This blog's 10th year anniversary last July went by in a whirl. Now it's August and the celebration continues. We're glad and honored to have the phenomenal J.Co Donuts sponsoring this month's giveaway as this brand is close to my heart. We were there when they opened their first store in Megamall in 2012 and now their stores all over the country have ballooned to 24 or so. That's simply amazing!

Sofitel Manila Half Marathon 2014!
Running bores me. But there's something about an organized run that motivates you, and to run along with the crowd. My officemates and I certainly had fun joining yesterday's Sofitel Manila Half Marathon 2014.

Kelangan nang mag retouch para maganda sa picture." LOL. I realized it's been three years since Rexona Run 2011. I looked at my before and after photos and happy to feel fitter and leaner ...

Epic selfie with Manny Pacquiao at #RexonaTrainingCamp
It was my second opportunity to have my photo taken with Manny Pacquiao , the greatest Filipino boxer of our time, but it was only last night - at the launch of the Rexona Training Camp - that I discovered how cool and down-to-earth he can be. Me: Can I have a picture please? Pacman: Mag-selfie na lang tayo! (after which he grabs by Samsung phone and raises it in the air for our selfie pose) Wheeeee....EPIC! Take 2, distort the face. LOL. One thing I discovered: Manny loves to selfie! And the first and only eight-division world boxing champion is ... Continue Reading...
Shopping finds at Robinsons Malls’ Red Hot Sale!
There's a lot of negative stories floating around about August being a Ghost Month, but for shopaholics like you and me, there's nothing negative at all about our favorite Robinsons Malls throughout the country going on a RED HOT SALE for the whole month of August! In my own opinion, this is the best time of the year to go on a shopping spree because some of our favorite items are discounted at as much as 70% off! My friends are gushing about this once-a-year event so I decided to check it out for myself in Robinsons Galleria. You might ask: what can P1000 pesos ... Continue Reading...
