Eden Project Stripes

My week in pictures . . . 16th - 22nd of June

I went home to Wales ans my baby cousin Kym missed me a lot.
FYI: first time we did not argue for my 3 days stay! ^^
We also had a family dinner in the for father's day celebration.

My dear friend Edlyn came and we had BBQ in the backyard's decking.
It's sunny and  because I want a burnt marshmallows.
Funny how we made fire for hours . . . *wink

Someone's addicted to mocha cookie crumble frap! It's like I had it everyday.

My latest purchase, the time I saw it, I never let it go. And mind, it's in kid's section! ;)

Borough Market day, of course, fresh oysters. Cravings met!

In the centre of one of  a well known shopping area in London - Oxford Circus.
Can you spot the Philippine flag? 

How about you dearies? how has your week been?? x

Cute little things

Okay, I haven't been out for a long time. Well, that's a long time for me so even visiting the town centre excites me. I have not seen what's new in the shops and every time I see new things is like finding little happiness in it and there comes my impulsive-buyer-self comes out! And here are my cute finds.

A purple velvety hanger to organise my necklace

A spring perfect knitted head band with glittery touch, as if you're wearing a crown when on :)

Coloured bird necklace with gold chain, i just cannot resist the cuteness.

Silk square scarf, adds a classy accent to a plain top.

Thumb-sized porcelain tea set for my baby kimmy beacause I'm going home on Saturday, yey!

Little fact: when I was younger, I used to play with kitchen set made of real clay from my mother's province every time we visit them and actually cook real foods there. But of course, the results  always failed. I was in Elementary during those days, don't judge! ^_^


I bought this from my recent holiday in St. Austell but I can't resist not to show it. I got it from Topshop there reduced for more than half price. 

Green chained necklace adds drama to a simple lazy day look.

I watched a movie today and just discovered that they got smaller 3D glasses in the cinemas now. Yes, the last time I watched was... honestly I can't remember at the moment (that longggggggg . . . ).  Earlier, I went to see MIB 3 and I liked the movie since I didn't expect anything from it at all. Surprisingly, the movie was great.

I know  a lot of you agree with  me, maybe not with everything but somehow I know you did. x

Coinstar

Can you still remember keeping a piggy bank when you were younger?
Well, when I came here in the UK, I always make sure to keep some coins in my pocket for emergency purposes such as fare in the bus in case my oyster got empty and when paying in some public toilets as people here in the UK says "I want to spend a penny" which actually mean that someone wants to wee.

Anyways, as my everyday habit of keeping coins, I already filled a huge biscuit tin and realised that it should go as my cupboard gets heavier. This morning, I went to a supermarket to turn my pennies to a voucher that I can spend in the grocery store. And ta-da! a bag of coins costs £13.90. hahah! :D

I'm so busy pouring my coins in this machine, it is the opposite of the machines you
can see in  the arcade that changes you paper bills into coins.

I'm so overwhelmed that I was able to raise £13 but I end up paying thrice for my groceries. 

Yep, that was really early in the morning. I woke up at midnight and didn't manage to get more sleep, as I was waiting for the sunrise, out of nowhere, I started to crave for pandesal (soft white bread that's usually newly baked and still steaming when bought)  and dairy cream (a brand of butter in the Philippines that usually goes with pandesal).

I instantly put my trainers and hoodie on, took my bag of coins and walked to Sainsbury. Cravings met. x

Les Miserables

I have been passing through Piccadilly Circus many times and been wanting to watch this theatre play since then but there's no opportunity at all, but now. I bought my ticket from lastminute.com here and it's really cheaper but seats weren't guaranteed. I got mine in stalls although it was the cheapest when i booked it, yey!! PS I bought my Pricilla tickets here and it was in stall seats as well.

Cosette when shes's still young.

We were surrounded with teens, I thought the play is really educational. I remembered my Uni days when we have to make a reflection about what we've watched. feeling young. (kilig!). Hahah!

 I love these light changing colours ^^

 Anyways, the play is basically about the life of Jean who was imprisoned for stealing bread for her starving sister and family. Upon release, he did not escape his past and no one accept him for being an ex-convict. Few years later, he used the name Madeleine and became wealthy and owned a factory.  On the other hand, there was a lady name Fantine who have a daughter named Cosette. Fantine was fired from the factory because people discovered that she had a child out of wedlock and became a prostitute to pay for  for her daughter's 'care'. She was imprisoned for resisting for the attack of a wealthy man who's trying to harass her. Upon hearing her story, Valjean tried to help Fantine but shes's dying so she asked Valjean to look after her daughter. With her request, Valjean look for Cosette and took her from the family that forced her to work at young age. He treated her as his own and he stood like a father for her . . .
I've said too much, watch the play and it's worth it or simply read the book.

The Play started at 19:30 and finished at roughly 23:00. We headed straight to Friday's

for some drinks, and foods of course. 

I had large frozen strawberry margarita and sicilian kiss and these. I do not eat fresh celery stem before but I liked it in this platter.

Amazing night indeed with lovely people, nice play and good food.

Majestic Reunion

Friends from Wales came back to London after few months, people I was with during my first year in the UK. We stayed in our hide out in Islington, yes, we don't call it sleepover because we're not really sleeping. Hahah!!

chatting with itay!! Familia Chekwa xx

A night isn't enough, we have a lot of catching up to do.

Next day, a shot from the CCTV. We love waving and making faces in the cameras. hahah! Anyways, PaVirg I really felt guilty about this. smooch! x

It's just the four of us who went out the next day since Inay and Adi were working. We went to places that we used to go to, it's been ages and the feelings were not the same if you go to the same place with other people. It's really fun and feels like a kid once again. We just laugh and chat all day.

First stop: King's Cross St. Pancras
