Another day at the park
Running is a great way to burn energy. And I totally love it when my kids are able to play in the outdoors. At least in the park, they can just run and run in the field without me having to worry about them bumping into something or breaking anything. =)

Oktoberfest 2012
Our friend invited me and hubby to an Oktoberfest event last Friday which was held at Sofitel. We had no idea what to expect (well, free beer was a given) like how big of an event it was going to be or if food was going to be served, etc. I was honestly just picturing a small party at one of the function rooms with waiters going around serving cocktails and hors d'oeuvres...
Boy was I wrong. I mean, DUH, this was OKTOBERFEST! Of course it would be big! We entered the huge tent and we were greeted by singing and dancing hostesses wearing barmaid outfits. There were so many people already sitting in bench style tables and on top of all the tables were free flowing beer towers, just waiting to be drank and refilled throughout the night.
And the food! There were so much to choose from - rows and rows of buffet tables serving sausages, chicken, beef, potatoes, salads, and dessert! Here's just a few of those I was able to take pictures of...
It was so funny since by the end of the night, people were already drunk so some were dancing on top of the tables, falling on the dance floor, and even hitting on the barmaids! hahaha! Anyway, we had a great night although next time, it would be a good idea to book a room at the hotel so you don't need to drive home! ;p

Dong Juan
* Update: Dong Juan is now closed and replaced by The Urban Farm as of January 2014.
I love doing errands with my hubby because not only do we accomplish a lot, but we also get to spend quality time with one another (naks!). During one of our errand days, we decided to squeeze in a little date lunch at this restaurant we wanted to try. Too bad it was closed so we ended up at Dong Juan, another newly opened restaurant at President's Ave. BF Homes, Paranaque.
The interiors were cozy and nicely decorated, Filipino style, using lots of wooden furniture and capiz lamps. I did some research after and found out that Dong Juan originated from Cebu.
We had been trying to guess what their food was before based on the restaurant's name. We figured it was a fusion of Chinese (Dong) and Pinoy (Juan). But we were pleasantly surprised when we saw the menu and found out they had burgers, pasta and pizza to name a few. We actually wanted to try the pizza but after we ordered, we were told the oven broke so we just got something else. :(
Overall, it was a decent dining experience. I want to come back to try their pizza and pastas though. Hopefully next time their oven will be more cooperative. =)

| their homemade Iced Tea |
 |
| Onion Rings (P169) - I had to ask for mayonnaise though since I'm not a fan of the sauce it came with (hubby liked it though) |
 |
| Baby Back Ribs in Homemade Barbeque Sauce (P279) - taste was ok, although we initially had to ask them to heat it again since it was a bit cold when they first served it |
 |
| Dong Juan Red Hot Chili Burger (P179) - the server recommended this burger to us and hubby liked it since he's a fan of anything spicy |
Overall, it was a decent dining experience. I want to come back to try their pizza and pastas though. Hopefully next time their oven will be more cooperative. =)

Splurge vs Save: Little Black Dress jewelry organizer
I was doing some online window shopping when I came across this product in Zalora:
At first, I thought there was some kind of mistake with the price but then since the brand was Umbra, I figured it was really that expensive. The reason I did a double take was because I had just bought this very similar (and I guess fake ;p) organizer from Divisoria a few weeks ago. It was being sold for P100 each, but if you bargain (and depends on how many you get), it can go down to as low as P70.
It doesn't come with a hanger, has less hooks and clear pockets, and the shape is less defined than the one from Umbra. But for the price, I'll stick with my Divisoria buy anyday! =)
