December.
It’s that time of the year when everyone hurls and swirls, panicking to buy some flattering dress and getting that shade of lipstick that would make them look younger.  It’s the time of reunions.  High school reunions, family reunions, company Christmas parties etc.
What do your peers remember of you? 
You know it!  You like it when they say you look as young as ever don’t you?  Trust me, from someone who doesn’t want to celebrate birthdays anymore (that’s me) because that scale of my life is going nowhere but up.
I used to be annoyed when people would think I’m still in high school.  Now that I’m counting towards the end of the calendar (my age that is), I’m actually kinda flattered!
Don’t you want to look better than you did back then?
 
It’s so […]

Hotel Review: Azalea Residences in Baguio

Posted: November 30th, 2012 | No Comments »

Baguio is gifted with 16°C to 26°C temperature which is the mildest in the Philippines and the reason it’s so jam-packed during summer and holiday season making the entire City at panic state most especially to hotels. Since Azalea Residences is a relatively new hotel in Baguio which just opened February 2011, staying here would […]

Downloading Memories and Letting Go

Posted: November 30th, 2012 | No Comments »

It all started with Friendster. I remember I was in first year high school when my cousin Gabriel asked me to sign up for a Friendster account so I can give him a ‘testimonial’. At our young age, we were already addicted to the internet. I spent hours browsing forums and Yahoo Groups to exchange […]

I just love movies!  Lately, I’ve opened my horizon to watching international films that are worth watching.  It’s very interesting to see the differences in humor, love, art etc on different cultures and what better way to experience it than to watch the movies they present.
If you don’t know about CinemaWorld yet, it is an international channel that offers mainstream programming that is fresh, unique and different.  Different from the usual movies we see locally, in the US and UK.  We get to see a whole lot more.  It provides movie lovers a variety of titles which they cannot find anywhere else.  All movies on CinemaWorld are shown in their original language with English subtitiles.
Did I mention that I’m currently studying French?
Well, it is great practice to watch a French movie […]

Fulfill a lifelong dream and swim with bottle-nose dolphins. Spend time learning about these intelligent creatures before swimming with them, making an awesome experience for everyone that joins. Enjoy the “footpush”, when two dolphins push you along by the base of your feet – absolutely unforgettable. Although a cheap Mexico holiday could just involve sun […]

Nosebleed. Again.
I’m sick. I think I have either the flu or cold. It gets worse because I have sinusitis, rhinitis .. You name it.
So my nose bled again. Probably from too much snorting.
Random thoughts crossed my mind like:
– ooh, that’s how red my blood is
– amazing!
– why is our blood red?
– why can’t it be pink? Or purple? Or white?
– Then again I recalled someone said that blood only becomes red when in contact with oxygen. Is that true?
On another note. My nose bleeding just stopped while I’m typing this over my Blackberry. I’m lucky my blood clots fast and my wounds heal quick. But then again, could that mean I’m prone to aneurysm? Hello Hannah!?! I’m just being paranoid.
Anyway, don’t mind me and my […]

I’ve heard much buzz about the river-side residence area about to rise in Mandaluyong area (near Makati) – Acqua Private Residences development under Century Properties.  A great thing about living in Mandaluyong, is that it’s pretty much at the center of everything: Makati, The Fort, Pasig, Mania and even QC is accessible.  

 
It is pretty exciting as Century Properties is currently starting to build the 5th tower called “Acqua Iguazu.”  The word Iguazu was inspired after the Iguazu Falls located in the area where Brazil and Argentina converge.  Iguazu also translates to “Big Water” and this is indeed is the inspiration behind the Iguazu Tower that seats right beside the Pasig river.  If you come to think of it, overlooking the Pasig river is quite a pretty sight.  I once lived in a […]

I’ve heard cool things about Coloud headphones! I’ve been geeing out on their Marvel-designed headphones! Their regular design for headphones can’t be ignored too because they are simple yet it has a flashy twist. (Check out the photos below, but read first!)
Design aside, I want to review different Coloud headphones based on their performance too.

 
Packaging
The packaging is quite appealing at a triangular shaped plastic box.  This should give you what the headset in its totallity would look like.  You could choose from a plethora of colors: Green, Pink, Purple, Dark, Light and Bright colors.
 
Audio performance
For its price, it performs okay. I tested it on my iPod and my mobile phone. For someone who likes heavy bass to the point where it squeezes your heartbeat then this […]

In continuation of Ueno Park and Zoo Part I Those people who wore mask were sick with cold or cough. It is to prevent bacteria or virus spread to other people. I wish Filipino people are like that as we are known to be brutal in public sneezing and coughing without covering our nose or […]

While getting my hair “did” yesterday, I had a conversation with the hair stylist.  She said she loves her children, but she no longer could buy the things she want for herself. Made me think, “I am so not ready to have children.”  But it also made me think if I forever don’t want a child at all… then I thought, if I won’t have a child in the future, what did I live for. It’s like, I’m gonna die (duh, aren’t we all?) – but this time ETERNALLY. wala lang just random thoughts before I sleep.

EEHHRRRMEGRRRD!
This week has been a great expression of pole in my life.
 
Big Shift VIE & VAULT Amateur Night 2012
I haven’t been attending proper classes at the Polecats studio since I have been busy with work and travel.  I pole at home from time to time, when I can.
I had a crazy decision to join an amateur pole competition 3 days before the final deadline.  I AM CRAZY!  People have been telling me I’m crazy for my decisions, but they were all decisions that came from my heart (yes also with a lot of logic and thinking but my heart always wins).
Creating a choreo for pole from scratch was a very tasking job!  For the song choice, I just decided to use “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys the first time I […]
