Missing the Corporate World

I did several jobs in the past before I turned into a full-time mom and part-time blogger. I did ushering, tutoring, teaching, instructing, sales and telemarketing, customer service, and even worked as corporate slave! Well, I am pretty happy with what I'm doing now, but I sometimes miss the corporate world.. the reason why I decided to come up with this look.


What I wore: Jacket from SM Surplus store, red top from Landmark, DIY leopard skirt, leather bag from Istanbul, Forever 21 leopard earrings, random ring and tights, and Parisian Original pumps.



With my fellow blogger, Jenny Roxas, at Maxims Tower in Resort World Manila.


I know I cannot be ready in 30 minutes when going out for a blogger event. I swear I always end up changing several clothes before hitting the road, so I created this Polyvore set a few days before the Miss Resorts World Manila 2011 Swimsuit Competition and Media Presentation. It served as a model, using what I have in my closet that are similar to the pieces in the set. Looking at it now, I just realized that I missed something. The necklace! I forgot wearing it!! Hahaha!!!

Sale Find: Paris Hilton Timeless Chihuahua Shoulder Bag

I already handed down my old Paris Hilton tote to a younger cousin, so it was a perfect timing when they announced that in order to get a pass to Paris Hilton's Meet and Greet at the Mega Atrium, one has to buy a purse from her store. Thanks to advertisers 'cause I was able to earn money to get myself a new bag from Paris Hilton Bags and Accessories. I visited the newest branch in Megamall just 2 days before ribbon-cutting and was happy to get a discount before Paris Hilton herself visited the store.


Very cute bag bling.


Ohhh.. Tinkerbell, is tat u?

Will take care of this bag.

Cos the heiress signed it! :)

Beyonce's Baby Bump at the MTV VMAs 2011

Yes finally.. Beyonce Knowles is pregnant! Check out this photo of her with hands on her bulging pregnant belly. She's turning 30 on September 4 so this is like the greatest gift for her and husband of three years, Shawn Corey Carter a.k.a. Jay Z.



"I have a surprise!" The singer's announcement amazed everybody.




Her representative confirmed her pregnancy and was happy to say it's true, reports PEOPLE.




She even rubbed her tummy after a show-stopping performance which made the crowd roar. So cute!


Doesn't she look lovely in that one-shoulder orange gown from Lanvin Fall 2011 Collection? The big accessories completed the outfit, though I'm kind of afraid she'll fall in those platform pumps. IMO, no problem during her first trimester, but not a good idea if her belly is already full and heavy.

Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Seduction Lipstick in Deep Marashino

It's been a while since my last beauty product review. I just updated my vanity kit, therefore I have new make up and lipsticks. New because it's my first time to buy and use them, and to see if they work on me, I will try to make a review of every item. Here's the first.

Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Seduction Lipstick in Deep Marashino 3 g


Regular price: P375 (more or less 9 USD)


This is my photo without lipstick. Ok, I know I need more sleep, so please never mind my eye bags. LOL.

This is the shot with Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Seduction Lipstick in Deep Marashino. I first applied Maybelline Lip Balm in strawberry as a base.


Swatches. Without flash on the left and with flash on the right.


Notes about this product:
-It doesn't leave my lips dry.
-The color looks nice on my pigmented lips.
-Price is very affordable.
-I look pretty with it so.. I will buy it again!

Oh hey, I want to improve my skills in applying makeup and lipstick. I think, my workshop with Reiva Cruz of MUD is not enough. If you have special techniques in applying lippies, please feel free to share them in your comment. I will really appreciate it.

Enjoy your long weekend ladies! xoxo

Irene Gabriel, Erin Dolores Lane, and Helen Nicolette Henson are my top picks for this year. Nevertheless, I have a feeling that Helen Henson is going to the title. If you remember, she joined Bb. Pilipinas 2010 where she placed 2nd Runner Up. She could've competed in the Miss Universe 2010 held in Las Vegas, Nevada but Venus Raj was reinstated and eventually won 4th Runner Up.

An Interview with Isha Dinio

Like I told you in my previous post, I did a very short interview with Isha Dinio during the Paris Hilton Meet and Greet at MEGA Atrium. I am talking about @iamishagirl, the recognized #1 Filipino fan of the hotel heiress. She was kind enough to give me a few minutes before she headed to see her greatest idol again. Thanks girl! Here's the interview.



Isha has been very lucky, right? Though she started to have haters in Twitter and Facebook, we can just can't erase the fact that she is Paris Hilton's babe here in the Philippines! Try to google her name and you'll see why.

To you Isha, do not mind your haters. Always remember that you are the chosen one by the heiress herself. Thanks for allowing me to interview you. Good luck!

I Just Met Paris Hilton!

Paris Hilton Meet and Greet was successfully held at MEGA Atrium last August 18, 2011. Local celebrities and fans alike enjoyed the event. Most of them dressed for the occassion, some prepared a gift to give Paris, and others even took with them a special item or memorabilia for the autograph signing.

Miss Tessa Prieto - Valdez in her famous signature-- the headpiece!


One of the ladies who took control of the fans. Lovely dress she has.


While waiting for the heiress to come down, this lady host entertained the people with trivia and stories about her.



Isha Dinio, recognized as the #1 Filipino fan of Paris was called for an on the spot interview. Side note: I also did an interview with Isha. Check it HERE.



The raffle draw took place before Paris Hilton's appearance.


Three lucky ladies were called, each took home a souvenir Paris Hilton bag.

The raffle draw is done, right? Who gets these remaining 3? Hmmm.. must be the bags Paris gave to Isha Dinio.


Alas, Paris finally came! The crowd went wild. Both girls and boys were shouting "I love you Paris!" and Paris was like "Thank you so much. Mahal kita. I love you all guys!"


Luckily, I was able to get the 11th spot in queue for the autograph signing. Paris signed the inner section of my Timeless Chihuahua Shoulder Bag. Yey!!


Too bad individual taking of photos wasn't allowed. Only her assistant's camera was allowed to work.

Instead, I got a photo op with Tim Yap who co-hosted the event. Thanks Tim! :)

Even I didn't score a photo with Paris, seeing her, standing just inches to her, and getting a beso kiss from her is something that I can never forget. I am not a die hard fan, not even close to Isha Dinio a.ka. "iamishagirl", but I look up on her being a successful businesswoman. I also love her positive attitude towards life. I know this experience is something that I can be proud of sharing to others.

The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.
-Paris Hilton
