Ha[u]te Me Not

Hello guys! Here's a snapshot of what I wore this week. This outfit reminds me of what characters from Koreanovelas would wear to work on an average day. Personally, I think this would make a perfect back to school outfit since both pieces can be matched with other items you might have in your wardrobe. The top is from H&M , and the skirt is from Chicabooti . And in case you were wondering, I wore this cutesy outfit for a Ramen run at a local Mitsuyado Sei-men . 😊

Hi guys! So I am here to review this new app called Samsung Circo . This has been launched early this year in the Philippines, and so far it has over a thousand downloads in the Google Playstore. So what makes this app worth the install? See below. For starters, I want to stress that I am not affiliated with Samsung in anyway other than being one of this app's players. Secondly, this post is not sponsored at all. So let us proceed with the review. So what is Samsung Circo ? This is a free gaming app launched by Samsung Asia for the Philippine Market. None of the mini games involve any fees (yes, you heard me) so playing and winning this game just makes use of your time, strategy, and tactile skills. Once you enter the app, you will be greeted by this notification screen, and a preview of this week's prizes. Tournaments start on Mondays 8:00 AM Philippine Standard time and ends on Sundays 12:00 MN. Note: you need wifi, 3g, or lte internet connection to play this app. ...

I have recently been contacted by Standfor Initiative to bring you an exclusive preview and pre-sale of their first collection. Standfor is a new footwear brand that unites both fashion and meaning. And I am happy to introduce this special storefront where all of you can shop for their most coveted items. The store is kept minimalistic to draw the eyes towards the detail of each piece. As you can see, each shoe is made like a work of art. It is crisp, simple, and ingeniously designed. I think normcore addicts will be inlove with these. I personally love the design of the Leaf shoe collection for Women. It's very vibrant, and is an instant eye catcher. These would go great with boyfriend jeans and a gray pocket tee. Be sure to check this out when you can since they only have a few weeks into their pre-sale period. You may visit the store HERE . As always, stay golden! :) **Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post.

My Tagaytay Staycation in six frames. (1) Waking up to the cool and breezy air in Tagaytay for my ACLS workshop. One's never too young to learn how to save another person's life. (2) Smelling the sweet coffee and sampling delectables at Bag of Beans . This place is always full of regulars and tourists seeking some out of city solace. (3) The lush green wall by Pamana sets the mood of what to expect when you dine in this legacy. (4) Pamana's interiors just mirrors the authenticity of its food and its vibe. You should check this place out when you visit Tagaytay. (5) Having a little Karaoke fun by our hotel pool. Never too busy for a sing-a-long sesh. (6) Totally unrelated, but here's a snap of my latest craving. Matcha Green Tea Tiramisu by Watami , Mall of Asia. Hope you guys are having a great week. Be sure to leave me a note of what you want me to talk about next in my upcoming posts. I am really loving ...

Until a year ago, I thought that I could keep eating whatever I want and still keep the same slim shape thanks to what we call the Asian genetics. But I found that as I was getting *gulp* older, my body could no longer support the lazy lifestyle I have been gloriously living in for so long - and that meant it was time to get whipped back into shape. I was never the athletic one in school. I did okay in PE class, but I tend to endure it for the grades alone. The only sport I did well in was swimming, and other than that, forms of exercise that involved me and sweat, have always been an unlikely scene. An actual pie chart of how much time I spend relaxing vs how much time I spend for exercising It took me half a year to consider Hot Yoga. I never seemed like the type to do this, and I felt that I would lose interest in this just like how I did with the others before. I remember my first class. I was 10 minutes late for it, and I was afraid that my instructor would ask...
