I have conquered another visit to another Universal Studio branch and this time,it's the one in Osaka! This is actually one of the reasons why my family wanted to go in the said area of Japan because of its breathtaking attractions (which I should say, more unique than in Singapore). But I enjoyed both of it so much (you could read my USSG experience HERE) that I will recommend either of those to be seen!So here's a recap of my tour to USJ.

Japan Tales: OSAKA!

Here goes my yearly travel in Japan! And this time,I fly to the Kansai region,Osaka! ;D

Petite Trends: Mumuso

So I managed to find time over shopping lately inspite of reviewing and working (as usual) and Mumuso has been part of the stores that I often visit to. As most people know, it is a Korean shop that sells products at a very affordable price from cosmetics, electronic accessories and lifestyle items. Hence, here are some of the things that I bought.

Japan Tales: Fukuoka (part 3)

June 3-4: Shopping at Tenjin Core and Canal City Hakata
That morning,me and my relatives went to one of the fashion districts in Fukuoka: Tenjin Core!

(#2) The Petite Trends :my birthweek!

Happy Hugggtober from the crew ❤️

The Petite's Trend (#1)

Every blogger seems to have this particular entry about their latest style so I would like to create my own and call it as "The Petite's Trend".This is gonna be all about 'anything-goes-random' from the things I bought, my pastimes, and what I have been up to all throughout the month.So,here it goes!

Parties with my 2 favorites

I've been attending events for the past 2 weeks and I'm so overwhelmed that each of it was with my favorites ❤️ My whole month of August has become so much fun and fearless at the same time! Fearless as I took my IV Therapy training at Capitol Medical Center and it went well. I hated IV injections and I was even so scared to be pricked by it.Yet I suddenly overcome my fears at it as my partner on the training pricked me twice! Hahaha :)) My veins on my hands were quite hard to detect that's why the nurse supervisor suggested to prick me on both hands. I did not mind about it,though. I took it as an experience and went fine. Nonetheless, I look forward to more of my RN trainings soon! :D "let the right job arrive to you on the right moment. #notetoself"

my temporary laid-back situation

It's been 3 weeks of laid back lifestyle and so far, I'm enjoying it. :) The first few days of it was kind of surreal adjusting thyself from being a busy person.To me,it wasn't boring after all; I often go out with my family and friends and even if I stay home at most times,I fill myself in with activities that can divert from boredom.Namely,these are actually things that I did not have the time for when I was busy in the academics.lol.Here's a few to share:

Panda in Manila.

Who would have thought a pink panda exists?! Well not literally but it certainly is a pinky fine-dining cuisine! Last Saturday (021514), me and my friend had dinner in this resto called Pink Panda which is located at 4687 Santiago Street Corner B. Valdez Street, Poblacion, Makati City.

polaroid shoot with the panda buns :))
We actually had a hard time finding the place since we aren't familiar with the busy streets of Makati! Moreover,the place is below Y2 Residence hotel which is near A-venue Mall. My friend found out about this as she heard that this is one of Erwan Heussaff's newest ventures. And as we saw this panda-looking buns,we decided to try it. :)



As I was mentioning earlier, Pink Panda is a Southeast Asian Diner created by Erwan Heussaff together with the Hatch 22 group. It features a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Filipino food. The place is not exactly filled with panda stuff or anything pink (though they do have a few pink decors) but the whole ambiance is more on bamboo and retro panda art on the walls.So here's what we ordered:


Pink Panty(P110). I have no idea why it was named like that but it tasted as good as a red iced tea.Haha ;p


General P's Chicken (P270). Orange chicken with dried chilies and fried peanuts


Pink Panda Rice (P180).Yellow rice with bits of chicken, Chinese sausage and lettuce topped with chips.And I do find this similar to Yang chow fried rice,yum!! :)


Panda Buns (P220).Yummy, cute pork panda-shaped buns that you would feel awe to eat for!


Since it was too cute,we even took a selfie with it!!lol.

Here's to that feeling when you're going to eat a cute little treat.Hahaha♥
You guys go try it!!It is certainly,a must!Check out Pink Panda Diner or @pinkpandamanila for more info :)

Talk about RASTACLATS.

I'd like to introduce this wonderful collection of armbraids from Rastaclats.

taken at Titan store,Two Parkade branch

Rastaclat (rah-stuh-claht): the cloth of the righteous.Rastaclat is dedicated to the spirit of Spreading Positive Vibrations® encouraging individual style, a sense of positivity and freedom of expression. The brand originated at Long Beach, California that sells hand-made accessories of fine quality.They create belts and bracelets made out of hemp or shoelaces.Plus,several of their designs are inspired from famous icons which makes it even cooler! :)
So when I was at Titan, I bought 2 pieces of the bracelets: turquoise and namo(blue & purple) design.The prices depend on the design so I chose two of my favorite colors (and I could've bought a camo one if only it was available.Haha!).

#2013 MEMORIES

Indeed,this year has been a blast and it's one of the BEST!I may be busy all throughout,but the year has brought me in to a lot of surprises and to "things I never thought would possibly happen". :')
10. CROSSFIRE. Last year, Christian Grey was the ultimate peg;Now,this new book series nailed it! The Dark&Dangerous Gideon Cross stole my heart this year.❤️ Just like Mr.Grey,this man has his own 'problems' too (and so as the heroine character in the story,Eva Tramell). But their love affair is sweeter than Steele-Grey :"> The series is already on its 3rd book and it has more mature content. So if you're legal(18+) and curious on a different kind of romance,try reading this :)

and btw,the story's not ending on the third book yet! ;D

9.Camo luvin'.Meet the newest addition to my favorites!Tho purple is still my most fave.I somehow don't know why I got hooked on camouflage when it's just all of a sudden that i started collecting stuff in that print(and it drives me crazy!hahaha!).No wonder,it does look unique.But you know,I don't like military nor soldiers---except for a #soldieroflove perhaps.oops!HAHAHA ;))

8. Christmas with my Japanese cousins. Shopping + roadtrippin' + drinking sessions with them was great!! :D Mind you,it's been more than 10 years since they've last spent the holidays here since they usually go around July.Thus,touring them around town has always been fun.Check out my facebook for our pictures :)

7. Concerts!concerts! I'm pleased to attend 2 concerts this year; from Demi Lovato's to Carly Rae Jepsen's :D Like what I've reviewed last year, Carly Rae became one of my favorite popstars 'cause of her upbeat songs.While for Demi,I really am a fan of hers since she starred on Camp Rock.She'd be my idol if I were a highschool teen now 'cause I find her similar to Kelly Clarkson :) Anyway,I was supposed to watch Ke$ha's also but unfortunately,school screwed it up for me (hashtag duty problems T__T).However,i look forward to watch more concerts next year! :)


6. Dance with the GFORCE. After 987654321000 years,my plan of enrolling myself to a dance workshop once again has finally come true!lol.And it's not just any dance workshop..I can't even believe at first that I'm on a dance class from a group that's performing on ASAP!Hence,it was really great.i despise rehearsals but i do miss them especially the moments when we're practicing the choreography already :) I'm glad to be part of Jazz funk batch 1 by Teacher Sherwin Casepe! This whole workshop just built more about my stage presence dancing skills.Hopefully next year,i'd be able to join again.Watch & Read the show here!

5. Epic CREW-ventures. We may be tangled by our hectic scheds in school,but we still found opportunities to unwind and HAVE FUN! Call it dramatic but I do feel disconnected to the world if all I do is to go to school then go home in a day.Sometimes,you need to take a break from it--like going to new places and trying new things which my barkada usually do. :)

how to spell FUN and CRAZY with these people. :))

4. My crazyyy 20th birthday.

Simply, a beautiful mess.yet unforgettable.It's the most memorable moment that i'll have for the 2nd decade of my life.I do have very surprising guests and gifts,but the fact that I passed out was just....ugh,eff THAT.lol.Wanna recap it?.

3. Grease Manila(111013).like I said, I'll never forget this play ever!Some people even discouraged me from watching it as I was deciding before if I'm really going to watch.But since I've been hooked to this eversince I was watching the rehearsals on the net and my favorite will be there,I suddenly thought that I can't miss this show.and so,things happened--I watched the show and it was amazing plus surprisingly,I get to meet the cast at the end. ;D I'll never forget that moment when Carla D. hugged me that time!♥ tell me more,tell me more! ;p

2. #helloSINGAPORE!This made my summer vacay this year superb ♥ Our whole trip there was absolutely amazing from endless shoppings,diversing with mixed races and our whole day at Universal Studios.Indeed,i'd loved to go back there again(and I AM coming back!!) soon ;) Reminisce with me here: part 1 l part 2 .

1. Friends with the DJ's.---well not just DJ's but also theater stars!And I'm so pleased and thankful to meet them.I didn't expect such things to happen!Especially meeting my 2 favorites, Carla Dunareanu and Sam YG for several times! :"""> Yeah,i got to admit that i usually have those 'embarrassing moments' to meet them;but having the guts to do it surely turns out to something!Haha.Though when it comes to my favorite days with them,the most would probably be with Sam.♥ oh lord,thank you for making this possible!! 0:")

(from L-R)with Andi Manzano,Slick Rick,Ramon Bautista,Sara Meier,Carla Dunareanu,Sam YG,Jojo the "love survivor",Boom Gonzales,Jennifer Blair-Bianco, James Stacey,Rafa Siguion-Reyna,James Laurel

Now that's a wrap!And I'm sure the funnerness won't stop here--there IS MORE TO COME. :) So why not we gallop for more new memories next year?Haha! 'til then!I would like to thank everyone who reads my entries here.thank you,thank you,THANK YOU!!!

#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') :))
