Vanity Kit #4: Hair Gel

In connection to my previous post on “vanity kit” for hair, here’s another grooming product, Hair Gel.


I’ve been using Hair Gel from one of leading apparel store here until we went to the Big Garment Sale in Meycauayan. Aside from clothes, they also sell some grooming items. I saw this Amby London Hex Hair Gel. They sold it for only PhP100 for two-150gram tubes. I bought the Energy Gum variant for myself. I am really excited to use it but I need to use the remaining hair gel before trying this product. Last week, I finally started to use Amby London Hex Gel.
One thing I noticed about this product it is easily dries giving a firm control for my hair and leaves a sticky feel on my hands after applying. However, it can be easily removed because this is created with easy wash off formula. Another thing I like about this product is its very light scent.

I am just worried where I can buy my next of Amby London Hex Hairgel when I run out of stock.

Mechanical Engineer?


Last sunday afternoon, Matt doesn't want to go to sleep so mommy decided to go downstairs and stay at the living room. Suddenly matt went out and took his ride-on toy (Christmas gift by mommy to him).



Do you think he will be a mechanical engineer someday? Not bad as his future career.

Family Day Sundays: Banana con Yelo

July 01, 2012

After the mass in a nearby village, we went to the market last sunday to buy some fruits for Matt. I was able to buy half a kilo of banana and 4 pieces of dalandan instead of ponkan because price per piece of ponkan s really high as of today (15 pesos per piece).

Because of the hot temperature, I decided to pass 7-11 for some refreshment, of course, Slurpee.

We returned home since we are waiting for our internet conenction to be activated at home. While waiting, I fixed the wirings and our router. It was activated for a while and again gone since our account is in the process of migration from canopy antenna to outdoor Wimax. I hope it will be fine today.

At merienda time, we have some saba at kitchen originally for turon but since I cannot find lumpia wrapper in the market, I make it banana con yelo.

Me and mommy tooked some pictures of us since we haven't done this for a long time. We took the opportunity since matt is busy with his toy (see it here).
Picture! Picture!

Mommy cooked spaghetti for our dinner. I wasn't able to capture a photo of it.

That's how we spend our Family Day Sunday! Staying at home during weekends is much better.
