Crash Course on Make-up Application

Posted on Nov 12, 2011 12:56:14 PM

I am one of those people who can live without make-up. Though I am collecting various shades of lipstick ad would apply it once in a while, I am not very conscious on how I would look without make-up on. And spare me those thick foundation or make-up bases! Ugh. I’m afraid that they’d melt once I get out in the sun LOL

Today my sister will attend a crash course on make-up application in Mall of Asia and I so envy her. Between the two of us she’s the more kikay and has a lot of cosmetics I hope they’d give out eyelash growth enhancer techniques so she could teach me. I have short and straight eyelashes kasi.

Mayweather is a cheat!

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 08:09:48 AM

Yesterday was Mayweather’s fight versus Ortiz. Though I am not a boxing fan myself, I am well aware of any Boxing Week because every male specie at home are so fond of boxing.

Yesterday was not an exception. The whole family except me probably was glued to the television yesterday to watch the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight and all I heard from them was that Mayweather cheated. Oh well, he is indeed a cheat noting his words against Manny Pacquiao.

He’s nothing but a loser. Got no balls.

Star Magic Ball Red Carpet

Posted on Sep 4, 2011 03:41:49 AM

I am a Kapamilya but unfortunately, I don’t have the time to follow and stalk my favorite Kapamilya stars. Fine that I see them on TV, fine if I don’t. I am not one of those who spends lots of time watching every careful move of their favorite stars, and no, I don’t stalk anyone, not even Piolo Pascual.

Last night was the Star Magic Ball and every fan of Kapamilya stars were drooling over the beautifully created gowns and tuxedos. The sight was to die for, it always is! I tried to follow all the Twitpics posted by fans and tweets with #starmagicball hash tag but I got so sleepy LOL anyhoo, if you want unconventional wedding ideas, browse the photos of this year’s Star Magic Ball It’s like watching celebrity weddings on your screen.

Our Miley Cyrus Corazon Gitano Tour Live in Manila 2011 Experience

Posted on Jun 18, 2011 04:16:31 PM

Yesterday was probably one of my luckiest days! You see, I won not just one but two tickets to the Miley Cyrus Corazon Gitano Tour Live in Manila concert held in Mall of Asia concert grounds!

A few months ago I told my husband that we’re not telling our daughter that Miley’s coming to Manila. This is because for one, tickets are expensive and two, she’s too young to be going to concerts. But a week before the concert, Orange Magazine TV along with Futuretainment Inc. and For A Change held a contest and they will give away 2 tickets for the Miley Cyrus Corazon Gitano Tour Live in Manila concert. Of course I joined!

There were a lot of companies and individuals who held contests but I just tried my luck in Orange Magazine TV’s Facebook contest which required me to post a status saying ‎”I love to watch Miley Cyrus concert with Orange Magazine TV,For A Change andFuturetainment Inc..!”

And guess what? dawn of June 17, 2011, I learned that I was one of the winners! I was shrieking very early in the morning hahaha but a few minutes later it dawned on me that I only won 1 ticket so Yona couldn’t go with me and she couldn’t go without me either!

Later in the afternoon, Orange Magazine TV notified its fans that they’d be raffling off the other ticket because the second winner backed out. Ohhlalala! Mega-join ulit ang lola, this time it was for my daughter!  Sadly, we didn’t win

Around 4:30PM, just when I was ready to give up, Jeman Villanueva of For a Change and Orange Magazine TV called me saying that the winner on the second draw backed out again and they’ll be giving me the other ticket since it was too late for them to hold another contest! Talk about being too lucky, huh?

Goodness! I now know the feeling of getting a golden ticket from Willy Wonka!

So off we went to MOA to meet Miley Cyrus in person! Sharing with you some pics from the Miley Cyrus Corazon Gitano Tour Live in Manila concert:

Mall of Asia concert grounds is huuge but they were able to properly control the crowd. Food and beverages, professional cameras were not allowed. I just hope that they have bluetooth barcode scanners on the entrance areas to check on the fake tickets. It was on the news that there were a lot of fake tickets being sold for a fraction of the original price – bad, bad, bad!

Overall, the Miley Cyrus Corazon Gitano Tour Live in Manila was a huge success. The fans didn’t feel shortchanged as Miley gave her all during her performance. <3 Hell, The Climb gave me goosebumps hehehe

Keep on spreading and radiating love Miley! We love you!

Thank you so much Orange Magazine TV along with Futuretainment Inc. and For A Change!

Father’s Day Gift for Daddy

Posted on May 12, 2011 11:03:25 AM

Now that Mother’s Day is over, most probably are thinking on what to give the man of the house this Father’s Day.

Hmmm…my husband is not the “buy me this” type so giving him gifts is really a huge problem for me. He’s not a giver type as well but he always makes it a point to cook something special or bring us out for dinner.

This Father’s Day, I’m planning to give him a Swiss knife as it is something that he needs. I certainly do not know what the knife is for hehe A Swiss knife or insurance plans from Wholesaleinsurance.net? The whole family needs the latter by the way.

I still have a month to think about it

Havaianas MYOH 2011 in Power Plant Mall

And here’s the news:

Two Havaianaticos Head to Hawaii!

People usually head to Boracay for the fun, sun, and the gorgeous white sand beach, but for forty Havaianaticos who visited the country’s most popular beach from April 15-17, it meant being one step closer to winning the ultimate summer vacation to beautiful Hawaii. After 100 summer-loving two-member teams from all over the Philippines took part in the regional leg of the Havaianas “Always Summer: Race to Hawaii” last April 9 in Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila, the twenty teams with the fastest times were flown to Boracay, courtesy of Seair, to go through a series of fun and exciting challenges and find out who would come out on top.

Upon arrival, the finalists were greeted with special summer essentials from David & Goliath, Hawaiian Tropic, Sony, and Havaianas. They stayed at the Tides Hotel Boracay and, although competing against each other, contestants quickly became friends.

For some of the Havaianaticos such as Angela Quijano and Felcris Tajo, being a part of the Havaianas “Always Summer: Race to Hawaii” finals was already a dream come true.

“We love Havaianas because of the designs,” shares Quijano and Tajo. “But when we found out that we were a part of the [Havaianas Always Summer:] Race to Hawaii, we were really happy.”

Although some of the contestants breezed through the challenges in the regional leg, this wasn’t the case for the final round in Boracay. Teams had to accomplish fun and unique tasks that included identifying the ingredients of the delicious mystery shakes provided at the famous Jonah’s Fruit Shake and Snack Bar, digging into the sand to find secret summer items, discovering famous Boracay landmarks, and even inflating a life-sized inflatable Havaianas flip-flop raft.

In the end, it was Michael Balcita and Bernard Rebollido from Team Rosa of Baguio City who prevailed. They will now travel in style with luggage from American Tourister for a 6-day/5-night, all-expense-paid vacation for two to Hawaii – the land that inspired Havaianas.

“The challenges were really fun and challenging and we had a hard time accomplishing everything,” said Balcita and Rebollido. “We’d like to thank Havaianas for all of this. We really had a great time.”

The Havaianas “Always Summer: Race to Hawaii” contest is one of the highlights of the Havaianas “Always Summer” campaign, a year-round celebration of summer. Havaianas believes that summer never goes out of style and that Filipinos can live out the spirit of summer every day, all year round, with a positive attitude and a sense of enthusiasm.

“We’d like to congratulate Michael and Bernard for winning the Havaianas ‘Always Summer: Race to Hawaii’ contest,” said Anne Gonzalez, Managing Director of Havaianas Philippines. “We’d also like to applaud the rest of the Havaianatico participants for living the fun-loving and happy spirit of summer every day.”

Well aren’t they lucky? I bet one of those two guys got himself the best creatine to show off those muscles while in Hawaii!

Here are some photos of yesterday’s exclusive event:

Havaianas MYOH 2011 runs from May 12 to May 16. Hope to see you there!

Fruit and Flower Basket for Moms this Mother’s Day!

Posted on Apr 1, 2011 12:18:33 AM

I would love to receive something from my husband and daughter this Valentine’s day. What is it? That I don’t know.

For sure some would think that I would love to receive jewelry, gadgets or any high ticket item out there, but really, all I want is a simple gift from both of them. One or more mother’s day gift baskets (so I can give one to my mom and mother-in-law), perhaps?

Since I am 4 months preggers, I’d gladly say YES to gift baskets full of fruits. It’s fresh and healthy for baby and me plus they’re readily available in supermarkets and online.

Fun Runs in Metro Manila

Posted on Feb 25, 2011 07:30:10 AM

Fun Runs is now the latest craze in the Philippines, if not in the whole world. One would see invites from various fun runs happening almost every weekend.

According to Wikipedia: A fun run is a friendly race that involves either road running or cross country running with participants taking part for their own enjoyment rather than competition. A fun run will usually be held to raise funds for a charity, with sponsors providing the revenue to cover organisational costs. Fun runs can include novelty categories, such as wearing costumes, and age categories for child, teen, and mature. Fun runs can also be included as a side event to a marathon or other more serious races. Motorcycle, snowmobile, and other motorized vehicle events are also sometimes categorized as “fun runs.”

I have friends who are into fun runs and I couldn’t describe the satisfaction it gives them. On our case, WE TRIED to run. The hubby even bought a new pair of rubber shoes and took various vitamins including the best creatine supplement but we didn’t succeed. The call of our bed was stronger than the call of the fun run LOL

On Weddings, Wedding Cakes and Wedding Rings

Posted on Jan 11, 2011 11:09:49 AM

Weddings especially beach or garden ones get me teary-eyed. It’s one thing that every woman wants to experience: to have the chance to walk down the aisle in veil and the most gorgeous gown. It’s not part of our plans but if my husband asks me again to marry him, this time in the beach or garden, I’d gladly say yes.

Last weekend, it was our first time to make a wedding cake. The order was from a couple scheduled to be wed in Monte de Portofino, Alabang. I didn’t know who made her gown or she was made to choose between diamond or cubic zirconia wedding rings, all I knew was they chose PH Bakehouse for their cake and cupcakes

Beautiful, isn’t it?
