Just a few days before the big day (my birthday), I decided to claim my free Yabu Tonkatsu from the Yabu newsletter subscription. It's an awesome thing to receive. I'm so glad I signed up.

My Free Rosu Katsu at Yabu!

Here's how to get a free Yabu Katsu on your birthday month:

Early 2014, I saw a friend’s post on Facebook that says he got to eat at Yabu for free. And after inquiring, he said that he just got an email about a free after signing up for their newsletter.

Once I learned of this, I immediately signed up for the same newsletter on the same day. And it did actually say in the email that I will get the FREE KATSU on my birthday!

And on the tenth month of the year, on the first week, I received the golden email.

It’s very simple yet, awesome at the same time.

And that was how I got a free Katsu Set on my Birthday Month.

For this pre-birthday treat, I went to Yabu with my mom and my sister. :D 

It's a girl's night out! :D

This isn't my first time to eat at Yabu. Not sure how many times I ate here to be honest. But each time I eat here, the thing I love the most from eating Katsu at Yabu (aside from the awesome Katsu itself) is the delicious sesame dressing. I won’t mind paying almost 400 for the meal as long as I can eat as much cabbage as I want mixed with a whole lot of the fabulous sesame dressing that only Yabu has.

Another thing I like at Yabu is that you get to do something that is connected to your meal while waiting for your food. You have to grind the roasted sesame seeds while at your table and once you’re done you can add this sour syrup to make it your Katsu sauce. Don’t really need it though. I just like grinding it while waiting for the food. But the katsu on its own is fine. I actually prefer dipping it in sesame dressing before chomping down on it with some rice.

Yabu has always been my go to place when it comes to katsu and they always keep their standards high. I’ve eaten here several times, at several different branches and the katsu is always awesome, each time. Keep it up Yabu. Hope to get another free Katsu for 2015. :D

Getting a full sized product from Sample room is always awesome and getting the full sized Olay Beauty Wash is even Awesomer. The packaging was nice and it came with a loofah for each bottle!

Olay Deep Moisture with Honey

Olay Whitening Moisture with Pearl Extract

On to the review of the Body wash. The first thing I liked when I used this wash is the scent. It's nice. I'm not too good in describing the scent but I liked it. next observation is that it's consistency is not too gooey. It's light. If you use just the body wash straight on your skin, it's can be spread easily and can wash off well.

But the downside of that is the lather, you need to add more of the body wash on the loofah. The common conception is that the bubblier the loofah the better. Because of this I ended up squeezing more of the body wash on the loofah after just washing half of my body because the bubbles had run out.

Final observation is the effect on my skin. Definitely similar to the feel of my face after washing it with the Olay facial wash, which I also use. My skin is soft after drying it with a towel and doesn't feel stretched or squeaky clean. Which is good, so I don't have to put a layer of lotion to make my skin soft. I hate having to put on lotion after shower. This helps me skip a step in my routine every morning.

The main difference of the two body washes that I tried is their scent. I prefer the scent of the honey wash over the pearl wash. Supposedly the honey has a deep moisture effect and the pearl one is for whitening. But I don't see the difference on my skin on the whitening aspect. I can't clearly discern any difference in the effect on my skin aside from the fact that it is softer after using either of them.

Thanks for the sample, Sample Room!

I chose Instant Pretty and Standout Eyes. I got to choose 2 makeup lessons because my friend Andrei came with me and he didn't need the lesson. obviously. But he also registered. haha

The makeup artist was very nice and gave simple instructions while applying the makeup. She gave pointers on how to apply foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and eyeliner. It all sounded simple and it was fascinating to watch through a mirror while she makes up my face.

If you're living or traveling in Manila right now, you should definitely give Uber a try.

Uber is an alternative mode of transport here in Manila. Like in many other countries, Uber is an efficient way to travel with an UberBlack or UberX car. Unlike regular taxis, you get to ride a private car which is clean, new and safe.

If you have the Uber app, you can get P200 P100 free when you sign up. Just search Uber on the app store of your phone. 

Use this promo code to get 200 pesos:
UBERLIBRE200

You get to ride different kinds of cars depending on the type of Uber you will choose:
UberX or UberBlack

www.uber.com/cities/manila

www.uber.com/cities/manila

With Uber you don't even have to pay in cash. The payment is processed via the app itself, all you need to enter is your credit card info. Don't worry, the card info is stored in an encrypted server where it's safe. :)  It's also cheaper compared to the taxi booking apps because there's no Booking fee :)

Here's an estimate of a ride from NAIA Terminal 3 to SM MoA:

With Uber, you don't need to worry about bringing enough "barya" to make the exact payment for the ride. All transactions are charged on your card with the exact amount. No more "Walang panukli" moments!

Uber also has feedback features both for the drivers and the riders. If you ride with a driver who doesn't listen to you, is rude or is overall lost when it comes to directions you can give him a lower rating. You can also file a complaint if the driver does anything to you. On the other hand, if you are a drunk rider and you puke all over their car or if you destroy anything in the car like the seats, they may also give you a low rating.

Another great feature is the Share your ETA link. While on the way to your destination on an Uber car, tap the clock icon to share your ETA. The app will then generate a map with your Uber car details as well as your destination and ETA. the map also has an animated car that will update your location on the map while you're travelling. It also shows when you have arrived at your destination. Pretty cool huh?

So why try Uber?

It's Cheaper

It's Convenient

It's Cool

A long long time ago, maybe around October actually, I pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Unity at Data Blitz in the Podium. This was after the trailer of Assassin's Creed Unity was just released and I was blown away by how awesome it looked. And it had a different kind of multiplayer, thru coop missions which was highlighted by the trailer.

Anyway, so I paid 500 pesos to pre-order the game. And once it's released I get the game itself along with a bunch of freebies.

Fast forward a month later, I just got the game and I paid additional 1150, for the total of P 1650. This is the price for the PC version of AC Unity. The console games are much more expensive. :P

So here are the pics of my freebies! :D

I got a shirt, a guillotine bottle opener and an art book.

Free AC Unity Artbook

Despite the fact that I "pre-ordered" the game, I didn't really play it until December. Which was actually a good idea in the long run. When the game first came out, it was so full of of bugs that it could have been the cast of A Bug's life. get it? wahaha

When I actually played the game, I didn't encounter a lot of bugs. Some glitches are there but I can't really complain. I'm too much of a fan of Assassin's Creed to even get mad. :)

Usually when you share an Uber promo code with a friend, it will give them 300 free credits in the app. But starting December 1, 2014 the free credit in Manila will only be 200.

From an email of Uber last week, they made a slight change to the free credits you get when you sign up and enter a promo code.

Which sucks so baaaaaaad. Whhhhyyyyyyyy Uber??? Whyyyyyyy???? T_T

Anyway, the promo code is still usable.
Just expect to see 200 credits instead of 300 moving forward. :D
