Bloggers United 7 x Sunsilk

  Finally, the long wait is over! It took me several years ( several talaga ) to attend one so I think I ticked off one of my bucket list. BU7 was held last May 10 in Metrotent, Metrowalk Ortigas. 

  Bloggers United is where fashionistas, readers and bloggers are gathered to have a meet and greet, bazaar, experience different booths and etc.

 Mikyle Quizon of http://mikyle-quizon.com/! :)

   Okay, meet my everything in local fashion blogging!!!!! OMGGGGGG VERN pls. I can still recall the first time I saw her in candy and immediately checked out her blog!!!! I tweeted her about my fan girling and she always replies to me. It started in 2011 so it's been 3 years of addiction. Hahaha. As a die hard fan, I came to visit in her oldest blog in tumblr and realized that everyone starts in low position. I think I'm the very first person to ask for a picture :) I was with Bianca when I saw her with his brother! She's so pretty in person, I swear. Her voice, "Oh! Sure! :)". Can I be that girl with a very fab voice please?

   With Cher Lui Pio of http://stylebycher.com/ sister of Laureen's boyfriend. Hahaha. Okay medyo intrigera ako sa description. Haha.

  Meet my future husband! No jokes. Okay. HAHAHAHA. I remember when Shaira and I are planning to marry him just to be part of the Enciso family. I know it's crazy but being Vern and Verniece' hipag? Do I still have a choice?! Hahahaha. Kidding but he's really cute in person. To be honest, yes. Feeling ko nga sobrang bagay namin dyan sa picture na yan. Hays. Grabe. Love begins with one picture! Charot. I think, I'm the first person to ask him for a picture because I waited for him to come out since they're very busy in putting up their booth. He's helping his sisters to set up their booth, talk about turn on. :)

  With Lissa Kahayon of Scene Stealer. She's the favorite of my cousin, Sofia! :) That's how influential I am to Jen and Sofia. They got to love what I love. Lol. Her gym skills in instagram videos are so amazing and intense! Yay.

  With the ever kulit David Guison of DG MANILA because of our funny selfies! I asked my friend Bianca to take a picture of us through my phone when suddenly she said, "May natawag!". David laughed!!! He said, "Cancel mo muna yan." Hahahaha. I was clueless kasi ang wrong timing naman. Btw, it's my Dad. Lol.

  With Jen's favorite, Verniece. She's so pretty, nuff said. :) 

   Hays, sige wacky pa friends. Kidding. Haha. 

  

  You can't sit with us. Just kidding again. I wanna be the Vern 5 in their family. Obviously yes. Fantasies can sometimes happen! Haha. 

  Visit their blog V<3V. They will release a lifestyle diary book next Month so look who's going to buy. :)

  With Dani Baretto of Style is Eternal. :)

  Thanks to Bianca for taking pictures, gift hunting and letting me stay in her place. We had a non-stop chikahan ever since nasa byahe. Medyo sumakit throat ko, promise. Shh lang tayo girl. Haha. We were with Shaira and her cousins too that day. We only forgot to take a picture together!! I remember that night when I called Shaira over the phone, " Shaira, paano tayo bukas pag-uwi? Wait!!! Bakit wala tayong picture?! Hindi naman tayo magkagalit diba?! Hahahaha!!" 

Haha! She's the girl I'm playing with while we're on the bus going to Quaipo route. Super traffic kasi  eh bored ako and I love kids so why not play. :)) I told Bianca about this picture and she said, ako pala daw salarin kung bakit tumatayo yung bata dahil nagalit na Lola and Mommy niya. Alam nyo yun, pag nakaharap parents nung baby, hindi ko pinapansin pero pag wala nilalaro ko. Haha. Lakas trip. Js. =)) 

  We bought this for 80 pesos as our entrance for BU7. We have lots of shampoo here so I'm selling it for the same amount. Just pm me if you want to save for 50 pesos. Business line students be like.  Hahaha. The whole BU7 was really fun! Till next time fashion bffs! This is totally one of the high lights of my vacation! Summer 2014 is so far the best because it's worthy.  :D

Love,

Buqo

  Hooray for my buena mano blogpost with the new look of LYV, Buqo! This isn't my first time to advertise here in my blog since some of my friends request for a plug blog post but definitely it's a bit of pressure because it's an app and big time as well. 

  So what is Buqo? It's not your favorite milkshake nor the song of Jireh Lim. Lol. It is a Filipino Digital bookstore app where you can download your favorite Filipino reads with just a swipe or tap of your finger anytime and ofcourse, anywhere! 

 It's now available on androids too so what are you waiting users, download it now for free! 

 I, myself, tried it also and see what's the fuss all about! I'm a big fan of reading and I think what's the cool stuff nowadays is everybody's into reading. Buqo app is so convenient to use because you can carry it on your phone with less hassle of buying it outside. Stylized tho <3

  Just another plug! Buy my cousin's book, He's dating the Ice Princess!! Yay! I can't believe Buqo app has it all! Couldn't be more proud of my cousin tho :D

My favorite teen mag, candy! This is where my ideas in fashion, blogging, reading and etc. got better! I love the cover because she's my favorite. I was really going to buy like my 20k is ready to be burned and then suddenly, things went fast and yeah, no more tickets for me. Okay, that's totally as if. HAHAHA. I will just buy a cornetto and pray.

  There's a preview button so I think this time I'll survive without buying candymag every month irl! Hahaha. To all Swifties there, you should buy this Month's cover! Much better if you will buy it in Buqo because just like me, I always bring my hard copy of Candymag and discuss ( discuss talaga! Haha ) it with my cousin, Jen. :) You know that's one of my struggles in life. Lol. No fanfares, no metaphors. Finally, Buqo is there to make things easy and worthy. Make reading a habit because a healthy mind is more fashionable than a pretty face and body. What are you waiting for, go to your app store and download Buqo now! Like their Facebook page and Twitter.

How to be a certified hipster

 I am honestly thinking of what to blog. I chose over new beginnings, love at the second time around and steps how to be a hipster. Someone gave me the last idea so let me see what I can write about this one. Can you guess where did my mom took these photos? I just forgot to turn on the hdr so hello to my favorite filter, M5! I have now an idea how to improve! Just be artsy and you'll find contentment. HAHAHA.

1. Check tumblr everyday

Back in first year high school, I was really clueless about "tumblr". It's just a year after my inner self convinced me to sign up and see what's the fuss all about. I miss my first tumblr actually. Lol. Tumblr is really amazing but it depends to your following people too. Tumblr is for cool people. I consider myself cool so I think it will make myself a hipster. Boom ano ba sinasabi ko. Mamaya may hindi na naman maka-gets. Close windows na lang po. Hehe.

2. Force yourself to idolize Avicii, Pharell, Icona Pop, One republic

I really admire people who don't join the crowd. I have nothing against Taylor Swift ( because I'm a swiftie I guess), Bruno Mars ( I died of his Just the way you are ) and other famous singers. There's something with people who find music on their own and discover what's the real stuff in life. You're hipster when a friend checks your phone and she's like... Youtube> Remembers her friend's playlist> Copycat

3. Empty game apps on your phone

THIS IS SO ME. ACTUALLY THIS IS ME. TBH, the idea came from this. Hello oomf! HAHAHA. You can't convince me anymore to play a game like flappy bird, temple run, candycrush or even online guy games ( Hey back in elementary I played counter strike, gta and RAN online where I was doubting if my character will be an archer or shaman! LOL, anyone? ) because I'm a failure! "Ayyy masyado ka namang hipster" :)

4. Good denim or ombre shorts will suffice

I can't tell what's the easiest explanation behind this reason no.4 but for me, hipster ka kapag cool ang shorts mo. Check Vanilla Breeze Clothing, there's a lot!

5. What's hipster by the way?

Hipster is a slang term that first appeared in 1940's  and was revived in the 1990's and 2000's often to describe types of young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in NON-MAINSTREAM fashion and culture, particularly alternative music and independent rock. Boom nagtrivia! Sana before we say we are hipster alam natin ang meaning. It's actually my dream to become one. What now? Are you a kid that I never spotted in the crowd or the hipster that doesn't like mainstream creations? 

Love,

Patricia <3

10 things I learned from my Papa

1. It's all about the money, money we need money money money. We just wanna make our world dance and not to forget the price tag.

2. Humba is his signature dish now not Kaldereta anymore which means I have a new favorite.

3. Papa: Kumain ka ng ampalaya

    Me: Ayoko. Mapait

    Papa: Mas mapait ang mabigo sa pag-ibig

4. " Magkanong boundary mo?" He is the kind of person who knows a lot of people. Even if he doesn't, he will still talk to them about jeepneys, friends, family and everything that's under the sun. 

5. "Lagi kang magsisimula sa mababa. Huwag yung laging sa taas agad." 

6. Laughter is the best medicine. Me: Papa pagawa mo na yung water tank. Papa: Sige, kakausapin ko bukas si DOMENGsi. HAYST LAHAT KAMI NAUTAS.

7. Stop waiting, start doing. I'm a lazy person so my wait-lang style isn't acceptable for him.

8. He always brings a newspaper from abroad that's really inspiring. This time, he brought me one about a CPA who's a finance consultant in South Sudan at the age of 25. IMAGINE. He worked on SGV as his experience and yes, bigtime na sa Oil Industry sa youngest country in the world. I WILL STUDY HARD FOREVER.

9. Help people in whatever amount you can give. 

10. I will always be his apple of the eye even though we fight a lot. Papa's girl. Kasama sa inuman ng kanyang mga tropapips. Sabi niya tboom daw ako pero hindi niya alam nagiging boyish ako kapag kasama siya.  Panganay transformation problems. <3 

P.S. Sana hindi ako umiyak kapag umalis na siya bukas. Pls. 

Love,

Patricia <3

Which is which

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.. — Marianne Williamson, Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

  I was scrolling all over my tumblr timeline and I saw this post. I suddenly remembered the old movie we watched back in high school, Akeelah and the bee! Here's to the kids who got addicted to Sean Afable! Hahahaha. I didn't recognize it at first. I only told myself, "Wait. Parang pamilyar?" And then take-time-to-realize. Lol. It took me days to come up with a topic because I'm avoiding myself to talk about such THINGS that I'm too tired to explain over and over again. Hindi ibig sabihin hindi ako umimik, hindi ko nakita. Boom Vaness! Haha. Don't you love my new skirt? I have one new dress also! I bought them from a pre-loved items and I think I changed so well when it comes to buying because 2 lang napili ko. I'm proud because I know which is which. This summer, I suggest to invest in a good pair of sunnies, stripes ( top ) and a skirt because shorts are too mainstream. Hahahahaha. When it comes to shoes, I'm still bitter about it because 4 months na akong nagsusuffer. Malapit na talaga gumaling. Soon. I will really treat myself a good pair of ballerina flats when my left foot got healed. :) Being affected by the opinions of others would just lessen your confidence. The things we don't stress tend to turn out best, trust and let go. We should no longer invest our time into things that are not important to us and don't make us better.

Love,

Patricia

Holy week in La Virginia

I'm totally one of the people who enjoys summer in the most possible way! Like I never stayed home for consecutive days just before. Haha. It was one of a hell overnight swimming in the famous, La Virginia Hotel and Resort! I'm just disappointed why they can't build a man-made beach. Taal lake is somewhat buwis buhay stuff to develop tho. HAHAHA. My dad would always say how great such people made/ makes development around Mataas na kahoy. "Dati, bundok and kagubatan to, tingnan mo. Developed na talaga." Wonders of man and God! :) 

My cousin, Aila. This is the first time we had our real bonding because we don't talk that much before. We were just kids and now, I can't accept the fact that she's taller than me... An inch I guess. HAHAHA. Just like Jen. I don't understand how badass my genes are.

Thank God my dad bought me boxes of this brand. The chlorine in the pool is so strong. It's perfect to avoid frizz in my hair. 

The entrance costs 300 pesos and the cottage/ cabana/ hotel depends on what will you choose ofcourse. We stayed in an ifugao house with separated bedrooms for 8,000 pesos. They have many pools but we only tried those aren't that crowded. We tried the infinity pool and I'm like so thankful that I held the side of the pool because ugh 6 feet daw yung binabaan namin. Thank you Lord. Saka ako natakot nung nalaman ko yun. Grabe. I don't know how to swim so bad. HAHAHA. Thankyou Tito Poy and Tita Gles. Thankyou to my room mates and swimming buddies, Aila and Egi! We didn't take a lot of pictures because idk. La Virginia is so spacious more than you'll ever think!!!!! I tell you! It's just me and my dad who are addicted to picture takings. My dad threw up that late afternoon so I got no one to take photos. This is also the first time I appreciate root beer and now, I'm addicted to it!  Anyway, it's just relaxing being away from the city and social media. Holy week for me is all about disconnecting to reflect and spending time with the family. Thankyou Lord!

Love,

Patricia <3
