I usually sleep and catch on sleep during New Year's Eve. But I cannot let the few minutes pass without writing my last blog post for 2011.This has been a very great year for me. More than the blessings, material things, experiences, exposures, great job with supportive team and opportunities, I am more thankful to God for keeping me and my family safe, and for meeting a lot of talented and wonderful people in different industries who like me, share the same interest - writing.This year has been so significant especially in my blogging. This...

There are just so many ways wherein one can speak up and voice out his/her views. We are luckier now - because with just a simple tweet and upload, we can share anything that we wanted the world to see and read. We can even connect with personalities, institutions and businesses - simply to express our adoration, or raise a concern.Read more...

I miss reading books and blogging about the books I read. The earlier posts in this blog are all about the books I read (mostly chicklits!) Read this blog about the book Thoughts While Having Sex which I wrote in January 2008! I miss having the time to read books. I got tons of books waiting to be scanned and read (see them here). I am just soo glad I was given the time and opportunity to attend the book launch of Unscripted by Sarah Meier...

I was thinking if I should really get a DSLR - I always think of the pros and cons of things whenever I cannot decide on something. It looks like at this point, there are more pros on getting a DSLR. When I bought my digital camera I got more reasons to buy digital camera BUT NOW - I thought I need a DSLR. Let me list down the reasons:1. DSLR has this commanding approach - when you ask someone if you can take their pictures with DSLR on hand,...

Even though my closet and room are overflowing with clothes and stuff, I still cannot resist a great bargain - something that is worth of its price. Sharing some nice pieces I recently bought.Flats from PaylessI have a lot of heeled shoes which I seldom use because I mostly commute and I am already too tall for heels. So I just wear them if the ensembles call for heeled shoes - if my clothes can go with flats, I wear flats!Read more...
I can't believe it is already Christmas! I slept yesterday afternoon and woke up early this morning to attend worship service. My phone is flooded with greetings from friends, bloggies and loved ones - same with my Facebook alerts and Twitter. So what are you planning to do today? My mom and I will sure watch My House Husband. I missed the premiere night held last Thursday in SM Megamall (I woke up late because of the party I attended morning after...

I just found and played a very cool game in Facebook and I just have to blog about it! You know that I am not a gamer and the last time I played competitively for a video game was when I was in Grade School. Anyway, as everyone knows, and every Facebook user is aware, Facebook also hosts fun games and different brands also host games in their Fanpages and Apps as a sort of promotion.I have played and joined a lot! From normal fast-finger games, Mafia...
Does your company allow you to use the internet while at work? or use mobile phones and tablets? Well, if you are working as part of the marketing or social media relations team, you have the license to connect to the world wide web. But most of the companies do not allow such. Surprisingly, during the event I attended with Sandy Carter, she shared that applicants' consideration when applying for a job is if the company allows the employees...
What would you do if you received an invite to meet your ultimate crush? That someone you have been adoring since you were 3? Of course you will go. So I did go - never mind that I only have 2 hours of sleep. I couldn't miss this chance.One thing I notice about Bossing Vic Sotto - he loves Lacoste shirts!We were invited to the Bloggers Merienda with Bossing Vic Sotto last Tuesday in Cravings, Katipunan (I remember the old, rustic Cravings!) . I felt...

Taking a break from work to blog about this - it is our second call meeting with the Indonesia Team, and I am glad to get to the office 15 minutes before the scheduled call because during the first meet, I was 5 minutes late.

It's the time of the year again, and Christmas party invitations are flooding my inbox and mobile phone. Outfits and costumes (if necessary) are not the only things that make me worry - but my face too!! I need to always look good, if not fresh - especially most of my friends own those precious DLSRs. I feel like I were still on my teenage years because pimples are still present in my face. As much as I want to get enough sleep, stay healthy and...
I am no techie so a little wonder trick of technology amazes me. What is more amazing is to be presented with 9 awesome tech gadgets and accessories from well-known brands. I was glad to have attended the Brands that Click 2011 last December 5th at the Astoria Plaza, despite colds and fever - and bed weather. Read about my new discoveries:Read more...

The world has gone wild the other night, the much awaited phone has come to Manila - iPhone4S. It was like a fever that hit the country. I was busy working on tasks in the office, but Twitter allowed me to somehow know what's going on in the launch with two competing networks' campaign trending in Twitter.As for me, I think I will be stuck with my old Nokia phone (yes, still the one which uses Key Pad!). I have had a taste of using touch screen phone,...

You know how much I loooove bags - stylish and unique ones. I don't care about the brand, as long as I want it, I buy it. Last year, I got too addicted with bags that has Marilyn Monroe's face on it. I even find myself checking online sites (even the ones abroad) just to lust over the bags.The only thing that restricts me from buying the bags that catch my attention is that card dangling on the side and the figures printed on it - the price! And...

Judy Ann opened the door of the room with such a rush and an apology. She was followed by her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, and the first things they said were apologies. We really didn't mind actually.

Holiday Season is coming! I just sent a reminder to our team regarding our Kris-Kringle theme for tomorrow - Something Useful but Trendy. Another email I sent is the list of individual's wishes - which reminded me that I don't have anything yet on my list. There are ten thousand things I want to buy and own, but yet, they cost too much that I am afraid my "mommy/daddy" cannot afford them.I am thinking of asking for:Read more...

When I arrived in Kenny Rogers Katipunan last November 30th, I find "the" Eugene Domingo" sitting quietly in the table, eating her salad. If not for the media people occasionally greeting her, and the My House Husband tarpaulin hanging behind her, I would think she were just one of the customers, enjoying a good meal on Bonifacio Day. She is as simple as that, but simple is not the best term to describe her achievements and talent.Read more...
