nine things: tamara

Tamara, a make up artist and stylish gal who can pass as my sister, shares my love for fashion and love for the ocean. We've gone on countless unforgettable road trips together with our families and laughed about the shallowest crazy things. :p

- Here are her nine current obsessions -

1. This one's pretty obvious: Makeup! (forever obsession hehe)
2. Gong Cha Milk Winter Melon Tea (this is the best milk tea i've tasted so far! try it!)
3. Getting my first tattoo (still thinking of what to get but i know i need to get it soon:p)
4. Re-decorating my room (project with you ate nix! ;) ) 
5. helping my mom start up her pastry business (watch out for this one! :>)
6. Youtube Makeup tutorials. If i need instant inspiration, youtube never fails! so many talented makeup gurus on there. my favorites: The Pixiwoo sisters and Lisa Eldridge. Check them out :)
7. TV series. Current loves: 2 Broke Girls, Vampire Diaries, and New Girl. 
8. Hawaii- I'm just so in love with this state! It's really paradise :) plus my sister and her family lives her so more reason to visit!
9. Travelling- It is my greatest dream to travel around the world. I have wanderlust in my veins! But before heading out to other countries, I'd love to travel around the Philippines first. our country has so many beautiful and magnificent places! Cant wait :D

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally used up, totally worn out, champagne in one hand...strawberries in the other screaming 

"woohoo! What a ride!"

wine, shoes, & no-goodbyes-only-see-you-later

Last Tuesday, we had a small gathering at Ninyo, a cozy fine dining restaurant, to wish our good friends from California goodbye -- but as Ian said, "No goodbyes, only see you later."

Ninyo is located along E. Abada St, Quezon City (near Ateneo)

Dinner was pasta vongole for me (oh heaven!), and a promo on wine was given to us by our good friend and Ninyo co-owner Carla Laus. Great food + wine at a discount + great company? Pretty good combo I say.

Friends were interested in checking out and learning about Zamora Boards. Good thing one person this despedida is for is Ian Zamora, the shaper those fine wave sleds. So they got to quiz the guy personally!

And of course, as most girls do, we gravitated toward each other and chatted the night away. I noticed that the ladies were well soled that night! I had to take photos of pretty feet :)

Food, wine, and friends are never a bad combination. To our friends from California, see you soon! And to Ninyo Fusion Cuisine and wine lounge, see you soon too! *stomach rumbles*

grab my button

Thanks to Oikology101, I learned how to make my own "grab my button" widget :)
You can now grab an NdP button and add it to your site! Just look at the taskbar on the right, scroll up or down a little and you should find it there. Cheers!

and with that, here is a random photo.
