"DRESS CODE: Skirts and dresses that are more than two inches above the knee are not allowed!"  UGH! That's probably the worst news I've ever heard since I started my practice teaching.  I instantly began to worry coz most of my skirts won't get me past security. And I tell you, I am not planning on buying maxis, jumpsuits and palazzo pants for the remaining...

I used to be an impulsive buyer when it comes to black apparels. You can always see that twinkle in my eyes when I see one. It seems that whatever the design is, as long as it is black, it'll never fail to impress me. Funny thing is, every time I see a design I like, I always look for its black counterpart...

"Promdi" is a term that refers to someone who was born in the province and has lived there for a long time. Filipinos from the countryside are often made fun of when they first arrive in a big city. If someone is unable to pronounce the letter “f” and instead uses the “p” sound, he or she will be labeled a "promdi". It is taken from the English phrase, 'FROM...

What do you think would you be doing on a blackout in a place where there is no cellular network connection? Does a place like that even exist? Hmm..  I am currently taking my long awaited staycation in my hometown. Staying in the city can be tiring at times; for me at least. Some of you might really love the city and I...

It's gonna be the li'l dude's birthday in a week and we haven't decided on what to do yet. We were torn between having a party at home or spending it on the beach or a pool. After a few days of deciding, we thought that, for for a sixteen-year-old, the house party might be boring especially because we are situated in an area that's not very...

Summer is just around the corner. Yay!!! But not everyone is happy about it, unfortunately.  It may come as a surprise to you and you might be like, ' What?  Who on earth hates the vacation season?' But you never know. Wait 'til you live in a country experiencing El Niño, where the scorching heat can squeeze the water out of you 'til...

Sunny days. Ooh, it feels like I'm gonna take a dip in crystal-clear blue waters anytime soon. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?  I still have to wait for a few more weeks before summer vacation (too bad). Some might say that it's not really summer yet but I (strongly) beg to disagree. Have you been outside and felt that scorching heat? Have you seen the social...

I have been fascinated with the nostalgic sense of prim vintage pieces for the longest time. Not just with the refined and reserved-type dresses, but I’m also drawn to those elegant and tasteful stoned pieces of jewelry which are archetypal to the dramatically bulky modern accessories. That has been the reason why, from having stunningly bright and colored outfit collections way back, I...

Do you wish to have a cute room but don't want to spend a lot? Don't fret because you actually can. I am the kind of person who loves designing anything but don't wanna spend a lot on it. So I always end up doing all the work and using any materials that I already have or those that I can buy at...

I have shared how my room at our permanent residence looked like. I think that was my very first post here. Since I started college, I'm spending most of my time in a room I'm renting in the city. Ironically, it's bigger than my room in the province, so a girl can't complain. And that's the reason why I ultimately love this place....

I was buying raw materials for another room make-over that I was planning when luckily I stumbled on a superb idea. I was planning on buying more black and white twigs to fill the jar that my roommate made and designed for her school project. Also on my list are a couple of dried vine parts; I'm not really sure what these vines...

I like chic pieces when it's a faddishly popular trend? I'm a very girly type of person that my friends think I'm too gay. And I must admit,  I think I am. In everything I have, I'm always inclined to incorporate a little bit of flair to it. But I'll let you in on a secret, sometimes I do go overboard. But don't...

I love Pink. My room is Pink, my phone is Pink, heck, my notebook is even Pink. If its not Pink, I vigorously find ways to turn it Pink. I hope you don't think I'm crazy.  I realize that Pink is more like a teenagers choice and I'm 7 years past my teen years but who cares? Theres no rulebook anywhere that says...
