TGIF!!

White over something White

There was a legend about women, stated that we're not allowed to wear white after giving birth. Women had their clothes lock out in their closet for some time and only allowing them to wear white in few periods every year. Luckily, that rule was meant to be broken. 

Ever wonder how to wear your whites on a chilling night out?

Here's what I had on my TGIF. 

  

    

                                     

I had my oversize muscle tee(HSM) over ankle pants(GUESS) then glam it with both silver necklace(ALDO accessories) and pointed flats(MKNY). If you're like me who's a little uncomfortable going all-in with the white, small pops of color like the fuchsia pink clutch(RajoLaurel) and bralet top(Calvin Klein underwear) will pare down the intensity of the look while still keeping it fun (and less bridal!). 

Have a Slice from Slice (review)

Sweets boost my mood because they remind me of happier times. 

It's psychological, whenever I eat sweet treats (especially chocolates, cakes and ice cream) I remember positive personal memories of being a kid. 

Aha! Yeah.. A simple magic trick that works well for me. 

Few months ago a friend of mine asked me to see this shop in Taguig but I was busy due to work at the same time completing my requirements for a job abroad so it easily skipped my mind. 

Until last week, I saw an Instagram post regarding the shop my friend was referring to; so I thought I should drop by ASAP and treat my self for something good since I am feeling really exhausted, anxious and depressed these past few days. 

 

Slice is located at G/F Southeast block, Bonifacio High Street Central, 7th Avenue corner 29th Street, Bonifacio Global, Taguig. It is owned by our lovely Senator Pia Cayetano. It seems like Senator Pia is not only good on advocating women and children's right but also a good entrepreneur. 

          "A slice of the good life.” -- the Slice slogan that makes me sink into their cozy couch. 

       

           

       

       

I indulged myself in their famous yema cupcake and it was awesome. People knew I have sweet tooth yet hard to please so when I say it's awesome it is really awesome. I don't want to exaggerate but  my heart melts on my first bite and it seems I can't get enough of it. 

    

The Chocolate Cupcake is moist (super moist) and perfectly baked topped with yema! Somehow you'll think about that chocolate and yema might be way too sweet to be paired up but not really with this cupcake. Sweetness is just right, it taste like sunshine and I assure you'll crave for more! 

                     

       

                                     

                                     

So if you're just roaming around Manila and looking for sweet escape from reality, I highly suggest you visit this dessert haven at Slice High Street Taguig. 

Have a great weekend!!

A letter to August

Dear August, 

Your first day stroke me with a bad dream. 

A cyclic dream that symbolizes of my sleepless nights. 

It's already 3:00 am and still can't fall asleep. 

You left me with nothing to count, as you took all my sheep.

Before you came, I talk alot to July and said that I've always wanted to skip you and runaway.

But since June, genie went on a holiday.

What to do, what can I do when I know you're already here. 

Please don't get mad when I say that you're the month that breaks my heart into pieces. 

Whenever I ask you to let the two people dear to me give me warm hugs and kisses. 

What to say, what can I say when I know you will strike my eyes with your arrows.

Tears fall and crawl as I feel my sorrows.

Though you're obviously mean to me --still,you let me lick an ice cream to give me a hyped.

Then make my brain freeze for 20 seconds and let me somehow forget a bad dream.

                     

Dare to go Bare

Beauty isn't make up, yet it gives us confidence to feel pretty. So I wonder how about those girls who are not wearing make up, do they feel confident everytime they went out to public? 

People will stare and will notice your flaws ---a moment that will make feel anxious.

Acceptance and trying to be appealing to the mistaken preference of others is now the common reason why some women wear cosmetics. 

But we got it all wrong, acceptance of real beauty start on ourselves, you have to feel all secure with your own body. 

There's nothing wrong of putting your make up on because you have the prerogative to do so but what I'm saying with or without cosmetics "you are beautiful" and once you find it out, people will accept even you walk out to your door "Bare".

Meeting my good friends

Cooking isn't just something that we do in order to eat. It can be a great way of showing your love to the people.

Keep or Toss

Just like foods, make up have expirations dates too. 

Though Cosmetic companies aren't required to put expiration dates on beauty products, but a few brands list them anyway, so start by taking a look at the package. 

Don't see an expiration date listed on the package? Just follow these simple guidelines to help you figure out when it's time to toss your old beauty products and make up.

What I Learned in TFIOS (The Fault in Our Stars)

I was a kid when I was tantalized by stars; I believe that every falling star is a wishing well, that wherever I go it will follow me and I can’t escape from it. Some say future has already been written, destiny is destiny and stars can reveal it.

The Fault in Our Stars is pretty much the new “Love Story” and “The Notebook” of this generation. Both movie and the book have important messages about life, love, relationships and loss.

“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities”, Some life might not be that long but even in a finite number of days there’s an infinite number of possibilities.

None of us knows what might happen, even in the next minute but does it really matter? Would you mind spending your minute thinking of what might happen? Or would you mind making metaphorical marks in the world on how you want to be loved and remembered?

Losing the one you love is one most painful feeling; we can either live in oblivion or survive and come out stronger.

The Fault in Our Stars

Love Exist When You Believe

I believe in destiny, I believe in serendipity, I believe in love and more even I believe in happy endings.

It's my choice to believe what is worth believing in.
A choice to believe in you. You who wakes me up with a good morning text. A sweet thought that you was thinking about me all night and as the sun rises you say;

"Good Morning Beautiful."

We are friends because I believe that friendship makes the best romances. I'll be handling the phone and order the BFF McDonald bundles while you grab your keys to get us a large pizza for our movie nights. Laugh out Loud because of your dumb jokes. Falling asleep together in a couch because we are too tired to get up and go to each others bed. This is how you give me a feeling of never getting old.

I want you near me, hold your hand while on our way to a restaurant. Lean on your shoulder while acting like a crazy kid during our conversation inside the bus or we can be that couple who kiss while we're inside the train. Believing that public display of affection is my way of saying that it's only you that I can see and care about.

I believe in communication. A good- healthy communication we'll have today and in the future. I wouldn't guarantee that we won't be having a fight nor disagreements but as long as we respect and love each other we'll end up- where we should be. You asked me with a caring thought, "How was your day?" then I'll reply how great things work for me today, and what I felt while watching Miracle Cell No. 7. Then it's my turn to listen while you talk about your day and I wish I could be there with you because you said you had a bad day.

I believe that we are destined to cross each others path even though I wasn't looking for you. You are my serendipity, we'll fall in love the moment love comes unexpectedly. From that moment, I may start to believe on spending my whole life with you and create our own Happy Ending.

Faith

Make up will definitely make you pretty but only God can make you a BEAUTIFUL person.

Laziness is not an Excuse!

Everybody just got their lazy moments, I myself has some too. So what do I do when I'm lazy? i just throw myself inside the closet put on my shorts, wear my tank top, grab my blazer(which is optional) and lastly have my pair of sneakers on. Getting my point? Even the laziest girl(including myself) wants to feel Chic during dull moments but the key to rock the look is find an outfit that will make you comfortable throughout the day.

                                           

(Liz Claiborne blazer, highstreetmode tank top, Ombre shorts by Chemistry, Ralp Lauren Sneakers)

                      

A lot of you will agree if I say that Sneakers are crazy comfy, modern, fresh and super casual. It's like hitting two birds in one stone be chic yet be comfortable with this pairs.
