One of the perks of having a car is getting to drive pass and discover newly opened restaurants and/or new attractions to visit next time. And that's exactly how we discovered this recently opened picture perfect cafe / refreshment shop in General Trias. Because it is located along the main road and because of its attracting interiors, there's a greater chance you will not miss this place.

As early as elementary, I was already into arts and crafts. But it was only back in college when I discovered my passion for fashion. I wasn't a fashionista before college. Yes, I do wear what's trendy but that was it. I don't worry about how I look; I was comfortable with jeans and branded shirts. When I started college and met students who dress well in class, I felt I needed to fit in. I bought magazines to check what's trendy, how to mix match dresses and well, visit the thrift shops (more known as ukay-ukay). And that's when my fashion interest kicked in.
I was an impulsive buyer. I bought any fashion garment I find beautiful even if I don't really have to wear it. Because of this behavior, my room was filled with garments I don't even wear. So I decided to sell them. That was the birth of my online shop.
After a while, I felt I needed to know more about fashion and the industry as a whole. I searched online for fashion schools and enrolled myself in one for a certificate fashion marketing course. It was the closest and the most convenient fashion school for me during that time. I remember wishing for a fashion school located within Calabarzon. Well, that wish was granted this year, around May when FIDA Sewing and Arts School officially opened its business in Silang Cavite.

Public transportation is one of the important services in any country. Transportation not only brings a human being to their destination; deeper than that, transporation helps people achieve their goals or dreams, it brings people closer to opportunities and loved ones. It also makes people discover new things especially places. Without public transporation, both citizens and tourists will find it hard to move from one place to another.
Unlike Singapore which has an amazing public transporation system, Philippines has a terrible one. Commuters find it hard to take any public transporation. You can clearly see what I'm talking about during rush hour. The trains and buses are always packed. The traffic makes it a lot worst.
During special occasions especially during long weekend holidays, most of the bus terminals are packed! And the most annoying thing you could experience in a bus terminal is being in a long queu for hours and will later on find out, all bus tickets are sold. Yup, you stood there for nothing. You will be rescheduled for the next day or the next trip.

It's my second time attending Blogapalooza. This year, it was held in Prosperity Hall, Elements, Eton Centris. If last year, I stated the brands that caught my attention, this time I will be stating the not-so-obvious things I did not like about Blogapalooza. Be an open-mind, okay? Hehe. Warning: I have a bad humor so please don't take this post too seriously.

Until relatively recently students and all the teenagers were
obsessed with the digital devices and social networks while they had at least
some free time. Texting was the only way to rest and have fun. Right now the
trend has changed and more and more adolescents are turning to reading books
not only from the 21 st century but also the classic splendors of America,
British, and other authors. Books as “The great Gatsby”, “Norwegian wood”,
“The perks of being a wallflower”,
“Crime and punishment”,
“A farewell to arms”,
“To kill a Mockingbird”,
“Uncle Tom's cabin”,
“The art of happiness”
etc. Some girls may have an interest in the light-weight books about the
everyday life of women from diverse walks of life. To such individuals, we may
offer such literature as “The devil wears Prada”,
“Everyone worth knowing”,
“The gone girl”
and even more. Each of the books will reverberate in the hearts of young
readers. Sometimes you will see yourself in the heroes' characters and the
situations they find themselves in. At times, reading will help you to surmount
your inner fears or obstacles in your life by reevaluating events and looking
at the situation from another perspective. Books can also enrich the vocabulary
and become a way to help with writing an essay in
the future. Perhaps your literary talents were hidden?

Though it has been raining nowadays, we can still feel terrible heat of summer. Try standing outdoors and you'll feel your sweat dripping down your skin by just a few minutes. With this kind of temperature, we have to stay hydrated. Of course, drinking water is the best thing to do but you can also choose an iced cold drink with different flavors.

I have been suffering hair fall problem since college. It's annoying and embarrassing at the same time. That's why when I found out about MoringaO2, I really wanted to try it. I first knew about MoringaO2 through Team Kramer and next from www.sampleroom.ph. When SampleRoom had it, I was very happy but unfortunately, my sampleroom points weren't enough to get a sample. I kept going back to the mall near me before but they didn't have this yet. It took months before they had these on their shelves.

Living in a province has advantages and disadvantages. We don't have to live with EDSA traffic however, we are often left behind with the latest food destinations and newly opened fashion stores because it's usually located only within Metro Manila.
A good example would be buffets. Most of the most talked-about buffets are located in Metro Manila. A 3-hour drive just to eat in a buffet could be a big hassle. So we don't get to experience what Metro Manila people are enjoying.

I guess we all feel lost because we are so busy trying to be successful in our chosen careers, trying to please people, trying to get that 6-digit figure in our bank accounts, trying to compete just to be the best and subconsciously trying to be someone we're not. We get so caught up to these things that we lose focus and forget what we actually want, what makes us happy and what our purpose in life really is. Frankly, I've been to this stage many times and it's stressful. It feels bad not being able to meet the expectations other people. More so, it feels worst not being able to be the kind of person your parents expects you to be. I knew I needed guidance. I almost went to a priest for a talk. But a wonderful opportunity opened its doors for me. I was invited to join the Celebrate Your Purpose Workshop.

As I was walking around SM Dasmarinas last month, I discovered a new food space which serves sandwiches and other light meals. I never heard about The Sandwich Guy before and I never heard of it opening in SM Dasma. It just so happened I was walking to BDO bank when I discovered them. They're located in front of Ace Hardware and under the escalator. I wasn't busy that day so I took the chance to try them out.

After reading Everyone Can Be Creative, I looked back at my college life and remembered all the projects we had to do, the brilliant campaigns we came up with and everything else related to my course. Then I remembered the movie my good friend Jomar introduced to me a few years back. It's a movie that tackles the kind of world marketing and advertising has. It's a hilarious marketing movie and a romantic comedy movie combined.

As a child, were you the type who'd rather hold crayons than pencils? Would you rather paint than solve math problems? Are you more into music notes than into grammar lessons? If yes is your answer to these questions, I'm pretty sure you've heard other people tell your parent that you'd be a creative person when you grow up. But that's not the case. You see, when I was younger, I'm more into sports - running, soccer, basketball, swimming and even cricket but I did not end up being an athlete. I was somehow led to a creative course. It goes to show everyone can be creative... in our own little ways.

I honestly have grown tired of the regular cafe and restaurants. There are times I want a quiet time in a coffee shop and that's when I go to the less populated ones. But then there are those times I want to do or experience other things in one place. And I'm super glad that this cafe near me does the job.

If you've read my previous posts, you'd know that I'm always visiting this well-known buffet restaurant in Mall of Asia. Though I have heard of other buffet restaurants in Manila, we've never got the chance to try them. One of those buffet resto is Cabalen. We've passed its MOA and ATC branches many times and my dad keeps bugging us to try them yet we always give it a pass either because we were in a hurry or that we were already full. But when they opened a branch here at SM Dasmariñas recently, it was more convenient for us; it was much easier to find the right time to visit.

I do believe that visual impact is very important in business. If you own a boutique, your visual merchandising should be the best to encourage the window shoppers to go inside and eventually buy something. It's equally important for restaurants especially if it's new in the industry. Same as the boutique, restaurants should make their interiors pleasing and/or interesting to the eyes of the customers so they'd want to try you out. Good ambiance is one of the main things consumers look for. And that's what makes me want to try new restaurants too.

Batangas is known for the numerous beaches and resorts. Though my dad's family lives within the province, we rarely get to explore the different beach resorts near us. But late last year, we went to celebrate our family's reunion in one of the resorts in Bauan, Batangas. Coincidentally, it's owned by my mom's friend so we got good discounts. Unlike other resorts that are usually found near the beach, this resort was far from one and was in a high area of the municipality. It was quite unusual for us but we had a very private and fun time there. We did enjoy our stay in Seascape Resort.

I don't know about you but I'm really attached with photographs. I treasure photographs because its a visual representation of the memories I have. I can't afford to lose any of them unless I deleted it myself. So you can just imagine my frustration when I learned that an entire folder containing four (4) years of memories was gone from my external drive. I, nor my mom, can't remember accidentally deleting it. It was a big mystery up to this date why it got deleted.
I almost lost hope. I messaged different people I know who might have knowledge on how to retrieve files. They recommended different software applications but only one of the suggestions really worked for me: the EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard

Your Tagaytay trip will not be complete if you won't drop by Bag of Beans branch. Currently, they have four (4) branches: near Mendez crossing (main), Twin Lakes, near Olivarez rotonda and another along the highway. Though the Twin Lakes branch is the farthest especially for those coming from Manila, yet a lot visits there. Why? Read on!

How I wished there was more pages about her. Though her answers to questions would give you an idea of show she is as the Teen Queen and how she is a Kathryn, it would have been better to read more write-ups about her: about her life behind the camera, about her point of views in life aside from the positive outlook she have already shared, about the advocacy she's supporting (if she has one), and a lot more. I believe that if she have shared more about these things, she could empower teens more and build deeper connection with her fans and other book readers such as myself.
Is this book worth buying?
This book costs Php295 and basically has four (4) parts: 70 quick tricks to lift your mood, 105 style tips for every girl, 70 beauty secrets revealed and 120 things Kathryn learned about life, love and everything in between. And that's about it. If you want to know Kathryn more or deeper, you will not get it from this book.
But if you're a teenager, a huge fan of Kathryn, and don't own a book with the basics about beauty/style yet, this would be an ideal book to have and treasure.
You can take a peek at the contents of the book through the video below.
I hope the KathNiel fans won't bash me for posting it. I do not understand why KathNiel fans are getting pissed with people who posts that contents of the book? Posting parts of it isn't spoiling the book, it's actually promoting it. Kath's fans should promote the book because it's worth buying and having than just merely aiming to make it the best-seller based on bookstore purchases. Just my two cents.

A year after my last break up, my family and friends kept asking me if I have someone new as if it was that easy to get back up. Maybe they got so used to seeing me skip from one guy to another. Maybe they thought I'm still that easy-go-lucky young lady who goes out with any guy she feels like dating. Little did they know, a lot have changed from my last relationship.
It's true that I was hurt badly. It was too painful that even to this day, whenever I think of it, it still hurts. And the reason I still get hurt is the same reason why I'm still single: My trust was broken.

I honestly can't remember where I heard about Zark's. I don't know much about this burger house but I heard their branches are always full. So when people from Dasmariñas and nearby municipalities knew they'd be opening a branch at SMD, they expressed their excitement in their Facebook page. And because I haven't tried them yet, it made me excited too!
