This year has left me with a lot of learnings once again and a question suddenly occurred to me:"Have I become one of the Titas of Manila?" Haha! But one thing's for sure: I've been adulting during ze year and it's never been easy! My priorities are driven for my career yet on the side, I managed to embark on a trip on my own and day-offs spent for family and friends ❤️ Here are my top 5 moments and you may click some picture below to read the full review.

5) 2017 FILMS.
The movies that made me laugh,surprise,"kilig" and...cry.lol I used to not cry in watching but films such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Coco" had kept me teary-eyed.Though I was touched 'cause it was beautifully produced and yet I have watched these twice in the cinemas! And of course,who would not add Fifty Shades on the list?I can't wait for my fave love story to end next Feb.❤️

4)my newest inspiration.

I've become a huge fan of Maria Poonlertlarp eversince Miss U 2017 began. I find her as the prettiest beauty queen even if she just made it to ze top 5. Majority of her latest updates are in Thai but I really don't care (lol); Some of it have translations which made me like her more and I'm proud to be one of her Asian fans☺️ I hope she gets to tour Asia someday!


3)Nihao HK//Macau!
So this is how my family spent our summer this year: visiting the outskirts of Hong Kong and cruisin through Macau.I certainly enjoyed Macau from its street foods and casino spots even for just a day. While I strongly recommend HK as a go-to place for first time travellers.My 'nihao travel series' might continue next year as I go to Taiwan!



2)Britney Spears' Concert (061517)
Her songs will always be the anthem of a teenager born in the 90's.From the classic "Baby One More Time" to "Oops I Did It Again",I believe everyone could relate to those songs! Likewise, The concert was definitely worth the wait,and worth the expense. 'nuff said!



1)Goin' Solo!
My week-long trip to Osaka has been one of the best experiences I've ever had!❤️Truth be told,many people will always doubt the wonders of solo travel but prove them wrong! My brave soul has taught me to be more independent and even with the slightest mishaps I've had there,I was still able to visit a lot of towns around the Kansai area 😍 Ergo,I promise to come back soon! And this won't also be the last time that I will go on a solo flight. ;)




Lasltly,thank you to all who have been reading my entries! Some of my old entries are underconstruction so please bear with me.I'm finding time to retrieve my other photos and likewise, I assure y'all that I'll make more updates soon!

Random Musings

I wasn't telling about my activities lately apart from catching up on my travel posts.Generally I have been juggling over work and review all along. It was very difficult dealing with shifting schedules and going to review classes on most of my days off.I even have to cancel (again) my itenerary to the US this month! ;( So yeah, I'm bundled with my career priorities and hopefully ,it all ends soon! Anyhow I'm not really that workaholic since I still get to find time for leisure from online-shopping to movie marathons.I'm currently stoked on Lala Land and Fifty Shades Darker!And yeahp,I'll discuss that further later :)
A few weeks ago, I ordered a leather brown case for my Instax camera from @dealsonline.I bought it for P740 and it comes with a bunch of film stickers and a mini album.I was supposed to buy a film to them also but it was kinda expensive..though the films are very rare.You guys may want to check their online store for your Instax essentials. :) They also have their own app on Google Play for an easy-access to the store.

Here's a haul of my polaroid shots :)
Moving on with the movies, I have watched 2 big movies consecutively and the fangirl in me has risen again.Haha!Call me a bandwagon for watching "La la Land " 'cause it's a Golden Globe win.I became a fan of Emma Stone since then.She's so gorgeous that she and Ryan Gosling made a great pair on the film. I actually adore musical films like this that's why I really don't mind about the load of sing-and-dance scenes.My fav part was the moment when they were dancing on the mountain.The whole film's almost a 10/10 for me but the ending disappointed me (so I gave it an 8 instead). Yes, they didn't go on a happily ever after but the views can be split into 2 which can either be bittersweet or upsetting.It may be sad for Ryan to see her with another man after 5yrs of separation but on the other hand, it may be good seeing both of them successful to reach their dreams. Though in my opinion, it could've gone better if they were together. ;| As for FSD, I believe that my expectations were partially met! Well, it's good to see my Ana & Christian on the big screen again--and to see my favorite part of the series came in action was awesome.It's much better than the first since this was more captured from the book even most of the lines are taken there.Say,"I'm gonna be the boss' boss' boss?" But there are several twists from the movie which gives way to the final book,FSF.Hence,I can't wait for the final sequel next year! ❤️
These are just some of the activities that I've been going up for the past weeks. Sometimes I do take these as a way of distracting myself to move on from a past.'Cause yeah,even when that guy is a thousand miles away,my heart is still shattered from what he had done.But anyway,chickens will come to roost!
'til then!

#2015 Memories

Basically,2015 has been a lot of ups and downs for me.It was full of trial-and-error periods that at the end,all those hardships were worth achieving.Let it be the events I've attended,the things I started to like and the people who became so important to me.So here goes my traditional rundown of the year ;)

Greysessed duties for "Fifty Shades of Grey"

Yesss after 3 years of waiting,one of my fav novels made it to the big screen!! Well I got to admit that I had a break from being Greysessed for years since I got hooked on the Crossfire series; But I still have a big big heart for my dear Christian Grey.❤️ Going back to last year when the trailer came out,I was so excited that I cannot contain my feels anymore---like I needed an emergency flight to America if this won't be shown in the Philippines (yet thankfully,it did). So yeah, I watched it twice because I couldn't wait any longer for the blockscreening last Feb.15.Hahaha! That's why I first watched it on the second day of premiere last Feb. 12.I watched it with my mom who wasn't really aware of the erotic story and I can't believe she liked it at the end!In fact she's more obsessed than I am now as she watched it thrice and reads the books.See how Christian Grey's impact goes for the women...sigh ❤️

#2012 MEMORIES

This year has been a whole set of adventure to me.Yet,i can say that it's been surprising and wish-fulfilling. no matter how old we are,lets just live while we're young shall we! :)

10. Fangirl Moments.The songs of Carly Rae Jepsen and One Direction became a big impact to me. "Call Me Maybe" being stuck on my head is very well-understood.but me as a "directioner"?!Haha i used to despise them until my cousins got me in to them.Though, i'm not a die hard fan; i only came to like their songs. :)

Buy Carly Rae Jepsen's "Kiss" and One Direction's Take Me Home!
9. Rilakkuma Collection. It's true that i can't resist buying something when it comes to that very cute bear! :))



here's a pic of my collection.this was taken last summer,so i bet a couple more Rilakkuma stuff has been added after that :p

8. quotable-QUOTES. indeed,people has come to be more exposed to its emotions ever since twitter was made.that's why backstabbing and pick-up lines became a shiz.haha! RT here and hashtag there,pati facebook status nilalagyan na ng hashtag..oh dear. :)) well i could be one of those since i often use twitter.admit it, we all live in quotes! especially the ones that are relatable to ourselves.However,post responsibly! check out "Backstabbing/Banat Tips"
7. foodtrippin' . Travelling comes with foodie adventures! this year has brought me into a lot of cravings. milktea?buffet experience?J.Co and desserts? just check out my instagram for my foodie pics!But sometimes,i post some food reviews here also. FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM HERE
6. entrepreneurship. truly an 'income generator' :)) It all started last summer when i tried to sell style watches (which was surprisingly successful). and then i made fan button pins for One Direction and sold my extra Katy Perry merchandise.Then comes Nursing Week in school where i get to sell accessories.This was somehow one of the best experiences i've learned this year.and it's all thanks to Frontrow Enterprise for teaching me how to create a business :) VISIT MY ONLINE SHOP HERE.NOTE: I'll be officially changing this page into my own online swell shop soon.thus that will no longer be my frontrow page :)
5.crew-ventures.i'm blessed to have such awesome barkadas! :) from i.z.u.n.i.a,#prettygirlsrock,group 3C powers and to my crewmates..they are the best. even if we have a nearby mall in school, we still hang-out as far as Makati!! iba talaga pag planado,haha :)) so there,i really enjoyed every bit of our hang-out adventures.

here's a collage of some of our hang-outs.

4. California Dreams! (012212)i'll never forget winning a concert ticket here for the first time and upgrading it into Titanium(vip). thanks to that contest,Astroplus! I'm happy to see Katy Perry in concert for the 2nd time :) it's the only concert that i've gone to this year and it's one of the best concerts among the others that i've watched before.indeed,it's a Candyfornia Dream experience ;D read my full review about the concert here
3. GREYSESSED.my disappointment has swooned away; all thanks to Christian Grey.♡ Call it horny or porno but it's not! Yeah,it's erotic but it has it's own plot. I don't want to debate this further anymore,haha! but anyway,i love this trilogy so much!!for the first time,i cried while reading the book 'cause i felt very emotional for some reasons :)) Christian Grey is one heck of a girl's ideal man.'nuff said♡

i'm proud enough to buy and finish the whole trilogy during the month of August (specifically,during 'Hagupit ng Habagat') :))
