KOREA IS IN TOWN

It's a rainy day today but I still went on to P. Gil to have Zoe's Science book photocopied for exam next week. Sabi ni kuya, "Balikan nyo na lang?" Oh well, here we go again. In my mind, "pwede namang intayin na lang? wala namang ibang customers ah". I just gave in. Just to kill the time, I went from store to store on my way to Robinsons Ermita. I cam across this new Korean store which sells different accessories, from eyeglasses, clips, ponies, necklaces, rings, earrings and the likes. Basta anything Kor-ya. Wow, there are so much I wanted to buy unfortunately though, the only money left from my purse is around P180. darn. I already chose 2 cute bow earrings that costs P60 each. I almost bought it when I saw their ring collection. Soo cutesy they are. This ring caught my attention and reminded of this cellphone casing that comes in different colors that I mostly see.

Isn't it adorable? I just have it for only P150. Bought this immediately and left the two earrings I got earlier. The store's name is CZA and they have many cute items out there. Though some of them are a bit pricey. I'm doubtful if these items are really from Korea or just made here and the raw materials can be bought in Divisoria, Quiapo and the likes. Anyways, you can visit their store in P. Gil beside Jollibee and near St. Paul University if you don't have time for spying cheap items in Divi. =)


The ever controversial MAGNUM

So what's magnum about Magnum? People are talking about it, mostly in Facebook. So, intriguing isn't it? With lots of them posting pictures of this fad chocolate ice cream and craving statuses, it finally got to my nerves. Until I can't wait to taste it myself. And alas, I got a chance last night. Finally, I found a 7-11 outlet who sells an overflowing Magnum ice cream bar. With a short budget, I still spare my P55 for this Magnum Almond. I chose almond since it is one of my fave nuts in a chocolate. So, I took my first bite, while in a jeep as this little kid watches and drools over what I'm eating.


My first bite...hmmmm...ok, I can taste the Belgian chocolate. Second bite...hmmmm...nothing's new. Third bite...where's that something? Wala naman e. Fourth Bite...nauumay na ako!

I love Selecta ice creams. I salute the Marketing of Magnum. But my last judgment...it didn't pass my taste and it gives no justice with its price. It's more like P30-40 to me. There's no extraordinary about this ice cream. There are more ice cream bars way greater than this with a very reasonable price. I'm not really after the price, I'm after the taste. I'm not sure why there are so many people who get crazy over it. My theory, it's either they are belgian chocs addict or it is something new to their taste. I rather eat real belgian chocolates. Wala pa din tatalo sa vanilla ice cream cone ng McDo.
