Day in Photos 12/30/11
Had my hair colored today in Revlon Colorsilk Luminista 150.
My Mom.
My boyfriend dad.
I know planking is so passe but it’s fun with JBL speakers. Sadly, I wasn’t able to plank on the higher-end ones that we have - they’ve been stowed fast!

Bloggers Meetup!
Self-explanatory title. This is the first meetup! I don’t regret going. I totally enjoyed it. There were awkward moments at first since I don’t know most of them (and they knew each other already! unfair!) but we clicked so the laughter started rolling…
We’re so showbiz. Everyone in the cafe was turning their necks at our large group of young and fabulous people with big...

1,975 km Christmas Road Trip
*image-heavy post, but please bear with it*
My small family (mom, stepdad, me) don’t celebrate Christmas. And by ‘celebrate’ I mean prepare a buffet for Noche Buena or exchange gifts. My parents are busy people Christmas is a well-deserved break to do nothing but sleep all day. With the sounds and lights business, their working hours are from 9am-2am almost everyday. The stress...

Festive Biker Chic
Thrifted nautical top, Crissa high-waisted skinny jeans, Lonchamp bag, Parisian peep-toe booties… Hype this look on Lookbook.nu here.
This is the only pair of jeans that I have here (this vacation). It was supposed to be donated a year ago because it didn’t fit me anymore. I was surprised that it fit me again when I tried it on today.
A lot of the items I packed were dresses,...

It rained in the middle of the day while we were rushing our things to do.
Drew on my nails with permanent marker, to my mother’s dismay…
Ate here.
Where there’s Christmas lighting everywhere.
Ordered the usual Alavar Seafood Special and then some…
Gasp! Deadly fork with steel teeth :( hurry and change it!

Can't Do Outfit Posts
I promised myself I’d be more fashionable next year 2012 so I have started window-shopping different shoes (including booties and heels) slowly, really really slow. And having interest in accessories. This is no fashion/beauty blog but I like to look presentable and fashionable too….
So here’s my failed attempt at an outfit post. I had my dad and one of our workers to take the...

Tweak! Tweak!
I updated my layout. Again. What do you think? I will still tweak my header because I came across a blog that had almost the same header, although different size and font. Still, perhaps I was inspired by that. haha I wouldn’t want to be called a copycat…
On another note, while I was posting this, my mom was segregating her “keep vs donate” stuff. She kept throwing her clothes...

SENDONG RELIEF OPERATIONS
Haven’t learned of the calamity that struck Northern Mindanao last Saturday. It pains me to hear about the increasing death toll. Even more painful to learn that a lot of kids lost their parents, have nothing to eat, and are in the cold of this season. If only I were a rich girl…
So I did what I could do best and compiled relief operations info from all over the net and the blogs I...

L-R: Nikki, Cyndi, and me <3
The season is festive. As evidenced by these hanging balls (oof, that sounded wrong…)
So Cyndi and I got fresh pedicure and manicure, respectively. I actually bought a bottle and brought it to the salon afraid that they won’t have the color I wanted. So glad I did.
I got this Bobbie in Snow Glaze and the result wasn’t as scary gloomy gray...

I'm Home!
Mindanao sunrise on the 18th of December:
It’s finally safe to announce that I’m back in Zamboanga for the holidays. My bestfriend Nikki had her 21st birthday yesterday and she cried (tears of joy I hope!) when she saw me at her party since I told her I won’t be home for her birthday :) I’m such a good friend. hhaha It was Cyndi’s idea <3

Mogu Haircut Day!
My oppa and I went to Bang’s Tony and Jackey to update our manes after a long day at work (for him) and Divisoria (for me). Thank God that SM Manila’s open until midnight!
Normally, when I have my hair trimmed, I go cheap - 50php cheap! I mean, it’s just a trim right? Haircut at salons range from 120 (Going Straight) to 350 (Bench Fix’s top stylist). But at Bang’s...

Maru Date with Kuya
*image heavy post*
My kuya (brother of my mom) arrived today from his Christmas vacation with his family in Davao. Since he’s to leave for work (seaman) again on Sunday, he treated me to Korean food. It will be a while again before I get to see my favorite kuya… He took care of me when I was a baby and always went along with my kalokohan since we’re both Pebrero.
We’ve...

How To Be A Successful Blogger
Just a little while ago, I came across this question: How to blog? Well it was more like an imperative sentence asking me to give tips on blogging. Problem is, I’m not sure if I should be the one answering this. My blog’s relatively invisible with no sponsored ads and very few readers you can count them by hand.
Still, I may not be typing from experience, I assure you this is a...

Christmas Wishlist/Goals
A lot of things maybe far-fetched at the moment, but from my experience in writing wishlists since 2007, I make most come true. So here’s another goal for me:
Goals:
Formally study Japanese language (self-fulfilled! bought a deal online!)
Study Korean language (self-fulfilled! my bf and i enrolled ourselves in language class!)
master the craft of sewing my own clothes and finally revamp...

RSS Y U Missing??
I’m so so sad. Just a few days after I’ve found my perfect tumblr theme, I found out that it doesn’t have an rss feed :( So I’m on the hunt once again for that simple and easy to customize theme. Hopefully linkwithin or at least In-Link works with my new theme.
And my internet is f*ck*ng up :(

DIY: Scalloped High-Waisted Denim Shorts
NO SEWING NEEDED :)
I had this pair of bright green skinny jeans lying around for quite sometime. I remember purchasing this during a Christmas sale. It was a buy one take one. That time, SNSD’s Gee music video was still on my mobile and I always wanted colorful skinny jeans. So I ended up with red and green denims - very Christmas-y.
After quite sometime, I found out that the red one is...

Don't Have to go to Malate
Yesterday was Miss Silka Philippines 2011 and I went to Market! Market! to support my friend Jem Andaya who represented Ciudad de Zamboanga and my make-up artist and part of production team Jessrylle.
Staring at the super white and pretty candidates, I forgot that I had my camera with me. So I ended up having post-pageant photos only…
Our initial plan was to head to the hotel, freshen...

DIY: Chocolate Crinkles
I can’t believe I’ve been posting more DIY stuff lately. All this free time really brings out the hands-on girl in me, although I should really be focusing on my final requirement in school.
This is my first time to make chocolate crinkles. And like most of my first time baked goodies, first batch came out slightly burnt. But that’s alright, the next batch were perfect :)
