Our first and last love is --- self-love (Pre-Valentine Post)
As the most awaited (by women) holiday approaches, many of us prepare for an extravagant or a very special date with that special someone. Flower vendors lining up the street sides, restaurants are getting busy for a crowded night of love and romance, and heart shaped boxes of candy and teddy bears showing their love are flying off the shelves. These scenarios may be a bit overwhelming to those who were unfortunately missed by Cupid’s bow and arrow. I for one can’t help but feel completely dreaded by tomorrow’s event.

| love is in the air! |
This Tuesday is Valentine’s Day, a day that celebrates love between two people, wherein lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery and sending love letters and/or greeting cards (originally and traditionally). The question is, if it was celebrated traditionally for couples, or lovers, does it mean Single gals and lads can’t celebrate the-so-called holiday?
Singles, don’t let yourself get sucked and be trapped in the portal of loneliness and bitterness on Valentine’s Day.
You better stop whining or ranting how you hate such holiday because you don’t have a partner to celebrate it with. Remember, it’s a celebration of love and love doesn’t just revolve from girlfriend/boyfriend and husband/wife relationship. We have so much love to share for everyone, we have our family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and even pets, and we are living in the 21st century after all. Ask your friends out, or your brothers and sisters. Watch a movie with your officemates, hangout with your girlfriends or even a have a drink with your best buds. But don’t forget who deserves your love the most, not only on such event but all throughout the year – YOURSELF.
Today, I’m asking myself “Will you be my Valentine?” This may sound desperate or seem lonely but it’s not. Why don’t you treat yourself with a well deserve whole body massage, or a sumptuous dinner from a restaurant you’ve been dying to try out. Every year, I have a valentine; hence I’m new to this “date-with-myself”. I’m Single and I’m choosing to celebrate this holiday and not sulk around or feel sorry for myself. I’ve been through a lot in my past relationships; tomorrow will be a very different day for me (Nothing fancy for sure because honestly, as much as I like Valentine’s Day, I’m not a fan of the crowd it attracts. I mean too many people everywhere!)
- After work, I will buy a pair of red flats and wear it tomorrow for work; that is if the weather permits. (Why wait for someone to give you a present?)
- I’m going to wear a cute outfit that will surely brighten my day and make me feel good and look pretty. (If Black is part of your everyday wardrobe just like me, then do wear black; just don’t forget to incorporate anything that screams looooove! Haha just sayin’)
- I will buy my favorite chocolate and share it with everyone! (Single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my favorite sweet treats)
- It’s time for a movie marathon tomorrow after work! (I have a lot of pending movies on my lappy top to watch)
- Last but not the least, greet everyone you meet, smile, and spread some good lovin’.
On Valentine’s Day, Take time to love yourself J
Till next blog darlings!
Happy Valentines! ciao, xoxo

mustard. and a lil bit of everythin'
Hi Darlings!
Yesterday was the last day of the first month of the year! hahahah ok try to digest that first. I wanted to end the month with a positive outlook in life. Lately, I've been reflecting alot about my life. to make it short, I'm in that phase we call "mid-life crisis!" maybe too early? I guess.
To break my habit of staring blankly ahead (a lot in my mind), I decided to do something that would remind me I should not be lonely or be negative today. First idea is to incorporate it on whatever I'll be wearing for work. To start off, I chose a color that I don't usually wear! I'm not a big fan of yellow (any shade) and I can actually count how many colored yellow clothes I have. The top is supposed to be a shirt but since I lost weight and unimaginably short, it looked somewhat like a dress.
I wore a black mini skirt underneath because it's a big no no to wear sheer tights and top alone! I paired it with my black sheer tights, leopard print and a pair of black oxford shoes w/ Heels! yes with heels. :)
My day, become so much brighter than the past few days. Maybe, leaving your comfort zone every once in awhile is really healthy. Wore Mustard color shirt for the 2nd time ever and strutted a printed sheer tights for the first time (believe it) made a big difference.
All I need is to get out of my comfort zone.

- Random Facts about WOMEN -
No Facebook, Twitter, nor any other social network/sites is accessible in our office. Google and I rally around different sites as to cover my idle time (Sorry! I have to at least pretend that I’m busy). As I was browsing yesterday (Take note! I only do this when I have finished working), I stumbled upon a website which tackles interesting, Silly, funny, and fun facts of life. The random facts about women caught my attention.
To make it more interesting, I chose 5 facts to present and justify . The sole purpose of this blog is plainly to express and share my opinion to the never ending GENDER topic, must be it role, attitude, personality and as such. Have fun! Feel free to share your insights as well <3
10 RANDOM FACTS about WOMEN:
- Ok, guilty! Now tell me who doesn’t do this. We may have different purpose, excuse or alibis for committing this act, but we’ve all done this not only once or twice in our lives, but most of the time. Agree? I do this when I don’t feel like talking after an argument or misunderstanding, when I’m pissed off or not in the mood and when I want my partner to realize whatever he’s done. Also, my way of saying "c'mon I need a hug!" Just so you know, I incorporate different facial expressions and tone of voice to make the reason more obvious.
2. Women, no matter what size, are always going to be insecure about something on their body. It could be their weight, their nose, their chest size, or their butt. Even super models will have one thing on their body that they may not like or that they are insecure about, even if they never admit it to anybody.
- Need to say more? Billion times GUILTY! Christina Aguilera says “you are beautiful, no matter what they say, words can’t bring you down”, PINK insists “you are F*ckin’ perfect to me”, while Lady Gaga sings to you “I’m beautiful in a way, cause GOD makes no mistakes… I was born this way”, Beautiful shout outs to all women. However, it’s more of an addiction or there is a deeper reason why we do this all the time. I can be annoying at times complaining about my weight, and how I am not like this or that. We are all aware that we shouldn’t do this because it only leads to depression and low self-confidence/esteem. Maybe, I do this to seek comfort or assurance (sometimes, papansin na!) it’s the ugly truth, I can’t help it, You can’t help it.Just keep in mind, it's not healthy.
3. Women never have anything to wear. Don't question the racks of clothes in the closet; you "just don't understand".
- What about this one? I bet you are all laughing because you agree it's soooooo true! Can please someone help me why we keep doing this? Whenever a guy asks how come I still complain when I have a closet full clothes, some I havent even worn and price tags are still attached, I just can't seem to come up with a valid reason. First, I say I dont have anything to wear because admit it or not, if you have too much clothes, it's really difficult to find the perfect outfit. Other times, I can't stand wearing the same set of clothes I wore last week. Most of the time, my mind wanders and gets the better of me - I end up using it as an excuse to go shopping. Yet, again. Trust me, I'm working on it. i made a pact with myself to only go on a shopping spree when it's necessary. And there is also a rule we must follow "if you havent used it in 6 months, let it go for crying out loud!" hahahaha :D
4. A woman feels awkward if she does not carry anything in her hands. That is why they always carry their handbags around.
- See that bag in the picture, I can't live without it! I swear. It doesn't just feel awkward but i feel totally incomplete. I feel naked without a bag, a purse, or even just a wallet. It's like a women's tool box, or a survival kit only bigger and fashionable :) I have everything I need in my bag. Not even DORA can leave the house without her backpack!
5. Women like to smell good and this is why they have so many smelly beauty items. Whatever can be bought that has a smell, women usually do buy them. This includes shampoo, lotion, soap or body wash, and toiletry sprays.
- I love Body Shop's scented items. I buy the same scent from shower gel to bath soap, from lotion to body spray. I don't need to emphasize on this. it's part of the whole package :) I feel pretty when I'm presentable, look nice, and smell nice.
Till next blog my darlings!

and I'm BACK!
Hi Darlings!
It says right there, yes I'm still alive! I sure missed out alot here in blogging world. After a hurly burly couple of months, here I am trying my best to shovel out all the wonderful things I would like to share.
This will be a blog of random thoughts, fashion, scenarios and small happenings of my-oh-so-not-fabulous life.
1. Our Company's Christmas Party at Acacia Hotel last Dec 10, 2011. It's a Masquerade theme party. The very first time that I've worn something way out of my league. I strutted a black and white evening dress. I don't ever wear stripes because it makes me look a lil' wider. I fell inlove with the dress so I decided to move out of my comfort zone.
OUTFIT: Black and White Evening Dress courtesy of my mother, Black pumps with Diamond Studs from Parisian, a lovely black mask from Accessorize, an egg-shell colored purse and black gloves. I opted for a more classy evening look.

When it comes to fashion, the next photo should be sent out to fashion police, but hey! I didnt know, so being the optimistic ME, I posed, took a snapshot and made a fool out of myself in a weird/laughable way. I think :)

Until One day I woke with a frizzy, and dry hair. It was all over my face. I had it rebonded tho I love beachy waves hairstyle. Here it is now:
3. My new pair for 2012. I just can't resist but to own this pair of shoes from JUAN.
