Persia Grill on Heart's Day

I was never a fan of Persian and Indian Foods... (i said it before). It was always Uno who is fond of this cuisine, i guess my palate wasn't as extreme as his in terms of determining which spice is used to compliment the dish.... i love spicy foods where in chillies or called it labuyo is used as its spice, but other than that for me its something i have to embrace for the love of my husband hahhahaha..no kidding i would take time anticipating what taste it has since its cooked with tons of spices.

This day i  made sure, ill make him smile and feel he was (so) loved by dating him at Persia Grill...... Uno, often times share with me his time reading some blogsites about their food trips and gastronomic experience wat not :D he was amused seing this huge lists of small and BIG persian resto serving in the metro. Since its valentines Day and I wanted him to feel i have made an extra effort to let him feel how deep is my love for him, in my own simple way (nakampuch hahahah). Its been 5 months since our wedding and until now i feel i havent given him what he deserves for giving me the best wedding i ever dreamed...for me all the food that i cooked for him wasnt enough to thank him kaya nman as what ive said earlier... in my own little way i wanted him to enjoy and splurge to whatever little things, food, unfamiliar place or anything that would make him smile and say His Happy. :D

Swagat

Being a cook at heart, I would always love to explore different kinds of dishes, I sometimes get from the food i tasted from one restaurant to another... But sometimes i get intimidated with different cuisine i never grew up eating, Indian and Persian Foodies was few of those . Until I tried the newly opened (re-opened) New Bombay with my office mates. It was me, Pesky and Andrea who take the risk of dining with lots of Indian nationals surrounding us (hahahah). The experience was worth the try since we fall in love with it's Biryani dishes.... The serving was damn huge you can share it with someone.

And today, I am again trying Indian Food,  now with my Husband, Uno loves curry dishes, so i searched for a resto somewhere in makati that would offer authentic curry dishes until we found Swagat, owned and managed by Indian National's. We enjoyed there Chicken CURRY , plain and buttered ROTI,  Mutton Masala , Sangam Biryani and Saag Paneer... 

We dig in and enjoyed every drop of sauce that stained our plates hahahhaha. Uno loves and enjoyed it so much he wanted to come back the next day and indulge with more of Swagat's famous dishes...

Worth a try..... :D

Its been 3mos. past since we got married and the intensity of love and togetherness is extremely undefined. I am just too happy and been so blessed I could'nt ask for anything more. And to give glory and praise to the Creator who made all this  things possible, I prepared special dish to share with my family and friends, my one way thanking and remembering the Birth of our dear LORD...

Make-Up Trail for the Aspiring MUA

Just got my handy "Make Up Trail Kit" my husband gave me. (an early Christmas gift). Uno whose been "Consistently Thoughtful" since we started as a couple up to this very moment, He would always ask what gift i want (in various occasion). I remember him telling me during our 5th year anniversary, Han i run out of ideas what  gift  to give during occasions, maybe you would want to think of what you want then just tell me.... hhahahah (cool).

Hubby's Advance Christmas GIFT.... luveeeerrrrrr!

One of my Christmas Wish Lists is this Make up trail KIT, I've always wanted to have one just like the PRO uses during shoots, but got no guts to bought one since (nanghihinayang hahahahah) and also, I'm not  a PRO MAKE-UP ARTIST. (not yet dahlin :D). Not until i get interested in learning how to apply cosmetics to myself and to my friends. This also pushes me to do what i always wanted ... I wanna be a PRO(parlorista chareeeeeng:D)

 

*my handy Make Up Trail KIT *

 

More room for my lip liners, make-up brush, iridescent powdah's

and duo-eye's .. LOVELY:D

 

 what's inside? you'll see a mixture of known,unknown and never heard 

pengkay (make-up) brands hahahahha! from this blush on that I myself don't know where the hell this brand

made off to the famous M.A.C and other BEAUTY BAR products to ever bilena'y and nichidoychi 

(with its powerful lip liners and liquid eye boiner-(liner).... 

to import products  like "PRESTIGE" courtesy of my soul sistah Budang in Canada and lip balms from Carding in USA

at malalakas na postpaid na Mascara and yet so intimidating na products from AVON-lady chareeeng!

Upon receiving this so early Christmas gift from my ever loving and thoughtful hubby,  I started to scout and inquire make-up schools and got shocked with the current price trend this school offers, (ganoin pla kamahal) hahahahahah! I didn't realize it would costs that much to study the art in makeupstry pero still i want to give it a try.  Hopefully mid of this year, when everything's settled  and finalized i'll be able to explore the world of cosmetics/make-up's for I am eyeing a career in make-up industry. I'm Serious,  I am enrolling and embracing the colorful and beautiful world of PENGKAY's ...... and eventually make money out of it .... $$$$$$$

I'm just too excited anticipating whats in store for me on my first day of class (naks)..... Just needed more time management for ill be so busy with my other projects like being a WIFEY,  a doting dauther and tita to my mudak (mother) and my shumangkin's (niece) , a jolly Chefy ala kusineray at home at sa ibat ibang parties,  a kabugerang friend to all my true and trusted friends, serving my constituents, a jolly wedding planner and more more................ :D

For now need more raket's to complete my pengkay collection's in prep for my upcoming class..... I wanted to be well equipped when my class start's hihihihihi! 

Now moving to a new career........ SOON? yipeeeeYippppeeeeH!
