Oh To Be Young Again!

No matter how old a person is, one will always be a kid at heart. And I admit I am one of those people who when put in an opportunity to feel like a kid again will jump right into it. When it comes to amusement parks, I am an ok fan. I like amusement parks, but I’m a coward when it comes to rides especially the ones that will push me to scream out my lungs. I am more into kiddie rides and ferry’s wheels.  




I am excited with upcoming trip, because I will be spending a day in the happiest place on earth. My friends are already excited to ride all the fun rides that requires a lot of screaming but I may have to stay put and just ride the ones fit for kids only. But I like that there has been a lot of adult concept playgrounds popping out in the metro recently, where adults can be kids again even only for a few hours.

Over Rice - New York Halal Inspired Comfort Food

Over Rice is only one brand under Chow Chaps. Chowchaps Food Services was founded by the business partners Sonny Angelo O. Valencia and Emil G. Javier II on June 13, 2016. The partnership however, started way beyond the legal inception of the business. The partners, Sonny and Emil, were cousins and literally grew-up with each other. They laughed and fool around since they were young. During their college days, both of the schools they studied-in were very close however far from where the both resides.




Emil decided to try his luck abroad as a student, furthering his academics in New York's prestigious New York Film Academy. While Sonny stayed in the Philippines and worked for the professional services firm NavarroAmper&Co., a network of Deloitte Touche Tomatsu Limited in the Philippines, as a Financial Advisory Associate. Both, were separated by distance but not in spirit as they continually support each other communicating via the internet. During that year a part, many challenges in both of their professional and personal life were encountered, and both took it as learning experiences and grew to be better people.

Budget Beach Style

You’ve been planning that beach vacation for ages and you’re so excited! In your mind’s eye, you’re relaxing by the pool (check this one https://www.globosurfer.com/best-above-ground-pools/) with a cocktail in hand and looking just like the glitterati swanning elegantly with an effortless chic. Or you’re sitting on a beach towel watching the waves crash into the white sand while the kids play beside you making sand castles. In all of these wonderful scenarios, you want to look your best, and this is absolutely possible without breaking the bank.  So how do you get that styled beach fashion look on a budget? 




Start with Great Swimwear
One of the cardinal rules of beach style is to splurge on the best swimwear you can afford. Getting the right cut and fit with good boning means that you’ll feel confident on the beach or by the pool, and you’ll get many year’s wear out of your swimwear.  Cheap, flimsy swimwear will pull at you and highlight the areas you want to hide, so definitely shop around for the best quality swimwear you can afford.

Your Homecoming DressTells A Lot About You...

Homecoming is the tradition of welcoming back alumni of a school. It is a tradition in many universities, colleges and high schools especially in the United States. By the way, Homecoming should not be confused with prom, as they occur at different times of the year. Homecoming usually occurs in the fall, and prom usually occurs in the spring. And for sure you are already looking forward to the Homecoming dance which is the culminating event of the week (for high schools). 




I’ve never experienced going to a Homecoming event and most homecomings here in my country doesn’t have a formal social gathering at the end of the week-long celebrations, ours is just simply getting together probably to conduct some civic work or things like that and it usually happens just for a day.

Communion Dresses from MariaCommunion.com

Does anyone of you still remember your first communion? As for me it's a bit of a blur to me to be honest. It is quite a big thing here in the Philippines, being the only Catholic nation in Asia and a country that is predominantly Christian or Catholic.
All I can remember from my first communion was that everybody was excited about it. I think I was in third grade when it happened. Our school was non-sectarian but most of the time performed Catholic practices. I remember it took weeks for us students to prepare for our first communion. Our teachers allotted time for us to practice and read stuff for the event.

Get Ready for the Cold Season with Stylewe

*Sigh*… How time flies so fast… It seemed like yesterday we were all just celebrating the start of the new year, then there was valentine, then graduation, then summer, and who would have known, the year is about to end again in a few months. A few weeks from now, it’s already the “ber” months and that signals the Holidays and the of course the cold season. But before we get too excited, let’s not forget about Fall or Autumn.




Fall or Autumn may be short, but it is as equally beautiful as all the other seasons. Especially when the leaves turn to bright reds and oranges and they start to fall off from the branches of the trees in preparation for the winter season. Unfortunately, here in my country we only experience 2 seasons, rainy and dry season. But when it rains, it tends to get pretty cold too and the cold wind coming from the north during October to December also gives us Filipinos a taste of the winter weather. So we still have a reason to get into the bandwagon of wearing layers, coats, sweaters and jackets.

Pastel Proms with D-daydress.com

I enjoy themed events because I believe it’s what makes a party or a gathering unique and memorable. A themed party creates a different atmosphere and will definitely get guests to be excited and interested to attend. Themed events doesn’t have to be just for weddings and birthdays; school gatherings like prom and homecoming could also need some sprucing up and acquire a theme that will engage students and alumni.




Although I haven’t got to attend any themed prom event, because it is not too much of a big deal here in my country, but if ever I can go back in time, I would love to have a Garden Party Themed Prom. I have tons of ideas flooding my mind right now on how to style and conceptualize the entire event.
