L♥ve is a Mutt

Ooops, skipped a week. No biggie though. I can be excused because I was sic k, remember? Anyway, last week was kind of a busy one since I'm back to schooling once again. And the square pics are from my Instagram account. (1)I made banana-chocolate pan breakfast for myself. (2)The juice with the paper straw was taken during my lunch-out with my LK buddies, the people I spent with during my Ireland days. (3)The sunny, LA-ish pic was take outside my office when I went home early. (4) Chilling on a swing over water in Magic Island, Boracay. (5) Me in PJ's when I was sick. I could almost taste that WAHM feeling. (6) Free choco-banana SB drink, which J and I didn't like. Thank heavens we didn't order it. I have to bribe myself to work. I have to go visit SB. (7) That saying was brilliant. Too bad you can't read it. Hah! Check out my instagram to read it, will you? (8) Flavors for the regular coffee. I chose Macadamia and it was divine. (9) Free candies for us when we...

I am an awkward person in front of the camera. I take the most boring pictures in photobooths. I don't know with you, but don't you think photobooths have become overrated these past few years? I mean, it was all cute at first with all those costume props and wacky shots with your friends. It has become the ultimate take-home, anti-vanity souvenirs. Remember those wedding souvenirs when all you can see is this picture of the bride and groom? Well, photo booths have solved that problem -- they made souvenirs extra exciting by allowing the guests to take home a piece of item with their faces on it. But, have they become boring? Well, I think they are fastly approaching the boring scale. Pft. I hate to spill this to you (because I was planning of having the first ever video booth on my wedding, the first ever in my circle of families and friends), but I just can't contain this news all to myself, right? Hear this. There's a new twist in photobooths and it has been...

Are you aware of Open Mic Nights? If you have seen 22 Jump Street, you'd see a scene where Schmidt tries to do a poem for the murdered college girl and he kind of rocked, but messed up. Open Mic Nights is a dream. I always see it on movies and TV shows and as a girl who grew up writing her heart out, participating in one would be like an ultimate thing. With the help of Speak Philippines, I think that dream would be realized pretty soon. They hold Open Mic Nights at Sev's Cafe and I wish to go there very soon. Anyway, speaking of poetry slamming and emotion-pumped nights over coffee, here's another art-scape which, I hope, would take over the Philippine literature very soon. There's this dramatic reading which launched last June 15, 2014 in Century City Mall. This is called Upstart Soundstage,  spearheaded by Miss G. Tongi. Upstart Soundstage is like a full-length drama, comedy or muscial, only different because there's no props, no costumes -- just pure p...

Online marketplaces have, without a doubt, taken the Philippines by storm. It’s a whole new arena of retail merchandising as shopaholics and bandwagoners sign up as members of group buying sites. via Here’s our list of 5 successful online shops, now big brands, that Pinoys truly love: (in no particular order) Zalora Before its launch in May 2012, news about the arrival of Zalora in the Philippines spread like wildfire. The brand made big waves after young ladies and women united and held an early celebration through social media. While there are a lot of international designers featured on Zalora, the company’s strategy to include the most relevant local brands has not only earned a significant following but also showcased how much Filipinos love fashion and how many have finally embraced online shopping.   It’s not just the females who are following Zalora. You’d be surprised that males have also been tinkering with the website to find a new addition to...
