Around AU in 58: Days Harbour Town & Hogs Breath Cafe, Perth WA

      I dont know if I just got lucky because when I was in Perth it was End of Financial Year Sale on my First month and End of Winter Sale on my last month:) but who cares it gave me a better shopping experience. For this post it will show my shopping experience in Harbour Town. Its not your usual Indoor mall its an outdoor mall that has 2 floors of Outlet shopping that includes al of the famous australian brands of bags, shoes, clothes and accesories It was end of financial year sale so if you got a hundred dollars you could by tons in this place! LOOK at what i got myself?



        I hope this is enough evidence of how much you can get yourself with a few bucks when its ed of financial year sale! Harbour town is the place to shop. Good finds and great deals:)The designers also went on sale so i got myself some designer bags  and a new pair of ray ban glasses. and whats in all the other bags? well you better watch out for my next outfit posts once i get back to manila and surely ill be wearing them. Pardon the shopping spree moment of joy i rarely do things like this o myself:) "THERES NO TOWN LIKE HARBOUR TOWN"

    Half of the day we spent in harbour town and of course after that we got to try some real Aussie Steak at Hog's Breath Cafe.
   The Ambiance of Hog's Breath Cafe reminded me so much of T.G.I.Fridays. Retro stuff and even vintage stuff including old vespa's and the like. They also got this animal heads as decoration:) Here are some photos taken inside the Cafe





           Cool isnt it? Well thats just the ambiance and the best part here is the food! premium Aussie Steaks! Heres a take on what we ordered.:)
 My meal!It  was called but Calamari steak that includes Prime rib steak & calamari with Curly fries and veggies with honey sweet chili sauce

        Two thumbs up for this meal! Will definitely recommend this to those who will be visiting perth:)
        AND FOR DESERT! HOGGIES ROCKY ROAD SUNDAE perfect for sharing:) I dont know how many scoops it had but is really HUGE! below is brownies then tons of  strawberry and vanilla ice cream scoops topped with wafer sticks and giant marshmallows! Youll be very satisfied with this! and i tell you not one person with my appetite can finish this.

Food & shopping for a while im living the good life of a fresh graduate?

Around AU in 58 days: Westfield Carousel, Perth WA

OUTFIT:
Oxford shoes (Aldo),Betty Boop top, Maroon Skirt (Forever 21), White fluffy scarf, Leather coat(Mango)

      A little shopping in the city of perth and i highly recommend westfield carousel and harbour town.Theyre one of the biggest malls in the City

    Westfield Carousel has a wide variety of shops and i was able to get a little shopping cause I was saving my money for harbour town:)

yeah that kid right beside me claims that hes a gangstah:)) hes cool like that. and he loves justin beieber:)))

In Westfield Carousel we had lunch at Zushi Bento. A restaurant with the Sushi Train! It was cool for me the fact hat they save on waiters because of the train like mechanism of serving and waiters just count the color coded plates you got from the train.Very smart save on labor!. It was pretty tempting to ealt all of it joke im not a glutton like that. well its because all of the dimsim and the sushi passes by in front of you and though its has a plastic cover to keep it warm you can still smell the aroma of it. Good thing i had my control!


I got myself some Pork Siomai Shrimp Dumlings, Octopus Balls ,buchi and many more kinds of sushi:) Their servings are huge and very rich in taste and the server was filipino so i felt like home:) Two thumbs up for this Restaurant.  This place must be on your list when you come to perth.

Around AU in 58Days: Kings Park, Perth WA

Day 1 of my Trip to Australia. Our first stop was Perth, Western Australia. So for our first Day we went to Kings Park which is one of the biggest parks in Perth also in Synergyland Fun park which is just so close to Kings Park. Here are some of my photos.
Right behind me is the Eternal fire thats lit up rain or shine. Its i thing gas powered so thats why it is called the eternal fire i think it is for the commemoration of the heros i think who went to war. im not sure i didnt read the sign:))
The view of the Swan River and the City, all of it you can see at the look out in Kings Park. But since its Winter Season the Flowers are not in full bloom but the Park is still filled with Greens all those trees and bushes that will form into a nice view.

Just around the Area is Synergy Fun land park. Its more for the kids complete with play grounds and some dinasour statues just like in theme parks & zoos. The park is a perfect spot to go picnic dates with your love ones.A wonderful view of a manmade lake ,ducks & swans contributes to the relaxing atmosphere in the park.


 Me & Mom:)
 These Kids came to me While I was posing in the Tree. Out of the blue!:))) They are so cute:) Im such a kid magnet:)

If youre not going for a picnic at the Park might as well eat at Sizzler. They have this Lunch Buffet only for AUD$23.95 complete with Apettizers, Soup & Salad,Entrees, Desert bar with Cake & Ice cream and a variety of drinks. Definitely Worth iT!


As for my Outfit well. Here it is. I had a mini Shoot at the Park I hope you like It:)





Top & Leggings Random Stores in Greenhills, Sweater: Random store in Baguio, Scarf: Gift, Boots: Primadonna

Hows your day? Tell me All about it! Link your blog & ill check em out:)

Flying to Winter Wonderland


Im off to another adventure. This time Around the Smallest Continent, Australia and I just wanna share my wonderful experience flying with Singapore Airlines.It is my First time to Fly with Singapore Airlines. Id usually fly with Philippine Airlines and other local airlines for some time, but since there was no flight from manila to perth on the PAL routes our agent booked us for Singapore Airlines. I would give an A+ for their service. Upon boarding the plane youll find a pillow and blanket to keep you warm. Then they got hot towels for your hands to cleanse and relax youre tired hands. After take off they give away this headphones that you would attach to the arm of the seat for you to be able to use the interactive screen in either listening to music, watching movies playing games and stuff. I didnt actually used my ipod this time to be entertained during the long flight. Also the staff assists you in anything you need and youll not be hesitant to ask them anything if you just press the little button on your front seat.Let me share how i discovered that little button to call the steward.I just actually saw the button lighting and wondered what was that for , i thought it was for the tv screen but then suddenly the steward approached me because he noticed the light above my chair.So i was like oh cool so i kept asking for drinks:") the fact that ive been munching on mini toblerone the whole trip:)
FOOD! i love the inflight meals.Complete with appetizer, side dish, maincourse,pastries desert and your choice of drink, this time I got red wine.Dont I look so happy? because I am indeed satisfied because I got  my good sleep with music in my ears just like how i want to.
After the 3 hour flight to Singapore we got a chance to go around Changi Airport.I love the Amenities of this airport. not to be mean to my home country but then this airport is so nice youll never get bored. Aside from the array of shops in each terminal they got mini parks , lounges, free foot massage and internet! Cool right! Check out the next series of Photos for some shots I took around the Airport.




Im Loving the indoor orchid arangements at their Airport. Im not a person with a green hand but then I love seeing different kinds of Plants and specially flowers. In singapore I still want to go back and look at that botanical Garden which i missed visiting when i went there a year ago. The Set up arond the airport was really nice, it works well to attract tourist not just to stop over singapore but to stay and visit the beauty of their country.Luckily the terminal of our connecting flight was near the Butterfly Garden and the Koi lounge.

Its not that big but there a numerous species of butterflies you could see in the butterfly garden. Maybe im always amazed. but the butterflies are definitely pretty.So lovely.Definitely go there when youre stopping by Changi Airport.

Last but not the Least was my Favorite:) the Free Foot Massage Machine. ITS FREE! and because im off for long walks for my 58 Day trip. I got a few minutes to get a massage before boarding to our connecting flight to perth.

IM OFF TO AUSTRALIA MATE! Watch out for more blogposts about My Aussie Adventure.! First stop Perth.Ciao for now.

Hows School for some and Holidays for the Others?
