Looking Back At My Facebook Journey

Today, I am sharing with you my Facebook Movie made by Mark Zuckerberg and his team in Facebook. The video is all about the highlights in my 4 years on Facebook. Technically, I started Facebook 5 years ago but I created a new Facebook account to separate work and personal updates. And yes, the reason I signed-up for a Facebook account before was for work. Until some friends and relatives from the past and the present started adding me on Facebook that I find it hard to mix work updates and personal updates.

I could see that the highlights in the video was base on the most liked, most commented and probably the most viral photos and status post. Most viral means that a lot of people saw that update, probably because of the friends that are tagged on the photos or post and the comments in the post.

After watching the video there's only one thing that describes my journey in Facebook... Friendship. My video is all about the friends that I've reunited, met, gone and stayed...

Happy 10th Birthday Facebook!

Have you seen your Facebook movie too? How was it?

DALLAVAGS

My friends from college invited me for a Christmas party. It was a karaoke night since the party was held at Willsbar KTV. This gathering dont usually happen since lately everyone has been busy with each career and family, infact 2 are missing out because they are not in town.

This probably one of my few appearance on every events Dallavags has. Ever since before I have always been the "bee", jumping from one group to another group of friends. I could say I have lots of barkada's and they all stick together as time goes by while as for me I'm still flying everywhere. I more often miss out a lot so when I came in my usual reaction and response was "Really? I didn't know that?".



December is also the birthday of 2 of our barkada's Carol and Red so opted to celebrate it also. I even joked that in 2014 Christmas party should be celebrated in September so I can have my birthday cake too. hehe



I was so busy on that day that I really taught I couldn't make it. And since I had so many things to do, I opted for an outfit that is comfortable and casual. This probably my usual get-up lately, top with blazer and a shorts.

Theme of the Year: #TryNewThings2014

This photo is from Bianca Gonzales instagram. She shared this article that she wrote for December 2013 Editor's Note for Meg Magazine. I find this more attainable and exciting instead of making a New Year's resolutions.

I was thinking of #Focus2014 to be my theme of the year but then I also like #TryNewThings2014. I ended choosing the later because I need to break away with some things in the past... Lets just say I tend to focus on certain things so much which most of the time gave me heartaches and not good feelings in the end. So this year as much as I want to focus on a to different aspects in my life I think I need to change some of it first before I will focus on it. And besides, Ive been dealing with diverting my attention to different aspects in my life that until now still unsuccessful. Guess this is a sign... ^_^

And so I will #TryNewThings2014!

What will your theme this year be?

2014 Blog Wishlist

What I want to achieve for my blog this 2014...

1. Blog more. Last year, I have so many things to blog for but was lazy to even just update pictures of it.

2. Find a "photographer". Since I started fashion blogging I realized it was not easy when your in this journey alone. You need to have supporters and paparazzi. :D Other fashion bloggers got their boyfriend, sibling and assistant who took their outfits shots. Sadly, I got none of the mentioned person. Hopefully I can have someone who will take my outfit shots this year. If you have the same dilemma I'm open for collaboration just message me!;)

3. Own a tripod. An alternative for number 2 is the tripod. Some fashion bloggers took their outfit shots with their tripod so why not try it right?

4. Video blogging. I have lots of videos stored in my external hard drive. It's probably not to late to edit and share them. And yes hopefully capture more and share it here in my blog. :)

5. Master photography. Last year, I manage to get some items in my wishlist one of which is a DSLR camera. This year I should make use of it and enhance my photography skills.

6. Plan! I'm not a planner type of person. I tried buying a planner before but it all ended in my drawer... Dusted and bored to death with no plans written on it. This year will yet again try to be a planner bit by bit until I'll get use to it. I didn't buy a planner notebook for myself but a blogger friend gave one as a gift. Now I have another reason to really use it. ^_^

7. Travel places. So I can use my planner! haha I should seriously try this to gave my life a different scenario. Will start with nearby places maybe in Cagayan de Oro and hopefully if budget permits go national and then international. (*crossing fingers*)

8.Share more. Until now Im still searching for reasons and trying to bring back my enthusiasm to blogging. I really can't figure out why it took me so long to find that enthusiasm in sharing things in my blog. Hopefully, this year I can share more in my blog with the help ofcourse of my "photographer", tripod, planner and travel experiences.

9. Companion. All this things I listed would be much more fun and possible if I have a companion who'll support my crazy adventures. It doesn't have to be a boyfriend (though I'm praying for one.. :P) but whoever who is willing to share their time with me.

10. Go out! I shouldn't just work in my home office, or dining room table. I should take my laptop to the mall, or coffee shop once a week or so.

Camille Co for Olay Conversations #OlayProudofmyAge

I saw this video of Boy Abunda interviewing fashion blogger Camille Co for Olay Conversations. Just taught of sharing this because I like thought of the interview in connection to blogging ofcourse. I do like and strongly agree with Camille when she said "that there's no wrong way of blogging. It's supposed to be really personal for you." If your blogging for the purpose of sharing what's your passionate about and sharing your personal experiences then its possible there are no rules in it. It can be sharing personal fashion, hobbies, sports, food, travels and more. And as Camille said "Its your blog, its your page, your own voice."

Watch the video interview to find out more...

Productive Monday!

First of, I want to invite everyone to watch the Music, Fashion & Tradition. A fund raising event of Santo Antonio de Padua Parish. The event will happen this coming August 2, 2013, Friday at 7:00PM at the Barangay Nazareth Gym. The ticket is sold at P100.00 that will help in the church renovation.

Today has been a productive Monday so far. And even though I didn't have much of a fun weekend because I was working the whole weekend. I am glad that didn't gave any effect on another busy Monday. I call this productive also because I was able to accomplish things Im not used in doing so. And that is being online all the time. I was able to finish my first accomplishment without any distraction. Yeeba! Im learning on getting focus on one task at hand slowly...  No more multi-tasking. ^_^

Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon Secret Wedding

June 9, 2013 - Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon had there private wedding ceremony. I just cant help but blog about this because while watching the video it got me teary-eyed.

Maricar and Richard : Secret Wedding from Mayad Studios on Vimeo.

• Maricar's wedding gown is stunningly elegant. The design is so perfect on her simple personality.


• I also like the wedding venue, very enchanting and dreamy. Very intimate!


• I will not forget the black theme wedding cake. That is so nice.


• Kudos to Mayad Studios for the great video. For capturing the best part of the wedding specially that messages from the friends and the priest.I simply love their wedding vows.

Ako kaya when ikakasal? Will I ever meet my chinito-hearted husband? lol Kahit hindi chinito basta ba someone who will love me, understand me, cares for me  and accepts all the good and bad in me more than anything. Can't wait for that day I will also walk down the aisle with my groom waiting for me at the altar. Sigh! Pero tama na day dreaming coz its still a long way to go for me. I dont have a boyfriend so I need to find myself one first before daydreaming of my dream wedding. ^_^

The Unplanned Birthday Surprise

Last March 9, 2013 was the birthday of one of my recently close friend - Jenjacqs. I have actually planned a week before on how to treat her on that day but some unexpected things happened. And yes as usual planning and me are not good friends so what was originally planned doesnt transpired.

So let me take you how the day was still memorable and made Jacqs happy.

Our dinner the night before her birthday... the yummy bulalo. I have the pic of our busy kusinero of the night but im sure Macky will not like me uploading it for some secret reasons. hehehe Thank you Earl for the Bulalo and adobo, your not just the master photographer but your also the master chef!

Forgive me for the "best" quality picture because we were already hungry this is the only photo I got... (Ug Nagpicture pako?! :P)

Depress...

I just don't know what's the reason why I am so depress lately. And because of this feeling Im so sensitive that im afraid to interact with friends. This mood of mine is so hard to comprehend that Im afraid friends would misinterpret this feeling. I just wish I had someone who knows and understand me better than myself... But for now will just entertain myself. I wanted to go shopping but i dont have extra money to spend... So I need to remedy this depression with food and hopefully it will ease a bit.
For a start... Super late brunch at Classic Savory, mixed seafood with broccoli.


Who knows what am I gonna eat next. Or I'll probably watch a movie on cinema. Hmmm... will see...
