Avon 24K Gold Glam Master Class with Lala Flores

Last December, I was lucky enough to cover another Avon event which I consider one of my favorites. The Avon 24K Gold Glam Master Class with Lala Flores was a makeup tutorial that every girl would be lucky to attend to. From basic steps to adding a touch of glam, name it! Lala had it covered.

Avon Branch Visit: Julia Montes at Taft

One of the things I've learned from Avon is that they are always willing to give back to their Representatives and to all the women out there. One of their rewards or surprises is that they let their hard-working representatives meet their endorsers. One of the visit I witnessed was with Julia Montes at Taft Branch. Even just for an hour or so, you can see the smiles on their faces and the happiness in their eyes by getting the chance to see their idol. Nothing compares to that experience.

Smoke + Mirrors Tour: Imagine Dragons Live in Manila

My long time dream finally came true last August 27, 2015, when Imagine Dragons decided to include the Philippines to their Smoke + Mirrors Tour! Yay! I remember even telling my friends, Nike of The ElectroMagnetChick and Jovel of The Misadventures of Pooh that without a doubt, I will buy a ticket immediately if Imagine Dragons will hold a concert here and they did. That's why my friends and I ended up buying some Lower Box tickets. But luck came to our side when one of our friends got VIP passes and who can't say no to that. So we decided to give our tickets to our other friends, what can we say, the more, the merrier, eh? Here are the highlights of one of my best nights in 2015!

The Prismatic World Tour: Katy Perry Live In Manila

Last May 07, I had the lucky chance to watch Katy Perry Live In Manila with my good friend, Nike of The ElectroMagnetchick. It will be my first time to see her and hear her in person plus we were able to snag VIP seats! How awesome is that? It was held in the Philippine arena, making The Prismatic World Tour one of the biggest concerts this 2015. Nike went all out with her Left Shark onesie from Authority Hoodie. Catch a glimpse of what went down that night below!

That's all for today's quick post!

Love lots, xx

Bad Blood Tour: Bastille Live in Manila

I told my dear friends, Nike of The ElectroMagnetChick and Jovel of The Misadventures of Pooh that if Bastille, Imagine Dragons, or American Authors visit the country, I will surely go and there's no doubt about that. I love them. They are my favorite and I can still remember whenever I need to get in the zone for work, I will usually put 'Pompeii' on loop, and it's still a habit I keep. I discovered them through Grooveshark while I was looking for non-mainstream songs. There were not yet big back then but 'Pompeii' placed them on the top of the charts. Bastille has a very distinct sound that reminds me of Imagine Dragons.

It was amazing to hear them live and my favorite songs, 'Pompeii', 'Things We Lost In The Fire', 'Icarus', 'Rhythm of the Night', and 'Flaws'. It was a great way to start the year and I'm looking forward to more events or concerts this year!

What is your favorite Bastille song? Have a great day! :)

Love lots, xx

In Food, Japanese

A Dose of Japanese

One of the places my friends and I love to visit during our college days is Tokyo Bubble Tea. We obviously enjoyed sharing sushis and makis together, with glasses of our preferred bubble teas. My personal favorite is the Almond Milk Tea. This restaurant have a lot of maki and sushi recipes that you would love to try. If I remember them correctly, I think I usually binge eat Vancouver, Spicy Tuna, Dynamite Sushi and/or the TNT Salmon Sushi. They have very interesting recipes and flavors which are not what you usually see in ordinary Japanese restaurants. The place also have a fun, youthful, and かわいい(kawaii means cute) vibe that everyone would definitely enjoy. :)

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Love lots, xx

Childhood All Over Again

For my first toy-related post this year, I will share with you the first adventure I had in the South with my friends last year. I never knew that such a place existed but good thing my friend Nike of the ElectroMagnetChick mentioned it and we were immediately said yes to it!

The exterior looks like it was made of Lego.

We felt like a child again as soon as we entered the place. It was a fun experience especially for me because I grew up with a toy collector--my dad. The kid inside me was big-eyed with wonderment, wishing that I could also have my own toy museum aside from my dream library. :)

Love lots, xx
