Chicken Charlie have a quaint take out/dining shop at Bonifacio Global City. You might miss their branch because it is tucked between several dining establishment and located near Burgos Circle. But despite the tough competition because of a wide variety of choices in the area, the store is usually packed specially during lunchtime, Most of its patrons are employees from nearby offices who eats lunch there or have several packs taken out.

Aldous invited us to just hang and try out Chicken Charlie. Here's what we had that night of pigging (or should I say chicken-ing??!!) out.


I ordered their Milo Dino because it is one of their bestsellers. I was kind of hesitant at first if it will go well with their soy-garlic chicken, but it turned out to be okay. the flavor of our favorite Milo drink was rich and too sweet for me (well, I really find Milo too sweet so that's why). The surprise came in when I slurped some bits of jelly at the bottom.

If you've been an avid reader of my foodie adventures, you'll know how much I enjoyed every Zomato Foodie Meet-up I've ever been to. This time, Zomato goes on full blast and invited their foodie members in their very first Zomato Food Crawl at Solaire Resorts and Casino.

Do you feel the sudden rise in temperature?

Yep. You guessed right. SUMMER is already here! With Summer among our midst, we can't help but long for the beach, lounging under the sun and doing absolutely nothing. My mind usually drift through the clear water and white sand of our beaches here in the Philippines.

Calaguas Island is becoming one of the country's tourist attraction. Clear waters and white sand rivaling those of Boracay and Palawan, Calaguas Island sure is on every list of tourist and summer destinations.


I remember when I first set foot at Calaguas last October, I didn't have much of a good time there. It was rainy season, the waves were cruel which made me sick during our whole stay in Calaguas. (I know, it's depressing). But don't  get discouraged by my experience, Calaguas is PERFECT, specially this summer season.

Here are three things I've been longing to do in Calaguas (which I wasn't able to the first time I've been there):

I've been an avid fan of Belle de Jour. I've been using their for 3 years until I had to cut back on costs for future plans. Belle de Jour aims to empower every Filipina to be their best self. They try to reach out to different types of Filipina and try to oversee how they can help them boost their confidence.

BDJ Box is a concept from the people behind Belle de Jour. It is a beauty box where you subscribe to their service to get products to try. We know that it is hard to choose products that will fit our skin needs and seldom we try to be more adventurous with our choices. BDJ Box gives every girl a chance to try the current best products at a fraction of their price.


December last year, I finally mustered to try their beauty box. I've been reading a lot of unboxing reviews and somehow it always fascinate me on how BDJ Box surprises each subscriber with products to try. I'm not sure which month I'll be getting and what products it will contain so I was nervous and at the same time excited.

Finally, as soon as February said Hello, my BDJ Box came to our house. It was the January-February Kawaii Box. Perfect! I've been musing about Asian skin care products so this was just perfect. Let's take a peek of what's inside...

*This is a long overdue post that has been sitting as draft for a few months already. I just want to share this with you guys. Hope this is still helpful!


My skin have been dry, flaky and irritated because of the cold holiday weather and also because of something I used last year. My skin broke out so bad that I have to use petroleum jelly just to appease the dryness and flaking. So I was in a hunt to find a new set of skincare products to heal and at the same time restore the moisture of my skin.

Soshi and I jumpstart our Valentines Weekend by dining at the very posh restuarant Buddha Bar. I've been to Buddha Bar several times with friends and for events, and the place never fails to amaze me every time I go there. It's as if I stepped into another place where luxury is a norm.


For Valentines, Buddha Bar Manila has a promo for couples who wanted to make their evening extra special.


For Php1700/pax, One can enjoy a five course meal, specially prepared by Buddha Bar to make your Valentines Day extra special. It was offered from Feb 13-14 and for every person who availed the dinner, they get a chance to win a grand suite hotel in Boracay.

Soshi and I decided to spend our Valentines by availing Buddha Bar's Valentine Dinner. It was spontaneous and out of the blue (also it was a payday Friday as well and we're feeling extra luxurious). We called and asked more information about the promo and immediately booked  a table for two around 9:00 PM.


Buddha Bar was perfect that night, dim lighting that a candle light dinner was a good idea for a valentines date. Unfortunately, our food photos were not that great.
