I won't do much blogging today (because I'm lazy and I'm feeling pins and needles on my leg which makes it hard for me to focus) so I'll let all the photos handle that. ;) Our mom gave us both our own Siri/iPhone4S for Christmas that's why we have lots of photos now! We're officially Instagram freaks! YAAAAY!!! :) Follow us both @anastazcia and @danahnasmoothie. :)

Thanks to Azta Urban Salon for our hair color! As for our makeup, I did mine myself, and our mom did Danah's. Thanks, mom! :)
Because body squishing is an action of endearment where we came from :)
The happy and hard-working team behind the shoot! Danah with the stylist, the photographer, and the author of the article.
After the shoot, my sweet sister invited me to dinner at Belinni's since we haven't eaten there, and we just recently saw this restaurant featured on a random local TV show!
Sticks of bread
Forever goofy
Our waiter who can speak Italian fluently. BONGGA!
Their risotto is perfection! Creamy, al dente, and very delicious.
My favorite! Prosciutto and basil pizza ♥
Winin' and dinin' with le awesome twin sistar who paid for everything! :) Wish she did this more often! HEEHEE! :P
Free limoncello after dinner! :) Quite strong (alcoholically speaking), but very yummy. :)
The walls of the restaurant were made alive with beautiful paintings of Italy.
This is the closest I can get to riding a gondola...for now. ;)
We definitely had fun with the shoot and the dinner date! GOOD FOOD + SHOOTS are something we both love and take delight in. :) Christopher, the author of the article who introduced himself as Toffee, was really funny and comfortable to talk to. He had very interesting questions that were never even asked to us before. :) Read his article here.
Bellini's was fantastic--we got to end the night with a delicious and satisfying dinner! We loved the ambiance of the place. You know the food's authentic Italian because the owner was a legit Italian man! :) He was very hospitable and we even asked him for recommendations. He suggested the risotto with red wine, and it was superb. Can't wait to go back with our family (since they haven't eaten there) and have a feast! :)
It was my first time to visit Cubao Expo and I liked the vibe of the place. It was flocked by hipsters and artsy-fartsy people, which made the crowd interesting. I even saw a group of jazz musicians just funkin' out on the street that night! Awesome.
I had a great night all in all. I'm so grateful for our first feature this year! :) And I'm always grateful for bonding sessions with my twin. I've been too busy with work and I missed dinner dates with her! ♥
