First of all, what IS a f*ck boy? And second of all… what the hell do we do with them?
Find out what I have to say to them and all of their kind on this episode’s edition of Serious Sunday’s with me,
I’m always trying to save money especially when it comes to my little shopping past time. Every penny counts and when you have to pay for bills, food and other things, every deal is a good one!
When shopping online, I always make it an extra point to read every single detail possible. I hate having to send something back just because I didn’t read every detail so always try to make a conscious effort and read every single detail.
Another thing I like to do when i shop at online stores in the Philippines like Zalora & Lazada is to check voucher code websites to find out which retailers have coupons or discounts. With coupon codes you can get a 10-20% discount so it’s worth shopping at websites that offer them! One of my favorite websites to get coupons from is ivouchercodes as they usually have the best Zalora promo codes and special offers.
And lastly, whether I am shopping online or offline, I make it a point to have a look in mind so I don’t get side tracked and end up buying more than I had intended to. I’m sure we all know the struggles of wanting too many stuff! :>

Til next week,
As an October kid, I LOVE Halloween! Well, honestly, I can’t really think of anyone who doesn’t really like Halloween because everybody loves it. In fact, I love it more than Christmas especially now that I actually have to buy people gifts. lol.
As a part of Paolo’s 25th birthday gift to me, he agreed to dress up as my favorite video game protagonist’s counterpart. If you haven’t figured out who we are by now, we are actually Ellie & Joel from The Last Of Us.
Here are a few photos and awkward selfies that we took before heading out to celebrate the festivities.
Honestly, nobody really knew who we are and in fact, a bunch of people actually thought we were portraying our inside joke of father and a daughter (for obvious reasons. We are only 3- 4 years a part, by the by!) BUT it didn’t really phase me. I was just happy that we got to do this together and that I got to party in sneakers!

Happy Sunday, errbody!
Here’s today’s edition of Serious Sundays and if you have a question you’d wanna ask me, you can leave a comment below and I will try to feature it on a vlog entry like this.
It’s your time to shine,
Wow guys, I am on a roll today!
A little late, Filipino time wise, but it’s STILL Sunday SOMEWHERE in the world. Also, since we’re already giving excuses, I would like to know WHY MY INTERNET SERVICE IS SO SLOW, ________?!?!?! You have ruined scheduled blogging/ vlogging for EVERYONE. *eye roll. slap. kick. stab*
So yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this video as I am truly having a wonderful time discovering myself better through vlogging. I feel like it’s a better outlet to talk and express myself and show you guys a different, more annoying side of me (that you will all learn to love).
If you want to ask me ANYTHING, check out the description of the video for my contact details.
RAKKK ONN,
It’s a fine Monday morning and I’m catching up on the weekly news when I happened to run into a new issue about Essena Oneill quitting social media and it honestly got me questioning, is social media fake?
I’ve been on social media ever since it came out. Social media and I have had a love hate relationship in the past years but it’s that boyfriend of yours you wish you could quit but you just can’t bring it in you to. Being a blogger and a social media “influencer” of some sort has taught me so much about myself in the past 11 years. It made me realize my talent, my potential, my strengths and most especially my flaws. But most importantly, it has taught me to be real to myself and to the people around me.Sure, there are a lot of things you don’t know about what goes on behind the screen like the competition; bickering; insane backdrops and what not. But the truth is, nobody forced us to do it. There isn’t a gun pointed at our heads, constantly nagging us to do this or to do that. If we want to go an extra mile to take a nice photo, it is because it’s our art and we chose to do it to ourselves. And honestly, we enjoy it! I appreciate nice photos and the effort put behind it. It’s not a distortion of reality, it’s seeing the world through another persons set of eyes.Social media has opened up so many opportunities for me that I never knew I would be able to enjoy- I have been given the chance to meet new people, work with brands, travel, do things I never thought I would do, eat at places I never thought I would eat at and have things I never thought I would own and I will always be grateful for that. Years ago I feared future Issa because I thought I would have to work a 8- 5 desk job or at the hospital (which in my world is worse). I thought it was impossible for me to own my own time and live a life outside of an office and it made me really scared. But social media has allowed me to live my life a bit differently as opposed to what I had imagined and even if I find myself working more hours, I have never been happier.Social media is only fake if you’re fake. It’s only a lie if you choose to lie to yourself and to the people around you. So maybe Essena was right about one thing, make sure about who you follow on social media.Kthanksbye,
Uniqlo has FINALLY opened it’s doors to the Cebuano’s with their first branch in SM Northwing to be followed later on this year by their second branch at the SM City Seaside. With their signature basics made out of top of the line garments, perfect cuts and affordable prices; Uniqlo is sure to become one of Cebu’s favorite shopping places.
Check out my vlog from their VIP Pre- Shopping and Sake Ceremony that was held last October 22nd and how the store looks like if you haven’t had the time to drop by already.
Welcome to Cebu, Unqilo and Congratulations Big Speed PR for another successful event!
Watch Your Wallets,
Hey everyone!
I’m officially sharing personal vlogs on Youtube to show you guys what a typical day in my life is like. I wanted to be able to share my life with everyone in a way that’s raw and unfiltered- I really hope you like this new series!
Check out my first video and find out how I do my own photo shoots, get a tour of my EXTREMELY SMALL shooting space and find out more about me- weird and everything.
Luh yuh,

I hate my body right now and I’m not going to lie. I feel the pressures to be skinny especially when people around me constantly poke fun at me, joke about me being pregnant or point my weight gain out as a new form of hello. I hate people who say, “Hi Issa, you’ve gotten so fat now!” In my head I’m saying, “Oh hey, and you’re still ugly!” Ugh.
I’ve always been a fit girl. No, not skinny- fit. I used to have so much time to run and do all my sports but with my new lifestyle and career, I find myself stress eating rather than working out. I know it’s not an excuse but I’m just saying it like it is. If you’ve noticed, I haven’t agreed to having my photos taken as much as before because my arms are more manlike than ever, my clothes have gotten too tight, I have a bulge of a 3 month old pregnant lady and as of last week, none of my bras fit me anymore. I can’t even put on a sports bra without losing breath.

I know everyone has their own perception of beauty and my issues aren’t about what number I’ve reached on a scale, it’s more of how beautiful I ought to feel on the inside. If I were to love my body as much as I say I would want to, shouldn’t I want to give it only the best by only eating right and living a healthier life?
Big talk from a girl like me, I know. Flaws and everything.
But I’ve been spending the last few weeks of being 24 doing a lot of thinking and I’ve realized that I can’t just sit around moping. If I want something, I need to aspire for it; work for it; attain it and maintain it.

I don’t need a Victoria Secret model’s body, I just need to fit into my clothes again. I need to stop finding excuses to not get things done and actually do them. Most of all, I need to stop getting sick! I need to start loving myself and actually showing this love by treating myself right and then maybe I can start loving everyone else. Or just the ones that ought to be love. jk.
I know I’m not the only person going through this right now which is why I decided to post this. It’s kinda tacky and it’s a haven to hate comments but everyone is always going to have their own opinion. I’m not happy with myself, so I’m going to change it. Not for anyone else but for me.
