Slice by Pia Cayetano in BGC

Having read the reviews in other blogs, I asked my DH (Dear Husband) if he wants to try some new restaurants that recently opened in BGC.

When we got there, we noticed that the Slice besides Jamba Juice was already opened. We decided to try the food. The ambiance was quite nice. It was cozy and great for meetings and family gatherings.
Small kids can use the table and they would offer coloring books to keep kids entertain.

You can order here or they could bring the menu at your table

Wide selection of Salad and drinks! You can order coffee too!

We ordered Seafood Puttanesca (Php380 + 10% service charge) and Baked BBQ Chicken (Php390 + 10% service charge). We opted to order Jamba Juice and bring it to our table. I'm very thankful that this was allowed.

Seafood Puttanesca

The Seafood Puttanesca was divine! The serving was quite large, it has salmon, shrimps and topped with puttanesca sauce.

Baked BBQ Chicken 

While the Baked BBQ Chicken was lovely. It consist of Brown Rice topped with marinated BBQ chicken bits and Cheese! Lots of it! It was a bit heavy though, that I can't finished it alone!

Overall, our experience in Slice was great, it has a homey feel and we will definitely be back! With our family of course. They have to try the food! And I have to try their deserts! ANd the brown rice arroz caldo! Yummy yet so healthy! No guilt here!

**Pardon my pictures. I just used an iphone4 here and I still need to find the perfect angle.

Brayden's 1st encounter with cars!

What's with boys and cars? Last saturday, while we were shopping at a mall my husband saw a car that was selling at a toy store. He picked up my son and let him sit there. We inquired at the specs and price of the car. The salesman told us that the car cost a whooping Php12k! HuWat?! For a toy car? The salesman said it's a remote control/battery operated and same with the original makers of the Range Rover. My husband was sold! Oh No! hahaha!

My son really loves the car! It broke my heart when we tried to get him out of it, he was crying and wanted to get back to the car!

Curious much?

See how he loves it?

My my.. Please wait for at least 2 yrs old, so that mommy and daddy could save up! Or maybe.. Santa Claus will give it to you this Christmas! Maybe one of your ninong and ninangs will too! =)

Organized.. NOT!

My son's 1st birthday is coming soon! And I've only booked the caterer and photobooth! The following are things I still need:

1. Foodcarts - For the kids and adults. Maybe French Fries, Ice cream, Hotdogs or Longganiza sticks and Coffee?
2. Storyteller - Instead of clowns and magicians, I opted for a storyteller to keep our 2-7 yrs old kids entertained.
3. Face painting or henna tattoo?
4. Balloons - I think we need to dress up our whole house to make it lively for guests attending.
5. Lechon - Elars or General's Lechon?
6. CAKE!!!
7. Vegetarian food - I have visitors who are strictly vegetarians and that includes my dad! hehe! I just need food trays.
8. Invitations!


So much to do yet so little time..

Singapore with my 7 mos old (Day1)

I was very skeptic going abroad and flying the plane with just a 7 month old baby. I was worried to bits and even search the net what to do during flights! Someone told me to use two cups with warm towelette inside and put it around the ears. This didn't work.. tsktsk! What work though is breastfeeding! It's a life saver for me and my baby. He slept through the flight and that was a 3 and a half flight. When he woke up, we already were in singapore! yehey! Love my baby!

What's more, when we got to immigration, we didn't even line up! All 6 of us including my baby were ushered to a VIP counter. This was because I was carrying my baby and people in Singapore prioritized people with baby, disable, old people and pregnant persons.

That's the long queue in immigration!

We were at the budget terminal, so we have to find the yellow bus outside to go to terminal 2.

It just took us 5-10 mins getting to terminal 2 and from there we took the MRT going to our hotel. What a big mistake! Carrying a baby and luggages was such a hassle. I wished we took the bus or the taxi!
Upon checking in at holiday Inn Orchard road, we went hunting for Singaporean food! Famished already and very very tired..

To cut everything, after eating we went to HSBC along Orchard, openned an account, got my SGD500 guft certificate which we could only use at Marina Bay Sands shoppes. Went straight to Marina Bay and there spend the rest of our day!

Hay! One day was not enough for Marina Bay, I wanted to eat at No Signboard but I can't find it!!! Ggrrr! We went to Esplanade and eat at some hawker food. It was still good though. Went home at around 11pm that day.

Haircut by Alex Carbonell

My last haircut was done last Nov 2010 before i gave birth at Basement Salon, Shangrila. Although I love my cut it grew out and became very unmanageable. It's time for me to look for a permanent hairdresser that would take care of my hair. After searching the net and reading reviews, I decided to try Alex Carbonell in Greenbelt 5.

I set my appointment at 12nn, Sat So that I could avoid the crowd.

When I arrived, Alex noticed that my hair is "buhaghag"his term is fuzzy. Haha! It's always like that since my highschool days. Anyway, he was like a doctor to my hair. Telling me that my scalp is oily but have dundruff and yet my hair is so dry. he recommend to me Kerastase Age recharge line. hhmmm... (checks wallet) Maybe I would buy it next month hehe! After his hands works magic to my hair..

Tada! Love my new cut! After two days of shampoo and no blowdry. My hair is still manageable and no flyaways! Amazing! I finally found my hairdresser! *sigh* I'll definitely be back! *wink*
