Raffles Design + Benefits Salon

Been going to lots of meetings nowadays for the upcoming Bloggers United Summer Bazaar. It's tiring but worth it! Wish us luck!:) So Ana and I went to Raffles Design Institute last week  to meet with it's owner and their marketing person Meg. Nosebleed galore but it went great! Finally got the chance to visit & tour the campus. :) But first, what I wore!

Thrifted top, Posh Wardrobe trousers, +-x% collar tips, from Mich mom shoes

It's funny how Ana and I ended up wearing almost the same outfit! Same peg lang. Hehe. We both wanted to look sleek and chic for the meeting. Pumped up an otherwise classic outfit with my new collar tips from PlusMinusTimesDivide and my leopard heels which was a hand me down from Mich's mom!

Here are the rest of the photos!

That ends our tour! RAFFLES is an international design school that is relatively new (they've only been here 2010) but already making a mark. Seriously, they have the best facilities and teachers so kahit mahalia super worth it naman. They don't offer short courses so you really need to be 100% decided if you enroll. Visit their website for more infos!:)

After RAFFLES, Ana and I decided to kill time by you guessed it right, eating na naman. Haha. Decided to try out Sweet Bella cafe this time. It's a little pricey but as you know walang pricey pricey sa taong super mega gutom!

Holiday in Cebu: Day 1 & 2

I'm chillin' here in the most chill city ever. Heh. As always, I'm having a blast here in Cebu! Staying in Gran Prix again (I know I said never again) but I didn't have much choice coz all the other nicer hotels are fully booked. But it's not so bad either (room's super small though, feels like i'm in a balikbayan box!). Anyway, met some blogger friends today! Here are photos from today and yesterday...

 

 

Heir Clothing polka top, SM skirt, Diva gold cuff, Closet Chic zebra print bag, Grendha flats

This sheer polka top is just so pretty noh? Love the blue/white combination. It goes perfectly well with this red skirt I bought from SM. Okay, for this trip I didn't bring any heels or wedges coz I thought I'd be walking all day. It's a good thing I brought my cutie patootsie Grendha peeptoe flats! Saved my mini gimik life. Lol.

So I spent my 1st night in Cebu with manila friends. Landed at around 10:30pm and then headed straight to the meeting place. Came home na at around 5am! Bongga. Too bad wasn't able to take photos coz bawal daw. May magagalit. Lols. And here are photos from the previous day...

That's it for now. Long day tomorrooooooow..and more photos! Will be going on a trip with Mich's family--zipline and food trip and then will be meeting up with blogger friends at night. I'll be attending their Sendong fundraising event! If you're reading this and you're here in Cebu, hope you could drop by tomorrow at Kartzone, 8pm! There would be a pop up bazaar plus drink all you can for P200. There would be bands playing too. 

Let's all help our brothers and sisters affected by Sendong. See you there!:)
