What's up Philippines

I was invited to attend an event which featured Morellato, a brand well known for its Jewelries. It was a very educational event for someone like me who doesn't pay too much attention on adding accessories for my daily outfits. A talk was hosted by a very popular blogger and styling persona, Ms. Jenni Epperson who gave us tips on how to add a few pieces to simple day-to-day get ups and how to mix and match certain Jewelry tones to match a certain special outfit. It was a fun afternoon, that we had a game to glam up a model, we were divided into 2 teams and luckily we got Ms. Wilma Doesnt, a professional model, a mom and a very down to earth and witty person. It took us so much time to create the look we wanted since we are so many in the team and it was really hard to choose which one's to use since Morellato have a lot of  very beautiful fine pieces of Jewelry. Sadly we didn't won the contest, but personally it helped me to possibly style myself and is now a bit interested...

Para sa Hopeless Romantic  the book has a very special place in my heart, I actually have the very first copy and cover produced, it was a bit thick since it had illustrations and the price was a bit higher. I bought it directly from the author, Marcelo Santos III, I met him when he was still actively joining blog events, tall guy, very young and shy. It was my first time to have met an author and a very young one, he called me "Ate" but we weren't that close yet. Not until we ended up being officemates, and talked about ourselves, dreams, plans and future, I literally became his Ate and I called him "beh". When he told me about the plans for his book to become a Movie, I was genuinely happy for him and looked forward to it, I know the story of his book and seeing it on the big screen would be a bonus. Moving on to the movie, I can say that they were loyal to the book, it is really like watching your favorite fairytale come to life. A big factor would be the cel...

Yay! Purchased my first Happy Skin product, I've been curious about this Brand since last year but was still a bit hesitant to try one because I was still sticking with the brand that I am currently using. You see, I am not really so much of a make-up person but to have face powder, blush-ons and lipstick, I am good to go! Last night the Mister and I came from SM Megamall and passed by EDSA Shangri-La Mall our usual route, but for whatever reason I asked him if we could pass by Rustan's, he agreed so we took a stroll and voila, I saw the Happy Skin section, I was immediately assisted by the staff, I forgot to ask for her name, I like her she spoke to me in a very natural chikahan mode and asked me what I wanted, I said I wanted a lispstick but was not familoar with their shades, she then asked me if what look do I want? I said I wanted something that looks naturan since most of my previous ones were a bit shouting or if not they were not as close as the natural looking that I w...

The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said that  overall rates went down by PhP 0.70 per kilowatthour (kWh) this May.  Said decrease is due to lower generation costs from all power suppliers of Meralco.  For a typical household consuming 200 kWh, the overall electricity bill will go down by PhP 140.  At PhP 9.98 per kWh, this month’s rate is lower by PhP 1.46 compared to May 2014’s PhP 11.44 per kWh. Lower generation costs from all suppliers Generation charge decreased by PhP 0.60 per kWh from PhP 5.41 per kWh in April to PhP 4.81 per kWh this month.  The reduction was mainly driven by lower charges from the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) and Independent Power Producers (IPPs), as well as a reduction in the National Power Corporation’s (NPC’s) Generation Rate Adjustment Mechanism (GRAM) collections.  Cost of power obtained from the WESM decreased by PhP 4.19 per kWh due to less occurrences and shorter duration of power plant outages.  The Luz...

Our Cebu and Albay travels this year woul've not been comfortable without these super sturdy yet soft soles.  The Mister had a hard time looking for a new pair that was fit for this leg of our exploration since we are again trying places for the first time, so it would mean, more walking and more talking on how to get here and there. Anyway, he decided on getting Reef which is around Php 1,000, this was his final choice after trying out several other brands, of course we would like a real value for our money and the comfortability, Reef did not disappoint, it was comfortable all throughout our walk-run Cebu adventure. For the Misis (that's me) I chose to get Zoxy by Grendha this is worth Php 1,500 yes I sometimes invest too much on slippers and shoes, for me if it is comfortable and fits me well I'd definitely go for it. I also had a difficult time looking for my own pair, my foot easily hurts nowadays, on long walks when I use my regular flip flops the thong design, so I w...
