Babies & Brunches

DSCF0261I still have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that most of my friends are already working, let alone getting married and having babies! But yes, I am finally at that age where everyone thinks we have out sh*t together but the reality is, the majority of us are still trying to figure it out.Being an “adult” is definitely a lot harder than what I had imagined it to be and to be honest, I don’t even think I’m half way there which means I have A LOT of growing up and maturing to do. When I was younger, I thought adulthood simply revolved around work and family but apparently, it involves a lot more than that… most of which I am not prepared for and some, I am just grateful to have even experienced. But when life gets hard, and it usually does, I know that I can always lean on my girlfriends for a good support system.Struggles, jobs and people may come and go and I guess that’s a big part of life but always keep your friends close because with the right ones, you will never lose you way!

[VLOG] Quick, Easy and Inexpensive Make- up For School

Posted on by
Reply

I fairly enjoy make up but to be honest, when I started college I hated the fact that I was required to start wearing make up. Youtube wasn’t as big as it is now so I basically learned my make up preferences, techniques and skills from joining make up classes, gay classmates (I miss you all!) and my mom.

Now that the internet has gotten pretty huge, I wanted to do my fair share and give back to my wonderful young readers by sharing with your MY college make up routine. All the make up that I’m using the budget friendly and if you’re not the type to ask your mom to buy you make up, you can easily save up for these products.

I hope you enjoy this vlog and I do hope that you like, subscribe and follow me!

I’ll talk to you soon,

The Asian Taco in Cebu: Pow Bao

Posted on by

DSCF0030

Consider me a little late when it comes to popular food choices in Cebu but like the saying goes, better late than never.

The Asian Taco, also known as Pow Bao, invaded Cebu a couple of years ago, first debuting at our favorite food markets until they finally set camp at the Banilad Town Center. Their handful of choices for fillings offer Cebuanos who love to experiment with food with great options such as chicken, pork belly, chorizo and even tofu!

If you’re looking for something heavier, they also offer rice meals with the same meal options.

DSCF0034

Pao Baw is actually a fusion of Taiwanese food with a touch of Mexican street food which are both great cuisines individually and surprisingly great together.

Not being the most adventurous with food, I was honestly a bit hesitant to try this meal out but I was delightfully surprised that the Asian Taco was really good and not to mention, extremely filling! I personally enjoyed the chicken and tofu fillings the most.

[VLOG] Back To School Looks

School is just around the corner and I’m sure a lot of my young readers are both eager and nervous at the same time. I know a lot of things are running through your heads right now and the last thing you want to worry about is what you are going to wear on the first day of school. I know what it’s like to be you so I’ve decided to come up with a few looks for you to try and replicate for at least the first 5 days of school. 😉

I also want to talk about the quality of my videos, my editing and this whole Youtube thing. I know my editing, backgrounds and what not aren’t the best right now and I’m trying reallyyy hard to learn how to edit on my own so if you have any suggestions and ideas, please let me know so I can apply them in my next video. Your opinion means a lot to me and I am always looking for ideas to make this blog better!

Lastly, for this video I also tried to wear brands and clothing that are affordable and school appropriate. Some of you might be ashamed to shop at department stores but that shame speaks more about you and the kind of person you are. No offense, but it’s the #truth. Although there are a few looks that are sleeveless, don’t hesitate to wear a jacket over it, if needed! Here are the brands that I have featured in this vlog:

Look 1 (Monday)
Off shoulder top: Meanies Closet | Jumper: Zalora| Lace ups: Tutum Shop| Choker: Yourfashionfriend_Cebu

Look 2 (Tuesday)
Choker top: Gaisano| Trousers: Vero Moda| Flats: MaggiesBox

Look 3 (Wednesday)
Headband: Forever21| Top: Forever21| Pants: Lets Stylize| Sneakers: Metro Ayala Department Store

Look 4 (Thursday)
Top: Abercrombie & Fitch| Pants: Gaisano

Look 5:
Dress: H&M| Kimono: Let’s Stylize| Sneakers: Adidas

Still really trying to learn how to make fashion vlogs so please bear with me. 😛 But this is definitely a big jump from my first “Rainy Day Looks” video! haha. Anyways, check out a few back to school look ideas that are perfect for colleges located in warmer places. If you’re from the Philippines and you have strict dress code rules, you can still use a lot of these ideas by just throwing on a nice sweater to match!

I understand that a lot of us has issues with our bodies especially if we’re a little of the bigger side. On a couple occasions, I’ve had a few readers come up to me and share how they do not enjoy dressing up as much because fashion is only created for skinny girls- I cannot tell you how wrong you are, girlfriend.
