Young at Heart

How do you all like my gyaru hairstyle? I love them, they are so cute :) I’m not going to care whether I’m too old for them, it makes me feel much younger. It’s always great to feel younger especially when I don’t want to get any older! Tee-hee! ... but I must admit I got a few stares with this ribbon on my head, haha, so it’s only great for photoshoots and for kids. Yay!

By the way, I got this knitted sweater from my favorite Anastasia Siantar during Bloggers United 3. <3

BFF Reunited Part 1

Seeing the face of my dear friend/college classmate/BFF after being separated for many years is an exciting feeling. You know how it feels when you've missed them. And then you see each other and memories come rushing back. Good times.

I live in Manila and Malou lives in Pampanga, she lives two hours away from me, we only talk on Facebook and sometimes were too busy to come into contact with each other. Janet lives with her husband in the US and she barely has time to facebook. One day, Malou texted me that Janet was here in the Philippines for a one week vacation and she's invited us for a Japanese dinner at Saisaki. So, that's perfectly good excuse to leave my work early. For my outfit, click HERE.


with my BFF: Janet and Malou
We fall into our old conversations easily and our comfort levels are still the same - somehow grew with distance but became more mature. 

After our dinner, we headed to Cowboy Grill in Malate for a live band, drink and dance. Ahh... what a fun night!




Me, Malou, Janet and her beautiful sister Juliet!
Thanks for the treat Ate Juliet! :)

Bloggers United 5

As I mentioned on my previous #ootd post, here's some pictures from the Bloggers United 5 last June 1 that was held at SMX Convention Center. This is a one day event that showcased both pre-loved and brand new stuff of over 50 local bloggers' on sale, as well as some of the Philippine's top fashion bloggers like Laureen Uy, Camille Co and Kryz Uy and celebrity fashion bloggers like Divine Lee, Maggie Wilson and Nicole Anderson.

I had so much fun with my cousins. I was really excited about the crowd, for sale items, atmosphere and everything. Too bad, I showed up late to the event because of my busy schedule that day, I didn't catch the whole program though my Pink Fashion was one of the donor of BU5. So, I just dropped by to say hello to Ms.Ana Gonzales and give the giveways loot bag while my cousins distributed my flyers, business cards and coupons.

Here are some highlights from the event.



Bloggers United is always a blockbuster hit!

B & W at BU5

That's something I was wearing to the BU5, Bloggers United 5 at SMX Convention Center last June 1. Pink Fashion dress, SM Parisian satchel bag, Primadonna shoes and Blazer from Wholesale-dress.net. I am so into black and white lately. I love the fact that it's a huge trend for Spring 2013, and it was on all the major runways. It always looks timeless. Well, I'll blog about the BU5 event on my next post!

I Miss You, on Father's Day


Fathers Day without my Father just doesn't seem right. Card shops with adverts in their windows, people rushing around buying presents, retailers telling us to get our Fathers Day presents here! Well I can't anymore. So instead, I just turn away and feel that sad hollow within me as my eyes well up yet again and I head off home. 
There's no one like My Dad, and he's not here to cuddle any more and tell me that I'm his best girl. He's not here to hold my hand and tell me it'll be all right. He's not here to celebrate Fathers Day with me, because he died. :'(

Nine months have passed
I’ll never forget the day
Mom rang to tell me
That you’d gone away

The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound

Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can’t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep

I’ve shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won’t give in

You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you

I was your first born
Daddy’s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world

I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect

I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar

I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again

I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend

We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you

Forever in my heart!

Zoobic Safari's NIGHT SAFARI

After our ultimate fun at Tree Top Adventure, we wanted to experience a wild night adventure in Zoobic Night Safari!, so we headed next to the one and only Tiger Safari in the Philippines, the Zoobic Safari.

It is also one of the Subic Bay's nature theme parks that offer visitors a different kind of adventure. The theme park main feature is its Tiger Safari where Tigers freely roam an enclosed area and  gave you a close encounter experience with the tigers and its babies.



Here is the entrance area where you can buy foods, plants and pets.

Bathroom and toilets were clean, unique and zoo-themed which was really fascinating.

First part of our park tour is through the Zoobic Park where we are introduced to different farm animals likes rodents, birds, and other animals that are endemic to the Philippines.


After the tour to the Zoobic Park, we led to the park’s Serpentarium which is located in an old bunker. Inside, different snake species are found including pythons which are commonly found in the country and other lizards.


Our tram train that leads us to other parts of the park.

The day tour would enable the visitor to see the animals clearer and to take better pictures but he perks of the night tour were the Night Safari Show, and that's what we wanted. The first one was the glow in the dark dancers, animal show with parade of animals then the fire poi dance while the next one was a tribal fire breathing dance. They were both highly entertaining.





Quickly after that, the tram train brought us to the Tiger Safari - the most exciting part! The tiger that we encountered, was already full from a day of eating chicken meat. The feeder took some moments teasing the tiger before the bloated tiger stood up and took a bite of those raw chicken meat.


The last stop of our tram train is at the Animal Muzoolum which is a small museum of different fossils and is also housed within an old bunker. From here, we continued the tour by walking to the Aeta’s Trail and we are guided by greyhound dog where we are invited to watch a short show performed by the Aetas. They perform different traditional dances like their dance for war and the monkey dance.

At the end of the trail, we enter the Croco Loco area which is dedicated to the park’s crocodiles. We walked through a metal path on top of a large den of crocodiles. 



If you want to experience a thrilling and rewarding close encounter with nature's best to offer, then visit Zoobic Safari. It will give you the opportunity to experience first hand having tigers surrounding and jumping on the vehicle you're in.
