Super Cute Alert: Nails Inc.& the Elephant!

Last Friday, we had our Christmas party. Down to office workloads and wound up for activities. My colleague friends also make a “Christmas-Kringles” which suprisingly my “baby” is a closest friend of mine. So I dont have hard times for what gift I would give to her. I mean, she'd have to buy the stuff that we saw in the bazaar we went. Now, I knew what gift could please her. :)Wohoo!

What I bought for her is a floral elephant from a bazaar.

Isn't it cute right?

Our party this year was not better-off than before, but we enjoyed the games that every year was different. Thanks to Tito G who always organizes this event. Our food was very appetizing; hence, I wasn’t able to capture all those delicious food and red wines as well. Oh I love the Conti's Black Velvet Cake! (winks)

I'm sure we’d lessen-out all the tired-works and pressure from the bosses. Hehe...Aand we are agitated to open gifts and giving gifts to others. I had a lot of goodies received, but still, it's better to give than to receive. Skincare and beauty goodies as well as useful things. And the best was …. a nail polish from Sephora that I will try soon. This colleagues friend of mine really knows what I’ve like most, which I fascinated.

diba they're so cute?

I’m weird, cray cray for those little things. LITTLE THINGS on life that counts. What little things that you like most?

Blogging, Is this really for me?

I was in a long hiatus without compassionate with the blogosphere. Who cares? I just have eight readers in my list and less than fifty in circles’. It’s not argumentative since for the first time I made this public memoir for some random chronicles in my life. I admit, nothing more unusual to talk; several products to review, my much-loved for nail polishes and some beauty products, the scheduled Mom 101 every Wednesday also failed as well. So sometimes in my free time of work, I already ask myself, “is blogging is really for me?” I don’t have connection as some famous bloggers has. No time to attend for interesting events that may conflict my full time job.

I may have list of my favorite fashion blogs and lifestyle-mommy bloggers and thinking to be one of them (so ingit am I! ) how the hell they become career mom and a top lifestyle blogger they’d be. I mean, the way they become pro in blogging. Blogs that like infomercials and peppered with links and sponsored everything (without bothering to disclose it) and while the works for them. I like some bloggers who are very honest and lovely things to monetize their blogs. I don’t read blogs that just for the sponsored and bared with all product reviews. I may choose to read the great videos tutorials and gorgeous photos (that some how’s my frustration too!) I know we have our own perspective in blogging. We have our own vision and voice to stay in blogging. I do it-and so do the best on the web and on progressive. Yeah, anyone wants to turn lift up their blog despite of all hard times and doings we stumble.

I look on some bloggers who are deemed in such affiliate links and hosting giveaways (that I also joined in some!)  Writing about stuff from their heart which led me too in my various product posts because audiences come to us FOR our honest reviews, right?. But this blog post is likely a fall short. I had a lot to consider continuing for 2014.

I'm thinking that it’s not really for me, but I feel the sense to continue even though it’s not regular posting. Where I am in this type of communication? Will I pursue with my own? Since I am the QUEEN of this blog?

Okay it does depend on me. I’m blogging for me. Then for my brand, because blogging has lessened my stress and insecurities. It given me another way to grow and reach more lovely people.

I want FOCUS. I want to go back to where my heart is really is which and where I can be me. So here I am at, building another ME to share with you along. Finding balance and joy trumps ALL other things.

Any new bloggers out there that pursue blogging even it goes hard times? Any advice? Share me your power encouragements.:)

Holiday Gift Guides for Babies & Big Kids!

 Did you already feel the holiday season? From the event yesterday I attended, it was a merely fact that Christmas is on the way. More than anything, kid's eyes lighted up when they see Christmas lantern as well as some colorful and lighted christmas decorations. You want your kid's to be suprised too when they tear open that wrapping paper.

Every year, I am so excited buying gifts especially for the kids (godson and goddaughters) when I am not already the Mrs. Boo.Christmas is for children right? So you already shop for those kids? If I would have my list to buy gifts for kiddos , I would preferred things rather than giving cash. Toys and clothes would be enough for babies, toddlers and big kids. What I got from yesterday event was all clothes for young girls. I don't know if it's fit my little girl or else, I was able to give them to my goddaughter.:)

Did you already shop for your family and loved-ones?

Usapang Exports: The Workshop and Goodies to Buy!

This was the last day of the Usapang Exports that was started last Monday, 02 December launched by the Department of Trade of Industry under Bureau of Exports and Trade Promotion. As part of the building and the national government itself, I have attended the 4^th day class wherein the talk is all about “Increasing Business & Security through Information and Communication Technology”. Some of you may get lost about what am I talking about, To cut the show, it’s all about strategies on how you (Filipino businessmen) exports their goods mostly in Japan, Australia, Europe and other countries that cater some of our items.

so what among these three is your bet? mine's collar necklace like fish skin:)

pearls and other handicrafts from Cebu

collapsible boxes and other native accessories

so this one? isn't it cute? no not that guy, this lantern made of abaca' 

From affordable branded kids apparel to accessories, collapsible boxes to christmas native decorations, and some items that you will see or handicrafts by some regions like Cebu. It was such a perfect timing for this season because you will buy them in reasonable prices. There's also food carts that install too. (Not in photos)

What I’ve learned from the talk was a step stoned for a business-minded like me, to be able to cross the path of how you would managed your businees and procedures on how you could export it through abroad. Being a competitive in managing a business is the roots on success internationally. I wish I could pursue my business on apparel and imported fragrance. Wish me luck guys:) Have a great weekend!

Hi-5 on Manila this December!

I leaped for joy when Disney Junior release about the upcoming treat this December. I know tis season bring the fun for travel, shopping and shopping for kids. Who wouldn’t excite? Shout for expense! Anyhow, Hi-5 cast  makes their way to Manila and Cebu. My nephews and nieces were all excited too, even the UNICA hija with me.

Hi-5 group is one of my little girl’s favorite shows in Disney Junior. It was the top-three most successful televisions shows in Australia and here in the Philippines that airs every day, that’s why Amber really stood up when the gang sing the “Amazing, Wish Upon A Star, Some Kind of Wonderful and the L.O.V.E songs.

Tim, Casey, Lauren, Stevie and Fely would definitely bring joy to children on December 13-15 on SM Aura this year. ( Super lapit sa house) Wohoo! This exhilarating show jam-packed for upbeat songs and dancing to see all the little smiling faces. (and even oldies like me!) hehe

Now, I should get my ticket to SM Tickets outlets located in all SM Cinema ticket booths or for hassle-free, just checking the www.smtickets.com. Tara kita kits tayo sa event!:)
