I remember getting lost at Tsim Sha Tsui in Hongkong before because I had a hard time pronouncing the place but the Tsim Sha Tsui waitress at the Terraces Cebu was quick enough to help us say, “Jim Sa Joy”. Make it sound like your a local and hope for the best.

Boasting of its fuchsia and green bursts of color which Cebu fashion designer Phillip Rodriguez designed, the dimsum and tea bar has its own all-you-can-eat dimsum buffet at their conveyor belt.

Just because Tsim Sha Tsui means sandy mouth ironically signifies you will go home otherwise because the menu lists down your favorite dimsum dishes such as chicken feet, quail egg siomai, chicken feet, steamed chicken, sweet and sour pork and my favorite yanchow rice.

Dumplings

What the waitress didn’t tell us was that their P350 All-You-Can-Eat buffet only includes 10% of what they have on their menu and I certainly do not want to eat sio mais for the entire night. Quite disappointing, really. We should have just ordered ala carte and paid for the same price but still lavishly busog!

Oh I just had to pose! Hahaha. Three stars out 5. I’d still want my Ding Qua Qua and Harbour City Dimsum.

I like that she doesn’t have that antsy, punk star look. Instead, she looks feminine, sweet, and refined that you cannot imagine her belting out shrieks here and there in several of their concerts. Not that she’d shriek, have you ever heard Up Dharma Down play?

Now do I look like a groupie? Hahaha.

That same afternoon was the Kasalang Filipino held at the Ayala Center Cebu. Booths were strewn all over the place you’d feel like you’ve walked into fairyland with all the buntings, vines and archs. We stopped by Creole Cakes booth by Jade Saducas. Look how this Lous Vuitton is so detailed you’d mistake it for the real one. (above) This is a very cute D90 Jade made!

Hahaha. Don’t Mock Me!

Check out also the launching of the BMW Series 7 in their Lahug, Cebu showroom. I finally got to wear my Yves Camingue smock in nude after getting it discounted at the Nokia Style Staples Event in the Waterfront that showcased the Nokia 6700.

Say hi to Anne Calma from BMW. She was kind enough to invite us and let us experience how BMW gives a party. Next on the list – Congratulations also to Loft on their 3rd anniversary. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I first got to have dinner there with Beejing and Poola? Time super mega flies! I would like to congratulate the newest Marketing Team slash Director Charles Osmeña for a job super well done!

This is Charles

That’s us with Paulo Valera before the Thanksgiving Dinner

I just realized the color/shade brown washes me out! No! I just bought the Yves Camingue frock last month and this brown dress from What A Girl Wants early November (photo above). Major wardrobe makeover. Sigh.  I hope your November’s memorable. Oh, I’m about to make the required “year-ender” blogpost that will top all “year-ender” blogposts. Just watch out for that soon, I guess. Toodles!

Friends from Cagayan de Oro came – so happy to see them! There was a lunch at TGIFridays.

Hahaha. I bought this bouquet at the flower shop by the road in the barracks Archibishop St. across Grand Convention. Xenia loved it much to Jonex’s chagrin. Teehee.

Dessert at Gelatissimo

UCC Cafe

…and then back to the hotel to prep up. A friend from Manila told me that they don’t have Gelatissimo in Luzon. That’s strange but it would be something else if they came all the way here just to have a taste of that Italian ice cream.

After super major primping at room-I-forgot-the-number at the Rajah Hotel, we all went up at their function room to see Xenia’s relatives and classmates for dinner. The photo wall we bought from Backspace Studio is behind us. So tiny you couldn’t make out anything.

Xenia’s mom also came all the way from Miami. Tita Esme looks lovely.

So much food! You can guess who ate the most hahaha!

Back at the hotel. Fooling aroung!

Then back at the hotel. Pooped. Sigh. I wondered when is that going to happen again until the group convened once again in Cagayan de Oro last week. But that’s going to be a different story. :)

which I ended up eating too.
