I know I should have updated this blog site for a while but I have been so busy I actually forgot this. It sucks because I want this platform to be a source of Information but since I have been busy I neglected this site.  To my avid readers - thank you for continuing the support and love you have given me, some of you even transferred to my youtube channel since I have updated that more than this!  To those that have asked that if I have transferred to youtube in making content - yes, but not entirely. I will still post here but currently I am trying to bring back my live for writing and not feel so toxic about writing.  I have also been missing in action because I got a new dog.  Meet Nikko a.k.a. sharky He is the source of my happiness now. Just like my other furbabies he is a total goof ball. He is a sweetheart too! Just look at his adorkable-ness (I know thats not a real word so shut up k? )  I have also been spending a lot of time with mudra so currentlu m...

I got sick. Its terrible. I thought it was just a common cold or something but it was not. I got broncho pneumonia AGAIN. YES. AGAIN. I experienced it back in 2010 when I overworked myself to the point I only get 2 hours of sleep when I was working in the BPO industry which also lead me to quitting that job because I was mentally and physically exhausted getting cursed for being incompetent by someone that lived on the other side of the world. But this time it was worse than the first one. I felt like my whole body was giving up on me that I lost a lot of energy to even move for more than five minutes at a time! I know it might be an exaggeration, but surely it was how I felt at that exact moment. The good thing about the experience is that I was able to enjoy the comforts of sleeping peacefully even though I felt my whole existence was about to end after every horrendous coughing fit. I was also able to experience amazing Korean soup from my Korean neighbor when she fo...

Yes. I know I am posting this a day after its supposed to. I can explain. It sounds weird but on the day of my birthday I had a mental breakdown. I was emotionally exhausted to the point that I just wanted to cry. Luckily, babe was there to calm me down because more and more my anxiety attacks become worse and worse. One of the things I am thankful was someone made an effort to make me feel my birthday was special besides from my immediate family - my TBDC family. They didn't really gave me the glitzy kind of party but just a simple dinner where we just spent hours upon hours of talking and catching up since I have been busy at the bakery last 2017. TBDC has been my second family. They loved me to the point that even if I screwed up they would just be there backing me up. Besides from my immediate family, my TBDC family showed me a whole new world ahead of me. They believed in my potential and made me a better person now. Thank you The Big Difference Communications for ...

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...

Hey guys! I am back! Sorry I have been M.I.A. or Missing in Action a lot that I am supposed to be. Its just I have been busy. busier than ever. Because besides from attending events and also filming new material on my main channel I have also been busy doing some work that involved me traveling and taking LOTS of pictures and videos. But I can't share them with you since it will be posted exclusively on a facebook page. I can show you the behind the scenes. 

In this era, you have to act a certain way to be accepted.  You have to wear the right clothes, walk a certain way, talk a certain way and basically just be a different version of yourself.  I have been judged about being loud, being boisterous and such. I admit, if you encounter me at some events there will be a 99.5% chance you noticed me because of how loud I am. I do admit of this because it is true. But if you tell me to keep it down I wouldn't take it personally because I know that. And I am terribly sorry.   Just like that I get judged of being a less educated person - by people who haven't even met and talked to me! I was once called off if I was able to finish college with my attitude My response: I graduated college because of this attitude.  I was called off several times not just for being loud but other things as well like for one is my figure. Most beauty bloggers are expected to look all dolled up and dressed to the nines. Think...

I know you guys would ask me this question: I know you do!  Being a blogger for somewhat 4 years seems such a short time but I have blogging longer than that.  I have been blogging for 10 years already! I first started a personal blog then at 2010 I started doing beauty reviews for the sheer fun of it.  I wasn't in the events - I didn't even know they existed!  Nor was the free stuff because I rarely get free stuff from brands before.  But here are some 10 things you might want to know if you want to be a blogger.  1. Learn how to write.  Writing is very simple they say. But you have to make an impact if you want to be a credible blogger. Make your posts very reliable and also something the reader can really relate to. Make it coherent for the reader to easily understand. You can use highfalutin words but make sure that at the end of the post the reader gets it.  2. Be Ready to be Judged.  Its very e...

Hello guys!  BER months have started and I know that with that being said most radio stations and establishments will start playing those Christmas songs that most people know.  Well here in the Philippines that is.     For me September is the start of the months where there are a lot of celebrations - Anniversaries, birthdays and even just partying till dawn.  There will be a lot in store as well in this page. For one there will be a HUGE giveaway in store for the ladies that read my blog.  I have finally got the mechanics done so expect it to be posted here and also on my other SNS within this week! And lastly I don't want to say September please be nice to me but  September bring on the awesomeness!  Have an awesome September ahead guys!  Much Love!  xx Alice

Philip Abadicio will be launching Fun with Philip in GMA News TV this month of August.  The show is basically a lifestyle show that aims to living life in style - no matter what circumstance you are in. I have watched this show and I could say that it is a very nice blend for both men an women.  With segments for women handled by Valeen Montenegro and for the guys' health and fitness segment handled by Bryan Lopez Santos.  I think a segment that this show has that other lifestyle show doesn't have is the segment 'Kwentuhang Kumot' celebrities would be interviewed under the sheet to reveal juicy untold stories.  They held an intimate dinner with some bloggers at Tambayan sa Kanto at the Podium in which they interacted with the bloggers and also gave away prizes!  Some of the prizes were a 10k GC and lots more!  Did I mention that they also served delicious food that night? It was definitely an awesome night to ...

About a month ago I attended a Bloggers night for Friendly Alliances and Media Expressions Publishings Inc.  The Bloggers night is all to introducing brands that promote healthy living and also among other, and also to introduce topics that may catch our attentions.  The event was packed with surprises for everyone to enjoy. Recognizing how influential and powerful bloggers are in the social media nowadays, FAME Inc. has once again hosted an event for bloggers at the Megaworld Showroom in McKinley Hill in Taguig last March 19.  Knowing how bloggers are one of the movers and shakers of the social media circuit we are more than just mere bloggers but more of influential people on the internet in our specific field. I was really thankful to be invited to this event.  The event was more of a glimpse of different products and companies that also think the same about bloggers. Some of the brands that were there were GrabTaxi, Goldiloc...

I have started attending events about two or three years ago. Mind you my first event was actually a beauty party. And from then on I attended blogger events for the fun of it.  You can say I am a 'veteran' per say but not really because of my weekday work schedule. But I have still been asked about certain things like what do you do on events and how do you act in it? There are different kinds of events and there is no specific guideline because you just have to go with the flow. But its still best to have some key pointers in attending events - just in case. 

Being a beauty blogger, we are expected to be all primped up and dolled up all through out the day. We are expected to look to the nines like as if we woke up with it.  I can't forget the first time a random girl I just met said to me "If your a beauty blogger why aren't you wearing make up now? " At first I was appalled, but didn't show it since I don't want to offend her too. But personally, I think people are expecting too much from beauty bloggers nowadays. They think that just because we blog about make up, make up how to's and also things related to it mean that we have to look the part as well - I don't think so honey.

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 ...

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!

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.

Bloggers and Business go together don't you think? That is one thing that I think since bloggers are more accessible than the traditional approach in getting your product noticed in the market - especially nowadays since people rely more on bloggers to know what products really do work without the sugar coating. That is why I am really happy to say that this coming November 16 there will be a Blogapalooza at SM Aura! Blogapalooza is a community. In which it serves as a link between big and small businesses who have something cool to share and also its an online community of people who love to share the information.  Blogapalooza is a blogger event on crack! if you think of it that way. There are lots of giveaways for the bloggers and online community and a chance for big and small businesses to present their product / brand / thingamajig to hundreds of influential bloggers and online social media influencers. Blogapalooza is also a way to network yourself to othe...

Happy Monday ladies!  I have been out of the loop for a while now because of some personal issues I need to settle, but don't worry it won't involve me leaving you guise! I just have to settle some plans I'm making about my next out of town trip and I need to make the necessary planning and logistics thing because I want everything to be okay when that day comes. Ugh just talking about it makes me want to cover up and say PLEASE MAKE IT MAY ALREADY!

Hey Girls! I'm really sorry I have been MIA-ing this couple of days with in terms of vLogging, blogging and updating my SNS (Social Networking Sites) It's just that I've been very busy with a lot of things in the personal aspects of my life.  This blog is also a part of my personal life since I share to you some things about what has been happening to me but I seriously don't want to jinx up my dating life.  Yes. You read that right, I am back to dating!  I actually haven't stopped dating but I just didn't put that as a priority in my life since family and friends, work, this blog and my youtube channel comes as to my top priorities. I just got back dating and I have been dating lately but it didn't work out so I moved on to the next one.  Ang landi lang! haha!  But quite honestly, I am like that when I'm seeing someone. You will know if they are serious or not just on the first date even if both of you have the jitters. I put...
