SumoSam Saves the Day

Two weeks ago, my family had planned on watching Monsters University (my mom was very insistent that we watched ASAP :p). We got to the mall around 5pm and immediately lined up to buy tickets. Unfortunately, when we got to the counter, the movie was already sold out - up to the last screening! So instead of sulking in a corner and begging for people to sell us their tickets, we decided to eat instead. 

We headed to SumoSam, one of our favorite restaurants, for an early dinner. Before opening their menu, we already had an idea of what we wanted to order. Ever since my mom, my sister and I tried their Chicken Teriyaki and Mangoes Pizza and Kani Sizzling Plate months ago, we never fail to order them every time we dine there. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't available, so we had to explore new options - which turned out to be a great idea.

My Favorite Photo

Enchanted Kingdom

This is probably one of my favorite photos ever. It was taken at Enchanted Kingdom some years ago. I kind of miss the place, even though I really only go on a handful of rides - like the Flying Fiesta (in the photo above), Rio Grande Rapids, Jungle Log Jam and Space Shuttle Max. I miss going there with friends and just running around like teens without a care in the world. Saya lang. :)

P.S. Anchors Away is not my friend. Never riding that dreadful thing again.

Music: Michael Henry & Justin Robinett

Just a quick post for today. For the longest time, I have been avoiding going on YouTube because of my slow internet connection. But since we've upgraded ours to Globe's plan P1299, I've been exposed to a ton of new music. The duo of Michael Henry and Justin Robinett have been at the top of my list of YouTube sensations for a while now and apparently, they've started making covers of Disney songs as well. 

Sharing this one in particular - Make a Man Out of You from the movie Mulan. I'm no music expert, but I especially love how this cover begins slow because it gives it that wow factor for when MHJR starts singing.


They also made a cover of Just Give Me a Reason by Pink feat. Nate Ruess, but I have to say, this Disney cover ranks higher in my book.

My other favorites from them include this Adele Medley (Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You and Turning Tables), When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars and Man in the Mirror by the late Michael Jackson.

What about you - who are your YouTube favorites? Let me know! :)

French Tips: Of Pink and Gray

NC_1

I am loving this French tip combo I tried at Nail Cocktales last week!

I wanted to try something new for my beach trip over the weekend. And it was so worth it!:)
I'm definitely coming up with more color combinations in the weeks/months to come. ♥

If you wish to try it yourself, the polish used were Orly Cupcake (for the base) and Orly Mirror Mirror (for the tips)
Thank you so much to Ms. Nerie, Ms. Crystal and Ms. Michelle! Until next time :)
