Everyday It Will Rain

While the other side of the world is enjoying the heat of summer sunshine, we, the people of the Philippines, have been quite under the weather for a few days now. I've learned my lesson, 3 yrs in Manila has taught me that preparing for the rainy days is not a joke AND will never be a joke when you're in Manila. Before...

Give Me Boots, Get Me Boys

I promised myself that 2013 was supposed to be my year for financial wellness, I guess I'd have to move it to 2014. Ugh! Not because of all the unnecessary purchases, but, well, uhm, yeah. The unnecessary purchases are part of it too, but I also moved to a different apartment so that's another thing. If you also follow me on Twitter/Instagram, I...

Talk And Talk Is Not Just Talk

I started gaining and maintaining weight some two odd and awful years ago. I wasn't in my best and I must admit, shedding off the extra pounds are grueling! I'm still in the process of doing so, currently following a 7-day diet plan plus I'm also into boxing and jogging. Yay to fitness! I actually didn't like how I look in photos, or...

These Boots Are Made For Walking

Ola! How's the holiday treating you so far? I'm off work until Monday and all I've been doing is sleep, eat, blog and check online stores! I know, I know. It's not the time to spend because I don't have any money to spend! Plus, I'm moving out next week so I need the extra cash, y'know. Nowadays, I satisfy myself by looking...

I See Shades of Black

When Forever 21 stormed Manila, the lines were horribly long and waiting was awfully unbearable. I didn't experience any of that though, I made sure I visit the store when the 'fad' wasn't anymore. For my first F21 purchase, I bought a cropped top with a weird Madonna design on it. I don't really know why I bought it, I guess because it was cheap...

I Think I Want To Marry You

Marriage is something I'm very excited about, yes, at this age and time right? Pfft. But yes, I'm excited even if there's no certainty that it's going to happen. My overly conservative Mom who I love dearly, don't get me wrong, was proposing I get married this year since the boyfriend and I sleep together most of the time.,I'm like, what? Just because...

I Can Be Body Beautiful at Any Age with Wacoal

I'm flat-chested. There, I said it. I guess regardless if I say it or not, it'd be obvious anyway. You're probably wondering why I keep talking about my flattering (no pun intended) boobies, it's because I want to discuss how difficult it is to look for the perfect brassiere at this age. Why this age you wonder? Because I'm starting to gain weight...

Let's Get Physical!

For a lazy person like me, staying fit has always been a problem since I started my journey in the corporate world. When I was in High School and College, being petite wasn't an issue at all. No matter how much I ate, I would always have the same weight. Things started to change when I started working. I had 'love handles', my...

There's a Solemate for Everyone

I haven't indulged myself into shopping for a few months now for I was saving up for an air condition for my room in the province. Also, whenever I go into malls and I feel like spending, I would mostly buy appliances, furnitures and linens. Lol. I don't know, I feel old doing that but I also feel great especially when my Mom would approve...

My Lips Like Sugar

Hey guys! How have you been doing? The boyfriend got into an accident yesterday, I had to skip work so I can take care of him. We were also staying at home when the accident happened so we can't really travel to the metro. His foot injury looks a bit okay now but he still needs some rest. I acted as his nurse...

Pumped Up Kicks

A couple of weeks ago while shopping for my sister's school supplies, I can't help but notice a wide array of shoes that were lined up in this department store that we were in. I was looking for a pair of flats for the rainy season, probably plastic ones but chanced upon these lovely babies.  ...

Who Wears These Shoes?

I've been wanting to go on a shopping spree since March but haven't had time and MONEY to do so for I bought a new camera. Even if I sold my old camera I still had to shell out more for the new camera I was lusting for. April and May were a no-no as well because I used up all my funds...

Hey, I Put Some New Shoes On

They say you can never have so many of two things, good friends and shoes. I'd have to agree to that. I have running shoes, hiking shoes, stilettos, pumps, boots, wedges and of course flats.  Most guys would prefer ladies in high heels because it gives grace to one's posture (if you're wearing them the right way), adds height and of course, makes you...
