in SM Megamall Most recently, I was pulling out tissues from a box when I watched the movie Kita-Kita. It was filmed in Japan and the intro scene caught my attention right away – because I spotted an Anello bag hanging on the wall! Find out why everyone is crazy for these bags! Good news – Anello is now available in Manila.

Ashark Club | Roast Suckling Pig Coming from a Chinese family (my dad is Chinese and my mom is Filipina), I’ve been exposed to a wide array of Asian dishes and topnotch Chinese cuisine. I was so excited when my friend Amy Peng shared to me that she, together with her husband, will be launching a premiere Chinese restaurant – Ashark Club!

Ford EcoSport Style Challenge Growing up, my mom would always take us to visit my grand parents who lived in Sampaloc, Manila. As a treat, we would take a jeepney to Quiapo or Divisoria on weekends and that’s where the magic began. Divisoria is one of my most favorite places to shop! Aside from it being known to have very cheap finds, their pieces are also surprisingly up to date with what you currently see in retail stores. So when I was tapped by Ford Philippines to do a “Style Challenge” in Divisoria – I was like BRING IT.

My “boob job” experience It all started when I was covering an event that promotes Breast Cancer Awareness & Women Empowerment – Chicdriven! The breast examination booth was free so I thought I’d give it a go – never hurts to get checked right? Semi-panic hit my nerves when the doctor said she felt something. I occasionally get sharp pains on my left boob – so I knew something was up but never had it checked. The doctor’s theory was backed up once I got a chest ultrasound and my results showed a solid mass (size of an almond). HALP!

You’ll surely love Pinkberry’s latest flavor! Pinkberry is one of my favorite go-to places for dessert. After dinner? Pinkberry. Catch up with a friend in the afternoon? Pinkberry. Craving to treat yourself? Pinkberry. Pinkberry to me is such a delectable dessert and since its yoghurt, it doesn’t come out so sinful.

I was never the sporty sneaker-lovin’ person but whenever I find myself shuffling through airports, there is only one type of footwear I wear: SNEAKERS. They provide the comfort without sacrificing the style so let me show you how these style gurus take a sporty-ootd to a new level!

My Top 5 Ukay-Ukay Tips For A Successful Thrifting Adventure When I was in college (Animo La Salle!), I remember religiously spending my lunch breaks wandering around thrift stores along Taft Avenue. I had a knack for buying pre-loved clothing and even my neighbors’ clothes through garage sales. Maybe because as a student, it was the most cost-effective way to keep up with fashion and I liked wearing unique pieces. So when I was received a message from entertainment journalist Marie Lozano to do a “Celebrity Look For Less” – I said, “GAME!” 🙂
