Manchester is a city straight out of Renaissance fantasy mixed with a contemporary vibe and eclectic lifestyle. It’s an ideal place for the solo traveller, family holiday trippers, lovers, or friends looking for that one-of-a-kind experience.
It’s official: PLETHORA is this year’s Greenwich Ultimate Bandkada.
A great number of Filipinos struggle without a permanent roof under their heads to call their home, or do have a home yet is lacking in the basic amenities that would provide them an adequate standard of living, such as electricity.

I will be rushing blog posts starting today because next week I'll be going to La Union for seven days.
Ruth:
Sure ka? Ako kasi pang out of country na ang ganun!
Me: Actually di din ako sure!
I realized that this will be the looongest local trip that I will be engaging in. It's actually a three-part blog event, and although there are no pressures and I can just say no, I wanted to challenge myself. The introvert in me is making me anxious now, but I am excited for what this trip will bring to me in the coming days.
But before that, here's a little life update! I decided to (finally) dispose my Jurassic Personal Computer to create space for my craft materials:
As I grow older and hopefully wiser, I realized that loving yourself doesn't mean you have to stop at that. Life is all about movement, with change as the only thing constant.
Snow Caps supports women in their quest to find better versions of themselves. Not in a dissatisfied way, but to love ones self by still seeking growth and improvement.
In line with that, Snowcaps held a #BetterMe event last September 13 at the Makati Shangrila Hotel's Sage Bar.
Can I share a little secret? My dad and I LOVE our "oats-caldo" for breakfast and merienda! Haha.
It's a simple, healthy recipe we do with Quaker Oats.
Yesterday, I caught myself going around stores to "visualize" my dream space for Simple House. I know this is a long shot from where the business is standing now, but I can't help it! It keeps me going whenever I am surrounded with inspiration.
Just this morning, I learned about MoodBoard Manila, a space planning and design consultancy firm.
Shakey's decided to find a special someone who will best represent what they stand for and the special connection they have with their guests. And that special someone is a self-confessed Shakey’s fan himself.... Luis Manzano!
I am so invested in the Air Asia Travel Photographer 2016 contest now, feeling ko I am part of the whole contest! Haha! I loved seeing the entries of my dear friend and pambato Dave Poblete during their final leg in Macau, no less! I suppose they change the location so visa won't be an issue? Anyway, back to the contest! Sharing Dave's shots, along with my final blog interview with him.
Landscape:
The timing was perfect. One of my childhood friends needed to go to Puerto Princesa to swiftly renew her passport for incoming travels (sadly, I learned that this is much easier than waiting for a slot here in Metro Manila). Without going much into details, my friend stumbled upon the right people prior our flight, so our trip ended up to be just pure vacation!
Before I knew it, the long weekend came and I was ready to fly back to paradise (sorry for the lack of better term, paradise sounds so cheesy but oh well! Haha!).
Recently I conveniently bought this red Fuji XA2 case via Shopee. I like that they offer Cash On Delivery, which I availed of course. I super love camera's new look!
Anyway, a bit too late on the news BUT at least this means more shopping.. Mark the date, September 9, as Shopee holds the 9.9 Mobile Shopping Day! This will be your chance to avail discounts and free shipping on this shopping mobile app!
It's been a while since I last made a blog post on my OOTDs. My blog friends and I talked about this a few weeks ago (hi Pax, Trice, and Ava!), and I realized that although nawawalan ako ng sasabin every time I post my outfit on my blog hehehe -- I actually suddenly missed it! This is "old school" fashion blogging, back during the time when people still exchange links and multiple comments on each other's blogs. There was no Instagram yet!
Anyway, a month ago I received the new Huawei P9 - dubbed as the ULTIMATE camera phone because of its collaboration with Leica. I like the convenience of having everything in one gadget! It's hard for me to juggle too many things, I sometimes tend to leave one of them or minsan nahuhulog ko pa, huhu!
The moment I received my P9, I immediately unboxed it so I can put its camera to test! My first #NoFilter post on Instagram:
Sharing some of my other shots (OOTDs, food, selfies, and more!) below. All photo with just minor brightness / contrast / sharpen editing, and no filter!
And the ball keeps on rolling for Avon's year-long 130th anniversary celebration! Presenting: Beautiful Escape, a collection of three vibrant and exhilarating fragrance mists that will inspire you to live life to the fullest, and tick of adventures on your bucket list!
