Mi-Law(son)

Looks like everyone's trying to get into the Milo game.


Now, Lawson also has RTD Milo as part of their drink mix!

It's slightly cheaper than the 7-11 one, but it's a bit light on the Milo flavour. So, while I'd reach for it in case there are no other options around, it won't be my top choice.

But it's good to have options.

Curry in a hurry

That was the name of one of our fave Indian restaurants in HKG. My colleagues and I would go there whenever we had our Indian food cravings.

But this isn't about that restaurant.

It's about the joy of being able to enjoy a SG-style curry puff, right here in QC.


Yup, today was another Hong Lim curry puff day. Thanks, Trinoma!

While it's still not 100% the same experience as getting it at Hong Lim Square in Chinatown in SG, this is a good alternative.

Until the next SG trip, of course.

What a (trick or) treat!

Once again, Halloween descends upon Park Avenue Townhouses.

And the residents came prepared!

Ate Juliet's house decor looks so original! According to Louie, most of it was made by hand!


We didn't have elaborate decors at home. But we had loot, which was important.


It's always a treat doing this every year.

FMM: Das it!

Funny how our rides home from the office trigger a Friday Magic Madness post.

Yesterday, the Grab ride was playing 80s songs, and a German song suddenly came on, and it brought me back to 1978!


"Das Model" by Kraftwerk is a pop-synth-electornica song that was popular during parties in the 80s. And I"m not surprised. It's so catchy and danceable. 

It was so popular, they also had an English version.


Das why I'm listening to it again.

Chanced upon this moment at McDonald's in Strata, and ha to take it!


The golden arches look like the cat's ears!

Love ko 'tong photo na 'to!

Hop to it!

Another Thai brand is landing on Philippine shores!


Yup, that popular bag brand that a lo of Pinoys line up for will open in Trinoma soon. Now, people won't have to fly to BKK to get their House of Little Bunny fix.

I'm surprised that they came here ahead of Gentlewoman.

Decor Deja vu

The Christmas decor theme of all SM Department Stores this year is "Christmas Circus."


Their decor in front of SM Araneta Center is super cute! I'm so tempted to bring home those little elves.

But can I just say, I thought of that theme first. Back in 2018, my Christmas wrapping theme was circus as well.


As they say, great minds think alike.

Oreo excited?

Because that's what I felt after Ate Lissa sent me this photo!

It's the special Halloween/Fall Oreos in the US.


Oreo Chicken & Waffles? I'm intrigued! And excited!

Send me one line

No, this isn't a Spyro Gyra post. 

But don't be surprised if they suddenly make an appearance on next Friday's FMM.

This post is about this line:


Yup, that's the line for Toni's bazaar at Gateway.

It's just 10:10am, and it's already this long!

Way to go, Toni!

Galactic Judge

Since we're on the subject of things that are "Far out," the theme of this year's Digital Young Creators competition is "Intergalactic."

And we had our final judging last Thursday.

It's interesting to see how young digital creators approach an advertising brief, and you can see the advantage of content creators with an advertising background.

In the end, 2 of the 3 winners were from advertising agencies, while the 3rd one was a full-fledged content creator.

And yes, their talents were out of this world.
