Dear Santa.... it's me again =)

i think i've been good this year.

i now have started counting to 5 before speaking my mind... which often times works.

i'm more patient to immature/whinny people (this took a lot of time getting used to but i tried, ok?).

i mostly kept my strong opinions to myself, unless i feel that it would do more good.

and lastly im proud to say that i only made 7 people (unintentionally) cry this year & i deeply regret 5 of them.

So Santa, i think "I DESERVE" to be on the NICE list.... i think its time.

p.s. i took your advice... i smile more now... & no i don't think it made a difference

Xoxo,
M

Banane Taipei in Manila

a good friend of mine Lola H is selling the much coveted Banane Taipei bags.

These bags were featured in nitrolicious, bagsnob and miss lovely... orders quickly piled up after the wonderful features setting the BT team back by a month or 2 of orders, good thing they have finally started shipping & i must say, it is well worth the wait.

FYI im not selling this... just a very satisfied buyer =) pls. re-direct all orders/message/questions to

Marciano's

1 grueling working-holiday ago (there in no holiday in retail) i wanted to watch "Life as we know it" after work & good thing Mrs. GVT was up for it, so we planned on meeting at Greenbelt 3 for an impromptu Movie + Dinner, the movie was to start at 8pm++ so we decided on having dinner 1st, we had dinner at

Marciano's Pizza Pasta Steak
2/F Greenbelt 3


pic from spot.ph

Spinach Artichokes and Mushroom Dip

was ok, nothing spectacular

Meat Lasagna

we ordered the veggie lasagna, but they served us this, when we complained about it, the server checked what she write "yes, ma'am you order meat lasagna" which we are sure, we didn't order, but then she didn't even try to be nice about it, its no biggie so we just shrugged it off.

Saffron Vanessa

this was good

*the food was good not great but what Marciano really needs to address is how they handle situation like this & all the staff looks so bored/over-worked, they look like they are not happy working there, its very hard to get the attention of their staff, you really need to raise your hand like a grade schooler vying for the attention of your teacher & no this was not a busy night at all.

new gadget is L-O-V-E

having worked for the Fashion Retail industry for nearly 6 years now... i can now say that im more of a gadget freak rather than a fashion addict... i would be palpitating over the new announcement by Papa Steve (jobs) more than the new collaboration of designers w/ H&M, or the new IT bag (well i some time gets torn between these 2, but most probably the desire for a new techie junk will win over it.)

so now... may i present you, the new addition to the family *wide grin* and i mean WIIDDDDDDEEEE

update: im planning on not jail breaking this baby... because i really am not that good w/games, heck i can't even get out off the 1-4 level in Angry Birds (looserville), well unless there's a Super Mario Game apps, then i might change my mind =)

LOL

just one of those day moment with my sibs.... ENJOY pips!!! =)

Little Tokyo

i know Little Tokyo, has been there for ages but this is my first time to visit & im glad we finally made time for it =)







you have got to try the Edamame


hands down the best Takoyaki in town by Hana


fresh Kani Spring roll with TDF peanut sauce


Kagura's famous Okonomiyaki (Pork, Shrimp, Squid, Cheese)

ive been searching for the best Okonomiyaki, eversince i had one in Shanghai courtesy of my former Japanese Boss (which she swear is the same as what they have in her hometown Kobe)... this is the next best thing to it =)

Super fresh Maguro & Salmon Sashimi


Pork Teppanyaki was a highly recommended dish

super sarap but a bit salty & it taste like A1 sauce was put on it, i think this would be perfect w/ beer =)

my Mom ordered Unagi Don w/Miso Soup

she's craving for Unagi for weeks

my brother ordered Gyoza & Beef Gyudon (w/ Miso Soup)



& i ordered Oyako Don (w/Miso Soup)


near our table was a wall of Sake(?) bottles

then i noticed they we're all empty... so i asked the waitress what it is for... she told me that customers write their name in the bottles... much like a badge of honor... shyet!!! SAKE WALL OF FAME... YOWZA!!!!!!!




after the very hefty meal... we checked the Japanese grocery outside Little Tokyo & i went to buy this:
