SUNSHINY

blog January 06, 2014

SUNNY START OF THE YEAR. I am opening this year with sunny outfit post. :) It's back to work today for all the offices, and the schools too, so even though I am still in the holiday mode, I had to get up and face the Monday morning traffic. I still can't believe how fast the days went by, like the holidays just zoomed past us.

2014 BUCKET LIST : NEW YORK , CANADA + SAVING UP

2014 January 03, 2014

GOING ON THE BUCKET LIST : New York for New Year's? Would really love to go back and experience the Ball Drop at Times Square! Maybe not this year yet (but, who knows? hahaha) but it's definitely going on my long term bucket list. :) I love traveling, and hope to be able to travel more this year. (CDO and Bangkok on this list for 2014!)

Aside from this, goal this year is to spend Christmas with the relatives in Canada. Excited to spend the holidays with my cousins and titos and titas, and excited to see and experience the snow! It'll be a white Christmas, a dream come true! :)

So what a better way to start the year by reflecting, settings your goals, and saving up for it! I am really determined to save up this year! Found a great way to do this, has anyone heard about the 52 week-money challenge? It's a money saving challenge where in you put aside a certain amount of money every week (or for professionals, add the amounts for two weeks and set it aside every payday). The amount varies per week, as it compounds, and adds up. :)

table from Kuripot Pinay (for more info on this, visit her site! lots of great tips!)

Think of that thing that you want to save up for (it'll make you more determined, and will give you that drive to save!) : a trip to your dream destination abroad (or local), your dream gadget, a shopping spree, investing in stocks, or just the satisfaction of having all that moolah in your account (good too for emergencies, for future expenses, or just keep on going so you'll have a head start on your future retirement fund. :) Just think of that 60K that you'll be having by the end of the year!

What a great way to start the year by aligning your goals and your finances, so that we can honor God through the way we handle our money this 2014. :)

Will probably start adding to this bucket list in the next weeks. Am thinking of all the stuff that I want to accomplish this year. I am super excited for 2014!

SPOT THE GOLD

blog October 16, 2013

I LOVE HOW WEARING SOMETHING GOLD can add a certain spark to your outfit. It adds a quiet but sophisticated warmth to your outfit. :)

SHOE LOVE : FLATS FROM SUELAS

blog October 03, 2013

SHOE LOVE! Was reading Patty Laurel's blog and saw these new styles from Suelas! Just had to post them here beacuse i soo liked them. :) The coolest thing about these is that you can easily fold them and bring them in your bag (when you change from your heels) or when travelling (hello different outfits with different shoes!) Will probably get myself a pair soon! :)

More styles at their website!

STYLISH AND COOL

blog October 02, 2013

IN HONOR OF THE 'BER' MONTHS here are some suggestions of how to tie a scarf. I find that it is just the right accessory to add to your outfit to keep you warm during the cool 'ber' months. It's stylish and it can add a little omph to your tops-stylish yet functional. And just think of all the cool ways you can wear your scarves-both printed or plain ones. :)

Happy styling!

TRAVEL DIARY : TSIM SHA TSUI CITY WALK

architecture September 30, 2013

THE VIEW OF THE SKYLINE. I loved our morning walk around the Tsim Sha Tsui area. While the guys were still hanging out in their hotel room, me and my close friend Elai took a walk around the city, and took advantage of this opportunity to take outfit shots! hehe. :)

STREET CHIC

blog September 23, 2013

HONGKONG STREETS. Before I go on with my kwentos about our Hongkong trip, here's an outfit post. :) I knew that it would be super hot (we were warned by our friend, so we brought "summer clothes". hehe), thus the top-shorts combo. I love these trusty rubber flats (which I go on and on about, and I seem to be always wearing these. hehe) they were super comfy, and I have to tell you that you really need good walking shoes when travelling. :) This is what I wore to day 2, Disneyland and walking along Victoria Harbor. :)

TURQUOISE ON A RAINY DAY

blog August 21, 2013

RAIN OR SHINE, friends will always be there for you. :) Cheesy as it is, it is true. I am just so thankful to have close friends who I can share everything with, even my innermost feelings and thoughts. :)

EASY BREEZY MODERN

architecture August 05, 2013

MODERN DESIGN. It's so fulfilling to see something that you've worked so hard on come to life. The Clubhouse we (our firm) did for an Avida project in Nuvali is already up and running, and is being used by the home owners and guests, and it's so nice to think that it turned out well. This, by far, is one of my favorite projects I've worked on.

VITRESS TO IMPRESS

blog August 01, 2013

STYLING STAPLE. I always carry around a bottle of Vitress in my bag, for instant shiny and relaxed hair.

I have naturally wavy hair, so sometimes it gets hard for me to fix and style it. When I tried Vitress, I could totally say that my hair had been treated to an instant hair spa, making it shiny and relaxed, not to mention smelling so nice. :) So I make it a point to put some Vitress in my hair to take away the frizziness. I even use it when I iron and style my hair to give it extra shine and protection. My fave is the Vitress Hair Repair Cuticle Coat.

Girls, if you love Vitress as much as I do, you're in for a treat! Vitress is launching their Vitress to Impress promo!

SUBTLE ELEGANCE

blog July 31, 2013

BEIGE AND STRIPES GO WELL TOGETHER. This is what I wore to the House of Design Event by One Mega Publishing. (see my post here.) I came from the office and had no time to dress up for the event, so I wore this dress instead (the material is a sheer cloth that is fit for dressy occasions) and threw on a gold statement necklace to glam up my look.

SLEEP AND FRIENDSHIP

blog July 29, 2013

MY DAILY DOSE OF THE GOOGLYGOOEYS. I love how the Google Gooeys illustrate cartoons that everyone can relate to. Who hasn't experienced the feeling of waking up but not wanting to get up? That's exactly what the past few days have been for me, so hard to get out of bed because of the super cozy weather, I actually think ~~fantasize~~ about sleeping in and going to work at a later time every morning. haha.

STYLE INSPIRATION : ATLANTIC-PACIFIC

Atlantic-Pacific July 23, 2013

Style Inspiration for this week is NY blogger Blair Eadie. I love the way she takes simple pieces and jazzes them up with accessories and shoes. She has a knack for putting together outfits that look sophisticated, even though its just a shirt and jeans.

HILLSONG YOUNG AND FREE : ALIVE

blog July 17, 2013

I love this song which is a new release from Hillsong's youth band Young and Free. :) it's not just about the music (which is soo nice by the way. Makes you want to dance and celebrate. haha). But the lyrics remind you of the unfailing love of God. :) And for those two reasons, it's fun to listen to it again and again.

I am excited, and am watching out for the rest of the songs in this album. :)

PS. I heard their album Glorious Ruins is good too! :)

SAME BUT DIFFERENT

blog July 17, 2013

SAME BUT DIFFERENT. I love plain tops with bold colors because I get to accessorize more and wear printed bottoms with it. Though I haven't tried wearing printed pants yet (which I would love to try, would I be able to pull it off? haha. ) because I'm so comfortable with jeans, the closest I've been to that is wearing a colored pair of pants. :) Plain tops also give you more freedom to style and mix and match, which is perfect if you have a limited budget. :)

GRACE IMMEASURABLE

blog July 11, 2013

GRACE IMMEASURABLE. We sometimes forget that we don't have to live our lives full of stress and worries. All we have to do is bask in God's grace, mercy and peace, knowing that all is right as long as you're holding on to Him and to His promises.

Today, be reminded of God's unconditional love - with this comes His immeasurable grace, His inexhaustible mercy, and His inexpressible peace. Now that's enough to get us through - whatever situation we're in.

Happy Thursday everyone! :)
