CITY OF DREAMS

Each one of us has his own dreams and aspirations. If we didn't, then what's the point of living, right? Our dream can be as simple as finding Mr. Right, settling down and starting a family or be as complex as amassing an empire greater than that of Bill Gates or as dramatic & prestigious as competing to win the title of Ms. Universe like Catriona Gray.

We live in a City of Dreams, where people crave for luxury goods & upscale lifestyles. That's just how life is. Everyone wants the best. Who wouldn't, right? So today, I dreamt of becoming like Ms. Universe Catriona Gray as I had the perfect excuse to flaunt my ear cuffs at the wedding reception I attended last week. For this wedding OOTD, I decided to keep my look simple with an off-shoulder rose gold gown in a mermaid cut. My fashion statement would focus on my Catriona Gray-inspired gold ear cuffs, complemented by my sparkly round necklace.

Believe it or not, these accessories are so affordable that every fashionista wouldn't think twice to buy these. I got these ultra-stylish pieces from SM Accessories WWW!(What Women Want)! They're one of my favorite brands when it comes to fashion accessories. They never fail to make my outfits an A-Lister! Do check out their collections. So how do you like my hairstyle? It's my D-I-Y look as I had no time to go to the parlor. I'm sure you didn't notice, but this is just a fake hair clip-on! Cool, right?! I was able to look fab in just seconds. All my hair is stylishly in place. Oh, I just feel like a Barbie doll with this look.

Oh, weddings always have a soft spot in me. Yes, I'm just a hopeless romantic who loves seeing people find their 'happy ever afters.' Every couple's love story is unique. Some could have met in a business meeting, a formal party or via social dating app. No matter how the love story started, it would always be special and unpredictable! That's how exciting love is. It comes when you least expect it.
Keane and Kim's love story is a relationship tested by distance. Keane's from Manila and Kim's from Cagayan de Oro. Truly, with constant communication, long distance relationships can stand the test of time. And now, they're finally married! The smiles on their faces show how happy they are. It's just so contagious.
As the wedding in Manila Cathedral happened at 10am, we decided to spend time and check out what's new at City of Dreams as the reception would follow at Century Park hotel. City of Dreams has this interesting place called 'The Garage', where there was an infusion of two entertainments concepts:  A more classy food trailer truck concept & a Bandai Namco VR Game Zone! This is surely a hit for kids & kids at heart.
'The Garage' is very spacious, which boasts of a 2,700sqm space, currently having around 10 beautifully designed food trucks with artistic murals in every corner. Some of the notable food stalls were Pink's Hotdog, Pizza Grigliata, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Katsu Sora, Little Flour and El Chupacabra, amongst others.
After trying out these delicious Pink's Sausages & milkshakes with a flavorful twist, we decided to go to Nobu Hotel to take some more pictures and have a change of scenery. It was so convenient to explore City of Dreams & Nobu Hotel because of the annex.
The interiors & exteriors of Nobu Hotel is so AHHH-mazing and picturesque. So much IG-worthy spots. It's definitely worth a stroll here.

After a fun-filled day of exploring City of Dreams, time to go to the wedding reception now. Hands down to the team behind the decors & backdrop of Keane & Kim's wedding reception. It was dreamy and romantic! 
Aside from the fact that Century Seafood Resto served delicious & mouthwatering dishes, I also enjoyed the wedding because my boyfriend and I were able to participate in the trivia game and we won Php1,000, which we split in half for team effort!
Wishing Keane & Kim (Team K.K.) a happy marriage. No distance can separate them from each other. Cheers to Keane for giving up Manila for CDO, to start a life and family of his own with the love of his life! What a brave and bold move. Congratulations to the love birds.

Flesh For Summer!


Summer is finally here and it's time to flaunt a little more skin this summer. So how do you look fresh this summer? Say it with Flesh!

Earth tones, nudes or skin toned outfits give you that instant oomph factor. It's so sexy, classy & figure flattering. For a 5'1 petite girl, I look taller & more elongated right?! Yes, the secret is wearing skin toned or nude colors to create that illusion effect.

Sporting the monochrome look can make you a head-turner. Imagine your curves will be more emphasized and you will instantly have a more elongated & slimmer look. Oh, I'm just a 5'1 petite girl, but I do look taller and thinner with my flesh heels right?! I always love stand out pieces--- either studs, laces, see-through pieces, tie-me-up onesies or velvet cutouts here and there. Yes, I like making bold & stylish statements. And my outfits says it all. It's just so effortless. 


This March 2019 has been so crazy for so many households including ours. Unfortunately, we are part of those households still experiencing the crazy water interruption schedules. For over a week now, we have been on our feet, filling up dozens of pails during the 3-4 hour window every day. I have never imagined that water can run out, so now, I've realized that every drop really counts.


So let me share with you my 5-Liter Water Challenge! Believe it or not, due to the unexpected & unannounced water shortage, I just had to resort to this crazy decision on the very 1st day when water ran out. After a long tiring day at work, of course, I just had to take a shower. I was deciding between spending Php5,000 to check-in at a hotel to have a decent shower with my family vs. spending just Php100 to shower with a 5-Liter distilled water I had at home. I initially hesitated to use the distilled water, but in the end, emergency is an emergency. I didn't want to end up smelly at the office right?! It was a very hard challenge for me to shower with so little water, but a little sacrifice can go a long way. Taking a shower in the pool too was also one of my options, but just thought of using pool water for flushing the toilet purposes.

Oh, it took me over 20 mins to shower with so little water because I had to strategize as to how to save and maximize my water usage. I ended up a bit soapy & bubbly but I managed to wipe everything off with a towel. I felt so good now! Yes, I just had to share with you guys my crazy water challenge. Now, I have gigantic pails with ample supply. Who's affected with these water interruptions too? What a nightmare, right?!


Keep fresh this summer by saying it with flesh! Summer is having fun under the sun, flaunting your curves, engaging in more outdoor activities and the perfect season to use as an excuse to wear sexier & more revealing OOTDs. Whether it's a body hugging long sleeved onesie with a sexy strappy look or a colorful crop top terno, just remember to wear everything with the right glow that's perfect for the summer vibe. Always maintain good hygiene, take care of your body and pamper yourself once in a while because you deserve it! Invest in your skin because your flesh and looking fresh are your greatest assets. Having great skin is always a win!
