Everything Halloween

Image
Happy Halloween girls!  Since today is the start of the Halloween season I have been thinking of what do be for Halloween.  I actually don't dress up that much since I wasn't accustomed in celebrating this with my family, but what the hey haha!  I remember last year I was a rabbit since I like rabbits. I practically wore rabbit ears and the large front teeth and had a carrot in my hand the whole time. Too bad though I don't have a picture of this.  When I was still working for a call center, there was an incident in the other account that there was like a zombie outbreak there. The agents in that account were dead serious about wearing costumes and even playing their parts during their breaks. I was terrorized by one agent there that was really creepy. He kept following me to my station, AS IF I was scared! LOL  Since last night I watched Paranormal Activity 2 and also Magandang Gabi Bayan's Kababalaghan. If you grew up in the Philippines in the 90's you woul

Image

It was said that the concept of what the girls would look like in their new album is more mature.  Can't wait for their comeback!  Much Love!  -- Alice

Series: My Favorite Youtuber/ blogger - SayTiocoArtillero

Image
from say's blog Ola!  I haven't done this series in a long time so I guess I'd better bring it back for you girls! :)  For today's post would be about no other than  SAY TIOCO ARTILLERO!  ^^, I've actually subscribed to this girl for quite some time now and I like how she has changed. On her first videos her usual background would be her room and her only light source is natural lighting, I could notice since I know where the light was from back then haha! but her videos are great! But enough about that! I was actually shocked to know that she has a blog and I subscribed to her to know more about her. Talk about staker-ish mode LOL.  The thing I like about her is that she always looks so polished. I actually saw her one time in UST, but I wasn't able to greet her because I was with a friend and we were in hurry. And when I saw her I was like OMG she is tall! haha! I'm 5'3" so even if you are 5'5" I would say you're tall LOL. I

Fashion Trend: Satchel Bags

Image
credits to lookshoplist.com I have been seeing this bag almost everywhere I go.  One of the girls I follow just bought one of this, its Say :)  I honestly am a lover of bags but I don't really follow the trends with bags that much because I have my own preference in choosing a bag. I like spacious bags that is unique. As far as I remember, the trend before was the longchamp bag. My mom actually owns one of those before, or something similar to the longchamp. I had a cambrige satchel bag when I was a kid. My satchel bag before was in black. It was very simple and sleek. I actually loved it because it makes me look really sophisticated. The only thing I hate though about that bag is the limited space. I was in fifth grade I think when my mom gave me that bag. It was really small and I could only use that bag when we are having periodical exams which just requires us to bring our reviewers, a pen and an extra pad of paper.  I like the design of the satchel bag now, its more

Kpop Friday: SNSD's Boys

Image
picture from Allkpop.com Do you like SNSD? I do!  I like them but not to the point of being a fan girl. Recent news I've heard of them is about their comeback and how their new video entitled "Boys" have garnered more than 2 million views on Youtube.  They have a more solid base that other girl groups in Korea since they have expanded to Europe. I remember watching TVN's coverage of SM Entertainment's concert in Paris.  I haven't seen the video of this song yet but I'll sure listen to it soon!  That's my post on K-pop Friday!  Its a little shorter than what I normally post. I'll make it up next time :) Much Love!  -- Alice

BELLE DE JOUR event ^^,

Image
Ola! Last Sunday I was able to attend the Belle de Jour event on Eastwood. I came around 3pm in which I dreaded to be late, but since its not really a bloggers only event I just made the most out of it haha!  When I got there I was greeted by a very long line to the entrance. I think it took me 20 minutes just to get to the table. I was given a BDJ passport which actually entitles you to some perks from the event. There were freebies from products like EH and also Carbtrim. There were also games from the ministry of waxing. The theme for this 2012 is to take flight. It was more of the traveling side and also being organized. I was able to see what the planner looked like in their Facebook page and I was so excited to get one.  I was more excited with the talks that were on going in the event. I got assigned to Carelle Lee Mangaliag's talk which is about confidence and how to have the drive to move on in life. I was really inspired with her talk and I actually scored a book! h

BPI Big Outlet and Travel Sale + EPIC FAIL MOMENT

Image
 I am a big shopping addict - when I have the money haha! But I was so thankful when I got invites for the Big BPI outlet and travel sale last Saturday, October 16 on Megatent. Of course after the event on City Kart Racing, I went here and checked some stuff. And when I got there I saw a bunch of stuff that are so cheap that I literally just looked at it with awe. They were up to 90% off! There were different brands that were on sale. There were also online sellers that were there but I was unable to ask a lot because they had a lot of customers. I was checking out some items that I can buy. There were these cute stuff that were on sale. They were accessories made of shells that are priced at 150 each! usually at malls they would be around 350 or so. I was supposed to buy them but when I checked my wallet... I forgot to bring my credit card and also my extra cash!  TOTAL. EPIC. FAIL. MOMENT!!!! NOTE TO SELF: ALWAYS BRING MONEY! T_T But any who I had fun looking and chec

Karting at City Kart Racing

I have always dreamed of driving my own car, or maybe just driving. I thought driving was easy, I was wrong haha! 

My jam-packed weekend

Image
Last Saturday and Sunday I was in a lot of events. It was amazing because I was able to meet new people, see new places and also have new experiences I can look back.  I'll just do a summary in this post. I will be more detailed on the next ones ok?  First off is last Saturday, October 15, I actually woke up uber early for an event at City Kart Racing. I just thought that it was going to be a showcase of their facilities and also an exhibition from professional drivers. When I got there it was a whole lot more. I actually had a lot of fun in the event. Unfortunately on that day I was suppose to attend the Bloggers Congress at DLSU but I wasn't able to go because of the City Kart Racing event. But any who I'm sure I will be able to attend the Bloggers Congress next time.  Then on October 16, that was the BDJ or Belle de jour event on Eastwood. I usually go to Eastwood if I just want to roam around and see some cool things I can buy. Honestly I had fun on the event, but

K-pop Friday: Huh Gak

Image
picture from asianpopcorn.com If you watch Superstar K you would probably know this guy.  His name is Huh Gak and he is the 2nd grand winner of Superstar K. The 2nd competition has actually ended last year and it is now in its 3rd season. When I was watching him perform, I was amazed because how can a small guy like him be all over the stage? I was astounded by his performance especially when he performed "You give love a bad name" I got goosebumps with his performance. One of his songs that I really like is 'Always' because his voice is just perfect for it. I haven't downloaded any songs this month because I have been lazy. Music lovers can get lazy too you know! LOL but above else this song has become a staple in my mp3 when I would like to be sentimental at times. Speaking of Superstar K be sure to watch it every week! The episodes I've seen are just the auditions which are a mix of shock and laughs from Lee Seung Chul's critiques. He is

Fashion Alert: Fall/Winter 2011 trends

Image
I know its another fall report and girls would be telling me  "Alice there is no fall or autumn and either winter season here in the Philippines!" I know that ladies but I think some of the things in these trends would still fit in our climate. Especially since it has been raining nowadays.  Here are the things that I've seen on Runways of Chanel, D&G and among others. I'm only going to feature 3 trends. Lets start! 1. Color   Since the weather is a bit colder you might thing that neutrals and reserve colors are in right...well not exactly. As to what I have seen brighter colors are on this season. From Betsey Johnson to Missoni brighter hues are in. Choose from crimson, neon orange, purple, sky blue and others bright hues to liven up your mood. 2. Chunky Knitted top If you are opting to be stylish and be comfortable at the same time go for a chunky knitted top. I've seen Missoni and Michael Kors with these on their collections and I absolute

Ola ladies! I have another review for y'all! I have been holding these products for a review because I have been busy so much but I promise this coming days I'll be posting in more as in more reviews! haha!

Product Review: Human Heart Nature All Natural Feminine Wash

Image
  Taking care of our feminine area is like next to taking care of our make up...That's what I think. I usually buy products that are not only good for our self but also good for our wallet.    I found it in this little bottle right here! ^^,   According to the website: F eel fresh as a summer breeze! Formulated to match the body's natural pH and enriched with aloe Vera and chamomile extracts to cleanse and freshen without irritating your sensitive skin.   Its consistency is a watery gel-like which is kind of different from the ones I've tried before. I can't really described the scent of it. But I like that it does not really harm our feminine area.    This product comes in a 50ml and a 200ml bottle. I got the 50ml as a gift from another blogger when I had my giveaway then.  What I like: - Really cheap! 50ml for 59.75 while the 200ml is 159.75 - Proudly Filipino made.  - Does not have icky or overwhelming scent.  - Does not have side effects on my feminine area.

Product Review: Sophie Paris Refreshing Mask in Green Tea and Apple

Image
  Ola Ladies!  It has been a while since I did a review post! I am just really jammed with work that I forgot to sit down and do these haha!  With all the stress, pollution and kinda (?) bad eating habits my skin had become dead. Usually I would apply my clay mask ONLY when I have a red bump I want to disappear. This one though is a peel off mask in which I have to wait say...15-20 minutes or up until it completely dries off then take it off.  I had one of these before but its from Japan. I can't remember the name because its been years since I last used that! LOL  But I'm definitely sure its not the same with Sophie Paris because it has more of a green scent than apple and tea. ^^,  I've used this for a couple of times now so here's my review What I like: 1. Does not have stinging sensation unlike my clay mask. 2. Had lessen whiteheads and blackheads 3. Gives a refreshing feel to the skin after you use it.  What I don't like: 1. The price - 155 for 60ml?  2.

batang gusgusin anonymous! LOL Okay before I begin speaking in a language I have been speaking since I was 8...YES PEOPLE I have been in contact with Beckys since I was a kid so speaking their language is really easy for me. I only speak minimal becky so that other people might still be able to understand me.    (Okay going back)   Before I begin, this post was inspired when me and Myrted of Love Skin Best were talking via twitter and I spoke to her in becky in like 70% of the time and she suggested this to me! so yah I did it. haha! madaling mauto sorry naman! choz! To my non-beki speaking or foreign friends I'm really sorry but the language translator would just confuse you if you translate this blog post. You just have to go to my other blogposts for your reading preference ok? so lets begin! nagsimula ako mag-ispluk ng becky nung 8 jers old si watashi. nuon witchels ako ideachina bout din. ay teh kaloka boomboom ako nung jinuturuan akechiwa ng 2nd mudra ko na bekibel

Kpop Fridays: Rain's enlistment to the army

Image
photo credits to allkpop.com When I first heard the news I was shocked because I thought Rain has already served in the army.  And now that I think about it. I have been a kpop fan girl for almost 10 years already! Me and Rain had something in common! Idol's Parallel Theory?!?! LOL  My mom is one of Rain's fans and she has been in a "denial stage" about it. Believe me, my mom is the type of person that is as stubborn as a rock when it comes to what she thinks. Now I know where my stubbornness came from! LOL  It was said his enlistment date is on the 11th of October and not really sure though where he will be assigned. *sigh*  He will be back after 2 years. I will be waiting for his comeback!  My message to Rain: You may not know me personally, but as a fan I really appreciate all your hard work to make every performance as perfect as possible. I wish you all the best in the army and keep safe always ok oppa?  ^^,  Now that I think about it, I have seen R

The Friendly Ladies at Ministop Pearl Drive

Image
Happy Friday Ladies!  I know you have been waiting for my weekly Kpop Friday post! Don't worry I will put it up in a bit.  But for now I will just commend these beautiful and pretty ladies over at Ministop Pearl Drive here in Ortigas!  I actually work near this establishment so I frequently visit this place to grab food or just check out things. I know its weird but who cares! Pft! But 'nuf said I am a regular here LOL  A while ago I went there to actually just pay my bills since they also process those. Of course being a curious bunny as I am I say this little card at the cash register and asked what its for. Its actually a promo that they have on their sundaes. If you want to know more about that you can go here So while they were helping other customers too, the girl who was processing my payment was really nice to tell me more and also chatted up with me. I wasn't in a hurry so its not really a biggie.  After I paid my bills I was suppose to head out when I saw

A girl can dream

Image
Ola ladies!  No the title isn't about unrequited love! LOL  I have been dreaming of getting this laptop for me and my videos. And also of course to use for my blog.  The price is so overwhelming I really wanna cry...NOT! LOL.  I want to own this mainly for the reason of my youtube videos. I like Imovie and its editing capabilities OH how I wish for one!  I hope someone would hear my prayers *cough KUYA cough*  LOL  No way my brother would buy me this! haha! But I have been nudging him to check this out. And I swear even if I have to clean his room to pay for it I will! HAHA! but seriously if that means not giving me any present for 2 years just for a laptop is okay for me. I have a 4 brothers and a sister. But there is only 1 sibling that I have been nudging to buy me this. And that is my kuya Alvin. We actually don't get along when we were younger. We just started to co-habit peacefully....wait ANO DAW!?!? LOL  Sorry for the tagalog words for my non-tagalog speaking

Trend Alert: Fall/Winter 2011-2012

Image
  Ola ladies!  Since I live in the Philippines, we don't have fall and winter. But we can still follow the trends right? haha! 'nuf said these are some of the trends that I have seen on runways and online as well. I am no expert in this area, so if there is some error please do forgive me okay? Lets start! radiant nude make up This is never out of the fall season if you ask me. This actually accentuates our natural beauty.  So its best to rock your natural beauty this fall. vampy and bloody lips I have seen vamp lips on almost all the make up videos I have been watching lately. I think vamp lips is a trend because of the weather and that seasonal change. I have tried this look before and honestly it made me look like all the colors in my face came right down to my lips. Its pretty funny if you think about it. Thick eyebrow natural beauty actually is the trend this fall so I think we can stop obsessing plucking or threading our brows thin for a change. ju

A Teacher's Life according to me

Image
credits to the owner Being a teacher is not just something that you get your income from, but more of a life-changing experience for you and your student.  I am a teacher - an online English teacher that is. I have learned to keep my cool when I have a very tough student.  I teach English to Koreans over the phone which doubles the stress because you won't be able to give them visuals other than the book that was given to them.  I can say there are times I hate my job, there are times that I appreciate it. I hate it in the sense that it seems my students are not even absorbing what I am trying to teach them. I have students that have a lot of determination in learning the English language, and I really love them for that. I may not see them but I make them feel that I appreciate their effort to study English.  I have one student that I really despised ( despised talaga teh? ) before because he would not even respond to me. I won't say his name in this blog. One day I

Design Change! Like it?

Ola!  I have been thinking of changing the design of my blog for some time now and I've finally decided to do that!  I really like the original layout but I decided I need to amp it up a bit. I added this posh background. I usually see this pattern on some videos I watch on youtube.  Please do let me know what you think of these design If its okay or not so I can try to look for more.  Much Love!  -- Alice

Too many phones? Not really! ^^,

Image
My phones is ARE like another part of my body that I cannot live without.  Besides from the usual call and text feature it has, 2 of my phones also have camera features which enables me to take good quality pictures. Most of those pictures are the ones that you see on my blog. Mostly that is the main factor when I look for a new phone. It has to have capabilities of a camera like the megapixels and also the resolution.  My most love phone is actually on the biggest one since it has a greater megapixel quality than my other flip phone. That phone is actually a DOCOMO phone which I only use for selcam (self camera) pictures.  What do you love about your phone?  Let me know on the comment box and I'll talk to you soon!

My Addictions: MTV's Awkward

Image
Happy Monday Ladies!  Have you ever felt like you did not fit in during high school and you just want the ground swallow you because it seems everything that you do is so embarrassing? That is what I felt when I was in high school. When I was in high school I did not fit in that much, I was just....there.  Besides my Jersey Shore - Yes I watch it even if its just a group of guys and girls that don't even make sense and would like to cuddle with everybody and just party all night, I have also been addicted to another show named Awkward.  From the title itself, you know its not just another program. This tackles the life of Jenna Hamilton who got into an accident which everyone thought she has suicidal tendencies. She was named "That Girl" which apparently she doesn't want to be defined the rest of her life.  The story is like any other teenage story, almost everyone goes through this - Even I did.  One thing though that separates me from Jenna's life is tha

Product Review: Clinique Derma White City Block

Image
Ola! This is my review of the Clinique Derma White city block. Before I begin with this review I would just like to say that I am not related to any product that I review and also opinions are based on my experiences, I am not forcing anyone to buy or not buy it. It is your choice to try it for yourself.  I believe this product was launched in the Philippines at around May 2011 but I was able to avail of this from Shen's Clinique Party.  I am very excited to try this when I got it because I need a good make up base for better make up application. So when I got this I immediately used this because I had so many events to go to and I need my make up to last on those event.  According to the Clinique consultant that assisted me, you can use this product as a make up base or just use it alone. And I thought " Like a BB cream? " YES! I am a K-pop fan girl and I have been eyeing those BB creams here in Manila but can't seem to buy them at the moment. Okay going off topi
