La Petite Parisienne at Le Village Lifestyle Park

For some reason I always end up in the North part of the metro though I live in the East. It's one of the busiest areas in the Philippines. And mind you, travelling to that area is no easy feat for me or anyone for that matter. But somehow, most of the events I attend are located in that area. Also, up to this day, I'm wondering why I am profiled as a blogger "expert" in that area.

But I'm not complaining since in these events I get to mingle with people who share the same passions as myself and some of the people that I've come to love and treasure. Just a few days before the holidays, I met up with some of them, basically, with the known titas in our community.

Bags: Items of Fashion and Function

Bags have always been a part a woman’s fashion. But back in the day, a bag is a common tool in the form of a non-rigid container. The use of bags predates recorded history, with the earliest bags being no more than lengths of animal skin, cotton, or woven plant fibers, folded up at the edges and secured in that shape with strings of the same material.

Despite their simplicity, bags have been fundamental for the development of human civilization, as they allow people to easily collect loose materials such as berries or food grains, and to transport more items than could readily be carried in the hands. The word probably has its origins in the Norse word baggi.

Try Hair Extensions For Less: UNice 3rd Anniversary Celebration

For me, my hair is one of my best assets. Some people compliment me because even if I don't have it rebonded or use a flat iron, it's straight most days. The only things lacking are some proper volume and thickness. So, whenever I want to curl my hair like those of celebrities and Victoria Secret models, I can't seem to achieve that no matter how much volumizing and curling products I use.

Since 5th grade I kept my hair long and sometimes super long because a hairstyle that ends on or above the shoulders makes my round face very pronounced and I don't like it at all. Having long hair, parted down the middle or on one side frames my face and makes it appear elongated, thus giving the illusion of a thinner face.

5 Best Ways to Experience Melbourne Like a Local

There’s nothing wrong with being an obvious tourist, but sometimes, exploring the most famous sites is just not enough to really get to know your destination. So, after you arrive in Melbourne and do all the regular tourist stuff, don’t hesitate to explore the city and experience it like a local.

Start the day with a morning jog 
Australians are a very fit and healthy nation, so try to wake up early and start your day with a light morning jog. This is one of the best ways to mingle with the locals, but it’s also a perfect moment to avoid crowds and have a speedy sightseeing tour. Head to The Royal Botanic Gardens and get lost in the greenery. They might be located at the very centre of the city, but the gardens are quite peaceful and quiet. If you go very early in the morning, you will really get to enjoy all the beautiful lakes and explore secluded picnic spots in peace. Plus, you’ll feel extra good about yourself when you start the day with a healthy activity!

All The Fresh Catch at Sea to Table - Katipunan

I have a hate-love relationship with seafood. But like a toxic relationship I let it over-power me. I can’t escape its seductive power. It has its fingers wrapped around my neck. Ok I was talking about food, so let’s go back to that before this goes somewhere else. Here’s the thing, I’m allergic to seafood especially crustaceans like shrimps, lobsters and crabs. But with mussels, fish et. al., I am not.




So, whenever I have to eat seafood, of which I would never let the opportunity pass to enjoy them, I have to popped an antihistamine a few minutes before and after partaking on a seafood run. Good thing I was tormented with an allergic rhinitis and was on antihistamine for days when I and a few other foodie friends visited Sea to Table in Katipunan. 

Authentic Greek Cuisine at Kos Greek Ouzeri

Back in October of 2013 First Gourmet Academy opened up its first restaurant, Kos Greek Ouzeri. This restaurant is located in U.P. Town Center along Katipunan. The idea of this restaurant is to serve simply authentic Greek food along with wines and the traditional Greek drink Ouzo. The menu is based a lot on the small spreads and dips called mezedes that is very common in Greece as well as in other Mediterranean countries under different names.

Greek Cuisine is probably among the healthiest cuisines there is. Fresh vegetables, olive oil and cheese has been cultivated and produced in Greece for thousands of years. This also means that eating in a Greek restaurant like Kos Greek Ouzeri - you as one of our guests - will have the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a meal that is not only healthy but also truly and simply authentic.

Rebeccafashion Guide: Winter Hair Care

A lot of girls nowadays are using additional things to add more to or accentuate their overall look. Like for example, eyelash extensions and hair extensions are the popular ones that we add to our body to make us feel more confident and beautiful. I myself is a great fan of eyelash extensions and I want to try hair extensions as well especially those ones from Rebeccafashion. But I know there are lot of things that it entails to maintain these kinds of extensions so I've done some research.

Winter weather can be unpredictable, but there’s one thing that you can always expect; sadly, cold and dry weather always spells trouble for hair (both hair extensions and natural hair). There’s so many bundles deal for hair extensions and I know you’re tempted just like I am to try them out but you’re clueless on how to care for them during the cold season. Each and every year, we are all reminded of this fact when our hair frizzes out, gets brittle and straw-like, or refuses to hold any shape whatsoever in cold weather. 

How to Start a Successful Travel Blog From Scratch

You may think that it is only young people without ties that can start a successful travel blog from scratch. But the truth is that anyone can do it; whether you’re a mum or a retiree. However, before you start it is important to note that this job does not just involve travelling to different places and writing about them. You need to do a lot of background work to ensure your travel blog is successful.

Get Your Site
You need a domain name and host. It is best to avoid the free sites and pay for these; this will ensure you have a site which is your brand name and not one that simply has it in the title (that’s usually too long). It’s a good idea to keep the name of your blog short; it will make it more memorable.

Life Guide For The Next 365 days of 2019

I wasn't able to create a year end post this year since I got so busy with the holiday festivities and I still have tons of backlogs and thousands of photos to sort. But on this first day of 2019, I'm sharing these thoughts to y'all which was also shared to me by one of my foodie friends. I just find it very enlightening and encouraging that I knew I had to share it.

This was also shared to him by his mentor and he found it valuable to share with us as well. It'll only take less than a minute to read but it's a good read so I hope you'll appreciate and enjoy it as much as I did.

Here are some advice (reminders) to guide you in the next 365 days of 2019 and even through the rest of your days.

1. Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide.

2. People are not what they say but what they do; so judge them not from their words but from their actions.

3. When someone hurts you, don’t feel bad because it’s a law of nature that the tree that bears the sweetest fruits gets maximum number of stones.

4. Take whatever you can from your life because when life starts taking from you, it takes even your last breath.

5. In this world, people will always throw stones on the path of your success. It depends on what you make from them — a wall or a bridge.

6. Challenges make life interesting; overcoming them makes life meaningful.

7. There is no joy in victory without running the risk of defeat.

8. A path without obstacles leads nowhere.

9. Past is a nice place to visit but certainly not a good place to stay.

10. You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

11. If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, then you haven’t done much today.

12. If you don’t build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs.

13. If you don’t climb the mountain; you can’t view the plain.

14. Don’t leave it idle — use your brain.

15. You are not paid for having a brain; you are only rewarded for using it intelligently.

16. It is not what you don’t have that limits you; it is what you have but don’t know how to use.

17. What you fail to learn might teach you a lesson.

18. The difference between a corrupt person and an honest person is: The corrupt person has a price while the honest person has a value.

19. If you succeed in cheating someone, don’t think that the person is a fool. Realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserved.

20. Honesty is an expensive gift; don’t expect it from cheap people.
