Day dreamer and Believer

Hey guys! How are you all doing? We’re currently on a long weekend because our Saturday clinic had been declared as a rest day after our department’s accreditation plus it’s National Hero’s Day this coming Monday. I was given a couple of days to destress and just relax in our house, watch netflix (Have you seen To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before?) and my favorite youtube vloggers. Speaking of relaxing, I’m all in to comfortable clothes and huggable pillows. Who doesn’t like that?

I recently found a website which caters one of my favorite comfy wear, silk. FreedomSilk was made to give their clients and customers the comfort they wanted. They’re a company who manufactures and sells different kind of silk fabric including silk clothes like silk robes and silk camisole set. One of my favorite from their wide selection of categories is their silk pajamas. A pair of silk pajamas is the perfect ootd I could recommend you for a perfect and relaxing day at home.

I have selected a few set of my favorites to give you an idea of what to expect in their website.

First is this royal blue robe. This is the first thing that caught my attention. I love the color and glossy feels of this robe. Don’t you think it’s super classy?

Second are these 2 pairs of camisole set. I chose the colors royal blue (again) and my favorite color, pink. :) I think it’s more convenient and comfy sometimes to wear shorts than pants.

Third is this pair of PJs. I’m a big fan of PJs. These 2 colors, white and pink are also two of my top picks.

There you go! I hope you consider these when you place an order to their site. :) Visit their site for more choices!

There are a lot of restaurants opening in and around Batangas. Batanguenos are really up to try almost anything and everything they see new and good in social media. Paulo and I were two guilty people!! There's this restaurant named "Estasyon" that opened last July along Pastor Road across Ponte Fino Residences. I've been seeing it every time I go to school from SM. The place is just small (I think they only have 5-6 tables with 4 chairs) but its simple exterior and interior attracted me and Pau. I was really hungry when Pau fetched me that day. He's asking me where I want to eat and I told him I want to try the foods in Estasyon. We have no idea what this restaurant offers but we know it's something different. I don't really know what this restaurant caters but it's mostly Filipino foods with a twist!

Here's what we ended up ordering :) We were surprised to see a really cute presentation and plating for a small restaurant like this. They really do know how to satisfy their customers through small details like this one :)

Bongsilog (Php 130) Of course, this is Paulo's order! Garlic rice + Sunny side up egg + well, BACOOOON!!! He's in to Tapa at first but I told him that he's always eating beef meat so might as well change his order. He ended up with pork. I wasn't able to force him to eat something different for him like fish and veggies. Anyway, he said that their Bongsilog tasted good. He's going to order their tapa the next time we eat there.

Pancit Rafa (Php 170) I was curious on how this one tasted when I saw it in the menu. I'm not into fried noodles. Never. I was telling Pau that I want to try it but at the back of my mind I might just waste my money. He said that we should order it because it will bother me at the end of the day if I will not be able to try it and instead buy another one that I don't really like. Haha! He really knows me well. ** Same scenario with the Maybelline Super stay matte lipstick!! HAHA I was really in to the Amazonian shade but I fear that I might not be able to use it in my everyday look so I ended up buying the safer shades that I didn't actually liked first like the Seductress and the Vice lipsticks and lip tints. Because I was really bothered that I don't have the Amazonian I still bought it 2 weeks after. I ended up having more lip products than what was expected. Tinawanan na lang nya ako. Sa sobrang changes ko daw lalo ng dumami yung products na meron ako instead of yung gusto ko agad. Maybe I should show you my lip and eye products haul in my next posts. ** Going back to my review, this Pancit Rafa doesn't really satisfied my taste buds. It's my first time to eat crispy noodles in beer sauce and I don't think I would try the same thing again. The only thing that I enjoyed eating were the livers! I really love chicken and pork livers. :)

Adobo Chicken Tortilla (Php 115) This is my order! I wasn't really expecting that it looks like this when it was served. Maybe I didn't read the description of the foods haha. I highly recommend this one if you happen to visit Estasyon. It's a combination of chicken adobo, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, turmeric rice with their house cilantro tortilla. Ang sarap lang :) Pau even enjoyed it kahit hinalo-halo ko ang gulay haha The plating is well presented as well. Lakas makapang instagram! :)

Paulo and I will definitely go back and try their other dishes. I'd love to try their Hipon Marinara Pasta the next time I go there.

Aside from the foods and restaurants in my monthly favorites, I found this website which caters a lot of online cards and stationary. Since I was a child and up to now I've been collecting greeting cards, thank you cards, stationary and journals that has really cute designs and calligraphy. I love writing on it and sending it to my close friends or just keep it to myself.

I'm lucky enough to be given the chance to try Paperless post. It's an online site wherein you can produce your own cards and send it online to your friends and love ones. You can choose your own layout and design and after customize it. You can make there invitations, flyers, cards, and announcements. I decided to customize a thank you card into a business card and a stationary card with my name on it. :) Thank you Paperless post for the opportunity! I can finally send my friends online cards and invitations in just one click! :)

I'm starting to love this whole food blogging thing and here's my second official entry with the two "highly recommended" experts when in comes to food tasting and blogging. Do you have any guesses already? :P Before this semester starts, Bonchie and I went to Manila for our summer gala "daw". We were suppose to go to National Museum of Natural History but it turned out to be a day of mall hopping, shopping and food trips! Hindi na natuloy ang National Museum ko :( Samahan nyo 'ko! Going back to the story, the first thing that we did when we arrived in Manila is to EAT! :) We were in Mandaluyong during that time so I thought of calling Paulo to join us. The three of us were hungry during that time and would want to eat a lot but the problem is we only have a tight budget to spend to fill and satisfy our stomachs. (Do you think it's even possible in restaurants???). Lo and behold my Booky app saved the day! I learned this app from another blogger and was so eager to try it if it really works. We searched for a restaurant that covers the booky app and we ended up choosing "Mesa".

Mesa is a fine dining restaurant which showcases a lot of Filipino and Asian dishes. It's more of giving an authentic Filipino flavor with a little modern twist in the presentation. I was surprised to be served with a reclining glass of water. What a cute concept! Their branch in Robinsons Galleria has a good ambience (although there's a little problem with the leaking water from the aircon) and a family style presentation. A lot of people were actually eating during that day but the good thing is that we were reserved using my Booky app :)

Baked Scallops in Garlic Butter (Php 240)- Baked scallops are my personal favorite! Every time we're going to dine in restaurants, if it's not the fish fillet, baked scallops are always the first thing that I look for in the menu. Mesa's baked scallops didn't exceeded my expectations. I mean, it tasted good but it didn't reached my standard that will make me come back for it. I think it's because I prefer cheesy baked scallops than the garlic butter compound that they have. But still, if you love scallops like I do, maybe you should give this one a try when you dine in the restaurant. 12 scallops for Php 240 is not bad at all. :)

Grilled Liempo Mesa Way (Php 230)- This was Paulo's order. He always orders Liempo every time we eat in restaurants and I knew that even before he saw the menu his order would be the restaurant's liempo. HAHA! :P Mesa's grilled liempo tasted good. The waiter said that the serving is good for 2-3 persons but it looked like it's just for one to the point that Paulo can finish it in one seating. Haha :(

Pork Sisig Rice (Php195)- This is Paulo's choice again. I told him that we should've not bought a sisig rice and instead just a plain rice because there's already a grilled liempo which is another pork in our order. But of course, the two big guys insisted to order and so I lose. :( Aside from the sisig rice which was really tasty that even if there's no main course can suffice our hunger already, we still ordered 3 plated plain rice because we wanted to have our second round. Haha!

Kare-Kare Crispy Short Ribs (Php 380)- This is Von's choice. This was actually our favorite among all the foods that we ordered. The peanut sauce is really tasty. Masarap sya! I recommend you to try this if you happen to dine in the place. Value for money rating is 5/5! Haha! Feel na feel na ang pagiging food blogger but if you're going to ask the two guys who I'm with, I'm sure they'll tell you the same thing. :)

The restaurant doesn't have any service charge that's why there's no hidden charges during the bill out. Our original bill was Php 1,180 but because we have the Booky app, we only got to pay Php 590 (50% discount!!!) for all the foods that we ate! :) I'm not really promoting this app but if you want to eat more without spending too much I recommend you to download Booky app on your phones! :)

Outfit. Kicking the last few days of my vacation with this cute romper from Zaful. It's still summer anyway and I still have an excuse to wear a romper in pastel yellow. This is one of the items that I scored during my last order in Zaful. Not only did I got it because it's a romper but because I loved its style and design. Tube romper made it easier for me to dress up and dress down the outfit plus it's very convenient when I'm going to go to the comfort room. I don't think this romper is too short but it's a little bit of see through on the bottoms. Anyway, you can get this same romper by clicking this or head through their site for more fashion finds. Here's a coupon code of 12% which you can use upon check out- code:ZFNancy2

Bowtie Off shoulder romper- $18.49

Heyyyy guys! My summer vacation is about to end in just a few days (Pasukan na sa Monday!!!) and to be honest, I am excited at some point because I feel like there are a lot of things to look forward to this semester. New faces around the building (Hi freshmen!!), new professors (daw??), new rules in the clinic (huhu), new subjects and more. Guys, SENIOR CLINICIAN NA AKO!!! This is so far my biggest achievement as a Dentistry student and I couldn't be happier because I'm entering my 6th year full of high hopes and positivity. I'm excited to see you soon, my dear patients! :)
