Weekend Food Trip at: Tian Pao Wan

Happy Sunday everyone!
I received a couple of feedback from AMW readers/fellow-food lovers who are sharing their excitement on my weekend food posts!  To be honest, I'm ALWAYS excited to EAT and share my experience dining in a restaurant especially if it is a first time experience for me.

Just like at Tian Pao Wan.

I've heard about the restaurant  from my mom and dad-in-laws a couple of times as they went to this restaurant a couple of times spending great nights with friends and good food.  After inviting us to dine with them so many times, our schedules finally matched and we finally made it last Sunday night! 

Tian Pao Wan could be difficult for most of you to remember (especially non-Chinese readers) so for easy reference and for my ease of typing...let's call the restaurant TPW temporarily!  *lol*  You can't blame me for being lazy, you know where AMW came from! :P

Anyways, back to TPW, Mr. AMW and I are thankful that we spent our dining experience with our family friend who happily did the ordering, me and my husband are both lazy when it comes to menu ordering, the more choices we have in front of us, the longer we'll get to eat as we can't seem to make up our minds! 

Pumpkin Seafood Soup

Php384.00

I actually requested for this as I've always been a fan of Pumpkin soup!  The seafood part was an added bonus and I just have my anti-histamine on hand as I believe my family prefers to have some seafood "bits" on their soup!  So far, I'm glad the soup served has a good texture, not too thick nor too runny. The taste?  It definitely has an added note of sweetness (but not too much).

AMW Reports: Vietura at Sofitel Philippine Plaza

Happy weekend!  By the time you're reading this, I'm doing a shoot for one of my favorite cosmetics brand!  Do follow me on Instagram for updates (@AskMeWhats).

Early this week, after Kyle's monthly checkup, I've decided to visit Vietura Aesthetic Lifestyle located at Sofitel Manila.  I was invited by Jane of Sofitel to try their services, and to be honest, I'm not that keen but I'm always open for something new!

Happy Skin Don't Get Mad Get Even Hydrating Liquid Foundation (Natural Beige) Review

Happy Friday everyone!  *dances the Friday Dance*  

You probably don't know the Friday dance so if you get to see me in person, ask me to do it!  It'll be my pleasure to show the steps to you!  FUN and EASY :P

When I started this blog, I get a lot of emails from readers across the universe (bongga lang!).  Seriously, I get emails from various parts of the world sharing to me their beauty and non-beauty related problems!  From getting a divorce to being left out on a cold by a long-time boyfriend, I've heard them all!  Can't blame you guys, my blog is named "AskMeWhats" kasi!  :P 

My short "kwento" was brought to you by Happy Skin's Don't Get Mad Get Even!  I know it is difficult to control your emotions at times and it is easier to hide in the dark and blame yourself for all the bad happenings that existed in your life!  I'm a strong believer of not showing the other person how affected your are, but instead, get even!  (Definitely not hiring a professional killer type) but getting even in a way that you show to the person who hurt you the most, or the world, how easy it was for you to survive a bad situation.  You may not feel 100%but at least, try to look 99.9% better!  That is for me, the best revenge to people who tries to pull you down! 

Seriously, ang haba ng intro ko just for a Hydrating Liquid Foundation!  *laughs*

AMW Reports: MAC Celebrates World Aids Day (Kyle Nash too!)

When I received an invite to celebrate World Aids Day with MAC Cosmetics Philippines, I didn't think twice saying yes even though 1) It is on a Sunday 2) I have to take Kyle with me on an event.

Why?

Because this event is in support of MAC AIDS Fund, created to support men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS globally.  AskMeWhats support makeup companies that provides financial help to fight HIV/AIDS. MAC, by the way, has raised more than $300 million through its Viva Glam initiative, which directs 100% of the purchase price of Viva Glam Lipsticks to M.A.C. AIDS Fund and other organizations dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS.

So imagine, you get to be "shallow" in purchasing beauty-related products without the guilt as you are doing your part in helping out our fellow brothers and sisters.
