MEETING MY COUSIN AGAIN AFTER ALMOST 5 YEARS

How happy I was to be with my cousin again after almost five years!

My cousin is having a job training here in Manila for three weeks and I was excited to see her again that I offered to pick her (and her colleagues) up from the airport. Upon seeing her, the first thing I noticed is that she has grown taller. Way taller than me and she’s only 22 (I’m 26).

5 Reasons Why I Had a Great Shopping Experience with BeautyMNL + HAUL

We at BeautyMNL want you to feel your most beautiful. Every. Single. Day.

Filipina beauty is perhaps the most diverse in the world. We are a tribe of morenas, mestizas, and chinitas. Our hair falls in thick curls, gentle waves, or pin-straight sheets. Our smiles have made us famous in other countries, whether they’re framed by lips full or thin. No two Filipinas are alike—and that’s the most awesome thing about being one of us.

Our beauty doesn’t fit the mold—it breaks it. So it’s not hard to imagine why, in a world steeped in Photoshopped images and unattainable standards of perfection, it can be a challenge to appreciate our own look. And we know this, because we’re one of you, too! source:BeautyMNL


I’ve been seeing BeautyMNL on IG as people I follow often tag them but it never occurred to me to shopwith them before. That’s one of my regrets because it turned out, after shopping from their site; I had lots of reasons why I love them and that I should shop from them again soon.

They have a wide range of skincare and makeup products from cult favorites to local brands. I was also happy to see some Korean products from their shop. They also have accessories!

Here are the top 5 reasons why I had a great shopping experience with BeautyMNL:Read More »

Love > Distance: Together Again // Andy’s First Time Here in Manila

I’ve been with Andy for almost a week now and I’m so happy to be with him again after being away from each other for the past 9 months. Looking back, I feel like it’s so far away. All the waiting and video calls. It was hard. I miss him terribly everyday.

But here we are! Together again! A week longer than our Taiwan trip 9 months ago as he’ll stay here in Manila for 21 days. Yep, he’s here in Manila for the first time! ❤

Below is a daily record of what we’ve been up to:

February 22nd. Andy’s first day here in Manila! Because I went to the doctor first that morning, he waited for me at the airport for almost 45 minutes and he’s complaining about the heat here already. Haha! I was soooo happy seeing him. 😍 Waited for 9 months to finally hug him again! Read More »

The Happy List // January 2017

Happy February to you all!
The month that I’ve been waiting for is finally here! Why? It’s because I’ll be with Andy again. For those who do not know, I’m in a long distance relationship. Nine months ago, we met for the first time in Taiwan and we had an amazing 14 days together. This February, he’ll visit me here in the Philippines and I’m so excited! ❤

Anyway, this January, I had a lot of fun memories – big and small. I’m so glad January flew by smoothly leaving me things to be happy and thankful about.Read More »

WP’s shenanigans

Hi guys! 🙂
Feels like it had been a looong time since I last posted here, but the truth is it’s only 3 days ago. Hehe!
Anyway, I’ve been experiencing issues with my newly updated WordPress app — all the blogs I followed were deleted and my app won’t save changes every time I edit my drafts. 😦
After I updated my WordPress app in the latest version, this happened…

But I’m following everyone back. But I just can’t finish it in one day because I’m getting blocked from time to time.

The sun is out | OOTD

As I have mentioned in my previous post, I spent a day with my friend and part of it was taking photos. Today, I’ll finally share them here in my blog. 🙂 After a week of rain, the sun finally came out. It was both a sunny and windy day which I really love. ❤ Wore this mustard colored blouse and floral skirt, and matched with a shoulder bag and nude flats. A very simple outfit, really. Heh! 🙂
