It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This was just a photo heavy post.  The king and I had a road trip last night; we went to the Mandaluyong cirle to sneak at their booths. We tried the food section and we ate Shawarma, I know some of you do not eat this food. But, promise they have one of the good kinds.  And order for two for takeout.  (for midnight snack) Haha.  My king even inquires for how’s the system in renting the area, even the profits and income.  (Lumabas na naman  ang pag-kabusiness minded nya! ) And he seems he wanted to have one booth for his business idea.

After, we ended to the Pasig City, It's been a long time ago when I've been in this place, where we celebrated princess' baptism at Pasig Catholic Church. Been amused with their city hall, parang Enchanted lang. We drive and stopped along the way to see the beautiful Christmas decorations displayed. I didn't know if these was for exhibit from different places at Pasig City since some of the present consigns.

Ageless Silver!

Let me forestall before you think that it’s silver literally, this is just “another” addiction of the King. Yes, he was an aficionado of this brand, aside from Oxygen Clothing, Penshoppe, as his opt for locally designed clothing, and none other than the ageless twenty five years of Bench. (Siguro peg nya sila Richard Gomex, Dingdong Dantes or Papa Piolo!)hihi I don’t know, all I knew was that he’s fan of PBA  nor NBA players, since he used to play with their university.(I been starting to get off the topic here, anyway, the reason why I entitled this post is that my King shopped mostly to this store, and it seems that his closet would be loads of Ben Chan lifeworks. Haha

1 dozen of polo shirt and half dozen of scent

I was mesmerized when he got home last night with these dozen of polo shirt, and found myself “Dadi boo, shopping galore ka? Ano meron? Then he replied, don’t worry, Sale naman! Ah okay. ) Nowadays, he been impulsive, he bought a lot and in the end of the day he would realized that it’s unnecessary. So to these;

Ala mode herbench cologne

This one is one of my favorite scent at herbench, it’s just sweet and mild and usually for weekdays. (Since I been using Nautica perfume when I’m at work-very scented but not much plus it takes long.)So he got six like parang mauubusan lang? Don’t you have tried this? And Princess magnetize on its color. Whenever it was in stall, she always drag on this.

1M41M Campaign

 This was the bench logo for one million for one million campaign. Bench will donate 1 million to the chosen charitable institution of the celebrity with most number of votes. I have done mine.So you do yours, its for charity naman, tara lets? Simple three steps are; you just login to twitter, follow @benchtm and vote.

Happy weekend!:)

Feel the Cetaphil!

To count on, almost half of year when I used Cetaphil (Gentle Skin Cleanser) for my princess. During her first three months, we have the Lactacyd brand but it doesn’t meet my expectations. Yes, my princess has a very sensitive skin, so we tried the GSC though it was advice by her pediatrician. As a result, I loved how it works on princess’ skin. I get so many compliments on her skin, she looks fair skin and rashes-free. The natural moisture retains in her skin with fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. It generally softens as it cleans, gentle enough for babies.

Best Facial Cleanser award from Cosmo Beauty Awards 2012 (August Issue)

Cetaphil also works on children, teens and adults. In fact, I have to keep re-purchasing of Antibacterial Gentle Cleansing Bar that I used as a cleanser on my face, since I experienced skin drying as the weather’s hot and clammy. Good thing , it added advantage of antibacterial activity and provides dual action moisturizing and non-soap formulation for all over body cleansing.

supply of Cetaphil

I perfectly match it with Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF15,  it’s very light, effective and goes on well underneath make up. It doesn’t leave me shiny and oily face as well as dry ones. The good thing it lasts all day and it protects your skin from damaging UVA rays. (Iwas-wrinkles ang lola mo!) (Lakas-maka-refresh! )Haha.

feel the Cetaphil!

This formula made me think to maintain to aid of this brand. I will never use any cleanser since I already trust the best. Every cents worth, but it is exactly what we need.Let’s experience an invigorating feel of Cetaphil!

So, how's your ongoing commitment to healthier skin? What best suits you?

Addiction to Nail Colors

I might be a polishaholic and rehabilitation won’t help my addiction! This was started in college days, where I and my childhood friend (who is a winner from a prestigious Binibinang Pilipinas,and now wife of a well-known individual) Haha, proud friend here!:) used to apply different colors in our nails. We used to try Bobbie Brown as well as Caronia.

Days come past, nail arts diverse too. Some nail colors or even brands out in the market.You have this Sephora site where you can get the OPI brand, Watson’s store for Caronia and HBC for Sansan like. But Faceshop, Sally Hansen and of course Caronia have in my list.

OMG,I wanna die on it, love the colors, LOVE Kitty! (Sephora:)

We don’t want to uttered “Napaka-impulsive ko talaga!”  But, I love bags eh…and my hubby spoiling me especially when it comes to bags...(si Little princess naman daw magmamana nito!) Haha.

A review on Nivea!

Christmas is very much close to. Our weather was in wintry and the feelings of glowing Christmas. Our skin may be in dry or even our lips so that’s why we must protect it, as I said in my previous post, we must take our health in priority. (blink!)

I really dont wear much make up even I have a lot of make up though,maybe I appropriate myself where I am right now, and been graduated from modeling/joining pageants/etcs...I just do into powder,eyeliner,lipstick and of course lip balms for my lips are dry literally 24/7.

I’m not good in product reviewing, I just assessing those based on my experience, like these lip balms that I used even in my HS days. I normally put this before I took a lipstick to prevent chapping of lips, I even more try some brands but as I experienced, it’s a no no. So I tried this Nivea Lip Balm which specifies Essential Care. It was known as a long lasting lip care all day. I been tried it for almost a year and not just me but also my hubby since he experience drying of lips as he was always outside, doing into field works. And so recommended IT for his protection and of course, I cared..(like a pogi din!hihi!)

Nivea lipbalm

4.8 tube

kit would not be complete without Nivea lipbalm!

We just same type of lip balm, the picture which Nivea Essential Care that colored in blue, with 4.8 grams in one balm. It's also very affordable everywhere ($1.5-$2) in drugstore . According to Nivea, it was enriched with jojobo oil and natural shea butter which moistens lips and leaves lips smoothens and soft. This is good since we have this climate change; it protects your lips from drying out in all weather no matter how much water that we'd drink.I  bought lip balms from a range of prices and a range of brands,but only Nivea works to me. However, it doesn't last very long and I probably apply it every 1.5 -2 hours.I seriously apply it probably five or more times a day. I dont even know if my lips can produce the correct amount of moisture that they once did prior to my addiction starting. This all started in my HS moments. Every since then, I have always had it on my pocket and bag. I even put it before I go to bed because of cold effects of our room. I know, I know I have a problem. This addiction to Nivea lip balm made it so I have tried alot of different types but certainly Nivea works best for me by now.

So what do you think guys?What's your favourite lip balm?Do we have the same?Feel free to comment below.Byies!:)

Live Life without Regrets!

First topic that arrive in my brain as I writing now, is “Just cant take it”-until “Live life with no regrets”. Maybe living life is full of risks and sometimes we did in the past that we wish we didn’t do.

Sometimes, there are times that you really can’t take it; even you know to yourself that you’re the strongest woman in the whole world. (sabi nga nila, Pinatibay na nang panahon!)Sometimes it’s comical, talking to yourself  about what have been done, with some reasons you regrets on something or  you just you yearn to go back.( How I wish there’s Undo and Redo in Experience!) It’s the time when I’m alone, I'm seizing time to look back and think of the REASONS why it happenned to me or why I did them.

It’s confusing when someone assumed that she/he don’t regret in what she/he have through in life. Maybe, she/he consider happiness and some things to do practicing live with no regrets. Best thing I found this Wisdom books to get rid of those negative thoughts.

Here's my ten list to practice for;

1. Realize that it's okay to make mistakes but learning to FORGIVE AND FORGET 
2. Make our HEALTH and wellness in PRIORITY-(sabi nga ng friend ko,Walang mag-aalaga sayo kundi ang sarili mo!)
3. Find the humor in life and LAUGH like there is no tomorrow
4. Be ADVENTUROUS by trying to explore and taking more risks
5. Try to look for happiness as many other people as you CAN (I have my happiness already!hihi)
6. THINK for YOURSELF instead of letting other people's opinoins influence you too much
7. Be THANKFUL for what you have now instead of thinking alot what you dont have
8. Try NOT TO JUDGE people and SHARE your HAPPINESS (except bf,hubby or husband!hihi)
9. DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY THAT MAKES YOU FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELF 
10. AND ALWAYS KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:)

I know it's a big list but Im thinking to practicing atleast five. Put these little things into performing and see where life takes you,without regrets.And please comment below,coz I'd love to read your thoughts on this.:)

Meiji Time!

After lunch we have take,a cold room that make you catnap, a good energizing food aside from coffee,it's CHOCOLATE!Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sounds yummy!But before I make review with this, let me have a backgrounds with chocolates!(Food Researcher ang peg!)Haha.

A Chocolate from the seeds or "nibs" of the cooa plant. Chocolate is given this classification because of the different amounts of ingredients in each form. Dark chocolate has a high amount of cocoa mass making it bitter and rich in antioxidants. Milk chocolate is blended with milk for a milder less bitter taste. White chocolate isn’t technically chocolate at all! It’s actually cocoa butter! Just like Meiji chocolates, It tastes the dark chocolate but it has a little bit sweet that good to have one after meal or snack time.

just looks like Hershey bar

It has "Meiji" name imprinted on each and contains twenty four calories each square with a total of calories of 363 if each bar chocolate has 15 segments.(oh diba, ang galing ko na sa Math!)Haha. It also smells alot like cocoa powder and as you can see, it doesn't cleave along the imprinted lines.It soft indeed and has a little snap.It's the sloppiest chocolate I've ever had.Hihi.

Have you ever tried of some Meiji products?A good snacks for everyone! Not just for kids but also with adults like us!Haha

Panda biscuits filled with chocolate

Strwaberry filled biscuits

With easiest buying,you can visit their website where you can buy on bulks and a good snacks corner for chocolate addict!I cant wait to have some of their Hello kitty snacks,but I doubt to eat them,I must preserve nalang and include to my hello kitty items.Hihi

nice and yummy kittys'

As A Legendary as Ray Ban!

Money and fame are two of the things that every person desires. However, when it comes to great business and excellent entrepreneurship, being rich and famous is not enough. Business aspirants should make a legacy, consisting of inspirations, reputations, outstanding brands and companies that help people lives.

When I was a young, I dreaming of becoming the top famous Filipino Entrepreneurs like Alfonso T. Yuchengco – Heads Yuchengco Group of Companies, Chairman of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), Chairman of the Mapua Institute of Technology. Andrew Tan- runs the Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI), Megaworld Corporation, Emperador Distillers, Golden Arches Development Corporation – Possesses a franchise of McDonald’s  AND who wouldn’t know of  Ben Chan? Who established Bench Apparels (Bench).

Since my heart belong to fashion/apparel industry and dreaming to be a successful entrepreneur like eminence of our own Ben Chan, I get started in industry of business management and doing an online business which may be a stepping stone for me to become on top.I also did staring to have my pages for some reasons and inspired with some bloggers like Cheyser Pedregosa who did in top blogging where her skills in Interior designing outshine her in fashion industry.She was also one of the chosen  stylistas for Charles & Keith as brand ambassadors. (Ang bongga diba!?)

Like the leading sunglasses brand, Ray Ban well- known internationally and patronage in the Philippines.  It's an American brand that developed by Bausch & Lomb. Endorsed by some famous celebrities and after seventy five years founded and strikes the market, legendary is at rest and in progress.

WE, can also be at our own notoriety, but somehow it still in our strength of character to SUPERB in what we are want to BE.

What a Girl Wants!

Hey ladies! I know some of you get crazy when it comes to bags,shoes,accessories or everything’s in fashion trends. You know, Girls want this, Want that. I remember the film “Confessions of a Shopaholic “, a girl who is shop addict, who used to spend money until she drop. Anyway, I just wanted to split this experience that relatively same with the Shopaholic girl. I used to bought on line especially when it comes with a great discounts and bazaar huntings. You know, you been buff if you saw the price was lower than the usual store. Every day I have it in mind to browse Ebay, Sulit,Chicify, and my new added store-the Multiply . Haha. I’m not endorsing it but you would be an aficionada when you saw their stuffs. You know, girls now are in neon,aztez,chiffon,skirts/dresses, designed shorts.I would post some stuff that I bought from them!

Here's what I got from WAGW (What a Girl Wants) via X

paperbad denim shorts and polka long shirt 

Actually,this outfit is my basis,I see them as charming and relaxing.But, unfortunately, tops were sold out and it ends with polka long skirt that would go with paperbad denim shorts.

Don't you like the combination of  Chiffon top with block color piping to Paperbad Denim shorts?

Am thinking if I'l be wearing this with high socks or with just comfy shoes, just hang around and I would mix and match.Meanwhile,I fallout with this! btw,if you want their site,you should browse it!promise,you wouldn't stop without your empty's cart.(yey!this would be definitely my "Half-First Fashion Blog entry";D!)

Good Luck,Bad Luck,Who knows?

Another Monday for the month of October.Usual, Monday is the busiest day of the week. I know, everybody hates Monday or I could say because Monday took the heavy traffic, another bundle of works, due for deadlines and so on…but I feel so lucky this time, unusual in my Monday, I am early as bird, able to attend the flag ceremony,Yup, ceremony that usually in school and of course in the government agencies and seems it's a task that always had a "message for the day" so I listen and who would not remember his story Good luck,Bad luck,Who knows? 

I’ve worked at the government for (2) years and counting. I know it just a random post on my blog, been busy at work like nobody knows how we work as a government employee with LESS PAY and many perceives us as “petix”. But before I defend myself, the good thing in this job is I got a work life balance since I came from an Entertainment company and at the same time managing real state. Been work from eight –ten hours, been flexible at work, always on calls but in GOOD PAY!-who could say NO to this?  that’s why we work harder to get a high pay-and yet many are jobless. Some are in underemployment or over qualifications,especially employed at a low-paying job that requires less skill or training than one posses.
(You may understand here. ) 

Oh Well, I’m just human who also had a personal thoughts in policies and perceptions. In my case, working at established company makes me efficient and productive with high pay ofcourse, BUT with LOADS. Yes, with different loads and multi tasking task while in government, you sought minor task and lower pay instead. Maybe we had this own option, we have our own decisions and  we have the freedom to chose where and what our lives to be..

I may say that I'm still lucky and God hear me for what I'm looking for now.(I always been heard:))

A good luck ahead everyone! , just to Take all events in with the attitude of "Good luck, bad luck, who knows.
