In a couple of hours its already Christmas and I just first want to greet you girls a very Merry Christmas!  I hope you are done shopping and preparing for your Christmas feast later and possibly you are planning up how you are going to end your year. I might have a good suggestion for you - Vizio Bar in Quezon City. Know more about the latest addition to a great night life experience after the jump!

Hello ladies! Christmas is about a couple of days away and I am super excited for it! Mainly because I like Christmas and secondly its just weeks away before I turn 25!  Some are excited for Christmas just because of the myriads of parties and get together that flock the metro - Personally I feel swamped just by looking at my planner of all the gigs and parties I will be attending (and hosting) soon! I will definitely tell you all about that in my other post.  Since it is Christmas time I know that most of you are also slumped with ideas what to give to your co-workers, pamangkins , friends and our love ones so I will be sharing to you some gift ideas that you can buy for those special people in your life.  source To you coffee buddy at work: A Self Stirring mug. I am a coffee addict. I really am, and during Christmas the most common gift I get is a mug. I know that its passe to give a mug to your coffee lover friend but give it a little twist by giving them

Hey lovelies!  I haven't blogged in a while. I know.. pretty lame. I've just been busy with everything especially for my upcoming meet and greet this weekend! I'm not really sure if I will push that through since I haven't had a head count of who will attend.  It won't be as spectacular or anything, just a simple meet and greet so I will be able to meet you awesome ladies that read my blog and also watch my videos. I'm thinking of doing like an on the spot make over but I don't know yet..I'm undecided to tell you girls honestly.  And here's also another reason why I am blogging today. I am looking for models to build up my portfolio. I will be studying make up artistry soon, although I already know the basics I would definitely love to study more on the said field possibly doing this as a profession as well.  You girls know I love make up and I love doing make overs so if you have friends that would like to be prettified this Chris

Growing up, a lot of my girl friends ask me why am I so fair skinned. Some of them even joke on asking me if I could share some of it. Kidding aside I know that  Over the years, the deep-rooted perception of having a fair skin tone has defined the norms of the Filipina beauty. But as lifestyle and behavior evolve, women with fair-looking skin came to realize that no whitening product could effectively work, if the skin is not healthy. Their desires and needs have therefore shifted to achieve not just fair skin, but skin that is healthy and radiant-looking. It is with a game-changing route that the world’s number 1 skincare brand, NIVEA, comes out with its newest innovation that will set the benchmark of going beyond fair skin. The first concentrated and potent body serum that addresses the top 3 skin concerns of Filipinas - skin whitening, skin protection, and most importantly, skin repair – while at the same time, effectively moisturizes the skin. Now available in the market, the

I've always been asked what do I think about the blogging community in general here in the Philippines. In all honesty, I am friends with most bloggers, youtubers, and personalities in different niches alike but aside from that I don't really like dishing out the things that happen beyond the events, videos, and other social networks because that is not really my business. But with all the issues that is arising I think I need to take a stand into this. I will not side with anyone in the issues regarding this since I am only an observer and I am just stating what I've seen so here goes.  1. 'Stealing of Ideas' If you know the people involved with this issue, you would probably know when this has started. The main source of this is from a blog post saying that another personality stole her friend's idea and then after that their 'feud' has become more apparent.  I don't want to judge since I haven't heard the WHOLE story, but I

Hey lovelies! happy Saturday! I hope you are having a great Saturday so far.  Usually I don't like using lipglosses since they don't last long and the pigmentation doesn't really show up if I would opt for one.  Luckily while I was browsing through the interweb I saw a review from Shen's Addiction about this and thought about giving it a try just for fun. 

Last November 16 2013 I went to my first ever Blogapalooza 2013. One word I would describe to it? AWESOME! I never really thought that blogging and businesses can come hand in hand to be able to reach consumers - boy was I wrong. In a nutshell, event basically a collective gathering from both companies and bloggers to meet and share their products to bloggers to share on their blogs. This event is also a way for bloggers to present themselves are 'social media experts' to help these companies get noticed and also meet other bloggers!

As we are getting old, signs of it will show. Kind of harsh don't you think? especially if you are the type that likes to stay up late when you were younger *ahem*  my 19 year old self...sigh.. I am not getting younger, but I would prefer to look like I am still in my early twenties or maybe when I was in my teen! oh those were the days...those were the days... One clear sign of it is my under eye circles. When I was younger, I didn't really notice them, but nowadays I've been noticing that they are getting darker than usual. me at 20... Wish there was a product that can make my under eyes look like they were before right?? Well there is! Garnier's BB eye roll on!

Hey Ladies! Happy Monday!  Sorry I've been MIA for a while...I don't know why but I feel a bit lost lately. But I will try to be back on loop this week with new posts! and now lets get started shall we?

Last Friday, November 8, 2013 The Visayas region and the Southern part of Luzon was hit with a Category 5 cyclone named Haiyan or Yolanda.  I live in Manila but I felt the strong winds of the cyclone here in Manila on my way home that Friday night, then a question came to my mind:   If the winds hitting Manila are strong it must be at least 4 times stronger in the areas affected right?  source: Philstar.com Then the answer came to me, and it had hit me hard to the gut.  The devastation Yolanda left to the people of Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Tacloban and other provinces in the Visayas. I have relatives that lived in Samar, Leyte, and even Tacloban so I was quite concerned with them as well.  source: http://www.gmanetwork.com As of this posting, I've heard that most of my relatives (In my mother's side) are safe, some of them have fled before the cyclone reached their area - but unfortunately they don't have homes to go back to because their hom

Hello ladies! Happy Wednesday!  Its a humpback Wednesday but I don't really feel awful about it...I don't know why though..  So this is the FINAL challenge of the 30 days Kpop challenge. If you have been following it, you would probably know how I miserably failed this challenge. I wasn't able to update it as much as I can since I have been doing a lot of things.  It really sucks. I know!  But still I am thankful for those that have supported me on this challenge. To think about it, I wouldn't have done it much without you guys! and to that this challenge is dedicated to YOU!  Now let's get on this challenge shall we?  DAY 30:  You're All-Time Favorite Kpop Song:  I have loved this song ever since I first heard it at Pop's In Seoul. wwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy back then I was glued to the television since Arirang TV was the only Korean channel in our cable. I love this song mainly for the message of it. Even if I haven

Hello! Sorry I'm doing a back to back. I forgot I was supposed to post day 28 first. ugh getting old .... But I hope you ladies understand.  I feel a little weird today for some reason. I don't know why but I have this weird feeling something great is going to happen. eh.. not sure though..  Let's begin with today's challenge shall we?  Day 28:  A Song that has a Music Video you dance along with:  I mainly dance to this song purely because of the shuffling. I am not a good dancer but I am a good shuffler. I can shuffle with slippers, sneakers even with heels on! but you can never really stand me do dance.  I am well coordinated but when I dance, it just doesn't look good. I don't know why.  But whenever I dance to this song, I just feel good about it.  Parang nagbubunot lang ang peg LOL I really like this song from T-ara and I think they make great dance tracks so this is one of my top picks.  That's i

Hey! How's your Tuesday so far?  M i ne? eehhhh ... can't r eally decide i f its a good one or a bad one. Good sin ce most of my students are nice today bad because..I have students that I wan t to sma sh in to little fragments - I have vi olen t tendencies when I am p ushed to my limit. Luckily I am still able to keep my cool .  And I am super excited to tell you g irls that I have an instagram account! I am quite late I know but I am s till ecstati c about the idea of tak ing pi ctures . Vlogging is nice but taking pictu res is just a way to make up for the lost moments on my vl ogs don't you think?  Oh yea h please foll o w me! My instagram name is alicemate :)  Now let's get on with today's challenge shall we?  Day 29:  Your Favor ite Song Right Now: Ugh...can I have a top 3 instead? JUST KID DING!  I ma inly love this song simply for the rhythm. It has an o ld vi be to it that mostly I don't hear in the songs I lis ten to lately.

  Hey ladies!  I am back with a new post!  Le t's get on with the challenge shall we? Day 27 : A song that has a music video that you really like.  I like 2ne1's Space version of the song ' Fire '.  T he main re ason why I like d it is because of its futuristi c feel. The set is quite simple but the camera work was un deni ably good. As a MassComm graduate, I really had a fa scination with videography and also the art of making great videos just by the angles and how the camera is places.  I like also the costumes that 2ne1 wore in the music video, its simple but it screams LOOK AT ME BITCHES! haha! I like it nonetheless because I know I won't be able to wear them EVEN if I slim down to Bom's body size.  That's it for today's challenge! I hope you girls like it.  For questions, suggestions or if you want to scream your butt off go right ahead. And if you are going to scream profanities at the comments section using anony

Hello ladies!  I know that al most everyone is having a hard time coping up with the e ffect of Yoland a las t weekend, Even my youtube friends that are based in the US are affected by it because they don't know what is the update with the areas that were affected by the sai d cal amity.  In relation s to that, I will be doing a make up sale soon on some of my make up pro ducts and 100% o f the pro cee ds to the said sale wi ll be d onated to the vic t ims of typhoon Yoland a.

B ut for now let's get started with to day's Kpop challe nge shall we? Day 26:  A song that has a Music Video you can relate to .    I can relate to Ail ee's song 'H

Hey lovelies! How is your Thursday so far?  Work is not really stressful today but I hate the issues that I've been s eeing lately. Don't you e ver feel disgusted when someone fails to do their job and does not even take responsibility f or it? Oh boy..I will just sha re my thoughts on this on my alter e go later but now let's just go with today's c hallenge shall we?  Day 25: A Love Song   I w o u ld say it would be Big Bang's Haru Haru. The lyrics say so. Check out the video below.      The title means Day by Day in English but for some reason saying it in Korean sounds so much better don't you think?
