2019 Maningning Miclat Poetry Awards Hails its Newest Batch of Literary Winners.


Last September 24, I was invited by my good friend to see the awarding of winners of this year's Maningning Miclat Poetry Awards at the Escaler Hall at Ateneo de Manila University.

I was quite surprised because its a small event but brimming with literary geniuses. I would admit that I felt like a fish out of the water in the experience because its the first time I was able to attend this kind of event a.k.a. shunga moment ni ate girl nyo.

There were only two winners for this year because unfortunately no one submitted a Mandarin poetry piece this year.


 I learned a lot about Maningning Miclat which is a young person that had a lot of talent not just in writing but also in painting in different mediums. Sadly she is not with us anymore but this didn't faltered her friends and family to establish the Maningning Miclat Art Foundation Inc. which aimed to encourage other young artists to continue their craft and celebrate their greatness.

One of the highlights is the poetry reading from Prof. Gemino Abad for the English Poetry Category and Prof. Michael Coroza for the Filipino Poetry Category.


Congratulations to all the winners! I hope that there will be more that will join this competition in the future to showcase how talented young Filipinos are in the literary world.

Much Love
- ALice

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
