First time ❤

 
Dress: Dress for Chicks  Bag & Shoes: SM Department Store

There's always something special and magical about our First Time. From our first friend to our first kiss, first love, first job, first car we bought and so many other first experiences. These are the moments that will stay in our memory forever. The fact is everything we knew today was once a "new thing" to us. It marks the beginning/start of our personal evolution. Though it may not always be the best but it is usually the most intense and the most unforgettable. :)

 Just like my first ever out of the country trip which is in Hong Kong. Its a special graduation gift from my mom when I graduated in College (Thanks mom!). I'm proud o say that this trip only cost us around 20,000php or less. We took advantage of the promo fares from Cebu Pacific Air and stayed at a friends apartment. Hongkong is known for its clean and beautiful airport, good transportation, huge shopping malls, picturesque skyline and of course, Disneyland. I had the chance to see all of these even if we only stay for 3 days and  2 nights. I really had  a great time. This experience makes me realize that I really like to travel and explore the world. I promise myself to go back here but next time I'll be the one to treat my mom.

Casual Chic

 Jumpsuit & Sandals: Forever21  Necklace: Dress for chicks

I know some of you guys are wondering what kind of bra I'm wearing with this outfit or if I'm really wearing one lol. I'm usually wearing a seamless free bra for clothes like this. Gone are the days when girls wear tank tops and you can still see the strap of her bra (eww!). Free bra are very popular right now because you can use it to different kind of clothing styles (halter, racer back, spaghetti strap, sweetheart dresses, tube, etc.)

Style Tips:
Look effortlessly chic by wearing halter jumpsuit paired with sandals (or flat shoes) for a casual look. You may also add minimal jewelry that gives a maximum effect like this LOVE necklace. :)

Foodie Art by Samantha Lee

I'm not a fan of food photography because I only want to EAT foods not CAPTURE them (haha LOL!) but after seeing this beyond beautiful foodie artwork of Samantha Lee I was really amazed! Samantha is a Malaysian-based mom who makes whimsical, colorful and imaginative meals to encourage her daughters to eat foods. She started making food art in December 2008 (without having a culinary background). But with her creativity and passion she is now an "online food star" with more than 500,000 followers on Instagram.

PS. All Photos are from Samantha Lee's Instagram and Blog. :)

Chocolate Hills, Bohol :)


Chocolate Hills is the most famous tourist spot of Bohol .The hills are scattered throughout the towns of Carmen, Sagbayan and Batuan, and consist of 1,268 of the same general shape. It has been declared as the country's 3rd National Geological Monument in recognition of its special characteristics, scientific importance, uniqueness and scenic value.


If you are looking for a nature based experience, do not miss the Chocolate Hills! The 200+ steps up leading to the viewing point looks intimidating but they are totally worth it. You may also try the extreme and muddy atv ride for a closer look at the hills and the towns. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture this very picturesque scene!

Suzuki Motors x Rogue Magazine's Sea Expo 2011



A throwback post! Because I miss doing events and trade shows. :) I think this was my last project as a promotional model before I jumped into the corporate world. Promo modelling is not just-having-a-pretty-face job, you need to be flexible during events, always smile and look approachable, and study the brand/product that you'll be promoting. Promo models are here to increase sales and create a positive brand image. They make things more fun and more interesting! Lets just say your having a shit day then an attractive person greeted you and it makes you smile inside. Suddenly your shit day becomes less shitty. Yes, for a moment, they make you feel better about your life.



All photos were taken at Rogue Magazine's Sea Expo 2011. I was teenager back then. (tweenteen) Lol!
