Let’s learn what blogger’s favourite meal (Breakfast) is. A simple straightforward meme and great for link love. Have a good Breaky!

The Longest Breakfast Menu List
Everyone likes to start their day with a comfort food for breakfast. What kind of food do you take? This would be a good way to find out your blogger friend’s favourite food for breakfast.
All you need to do is to put your name down, the country you are in and your favorite breakfast meal. Let’s see how we can have this breakfast ‘menu’ travelled all around cyberspace and learn what each blogger living in different country and what they eat for breakfast. This meme was created by a little lady with a penchant to spy around little baskets while marketing. Her favorite breakfast of the day is none other than Roti Prata, an indian flat bread. What about you? What is your favorite breakfast meal of the day?

Longganisa, fried rice, and sunny side up eggs — my favorite breakfast meal since I can remember. Jollibee or just plain home-made cooked one is fine as long as my breakfast meal consists of these three. I just had it a few minutes ago, in fact. And three days before

Speaking of breakfast, I almost lost my appetite for it when I learned that another one of our company vehicles got into an accident. Although this is already the third car that got caught into an accident this month, I am still thankful as none of our employees were physically harmed. I am also lucky that our company’s insurance needs are being serviced by a dependable insurance broker. They definitely make life easier for me as just a few calls are needed and the claim is immediately dealt with. So unless they start giving me headaches, transferring accounts is an issue I’m not going to bother with.
If you are scouting for an insurance company, I could refer you to mine. Or, you could begin your search on Quotezone Insurance just to give you an idea of what the current rates and premiums are.

“The philosophy of toys: “all children talk to their toys; the toys become actors in the great drama of life, scaled down inside the camera obscura of the childish brain” - Charles Baudelaire
I recently got bitten by the ebay-bug — in the butt — right where my wallet is located!!! And it still hurts like h&!!! Kelly has paypal. That made it so easy. Let me correct that — “had” paypal. Bad trip yang bidding process na yan. Akala mo lang mura pa pero hindi na pala!! “Mura” lang kasi 2nd hand. Sana ayos naman yung “goods” pagdating, kundi iiyak na lang ako. Clue on what they are? Read the quote above
I’ll post pictures when i get them (when my mom arrives this weekend).
Hay!!! Tagal!”

Next on my (ever-changing) wishlist: Something in mini lin ebene and/or pomme.

Ever since I went off the pill, my face started acting up. My t-zone became as oily as ever, and as a result, pimples started popping out of my face, particularly on my forehead. I’ve been religiously treating them using the topical medication but the effects are only temporary. As soon as a pimple dries up, two new ones immediately start to appear! I really think it’s time for a totally new regimen. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the Proactiv acne cream though I still have to consult about its efficacy. To be on the safe side, I guess I’ll take a trip to my dermatologist soon to end my acne problems.

My Five Make-Up Essentials:
1. Shu Uemura’s Velvet Perfect Powder Foundation

If I could only bring one make-up essential in my purse, this would be it. I’ve been using this powder foundation for several years and I don’t plan on shifting to another brand any time soon (I am curious though how the MAC Studio Fix will perform on my skin). I love that it comes in powder form as I am not a big fan of cream foundations. Its coverage is neither too thick nor thin; just enough to hide some of the flaws. It’s perfect for everyday use.
2. Cinema Secrets Concealer

I just started using a concealer this year. Yep, just this year
as I never found the need for it (haha!) until recently. I really wanted to buy YSL’s Touche’ Eclat or Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage but in the end decided to road test Cinema Secrets. The concealer does eliminate dark circles, spots, and redness, though not completely. It haven’t caked on my face so far so that’s a plus. Overall, I’d probably give it a B.
3. Bobbi Brown Blush

Bobbi Brown was the first brand of make-up that I fell in love with. I especially love their lipsticks and blushes.
4. Burts Bees Lip Shimmer

Great for dry lips like mine and the hint of color isn’t bad either. This probably is the second most essential piece in my make-up kit.
5. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I had this eyelash curler for several years already and I absolutely love it! This product truly delivers the perfect curl! I urge you to go and get one for yourself (if you don’t have it yet)
I want to know your make-up essentials (especially those chicks who are studying or have studied in cosmetology schools. I could take some pointers, you know
) Em, Jody, Gracie, Tracy, Peachy, Jesse, and Maver

Rising prices of fuel, food and raw materials! This is the hottest headline in the news today. Countries are bracing for double digit inflation which could probably come to a head still in the 4th quarter of this year. The good news? Hedge your money with what’s available in the market. If you’re patient money, go for real estate. If you’re after the quick fix invest in money market or even fuel reserves. Another investment that’s taken the back stage are precious metals, specifically gold, silver and platinum. I recently read that individuals are given the chance to invest (by some companies like Monex Deposit Company) in these precious metals whether you want it delivered at your doorstep or kept in safe storage at a bank or any depository. Worth a look? Definitely! And since its gold and silver, we’re talking about sure things here. Good, old-fashioned, physical objects (think gold bars). And, not just numbers written on paper. Its time to start looking; unless you want to wait for worst news before you act.

Just had to buy those for Manu when I saw a little boy wearing them. But I never thought buying them would require so much effort as I almost went to Trinoma all the way from Parañaque just to see if there’s one available in the little boy’s size. I didn’t do that of course. Just called every branch of Nike and checked the availability. Unfortunately, Manu’s size wasn’t available in any of their branches. I almost gave up until I remembered that Rustan’s was carrying the brand and they had Manu’s size. Such luck!
And now I am in the hunt for this

I believe this is available only in Hong Kong. I actually saw them first at Ocean Terminal but didn’t buy it (I was stripped of cash; spent everything already
). When we came home, I absolutely regretted not buying it so I immediately asked a friend to buy a pair for me. Unfortunately, the largest size available was a 7c, which is just too small now for the little boy. Kainezzz. I should have bought them the first time I saw them.
