Happy Holidays Everyone!

I know I have been soooo lazy writing blog posts for the past 2 years. I still have pending travel diaries to post from 2 years ago. But I really cant bring myself to write them. I may be either lazy or bitter that all my plans for the past two years have been thrown to waste. Travels to Dumaguete, Siquijor, El Nido and Siargao are still on my drafts. I wrote all the first few paragraphs for them. 

Sorry if you're only seeing mostly promotional or random topics on here. I'll try to write more next year.. hopefully... I can't promise anything though. I am really one of those who writes when they are inspired or excited. Writing those travel diaries for my blog just makes me sad, honestly, so I don't think it's time for me to write them now. Also, I wont be writing any year end post like I did every year in the past.
But worry not about me, I am doing good. I'm just prioritizing things nowadays.
Anyway, I just want to check in. I hope all of you are doing well and healthy. 
Wherever you are in the world, Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to you! May your hearts be filled with gratefulness no matter how you'll be spending this season! 🎄🎁❄☃️🎄

Manila Ocean Park is Back + Re-Opening Promo!

Every time I go to any themed park, I suddenly feel like a kid again! Something about them makes me recon my good old carefree days. I remember when we went to Hong Kong Disneyland, my best friends and I (we were all Disney lovers) were like kids, running, skipping, singing around the park the entire day, even gushing over Disney princesses that we come across the park. 

Last weekend, I went with my blogger girl friends to Manila Ocean Park and the same feelings came rushing in. I was like this little girl again; curious about all the sights that is before me. I was bewildered, like in a state of dream, seeing all the marine life at the Manila Ocean Park. As some of you may know, I have a great penchant for the beach and the sea, I haven’t been anywhere close to the sea in almost 2 years (the last was when I went to Siargao in February of 2020), and this is the closest I can get to the sea or at least somehow experience it again.

Gardening Tips: How to Make Gardening Easier

Gardening is one of the favorite hobbies around the world and for all the right reasons—it’s healthy, eco-friendly and rewarding. But it can also be time-consuming and hard on your back and wallet, that is if you don’t do it right. To make your garden beautiful and your gardening easy and relaxing, here are a few tips to follow:

Fuss-Free Hairstyles with Nadula

Undoubtedly, many of us have forgone the thought of being always made up during this pandemic. I applaud those who still take time to make an effort to fix their hair or put on some makeup even if they are just at home or for whenever they go out. Honestly, I’m one of those who have put less and less of an effort to look good during this pandemic. I have stopped dyeing my hair, which I used to do on a quarterly basis. I have not bought any makeup products since the pandemic started and have gone out  a couple of times with friends with bare face – which if you know me, I never step out of the house not made up. 

But wouldn’t it be very nice to wake up with an already styled look, like waking up every morning with beautiful bed hair waves. But no, that’s not always the case when you get a perm. I have had friends who went to the salon to get digital perms, yet they weren’t able to achieve those waves and they end up with old fashioned and super curly hair. They also revealed to me that having permed hair is not wash-and-wear at all.

Great Hairstyles is Just A Click Away with Nadula

Most of my life I have had long hair, up until last weekend, my hair falls until my waist. But since this pandemic started and I just have been confined at home for the most part of this almost 2-year ordeal, I kind of find that my used-to-be high-maintenance self is not ideal. I have not worn make up in months, I have not dyed my hair in months nor cut it.

However, last week something came over me and out of the blue I just decided to cut it super short, short as in above the shoulders. This is probably the shortest my hair has been all my life. I do not cut my hair short because I have such a round face with prominent cheeks and having a short hair will just emphasize them. But I was like, the heck with, and just went for it. I know I will regret it in the coming days, but whatever, it is what it is.

How Can You Enjoy Better Sleep at Night?

Physical activity and proper meals are just as vital as getting a good night's rest. Sleep deprivation has been conclusively proven to have an immediate detrimental impact on metabolism, physical activity, and cognitive ability. In both adults and children, it can promote obesity and raise illness susceptibility. 

 Both the quality and amount of sleep have deteriorated in recent decades. In reality, many people have trouble sleeping daily. On the other hand, a good night's sleep can give you more energy, help you exercise more effectively, and live a healthier lifestyle. Having a good night's sleep is among the most critical factors you can do to improve your life or reduce weight.  

How to Be More Focused at Work

Have you been experiencing a lack of work motivation and productivity lately? If you've been having trouble focusing at work and managing to complete your tasks for the day, it's time you changed your work routine and look for ways that will help you become more concentrated at your job.  No idea where to look for them? Luckily, you're in the right place because we've put together a list of ways that will make you more focused at work, allowing you to be more productive than ever before.

Stay hydratedOne of the crucial aspects of staying focused on your work is not having to focus on your thirst. Needing to get up every few minutes to get a glass of water or some other beverage is a waste of time and a break in your routine. Therefore, make sure you keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Have enough liquids before work and always have your portable water bottle with you, filled with your favourite refreshment. You can keep it on your desk and reach out for it whenever you feel thirst. Only refill it on your scheduled break so you can stay focused on your tasks.

Secret Bar: Bar by EAST at Lamp Quarters Marikina

Not many of you know that before the pandemic started, I love the nightlife and wandering around the metro in search of speakeasy (secret) bars; I even wrote an entire blog post of all the secret bars that I’ve discovered so far (read it here: https://bit.ly/SUMFSecretBars)! And recently, I’ve stumbled upon another one in a location no one would figure one would exist: Marikina! ⁣

⁣At one of the corners of Lamp Quarters Marikina, you’ll find the architects’ office of Emerging Architects Studio (EAST) that transforms into a speakeasy bar at night. The atmosphere of Bar by EAST is a mixed of tropical Scandinavian industrial design with carefully curated alcoholic (and non-alcoholic) drinks by Rian Asiddao (one of the brand ambassadors and resident mixologists of Diageo Phils the distributor of famous liquors and spirits in the PH).

My fave among the ones that we tried are the Ebi Miso Ramen and Tantanmen, because I love the spicy kick! ⁣⁣

Celsius Cafe Lounge at Lamp Quarters Marikina

They say gas fuels the world, but I beg to disagree. I’d say coffee fuels the world! I’m pretty sure everyone of us can’t function or start our daily lives without drinking coffee first; hence the phrase “But first, coffee”. ICYDK, coffee is the most consumed drink around the world (besides water of course) and it’s one of those consumables that is enjoyable to explore because there’s so many types and every time you get to try a new one, it’s a whole new different experience. ⁣

⁣Feeling adventurous when it comes to coffee? You don’t have to board a plane just to do that. Trek all the way to Lamp Quarters Marikina and search for Celsius Cafe Lounge where they offer third wave / artisanal coffee. It’s the first in Marikina – a dream of Chef Gab’s mother's that made into reality. Celsius also offers a lot of other food items that will go well with your hot or cold coffee order. ⁣⁣

Wing Commander at Lamp Quarters Marikina

Nowadays when money don’t come easy and you always want value for money, sometimes we forego the little luxuries and rewarding yourself by eating out.

Pero meron! Meron! ⁣⁣

Top Reasons for Regular Dental Health Checkup

Dental health is as important as general health and wellbeing. Some people tend to neglect this aspect of their health until there is a serious problem to deal with. To maintain your oral health, a regular checkup is recommended to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

With this, conditions affecting your dentition or gums can easily be identified and treatment will also commence on time.
