Hey everyone! We're about to bid goodbye to September and say hello to October. Cliché as it may seem but yes time flies so fast… Few more days err weeks and holiday season is here…

Holiday Season! The season of giving… I bet most of us is going to shop for outfits, decors and gifts to wrap for our love ones. As for me every year the list goes longer because every year I have lots of friends getting hitched and turned parents. This means new god-children’s who will knock on the door asked for Christmas presents! :D

Make a list.

Online Shopping.

Happy Tuesday! 

First of all I wanna send my warmest gratitude for the birthday wishes and greetings. Im as well glad that a lot of you like my turtle neck top and maxi skirt outfit. ^_^
On today's post I am sharing my outfit from last weeks event. The Samsung Happy Home Roadshow which happened at Limketkai Center. It was such a unique event because they did a drama showcasing newest Samsung appliances.
Now back to the outfit, this is such a comfy casual dress. I love clothes with rayon fabric because its flowy and flattering works best in our tropical country. Also if you have been reading my blog for a while now, you may notice the kind of prints on my clothes; aztec and jacquards. This prints really attracts me easily.
Notice my not so lovely hair? I seriously need a visit at the salon. I am thinking of changing my hair color and cutting it short but having troubles on what style.
Do you have any hairstyle suggestion that will suits me best?

Happy weekend everyone!

Just celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday. Since few days ago until now I'm having mixed emotions... I didn't expect I'd feel this way. This must be what they say 30th blues... One more birthday and I'm out of the calendar... :D 

I usually don't make fuss on my birthdays, in fact I don't celebrate it. Growing up, I have never ever experience having a birthday party, most of the time this day just past by like most ordinary days. I appreciate few people who remember this day without any notifications from Facebook. Call it overacting but its the main reason I turned off my Facebook birthday notification so that I will know who genuinely remembers me on this day. Since I turned it off I did see a big difference, only a handful remembers my birthday. Only the closest of the closest, even the relatives and friends whom I've expected to remember didn't remember until they see others greeted me. Yes I know, I am such a sentimental person. ^_^

Anyways, on to my outfit... I am wearing my fave turtle neck top. I just love the cloth of this top which matches very well with my new maxi skirt from LightintheBox.com. This combo just scream comfort!
I have been eyeing this maxi skirt for quite a long time already from other online store but only this time I finally have it. It was so worth it. Its not thick and not too thin, very flowy and comfortable. 

Tip: Its sold in one size only and its a bit too tight on my waistline, I'm size 28 by the way. So just a heads up to anyone interested on this skirt. 

The aztec duffle bag is my another new fave. I bought it at SM Department Store at a sale price last month.  I really like it because I can put everything on it. Perfect when I work outside coz my 15" laptop fits on it. 

Lastly, the dream catcher necklace... I bought it when we went to Bohol last summer.

What do you think about this look?

Fabulous Wednesday everyone! How was midweek so far?

Today Im sharing some of my favorite styles at the Kasalan 2015 Fashion Show that happened just last weekend. I didnt actually witness this fashion show but got a glimpse of the beautiful collections that was showcase in the fashion show through a photographer friend in Facebook.

Kenneth Anito's styles are so edgy and modern. I really love it! If im going to wear his collection I probably feel like I run the world. :D

On the other hand, I like Zoe Botwin's tame sexiness style. Talking about love affair with floral, high-lows and maxi skirts that definitely attracts me immediately... 

What I like on designer Mark Magallanes gown is that its simple and elegant looking. I also love the details on the gown.

What do you think of this styles?  Do you have any fave among them?

When we traveled to Cebu previously, we stayed at Mango Park Hotel.

First off, we commissioned the hotel to pick us at the airport and updated them the estimated arrival time in Cebu but they unfortunately arrived super late at the airport for the usual reason... traffic. This is a big deal to me that time, because our flight have lots of setback that when we arrive in Cebu we're very tired and hungry already. Good thing when we arrive the hotel's costumer service is good and the ambiance is relaxing.
Our room was the standard room costing Php1,850.00 per night. 

I like it that the hotel is very accessible to malls like Ayala Terraces as well as known tourist spots like Basilica Del Santo Nino, Taoist Temple.

Hotel guest lobby... So welcoming!

 The view the window of our room.

The room is complete with flat screen TV (with 25 Channels of skycable provider), Hair blower dryer, Safety vault, electric heater, cup and saucer (with complementary set of coffee, sugar and cream), bottled water, bath towel, shampoo and body soap, sets of dental kit.
There's a Filipino Restaurant (Lighthouse Restaurant) and a fastfood (Jollibee) near the hotel.
They offer free breakfast. Just be early so you can catch more options. I love that they have a variety of options on the breakfast. Cereals, waffles, salad, fruits and heavy meals like rice, hotdog, egg, fried potato and many more.
Even though our room is facing the road, you can't hear the vehicles outside.

Dislike:
No night lamps. So its either sleep with no lights or full lights on.
Phone seems to be not working.
Water in the bathroom takes time to drain. So when you shower its like your flooded.
The bathrooms has no cold/hot showers.
I'm not satisfied with the wifi because its hard to connect even if they had routers on every floor.
The railings at the rooftop is not safe. So better watch out for the kids if your go there with them.
The pool at the rooftop is so deep for children, around 5 feet as they say. So if your bringing kids and they will use the pool parental guidance is strictly advice. (Dislike coz I dont know how to swim. ^_^)

Overall it was a good stay and will probably still comeback because the location is great. I will recommend!

Hello Thursday!

One day more and its finally weekend. Today is of those days that I am feeling lazy. I have a lot of cravings foodtrip, window shopping, grocery and so many activities... Yet here I am, in front of the computer and stuck in my chair. Still finishing tasks at work which took too long to finish even if its the simpliest one... Dont you just hate days like this?! (>.<)
How do you cope up when you feel lazy? Would love to hear from you...

Now on to the outfit. Here's another attempt to wear crop top. This time Im showcasing my nowhere-to-be-find abs. :D And then paired it with a denim jumper shorts to cover my belly.

What do you think of this outfit?

#FlashbackFriday when my hair is brown and Im sporting a bangs.

Today I am sharing some throwback outfit I was not able to blog...

I wore this during my son's graduation ceremony.

Remembering what happen on that day makes me laugh at myself... On how I was still able to take outfit shots.  Which by the way was taken by my son (Excuse the proud mom spazzing. :D).

I was actually not feeling well on this day, so un-timely for my stomach spasms to attack. I really thought I wont be able to make it because when times like this that my stomach spasm happens I need to stay at home and rest. Not to mention on that day its the worst coz I had several trips to the bathroom. 

However, watching the excited face of my son turned into a worried face, then into a sad face after discovering I am not feeling well, gives me strength to feel better as soon as possible. 

Thank God for an answered prayer, felt a bit better. And we were able to attend the ceremony. After that we went home, rested for awhile and has manage to grabbed a dinner celebration at a restaurant nearby.

Being a single mom may not be easy.... You need to be strong and a fighter all the time. You need to be a positive thinker all the time, to attract positive things and miracles specially on days like this that your child's happiness is at stake. However, its all worth it and rewarding when you see your child grow up to be happy, kind, caring and educated. 

So much for a sentimental way of ending the week...

Enjoy the weekend!
