First and counting, hopefully.

I've never really posted had the guts to post any so-called outfit post before (blame my lack of self-confidence) so this'll be my first for this kind of thing lol 

Lace dress: custom-made 

Necklace: Love Diva

Shoes: Tinsley Shop

You can find more here, though :D

Hello, world! 

Bloggers United II!

Manila’s finest fashion bloggers will leave their laptops at home once again to attend BLOGGERS UNITED BAZAAR (Part 2)on December 3, 2011 at Treston International College, Taguig, this coming holiday season.

It is the second installment of the first-ever Bloggers United: An Interactive Shopping Affair (link your past entry if you like), which was held last May. Due to insistent demand from readers and bloggers alike, Bloggers United(http://www.facebook.com/bloggersunitedph) team in partnership with the country’s largest online shopping website, Multiply Philippines (http://multiply.com/) have gathered Manila’s fashion bloggers to sell their pre-loved but very stylish closet pieces!

This event is the perfect opportunity for both bloggers and their adoring readers to mingle and personally interact with each other. Fun contests and exciting giveaways from sponsors and entertaining performances from bloggers (Walkie Talkies, Reese & Vica) themselves will definitely keep this event from being a dull one.

Some of the notable bloggers attending the event include Divine Lee, Laureen Uy, Kookie Buhain, Lissa Kahayaon, David Guison, Karl Leuterio, Patricia Prieto and Preview Magazine’s own Daryl and Andre Chang.

But because Bloggers United wishes to go beyond the geographic limitations of the archipelago and extend its reach beyond Metro Manila and so for this event, they are flying in some of Cebu’s very own fashion bloggers which include Kryz Uy, Eden Villarba, designer Yves Camingue, Gillian Uang and Mildred Zapanta and a few more.

Part of the proceeds from this event will go to the GMA Kapuso Foundation (http://www.kapusofoundation.com/) for its school building project, a small but significant step to improve the Filipino youth’s access to education.

The organizers behind BLOGGERS UNITED BAZAAR (PART 2) are Ana Gonzales (http://anagonzales.com), Melai Entuna (http://styleandsoul.blogspot.com) and Aisa Ipac (http://ipaxme.blogspot.com),  a team of blogger friends encouraging camaraderie and sense of “community” among Manila’s (and eventually, the country’s) fashion blogging community through events and productions like this.

This is a one-day-only event that you shouldn’t really miss! It will be in a bigger venue with twice more the number of participating bloggers to meet! This is the perfect shopping day this Christmas because the most affordable and most fashionable clothes, accessories and footwear will be up for grabs. See you!

I suggest commuters to take the bus bound to Market! Market! from the BGC Bus Terminal. You can find the terminal when you turn right as you get down from the MRT-Ayala Station! You guys might wanna check out a more detailed route over at the blog of the Fashion Commuter herself here.

Now who's excited? 

Shindangdong Makati x Tous Les Jours

Shindangdong might've been your typical Korean restaurant in Makati but then again, I thought, what certainly set it apart from others was that there are tons of photographs who dined in at the restaurant from that certain time. Plus, that noticeable "to try: tteokbokki* with grated cheese" written on a white board made me definitely want to try the dish!

*tteokbokki = Korean spicy ricecake stew

The waitress there cooked the tteokbokki for us and some ingredients were rice cakes, fish cakes, ramyeon noodles, eggs and chili powder (they chose the "regular spicy" flavor for this).

The group can't certainly miss an order of kimbap! :)

Takoritang, a Korean spicy chicken stew.

Same as the tteokbokki except for the eggs and ramyeon noodles.

For every KDrama/Hallyu Wave fan, Tous Les Jours might've been the bread shop you've been seeing for quite a couple of times in various dramas and one of which is the some-kind-of-musical drama, Dream High!

One word: FIERCE

While I may be so ignorant and outdated of the online world during the last few days because of the inexistence of an internet connection in our new home, I had the opportunity to have a photoshoot with the awesomely confident photographer-slash-model Pauline de Asis. Together with her are the kalog and model friends, Jane and Grace. It's basically for the "I Choose Tattoo" Globe Tattoo Contest. At stake are cash prizes and.... a billboard! I'm running more for the cash prize, though. Hohoho.

I, honestly, put in so much effort to be not conservative with this (haha) and without further ado!

Stopped hating myself a long time ago

SOOOO Before I push through with (finally) reading Dante's "Inferno" for our MedLit class, I first took time visiting my favorite bloggers' respective online cribs. One of which is Aisa Ipac's. (Click here)

And what's the latest? Her styling stint for Manila Bulletin's TRIBAL BEAT featuring Danica Magpantay! Plus, one of her assistants was Ava Te (here!), another fashion blogger of whom I've been following in Twitter and Blogger.

Here are the photos which I got from Ms. Ipac's blog.

Moving on, Fashionmonger's Nadine Natalin is having her very first blog giveaway! (Yay! Thanks for inviting me to your blog!) Join join join!! Get a chance to win these:

Cool, right? These are only TWO of what you can possibly win! So what are you waiting for? Click here NOW for more details :) Oh, and be sure to check out That QUAINT Store on FB, her sponsor for her giveaway, as the store have the cutest stuff!!

PS: Random title right there! Did that "fool" you? Haha :p

First Day

, While I may be thinking why I wasn't so far neither enthusiastic nor too tired to go to school yesterday, it was my blog which fueled my senses. The continuous thinking of whether what I should post in here somehow kept me energized. For the record, I am actually in full gratitude to myself that I finally found that feeling again after how many years --- the enthusiasm for blogging. Then again, these bloggers I have come across, even at random, inspired me to get back to my thoughts, to think again and to breathe like a true blue blogger.

Speaking of the word "random", I just decided to post these scrap photos until I find another decent event to blog about namely later's Make a wish this 11-11-11 at Banchetto in Ortigas which was what everyone's raving about --- in Facebook or Twitter at the very least. To give a brief idea of what it is actually about, this event was organized to celebrate the 11-11-11 belief for prosperity while lighting up lanterns. You may view more about it here. Another perfect time to celebrate with loved ones!

Our team's prize during the Love Diva Bloggers Camp event. Story here.

Etude House's BB Cream! The one that saved me from freaky, large eyebags.

We got the DIVA going on

I was never a large fan of accessories: I never wore accessories too often and all I have as my "regular accessory" is my age-old watch I got back when I was in second year high school. Anyway, it was all like that until I recently became fond of browsing through fashion bloggers' pages such as the ones of Lissa Kahayon, Camille Co, Kryz Uy among other numerous fashion blogs in my bookmarks bar.

Yesterday, Love Diva organized an all bloggers event at the Alabang Town Center called the "DIVA BLOGGERS' CAMP" wherein known local fashion bloggers with the names of Ana Gonzales, Kookie Buhain, Melai Entuna, Aisa Ipac, Ava Te, Cheyser Pedregosa, Tin Iglesias, Alyssa Lapid, Vern Enciso, Tracy Ayson, Sarah Tirona and Angel Rodriguez (effort, te?) chose 2-3 'blog sisters' to be with them during the event. Fortunately, I was one of them and proud to say that I'm one of Anagon's little sisters for the day! :)

Welcome, Bloggers!

Upon entering the store, I was dumbfounded by the accessories which appeared in front of thine eyes! They were all displayed in a really organized manner --- by colors and by style.
