She likes to dress up. She likes to wear makeup. She likes to wear pink for summer! Hahaha Really? Nah!! Hahaha (paEpek lang yung intro) I usually dress for comfort. Most of the time, I wear my Toms for work. Haha Yes! But on weekends, I try to be adventurous with fashion. (Me ganon?? hihi) I am not an expert on fashion but I know what’s hot and what’s good in the eyes (Well, mostly to my eyes hahaha I am very biased.). For my post today, I matched my dress with my sneakers because according to converse, “Shoes are boring, wear sneakers!” so I wear one to this outfit post. To add some extra summer vibe on my outfit, I added a layer of crochet vest from my mom and TA-DA! Summer look! I hope you like it! 

I cropped my face. I don't looked nice on that shot. haha Well, this is an #OOTD post, I think this photo counts. hehe

Neon Pink Dress from Forever 21 | Crochet Vest from my mom's closet (thanks mom!) | Sneakers from Converse

Wrist Watch from Guess | DIY Rainbow looms from the convenient store (I made those!!! I will blog about it soon! Wait for it!)

Pink Sneakers from Converse (Thank you to my Uncle Ronald, who gave my first ever sneakers when we visited him in Hong Kong. It was years ago. hahaha) Well, I have my own motto when it comes to sneakers, the older and the dirtier the better!!! Do you agree?

To end the post, a close up photo of myself. Mwaaaahhh hihihi

Our memorabilia from Pasinaya! with Instax Photos! :)

Sbarro and Tender Juicy (I think I was hungry that's why I took photos of this)

Hungry Rover Gastrobus (They were featured on Kris TV)

Jasper's House of Chicken too bad I did have the chance to eat here. I am hoping one day I could have a foodie adventure with food trucks. I remember this guy has a wonderful story. He stopped working and started some small businesses after his son had a fatal accident or sickness (either of the two). haha I just recalled it when I saw it on the venue. I watched that episode on KrisTV. haha What a brave father he is for sacrificing his high salary work for his time with his son. Bravo!

Inside the CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines)

Remember the post about The Great British Festival? They did the same dances. hehehe

Look at these graceful ballerinas

My sister

I am so proud with this shot! hahaha It feels like they are flying!

Curtain call. 

The dances usually ranges to 30 minutes. People are also allowed to take photos. Usually if you watch it on regular days, cameras nor camera phones are not allowed to be used during the show. You don't want any usherette to come near you tell you to stop doing it. It would be embarrassing. During Pasinaya, photographers are everywhere to take photos of the colorful event because it is open house. They are maximizing the once in a year opportunity that CCP has given to them to take photos, except if you got hired by CCP to cover the event. I hope you enjoyed my post. Till next time!

In just two years, Lazada has rapidly established itself as the number one e-commerce retailer in Southeast Asia. The Company has brought the convenience of Internet shopping to customers across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Lazada’s growth has been exponential, driven by its unique offering as an online shopping mall, which understands the differing needs of consumers across a diverse region. The company has also tapped into the growing trend for consumers in Southeast Asia to shop online, particularly in rural areas where there are few physical retail stores.

According to Maximilian Bittner, chief executive officer of Lazada, “Lazada is a destination website which meets the demands of customers across a complex region. We have successfully broken down the barriers to e-commerce in these markets through solutions such as owning our own fleet of delivery vehicles and offering cash on delivery.

Bittner added, “The Company has seen exponential growth over the past two years and we are now the leading online e-commerce business in Southeast Asia. I am proud to be leading a team of people who strive for perfection every day and work relentlessly to deliver incredible services to our customers”.

The company now receives over a million of visit to its website every day, which has state-of-the-art distribution center in every market it operates. From small number of employees, Lazada has now grown significantly across the five regions.

The company also has raised approximately $430 million from leading investors including JP Morgan, Kinnevik and Tesco, which has helped further fuel its growth.

In the Philippines, Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph) is considered as one of the largest online shopping mall, which provides fast, convenient and secure online shopping experience combined with an extensive product offering in categories ranging from mobiles & tablets and consumer electronics to household goods, toys, fashion and sports equipment.

The company is continuously striving to offer its customers the best possible shopping experience with multiple payment methods including cash on delivery, extensive warranty commitments and free returns.

Lazada is owned by Germany-based start-up incubator Rocket Internet.

#AyosNaSummer at the Summer Siren yacht cruise

If you’re a young adult or simply just feeling young, chances are your images of summer are a montage of beach, sea, tanning lotion / sunblock, killer music, party nights on the sand, lazing around, sharing sheer enjoyment with friends. 

An increasingly popular event, the three-day Summer Siren Festival at Crystal Beach in San Narciso, Zambales, delivered on its promise to turn all those images into reality recently, offering a long, carefree weekend of frolic for the thousands who were there.

Organized by Travel Factor and held on several hectares of pine tree-lined beach, Summer Siren featured a mix of activities including surfing for beginners, yoga, Crossfit, Flow Arts Philippines and Planet Zip programs, bamboo art installations, giant beach inflatables adding color to a heady beachfront environment, and a DJ tower with well-known DJs spinning music. More cool happenings were VIP and yacht parties, and particularly marathon concerts featuring top bands from late afternoon far into the evening, followed by party time each night with a refreshing breeze blowing from offshore. 

The bands, singers and DJs who made Summer Siren rock made an impressive list: Up Dharma Down, Franco, The Zombettes, Travis Monsod, Taken By Cars, Pedicab, Techyromantics, Marc Marasigan, DJ Euric, Curse & Bless, Deuce Manila, Nina Saputil, Brian Cua, Coffee Break Island, Joey Santos, Niki Rojas, Yolanda Moon, Skymarines, Pulso, Maude, ArraPascual, Kidwolf, BV, Silverfilter, Vince Teotico, Katsy Lee, Project Collab Manila, DCFER, DJDC, and DJTek. 

A highlight of the weekend was the popular booth of co-presenter AyosDito.ph which had visitors lined up way into the evening, to win prizes for joining fun games and having their photos taken for free. Comedy and film personality Ramon Bautista and Jojo the Love Survivor of Magic 89.9 joined booth guests for an afternoon, with the two later hosting a gut-splitting, audience participation segment during a concert break.

“We joined the event because many visitors to our online classifieds ads site are young people or simply young deep inside, just like us at AyosDito.ph. We want to offer them activities they will enjoy, as our way of expressing our affinity with them. Summer Siren was just such an event,” says AyosDito.ph Senior Marketing Executive Vanessa Lee Cartera.

“Joining the AyosDito.ph community, for young adults, for people who feel young and want to try new things, is a fun thing to do, just like Summer Siren. Filipinos will surely love searching for great summer deals on our website. Transactions on AyosDito.ph are pleasant and we take measures to make transactions safe for you. As a seller you earn from items you want to move on from. As a buyer you acquire things that you need at advantageous prices,” Vanessa explains.

If you missed Summer Siren last time, try not to, the next time around. You’ll want to put it on your bucket list for summer and definitely, you won’t regret the experience.
