Isn't it amazing when you get your nails done? I actually love getting my nails done because its relaxing and also getting your nails done is a way to energize yourself.  One place I would like to recommend is the Vitamin Sea Package of Nailaholics. 

Don't deny this - Perfectly groomed brows and long, lush lashes changes your life. Its a fact.  But where do you go to get these? I would definitely suggest Ooh La lash in Glorietta 2. 

One of the country's premier salon for its bespoke cuts and style, Vivere Salon has opened its 10th branch in Glorietta, Makati City last September 23.

Its no joke that I am 27 years old and I am now getting pressured by my relatives to be in a relationship.  And this is probably one of the blog posts that I am dying to share to my relatives both here in Manila and abroad to finally answer the coveted question: Alice, Why are you not in a relationship? I get asked this question so many times I may answer while still writing an article and watching a Korean drama!  So to my relatives and everyone who is interested please read this article to know the 3 reasons why I am not in a relationship... at the moment.  1. I prefer career advancement than a relationship status.  Being a 27 year old single woman, I have tons of time in my hands to be my own boss. I am currently focused on being a blogger and youtube content creator because I love what I am doing. It might not pay as much as when I was working in an office but it makes me happy and I want to be happier with my job right now.  And se...

What happens if you combine two of my favorite things to watch - Korean and Zombie movies would probably be a mind blowing experience to me. I was actually planning on doing a Kpop Friday on this but then again - its not entirely something that is only in Korea so its a movie review instead. 

Sometimes buying beauty products online can be a bit of confusing situation for some - especially if you are a beginner at this playing field. So having an online retail store that sells beauty products that has been in the market for almost a decade is a blessing for us beauty junkies such as Beauty Magnet! As a registered company that has been operating since 2007, Beauty Magnet has built a reputation not just here in the Philippines but also internationally of selling authentic but also great quality health and beauty products for Pinays around the world.

It has been raining for the past few days. And it reminds me of the days I was a kid and my parents don't usually allow me to play in the rain because I had a weak immune system as a kid. I can't blame them because they know if I play in the rain the next few hours will be high fevers and a doctor's appointment. Luckily now that I am quite older I can do what I want which also means playing in the rain.  But seriously I won't just play in the rain anymore at my age - I'd rather party in the rain!  And I think I have a plan already by the end of the month for one - Hydro Manila Music Festival. 

I seriously come off as obnoxious or sarcastic OR snobby sometimes in person which is weird because I'm not!  The reason why I am sharing this to you internet friends is because I need your feedback about this - do I really sound like that in my posts?  Here is a situation I will share to you guys which just happened the other day:  Me and some friends were hanging out in Maginhawa then all of a sudden a random guy approached our table to talk to me. I am the kind of person that will entertain and talk to you but if I am not interested I will try to dismiss you and let you on your way faster than a McDonald's employee in the cashier - my time and yours don't want to be wasted more in frivolous talk so please spare us both the agony and get on with your life! So this guy randomly talks to me and asks me if I do photography since he saw my camera in our table, I told him yes I do but only as a hobby.  He then just talks and talks endlessly on how I...

Over the weekend I had a meltdown.  I had a meltdown for not being good enough anymore.  Which means I had hit the wall of uncreativity. And it frustrates me.  Maybe due to the pressure from my mom (and other people) to get a desk job or  being broke, or the pressure of being "not good enough" to other people just made my brain shut down for a day.  And I was also sick so it made me feel worst than ever.  That day made me question why am I even writing in the first place if people don't recognize it right? It made me think that I am not good enough to be a blogger anymore because I'm getting to be too 'generic' like the others.  I spent the whole day just laying in bed and just crying that even my mom got concerned because she thought I was getting worst with my fever.  After crying out for several hours, I got the courage to get up and read something. And sure enough scrolling through reddit and 9gags made me realiz...

One of things I am absolutely scared of is the dark. I feel that there is something or someone looking at me so even the thought of being in a dark room gives me the goosebumps.  Also the most unlucky part of my personality as a Capricorn is if you put me in a scenario in which a person's life (role play or real life) is in my hands and I didn't do something or anything that can save them would be the burden of me - for eternity.  CAUTION!!! This post is probably going to be the longest experience post I will ever make to date so be prepared. Go get your favorite tea, coffee, soda or maybe all of the above and get some snacks because I will tell you my experience trying out BreakOut Philippine's latest room called 'Hush'. And also there might be some profanity in the experience part just to let you know that K?

This might be the first time I will say that in all the weddings I have attended this is the first time I became a bridesmaid.  I'm a freakin' bridesmaid guys!!! First and foremost I will say that it is deeply an honor to be part of this event. The bride is actually one of my closest friends that I consider my sister so when she told me that she wants me to be one of her bridesmaids I felt overjoyed.  I did encounter some problems in the process because of financial constraints. The gown to be exact. But thankfully I was able to rent a gown for about 700 pesos that comes with free alterations in Marikina City. You can check the info about that on my vlog channel. One of the things that I learned in this experience is that you need to be ready like a girl scout on the day of the wedding. Make sure to expect the unexpected. Which I didn't prepare myself for The theme of the wedding is Royal Blue and Silver. So our gowns have to match the color ...

For most people, Fridays are reserved to kicking back and relaxing because its been a hard week - even for me!  And usually if you ask me what I will be doing on a Friday night, I might say usually its a Korean drama binge with a facial mask on (oo na! napaka boring ko! wag na magwala) but sometimes I put some twist to it by going out with friends and I can recommend why not hang out with Comedy Cartel if you prefer just a laid back time and a few laughs on the side.         Comedy Cartel is a group of people that practice stand up comedy in the Philippines. And they are the first of its kind in the country. If you want to watch legit stand up comedy I will recommend you to check out Comedy Cartel.  I was able to hang out with them about a week ago in BGC since they had an open mic night. It was a good experience because I was stressing out that week so hanging out with them and hearing them with their jokes is such a relief. ...

Hey girls I am back! I have been doing a lot of studying and applying so I haven't been updating you guys but I would like to share this event I attended recently. I went to the book launch of FOBolous. 

For all the adrenaline junkies out there you might want to check out Royal Enfield as they opened their first exclusive store in the Philippines! As being the fastest growing motorcycle brand in the world today, Royal Enfield has opened their first exclusive store in Manila recently. Located at  7462 Bagtikan Street, San Antonio Village, Makati City, Metro Manila, the 972 Sq.Ft. showroom was launched as part of its growth strategy in the South East Asia Region. This store has been set up by the Hardcore Brothers Custom Motorcycles Inc.  If you noticed the whole store is not like a typical store that showcases their items but also a meeting point for other motorcycling enthusiasts. The store has a full set of items from Royal Enfield motorcycles and gear that actually got me a bit excited since recently my brother has given me the opportunity to learn how to use his motorcycle. If you haven't seen a Royal Enfield motorcycle you really ha...

What is a Female Heart? Is it simply as it was said? Does it mean more?  That is actually the questions in my head when I was able to see the media preview of Linda Faigao's The Female Heart that UP Playwright staged from July 1 to July 10 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Also being the directional debut of Banaue Miclat-Janssen  of UPPT which is also her silver year in the theater industry.  Premise:  Set in the late 1980's the play follows Adelfa (played by Chase Salazar) and her elder brother Anghel's (Played by Al Gatmaitan) struggle as resident of the infamous mountain of garbage popularly known as Smokey Mountain. Confronted by extreme poverty and her brother's ailing health, Adelfa agrees to become a mail-order bride in the United States.  This play shows the reality of life's tragedies which will awaken the spectator's about the vividness of pain and despair, but also our...

This is the second part when I went to Sta. Rosa Laguna...AND unfortunately on this part my camera started acting up, thus I don't have my own pictures. I will be crediting those I got these pictures from. Annnnnnnnd I am back with another experience post! ( It sounds so sexual please forgive me. ) After touring Valenza, me and my blogger friends went to Vista Mall Sta. Rosa to watch a movie. It was the sequel of Now You See Me.

Being in my age, saving for the future had been engraved in my head and the first thing I want to have is a property with my name on it.  Having my own house is certainly something that what I want to have in the future so I am looking into properties that I might like to buy a property. And one of the the places I am looking into is Crown Asia's Valenza in Sta. Rosa Laguna. 

If you girls have been following me on my Instagram account (Which I hope you are) You would have probably seen me flooding your feed with posts from Jollibee's #PinoyAndProud celebration countdown last June 11.  And to be honest I am still not over it. So here is a low down on the happenings on that night that I wasn't able to tell you girls. As being the nation's number one fastfood chain, Jollibee threw the biggest and star-studded Independence Day celebration last June 11 at the Metrotent in Pasig City. This event brought together world-class Pinoy talents for a grand salubong  of the 118th anniversary of our national independence.

Jollibee's celebrity endorsers J...

Hey lovelies! I am back with a new review! And again this is A continuation of my review from my YouTube channel.  There are days that my skin looks dull and it is not a good look and usually at would mean I need some exfoliating or a mask done and I found something really  interesting which is iWhite Korea's 2 minute miracle whitening mask.     This is 24.50pesos at Watsons and its main claim is the mask can give the skin lighter and brighter skin in 2 minutes. It can also diminish blemish marks such as acne marks with its ingredients and control excessive oiliness while still keeping the skin moisturized.  Some of its active ingredients are  - Limonia Acidissima -Lonicera Caprifolium extract  - Bambusa vulgaris leaf extract  - aloe vera leaf extract These are the ingredients that will help the skin achieve that lighter and brighter skin within 2 minutes. I actually find pronouncing the first three ingredient...
