Dreaming of Airplanes in the Nights Sky and Shooting Stars

Posted on March 17, 2012 by malensky

Been dreaming about weird things lately. Mostly about riding a plane, landing/floating on the seawater (instead of a runway), stopover somewhere in Asia and heading to the USA! Last time, I was in Philadelphia, this time I was in Florida! The pilot was just wearing shorts with matching Hawaiian polo shirt , and he is…Steve Tyler! Friggin awesome hahaha!

After arriving in Florida, I went to a dorm-style house and met with some Filipinos (familiar faces, looks like some of them are my ex-officemates). I was too shy to get in so I just stayed at the doorstep, smiling and saying hi to everyone coming in and out LOL. I already forgot the rest…I might have woken up…not usre if I stayed the rest of the night in that dorm or if I went out to look for affordable hotels in orlando Florida.

I swear, I have dreamed about the same thing before…same concept but just different destinations. Could this mean my inner self is wishing to run away, move forward and settle abroad? I guess so. Let’s wait until September! Meantime, I’ll try to enjoy every minute and every second of every day.

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream

Posted on March 17, 2012 by malensky


Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream, 780P

My daily beauty regimen before going to work is just moisturizer and Nivea lip gloss. Oh yes, I am very very low maintenance lols. It’s not because I don’t want to but my skin irritates easily making it hard for me to apply anything on my face. As much as I want to go to work in the mornings with smokey eyes, lustrous lips and pink cheeks lols, I can’t! But there’s one thing that I really really like to put on my face and it’s super awesome – Precious Mineral BB Cream from Etude House. When I first tried it, wow, I became blemish-free in an instant! I couldn’t see my pores and the color blends well with my skin tone! It’s a must-have-item! I  recommend this to every kikay out there, a bit pricey but really worth your 780P!

Experience Hot Spring in Pansol Laguna

Posted on March 17, 2012 by malensky

My friends and I went to a Hot Spring Resort last month and oh boy was I shocked! I was so shocked to find out that this is what Hot Spring in Laguna looks like:

But that’s just a tiny swimming pool! LOL. I am sooo naive. All these years I was thinking of something else. I thought we’d go to a cave or a secluded area like a forest or mountain with a hot spring in it!

I am not used to swimming in a warm water so the experience was quite a surprise for me. I like it so much. I was wondering how the water got really warm, I thought they were using raypak heat pumps to warm it but that process might cost a lot of money. I didn’t realize the water was coming from the mountain.

I am definitely going back to Pansol to experience this again, but not any time soon. Summer is here and my next destination is Bora/Cebu/Bohol but due to schedule conflicts (and financial crisis lol), I might just go to Puerto Galera again.

Dinner at Sambokojin

Posted on March 9, 2012 by malensky

Super late post here!


Had another dinner date at Sambokojin a few weeks back, with Ruthie and my dear friend Lizzie, who plays the Bass guitar like a pro! I love your bangs, Liz! Suits you well. Sayang, Aimz could not make it that day, we missed you! How are you doing? Hope we can see you soon.

I love these eat-all-you-can Yakiniku restaurants! I really like it that you can select and cook your own food right at the table. It’s fun! They’re also reasonably priced. Personally, I prefer Sambokojin, their yakiniku grilled meats and flavor are far better than Yakimix’s, but I must say that Yakimix’s California maki and sushis are the best! There’s another yakiniku restaurant in Eastwood but haven’t tried it yet. Maybe on the next payday! WAIT!!!! I almost forgot…I’m on a diet!

Where to invest your PHP10,000?

Posted on March 9, 2012 by malensky

PHP10,000 may not sound like much, but if you know where to invest your money well, you can double-triple its value. Merely putting it on your bank account will yield a very small return.

There are other options you could do – use your 10K money to invest in Mutual Fund; use it to buy stocks; buy insurance/savings policy; use it to buy gold online at Golden Eagle; put it in a Time Deposit; or use it to start investing on a business.

I would like to try all that someday, esp. stocks investment but I’m still learning how the whole thing operates.

My New Favorite Guy…Jeremy Lin

Posted on February 26, 2012 by malensky

I have always rooted for the Lakers but a few weeks back, I tuned in to Lakers vs Knicks and oh boyyyy…I became a Knicks fan in an instant..all because of Jeremy Lin!!! His story can be well described as modern-day Cinderella. He has come out of nowhere to become a  superstar! He’s an awesome Asian American NBA player, a devout Christian with a Harvard degree and he’s super cute! I have come across his youtube channel once  but I didn’t realize he’s that same Asian cutie making funny videos with Kevjumba. He’s really really awesome, watch his youtube videos in case you’ve missed out on Linsanity…and you will surely like him too!

Why I need a treadmill

Posted on February 26, 2012 by malensky

My fitness trainer told me that all I need is 20 mins treadmill workout everyday to stay fit and healthy. That sounds easy! I can do that! Haaay, only if I have a treadmill at home, but my house is so tiny I don’t have a lot of space to put it in.

I can always get a compact treadmill, something that can be folded small so I can just keep it when not in use. That’ll even save me a lot of time and money since I can use it at my own convenience. I can jog/walk anytime I want while I blast hiphop music with my ultrasone headphones. Best part of all, everyone in my family can also use it, right? So, yesss, when my contract with fitness gym ends, I’m surely going to buy that treadmill and start losing 50lbs!

Backpack or Duffel Bag?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by malensky

Now that I am getting back to the gym, I need new sets of gym clothes and a new gym bag. I want a new Nike duffel bag or Eastpak high school backpacks where I can stuff my gym clothes, toiletries, towel and all the other things I bring everyday in the office. I recently bought a new pair of rubber shoes and it’s bulky I had to bring put it on a separate bag! I need a huge bag so I wont have to bring my shoe bag everyday…I guess the perfect choice is a big duffel bag, no? BUT I WANT A BACKPACK!

Getting Back to the Gym

Posted on February 17, 2012 by malensky

Spent 5 hours in the gym yesterday with Aila and Japox for a tremendous workout. I thought I was going to faint after doing the last dance class. I felt really really bad it’s like every particle of my body was going to explode. I took a shower and felt better…but soon as I came out, I was collapsing.

I wanted to ask for a medical assistant in the gym to look into my condition but I didn’t see anyone wearing a dickies scrubs so I thought maybe they don’t have any….besides I already lost all my energy to ask and walk so I just endured the pain until I got home. I don’t know what caused it but maybe lack of sleep and hunger (since I’m on a diet I only ate bread yesterday). I am never going to do that again – working out for more than 1 hour with an empy stomach and not having enough rest!

Today, my body aches all over…my thighs are hurting it’s so hard to walk. I haven’t gone to the gym for 3-4 years and have not done any workouts other than running and some simple exercises, my body is having a hard time to adapt. Hoping I’d get better on Tuesday. I’m determined to go back to t he gym, I just have to be extra careful now.
