Champagne Room *ORIGINAL*

Back in September, the Boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary in one of the restaurants we've wanted to try for the longest time: Champagne Room. This restaurant is located in Manila Hotel, the grand dame of hotels in Manila.

Manila Hotel has recently undergone some renovations and refurbishments, especially with its restaurants.  Since Champagne Room has been on our restaurant list, our anniversary  was the perfect occasion to find out for ourselves what makes Champagne Room special.

Hole in the Wall at Century City Mall

Simple but true words at Hole in the Wall

 The other night, we chanced upon the first day of the (soft) opening of Hole in the Wall, the newest dining establishment to open in Century City Mall in Makati. 

Kerasilk Keratin Treatment from Alex Carbonell for Cynos

In May, I made the visit to Studio Fix in Greenbelt 5 for my usual cut and color services courtesy of Alex Carbonell,  and I was surprised to learn about an exciting brand for hair color and treatments which partnered with Alex as its brand ambassador. It's called CYNOS, a brand that was born in Korea and  is now a company with its home base in Canada. Today, in partnership with Alex, it's a brand making its mark in the Philippine salon industry.

Serendipitous Short Hair at Studio Fix by Alex Carbonell

Serendipity occurs when something wonderful happens unexpectedly. Because you don't plan for it to happen, the beautiful or happy event that occurs serendipitously becomes all the more poignant, as if touched by grace. It can happen from the profound and deepest aspects of life (such as love) to the most mundane and kikay of things, like finding an amazing dress at the mall when you've just planned to go there to window shop, and even better, finding it on sale. Or it can happen while getting a haircut.  A few months ago (I know it's been months but better late than never!), serendipity happened to me in the hands of my favorite stylist, Alex Carbonell.

Happy Weekend x Five Things Friday

Hello, lovelies! I know I haven't been posting here much lately. I blame it on life and work demands, but hopefully that will all soon change as I gear towards more balance in life, work, and creative passions. 

Wanted to post this after the previous weekend, but it's now Friday and it looks like this will turn out to be a Five Things Friday post.  But it will be all about the things I have loved and appreciated last weekend. 

Such as discovering the capability of my new smartphone to capture my handwriting and actually write on my photos! Take that iPhone 5 (kidding!)
