see this huge photo?
The No. 1 Fashion Brand in Japan UNIQLO is now invading the Philippines as they are going to launched its flagship store at SM Mall of Asia this coming June 15, 2012. As one of the Japanesque fans, I'm really excited for this milestone, and got very hyper when I've got an invitation to attend its Bloggers' Event at SM Mall of Asia last April 28, 2012, besides its soon-to-be flagship boutique! Thanks to Richard Mamuyac - my new Fairy God!
the event was scheduled for 2pm .. and guess what? I arrived at 1:30PM so early birdie!!! I'm the first blogger that came, I feel kinda shy at first coz, I'm very punctual.. but I recall what my boyfriend says, in Japan punctuality is very important. I'm thankful for him for reminding me of this event, hahaha
Product Review: Brooks Coffee European Blend
few weeks ago, I've received a sample pack of my ordered Brooks Coffee from Japan. I'm a certified coffee aficionado, so I've very glad excited to try these new product and share my views on these.
What I've received are: Brook's European Blend and Brooks Cantafe Japanesque, which also includes their current brochure
A product of Brooks's Co. Ltd., based in Kanagawa, Japan which imports best quality of ground coffee worldwide and manufactured it in their company factory in Japan. The factory manages the roasting process, grinding process, and the packing process in a consistent manner.
This "European" roast tends to be darker than other instant coffee you can bought on your nearest convenience shops. It's good aroma is superb. Very well sealed package, which has a nitrogen-air inside to preserved the freshness of this roast.

make your Juliet smells fresh flowers this Valentine
Guys, admit it..
Though we are both busy in each errands, at least once in a year, you feel like a Romeo for your own Juliet, and that's normal.. Yeah I know sometimes sending chocolates and loves letters makes you think "cheesy" or "baduy" but we girls LOVES it.
But if you wanna feel more "natural-cheesy guy" sending flowers, with a short message on it is recommended. But here's another question - "what type of flowers will send or give to her? And how?"
I personally introduce to you guys, PHGifts.com your online "florist" rigth on your monitor. They offer delivery all over the Philippines and the best service I love is their, "same-day delivery". they offer the vast selections of gift-baskets, stuff toys, chocolates and lovely flowers.
In choosing the flowers for your sweetheart, here's the selected flowers PHGifts.com offers, and I made a liberty to provide you its "cheesy-but-historical-related" meanings.
Roses
Long a symbol of love and passion, the ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with Aphrodite and Venus, goddesses of love. Used for hundreds of years to convey messages without words, they also represent confidentiality. In fact, the Latin expression "sub rosa"(literally, "under the rose") means something told in secret, and in ancient Rome, a wild rose was placed on the door to a room where confidential matters were being discussed.
Each color offers a distinct meaning: red, the lover’s rose, signifies enduring passion; white, humility and innocence; yellow, expressing friendship and joy; pink, gratitude, appreciation and admiration; orange, enthusiasm and desire; white lilac and purple roses represent enchantment and love at first sight. The number of stems in a rose bouquet can also express specific sentiments.
Tulips
Originally from Persia and Turkey, tulips were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where they got their common name from the Turkish word for gauze (with which turbans were wrapped) - reflecting the turban-like appearance of a tulip in full bloom. By the 17th century, the popularity of tulips, particularly in the Netherlands, became so great that the price of a single bulb soared to new heights, causing markets to crash and putting into motion "tulip mania."
Although different tulip colors carry distinct meanings - yellow tulips symbolizing cheerful thoughts, white conveying forgiveness and purple representing royalty - a Turkish legend may be responsible for the red tulip's symbolism. The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself - riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It's said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning "perfect love."
Gerbera
Gerbera’s are a relatively new flower which have only truly grown to popularity over the past two decades. Their meaning and symbolisation is similar to that of the daisy and sunflower, which is not surprisingly because they are closely related species of flowers. The Gerbera symbolises:
Cheerfulness: If gerberas are the most popular flower in the world, love is the most popular emotion they send to the person receiving a gerbera. For extra passionate effect, make sure there gerbera is red. If you’re trying to tell the person you’ve fallen in love with them or you have love at first sight, consider a lavender or purple gerbera.
Longevity: To a long, prosperous life – Gerberas themselves are grown in consistent, perfect condition and last longer than the average flower.
Friendship: Some flowers represent romance, others represent friendship. Gerberas are generally deemed fun and non-romantic.
Luck: A symbol of good fortune. Gerberas can mean different things depending on their colour, which has about as many variations as a painting colour chart.
Stargazer Lily
The Stargazer lily is considered one of the most significant flowers in the world. This showy flower is bursting with fragrance and color.
The Stargazer lily is an oriental hybrid lily. It was introduced to the world in 1978 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder from California. He named it “Stargazer” because the flower blooms towards the sky. Within several years, the Stargazer lily has become the most popular oriental lily in the world and used extensively by the florals in flower arrangements and bouquets.
The Stargazer lily is a perfect addition to any floral bouquet. Their beauty and intoxicating aroma is what make them so popular for inclusion in wedding bouquets. A bridal bouquet of Stargazer Lilies will perfume the wedding day. The Stargazer lilies are suitable for all kinds of occasions. Delicate, bold, and fragrant all at once, they can say Congratulations, I’m Sorry and express sympathy.The flower meanings traditionally associated with Stargazer Lilies are innocence and purity, but the more modern meanings are honor and aspiration. Pink Stargazer Lilies are considered to be a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
So guys, have your pick now and enter your card now to make it your flowers to Valentine's day!

How to go from just friends to boyfriends?
In the darling 1989 film, When Harry Met Sally, stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan raised the important question: can men and women really just be friends? Is it possible for two members of the opposite sex to have a platonic relationship without wanting to sleep with one another? In the beginning of the movie, Billy Crystal’s character Harry says, “No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.” Even the women men initially aren't attracted to will eventually be attractive enough for a guy to want to sleep with them. Thus proving the notion that the only thing a man wants from a woman is sex. In the film, Harry turns out to be right. Because he eventually succumbs to his mannish nature and he and Sally have a midnight tryst. Their relationship soon crumbles and they realize they cannot be friends. Now that sex is in the equation everything has changed. But luckily for them by sleeping with one another, Harry and Sally open the door to their true feelings. They’re in love. In the end, these two pals do get together as lovers. And in the final scene, they divulge to us that they are now gleefully married. A real happy ending for two best friends.
