If you’re new to Pandora and recently received, or purchased, your very first bangle bracelet or barrel clasp, with an extensive catalogue of 600 sterling silver, 14k gold and two tone charms, it is understandable to be lost from there on. The best thing to know is that these bracelets are not as fragile as they appear, and can actually hold between 17 and 20 charms, so there’s no need to make difficult decisions when choosing your charms!

The Bestsellers

Pavé Charms

The pavé charms are a very popular collection from the Pandora jewellery selection. It means the stones in the charm are put very closely together with lots of small stones. Pandora usually use light clear stones such as the Pink Pavé Light which look feminine or darker tones such as the Blue Pavé Lights or Red Pavé for bolder statements. The colour from these pieces is always dazzling. The best part about the pavé charms is you can use them with any other collections to mix up your bracelet, or even lots together to create a sparkle.

Heart Charms

Hearts have always been used in jewellery, and Pandora uses them within plenty of different themes, including the Pavé and Murano as well. The pavés have their own heart shaped theme, one even being a Triple Heart design. In particular the heart shaped Red Pavé Heart Charm uses red cubic zirconia which sparkles against the sterling silver of the charm. Heart designs are very fashionable at the moment and the category to find them is Love, although they can be gifted for many other reasons. The pendants set off the colours in a similar way to the pavés but are smaller hearts and dangle; they can include black crystal and clear or red cubic zirconia.

Murano Beads

These are Italian circular glass beads that use colours in a similar way to the pavés; for the dainty or for the fierce statement. The charm is made from sterling silver and glass which means the light, reflects from the charm and therefore mixes with the other pieces on your bracelet. It is always suggested to go for colours with the Murano beads, and there are plenty to choose from, including this Autumn’s new Green Faceted Murano Charm which is perfect for this season. They are exceptional if you want to create a colour coded bracelet where you choose your gems and Murano in sync with one another.

Once you have filled your bracelet with your chosen charms there maybe left over space that is not quite big enough to fill with another charm. This is the reason to use spacers. There are two types of sizes although they are usually around 1/3 of the size of a normal charm, and are still beautifully designed so they compliment the bracelet. They are also useful if you have many dangles, to stop them clashing against each other.

Whether you decide to choose a few charms on your bracelet or completely fill it, there are plenty of genuine gemstones or colourful combinations to be made from the extensive catalogue.

Most of these days, it’s easy to detect what’s in and what’s hot in the market. Just by logging in to our social medias, surfing the internet and checking out the trending subjects, you will surely know what to buy, when to party, where to eat or how to do certain stuffs. In our world today, we have the easiest access to the information we needed. How lucky we are to have what we called the internet. Searching ideas, reading news, blogging, checking our emails can surely take our time when we are online. Not only that, it also influences us on our daily lives. For example, I am looking for a new restaurant to try. Which online resources I usually refer and influence my decision? 

In my case, I have a list…

No.1 – Social Media

If people are tweeting and sharing non-stop, they keep on raving something good about this restaurant, I will surely check on it. There are times, you just want to be in and be one of the cool dudes who went there first. Another scenario is if my favorite celebrity has visited a certain place and recommends it by sharing a photo on Instagram or facebook or a tweet pic. I will visit it too.

No. 2 – Blog reviews

Just like any blogger, your opinion matters. That’s why before I go to a certain place I check on my foodie bloggers for their ratings about the food of the new restaurant. If they gave 5 stars out of 5, I will hurriedly be going there, as fast as a lighting thief. As a blogger too, I want my reviews to be honest and detailed so I could help other people and my readers to know the facts and my opinion as well. Let our voices be heard.

No. 3 – Mobile Apps

Trustworthy apps just like looloo and trip advisor are one of mobile application that I truly rely on. Their recommendations are a must. I never gave them a doubt. They help us discover the hidden paradise of a foodie.

In short, I check on social media sites, then google about the new restaurant, click on the reviews either on a blog or on the mobile app. If I am convinced, time for a scrumptious meal. Yey! 

Outback Steakhouse is an Australian themed restaurant (according to their site). Their main dishes are beef and steak but they also offer chicken, ribs, seafood, salads, desserts and pasta dishes. The place was cozy and they have attentive personnel. For this meal, we ordered grilled pork chop and baby back ribs while waiting they served us a bread and butter for free.

Baby Back Ribs - These fall-off-the-bone ribs are exactly the way ribs should be! Succulent and saucy, each rack is smoked, grilled to perfection and brushed in a tangy BBQ sauce. Served with Aussie Fries. (Munchpunch.com)

Grilled Pork Chop - A center cut, seasoned pork chop served with Aussie fries (Munchpunch.com)

Both have an amazing taste. They have large servings and Aussie fries. Baby back ribs were so tender that it can be easily removed on its bone. It has a hint of sweetness. You don’t need to order rice to feel your stomach is full unless you have a metabolism of a hungry anaconda that could eat a whole cow. If yes, order extra rice. For me, the grilled pork chop was much tastier. Even though I ordered the baby back ribs, I want to still those grilled pork chop to my beau after tasting it. Damn! It was delicious!

Summary:

Place = 4

Serving = 5

Taste = 5

Overall = 4.6

The IOS 7 is the latest operating system by Apple for iphone, ipad, and ipod. Of couse! I joined the bandwagon and I hurriedly updated my software on my ipad mini.

After 3 hours of waiting, well, am I impressed with it? I guess, my first reaction is, “this is it??” The icons just got flat and it became more like an android. As an android user for quite a while I can pin point every detail that is very android-ish. When everyone’s feeling wonderful or excited, for me I am a little bit disappointed. For the reason, I am not against or what-so-ever with Apple however, maybe I expected too much change or innovation from them. 

Let me give you a tour on IOS7. Ready? Go! 

The screenlock. - I changed it with the new wallpaper. It moves.

The passcode - with the different keypad. 

Look at my home. So hipters, I love galaxy that's why I have chosen this wallpaper. I think this is the first wallpaper you will encounter.hahaha I have no time to browse. I am instantly fell in love with it.

The icons has a brand new design. It became more colorful and flat. No more 3D icons for IOS 7.

The new notification - you can check the weather update, your schedules, activities from your app and a lot more. It is located on the same place. From the top then swipe down.

The new folder - it is unlimited apps in a folder, but I want it when I can see all the apps in one viewing though. The 10th app will be placed on the next page of the folder, just swipe it to the left.

The taskbar - you can view all the open apps by swiping to the left then, swipe to the top to kill the task or the app.

The new Siri - it has a larger view of the results of your conversation. It has an improved commands too. I tried it, when I was bored, I also tried to have a nice conversation with Siri. It was fun, nosebleed lang ng slight and medyo bingi si Siri paulit ulit ako para magets nya. hohohoho

The photos - you can view it by year, month, album or by location. (I saw this first on android) It's organized. You know me, everything with organizing things is a plus points.

Even Safari has a  new layout but I rather use Google Chrome, it's much faster. hihi

Camera - New HDR setting plus the square set-up. Well, I like the square thingy for IG. I am a sucker for taking photos and posting it on IG. No more cropping photos for me.

Updating application - Very android. I have nothing to say.

I found an error, look at the calendar when it's on vertical mode. 

The year of the calendar was not shown properly. It is incomplete. 

How about you? Any thought/s or suggestion on the New IOS 7? Share your comments below.

Drumroll please! It’s another #OOTD post from me. I am sure I am back on track on my blogging. I can’t wait for December. I love Christmas, gift giving, holidays and cold weather. Ber months are always happy months for me. It makes me smile to hear Christmas carols, bright lights from every corner of the town, cold breeze of the air, Santa Claus everywhere and gifts under the tall Christmas trees. I can feel the love in the air. I am such a sucker for Christmas. 

Anyways, have I shared to you that I won a contest from Kolours? I was one of the 20 lucky winners to receive a Kolour’s hair color package. I haven’t claimed it yet but I will inform you once I have claimed it before October 31, 2013.

I have a friend who’s about to be married 3 months from now and as of the moment we are currently on the verge of making the final decision regarding which wedding dress to choose. Her mother suggested me to wear the traditional white gown because it looks good on her. On the other hand, I insisted that she must go for the fashionable choice by wearing a colored wedding dress… Which one should she choose to wear on her big day?

 She cleverly decided to entertain both of the lovely ideas in subtle manner and avoid rushing into things. After all, we only want her to be the best looking bride on her wedding day. So we searched extensively on the internet, and these are the wedding dresses I found on thegreenguide.com. These gowns instantly caught our eyes and my friend immediately fell in love with them:

She said that if she’s going to wear a colored gown then she will definitely go for this. This red toned dress depicts a romantic feel which is suitable for the theme of the occasion.

Which is a more stunning dress? Is it the exquisite white or the romantic red? I hope you will be able to help my friend make the final decision.

Eligibility: This raffle is open to Filipino residents who have a website or personal blog that has been active for more than three months. Employees of Lazada E-Services Inc. and its promotion agencies, including their relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, are not eligible to join.

Hello there! I am back with vengeance! After the short hiatus here on my blog, I am backkk. I am alive and kicking. You don’t know what I’ve been thru the couple of weeks ago. I was sick. Yes, even though I feel sick as always but this time it was serious. During the typhoon ‘Maring’, I was lying on my bed sleeping and wishing my fever was gone. Those were the toughest days. My stomach was aching. I felt light headed. Every time I ate, I vomit. I have no appetite to eat nor drink even water but I kept on trying and stuffing food on my mouth. Then, I had my period which makes everything worst. Okey, wait! Let’s rewind on 1st day I got sick. It was Friday morning, when I had a headache so I took advil. Then, during the afternoon, I was chilling. They only thing I want to do then was to go home. I am so thankful my beau offered me to pick me up near my office and he sent me home. The next day, I am so hot, literally. I got a high fever then, I felt all the symptoms that I said earlier. After 6 days of agony, I told my mom to have me check-up. The only thing that stopping us was the bad weather and of course! The freaking flood. I want to be confine at the hospital when I felt I can’t take it anymore. I kept on praying and praying until the next day. I was like much better than yesterday. My mom took me to the hospital. The doctor told me to have a urinalysis, blood extraction and dengue test. After 4 hours, I had the result and it’s all negative. Super weird. I know for a fact that I might have dengue because my gums were bleeding. It made me worried when I read it was one of the signs of dengue fever. However, I am thankful for having a good result. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers. After a few days, I am soaring high again. 

Sometimes, things happen for a reason. I think God made me sick to help me appreciate life even more. It is effective. He help me realize He is there to guide us and never forsaken us. Now, I value my life,  health and everything that surrounds me more than ever.

Sunshine on my window... The storm is over. hihi But the truth is, it was the first song came up on my mind. hehe

She is acting to be my assistant. Cute! I will post her photo soon. From now on, I will try to be more madaldal on my blog. Amen!
