Been listening to Coldplay on repeat!:) It's because I heard Champ (Of Hale) sing this song during our Bands Magazine shoot 2 weeks ago. I love how he sang it (kainlove lang forever), now I'm addicted. Haha. Anyway, I'm not sure if you know, but I was chosen as one of 7 For All Mankind's influencer/ambassador! I don't know how this happened, but I'm just thankful for this opportunity. :) Finally got to choose an outfit from the store last week! Will post that next, but for now here's what I wore to my 7FAM visit at Greenbelt!:)
Wearing my new favorite denim shirt from Next Jeans! You all know how crazy I am for chambray/denim shirts. I love the wash of this shirt, ombre-ish! :) Told ya they've got nice stuff!:) Fresh freshan lang my peg, so I wore muted colors--pastel pants from Jellybean and nude colored heels--with it. :)The bag on the other hand is a new buy. I wanted a bag where my Olympus will fit, found one in Charles & Keith but it's P3k! So I went around and found this bag in SM Depstore. It's half the price and all my things (camera included) fits. Plus, it has secret compartments and pockets. Loveee. :)
Photos from my 7fam trip! More photos on my next post:)
with Ed and Tin
with 7FAM Greenbelt's store manager! Thank you!:)
Thanks 7FAM and to Connect!:) I know it's raining like hell since yesterday, hope you're all safe and dry. Praying for all those who are in despair. Always keep safe loves. As for me, pullouts galore tomorrow. Flooded streets and all. I love my job, i love my job.
Hey guys, I'll keep this short coz I need to force myself to sleep in 5 minutes. I also feel sad, still, because of yesterday's shoot (wherein we were neglected to death even if it's OUR feature, *sigh*). This week has been a week of disappointments--with work, friends, people. So I'll just leave you guys with fun Instagram photos from last week and this week. Smile:)
With Champ! SURREAL. UNREAL. One of my rare starstruck moments. Heh. Bagay kami noh? Kumontra mababaog. Jk!
And here's a funny photo Mich posted on facebook!
Our stylish kalan. I absentmindedly left the fedora hat there after I brushed my teeth and forgot about it!
That's all for now! Need to get up at 9am tomorrow for the continuation of our shoot + ABS for Karylle's Saturday outfit. Will continue my posts tomorrow. I have a pending Back to the 90s Part 2 blog entry, watch out for it!:) Have an amazing weekend:)
Here's another round of important and exciting announcements from your favorite brands:)
1.) Gold Dot's New Collection, MARINE!
GOLD DOT's latest collection. It's our Marine Collection and we've already released 3 marine-inspired heels.
The Fynn Platforms (inspired by algae ) , The freya Boots (with its
octopus-like straps and seagreen color) , and the Fran Wedges(aquarium
like body). My personal fave is fran because it gives an illusion that
your feet are floating when worn. There are walls around the base which
partly covers the feet and slim straps that holds them.

7.) New Culinary School - Metropolitan Enhancement Academy
The
MEA offers a 10-month program that’s intensively prepared to cover
everything that 2-year programs offer. This gives the students the
benefit to start early in their culinary career and acquire all
knowledge and skills, not to mention, the trainers of the students are
definitely world-class. In fact, one of them was a contender to
America’s Top Chef. Best of all, the cost of studying is very low and
even includes the books, materials and uniforms that the students will
need throughout the course.
What makes Metropolitan Enhancement Academy different?
First
and foremost is that MEA offers a 10-month course and 6-days short
courses, both that can entirely fit your busy schedule. Most culinary
schools offer courses in 8-months, which is considered too short to
cover all kinds of cuisine, or a 2-year program, which is considered to
be too long if you immediately want to start your culinary career. But
with MEA, you learn all cuisines and skills within this 10-months
intensive course.
Second, other culinary schools often do their
work in groups due to the lack of kitchen materials available. With MEA,
you not only get your own materials but all work/exercises are done
individually. This allows you, the student, to master all skills to
become the best chef there is.
Last but not the least: The very
low tuition fee of the school. Normally, culinary schools are expensive
and the amount you pay doesn’t even include the books and uniform that
the students are going to use. With MEA, the tuition fee already covers
that! Hassle free and affordable!
Had a wonderful time last night with fellow bloggers as we discovered the newly opened Thai resto--Mango Tree Bistro. It was different from our usual events coz it was an intimate sit down dinner. Narration through photos. :)
glittery top - French Connection, polka shorts - PINKaholic, pink blazer - thrifted, heels - Asian Vogue
satchel - Chicify, white bracelet - Les Roux, belt bracelet - Mauve, polka watch - Aldo
Okay, so I was supposed to wear my Iconique wide leg pants but I ran out of time to change, so I just wore what I was already wearing from the salon--my highwaist polka shorts. I just changed my white polo to a glittery tanktop (so it would be nightout/dinner appropriate haha) and threw on a nude pink blazer. Wore my favorite accessories to enhance the whole outfit. I think this necklace sent by BUBBLES is the icing on the cake. Seriously guys, you should check out this accs store. The necklaces are so much prettier in person and they certainly give any outfit that much needed oomph! Also wore my Chicify satchel..coz I'm obssessed with the color & the convenience of satchel bags (i don't have to dig deep unlike my other bags LOL). Loving my chunky heel shoes too! Even the receptionists in our apartment think they're cuuuuute. Heard their comments when I was on my way to the elevator. Haha.
I'm blabbing, I know. Here are the rest of the photos!
Went to Studio Zen Katipunan to avail of their unlimited blowdry/curl promo of P990/month.

love this girl!:)
Before I continue with our group photos, I'm sharing with you guys the food we were served. Every dish was superb! I love the presentation, color & taste. Of course. If you're a reader of my blog, you'd know that I love love love Thai food!
special menu for bloggers;)
Thod Mun Goong - Shrimp cakes with sweet chili dip (everyone's fave!)
Tom Yum Goong - Spicy sour soup with shrimps & herbs (my fave! it's spicy so don't do that slurping thing when you drink soup haha or you will cough to death)
Som Tum Thai - green papaya salad! i love that it doesn't swim in sauce and it's not too sweet or sour.
my plate - la lang. haha
i love this! Thai Iced Tea. tastes like Naicha:)
Talay Prik Thai Dum - stir fried seafood with black pepper sauce --the sauce is sweet and the seafood cooked to perfection. Mich will love this:)
steamed jasmine rice --I finished mine! It's perfect! You know I hate uncooked weird textured rice.
Phad Thai Jay - I like mixing it before eating. I love how the noodles & the other ingredients tastes when mixed together. Texture is great too. Not dry or sloppy :)
Panang Nua - red curry beef with lime leaves. I love the sauce it's addicting! Well I love curry so I'm biased hehe.
Gai Ta Krai Yang - signature grilled chicken w/ thai dipping sauce. Do you know that they're one of the few restos who serve this dish on that stick (which I forgot what's called hehe). Love the plating ha!:) And the sauce is sooo delicious. The chicken is perfect too.
Chef Jonas explaining the dish and serving it to us one by one. Aww:)
Khao Niew Mamuang - sticky rice with coconut cream & mangoes. I still dream about this, I swear. The mnagoes are a little sour but Joe explained that it's really supposed to be like that. It's supposed to contradict the sweetness of the rice & coconut sauce. You can however ask for sweet mangoes if that's what you prefer.
Overall, I would give them a 9/10 rating. Love the food but it was a little hot inside so we were kinda perspiring. Heeh. But I would definitely go back ASAP with Mich this time. :)
