It’s only when you’ve lost something that you’d realise how much it actually matters. A combination of loss and liberty would provide new insight to how you’d approach life. Attaching yourself to something for all the wrong reasons, therefore crippling your growth and losing your direction, will have unpleasant results. And that’s putting it mildly.
The past week magnified the fact that mirrors are not actually reliable measuring instruments for they simply show you the present and the reflection you see will be vulnerable to a subjective perception. Days presented …

A Week With No Mirrors! Yes, the latest Dove campaign, the 7-Day No Mirror Challenge.
It’s over. I’ve done it. I survived.
Amazing, isn’t it?
At some point, 7 days seemed long. Twas probably right before I accepted the challenge but now that it’s over, it feels like I breezed through the entire thing and is left wanting for more. Ha. Odd. I reckon the joy of discovery overwhelmed me, video editing in particular (I heart iMovie).
The week certainly was composed of good and bad things all balanced out. Sick days (Day 6 …

Two of the more busier days of my week. One is a Friday, the day when all my energy is sapped up by meetings and reports. And the Saturday that brought my feet to the grounds of the Mt Pinatubo Crater.
Day 3 started out like any other Friday except there’s an added skip to my step since I was quite excited about the trip I’ll be taking the following day. Did most of the packing this day so I’d be ready to pick it up as soon as I …

When was the last time you’ve seen your reflection in the mirror?
Frankly, had I not been offered the role of ambassador to Dove’s latest campaign, I wouldn’t really volunteer to spend a week without looking at the mirror. Mirrors are already part of my daily routine. It’s not due to some narcissistic disorder but just your regular practical use. I need it for brushing my teeth and washing my face; for makeup application, hair style and final check of the chosen outfit for the day. I do have to …

One of the the more pressing concerns when the idea of “roughing it” was raised was, do I have a pair of shoes I can use that can withstand the rough trek up Mt Pinatubo? Dear me. You can liken shoes for me to water for a hiker, and this is not simply for vanity’s sake. Wearing the right sort of footwear for trips like these will prove to be vital in the caring of your beloved feet (my sore feet concurs). Good thing, I still have my trusty pair …

Twas at Preview Magazine’s annual Best-Dressed Ball that happened a couple of weeks ago at Republiq, Resorts World Manila. Answered to the query, “Do you have a twitter account?” then next thing was I had found myself in front of a camera, flash fired half a second later that momentarily blinded and disoriented me. There you go. The end of it. They said twas for a feature on Philippine Star’s YoungStar Section. Cool, I guess. Anything that can associate myself with youth. …

As I was headed towards Manila that late Sunday afternoon, my head was filled with hope that it was a great opportunity for me to get out of this fashion blogging slump that I’ve managed to find myself in. It’s been a while since I last took a photo for street fashion so I was gearing myself up to mix a bit of work in on my personal time. I’ve been guilty of working on a few other things over the weekend anyway so as I walk the planks that …
