In our case, we sorta’ are. Family, I mean. Friends are priceless. Best to treasure the ones you meet however late in life but prove to be folks of kindred spirits and can be considered family. These individuals will be your support; will be there to rally you to become a better person, to chase your dreams. And how can I forget the role that friends play in times of heartbreak and loss? Lifting a quote from the Jane Austen book, Northanger Abbey, which I’m currently reading,“Friendship is certainly the …

My sister can attest to my affinity with outlet shopping (I heart Harbour Town in Australia!) and this recent trip to a shopping mall located outside Manila (northern part of Luzon) seals it. I still can’t believe that my friends and I went out of our way to especially go to Robinson’s Starmills in Pampanga. Call us crazed shoppers out to bargain hunt! Twas definitely one helluva roadtrip we took last Saturday.
We were all looking forward to great fashion finds at fabulously friendly priced deals esp after having read …

This post is one of the many late feature posts I’ve got lined up. I can’t believe we’re halfway through 2010 and I’m still writing about dated things. Believe me, I wanted to leave these things un-featured but having come across a few photos of these dresses caused me to stop and re-think that decision. They’ve become a couple of my favourite dresses so I know I had to share them with you folks.
First up is this adorable dress I bought on sale. Found in Promod’s “Nice Price” rack, a …

Last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to have been able to go to witness the launch of the Nestle Fitness Show Off Your Shape Promo. Why fortunate? Apart from hearing things first hand from folks behind Nestle Fitnesse, I got to see the wardrobe that’s up for grabs in person. Hehe.
This launch event was my first stop of three scheduled thingamajigs for the day. It was a great way to start my day — makes up for the fact that I’m actually working on a weekend, gah — since I …

As mentioned in my previous post, I’m here to report my latest purchases from Promod. After the fastest recorded time I’ve ever shopped (under an hour!) to date, I’ve managed to bag two (2) pieces plus a little something extra from one store and don’t forget that I did shop at Warehouse right before that.
One is a Cropped Cord Trouser.

Aside from the cord material, I’m loving the little details that make up the entire thing. From pockets, front and back, to belt catchers. It also has the casual turn …

By tradition, Mondays mean a work outfit that leans toward the more formal business or corporate attire (at least from experience). It’s probably due to all the meetings and such which are usually held on this work day. But there are three (3) reasons why I opted to wear flats with a dress on a Monday.

Reason 1. Current weather.
I didn’t want to get caught in a work attire which can be troublesome in case of a downpour. It’s actually a stretch that I wore a dress.
Reason 2. Giving my feet …

Don’t you find it odd, sometimes, that you would go through a lot of things in prepping for a single event which will only last a good couple of hours or so? Energy and time spent picking out the perfect outfit, bag and accessories then planning on how you’re going to do your hair and makeup. Wasted time? Depends on the person really. And, at least, it was fun.
I wanted to wear something special to one of the events from the Inquirer Lifestyle + Nokia Lifestyle Series, The Look of …

Earlier, I had dropped by the PROMOD store at Greenbelt 5 to pick up the outfit I’ll be wearing for tomorrow night’s event. Plans were a bit last minute but I’m glad things worked out. Initially, I thought I was all on my own but having to work through an approximately 100sq m of store space filled with tonnes of fabulous options, not to mention that I’m already pressed for time, a little help was greatly appreciated.
Enters PROMOD’s in-house stylist, Carla Abdon.

It’s my first time to work with a stylist, …

*Humming the song while working on the post.*
For folks who are not familiar with the song, it’s one of the country’s local tagalog folk songs (also sung while playing a traditional game with the same name). And the reason why I sing hum is because I spent a day in a farm and I’m here to tell you a lil about my experience in photos.
Though I love the hustle and bustle of the city life, I can appreciate the simple, refreshing environment that can best be found in rural settings. …

It’s all part of growing up. Responsibilities multiply and would either nag you into irritation or push you to be a better person. No matter how much stomping you do, they simply won’t go away. Best to accept and deal with them accordingly. Our portions are as it should be. It’s all a matter of patience and good time management.
Waking up at 3am wasn’t part of the plan and had laboured to go back to sleep but was unsuccessful. I dragged my arse off my bed and decided to …
