Simply Shoes: YOUR EVERYDAY-SHOE STORE

It has been said that apart from diamonds, shoes are a girl’s best friend. And it’s not surprising. Christian Louboutin, who is known for his iconic shoe designs, has said, that “a woman can be charming, witty, sexy, or shy with her shoes”. Designer Tracy Reese, on the other hand, has her take on the power of wearing the right shoe: “shoes are the finishing touch on any outfit and it is important to complete a look with the perfect pair.” Aren't you gonna agree with them ladies?

Simply Shoes, an affiliate of SM Retail, is a woman’s everyday shoe store with pumps, sandals, slip-ons, and everything else in between for her day-to-day activities. Be it for work or play, Simply Shoes has comfy and affordable options.

First Month Celebration at Rai Rai Ken SM Batangas

Hello my lovely readers! Yes! It has been a month since we tied the knot. And for that, we deserve a little celebration!

Since it was also declared as the International Sushi Day, June 18, why not join the fun have some Japanese treats!



I am not ashamed of being a cheapskate. If there is something that will help me save some money, I will grab it. But then, it still depends on the situation. If something is cheap and I won't be needing it, even in the future, nope, I am not interested in buying it.

Let's take this day as an example. As mentioned in the title, it was our first month as husband and wife. Doesn't it deserve a dinner date? I think so too! And we were so happy that the branch in our city was included in the promo!

Me and my husband love food. Japanese cuisine is one of the top picks from our list because of their diverse cuisine. I also remember the other Japanese restaurant that closed a few weeks back, Jinzai, they offer affordable single serving meals with authenticity touch on it. It is just too bad that they left.

Rai Rai Ken has been my favorite restaurant that offers this cuisine within the area. I have been patronaging their meals since 2014! You can read one of my post here -> http://www.myxilog.com/2014/01/rai-rai-ken-batangas-now-open.html. And they have been standing on their feet for four years now. Congrats Rai Rai Ken!

Crunchy Roll

California Maki

For the sushi discount, here were the only item available in their stash. The California Maki (Php65) for five pieces and the Crunchy Roll (Php75) for 5 pieces. Though they lack of tobiko, we just let it go since we can't do anything about it.

Buta Don - Php199

Gyudon - Php199

We also had rice meals as our main dishes. My Buta Don versus my husband's Gyudon was way better compared to savory. Though it was also acceptable as per GJ.

To sum it up, it was a nice dinner and I am looking forward to visiting them again. Last time, I had their Super California Maki, and that was so far the best from their list.

There is also another Japanese restaurant to open up next month. It is exciting to know that lots and lots of varieties of cuisine infiltrate the city. That is really something that makes me happy. Hihi.

What's With Myx' Life Lately?

As I've mentioned from my old post, I would like to make a post or posts about our wedding. But that was when I was not married yet. That is very easy to say. But I never thought that it would be difficult to comply.

Preserved part of wedding bouquet

Well, the wedding proper went so well, not mentioning all the erroneous pieces of stuff happened, from the flowers and all that followed. But that never ruined our day. It was as pleasant as I dreamt of it to be although the stress finally got us out.

At the end of the day, we were happy because we even had a free upgrade from the hotel that we booked as a gift after the wedding day. It is like a little honeymoon. Although we weren't really able to spend all the day at the hotel, it is still nice having tranquility for two nights.

I have missed blogging, telling about my personal life. It has been long since I did this.

So please just let me rant randomly. That won't hurt even a little right?

New life, new house, and a new bed!
Now, I am living with my husband in his apartment. It was a nice one. The first week, we became busy with the bed search. And finally after few days of looking, we found one and it was delivered fast. We now have a bed! And that is just as awesome as having a new...bed. Haha. It took time though before we finally had it assembled. The single bed my husband had when he was still single, obviously, is not sold yet. There is a very minimal inquiry with that bed, which I posted on Facebook marketplace. I also tried posting it on OLX, as my friend recommended me to do so. Let's see how long will it take before it's finally out of our room.

Working freelance.
We also now have an office inside our small bedroom. GJ managed to make space for two new identical desks. I am now just waiting for the students to ring me in so I can start teaching. It is a prayer I've been asking since then. I also tried applying in different companies, so if in case there's no chance in the other, I have at least an option from another. We also looked at Upwork, one of the most suggested applications for freelance workers. We will see if we can get something out of it too. These freelance jobs do not really earn that much though, but it is nice that there's a lot you can do for a job.

I have now a family of my own.
It is an exciting journey living with your best friend. Everyday is something to look forward to, most especially that I am in an interracial family. I am not really conscious about that. Being aware of the needs and the expectations of other help me in this regard. Plus, he is a very loving husband and he is someone I really feel comfortable with. I love this small family I call my own. Me, my husband, and all the bears I have. Hihi.

So I think that's it for now. See you on my next post! Thanks for dropping by!
