My junk food dreams are made of Indomie Instant Noodles.

It took me a while to be able to eat junk food again. Minor medical mishap. 🙃

Out of all the bawal stuff that the doctor listed, I missed eating instant noodles the most. With fried egg. And an ice cold bottle of Coke. Writing those words just made my mouth water.

Anyhoo, last week I dropped by the supermarket to get some junk food of course. I reached the instant noodles aisle and was about to get the all-time favorite Indomie mi goreng. However, there sitting right next to it is a pile of the premium flavor, Curry Salted Egg. Mas mahalia sya sa regular noodles. Like 2 or 3 times ata yung price.


Salted Egg flavored anything was a fad since last year. Not the healthiest flavor out there, but hey, it's good. I generally think what makes this so alluring to people is the elusiveness of the flavor. I figured if you only used the yolk of a salted egg, it's damn pretty expensive to make. Imagine going through a lot of eggs and only using the yolk. And curry leaves are not that easy to find.

I got a couple of packs and thought it would be a good weekend breakfast. Today was that day. As the noodles were cooking, I opened the seasoning packets. Instead of the usual powder seasoning, it came with a yellow powder which definitely hinted of salted egg and curry. Not sure if it's still ketchup sicam but it's slightly saltier than sweet.

On the first bite, it already had a kick of spiciness into it. Not for the faint of heart, if you ask me. But not yet to the hotness of those Samyang noodles.

You can very much note the spiciness is coming from curry. A few more bites and I can definitely tell you it's not your usual sweet mi goreng.

I made a small booboo of cooking two packs. I usually eat two packs of the regular ones for a late breakfast/brunch. Nakakaumay yung dalawang curry salted egg mi goreng, mga mumsh. Next time I'd probably do 1 salted egg and 1 regular one. For that reason alone, I'd give it a 3/5. Masarap naman sya kaso nakakaumay talaga. I'll probably do it again in a few weeks, and mix with the regular one.

Ps. Bought mine at SM Hypermarket at SM Makati.

In progress.

Every time life presents the slightest bit of chance go fulfill my heart's desire, I dare not take it.

I will always hold on to that moment when eveyrthing was just what I wanted and it's as if you can't see me.

Long-lasting Eyebrow Liner for Newbies

Over the holidays, I tried signing up on this new review site, Try and Review. So it's a site where you sign up to review products. Package will be delivered to you and you just have to try and submit a review. Easy-peasy. 

I signed up to review the Define and Blend brow pencil of Maybelline. Yes, I am going to review a beauty product. I still don't associate myself as kikay, however I do believe #kilayislifeSo anyway, I got the product on the first week of 2019, albeit signing up around mid-December. 

Another great product from Maybelline! 

Upon receiving the package, I immediately noticed it was light. Literal na magaan, mga mumsh. That's a good sign for me since I can control the pressure when I apply it on myself.

But wait, there's more.

I did try applying it on. It was soooooo easy. However, I had to repeat some strokes since I found it too light on my skin. Baka sumobra lang ang moisturizer ko at naging oily na ako kaya ayaw kumapit. Will get back on that again next week.

The application was so easy. It was one of its product features anyway. Newbies and people who are scared of doing their brows will find this product perfect. It doesn't smudge easily, so when you overdo it, easy clean-up pa rin.



Trying the Define and Blend brow pencil


Price was okay for me. Eyebrow liners/pencils are something I don't usually splurge on. So I usually look for stuff that's below Php300. This product in particular is very pasok sa banga at Php249. How long it's going to last in my kit will be another post perhaps. 

This product is something I'd recommend. Easy to apply, keeps your brow natural-looking and affordable. With that I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.



Shameless selfie.


In case you're wondering, here's the review I posted in the site. Look for it and rate it useful. (Please, pretty please with cherry on top.)

A lightweight brow liner that's so easy to apply! Perfect for newbies and women on the go, the application took me less than five minutes. There's nothing to be scared of, if you're not used to brow liners, this one's really easy to use. I mentioned it's lightweight - very easy to control the pressure of your hand when applying the product. The price is just right and totally worth it.
