In 2013, I gained about 10lbs. As part of my new year’s resolution, I’m trying to be more healthy and conscious about what I put into my body. I will still enjoy fine food.. moderately. As part of my resolution, I’ve been eating salads and drinking my vegetables.
Juju eats has been my diet staple because it’s close to my office. My favorite is their Thai Beef Salad. Great taste, low calories. I pair it with any one of their juices, most commonly – the green bomb (liquefied vegetables) which isn’t bad if you’re used to it like I am. I get the Atomic Carrot which is actually very yummy if you don’t mind carrots. I also get their vanilla nut milk and latte nut milk which are suitable for my sweet tooth. The problem with juicing is that it is VERY EXPENSIVE. The 250ml bottle at Juju costs me about Php165. I could dine like a queen at Jollibee for that amount. Due to the cost, I’m always looking for cheaper alternatives.
Tomorrow I’m going to start a new cleanse. I am already familiar with the Juice company – Pure Jus by Kristal and I’ve actually had some of the juices. But tomorrow is the beginning of a 3-day detox which I shall write about in a separate post.
Wish me luck. I will be very very very very grumpy.

My mom got invited to an event at Manila Peninsula to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Chopard’s Happy Sport. Since she’s not here, I happily attended in her place.
Gratuitous Bathroom Selfie of my Outfit (haha sorry.)
These candles smelled amazing. I wish someone could tell me where they got them.
Food!
Love these
I’m a fan of the navy blue one with stars
True story. A guy just text me – “Do you know that you’re like Adobo?”
Me: “?”
Guy: “You’re not complete without toyo.”
Whaaaaaaat?!
I didn’t reply. So annoying. Is this supposed to be funny? Or pa-cute? Does he really think girls like this stuff?
Thank you mom for introducing me to art.
One quiet Sunday, we checked out the Manila Art Show in SM Aura. We are by no means collectors but we like to look and appreciate. Our taste is far from distinguished, we just like what we think looks good.
I adore Michael Cacnio’s work. I am hoping to get one for myself some day. He’s so popular now which means the prices of his work are skyrocketing. Take this tree piece for example… 1.5M pesos.
Another one by him. Love this alot. Can’t afford.
Cash Flow
Our only acquisition from the show. St. Pedro Calungsod now guards our office in Makati. Got this one from Qube Gallery.

I got to see works by the National Artist, Fernando Amorsolo. If you would like to buy this, it will cost you about 5 Million Pesos. Contact Leon Art Gallery.

LOVED this watercolor painting by Manansala. I wish I had 1.2M to spend.
The photo does not do this painting by Betsy Westerndorp justice
The famous Carabao from Qube Gallery. They were selling this for P500,000, negotiable.

Since we’re talking about art, here’s the first of two art pieces in my collection. I picked this up last year. Scenes of New York by Manuel Baldemor. Through the help of a mutual friend, he made this for me.
