Updo

Sharing one of my client's pictures during a wedding. She had long hair but her hair was very thin. She asked for an updo since she felt that she was having a bad hair day. I wanted to raise her confidence by giving her the it-girl package, so after doing her makeup, I proceeded with her updo.

Here is the final result. Very sleek, very classy and it keeps all her hair in place so she doesn't need to move it from her face.

Tips: For this look, I used a lot of hairspray, because she had layered hair. I also used a lot of hairpins to secure all the loose ends and to make it clean. For the bun, I used 1 hairnet to keep the hair in place. To add volume to her thin hair, I puffed it by teasing/backcombingb the hair before putting the hairnet. :)

Cinderella

Watched Cinderella last August 13. We were seated at Balcony 1 of CCP Theater for 1,030 each. We booked for this show really early thats why we were able to get good seats (we also choose to watch the weekday show to get better seats). At that time, no more good seats available for the weekend show.


The show started about 5 minutes late. We'll its still ok compared to other shows/concert which usually starts 30 mins late.

I'm sharing some of the pictures that i took during the play before i got caught. hehe

The glass slippers (it is shown before the movie started)

Their House (with the stepmother and two step sister Portia and Joy)
The Castle (with the king and queen)
The fancy carriage (with the horses and the fairy god mother)

This is one of Lea's fantastic work. Her acting and voice, well how can I describe it? It's really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She really really has strong and powerful voice. I also like her 2 stepsisters (Portia and Joy) perform, they are both funny.

The production was sooo good, the props were nice, how they changed the scenes (fast and not boring) sometimes they do it with a dance. I also like how Cinderella changed her costume from her ball gown to her rag dress for example.

The music was great too, especially "The Prince is Giving a Ball" song. They sang this song several times during the entire play. Around 3-4 times I think. My sister had LSS with that song after the show. hehe

Well this show is definitely worth your money. I would want to watch it again and again and again... hehe I'm giving it a 2 thumbs up!!! :)

Myron's

My dad was craving for steak last Sunday, so we initially planned to go to Racks. But the rain was pouring really hard so my mum suggested we eat in a mall so we won't have a hard time parking.

We ended up eating at Myron's in Powerplant.

There were so many people at Powerplant that day and we had to wait for our turn to be seated.

Here is the menu. The photo is a little small. My sister took most of the photos. But for most photos, I had to edit the colors since the place had dim light and the photos turned out quite dark. Had to adjust the brightness and contrast.

We ordered a lot. So without further ado,

Cream of Pumpkin Soup (P100)
This is very very yummy! I love the thickness and the texture of the soup. It really was delicious. It's a must try if you're dining in Myron's.

Mussels Mariniere (P200)
We ordered two bowls of this. It was good, but the soup was a little bit salty for my taste. And the mussels were small. :( I don't know if it's worth it, since I don't really know how much mussels cost.

Penne with Spicy Chorizo and Mushroom (P270)
I ordered this thinking it would be yummy. I love love love penne and red sauce. However, I was really disappointed. It was a sweet kind of pasta (Pinoy style but not Spagetchup :p). I really like Italian pasta where the sauce is a little bit in the sour side. I didn't also find a lot of chorizo. Not good.

On to our steak...

US Angus Pepper Steak 6 oz with sidings (P450)

Side of Rice

Side of Baked Potato

Side of Fries

Side of Mashed Potato

First of all, I ordered the one with mashed potato and I loved the mashed potato. It was uber delicious. But!!!!! The steak was too peppery. My sisters couldn't even eat it because it was too spicy for them, so they had to remove all the pepper before diving in. At first, it was just okay for me, but eventually, I really didn't like it anymore. The steak was tender enough although it was dry. There was too much pepper, way too much pepper, we can't taste the steak anymore. :( Bad bad bad order!

Duet of US Angus Steak and Grilled Prawns (P500)
This was the order of my mum. I got to try it, I liked the bacon part, and the steak wasn't as peppery as ours. But I think it's still not worth the price. I wasn't able to try the prawns since I'm allergic to them. Mum said we should have eaten at Everything at Steak. Haha! So I guess it means she didn't like her meal either.

Overall, the ambiance was okay. It was cozy, great for dates. But the customer service sucks big time. Right after my mum occupied one table, a waiter came up to us and asked her to stand up as he checks if we were supposed to sit there. We kept telling him the waitress outside asked us to enter and occupy the table, but he insisted we should wait for further instructions. THE NERVE!!! And as we ordered and asked for spoons/water/etc., they were not very pleased to be serving us, which we find quite annyoying. Never should they treat customers that way, whoever they are. Plus, the food wasn't anything spectacular. With that amount of money, it wasn't worth it. I am definitely not going back.
