DrawNames.com Review

DrawNames.com
- secret santa generator

It has been hard to organize a get-together with friends especially when everyone seems to be busy or there are always schedule conflicts.  It has been a tradition to meet up with friends for a Christmas Party even if it means our Christmas Party would be in January or even until February.  That is how hard to get everyone to meet up.  We wanted to have an Exchange Gift basically because we wanted to save money by having to give gift to only one in the group and give them what they want.  I had my friends post their wish list so they can receive what they wanted.  That seems the easy part.  The hard part is how to get the bunutan to happen.  Then, an idea came to mind - I wonder if there is a virtual bunutan.

I took to Google and there I found some sites.  This one seems to be the easiest to understand.  It is even on Facebook.  DrawNames.com is easy to maneuver in.  I asked for everyone's email address and told them to open the link sent by Draw Names.  Once everybody has logged in.  The drawing of names can start.  You can also view your baby's wishlist.

Finally, our Late Christmas Party came, and I can say the Virtual Monito Monita is a success!  Everyone got what they wished for.  Next year, we will definitely do this again.

Thank you for reading.

God bless.  (^_~)

We had lunch at Wai Ying for our very late Christmas celebration.  This branch is the one I had visited a few times.  Usually, I get my Wai Ying hakaw and siomai fix at their 168 branch in Divisoria.  Pictured below are what I ordered for lunch.

Hakaw
Hakaw is my favorite.  I get this every time I am in Divisoria as well as their siomai.  Hakaw is a shrimp dumpling.  I like the Wai Ying's version because the wrapper is not a heavy dough.

R. Lapid's Chicharon

R. Lapid's Chicharon

We Pinoys love chicharon.  What is chicharon?  It is a double/triple/quadruple-fried pig skin until it reaches it's crunchy puffed-up state.  R. Lapid's Chicharon is one of the most famous ones leading the market.  They have many branches.  One is particularly near our house so we are regular customers.  Well, only when my seaman father is around because this is his favorite.  I also like their vinegar.  It is loaded with spices and can be hot too.

We went here for the Butterbeer but were more satisfied by the other items we ordered.


My co-Potterhead friend found out about the Early Bird Breakfast Club Butterbeer from her friend.  So the Potterhead that we are, we have both tried the Starbucks recipe and then here we are trying out the other Butterbeer in the metro.

This was the other item I bought at 13% off from Digital Traincase.  I am all for that oil control stuff right now.  My skin has become really oily as of late.
