share my most favorite shopruche lookbook ever...It's kinda late cuz' I know they have a new one right now...but this is just incredibly beautiful to pass up.

Update: A Piece of me in May+Packages+Sakura Matsuri

It seems like I never post anything on time nowadays....I don't have any excuse though....

here's another late A Piece of me....in May.


I like.....
  • that my one & only sister & her family are going to visit us (I haven't seen them since 2008).
I don't like.......
  • that I have been buying too much clothes and still nothing looks good on me....:(
  • too much rain for the whole week....
  • my still annoying neighbors and now they're having sex like mad people...haha....
I want you to know.......
  • Can someone tell me how to make your pictures huge on blog???
I've planned......
  • to try harder to lose weight...do more exercise and a healthy diet...
  • to practice physical therapy again...
I want to say to someone special......
  • (belated)Happy Mother's Day Mama!!!!We Love You so much.....

the very sweet Lulu (Luluchinadoll) sent me a package full of milk teas, candies & other goodies
which really made my day!!!

Thanks Lulu......**hugs**

I also won another giveaway!!!thanks to Maria of Lulu Letty ( do visit her blog she's one of my favorites...)
I got a $25 gift certificate from beta boutique
and here's what I bought a pretty sheer floral skirt...

and ELF Cosmetics had a 60% off sale on their studio line, I've always wanted to try ELF Studio blushes as a lot has been raving about it.......so here's my loot...
more blushes, eyeshadows & brushes.....

and here are some photos from the Cherry Blossom Festival last April 10 in Washington, DC








then after a very tiring day of walking around the district we had dinner at

Phillip's Seafood Buffet
301 Light Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
(410)685-6600



the next day we went shopping....
I got some cheap shoes at Urban Outfitters....


and lunch at

La Tasca Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant
201 East Pratt Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
410.209.2562


I highly recommend the tasting menus..we had meat tapas & seafood tapas which are so good...we also had Paella Valenciana which for me isn't really that tasty...I didn't get the chance to take some pics of the food....



That's all for now....as I still have a lot of things to do today!!!

NYC + Food Porn + Love Packages

A few weeks ago hubby and I went to New York City.....weekends gets too boring here in our current place and we are craving for some good food....
first stop:
Mitsuwa
595 River Rd.
Edgewater, NJ 07020

Everytime we go to NYC we have to stop by here...we had Ramen for lunch and went to get some groceries and stop by Sanseido bookstore to look for some magazines...here's my loot....

(The Face Shop Post-Acne Night Spot Eraser was bought at NYC's Face shop store)
CanCam May 2010

Creamyaki at Oishinbo
Battery Tunnel around 3:45pm on our way to brooklyn...

then park the car and took the subway to manhattan.....

I had to stop by The Face Shop to get the Post-Acne Night Spot Eraser which unfortunately didn't work on my skin.... then dinner at....

NY Kom Tang Soot Bul Kal Bi
32 W 32nd St, New York 10001
(Btwn Broadway & 5th Ave)

we had what else?korean bbq...I had the Deungshim Gul (grilled sirloin steak) and raymund had
Samkyupsal Gul (grilled slices of Pork), the food was ok....but the service was great, the waiter was so helpful and the funny thing is at first he was talking to us in korean, I was like what???? he even gave us this steamed egg dish on the house and the best thing about it...the price is so affordable....

after dinner I was so excited to go shopping but then hubby told me he's not feeling well (sucks!) so we went back home instead....major disappointment!!!

the next day we went to church with auntie & uncle....here's raymund playing around while waiting.....

then we had lunch in one of our fave....

Nyonya Malaysian Cuisine
5323 54th Street, 8th Avenue,
Brooklyn, NY 11220

this is the best malaysian restaurant in brooklyn in our opinion....we had Roti canai, Curry Beef Stew Casserole, Sarang Burong and Malaysian Style Spareribs and Malaysian Ice Tea...honestly everything were so good!!! They said service sucks here but really I didn't care at all I was so busy eating, hehe....

Homemade Roti Canai Indian Pancake
Sarang Burong
(shaped fried taro stuffed with shrimp, chicken corn, snow peas & black mushroom topped with cashew nuts, oh so good)

Spareribs Malaysian Style
that's it for our weekend....I think I gained another few pounds....

Love Package:
Thank you so much to May!!!for sending me these goodies....Canmake blushes has always been on my wishlist and May was so sweet to send me the cream blush in 01.....she even included some matcha milk tea...which I've been craving for a long time....more masks :D and an elf brush to try...thanks May for being my fairy godmother for a day...I love everything.....

and remember the last time I told you about Diane of Orange to LA's blogsale which in my opinion is one of the best...well, she added some new stuff again and luckily I got her VOV Castledew blush and lipstick first...hehe...when I saw it....I immediately emailed her...and check out the package there's two castledew lipstick in there....she gave me the second one for free....and even added some masks & a sample handcream...Thank you so much Diane....


and lastly I won birkie's early spring-birdy giveaway :D

I was so excited when I opened the package....
Thank you Birkie!!!so much new makeup to play with....
and does anyone know birkie's mailing address????

Me and raymund decided not to go to Outerbanks,NC with family this week because of his work so I'm a bit disappointed as I've been looking forward to it.....so the family sent us some pics to make us jealous.... here's my nephew currently enjoying the beach....
jealous much.....:(

oh well, that's it for now.....
have a great week everyone.....


XOXO,

Hi!!Everyone.....Today is the last day of my giveaway......
so to those who hadn't completed their entries yet, please do so or I'll disqualify you......
Goodluck to everyone.....and Thank you for joining....

Last Friday, we had dinner at Willa Jacks in Abingdon, VA to meet a new friend from Seattle..It's our first time to try the resto and when we came in we immediatelly like the ambience, It's an upscale fine dining establishment without the snooty staff ... I ordered Seafood Pasta, and it has the best tasting shrimp I've ever tasted in my entire life...haha no joke.....but I hadn't got the chance to take a pic of what I got because I was so hungry during that time.....but here is what I got for dessert...yummmm-o...


My hubby got Lemon Pepper Seared King Salmon and all he can say about it is that the jasmine rice that comes with it is uncooked but I think he enjoyed the salmon as well as the jumbo sea scallops , so overall it's a comfortable place, great food, outstanding service and we'll definitely be back for more....

willa jacks
