More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

Major backlog.... but there will be always time for things. And when it comes to our daily schedules it’s best to take track of time. Thanks to Peter Henlein for bringing us the small timepiece we know as Watch.

Patrick and I just happen to be hanging around Paseo for our 5th anniversary, since it’s near our place and we weren’t able to plan anything coz’ I was busy at school, when we spotted a store full of watches (the word ‘outlet’ was flashing at our eyes). We barged in! And I took pictures to share it to people who might be interested. And so, store spotlight this time is Time Collection Outlet Store at Paseo de Santa Rosa.



They have a variety of Casio watches...



and some Casio G-Shock..



and many more at discounted prices.. You’ll surely enjoy checking out the place.



The trip to Time Collection ended up great for someone who finally bought his watch or should i say watches. Patrick’s been looking for a timepiece to replace his current one. I got one too but I’ll keep that watch to myself. Hahaha. You’ll be seeing it in some of my ootds anyway.



It’s really nice to be living close to a place full of outlet stores. I adore outlet stores, who doesn’t? It’s always smart to save on cost when buying stuff, specially when they are of good quality too.
If you’ll be dropping by Paseo de Sta. Rosa, take the chance to visit Time Collection. It’s also a perfect gift for the upcoming holidays.

See you!

A beautiful, cozy and heart-warming place to dine at Tagaytay. Cafe Voi La serves us with Asian Fusion cuisine. A perfect place for people looking for good food, cool weather and tranquility.



Cafe Voi La have heavenly cakes that Patrick had me taste before but I never had a chance to actually eat at the restaurant until a few days ago. I got so excited because Patrick kept on telling me about the place and that I should try their salmon. Mhhmm, SALMON. :)




After making ourselves ready and set. We were served with FREE FOOD (lol). Breads with tomato & olive oil dip. No, sorry really I don’t know what ingredients used for the dip, I made all that up. Patrick, ate the other bread already.



First on our plate.. Special Senator’s Salad [P395], assorted green lettuce, paper thin slice of smoked salmon, grilled prawns, shitake mushroom and granished with parmesan shavings.

Wow two of my favorites in one! Mhmmm, salmon and shrimp.. This salad is definitely a yes for me! :D



This one’s for Patrick.. what do they call this again? Oh, the Massaman Back Ribs [P695].... The name of the meal itself is already mouthwatering.. Braised beef short rib with Massaman curry and Potato puree. The beef is tender, soft and melts in the mouth said Patrick... I had a few bites and I must say it’s good as well. I liked how the curry blends with the beef, even if it was new to my taste. So yes for their back ribs!



On my plate, Grilled Norweigan Salmon [P595] in Beurre Blanc sauce served with mashed potato and steamed vegetables. Salmon, the reason why Patrick wanted me to eat here at Cafe Voila... I must say, he did a great job on bringing me to Cafe Voila! Hahaha....

Looking at these photos make me want to drive to Tagaytay and have some healthy Norwegian salmon. It didn’t disappoint me, plus I like mashed potatoes very much too.





We still had some food left when we suddenly felt we were full, but I didn’t back down and ate all of my salmon.. I really wanted to have some of their cakes after but we were too full so we walked around a bit and took more photos of the place.




Here’s a bar were you can choose from over a list of drinks, I must say they offer quite a number of beverages and food. Their menu had so many, I’m glad I was with Patrick who knows what food to order.




Time for the most-awaited, must-try desserts.... Cafe Voi La makes some yummy home-made cheesecakes with over 7 flavors to choose from (Salted Caramel, Oreo, Blueberry, Tiramisu, Nutella, Apple Crumble, Maple Bacon). I’ve tasted the salted caramel and nutella before, opted for Nutella on that day because chocolate. The two flavors I’ve tried taste really good, the others is for you to discover (if you’d like, maybe me too) | Nutella Cheesecake [P195 per slice, P1500 for the whole cake.]



That’s all loves! Hope you could drop by the place and have some delightful dining experience too.

What I wore for a date....

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers is a fast-food chain from Hawaii serving creative burgers, plus sandwiches, fries & ice cream. It came to our shores on August 2014. Here at the 3rd floor of Greenbelt 3 in Ayala Center is Teddy’s Bigger Burgers first store location. And we’re here for a lovely dinner date... Feel free to look at the pictures as they do the talking. Hope this gets you hungry....



Here’s what it looks inside Teddy’s Bigger Burgers and Patrick checking the menu. And I take pictures of the menu... (since no one’s taking a picture of me.. as usal. lol. hahaha)




BURGGEERS! Lol. So many choices..



Plus a build your own burger...



They offer a lot more in their menu but I’ll leave that to you guys to check it all out. ;)



Hello it’s the both of us!



For our tummy, we got the Consolation Fries - thick cut potatoes with chili con carne, cheese sauce, sour cream, tomatoes and onion rings (P298) from the Starter Set.



Bacon Me Crazy Burger for Patrick - double smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese and honey. (P427) He asked for the Bigger size 7 oz. On my plate is Kailua Burger - teri sauce, swiss cheese, grilled onions & caramelized mushroom. Of course, as someone with a small stomach i just opted for the Big 5 oz. one.



Some beers...



By the way, we both had our burger patties medium rare. The burgers were enormous (for me!) I got the smallest size but for me it’s gigantic already. Hahaha. I should give up on being a foodie, but who cares! All of us are foodies!! We all love food. Right? Lol. I will not stop blogging about food! Hahaha.



Ooops.. now that I remember I wasn’t able to finish my burger, coz’ my stomach’s full coz of the fries and I had some of Pat’s Bacon Me Crazy as well.

I hope I had a bigger tummy to fill in this yummy burger in front of me. But despite me being a failure, I totally enjoyed eating at Teddy’s Bigger Burgers and would love to be back and finally finish my plate! Ha!. You wouldn’t care, but I wished I took a bite of the onion rings on the Consolation Fries sooner, they tasted so good and crunchy!! I’ve been busy eating the fries.



Also, I personally find it cool whenever there is nice typography in food places. So I took pictures of it too.



If BIGGER isn’t Better, then why am I so popular?




So that’s the end of my food post. Thanks for checking it out!

Make up for me!! Yey... Someone got me fab K Palette goodies. Thank you mi amor who traveled to Japan and got me ‘pasalubong’. I forced him to buy me stuff!! Kidding, I actually didn’t know what he could get me when he asked a few days before his flight. I would say hello kitty, this and that nonsense even though I adore a bunch of Japanese products, I couldn’t think of any, so brain dead. Until, I thought of makeup, and sent him product images of K Palette a few hours before he flies. And fast forward to his return... with K Palette stuff, some Meiji products as well as food. So, this haul is actually more like Patrick’s haul and not mine.

Ta-da!~ look how lovely these K Palette thingies are. So happy! Lol.



K Palette is actually available in Beauty Bar stores here in the Philippines but I guess I’m lazy to drop by (tsk tsk tsk) plus it’s cheaper in Japan (duh). And since I was asked what I wanted for ‘pasalubong’, thou shall not neglect! Lol.

Lets move on and break the haul into parts. First is K Palette Okuma Cover Control Concealer in shade 02 & 03 (there are three shades in total). The last time I had a concealer was like 11 years ago! Finally I have something to cover up my dark eye bags again. Yey!




Next... we have K Palette Lasting 2 Way Eyebrow, one of the most popular product. I heard it really stays the whole day.



Featuring K Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Pencil.



Lastly, the latest/newest product by K Palette. The Essence Shadow Liner, an eyeshadow and eyeliner in one that comes in four color combinations. I only requested for three shades. The other color is more of a dark brown/black shade.




I must say I’m lucky for being loved by someone and that he would actually buy me make up. I appreciate the thought (so much, lol). I wished I could have joined the trip though. (So I could get even more beauty products! Lol, kidding).

That’s all folks! I will be trying these K Palette products soon... and will share it here in the blog as well. Some of you guys may have tried it out. Like a friend of mine who told me about K Palette and how great the product is, and made me want to have the product. If you’ve tried it already, feel free to share if the product worked for you by commenting below.

Hope you guys liked Patrick’s haul! (Haha) Til’ the next blog post.
