Big D's Smoke House

Since I was really in a bad mood which started on a Monday. I went on a shopping spree to ease myself. To end my day just fine, I told bb I wanted to try the taco's at Big D's in Katipunan.


Just beside Hassan's Big D's Smokehouse focused very well on their interiors. Everything is car and motorcycle related. They have diecasts on sale on the left side and Oil can seats to accommodate. I am a huge fan of cars and diecasts and appreciate the setup.

So here is their sample menu which I got from their facebook page.
I can't really say that it's cheap nor expensive. It's like it is a bit over priced. I also wish they have more on the menu.

 
I was very intrigued by their huge tacos.


Chicken costs more than beef. This is priced at 150php while chicken is at 175.


So yes... we are just amazed how big it was. The question is how do we start eating this?

Whats inside the taco by the way? Some melted cheese more of shredded veggies and on the bottom part about 1/8 of the taco rests the cheese and the ground beef which is awesomely good. I was just of disappointed that the whole thing has more veggies than the meat. But its good. The taco shell aint taco shell. Its like Lumpia wrapper. So yes that made me a bit disappointed too. But don't get me wrong. I loved the whole thing its just that with what is inside 150 is just too much.


This is the Total Wreck Burger. Which also costs 150php. Just regular sized bun with oversized meat patty. I think they were having fun with the Cheese sauce. So whats in it? Bottom to top?
Bun - Beef Patty-Coleslaw-Im tasting pinepapple-Cucumber-Tomato-White onions-Cheese-Mayo-Bun and a toothpick to hold everything together. Nothing spectacular really. If I am selling a burger like this with its name, Ill include potato wedges, bacon in huge buns then deep fry it. And thats what you call a total wreck!

Break Out: Day 7


Hi you guys!  I know I made an entry back in July I think about breakouts and stuff like that. So yes let me give you an update.  I bought lots of products and I was really impatient. So the next day I had to go to the dermatologist to get a shot of cortisone. It did subside faster and dried up in a few days.

It was a killer picture moment for those huge zits. But anyway its there and all I have to do is just be patient that it goes away. By the way, when I went to the dermatologist, she gave me some prescriptions which I didnt buy. I did regret it tho because the month after I was having the same cystic problems. So last week I finally bought what was written in the prescription. I made sure to research first on the products and reviews. Some gave different feedbacks and I ended up "what the heck! Ill just try it for myself"

So here it is. I started last Wednesday and it has been a week that I have been using these products.

First Day:

Sorry Im just using my phone to take a pic. But here it is the red patches near my jaw which appeared.  Just huge!

So in the morning, I have Benzoyl Peroxide where my zits are and where I happen to have my zits before.



This does't feel like Panoxyl. I don't know but Panoxyl doesn't work for me for some strange reason. 
This costs around a little below 300 pesos for a 15g tube. It doesn't feel that mentholly (you know that cold sensation)


Every night after washing my face and doing some facial cleanser, I put on a think layer of Stieva-A. I was prescribed on a .25%.  After that I just pray it works.

In the morning I wash my face again and put on Benzoyl and Moisturizer.


So today is exactly one week.


There it is! :) I also have my hair up most of the time. It is still along way to go :) Im giving it 3 months to see the results.

What I have noticed that has happened:

-The pores along the sides (between my eyes and nose) have gone smaller.
-Blackheads in that area has been removed!  :)
-Skin peeling (more like flaking) along the nose and sides of my cheeks. That's why you should put moisturizer in the morning.
-Smoother and softer skin.
-Blackheads on my nose has reduced.


I'll blog again after a week and we'll see. :)
