Kuching Malaysia

When you're in Malaysia, you have to drop by Kuching.
Wanna go to the beach? Is trekking your thing? You fancy old and historical places?
Then this should be a part of your Malaysia trip! :)













Pitcher Plants - Looks familiar? ;)

Tight bear hugs to my twin brothaa, JM Cabato :)

The Ali Mall Cineplex 4



The Ali Mall Cineplex 4, situated at the topmost level of Ali Mall, is a state-of-the-art cinema complex with the latest amenities to ensure maximum convenience, comfort and viewing pleasure. The 548 total seat complex consists of four 60-foot wide screens providing moviegoers a more intimate but no less exciting viewing experience.

Like the cinemas at Gateway, Ali Mall Cineplex 4 uses the Boral cinema acoustical wall system to ensure total sound realism. Built-in JBL surround speakers driven by powerful QSC amplifiers are incorporated with the very latest Dolby Digital EX theatrical sound system so you can almost feel the emotion, drama and suspense of every anticipated film title. US-brand Simplex projectors provide crisp and clear pictures to make moviegoers feel like they’re right in the middle of every epic moment onscreen.

Stadium-style stepped seating ensures an unobstructed view of the wall-to-wall screens from every seat. The comfort designed chairs and armrest are all standard amenities. Ample legroom guarantees room to stretch and allow other patrons to pass with the least inconvenience.


The Cineplex’s central lobby is conveniently situated next to the mall’s foodcourt and provides a meeting point for those who want a little chitchat before seeing a film.


A large SNAXX counter offers the usual cinema favorites of soda, popcorn, hotdogs and nachos as well as candy, ice cream and other temptations.

The central box office features the Vista computerized ticketing system, a first in the Philippines. The Vista system provides fast ticket service, ensuring you get the seats you want on your chosen screening schedule, all with the touch of a screen. The system is also tied in with the ticketing service at Gateway Cineplex, ensuring moviegoers have a wide range of screening schedules to choose from, whether at Ali Mall or Gateway. And going to and fro between malls is a breeze with the free shuttle service provided for moviegoers.

Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense in 36 - Review, Photos, Swatches

Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense in 36 is a bright fuchsia pink with blue undertones. It is comparable to MAC Girl About Town, only this one is more pink. I particularly love this shade because the blue undertones helps in making my teeth look whiter. This is my first lipstick from Make Up For Ever, and so far I'm loving it. It is creamy, opaque, and long wearing. I'll say it has a semi-matte finish. The only thing that bothers me about it is the smell. It's scent is nice, don't get me wrong. I'm just not a fan of scented makeup. I pair this lipstick with Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip Pencil in 16C. :)

3-Day SALE at SM City Sta. Mesa: Must-Visit Stores

When there's a sale, especially a mall-wide sale, I get really excited and pumped up. 
I get a rush whenever I score awesome items at discounted prices. 

This weekend, there are several SM Supermalls that are on sale. Since I live in Manila, the closest to my place is SM City Sta. Mesa. Now let me share some of the stores in SM City Sta. Mesa that you have to visit. These are my picks because I think they have the best items at the best prices available this weekend.

3-day sales at SM Supermalls are the best, especially when you're an SM Advantage Cardholder because of the perks that come with it. The perks don't only apply in Watson's, SM Department Store or the Supermarket. There are other establishments that recognizes this awesome card, including Tea-rrific!







Of course, you cannot go there on a 3-day sale weekend without checking out the goods in the SM Department Store. Here are just some of the items that I'm sure you wouldn't wanna miss. :)


















Now the other stores that I suggest you should check out are the following:












and of course.. for all the shoe-obsessed ladies out there.. How can you skip Primadonna? :)







Now these are just some of the stores that I highly suggest you visit.
These are my choices because I myself patronize their products.
