Ha[u]te Me Not

Hello darlings! I've gone to Hongkong with a few my friends around this time last year. It was such a fun time for us that I do tend to look back at that time and wish we could go on a trip overseas again. If you and your pals want to go on a trip abroad, I highly recommend Hongkong for its close proximity and for the number of fun activities that you and your friends can enjoy. The best part of the trip, for me, was the wide variety of food. We enjoyed both fast food and local cuisines, and I think I can vouch for me and my friends when I say thay the best meal we've had was at Cafe De Coral. Of course, I can't read Cantonese - but you wouldn't miss that red and yellow sign board that meant good food was near. I wish I could have taken more food photos but I'll leave you with this cute Mcdonalds meal we had on our last day here. Yum! See you next time with more travel photos. Let me know if you like these kinds of posts and I'll be ...

Hello my little darlings!  Sorry for not posting anything for the past few months. I have been hooked on microwave popcorn and Netflix for so long that I forgot to update this little space. Speaking of binge watching, I have been enjoying streaming the latest episode of Riverdale on my TV thanks to Google Chromecast and Netflix. The Google Chrome cast is a tiny portable gadget that turns any ordinary TV into a smart TV in four easy steps: 1. Connect one end of the Chromecast to any HDMI port on your TV. 2. Connect the USB end into the power adaptor and into a power outlet, or just simple connect the USB into any USB ports in your TV. The Chromecast has a lengthy cord that can be perfectly hidden behind the TV by adjusting the straps. 3. Download the Google Cast app on your mobile phone or tablet and set up the chromecast to connect to your home wifi. 4. Download streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu or Youtube and start watching your favorite shows. If this doe...

Every year, I would always look forward to writing a list of things I would like to achieve for the year in my journal. From planning trips with my girls to participating in various work activities, I would carefully plot these out in my planner and happily tick them out of my to-do list. And every year, without fail - my BDJ Power Planner helps me keep myself organized throughout planning and carrying out all of my pursuits. Having wanted to accomplish more charitable work this year, I was very glad when I opened my inbox and saw an invite to this year's BDJ Fair . This event is where Bellas come together to have fun and raise funds for causes that support and empower the everyday Filipina. Now on their 11th year and with over 60,000 members and counting, the BDJ Team is continuing their mission to make a difference in the lives of Filipinas through encouraging us Filipinas to overcome the waves of life by having unshakeable trust in our hearts and pushing ourselves forward ...

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 . 😊
