How's your weekend?

Join my on-going giveaway:

I will start my post with a quote from Alexander McQueen:

 "It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."

What’s my fashion statement? Well I think, for me fashion is being comfortable in what you wear. As long as I love and enjoy what I wear, I don’t care what people may think. My style would depends on the weather, my mood or whatever I would see on my closet. I am a layback person. I dress for comfort. I love wearing dresses, shorts, skirts and leggings. I am not a fan of jeans. Haha We have a love-hate relationship. Why? Because every time I gain extra pounds, my thighs would complain about my jeans. Haha (sikip sikip daw sabi ng pata ko or in English, my thighs are getting fat, I need to start working out or cut some carbs again) So that’s why I enjoy dresses and leggings more often. If only, it is always cold in our country or if we have winter, I will have a lot of fun layering clothes. Too bad, we could only wear summer clothes for several months. But if I will stay in an air-conditioned room for the whole day, there is a chance of a little action of layering. Moreover, I can’t classify my fashion statement, one day I am a rocker chic, tomorrow I can be sophisticated and classy or the next day might be boohoo chic. I am experimental and adventurous. I don’t want to be labeled.

What are you waiting for? Time to shop for new outfits for 2013.I am starting mine now. Leggo!

I have been blogging since Tabulas days. I have never taken it seriously until 2011 or 2012 arrived. Last year opened a lot of doors in my blogging career (Ano daw? Haha Career talaga? Hahaha). I also encountered some personal problems. You know life, she always bombards us with challenges to help us grow and make adulthood thrilling.

A screenshot from our video chat, before his operation. He was in the hospital that time. :)

Moreover, the start of 2012 was something to remember, my hunny got sick and he undergone major operation. His gallbladder burst and poof! It became coco crunch. Haha Kidding. I don’t know how to explain it with the medical terms, basta his gallbladder was removed. So here I am, best supporting girlfriend. I am so caring and lavin. Haha Anyways, thinking of the things I did last year is so hard. I have amnesia. I am amnesia girl. Hahaha Wait... Let me think.

Remember my old blog layout?

So here it is a recap. Last year, I finally gave in and made an account on Lookbook and Twitter. I got addicted to twitter and got a blackberry from globe. Then, I revamp the layout of my blog. It increased my blog’s page views. I bought a domain name. It gave me more opportunities on blogging like exchange links, paid post, Zalora brand ambassador, product reviews, freebies, collaborations, sponsorship and affiliates. I am so glad and very thankful for trusting me and becoming a part of my blogging experience.

He is our stress reliever and really became part of our la familia. Of course!

Hello everyone! I am back to blogging. I was in a hiatus for a week or almost 2 weeks. I thought it was like months.hahaha I’ve already missed blogging stuffs already. I have a long list of backlogs. Yes! As always, I have a lot of it. I was supposed to blog during the Christmas and New Year vacation unfortunately, I was a little not feeling well. I have been sneezing, coughing and my nose keeps on running away from me. Jk I mean runny nose. Then, on the New Year’s Eve or I think the day before it, I don’t have any appetite. I felt throwing up all the food I was eating or pooping it. Hihi SShhh.. I have diarrhea, I think. I don’t have any I idea where it came from. Someone told me, I might have hard time digesting the food in my stomach. I was so sad, you want to know why? Because our Media Noche will always have the best food in town, due to the not-so-good-feeling I hesitate to eat too much. (tikim tikim lang hihi) I am thankful that I felt good while waiting for 2013 to come. The next day, I have the worse feeling again. Boo-hu-hu! I was on a sick leave for my first day of work. I kept on praying, drinking getoride, eating less and I feel good now! Wooot! Thank you Lord. 

Enough of my sickness during the holidays, it is time for the things I did during the vacay! Too much photos! Ready? Set-Go!




The stuff I got from my secret santa in our office. The final gift was a book, "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. I finished reading it during the New Year's Eve. I will post a book review for it soon. Stay tuned.




The main event of 2013. The first day of  the year. Celebrate it with a feast. Nom nom nom. My mom ordered lechon. I am still sick but who cares. The reason of the revolution in my stomach for the next day. haha


My uncle ready to chopped it all of! I will say sorry for all the vegans out there. Just enjoying the season of holidays. hihi

I spent my vacation with my family as always. I am thankful for everything. God is really good. He will never let us down.

My vacation was for relaxation and quality time with my love ones. I am glad I have a chance to do it amidst of the busy life in the corporate world. I am hoping 2013 will help me follow my dreams and achieve my goals in life.

To be continued... My year end post will be next... :)
