The Kings Avatar

Tuesday, August 10, 2021

I was randomly browsing on what to watch on Netflix when I stumbled on The King's Avatar. I was not really interested in watching a Chinese TV series but what initially caught my attention to check on the drama was because of Yang Yang... The Love 020 blues. But after reading the tv series description the game buff in me got so interested to watch it.

When I started watching the first episodes my son was not interested to watch with me, coz he thought it's going to be the same with Love 020. (He doesn't like romantic dramas.) However, as the episode progressed on he got hooked and interested.

According to him, "this drama gives so many lessons in life, your passion, and gaming." I agree with him. Even though there are potential romantic interactions but it's interesting to see that until the end no one falls in love. The director did not insert a love interest in the drama. Instead, love interest for the game called Glory and E-sport. The drama shows the rise of the E-sport industry and its challenges. The storyline focus on passion, sportsmanship, skills, teamwork, and friendship.

It was a good ending and has potential for another season.

My son got so inspired after watching the drama and has been asking me to play rank games and wanted us to join MCL Weekly in Mobile Legends.

Disposable Face Mask & Mask Storage Box

Monday, July 20, 2020

Since wearing face masks is required in going out now to protect us from the virus, I bought a box of disposable face masks on Shopee. I also bought a storage box to securely store extra face masks that we will be bringing in our bag.

I initially thought I both a good deal of these 2 boxes of face masks. However, a week when after these items arrive I saw a lot of cheaper face masks sold in Shopee and even in our neighborhood. What bummmer!

Review...

The face mask is indeed 3 layers. It's breathable and doesn't have any industrial smell. The items were shipped immediately, I ordered on June 4 and I received them on June 13.

The storage box is clean and in good condition, with no scratches. I opted for this small one so it can fit on a small bag. It can fit 3 folded masks but I usually put 2 folded face masks in it.

Here are the details of my Shopee order:

DIY Brazilian Blowout with my Bestie

Saturday, October 12, 2019

I went to my best friend's house earlier today for a kikay hair bonding. This time we are doing a do-it-yourself Brazilian treatment on our hair. She ordered this EpSA Brazilian Blow Out Keratin treatment set from Shoppee. See below for the direction on how to apply this treatment:

The Instruction:

Shampoo hair using bottle #1 EpSA Clarifying Shampoo to open the cuticle of the hair for optimal results.
Wash hair twice for all hair types.
Towel dry hair leaving enough moisture.
Section hair into four parts. (IMPORTANT REMINDERS: Don't forget to wear hand gloves.)
Apply bootle #2 EpSA Keratin Blow Out into the hair using a brush, 1/8 inch away from the scalp to the ends.
Do not over-saturate, remove excess product using a fine-tooth comb.
Do not rinse, blow dry the hair up to 100% dry using a round brush.
After blow-drying the product on the hair. Proceed with ironing.
Using a flat iron with 230°c, start at the nape of the neck taking 1-2 inch sections (Paper-thin sections).
Slowly move the iron from root to end. Pass over each section 3-4 times for sensitized hair or 4-8 times for resistant hair.
After ironing the hair, rinse hair with water and apply bottle #3 EpSA Conditioning Cream, then rinse thoroughly.
Towel dry hair. Then finally, blow-dry the hair up to 100% dry before ironing again (optional).

The Result:

The product actually works. We like our hair after the treatment. We would definitely love to try this treatment again.

I didn't get to take a before photo and also the process because we were in a hurry and busy talking. 😅 And the after photos are not really that great because it was already very late when we finish. So the following are the after photos we got. 😆

Pokemon Pikachu Headphone from Lazada

Tuesday, March 26, 2019

Hey everyone! Sharing to you a review of the Pokemon headphone that we purchased online through Lazada.com.ph through merchant name is Anime Zone.

January last year, when I recommend to a friend to buy a headphone for my son since its on his Christmas wish-list. So we ordered this POKEMON GO Enthusiastic Pikachu Cool Super Bass Anime Headphones at ₱249.00 in Lazada.

The Review...

The quality is good, with its cheap price the audio is not compromise. I love the vibrant color as well... Sadly, it only last a few months because the wire near the ear muff was cut. And then I was not able to have it fix because the ear muff cover is also starting to tear up.

Mumuso Green Tea Bubble Facial Cleanser

Wednesday, April 11, 2018

I both this facial wash at the recently opened Mumuso Store at LimketKai Mall. I was attracted at the built-in brush in the bottle. And upon reading the packaging it's main ingredient is Green Tea. It's my first time to use a bubble facial cleanser so I was really curious and excited to try it.

Upon using the facial cleanser, the pump functions well. And i love how convenient it is to just pump it. The cleanser immediately bubbles when you pump it out. The silicon brush is gentle to the skin. And I like how it easily cleans the face especially if your washing the make-up on your face. I also like the feeling of the brush on my skin. I feel like the dirt, oil, and dead skin cells are really brush off my skin. It does have a scent when using it.

I like that it has cover in the brush. However, I do recommend to wash the brush thoroughly with water because they tend to get dirty eventually.

After using this cleanser, my face didn't feel dry every after wash which is good. And even though the packaging says peeling foam, I didn't notice any peeling in my skin while using this product.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 2018 Giving Journal

Sunday, November 26, 2017

The first time I saw the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's Giving Journal at the counter of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL), I immediately felt that I'm going to own one soon!

This past few days I've been thinking of making use of a planner for next year. List down things I need to do, plans, goals and memorable moments.

And then a few weeks ago, happiness was delivered through my email inbox. I received an invitation from CBTL staff to attend the 2018 Giving Journal Launching event here in our city.

Its my first journal from CBTL and I must say it doesn't disappoint. The 2018 Giving Journal comes in four designs; Green, Gray, Blue, and one with a customizable cover. The quality is superb.

In addition. there are 12 coupons inside that you can use for the whole year of 2018. And also, a few more coupons from CBTL sister company.

What's more interesting thing I learned about CBTL journal campaign is that this is also for a cause. The proceeds of this campaign will help out the Real LIFE Foundation which provides educational assistance to those who need it the most. So it ain't bad to indulge for a few more cups of coffee this season to get the journal coz with every cups you buy your helping someone finish school.

Monday, October 30, 2017

Last Augus 28, 2017 I shop this dress and shoes online at Zaful.com. And much like my previous purchased in Zaful the quality are excellent with its affordable price. It really doesn't disappoint.

I really like the cloth of the cami dress, perfect summer dress and can also be worn with a top underneath during cool weather. I cant wait to share the different ways to wear this dress. This is a one size dress which can fit on small to medium frame.

As for the shoes, its the first time that I bought a shoes in this type. So it was a big gamble for me shopping it online. Thankfully, it was great buy. It really is breathable with its mesh design. And I also like that its not the typical design that you usually found in stores locally, which makes it kind of unique when I wear it. Do take note that this isn't a sports shoes as it's name stated, this one is kinda more of a casual shoes only.

Checkout how I wore and style this dress and shoes in my future outfit post.
