The next time I fall
Risk-taking would be oh-so worth it (again) for me if it follows the following standards:
3. “Always makes TIME for me.”
The difference between time spent together and time apart is such a huge factor, well for me. A simple text or a minute call isn’t that hard to squeeze in when busy, right? Time management I tell you.
2. “Treat me the way I deserve to be...

Sweet Valentine

I consider this my Valentines gift to MYSELF! ♥ Ohhhh happy Monday indeed. ♥

Of Milk and Cookies
Have you been to Borough yet? Borough is a loft-style resto-bar inspired by Brooklyn’s neighborhood, and is open 24/7. Borough is located at the ground floor of The Podium.
While in Borough, try Mom’s Milk and Cookies — they are theee BOMB!
Yesszir! One of the best cookies I ever tasted — brings out the kid in you.
Aaaaaah! Insanely good!
Borough. Comfort food 24/7....

Cray cray over JJ!
So my madness continues…
2005: Crepes.
2006: Cupcakes.
2007: Caramel Apples.
2008: French Macarons.
2009: Gelato.
2010: FroYo.
2011: Milk Tea. Oh and Mochi.
I say for 2012: it’s Jamba Juice. And it’s about time I made a post about this wonder. :)

Grateful or spiteful: 2011 realizations
January. What better way to ring in the New Year than with a blogpost? :) It’s the first day of 2012 and my life and my plans flashed before my eyes. Yes, it’s possible to have a near-death flashback even when you’re not really dying.
I started my year like this… (partying, drinking, beach bumming)

…and ended up like this: (PREGGERS!)
Don’t get...

Girlfriends Reunited
Last post for 2011. Lunchie at Rockwell with my girlies last Wednesday. Sometimes, all you need is to talk to your girl friends who can understand what you’re going through. Spending time with them was really refreshing. I super missed them too!!
I’m doing it! Another blog post on maternity style. I will definitely remember these days of fabulous largeness. I always love Nicole...

Hot Issue
Back to blogging! Yes this is my first blogpost, well maternity blogpost for that matter. Teehee. First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you all enjoyed the holidays. :)
There really is no place like home! I am so happy to be home. and for me, the only “perfect” way to celebrate the season is to spend it with people you truly care about.
Glad to see C-bar after like what, six...

Tough love
A month and a half passed by since my last post, and I must admit, I do miss blogging. The month-long hiatus served as a time for me to think things over and set priorities. So yeah, I’m halfway there —— and there is no greater joy than the one brought by the life in my womb. The remaining months will surely bring me changes and perhaps, a little anxiety. Now, fetal movements are more...

Detour (or how my life totally changed in just 24...
Guess who’s back! I know it seems like FOREVER since my last post, and the past few months passed me by in a blur. Let’s backtrack a bit, shall we? In a stunning turn of events, I was feeling queasy during my birthday week last August. A trip to Makati Med’s ER didn’t exactly rule out the main reason… So after a week, my family decided to take me to the hospital....

Learn to take a break. After an arduous meeting in the morning, fun chill booze night with my friends at W Grill to de-stress. :)
Fancy bumping into Iris! :) It’s her birthday! Happy birthday!! :)

Everyday I'm hustlin'
So July’s gone —— with regrets, mistakes, and memories made. Still, I’m thankful for all of it. Hopefully, August will be so much better than my July. Again, it’s August. That only means one thing —— T-minus 6 days, I will be a year older. :) First day of August falls on a Monday, my day was bombarded with meetings in the morning. It was such a great idea...

That glorious birthday eve we always do
Just a few days till I turn 23… I look back at my birthday eve and here’s what I’ll definitely miss… Birthday salubs with my sister. We have the same birthday, btw. And no I am not the older one (Heck yeah, I get that all the time). She’s 1987. I’m 1988. Let’s do a quick trip to memory lane, shall we? :) That’s me from waaaay back! Montessori days....

Flight of Fancy
Friday. I sorta became a “photographer” that day and here’s one of the few photos I had! I was busy taking photos of the whole event, and it brought me back to my college days (READ: NURSING student days!). Saw some familiar faces as well! ‘Twas fuuuun though. :) The rain can’t and didn’t stop us. The show MUST go on! :) Wearing my 6-inch wedges while roaming...

Friday Night Tales
Aaaand it’s Friday night again! My remaining Friday nights here in the country are officially saved for Triad Fridays (except for the part that Mr. Carl Adao hasn’t been joining us lately). Anywhoo, it was a good night. In a stunning turn of events, from my Sunday Fuego trip to my Tuesday Boracay trip (both work-related) to my Wednesday food poisoning case at Sugi to my 40C fever on a...

Hey everyone! There’s a fundraising bazaar for the benefit of our Japanese friends happening this weekend from 12 noon to 12 midnight! It’s gonna be a whole lotta fun as there will be Cosplay, Film Showing, and Celebrity Auction, to name a few. This is all for our dear Japan —- the country we all learned to love.

A lost ball in the high weeds
The problem with reality: There’s no background music.
Here’s to those nights that I’ll always remember, but never get back…
I don’t know what I want to do with my life, I just know I want to do it. I want to see my world. I want to meet every single person breathing on this earth. I want to give everyone a hug or a handshake and I...

Shopping in the rain
June may have already brought storms and showers, but nothing spells “rain” like July. So this weekend, let us seek solace in the downpour and beat the rainy day blues with the season’s hottest finds!!!
Can I just say that I’m so happy to wake up in the aftie and see this? Just for me! (Pardon the crappy photos).
Free SuperSale tickets! Thanks much JL Ladrido...

Livin' young, wild and free
My July weekends are the KUHHHRAAAZIESSST!!! It’s that time of the week again! You know it’s gonna be a long ass night when you start it off with some booze —— proven by 4 bruises, 1 cigarette butt scar (YES, on my right leg), a husky voice, and blurry memories.
Good vibes, happy thoughts. I live for moments like this! From Tides QC to Central 1 —— countless...

Like no other
Oh I am feeling so much better that day… Normal, that is. I got plenty of sleep and I’m so happy it’s Friday. It’s obvious to me when I’m “normal” because I actually care about getting dressed in the morning. I am more energetic and thrilled. All seemingly frivolous and insignificant but good signs that my head is working for me creatively and not against...

So much for my happy ending
The memories start to lose color…
…when you gave your best shot and it still doesn’t work out —— it’s better to bid adieu to all of the memories and… all that stuff.
You know it’s best we don’t even talk anymore, don’t text even if I crossed your mind. It’s hard enough; I don’t need to hear your voice on my...

Alcoholic Indulgence
Errands galore + work mode on a Saturday. And what a way to cap off a busy day than to drink.some.effin.BOOZE! But before that, I tasted one of the best Milk Tea ever made!!! Headin’ north wasn’t that bad at all! Wintermelon Milk Tea of Moonleaf Tea shop is definitely a MUST-TRY!! :)

When you're on your period.
You try to go to bed.
But then you’re worried you might bleed.
Then you wake up and check your surroundings for pools of blood.
You spend the rest of the day eating everything in sight.
And then you have cramps.
And people look at you like..
And you’re just waiting for this horrible week to be over.
And when it’s over you’re just like.
But then you realize it’s coming...

Those last minute plans that end up being one of the best nights ever —- last night was a perfect example. ‘Twas UNFORGETTABLE. Killed it! Okay, you don’t have to think hard there. Just like Central’s tagline: “everyday is a weekend” —- pretty much explains why we’re out and about on a chill Sunday night! Catchin’ up with friends over booze and...

One of ze boys!
Spent my Saturday night with my BOY friends! First off, W grill! Too bad I had no pictures there. Boohoo. But it was fun though, new faces and the new look of W was all good. Saturday plan was to really go clubbing at Amber. Apparently, the place is JAMPACKED so we went to Ponti only to find out the crowd is just the same as well. Somehow ended up in Central Makati for what else? BOOZE!

Of torrential rains and mishaps
Yesterday was a complete disaster for me. It rained nonstop which left some people (myself included) STRANDED! Talk about bein’ unfortunate that day! I accidentally ripped my jeggings (yeah, got an effin bruise), broke a wine glass, slipped twice at Greenbelt to name a few… Oh, that’s the hole right there.

Beautiful Hangover
So my system’s down last Saturday —- prolly one of those days when I all I want is to hide and don’t want to be seen. UNUSUAL. The weather isn’t helping at all. From the sudden downpour to my surprisingly current situation, everything seems to be just.plain.GLOOMY. And as much as I wanted to mope around and hide from people, I met up with my sissy —- I need...

If all else fails, RETAIL THERAPY!
This is an archive post, so bear with me! Wednesday packed with ERRANDS! Been feeling crappy this past few days… The next best thing to do: hit the mall and SHOP LIKE CRAZY! Sometimes, clothes and shoes make me happier more than people do. So here are the ones that made my day!

If you cannot roll, roll out!
Fun chill Monday it is! After running some errands in the morning, another C-bar get-together —- yay for that! Watched X-Men first Class (as for me, for the second time around)! What a dope way to start off a week! Its just sad we’re not complete. Again. Bummer. :|
Good times with my dear ‘ol friends! One of the many things I’ll miss!

Life becomes downright gleeful in 2011
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” —- wise lyrics from a certain song. I was thinking about those words as I was catchin’ up with some friends on all their exciting news and challenges: babies, engagements, splits, and new jobs in other places.
We are halfway through the year now, and I can still remember back in early January when I...

So yeah, I’m back to my happy-go-lucky self and super enjoying this FREEDOM though it wont last THAT long. I’m leaving any time soon, so boohoo. I went to the mall by myself yesterday for some errands for my Boss —- then shoe shopping afterwards :)

A bella can never have too many shoes
I’ve been looking forward to this BIG event for two months now, and I must say this is one of the many things I’m thrilled about this June. This addiction has to stop… but I can’t seem to. I SOOO LOVE SHOES! Shoes are a girl’s best friend (aside from DIAMONDS) —- they will love you no matter how much you weigh and if you’re having a bad hair...

An urge to be anonymous
The urge to misbehave and the desire to be anonymous always visit me together. Human nature tells us to use the cover of anonymity to avoid taking the blame for the bad things we do. Some say anonymity is the last refuge for cowards. Judging from the mail and comments I’ve read that have been submitted anonymously, (mostly questions in my Formspring account) I would agree.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
First off, let me bid adieu to summer as it officially ended… Byebye May, you were aMAYzing! Seriously!

Tropical depressions don't have to be depressing
Elegance is a 24/7 affair, and there is no excuse to look like you’ve just been dragged through torrential rains —- even if you have been. Take a cue from Audrey Hepburn at Breakfast at Tiffany’s who looked effervescently chic despite the bad weather.
Having said that, the weather here in Manila is so unpredictable! I had to cancel my beach trip to Bicol because of the...

Fashion week may be over but that won’t stop me from looking fashionably chic especially on a Friday night! Teehee.
