Dress for a Cocktail Event

I am having a hard time finding the perfect cocktail dress for year end’s party. I need a new cocktail dress, something suitable for a semi-formal occasion, preferably black, not too flashy, above-the-knee length, plus size dress and most importantly, something not expensive! Help! I don’t want to buy from malls since they really cost a lot besides, I’m quite busy these days and  it’s not really easy to find my size. 2 years ago, me and some friends tried to get made-to-order gowns from Divisoria but failed at it. The gowns weren’t done on time, looks like he really rushed doing them, they turned out ugly! Another option is to order online, quite easy and there are a lot of gowns to choose from,  only problem  is that I might end up paying thousands for the shipping alone. Haaay, if you know some good designers within QC you can refer, PM me pls. Thanks!

Halloween Trick or Treat Costume Ideas For Kids

So what cool costume do you like for your kids to wear this Halloween?

How about this super cute baby troll costume?


I want this adorable looking baby troll. Sooo cute, I actually got flustered when I saw him the first time, his tiny frame made him all the more shocking than he already was, but among all the kids who came to the office, he was my favorite! I’m liking this concept. Aint he the cutest? So cute I want to put him on display.


How about this zombie that never goes out of style? This costume might be DIY and it actually looks rather easy to make, props to the parents for being creative!


And here’s another cutie in a pirates costume.


There are hundreds of costume ideas but if you want something simple and not scary for your kids, try a policeman, fireman, soldier or equestrian costume set (complete with equestrian helmets).


OMG Shinchan came to life and walked to my workplace!!! Super adorable I want to pinch those chubby cheeks!


And the most popular trick or treat costume for little girls – Tinkerbell! You’ll never go wrong with this costume. All you need is a nice fluffy gown,  a tiara, wand and wings and you’re good to go!

Trick or Treat is one of those events that I always anticipate in the office. Loveee seeing these adorable kids in costume having fun from all the goodies they get. They all look so cute and happy.

Happiness and Energy

Starting today, I am going to:

- eat on time (no eating after 6pm)
- eat less carbo (stop myself from being a riceyvore)
- eat slowly
- eat portions of fruits and veggies (esp. camote, broccolli and carrots – the healthiest food in this world)
- reduce salt/sugar intake (so no more adobo? waaaah)
- drink lots of water
- take Vit C and Iron
- walk 10000 steps a day (stresssssssss!)
- stop sitting around too long
- get enough sleep, 7-8 hours (everyday, i keep telling myself to sleep early, so I wont have any problems waking up next morning, but when night comes, i always fail and end up sleeping very late instead)
- take a short nap during the day (this is rather easy for me hehe i do this all the time!)
- lastly, think about happy happy happy thoughts (like rainbows and unicorns lol)

Yeay for trying to live a healthy lifestyle!

Summer 2012 Come Faster!!!

Summer is my most favorite season of the year, that’s because I spend almost half of my available VLs during that time. Arghh, I can’t wait for summer to come so I can go home!

Some areas of my province are still unexplored. There are rivers, forests, hidden waterfalls and caves that are yet to be discovered. Last summer, my bros and I, along with some cousins, planned to visit those places. I wanted so much to do it but my 2 bros couldn’t come home on time, due to prior engagements, so I mostly spent my time at home sleeping, watching movies, playing with Inday and sometimes, going to the beach to enjoy the sea.

Hoping we could still do it next year. It’d be awesome if we could drive an RV motorhome (those huge cars that has a built-in toilet, shower, bed, complete with a refrigerator, TV etc.) then spend a night or 2 in an isolated place. Must be fun and exciting! Ahh when I get rich, I am surely going to buy a motorhome (along with a motorhome insurance) and travel many places!

How Do You Cope Up With Stress

We all face various stresses in life and while others find easy ways to deal with it, others suffer a great deal handling them, some even resort to bad vices like smoking and drug abuse to cope up, and when the latter happens, tragic follows.

Misuse of drugs, regardless if prescribed or not, is very dangerous. Just look at Michael Jackson’s case, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Judy Garland and even Elvis Presley – all these popular celebs died a tragic death because of drug misuse and/or overdose. I don’t understand how they’ve become victims of
prescription drug abuse addiction when they seem to have every good things in life – fame, career, money etc. I guess because rich and more successful people have more stresses and pressures in life, and they aren’t exactly happier than us.

So what do you do when under stress and great pressure? Share you thoughts!

I Shall Not Sacrifice Sleep Again

Read HERE:

Inadequate sleep (less than 7 or 8 hours a night) has been tied to many different health problems, including obesity, diabetes and cancer.

Ok, I shall not sacrifice sleep again. I shall not sleep late trying to catch up with my favorite shows – RUNNING MAN esp. I shall not sleep late watching Japanese pranks on youtube. I shall not sleep late reading online stuff etc. I shall not sacrifice my sleep again, ever!!!

PS. my phone is dead so I can’t be receiving any of your texts, just in case. For concerns needing immediate response, PM me – here, Google+, YM, FB or Twitter.

PS2. Now when I think about it, I actually spend more time wandering around world wide web than sleeping.

Stress!

I went to the grocery this afternoon and woowww I was so schocked to find out how expensive fruits and vegetables are! Imagine, 3 pcs of eggplants is worth 38pesos; 2 pc of sayote is 34; 1k of camote is 80pesos; 1pc of bittermelon is almost 50pesos! So expensive they give me stress! Makes me want to puff a swisher sweet cigar lol. Why is everything sooo expensive?!

Haaay, just when I’ve finally decided to live a healthy lifestyle that’s when these prices rise up. I ended up buying canned goods instead.

How To Remove Your Blog From Google’s Malware Database

Whaaat to doooo??! How do I remove this malware warning that’s badly affecting my traffic? You, chatwing!!! I knew it! I shouldn’t have installed you. Now I don’t know how to remove this blog from Google’s malware database. HELP! Who do I need to contact regarding this? My webhost or domain provider?

Sure I could do a restore except that I’m probably going to end up killing this blog again.

After running Google’s site diagnostics, I deleted the chatwing code I installed last month but I’m still getting the same error when opening my blog. Arghh brainbleed.

Why I Love My Cubao Neighborhood

It hasn’t been long since I moved to Cubao and oh boyyyy I am loving it! I was hesitant to relocate first because I have lived many years of my life in a semi-rural area of Valenzuela City and my attachment to it is like how trees are rooted down its soil – cannot be removed easily- – besides CUBAO is notorious for things like snatchers and pickpockets, diba? Ok, Valenzuela is part of Metro Manila but the small barrio where I lived, isang kandirit na lang Bulacan na so very laid  back ang lifestyle doon, not very provincial but I had neighbors living in bahay kubos, and my younger days were spent playing in green green grass of home LOL and catching snails in the pond and climbing aratilis trees. If I remember it right, my first SM mall visit and first try at McDo was when I was in HS already hahaha. In short, I am not City girl at all.

But things changed. Living in Cubao is not at all bad. I love the neighborhood where I live right now – very quiet, hinde binabaha, with lots of trees and it’s walking distance to many malls, araneta coliseum, grocery stores, places of gimikans, farmer’s market. It’s also very near Camp Crame where you can jog/ride a bike It is super accessible to all points of Luzon!

Best of all, it’s just a ride away from my workplace.

My only problem is the expensive house rental I pay every month which is 3x almost bigger than what I pay from my previous apartment. Sakit sa bulsa, but if you think about it, I spend less money now for transpo and I am also spared from traffic everyday so it’s all good.

I love you Cubao, I wanna marry you! I don’t like to give up on you yet, but it looks like I maybe moving back to Valenzuela in the coming days/weeks/months/years, I don’t know yet. Bahala na si Batman.
