Gottis

It was last November 6 when my dear friend Tynette and I met, where else? No other place than our usual meeting place--Megamall.

First off was a long chat at Jamaican food store where I waited for her to arrive.
Second was a roam around the mall and some shopping from one boutique to another.
Third was a stop at ladies bathroom to freshen up again.
And fourth was a where do you want to eat scenario.

Until we decided to eat at Gottis.

 Caeasar Salad

Four Seasons Pizza

Pasta ala Vodka

Those are the best, highly recommended. Not to mention the price, too affordable.

I Love You, Siomai!

Siomai, siomai, siomai! One of my favorites, most especially when crispy-fried.

But unfortunately, what I have eaten this afternoon wasn't fried but steamed. Still, it's siomai right? I ordered beef,pork and shrimp siomai plus I asked for an additional chili. Yumminess!

And oh, haven't I told you yet I tried cooking that at home? Husband said it was fine, but I know it wasn't. lol

Delicious Jamaican Pattie

Last time I went to Megamall to meet up with a friend and I passed by Jamaican store, I can't resist not to go inside and eat. It has been quite a long time since my last bite of their yummy patties. Not to mention their Beef Pinatubo, deliciously hot and spicy. I just love it up to the very last bite.

And I just love the ambiance there too. The store walls were all Jamaican thingy. Oh well, can't wait for my next bite of their patties.

Effects of Nail Polish

Actually my nail polish stay more than the necessary time and they said that keeping it for quite some time may result to yellowish brittle nail in the end. And honestly, mine is getting yellowish already. Anyway, so I search about the possible causes  and the effects of frequent usage of nail polish.

The effects of nail polish ingredients:

Toluene

Toluene is used as a solvent in nail polish, meaning that it dissolves other chemicals to create a solution. It's a dangerous chemical that causes birth defects in animals, affects the central nervous system and is fatal if swallowed.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is another solvent with a hefty health risk attached: It's a known carcinogen, which means that it causes cancer, no question. The fumes of formaldehyde are irritating to mucus membranes in the eyes, nose and throat.

Ethyl Acetate

Ethyl acetate evaporates from the nail, which causes the polish to dry and harden. This means that you're breathing in the fumes from the chemical as your manicure sets. This solvent can pass through the skin, and prolonged exposure to the fumes can lead to lung, heart, kidney, and liver damage.

Butyl Acetate

Butyl acetate is also a solvent used in nail polishes; it's toxic, and causes irritation to eyes, skin and lungs.

Dibutyl Phthalate

Phthalates are easily absorbed chemicals that keep nail polish chip-free. The European Union has banned them, but they're legal in the United States. They're linked to early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men, sexual deformities and problems with fetal development.

Phthalic Anhydride

Dibutyl phthalate is often replaced with phthalic anhydride, which isn't much better. This chemical is also a major health concern. It may be toxic to human immune and respiratory systems, and can cause cancer, organ damage, and membrane irritation.
