Hot Young Designers Marketing Names the Fashion Face Off Designers

When I was in College doing some modeling stints, I was invited by one of the College seniors to model the creations of one designers group. I cannot remember the name or the group association, but I know there are words "Young" and "Designers" in the group's name. So the collection has a futuristic theme. They let me wear a gown with see-through bottom, and it was a little revealing. There were twigs and leaves and the color is silver gray.I am...

Yellow Warriors Signed the Yellow Manifesto

My mom never allowed me to buy streetfood. No to barbeques, to iced cold sago't gulaman, or fishballs. She says I might get Hepatitis. I feel envious whenever I see my classmates who would flock around a vendor buying fishballs, scramble (that pink drink with Brown Cow), and other streetfood. We are not from the high society, but my mom is just too careful and I am glad she is because diseases are fatal, and not alot of people are aware. I was invited...

Global Pinoy Bazaar: Not to Miss Event from Yabang Pinoy

Too many events, so little time. I am not complaining, maybe I just felt regretful in missing some of the most "enriching" events because of other priorities. Like tonight, I was supposed to attend the launch of the Yellow Warriors Society of the Philippines (they are a group of patients and advocates for eradication of the hepatitis) in Diamond Hotel. But due to bad weather and worry that I would come late to work (again), I decided to decline the...

Fitness First Supports The Biggest Loser(s)

I have this co-worker who finds motivation in losing weight from the reality TV-show, The Biggest Loser. She now goes to the gym at least three times a week, spending two hours each session. I wish I were like her. Although people say that I don't need to lose weight, I just felt that I need a little stretching and exercise. Even my friend who is even thinner than I am joined the club, not for the hopes of losing the remaining fats he has, but to...

My Things To-Do and Thoughts on Temptation Island (Movie Remake)

Waaahhh.. I got ten thousand things to do and I cannot believe the weekend is ending soon. I woke up late today and I felt that I lose half of the day.

Laser Tag Game: Playing Like a Kid with Kids

When a group buying site offered a discounted price for the Laser Tag Game, I sent an announcement to my team so we can all buy and play. We were all excited about it. I bought 23 vouchers for 2 Laser Tag Games (plus two glasses of iced tea). However, due to deadlines, corporate audit, process updates, client visits and personal gigs, the date was moved and later have been moved until we reached the last weekend before the expiration date. So last...

When the World Around You is Grieving

My small world is grieving. In less than a week, I have heard of 5 deaths and loses from the people closest to me. Yesterday was my uncle's interment. It was a sad scene to look at a grieving family. My cousins - one who lives abroad and the other lives in the Southern part of the country flew to Manila to spend the last few days with my uncle. This made me more firm about my decision to stay here in Manila and be with my parents rather than work...

Multiply.com: Multiply Convenience and Safety at the Biggest Marketplace Online

The first items I had bought from a Multiply site were books. Second hand books. It was a risk that I have to take. The seller just opened an ad in an online forum and link back the photos of the items to a Multiply site. I sent a message to the number and the transaction was closed in less than an hour. I paid through GCash and the following day, my books arrived at my friend's mailbox (I gave a different mailing address to be safe). It was indeed...

Rock and Roll with Yeng Constantino on Her Second Major Concert

Anyone who doesn't know Yeng Constatino?! I am guessing you were born only yesterday. Even kids and toddlers know her songs and sing them in the school fairs. Too bad I only get to watch her and hear her song in ASAP, and I am just soooo sad that I won't be here in Manila for her Second Major Concert entitled Rakenrol Jamming with Yeng Constatino on August 5, 2011 at the Aliw Theater.Read more...

When I got an invite to attend the Purefoods Tenjer Juicy Hotdog Presscon last week, I cannot say No. First, I love attending events and campaigns of the products I love and consume/use; plus, I want to meet and see Judy Ann and Ryan in person (am I too shallow?!)So last Saturday (July 2nd), I just slept for two hours after work and headed to 55 Events Place in Tomas Morato.

The New Proactiv Gives You Katy Perry and the Smurfs (Movie)

Katy Perry is not polite. "I am not polite. I am proactiv". That is printed in the new campaign material for Proactiv. The favorite singer is the newest endorser of the all-new Proactiv Solution.It is somewhat comforting to know that even celebrities, despite the glamour on stage also worries about acne, Katy Perry included (and she is joining forces with Mandy Moore, Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber). I personally know the struggles of dealing...

The Digital Walker Cafe (DWC)

The launching of the Urbanears Earphones last Friday was indeed successful; as I realized that Digital Walker is not just a store for all the good tech stuff, but next to it is the DWC or Digital Walker Cafe where you can relax and dine after some serious shopping.I was able to talk to Ms. Gelyn Custodio, Sales and Marketing Head of Digits Trading, and she shared that the owner wants a cafe which serves Japanese-fusion dishes (as inspired by another...

Digital Walker Launches Urbanears Earphones

I have never embraced the whole iPod/MP3 player fad. It's ironic sine I was even the first to own a Walkman and Discman when I was still in school. Maybe I am just not comfy having those earphones plugged in my ears while walking/commuting/hang-ing out with friends; BUT it doesn't mean I don't appreciate music, and I don't use earphones - I love earphones; and I feel guilty that I mostly buy the ones which are cute/stylish/fashionable even if they...

When I did an article for the company's newsletter which topic is about the favorite things our employees do during the weekends, I was surprised that only one person actually shared - read a book.
