Eversince I've seen Women's Hitch at Payless Store, I promise myself to buy it when I get my salary. But since my dad promises to buy me a boots, I asked him to buy this fancy shootie instead. He doesn't want it though because of the lace, however, when he gets tired looking for a good boots, I finally convince him to buy me this! Yey! Love my Dad! I will surely have a Wonderful Christmas! :)
Bazaar season is here, and you know what it means? Shopping begins! I always want to experience how it feels like going to bazaars, because I know that there are many great stuff being sold out there. So yesterday, my cousin and I had the chance to visit "Moonlit Bazaar" at Rockwell Tent in Makati. It was known to be the trendiest bazaar in the city and I’m telling you, it was TRENDY!!! In fact, even inside the car, you can see attractive lighting emanating from the tents. We go inside after paying P100.00 entrance fee.
It was small but has unique fashion finds from clothes, bags, to accessories and shoes. Also, they sell scrumptious food. Since it was my first time, I allow myself to shop everything that I adore and eat some of the foods at the stall. Moonlit Bazaar runs last Nov. 11-13 and will run from Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 9-11, 2011. Here are some of the things I bought from the bazaar.
I love this Bag from Ichigo
Desk Planner, I'll be needing this at the office. :)

I am checking some updates on my facebook account, when I ran across my friend's status. I find it funny and interesting, so I will share it to you.
Here it is:
"Ang ugali naming mga lalaki..." INTINDIHIN NYO NAMAN KAMI! haha :D
1. Moody, pero hindi pinapahalata, kasi ayaw namin na maging malungkot pa ang ibang tao sa paligid namin dahil sa kalungkutan namin.
2. Ayaw namin ng nanlalambing, hindi dahil sa tinatamad kami o may nagugustuhan kaming iba, dahil alam naming masama kapag napasobra kami, masyado kayong kumukulit lalo.
3. Sinungaling. Oo sabihin na nilang kami ang pinakamasamang uri ng tao sa mundo pero ginagawa lang naman namin ang pagsisinungaling na ito para maiwasan na masaktan ang inyong mga damdamin. Kung minsan, hindi na lang namin pinapansin kung ano ang nakita namin, para wala ng masyadong usap.
4. Kawawa lalo na sa text lalo na kapag may ginawa daw kaming mali kahit hindi naman namin alam. Dapat kasi, intindihin din sana ang side ng mga lalaki.
5. Mas seloso kami. Natural makikipag-usap kami sa ibang babae, hindi maiiwasan ‘yon. Ang hindi lang alam ng mga babae, kapag may kausap na iba ang mga girlfriend nila, kahit ba babae din ‘yon ay nagseselos rin ang mga lalaki. Babae lang ba may karapatan magselos? Selfish din kami. Hindi lang siguro natural na showy o masalita ang lalaki sa ganyang bagay.
6. Hindi magaling magtago ang mga lalaki. Kung magaling, e bakit nakakapagbigay kayo ng pagseselos? Ibig sabihin may hint na lumabas. Oo sabihin na nating ang puso ninyo ay sa amin lang kahit makakita kayo ng 1M na mas gwapong lalaki, may chance pa rin na sa 1M na ‘yon, may isa din dun na mapupukaw ang atensyon mo. Magaling lang kayo magtago.
7. Pinagmamalaki namin ang mga babae sa buhay namin sa harap ng maraming tao kasi ‘yon ang gusto nila, e. Sunud-sunuran lang kami, wag lang magkaroon ng away. Kung kami tatanungin, mas gusto namin na ipagmalaki sila ng hindi nila alam di dahil gusto namin manglandi ng iba. Gusto namin i-preserve ang babaeng iyon para lang sa amin.
8. Ayaw namin sa mga nililigawan namin ng ubod ng tagal. Nagmumukhang paasa. Pero sa totoo naman paasa lang naman talaga silang lahat sa umpisa. Gusto kasi nila may marinig muna bago kami kilalanin.
9. Kapag maingay kami, sumabay kayo. Gusto namin ng masayang buhay, at ang pagtawa man minsan ay nagsisilbing panandaliang paglimot sa aming mga problema. Gusto namin sa hirap at ginhawa nandiyan ang mga babae, kailangan man ng yakap o ano, basta ang gusto namin kasama lang sila. Tapos.
10. Gustong gusto namin ‘yung mga babaeng malaki ang respeto sa amin, at sa paraang iyon ay rerespetuhin din naman namin sila at ibibigay ‘yung kiss on the forehead na gustong-gusto nila. Tandaan ninyo sanang kung makakagawa man kami ng kaimoralidad sa inyo, siguro dahil nagbibigay kayo ng pagpayag na gawin namin iyon, direct or indirect man.
11. Ang nagpapa-turn on samin ay ‘yung babaeng kayang tumayo sa sarili nilang paa. Ayaw namin ng mga pa-baby effect kasi nakakainis. Ang gusto namin ay ‘yung makakasama sa paglalakbay, hindi ‘yung kailangan mula simula kami ang aalalay.
12. Ayaw namin sa mga babaeng pakipot sa text. Kung mahal ninyo kami, sabihin ninyo. Nakakainis. Para bang alipin ang tingin sa amin — ‘yon pa naman ang ayaw namin.
13. Sobra kaming natutuwa sa mga babaeng nag-eeffort din: kasi nakikita naming naaappreciate lalo ng mga babaeng ganoon ang effort na ginagawa namin para sa kanila. Hindi ‘yung kami na lang ng kami. Hindi sa nagrereklamo kami na napapagod kami, pero kapag ganoon ang nangyayari matutuwa ka bang pinagtatawanan ng ibang tao ang boyfriend mo at tutuksuhing “ander” at “takusa”?
14. Ang pangarap naming mga lalaki ay mapakilala sa mga taong malapit sa buhay niya, hindi para angkinin ang isang babae kundi para malaman ng mga taong iyon kung gaano kami kapursigido na mga lalaki na maging kalahating-bahagi sa buhay ng isang babae.
15. Mas magaling kaming magpretend. Alang-alang itong lahat sa pride namin bilang lalaki. Walang masama kung ayaw ibaba kung minsan ng lalaki ang kanyang pride, dahil ito ang bumubuo sa kanyang pagkalalaki. Kapag mag-isa ang lalaki, hindi man kami umiiyak, kayo ang pumapasok sa isipan namin. Hindi narerealize ito ng mga babae kasi sarili nila ang madalas nilang isipin kung tungkol sa relasyon ang pag-uusapan.
I know you're smiling while reading this. hahaha Coz I am. But 'BOYS' are you going to agree with what I posted? Source: Facebook of Herbert Garcia
I know I've been MIA for almost a couple of months now, and I'm soo sorry for that. I've been soo busy with work lately,but I will try to catch up with you guys. :)
So, I just received my tickets today for my trip to Vietnam for a study tour, meeting and forum. I hope it will not be rainy on our trip. I'm soo excited because it is my first time to go out of the country for free. (Well most of the time I'm with my parents and everything was paid on our expense) Also, I will get the chance to meet doctors and other advocates towards a smoke-free city. :)
Anyway, there's only two days left for me to finish everything. Apparently, I just started my Checklist. It's kind of exhausting but it's okay.
My Checklist:
>Clean my baggage.
>buy shoes, clothes
>get nails done
>check roaming requirements at networking sites
>shop for accessories
>borrow a weighing scale to my godmother (so I'll know I do not exceed on the baggage's required weight)
I was looking for some masking tutorial on the internet a while ago when I saw a DUMMY-friendly tutorial on How to create a movie effect on your photo. I get interested though and eventually read all the steps. I found it easy so I decided to give it a try. And after 30minutes...
I am very happy with the result! I can't believe I enjoyed doing photo manipulation with photoshop. Well most of the time I get annoyed, hehe
Anyway that's it for now, I need to practice masking. So I can follow with the discussion next meeting. Ciao!
Planking is very popular in the Philippines nowadays. So while, everyone is doing it everywhere. I decided to do my own version of planking at the office. I ask our art director to take pictures of me while our editor-in-chief is away.
Office (front door) Outside (piles of magazine)
My own version: the only difference to the original planking style is the hands, instead of putting it on the side. I choose to just raise it.
Hindi na kita hahabulin! May narealize kasi ko kanina habang nakita ko na nakaonline ka... Sobrang deadma ka lang! Kaya naisip ko. Oo nga naman, hindi ko kontrolado yung pag-iisip mo. At yun ang way mo para sabhin sakin na dapat ko ng itigil ang kahibangan kong ito. At narealize ko na yun nga siguro ang dapat kong gawin So I WILL MOVE ON!
Kasi habang sinusubukan ko na ilapit ang sarili ko sayo lalo ko lang sinasaktan yung sarili ko Kaya Ititigil ko na
Mas mabuti pa siguro yung dati yung wala pang complication yung kaya kita kausapin ng parang wala lang! normal lang! Yung hindi nila bibigyan ng kahit anong malisya. Yung walang mang-aasar
Masyado ng madaming nangyari, Naguguluhan na ko Gusto ko ng maging GV na tayo!

My curiousity started when my friend posted a scene in the movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on my facebook's wall saying she remembered me the time she watched such. So the scene was this...
As you can see it was a girl's confession. Confession of her love to Chone. :) Love that she kept for years.
Okay, so the first time I've watched the scene, I was amazed. Amazed for her brevity. There were a few girls who can do that and she's one of those. How I wish I could do such thing. (But I'd rather not to, since he himself do stuff to make me feel that he feels the opposite).
************
I haven't watched the movie not until ABS-CBN has advised the public that they will be airing the movie today. Of course! I watched it. And It really gave me a "Headache" (not literally) because it made me remember things I want to forget.
If and Only if there was a happy ending for me, like what Nam had, then it will be nice! But on the second thought, I just need to keep on dreaming that maybe someday, two stars will connect, hypnotism will just be an option, and that white roses will be a bookmarked to my lovely fairy tale.
So tomorrow, the world will celebrate Father's Day! And for sure, all our dad's phone and facebook account will be flooded by Father's Day greetings from our lovedones! Yet, with the greetings and stuff we can't even tell our dad what we really feel, like even it is a father's day or not. Like me...
Because, it's Father's Day tomorrow, I looked for pictures of me and my dad in our photo album, and took pictures of it, since we don't have a scanner. I was soo cute (self-appreciation). And I bet I looked like my dad.
This picture was my favorite since it was our first bonding moment. I remember I was soo afraid to ride on that horse because I thought it will bring me somewhere, far from my dad. I am crying then, yet! My dad joins me just to make sure that there's nothing wrong with that horse, and that it was fun to ride on it. Like it will bring you somewhere, somewhere like in a fantasyland. And so, we rode on it. And knowing that I am with my dad, I enjoy all the ride, and get on it three times. hehe
How I wish we could visit that carnaval again. :)
While this photo was taken during my graduation. During my college days, I told myself that I will work hard just to make sure that both my mom and dad will walk on the stage with me to hand to me all my achievements. And I did it though. I was about to cry knowing that I make them proud.
******************
My dad is protective, argumentative, funny, sweet, and most of all loving.
My father and my hero.
You are the greatest dad in the whole world. And I'm proud to say it out loud. Also, I want the universe to know that I am happy to be daddy's little girl and angel.
With that, I want to dedicate these songs for you dad. Happy Father's Day! I love you! :)
Yesterday, my cousin texted me that she will attend a seminar on a multimedia school and asked me stuff since I already attended almost 2 seminars such as flash and 3D. And then as the conversation goes, I dunno. All of a sudden I want to do things that I wish to do, over a year ago. hahaha Some of which are:
>Enroll PRINT MEDIA in the school I've mentioned earlier.
Start my masters degree.
Do the documents for our business.
Conduct a Garrage Sale and half of the money that I will earn will be given to a charity and our business, while some of which will be of course spent for my new things. :p
Join in some of the activities of different foundations.
(to be continued) Waaaa! I forgot some of the things I want to do, I will write it next time. I'll put a symbol at the beginning if I fulfill some of it. :)
Earlier at the office, As I was writing my schedule on my planner. I've seen all my to do lists and one of those must do's is watched Pretty Liars Season 2 on television. Because of my excitement for their 2nd season, I have written my schedule on what time should I eat and what time should I turn on our television. (funny! I am hooked by that series). I thought that we are just a day early or a day late on the said scheduled aired by the ABC. But unfortunately, I took a second look on the pretty little liars schedule in the Philippines which I bookmarked and I found out that it will be aired on Friday June 17, 2011 8:00pm. I am disappointed, I should've not look on it.:p Though On the brighter side at least I learn everything early than to be more disappointed because I am the last to know. :p
Too much on that. Watch Pretty Little Liars Season 2, and know more about the girls secret and answer to the death of Alison.
Have you watched disney channel's new movie? Do you meet new friends in detention? Do you happen to earn friends and eventually make a name in school? and Have you tasted the Lemonade brought by the old lemonade machine at the school hall? If you're answer is yes! then maybe you have been invited by the sweet and sour taste of the Lemonade and your mouth must be asking for more!!!
Lemonade Mouth is a musical drama film about five 5 freshmen namely: Olivia White (Bridgit Mendler), is the vocalist and who lives together with her grandma; Mohini "Mo" Banjaree (Naomi Scott), is the girlfriend of Scott and she is also not trusted by his father; Charles "Charlie" Delgado (Blake Michael), (and vice versa) and who's mother wants him to be a soccer player; Stella Yamada (Hayley Kiyoko), the outspoken one, and always get into new places beacuse of her mother's job; and Wendell "Wen" Gifford (Adam Hicks), love interest of Olivia (vice versa), and who has issues with his father's new girlfriend, all meet in detention by different cricumstances. Ms. Reznik complains about how Principal Brenigan gave importance to sports other than the other clubs in the University especially music.
While in detention Ms. Reznik ask them to clean the area and while they were cleaning, the students start tapping out the beat. They begin to pick up all the old instruments inside the detention and start singing "Turn Up the Music." Expecting that they will all be in trouble. Ms. Reznik praised them and persuade them to form themselves into a group and start fulfilling their dreams through their own music. During lunch, Stella saw a written note saying "SCHEDULED FOR REMOVAL at the lemonade machine and start complaining to the members of the lemonade mouth. At the School Halloween Bash were they will all perform Olivia, locked herself into the bathroom because of her stage fright, Stella gave her a lemonade, and as she drinks she became as confident as she can be. The lemonade mouth introduced themselves and start singing "Determinate" and "Here We Go". The crowd loves them and they become popular at the school. But as the story goes, their bad luck begins to befall the band. However, it is too late to say no to the upcoming band competition, they still all agree to perform at the Rising Star (an upcoming battle of the bands). Unfortunately, they almost walked out because of their physical and health problems, but the crowd start singing Determinate and Scott start banging out the guitar, eventhough he belongs to the competitors band to uplift the crowd and the band of her ex girlfriend. Then months passed and they starts performing at different places, they become the RISING STAR.
If only Mo and Charlie become lovers in the end, it will be cute. Unfortunately, Mo accepted Scott despite what happened to them. There's a lot of songs in the movie, and I bet you will be LSS when you hear some especially Determinate. Better wait for it on disney and I'm sure that you will love it also. :)
Have you ever gone into a province with no signal and no electricity? If you have. Do you think you can survive in that place? or If not. Do you think you can carry living in that kind of area?
Last Sunday, I watched "300 Kilometro", it was a 60-minute special documentary that aims to bring the two places and its people closer by opening their doors to the “ultimate outsiders”— five people who will explore, enjoy and educate themselves in a span of three nights and two days. And Drew Arellano, an artist/host who went to Sitio Latag in Occidental Mindoro to learn the culture and the kind of living they have in that area, and to convince the Mangyan tribesmen to take a big leap in Manila.
***** THE STORY At first, he find the place strange but after going through the days, he find the people there nice and cool.
On Drew Arellano's First Day, he tried to interview the leader in the sitio (i forgot his name though sorry!) about how do they eat, where do they sleep, and the kind of living they have. The usual question you ask when you were new to a certain place. And afterwhich join them around the sitio and meet the people, most especially the kids. In the afternoon, he played basketball with the men and the younger boys along the sitio; gave a bubbles, skateboard, and a plastic pools, he teach them how to play with those things. And in the evening, they went to an inland saltwater and catch fish (it was a tribesman who swam and catch the fish in 5seconds), which amazes Drew. They cooked them and eat.
Second Day, Drew convince two of the tribesmen and one woman to explore Manila. The husband of the woman didn't allow him to go to Manila because according to him, nobody will look to their children when he's at work. Surprisingly, Roman, their neighbor volunteered himself to go to Manila which the team have agreed on. After the conversation, the three tribesmen namely: Bidoy, Gabin and Roman had immediately packed their things and take a long hour ride to Manila.
The Arrival. Ms. Isabelle Daza, their tourist guide and the very modern and highly-visible member of Manila’s elite fetch them to the airport and drop them off to their condominium. Isabelle tour them to their unit and help them get familiar to the things in the room. They got into the bathroom, the tribesmen were soo curious about it, like what was that? (Yes, they're soo clueless). One of them, go to the shower room (You know how the faucet was made nowadays, the shower and the faucet itself were located in the same place). He turned on the side of the faucet (which was unfortunately the switch for the shower) the water flow upon him, and he was slightly shocked with what just happened. Also Isabelle taught them how to flush the toilet and how the toilet bowl functions.
Third day, Isabelle got back to the condo, and prepared a breakfast for them before waking them up. They have a very good breakfast. and its the Tour Day.
The Tour. First Stop SM North, Shopping. They rode in the MRT, and upon their trip. They have ran across Pasig River, one of the men said. "I always dream to see Pasig River, and today, I see it already", he said originally in tagalog. As they reach the mall they shop.
Second destination, Ocean Park. They took pictures at the Entrance where the name of the place was located. As they walk around the place, the sea tunnel, where fishes and other sea creatures were seen, the tree were soo happy and amazed that they've seen different kinds of fish.
Third itenirary, Luneta Park, there, they met Patani, GMA7 comedian and a survivor cast. They've been treated to a popcorn and a ice cream. The Ice Cream. They bought an ice cream (which they didn't know that it was an ice cream. The Conversation: Tribesman1: Can we buy three of this? (pointing to the ice cream) vendor: sure, preparing the order. Tribesman1: thank you (upon receiving the ice cream), what do you call this? vendor: a dirty ice cream. Tribesman1: what are its flavor? vendor: mango, ube, and cheese. Tribesman1: ahh it was made by a fruit. vendor:yes!
Fourth journey, Bohol. One way to get there was through the use of an airplane. They went to the airport and immediately go to Bohol. Before they enter in the airplane. They touched it, like as if they want to know that everything was for real. They were so surprised that the airplane has the capacity of 100+ and that the airplane was that huge, since they just saw it in the sky, as a tiny airplane. All throughout the trip, the three tribesmen was just looking at the window, looking how high they are and how the cloud looks like.
Welcome to Bohol. They do Scuba, Plunge, and Zipline.
Back to Manila. They shop again, and Isabelle show them philippine map, and pointed to them where they at and where they'd go. Everyone was soo shocked that Bohol was that far, and that they had passed soo many cities before they reached it. Finally, they say goodbye and Thank you to Isabelle.
(What's Happening with Drew during the tribesmen's tour)
Drew, had talked to his friend, and took pictures of the kids, swim together with them at the sea.
Before the Arrival of the Tribesman and Drew's Last Day, he printed a copy of the children's pictures and gave it to them. The children was happy that they see a real picture, they could actually believe that the picture was handed to them has their faces on it. they looked at it as a mirror though.
The Arrival. The tribesmen told to their community most especially to their soo called leader what happened to them along the tour, and how nice Manila is. And also distributed to them their "pasalubong".
And everyone waa very happy as Drew Bids Goodbye to them.
At the end of the documentary. I realized soo many things like: 1. I am soo blessed that I'm introduced to the society. 2. That those kind of people really exists. they were like a baby, they're soo innocent. 3. They're life was hard, that I will find a hard time adjusting to their community. 4. They're life was soo simple, that they no need money at all just to survive.

I understand that not everyone loves pink, they sometimes think that it's too girly and too bright. But as for me, I soo love pink. In fact, I can even wear pink at school the whole week. hehehe and because of that, school staff calls me "pink" and not with my real name. However I'm loving it, it made me different from any other students at our school.
More so, my inspiration for this week's style is High School Musicale actress Ashley Tisdale. Your Monday-Sunday Look

Last Friday, May 20, 2011 I attended a Street Party together with my officemates and a few friends. The Street Party was hosted by the city government of Makati, and was sponsored by San Miguel Corporation. It has featured live performances by popular bands such as True Faith, The Dawn, Urban Nation, 4Ps', and 808 band.
It was fun, since it was the first event that I covered which I attended at. Because most of the time, I'm assigned to do write-ups for a certain event, and yet I was never allowed to go, since it was in conflict to our office schedule. However, my officemates told me that the Street Party held two years ago was way fun and nice than this year. I cannot agree or disagree on that since it was my first time to attend such. But the way they described it. I think, they have persuaded me. hehehehe
The party was divided into two, the stage was built on both ends which makes the partygoers be divided also (I find it weird though). And honestly, you can see the real 'party' at the VIP's side rather than on the other side. Moreover, they have also presented to the public the 24 candidates for this year's Miss Makati, they were all beautiful and sexy.

This is what I love about my job, I get to know people behind the newspaper. Me, Myself and I with Manila Bulletin's Style Weekend Photographer Candice Reyes. :)
There is a bag inspection a while ago at the office, it's just a trip inspection on my bag, because they are really curious why I always carry a heavy bag. So, for fun, my officemates looks what's inside my bag. Good thing, I'm about to arrange my stuff, so I allow them then.
Here's what's inside it:
1. pink wallet. It's not really what my wallet looks like, but it's pink. It's where my receipt, and i.d's are kept.
2. cellphone. Well, it's not as updated as other phones like blackberry and samsung but what I like most about it is that, it is handy, because it is small; it doesn't have memory cards or bluetooth, which is safe from any types of virus; it has a camera; it is not black and white, and it can easily get signal even if we are in the province.
3. camera. Everyone knows that I love pictures especially when I'm the subject (hahaha). I always bring it, because with the kind of job I have, I should be ready for documenting everything. Also I don't know who will visit at the office which I might like.
4. planner. I'm a busy person. Everyday is all about paperworks and meetings. So I need to bring it to keep my schedules on track. It's been my secretary for almost 3years now and I'm glad that those planner never disappoint me. Only the cancel hanging-out with friends schedule does.
5. cologne. My savior, and my refresher. I always apply this not just on my body, I spray it also around working area in the office, especially when my officemate return at his desk after his Yosi Break ("Smoking". It really smells bad).
6. Kit. my sanitizer, handsoap and a bug spray courtesy of Human Nature. Also a comb, ponytail and a wet tissue. Of course, It's a must for every girl, it's what makes me clean and protected from any kind of germs and insects.
7. mirror. this is what I must always bring because, my eyelashes just always get inside of my eyes everytime I rub it.
8 Biscuits. It's what I eat eveytime I had nothing to do or most of the time when I had tons of things to do at the office. It helps me perform my task appropriately.
9. Chocolates. Stress reliever and an easy to hide food. (I don't want to share it with them, SOMETIMES...hahaha bad girl).
10. Water Jug. I'm just not fond borrowing glass or mugs at the office kitchen because I don't know if it was clean properly or not. So to avoid borrowing, I bring my own water jug.
11. Handkerchiefs. Since we will transfer in our new office on July. Our current office (the old one) comfort room doesn't have a hand drier, I bring my hanky with me, so whenever I washed my hands, I had something to make my hands dry.
12. Charger and connectors. With all the phone calls and text messages I have to received and respond with, my phone easily dies. So I need this one to make it alive again. As well as some connectors for my pictures to be easily transfered in my computer.
Thursday: Gray casual dress, head on to supervise your business, also try putting a black coat and your good to go into a meeting (if ever you have one).
