Just Another Day

THIS MONTH was absolutely horrible, in Philippines the weather was stormy, cloudy with strong winds and less sunshine. I like outdoor photos, because I love the natural light, green grasses and blue skies. So, If I wanted to take some photos outside I had to be prepared to suffer and to risk walking in a rain shower :(




The day we took this photos, the weather was kind enough, quite hot and with a beautiful sun. I took the chance to take my outfit shots, wearing my pink jeans I bought over a year ago and had worn them just once, because I told you, I'm not a big fan of jeans... do you remember? But I love the color of this jeans and I decided to combine it with blue-green top that my mom made for me some months ago, and I liked the result.



This Polo Ralph Lauren bag was a gift from my husband, bought when he was on a trip to Hong Kong. Can you imagine the heavenly joy I felt? He really knows my favorite!

American Dream

THURSDAY NIGHT was so much fun! I went to Trinoma with Apple to meet my good friend Malou who I hadn't seen for over 4 years.
When we first arrived, we took some outfit photos at the upper ground of the mall, where you can find a Japanese inspired garden with mini-lagoon.





Trinoma (Triangle North of Manila) is a large shopping mall in Quezon City. The place to go if you seek refuge in a refreshing, relaxing ambiance and a breath of fresh air, as this up-and-coming Ayala mall provides customers a perfect escape from the bustling North Avenue and EDSA scene.

When we went there, I noticed that even non-shoppers (students, families, office workers) simply sat, chat or have souvenir pictures beside the pond and the bamboo trees.

Next up, we took a trip to Starbucks for some afternoon coffee. I don't drink coffee but I love their Chocolate Cream Chip Frappuccino. I always order the same thing every time I go to any Starbucks, haha.

I had a fabulous time meeting and hanging out with Malou! It was so refreshing and fun to hang out with someone who shares so many similar thoughts and hopes.

Plaid Will Never Go Out of Style

LAST WEEK we went for a walk in the Intramuros (the city of walls) and I thought I had to take photos at one of my favourite places in Manila! It's such a relaxing place where you can have your free time, read the news, study or talk to a friend and take some photographs, too.



I don't know what it is but plaid shirts just make happy. I bought this plaid shirt online last year but I don't know how to wear it to look good, until I found this denim short with a plaid design on the bottom. And now... this is my STYLE!




A plaid shirt is a classic staple clothing item that has endured through the decades. In the 1950s James Dean wore plaid, while the plaid shirt around the waist look was made popular by Kurt Cobain in the 1990s. Today, plaid shirts are mainstream and can be incorporated into a wide variety of different looks, from preppy school girl outfits to alternative hipster ensembles. It means, plaid will never go out of style. Agree?

One Sunday at Brownies Unlimited

I WENT TO THE MALL last weekend with my cousin Rose Ann to go shopping. I saw a particular stall selling different flavored brownies and I was really enticed by their display. As I get closer to the stall, I am greeted by the smell of Brownies Unlimited! The smell itself is great advertising already! I don’t like anything sweet, such as candy, ice cream, cake, chocolates, chips or even brownies... but the stall looks inviting with tubs of different brownies all laid out on the tray.


I’ve also noticed their display of cupcakes which is really pleasing to the eyes. I guess they came up with this line of products due to the emergence of popularity of cupcakes lately.


Brownies Unlimited have more than just brownies of all kinds under their belt, they have sambo and silvana, tiramisu, cheesecake, chocolate cakes, cupcakes and mocha frostees. It’s great that they have assorted packs. Of course you’d wanna taste the variety of brownies that they have. I decided to buy a dozen and took some pics. I cut each piece into two so that Rose Ann can also taste each one of them.

Brownies Unlimited's Box of Brownies make really good presents, too! You can choose from a variety of brownies and buy a single piece for Php 15 or have the pre-assorted packs which come in boxes of 4's, 6's, and 12's. You will love the packaging and the gift tag that served as something to secure the box, so nice with different colors to compliment the brown box. It become more attractive with the pink circles. They have stalls in several malls, so it's easy to buy from them. At the same time, these brownies are absolutely delicious! They're really moist and they just melt in your mouth. I love them and I'm sure your friends will love them as well. What makes it the best is that they are prepared fresh daily, and delivered to all their branches daily(even the far reaches of Visayas including Cebu, Bacolod and IloIlo), now that is what I call dedication and total product perfection.



I am proud to say that with their years of expertise on their brownies, you can be assured of their freshness and yes there are absolutely no preservatives.

On the table

Walnut Swirl is a fudge brownies decorated with cream cheese filling, according to the waitress, is the best-selling variant. It has chopped walnuts and yema (custard) on top. PHP 20.00

Choc o'chip is a fudge brownies with chocolate icing, topped with chocolate chips. PHP 15.00

Rocky Road is a fudge brownies topped with marshmallows and cashew nuts, decorated with choco icing. PHP 15.00

Silvanas is a round meringue balls with choco butter cream icing coated with chocolate butter cake crums. Sambos is a round meringue with butter cream icing coated with vanilla butter cake crumbs. PHP: 27.00 each/2pcs for PHP50.00

Did you know:
  • that brownies originated from a baker's attempt to save a fallen cake from going to waste?
  • Brownies Unlimited has been in business for twenty years, it started on 1988, now it can be found in almost every nook and corner of every mall around the country.
This and more trivia can be found at Brownies Unlimited website... go on, I swear it is much cooler than it looks.

*You can be found Brownies Unlimited in almost every nook and corner of every mall!

ORANGE is the color of summer. I'm such a lucky girl because I live in a tropical island like the Philippines where summer never ends.



While the weather is always warming up, I had a lot of time to warm up my wardrobe collection with beautiful orange items! Orange is known as a power color and is associated with the warmth of the sun- so with the summer season officially here, it’s the perfect color to add to my life.




The vivacious of orange is the perfect color for my summer wardrobe.

Morning Has Broken

ONE MORNING we decided to head to the Bay to walk around in the great outdoors. As the early morning sun bursts through the trees and water lilies, illuminating the water with its heavenly glow. I love how the silhouettes of the lilies and foliage in this photographs.



The morning sun can give you a healthier tan by providing Vitamin D for your skin, keeping your skin soft and supple.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.




I mentioned here that this dress is handmade by the worlds best dressmaker... my MOM! *wink*
