Ghirardelli Chocolate

We visited my favorite Aunt (I call her Ate 'coz she's like 2 or 3 years older than me. She's my Dad's cousin, not my Dad's sister) and her wonderful husband at the Disney World Wilderness Lodge. They are from New York and they are here in Florida for their honeymoon. Too bad I forgot to bring our camera, that's why I wasn't able to take pictures with her and the hotel too. It's like being in a very huge log cabin and the place is a good spot to relax. We had to drive almost 45 minutes to get there though, so we can always opt to relax at home. When we left, my Aunt gave me this piece of chocolate 'coz she knows I love chocolates. haha! I even told her, give me a cheap piece of chocolate, I will still eat it as long as it's chocolate! I think I had too much of this though 'coz my throat hurts a little right now. I ran out of mineral water, so I was drinking like a bird. I did brush my teeth after going to bed, but I think the chocolate

Ben and Jerry's S'mores

I tried this out 2 weeks ago and I'm not a big fan 'coz it's too sweet for me. I have a sweet tooth, but this one was sweeter than what I can take. It took me 3 or I think 4 days just to finish the whole pint 'coz I feel like ants will be attacking me when I sweat. I don't remember tasting the marshmallows... or maybe I was just too bothered by its sweetness that I forgot it had marshmallows. Beware of that yellow thing right there. It's like eating a spoonful of sugar. You have disappointed me, S'mores. 

I love finding great stuff on sale!

On a rainy Monday afternoon in Orlando, my hubs and I  decided to spend time checking out the Mall at Millenia and Florida Mall, since it's Labor day and I've heard that they put up good deals during holidays like this. We checked out the Old Navy outlet near the Mall at Millenia and I'm happy to find a pair of jeans on clearance and it says $8.99 on the tag! I immediately tried it on and voila! It fits me( a little tight on the waist, but I can still zip the whole thing. :p) and there's no need to fix the hem. It's from Diva and the original price was $19.99. Original price was $19.99 and I got this for $8.99 Then we went to the Florida Mall and since we park near JCPenny, we checked the the deals they had today. There's this one pair of jeans that I'v fallen in love with lately. It's called jeggings - they are leggings which are styled to look like tight denims. I like it because it looks like one of those skinny jeans, but it's not purely d

The Perpetually Tanned Filipina's Thursday bus adventure

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD. Read at your own risk. If there is one thing I have learned today, it's that attracting positive thoughts brings you positive results. I took the bus for the 3rd time today, 'coz my hubs had to work and I didn't want him to take a day off just to drive me to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). I had to go there to get my non-driver ID for the nth time 'coz I received a letter in the mail saying that I had a discrepancy on my birthdate. To me it was impossible 'coz all of my documents indicate the same birthdate. Since it was indicated in the letter that I had to go to their office and present documents, I took all the courage to take the bus - with a new route today. I went to the Social Security office two times, so I was familiar with that route. I woke up at 9am to get ready 'coz I knew that the bus will be passing by our street at 10-ish. I had to put sunblock on my face, but totally forgot to apply sunblock on my legs and
