My Sister Is The Best- It's her Birthday!

sister in her most daring attire

the three stooges clowning around sister aka "mamu" to wawan

My sister in so many words...

1. Collector - of Music CDs , book novels, fashion magazines, self help books, showbiz magazines and some others. I have not seen anyone with so much books as she has! I only wish she gives the same care to her other collections as she does with her books. I lost count of the many times I got disappointed bringing home empty CD cases, all the while thinking those contained what were on the CD labels. Where have all the CDs gone? whew!

2. The Beauty Expert - she's got the smoothest face or so she claims. Thanks to her ever reliable, dependable Dr. Ian Laurel. Why! The doctor should give sister credit for the many wannabes who flock to his clinic! OOPS! no magic done! she is just blessed to have even toned smooth skin! It's in the genes..plus a little help from the best Dermatologist in town.

3. Fashion Icon - She wouldn't be caught dead wearing stripes, polka dots, and abstract inspired tops. My sister mutated from fashion disaster to fashion icon.

4. The Benefactor - She gives to the needy. I get gifts from her all the time. Happy & lucky me!

5. Hearty appetite - loves trying out new restaurants with me in tow, while reminding me to lose weight..

6. To be continued...

Yakimix, Eat-all-you-can Resto with a twist

Yakimix may sound like Yucky, but nothing is yucky about this restaurant. Yakimix interior was tastefully done. I love the presentation of food which were artistically, freshly and hygienically prepared. Foods are Asian fusion- Korean, Japanese, Chinese. You get to eat all you can for a price so reasonable. For first timers, you have to make a reservation or come an hour earlier on opening hours. On my first visit, I was number 17 among the waiting list that we just decided to come back another day. My warning, dont eat much on your first trip to the buffet table or you'll be full before you sample everything there is!

And yes! you can drink all you can too. I sampled 4 that night- sprite, blue lemonade, mango juice & coke light. It's a whole new gastronomic experience.

Clowning around using my nokia while waiting for Yakimix to open. Located just across HK Center or something, along Macapagal Highway, the resto operates daily from 11am to 2pm and 6pm to 11pm. We were an hour earlier and actually the first customers for the 6pm opening of June 25. Just minutes after we were allowed entry, the place were instantly filled up to the max.
