More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

We've been seeing each other less ever since we graduated from school
. That's why maybe I'm always giddy and happy when I know Patrick will come over.

Today we were supposed to meet up with a supplier for a project were doing together, but when we called the person we were supposed to meet, she told us she's out and to just come back tomorrow. (ugh.. annoyed, coz this isn't the second time).

So we decided to eat somewhere. And... as usual it took a while before we decide a place to eat, good thing I remembered that Flaming Wings has flied over Laguna Central - the mall just beside Paseo de Sta. Rosa.

On our table...

5-pc Buffalo Wings (Flavor: Original & Mild N' Sweet | Dip: Honey Mustard & Balsamic Mayo)
I think I have to order something spicier next time! Haha.

To explain lettuce, it is part of the Lettuce Wrap dish we ordered.


(I wasn't able to take a photo of the rice noodles before we messed it up! Hahahaha.)


And despite the cold weather and Typhoon Glenda coming, we wouldn't miss on the famous Wicked Oreos, who wouldn't?... right? right?? :P


Hahaha. Boyfie's reaction to my wait-i'm-still-taking-a-photo-of-the-food mode. It's a challenge for me to take photos of what we eat because of him, most of the time he would say 'tapos na? (are you done yet?)' or 'bilisan mo (hurry up)' whenever I do, because he's already hungry. Since, I'm a very considerate girlfriend (yes i am! :P) I stop myself and let him eat specially when I know he's hungry. I'm glad his become supportive now. :D

Anyway.... I thought we were here for some snack and a light meal, to cheer us up to an unexpected turn of events but we came home with a full stomach.


Btw, I liked how they styled their wall with different photos, I'll probably do the same in my future home.

I wonder when I will be back for some more Wicked Oreos!

*Flaming wings have closed it's doors as of 2015. :(

I went out with my parents, just me and them without my brothers to Tagaytay. My parents run a Photobooth service (Party Treasures) and we went there to meet-up with Towns Delight.
While on our way, we passed by The Original Buko Pie Bakeshop, i believe a lot of Pinoy's know about it, their buko pie sell like pancakes!

So, since a lot of people were buying my mom had to have her name listed. They don't allow reservations or such, you have to be willing to wait. We didn't want our effort and chance wasted, even if we just live in sort of close by. My dad was the one who spontaneously chose to eat at Farm Foodies, the new (i'm not sure if it's been there for a while, looks new to me!) restaurant just beside the buko pie shop. (Btw, I hoarded some chichapops on that store too. Ughh, I shouldn't I so love chips, if you're not familiar with the food, i'll share a pic sometime)

Farm Foodies the Filipino Kitchen, obviously offer Filipino Food. And I admit, I am not a fan of Filipino food even though I am 100% Pinay. (I'd rather eat pizza)



We only ordered three dishes. Crispy Sinigang, Pinangat na Isda and Bagnet Salad (the bagnet was my choice).

What can I say? Well, I don't think words are enough to describe how yummy and savory these were. I loved them all (take it from someone whose not into Pinoy food, but everyone has different tastes so I'm not sure with you). My parents and I were really happy with our meals. I specially enjoyed the bagnet.

Look at the jar!


Took me a while (1234134 seconds, kidding) to realize it was my water to drink. I thought it was a decoration of some sort added to my table. (Lol, Silly Me-ca! :P)

I loved not just the food but the place as well. I liked their bamboo walls and their chairs and tables. It's my kind of place.


That's the bamboo entrance to the restaurant.

The Verdict: I am totally going back! I do hope that when you go to
Tagaytay, you'd get a chance to eat here too. (And.... They also have an ice cream parlor downstairs)

Last Saturday, May 31 I was able to attend Philippine Fashion Week. Thanks to the company I work for, Clozette and to Cristina, our marketing manager.

It was a great opportunity to watch the show, and see the designs of local fashion designers. How I envy and wish to be a fashion designer.

My weapon of choice to cover the event was my Olympus EPL-5. I had two regrets that day. Go over my snapshots and finish my post to know what my regrets were. (Warning: Long post but worth it)

Designer: Happy Andrada



Designer: Julius Tarog





Okay so I was trying and trying to get decent photos. Switching over my camera and my iphone to see which will give me a better shot but neither did. So I was about to give up. T_T It was so frustrating.

But I did not give up! I tried to change the mode settings in my camera and viola!~

Designer: Lizanne Cua



Designer: Pat Santos

Spotted Cheng (Shermaine) in action.

Designer: Roland Lirio

I was into taking pictures of Cheng I missed Katarina, AsnTM Finalist.


The only picture I got of Katarina that looks decent came out blurred. Anyway, that's her! Haha.

Designer: Veejay Floresca



Designer: Xernan Orticio



Designer: Yvonne Quisumbing



At this point my camera was already running out of battery.


That's a wrap for the 12:30 show and also that's the end of my camera battery life. The two things I regret is first, I wish I had known my camera well and had taken better shots at the beginning of the show, second, I wish I charged my cam's battery or I had an extra battery. Oh well, lesson learned! Atleast I didn't have to edit more photos and create another post for the 3:30 PM show.

The design showcase from the 3:30 PM show were fantastic as well. It was a lost opportunity to take photos but never a lost opportunity for experience.

After the 3:30 PM show which ended past 5 I met up with Patrick to watch X-Men but all tickets for 7PM & 8PM were sold out and we didn't want to stay out late. So we watched Maleficent instead.

I didn't upload my #ootd because I wanted a nice photo but If you want to see what I wore to the event you can check my instagram account: @micabdeleon
