Alice Does Blogs

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?

Really sorry ladies but just check out the video.  If you do have any questions please don't hesitate commenting below :)  Much Love!  xx Alice 

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 becau...

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...

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....

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 ...

  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 usin...

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? Make sure to check back for more posts! Much Love! xx Alice

Hello lovelies!  I have a confession to make: I detest false eye lashes. I really do!  One thing I don't like when I do make up tutorials is a need to apply false eye lashes or falsies. I know its kind of a requirement since it enhances the eyes a lot if you want it to be the focal point of your look, but I just find it really unnecessary. Call me lame but I just don't prefer applying it on myself.  But luckily, I was able to find a product that makes your lashes look like your wearing lashes! its Maybelline's The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara.

Hello ladies! I am back with another challenge. My brain activity is slowly depleting because of the myriad of back logs I have to do so please excuse if my use of words would be a little short than the usual. Let's begin! Day 24: A Happy Song This one is quite easy since I have a lot at mind. But I think the one that stands out the most is TVXQ's Balloon. I like the concept the video and also the playfulness of the members of TVXQ before they disband. That's it for today's post! If you have any question just comment below k? Much Love! xx Alice 

Hey ladies! sorry late update AGAIN...its just been pretty busy lately so I wasn't able to update this challenge.. I will be updating more this week since this is the last set of questions for the challenge. I have failed miserably! ahhhhh!!! Let's go to today's challenge shall we? Day 23: A Sad Song: I don't really prefer sad songs since most sad Kpop song I know reminds me of a painful memory that sometimes I press next before the first part begins. But to this one I think the song Fiction by B2ST would suit best. If you watch the music video, you would probably see why its a sad song for me. That's it! I will be posting more in a few minutes make sure to check back :D Much Love! Alice
