look what i found..

i was searching online for a place to eat. i remembered this chinese panciteria where we used to eat when i was small. my dad used to work as a professor in PMI colleges in sta. cruz and when there is a chance, he would take us to that panciteria. i don't know if it is still standing, but the food was great. i love their chopseuy rice and their pancit canton and the lumpiang shanghai was so delish!
anyhoo, i was checking google to see if there is info about it. i've never been there on my own and i would like peejay and me eat there sana. it has been years since i last went there. siguro it was way back 2000. i've asked my dad where it is exactly. ang lola mo, sabi saken, "dun lang yun. malapit sa PMI". eh, i've never stepped foot in the vicintiy of PMI, much less even know where it is! the closest i've been to PMI is dun nga sa restaurant na yun. di ba ang gulo?
so, here i am consulting google. i was able to find something on clickthecity.com. though, i'm not sure if this is the one i'm looking for. i don't even know the exact name of the place. all i know is that it's called toho. we've been calling it toho as far as i could remember.
so, before i found the info on clickthecity.com (i used the keyword to ho binondo), i found a link on the search results. it said: SIGNS IN DA PILIPINS
i know it's not anywhere related to what i was looking for pero, na curious ako. so i clicked it and here's what's inside..

you're so vain..

kuya bought for me a set of facial something from THEFACESHOP. akala ko di nya seseryosohin yung sinabi nya before na bibilhan nya ko e, but he did, but i have to pay him in return. sabi nya it's only right that i should invest for a facial care set, just like what he, and my cousin did. while my cousin was in malaysia, she bought for herself a set of celnique stuff for the face. it did wonders to her face, but she ran out of supplies. now she's back here in the philippines, she replaced it with dr. murad's face products..

this was what she bought for herself.. i just don't have the exact pictures of the products she had been using, pero i guess it looks like these..

this is what kuya bought for himself. it's the QUICK AND CLEAN line from THEFACESHOP. according to the cleanser's label, it has a mild formulation that also takes away makeup. the toner and the moisturizer controls sebum production. the toner is said to be non-sticky (according to the label). as for the moisturizer, it is said to instantly soothe and hydrate and heal the skin (again, according to the label.) he said it cost him around Php1,600 for the three bottles. fairly reasonable for the things it could do..

this is what he got for me..DEWY FLOWER line from THEFACESHOP. instead of the usual foaming cleanser, he got me the clear peel exfopliating gel. it has no beads or anything that's supposed to scrub my skin. instead, it will peel off dead skin if you gently rub your face with it. it's supposed to take with it dead skin cells as the gel dries up. i like it so far, but it's too soon to tell. i've only used it twice. as for the toner, i like it because it doesn't sting. it's not sticky like the other usual astringents, which i'm not a big fan of. it has a mild scent which is almost a bit flowery, but not flowery enough to overpower your senses. as for the moisturizer, it's like the one i was using way back in high school, which is the clinique third-step moisturizer. same as the toner, it doesn't have a strong scent. it's so mild, it's literally just like putting a mild lotion on your face. it's also not sticky like OLAY total effects. kuya said it cost him Php1,415 for the three bottles.
good luck to me and i hope i like the results...
