Field of Flowers

I'VE GOT A LOT of questions about floral dresses that I have worn a lot in my previous outfit posts. Well, one of the thing I can’t avoid wearing are dresses, especially if floral ones. From the last year I continued buying them and I wear them all the time, playing with colorful shoes. I can't remember exactly how many floral dresses I have, but my wardrobe consists entirely of floral dresses and floral tops. I think 60% dresses, so definitely more dresses and less jeans and tops! And this dress that I'm wearing is my favorite, I love the color so much, so bright and full of life!

So, guys, what does your wardrobe consist of?

Ezra: Friendship and Memories

I CAN REMEMBER the first time we met, I simply knew her as SUMMERGIRL. We both chatters of Alamak.com and I first saw her at Kuya Danny’s (DARKEN) Cafe... but have no idea how that instance turned into a friendship.

She’s very bubbly, pretty, smart and such a good friend. We have something in common; we both love to partying out late and gimmicks. We really love to dance... and we were GOOD, I must say. We were one of the best in the group, haha! It was seriously one of the best experiences of my life. I miss it.

Fellowship w/ the Kings at Gutsons September 21, 2001

We go through way back since we were in 3rd year College and then stopped seeing each other when I left Manila. After a year, I found out that she's married to our co-Alamakers, and she seems so genuinely happy. We have met again at her son’s 1st birthday party last year and at her daughter’s 7th birthday party last March.

Colors of the Wind

I'M WEARING this gorgeous, very refined hanging neck chiffon dress from R.J. Story. I just bought this dress online and I LOVE it! Such a delightful cut, it makes me feel so pretty! *smile*

I love the perfect feeling of the fabric. The colorful shade and the delicate detailing. I love chiffon fabric for tops or dresses-- so lovely and weightless.






Every time I go online shopping, I'm searching for something colorful or chiffon. I can't help but fall in love with that feminine feel and beautiful movement. Do you guys love the chiffon fabric also?

Philippines’ First World-class Oceanarium: Manila Ocean Park

NOTE: This post is from last year, from my old blog. I decided to delete that blog due to lack of updates but I realized just how much of a treasure it is. So I'll transfer some important and precious post entry here! Enjoy!

Finally, I had a chance to visit the Manila Ocean Park! Yehey! At long last, we have our own state-of-the-art Oceanarium in the Philippines! Although a big part of building is still under construction (i.e. hotel, mall) but I am still impressed and loved the feeling of under the sea experience.


So how was the experience? I really enjoy a breathtaking 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls. It feels like you’re walking under the ocean and experience how marine animals interact with each other in their natural habitat especially when the big shark and sting rays swim by over your head. I have to say that the park itself was truly awesome and I really get amazed and wowed. They swim so fast so it’s kinda frustrating to capture them.

The Manila Ocean Park is a multi-purpose function facilities in one complex, bringing together the water marine habitat, the country’s first state-of-the-art Oceanarium, restaurant, mall and hotel. So, what are you waiting for? Experience and discover the world under the sea at the Manila Ocean Park.

The water theme park is composed of:
1. Manila ocean Park “Agos” (Flow)
Enter the journey of a rain forest motif with a patch of green plants, surrounded of three flights of wooden stairs, water cascading from an artificial waterfall and complete with 8 tanks of freshwater fishes in various sizes, kinds and color; (Giant Milk Fish, Aruana, Ocellate River Stingray, Oscar, Pirarucu/Giant Arapaima, Red Tail Catfish, Red Pacu/Pirapitinga)

The rain forest motif and one of the three flights wooden stairs.

Philippine Crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis)

The artificial waterfalls

2. Manila Ocean Park “Bahura” (The Reef)
The next attraction is a darkened room of exhibition of artificial and very colorful corals in 48 smaller tanks with species from the Philippine reefs (Giant Clams, Squid, Seahorses, Regal Angelfish, Yellow Tang, Teira Batfish, Spotted Garden Eel etc.)

Common Lionfish “Ranuy Ranuy” (Pterois volitans)

Clown Fish (Amphiprion percula)

I also found Nemo there… hehe

3. Manila Ocean Park “Laot” (Fishing Ground)
It features big fish and Eagle-spotted rays in a long tank

“Talakitok” (Trachinotus blochii)

Common Names in Filipino: Talakitok, Pampano, Apahan, Ampahan, Ba-ulo, Kulangi, Pampanong puti, Tihik bato, Tarakitok, Tarakito, Kulangi

4. Manila Ocean Park “Buhay na Karagatan” (Living Ocean)

7. Manila Ocean Park “Pating” (Shark)
Features several species of shark.

Small Shark “Pating” (Animalia Phylum)








12. Manila Ocean Park Fish Spa

Everyone should try and experience fish foot spa. I promise… you’ll love it. This Nibble Fish or Doctor Fish love to eat dead skin cells, it feels like ticklish but the process is not painful or harmful. It leaves your skin healthy grow, revealing smoother skin and miraculously the wound healed. Actually, the entrance to the Fish Spa is 120 pesos per person but Manila Ocean Park have an ongoing Christmas Promo wherein you only pay 500 pesos per person and that would already include the entrance to the Oceanarium, Fish Spa, and the Glass Bottom Boat Ride. Hurry and now avail now this special promo cause you’ll get to save more.



Results: I came out refreshed with baby soft feet, tan considerably reduced due to exfoliation. All the tingling had acted like massage and my feet felt very relaxed.

You can also enjoy the back of the Manila Ocean Park because it is opened to the breathtaking view of the Manila Bay. Manila Bay’s famously incandescent sunset would be quite an experience here. The park is opened to all those people who want to learn and experience diving and swimming with fishes.

Stripe Invasion

I DON'T USUALLY wear denim jeans, I don't find them comfortable. I'll wear them, but I'm usually not too happy with them. I can usually find a good fitting pair, but it still just doesn't feel right and more like kind of boring. I prefer dresses and would wear them every day if I could.

Here I am sipping again my favorite Mc Donald's Coke Float.



I bought these jeans last year and I only wore it once. The style isn't meant for me. Hmmmm... I am pretty impulsive buyer sometimes. So, when ripped jeans became fashionable, I got an idea...instead of buying a new pair I prefer to ripped this old jeans. Voila! I'am basically happy with the result! The boring jeans is now a stylish ripped jeans. I also folded the lower edge to add some look!




Yummy Mc Donald Burger! Haha... I eat like a monster!
