One of my favorite places in the world is Thailand. I absolutely love the food, the beaches (Phuket is our favorite) and most of all – the people. The people feel very genuine and kind, super nice and welcoming which makes Thailand one of my favorite places but unfortunately, I experienced being scammed in Thailand for the very first time. I am sharing my experience because I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. The amount I lost is small compared to what others lose in a scam – but it is still my hard earned money so I am sharing my experience so others can learn from this. Feb 17 2023 On Feb 17, I messaged an Instagram online store called @rihanna_handicrafts to order hand-blocked Indian cotton. The seller was very friendly, she even sent me more fabric print options via Line and WhatsApp (number +66 98 067 4811). She had lovely fabric options so I was so excited to order. May 14 2023 On May 14, I finally made up my mind and placed an order of 15 meters of fabric. The order total and amount transferred was THB 2,300 to this bank account: Kasikorn Bankบัญชีกสิกรนะคะ 0641403628กสิกร.ซัยนับ สะมะยีตา…

The Voice finalist, Christina Grimmie, arrives in Manila I was so excited when I heard the news – YouTube sensation and The Voice finalist Christina Grimmie to come to Manila for Ayala Malls! I’ve been a huge fan ever since I pressed play on her “Just A Dream” cover with Sam Tsui back in 2010. I am actually listening to it right now and it never gets old Christina Grimmie to rock Ayala Malls! Now, Christina is here to rock different Ayala Malls and to mentor the finalists of IDE’AYALA! She placed 3rd in the US Edition of The Voice under the mentorship of Adam Levine – this girl is definitely reaching heights at a tender age of 20. It’s amazing!!! 🙂 Being interviewed by Boom Gonzales “Just go for it and do what you love.”, Christina tells Boom as he asks her for the secret to success.

Once In A Lifetime Prima Ballerina Realness Many little girls would love to slip into a blush pink pair of ballet shoes and a fluffy tutu with a polished hair bun – dreaming to be like Lisa Macuja. Having played the lead in all ballet productions for 30 years, prima ballerina Lisa Macuja will enchant everyone with a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t dare to miss a one-night only show: “Gold: Lisa Macuja—A Truly Classical Concert” on Oct. 4 at Aliw Theater in Pasay City! A fun-fact about Lisa: guess what you’ll find in her ballet bag? Knits? She surprisingly always carried a reliable Swiss Army knife. She has been carrying the same tool since her Russian dancing days and all around the world. She uses the scissors to sew ribbons on her pointe shoes, the knife for cutting the shanks of her dance shoes, a can opener for the canned varnish poured on her shoes, and a corkscrew for that champagne bottle that commemorate opening night. Truly a creative and resourceful mind! 🙂 Lisa Macuja GOLD on Oct 4 2014 On Oct. 4, in celebration of her 50th birthday, Lisa topbills “GOLD: LISA MACUJA – A Truly Classical Concert” at the Aliw Theater…

Go La Salle! For me, style has no boundaries. Fashion has no rules. You can wear pink with red if you want to although I highly don’t suggest that but if you feel like it then go for it! Today, I chose to wear green pants. Whoever said it looked weird on our coaching staff – hasn’t seen the female version of the uniform (this!). Lol – just kidding! But hey it’s not so bad 🙂 #Animootd Whenever I attend UAAP games, I see some people with the cutest white and green combinations. I encourage you guys to tag your UAAP ootd’s with #Animootd to show our support – through our outfits! Haha let’s do this! Just casually walking around in green pants So today, my outfit is inspired from our coaching staff’s uniform. A mix of green and white with a hint of brown/khaki – what do you think? Yuki Tansengco Lately, I’ve been looking for basics. You can never have enough basics in your closet – right? I’m happy I found this easy breezy Gap top from my mom’s pile. It’s a bit loose but that’s the point of feeling al fresco! GAP white sleeveless top | Vintage…

A Premium Experience *Cue in* They see me rollin’, they hatin’… Don’t you hate it when your “premium” treats can get pricey but since they’re SO good, you are willing to pay higher? But what if, you discover a biscuit that is SO good – yet SO affordable? 😉 Hansel Premium Bloggers Event I discovered a new favorite! I can’t believe it’s been in the market for almost 3 years now – where have I been! 🙁 Sabrina Tan top | Bershka trousers | Zara heels  I have always loved Hansel. Their mocha sandwich is the BEST! I even buy it in sari-sari stores on my occasional provincial trips. I was so excited when I learned about their latest release – Hansel Premium sandwiches! Hansel Premium  Just like the mocha one, this comes with a crunchy biscuit shell and flavorful filling. Available in Cheese and Peanut Butter flavors! When I first tried it, the cheese one tastes like Combos while the peanut butter is like Skippy! :)) With the Plump Pinay I love these two!!! With my fellow bloggers, we cruised around the Metro in a Hummer Limo! I can’t believe I experienced this kind of luxury and you can too by…
