Thrifted Zara Shoes

Got a pair of ZARA four-inch heel (yes it's four-inch!!!) shoes from an Ukay-ukay shop at Pasong Tirad, Makati. However, the price was not too cheap..... but because I really need to have black shoes with heels, and it's in super good conditon got it for Php 500.00 (a bit pricey mmm.. though i would say it's still a steal), buying Zara shoes even on sale would still cost me more than 2k.

It's a stylish patent leather shoes with wooden design heels.
I wore it today at the office and it was very comfortable..no blisters..mmm and i plan to use it again tomorrow!

Favourites at Plato Platina

One of the best restaurants in Metro Manila is Plato Platina. I frequent this place together with my officemates. I would always order either their Linguini Seafood Stroganoff ( it has squid, mussels, clams & shrimps in cream sauce) or their carbonara (with crunchy bacon). So so yummy!!! And their freshly baked bread.... mmm I usually request for the bread to be served while waiting for our order and would always ask for more =)

Dining at Plato Platina is not complete without having their "Lava Cake" as dessert.. I tell you their food plus their cozy ambiance is too addicting...

Plato Platina can be found at:

Yummiest Mango Cheese Cake!!!

It was love at first bite. I met this yummy cake when I was still working at Intramuros, Manila way back in 2001. Since then I have never stopped drooling over this yummiest mango cheese cake. Its fresh mango toppings is so irresistible, never mind the calories, it's not too sweet, tastes just right. This is really so delicious and yet so affordable!

The other Saturday Husband and I had dinner at Cafe Ilang Ilang at Manila Hotel and we were so lucky there was still a large mango cheese cake available for take-out though we did not call for reservation. It's available in two sized - large cake is being sold at P950.00, while the medium sized is P750.00, and can also be bought by slice.Too bad, Cafe Ilang- lang does not deliver, but really this cake is worth all the gas and distance =)

For info below is the Cafe's full style:

Burberry London Body/Shoulder Bag fr UK UK

Just last Wednesday, 01.07.209 8pm when husband and I were on our way home from buying groceries from Puregold-Makati, I saw this Ukay-Ukay store at 30% discount near Pasong Tirad St., Makati, I asked my dearest husband if he could stop the car and give me 10-minutes to check some bargains. And much to my surprised, he gave me the "thumbs-up" :D. I immediately get-off and quickly checked some of the Ukay-ukay store's bags and clothes since 10minutes is 10minutes. Soon as I saw this burberry bag, I held on to it and never let go.

It's in almost new condition, with no damages whatsoever, except for some pen marks at the back part of the bag which was easily washed-off with alcohol, thanks goodness. Got this for only P200.00, originally priced at P380.00 ofcourse with some tawad.Soon as i got home, I cleaned it with soap, water, pledge and sprayed it with Lysol to disinfect. And used it the following day!!!

Aside from this pretty burberry bag, i also got a Burberry plain blue longsleeve and Black Fendi Handbag :) both in very good condition!!!

Longchamp Bag from UK :)

Let me share with you some of my branded bags found at Ukay-Ukay for such a bargain price. Bought this medium-sized Longchamp bag for only P120.00, it was actually priced at P220.00 and i haggled and haggled til Manong gave-up and gave it to me at P120.00 heheeh. seems I have a gift when it comes to making tawad. I told him the bag is too simple and doubtful if it will be bought.

I usually use this bag when i have a lot of kikay stuffs to carry and when not im not in the mood to dress up. Or when i go malling or doing my grocery in shorts or mini skirts. Use this also sometimes in the office.

Im so happy I got this bag!!!
