Beauty 101

By | Beauty | No Comments

We know that we cannot learn to put perfect make up in a 3 hour session, but it is important and good to learn how to understand our skin type, to understand the basics of putting make up, and knowing the importance of taking care of one’s skin and always looking presentable.   Make up is not always having to color your face and looking so dressed up but looking good in a natural way.  And Bobbi Brown is known for creating that look.  

Proper make up also brings out the best in one’s features so it would be good to learn how to apply it on yourself.  Thanks to Tisha Cruz Bautista and CAS for hosting Mothers Club and for the beauty tips.

Jungle Joe’s World

By | For kids, Travel | 2 Comments

Javs and I discovered this new place in Subic.  It just opened last December 15.  They are only in their first phase and have many grand plans.  They have indoor and outdoor activities.  They even have a beach area which is still under development. The entrance fee was only P 280.00 which includes already 3 drinks.  I guess because not everything is fully operational yet.  I hope that all their plans push through as they have many more great ideas to implement. A bit too hot during the summer for the outdoor activities, but the indoor ones are airconditioned.  Definitely another place to go to while in Subic.  sc00034a2301.jpg

QUESO

The Pinoy’s version of a cheese desset.  Fresh cheese blended in creamy, milky sorbetes and dotted with “cheese” bits as how Pinoys know and love it.  Queso is another unique sorbetes flavor that is dairy nutritious and dairy delicious.

Buffet by Alba

By | Foodie | No Comments

Last month we ate in Alba’s and was surprised to see they had a buffet for P 550.00.  We were five in the group and we all had the buffet.  It included almost all the bestsellers plus more.  When we eat Spanish food we like doing it family style but when you are in a small group, buffet would be good because you can have a wide variety to choose from. I thought it was a great deal and the food was very good.753194679503_0_bg.jpg

Appetizers/Tapas 263194679503_0_bg.jpg

The dips were good and the assorted chorizos..yum yum!   463194679503_0_bg.jpg663194679503_0_bg.jpgCochinillo and Crispy Pata- very popular!  When I am about to take a picture, the food disappears so fast.   863194679503_0_bg.jpg573194679503_0_bg.jpg

All the chafing dishes were always being refilled as turnover was very fast…..773194679503_0_bg.jpg 

And of course the paella!  

The paella also goes so fast so I think i went back to the buffet table like 3 or 4 times to keep checking for a better photo opportunity.  It was so hard. 973194679503_0_bg.jpg

The desserts were also very good!!! The crepes samurai was different because the top was like the top of a creme brulee.  It was really good. The canonigo! yum yum!  I was lucky to get a photo because I took the photo while everyone was still eating their main- but everything in that dessert buffet disappeared after awhile.283194679503_0_bg.jpg953194679503_0_bg.jpgalba0017.jpgalba0018.jpgalba0019.jpgalba0020.jpgalba0021.jpgalba0023.jpg

Camp Cali – Fun, Friendship and Freedom

By | For kids, Summer | No Comments

Jaime and his cousin, Ramon, joined Camp Cali in the Summer of 2006.  I shared this with some friends and up to this day, I get many inquiries on Camp Cali.   So here are the photos from Camp 2006 and info on this summer’s camp.

********************************

Camp Cali 2006

We picked up Jaime on his last day of camp. Our sister Dina told us about it and we decided to let our sons, Jaime and Ramon, join. We witnessed the last day of camp and were amazed!! Sharing with you the photos. We highly recommend you send your children as well.

Dear Friends and Family,

Two years ago, a couple of friends and I interested in youth development put up an honest-to-goodness residential Summer Camp for kids 7-11 and 12-15 years of  age. Located on an island at beautiful Lake Caliraya in Laguna, we are offering a  variety of activities and lessons for participants, in a beautiful natural environment. Kids can be themselves, experience community living and explore the natural environment underthe watchful eye of camp counselors under our supervision.

We love having groups of cousins and  friends come together for a week of fun, friendship and freedom. The Camp Cali experience is guaranteed to be a milestone in every young person’s life. Check us out. Camp Cali is The Place for Kids!

All the best!

Mark P. Joseph
