More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

Hey guys, how’s your lives lately? It’s been a crazy hectic months for me.. Right now, I’ve been attending classes for 1 week straight and working on homeworks in between. Plus some projects for my previous classes that I have yet to do. That’s why I really need some pampering as soon as possible. Like some face mask to soothe and relax my facial skin.



These are affordable face masks that I picked on the racks of our local supermarket here in Santa Rosa, Laguna. I’ve tried Skinlite Brightening Essence Mask before and it was nice on the face. I started using face masks because of it, and wanted to try other face mask products. So let’s break down these three face masks I bought...


A face mask I’ve used before.. I included this in the haul since I haven’t done a review for this face mask product. Plus, so my post looks like it’s actually a haul. Lol. Kidding. But this post isn’t a review post either I’m just sharing with you guys, giving a heads up to what would probably be in my next post. Soon I’ll be available to work on a in-depth review on each of these products since classes will be stopped for a month due to some unfortunate events.



I haven’t tried theses two masks, I hope they’ll do me good.



This one looks so cute, that’s why I wanted to try it out. Plus it’s cheap. But of course, we want it to work and benefit our skin. That I will know.

That’s all the masks I’ll be trying out and do a review (if it turns out well, lol). If you’ve tried any of these products, you might want to share your experience with me?

Til’ you visit me again, lots of love.

Another errand day to squeeze in a date with Patrick (and a blog post). We went to Alphaland Southgate Mall for some work related stuff and saw a diner with cool industrial-ish interior. Befor trying out the diner, we toured around the mall first since it’s Patrick’s first time there.. Then went back to Gorkys Pizzeria when we’ve seen all stores and coz’ I was hungry.



EAT! Yes, we will. They have a long list in there menu, and since it’s our first time trying Gorkys we struggled a bit on what to order (as always when we’re trying out new places). But looking through their list I quickly decided to try the Spicy Shrimp Pasta. Not knowing that it’s Gorkys bestseller. Up’d it as meal with Iced Tea and a Large Pizza.




Patrick wasn’t sure what to eat yet, so we sat down first while we wait for my plate that came just a few minutes after we were seated down. Thumbs up for a quick serve!




Ta, da!! Look at the shrimps, they were bigger and a lot more than I thought.



Here comes the pizza... Came in a few minutes after the pasta. Another fast serve. Okay, so what do I have to say on Gorkys Pizzeria Spicy Shrimp? No cover ups but I absolutely enjoyed my plate.. I was surprised with the quantity and size of their shrimp, some diners would just have 2-3 small pieces of shrimp in their pastas. It’s actually a treat to get 2 pieces coz’ I would usually just see 1 pc of shrimp served. The spice on the shrimp pasta is just average. And the pizza, it’s okay too! I like how the crust had the right thinness, I wish my pizza had a lot more cheese though, hahahaha.. Put more cheeesee.. lol. All in all the pastae meal of 199.00 (Pasta with large size pizza, choose from cheese, hawaiian or pepperoni) is totally worth the price. Sulit na sulit nmn.



Btw, I was almost finished with my meal yet, Pat couldn’t decide on what to eat yet... He had a few bites from my shrimp pasta and pizza. Instead of trying other meals on their menu, he decided to order the same as mine. That means, he loved the food as much as I did. I assume...

Actually, just a side note... When we ordered food, there were only the two of us but then after a few minutes later people were coming in, probably coz’ office hours has just ended and people started to go home by then. We noticed almost, actually if not all, MOST of the customers of Gorky’s ordered Spicy Shrimp Pasta. It’s obviously their best seller.



Here’s their set meals for your reference....



And their solo meals. You can grab some pizza, pasta or some chicken wings if you like.
I do hope Gorky’s would be able to branch out soon, like in BGC or in the south (to have it closer to our place)? Anyway, if you happen to pass by Alphaland make sure to try it out with a friend or with your family perhaps. That’s all..

See you in my next post.

Hi there! It’s another outfit post for today! I’ve been an unstoppable online shopper. I would most likely buy clothes online every month (don’t get me wrong I still save, I save a lot)... Coz’ I like supporting and buying from independent sellers like instagram sellers. Previously, I would always check out my shopping account (yes I’ve got a separate account that I use to follow brands, so I don’t miss out posts from people close to me ) before going to bed. That has lessened recently, coz’ I am broke, hahaha. I’m not employed anymore and am spending a lot in school! Good thing I’ve got savings! So guys, be sure to save!! So anyway... here’s the full look and the brands that I wore (legit and safe brands you can shop at instagram).




Simple and casual yet stylish look great for weekends, hanging out with friends, etc. I mixed up my basic cropped tee from Pinasrepubliq (Have 2 other colors but I lost my white one, boo) with an cute printed aztec pom pom shorts from i-Fassion.



For my bag, I chose this one from Forever Wishes that I can wear as a shoulder bag and a backpack.



To add a bit more style I accessorized with a Stoneriver by Kim Sabala necklace because stone necklaces are soo magical! And finished the full look with a platform sandals that I ordered from Taobao - shopping haven for budget people like meh.
