As you can see, I changed the title because a friend of mine told me I should really change it because it might make the readers "think" about something else. {it was originally Big Bad Banana} And I admit, if I ever want to be taken semi-seriously, I shouldn't entitle my site with a very misleading name...even if does roll off the tongue. *cough*
FROM MANILA WITH LOVE
Why this title?
- I thought about the James Bond movie; From Russia with love.
- I am from Manila, that's in the Philippines.
- I give lots of love and care.
So my posts would be about news, tidbits and fashion/style tips all over the world, by a girl (that's me) in Manila. I'll also be writing about movies/tv shows, music, food and my personal thoughts about certain topics Let me know what you think of the name, site and what other stuff you think I can write about?
1. Liquid Liner
Brush or Felt-tip, doesn't matter.
What matters is how well you know how to use them and what kind of look you're going for.
Hard pencils (Not too hard though, we don't want them peepers to get wrinkles) and fast-drying liquid liners with firm brush tips, for me work best.
2. Mirror
Please, for your sake and mine, use a mirror.You can't "guess" when it comes to make-up and you don't want to end up like Lindsay here.
Did she apply make-up in the dark? |
As for me, I mostly do winged liners, since I have small eyes.
I also do just the normal un-winged brown liner when I want just a little bit of emphasis on the eyes.
Tokyo Cafe : SM Megamall
Carbonara with Japanese Soy Sauce
Verdict : Well...it was different. Nothing outstanding.
I didn't want to have any plain 'ol Carbonara so I ordered this.
Hey, at least I had food.
Thin Crust Cheese and Tomatoes Pizza
Verdict : I quite liked this one.
Super crispy with lots of Mozzarella.
I just love my cheeses.
A (little) nibble of Blueberry Cheesecake
Verdict : It was passable.
Too much gelatin, not enough cream cheese.
I prefer Burgoo's cheesecake any day.
Cafe 'au Lait
I need Java in my system just to walk straight. So remembering that I didn't have any that day, I ordered this. And my tummy was upset because prior to going to Tokyo Cafe, I already ate. So I needed something warm.
Verdict : Just regular Cafe 'au Lait.
Couldn't taste much of the beans.
Tasted more like milk with a shot of coffee.
Price-wise, I don't think it's worth it.
Their servings are small for a 200+ php dish and the servers are not really attentive.
(One waitress ignored us when we tried to ask for the bill) but maybe it's just this branch.
On the up-side, they have cute menus.
Maybe I'll go there again, maybe I won't. But I won't definitely come looking for it.
Cue tears.
What You Need:
Creamy Black Eyeliner
Shimmery eyeshadow (They used gold for this vid)
And...that's it!
Brushes are optional, because it really is this easy, you can basically apply it with using your fingers.
Wash your hands first okay?
