Gloomy Weather: Try MAS Soup Sarap Instant Soup

You've been lazy, you've been doing nothing since this morning because it's so gloomy outside and it's about to rain. I know how that feels because today is EXACTLY like that weather. Now what to actually prepare if YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T COOK. Well, might I suggest a cup of hot, steamy soup? You don't even have to chop things, you don't have to go to the market, you just take out a sachet or two of these lovely MAS Soup Sarap Instant Soup and boil some water. Put the powder in your cup and pour the boiling hot water in it, stir and enjoy!

That's just the start. Now do you have those days when you don't have anything prepared for lunch and dinner, just FRIED things? I don't mind fried chicken, fried fish, fried anything, but we often get gagged with it and rice because most of our dishes are dry. You're perfect solution is soup and with the ones out there in the market, it's going to be pretty expensive sometimes, but this one is affordable and you could get one packet for one person. Put it in a bowl and stir with boiling water, et voila! You've got the perfect thing to start the meal, you've got something to accompany it too because you could put it on white rice and enjoy lunch or dinner even more!

Mom's favorite is the MAS Soup Sarap Instant Soup Seafood Flavor. She loves the bits of shrimp and mushrooms that are in it. It definitely is rich and creamy, but without losing that fresh seafood flavor. I would compare it to that popular brand of noodle, but thicker and less the price. Now why didn't people thought (ghetto) about this? 

My personal favorite is the Mas Soup Sarap Instant Soup Chicken and Corn Flavor. I often cook this manually and get grated corn with chicken or crab and that takes me an hour to finish. This one could very well replace that whole process. Now there may be a little aftertaste but make sure you mix it well so you don't have lumps on you soup. Don't also just go for warm water, make sure it's boiling hot so the powder completely dissolves in it. This Chicken and Corn soup is comforting, I could imagine myself sitting beside the window while it's raining outside and I could just curl up with a book or write a novel or two.

Your whole family would love something like this. It doesn't come in a can, it's not expensive either. It's creamy, earthy and has got mushroom bits on it. You can mix it with white rice and have it as a viand without any worries. I like it. It's super good!

Now don't take my word for it. Go to your nearest groceries, leading supermarkets and convenience stores to get your hands on these lovely MAS Soup Sarap Instant Soup varieties. Now those gloomy or rainy afternoons won't feel bad at all because you have this to look forward to. Make it a hot habit and mix it with veggies, pasta, and you could actually still enjoy this. Now wait a minute, did you know this only costs Php 8.00? UNBELIEVABLE! Now head on to http://www.masfoods.com.ph/ to get to know more about this and their other products. I've enjoyed their coffee too!

The Instax Wanderlaunch Event

It's my first time to attend an event that talks about everything Fujifilm Instax at the quaint Vanilla Cupcake and Bakery in Trinoma. They called it "The Instax Wanderlaunch" to feed the inquisitive minds of Fujifilm Instax lovers this side of Manila. I've been dreading to get my hands in one of these because it's one of the mediums I've less explored when it comes to photography. I am a Fashion Photographer and I fancy things like these especially when I see gun-hoe Fashion Bloggers take sheer effort and see their output in just a few minutes. The vintage effects are wildly spectacular, the other cute ingenious things added to that mix were pretty popular especially the ones they have launched last December 6, I wanted to see for my self the new models of Instax. That's where we met the new instax Mini Hello Kitty, instax wide 300 and more color variations of the much loved instax mini 8, and mini 90 Neo Classic.

Instax Mini Hello Kitty

Meet the ultimate Hello Kitty lovers dream camera, this is the Instax Mini Hello Kitty. This is the cutest camera that I have ever seen in my entire life, it'll probably be the same with you guys. If you're finding that perfect gift for your lovely wife, this might be just it. Mind you, this hardware has got a 60mm lens and has a 0.37x real image viewfinder. You'll only see what's out there, or maybe even better. It also has a 0.6 - ∞ focus range plust 1/60 sec shutter speed and constant firing (don't worry because it's got auto light adjust) and a flash range of about 0.6m –2.7 m, so you have room to shoot those OOTD's you love and get the best prints in a jiffy. This thing retails at Php 4999.00, but it'll be worth it, best gift ever for the ladies!

Two cameras up top are the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera

For those who have loved the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera of years now, this might come as a big surprise for you. I almost thought they were thinking of soft velvety cupcakes that afternoon but it looks like they're just adding a few more lovely colors to the already great line of Instax Mini 8 cameras they already have in the store. This is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Grape and Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Raspberry. Man, I could almost see my girl shooting with these cameras on our special dates, I have yet to find her first though LOL. Though really, with this look, you'll love every bit of it. It's yummy in all sides and has got really good grip. It can even last generations but just make sure it doesn't get wet, we all know how that will ruin the moment. These gorgeous things retail for only Php 3699.00. Pretty affordable for the artsy you.

Meet the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic

This has got to be my favorite out of the bunch. It's the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic. The photographer in me tells that it's got one of the most sophisticated looks out of the cameras that were launched that day. You can even put this side by side with the other cameras I have at home. The brown leather look just spells macho all over it without going overboard girly. How I wish I could have this thing along my travels and events because I'd surely enjoy taking shots with it. I hope they can lend me a unit so I can get to test it out some day. I have tons of film and it would be great to have this when I have celebrities to interview. It'll look pretty cool on the layout as well for my articles, then I could give them the hard copy as a souvenir. I'd be like the thoughtful one who gave them their photos. The Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic Instant Film Camera costs around Php 9500.00.

This is the new instax Wide 300

For those who love group shots, or taking wide angled photos of their latest destinations, the new Instax Wide 300 would be your perfect companion. Made with a purpose, it's going to fit any generic tripod if you are planning to capture those spectacular landscapes you have always wished to get a shot with. You have to use the corresponding wide sized film for Instax Wide 300 so your lovely images gets immortalized the proper way. Pretty dope, it's only available in this color now (chrome-ish/Silver and black) which looks very modern in every angle. Don't worry about dark shots too much because it's also got a built in flash to compensate with non available light if you've got problems with that too. This beauty costs Php 6999.00.

I had to have a few shots too you know!

Now that I've got a few films in my hand, I can't wait to start shooting with my friends and family. Fujifilm Instax just takes artsy photography to a whole different level. The vintage-y feel just speaks to me, and a whole other different people that appreciate what the Fujifilm Instax can do. I laud them for continuing this art form, I admit I was a skeptic before but seeing these prints made me feel and realize it has a purpose. It might fit yours too. Go get one at Fujifilm outlets and their partner stores nationwide!
