During high school, everyone is busy preparing for JS prom or graduation ball. I remember those days, when I and my classmates drew our dream gowns for our prom night on the paper. Because I am best at drawing, they cannot understand what I drew. Hahaha Okey, I confess I am not good at sketching things. I am best at drawing stick figures or flowers, not gowns. One of my friends started laughing at my drawing. He can’t imagine what my gown will look like on the day. Am I that horrible when it comes to expressing myself in sketching? 

When the day had arrived, many of my schoolmates were wearing chiffon evening dresses. They all looked lovely. We all transformed into beautiful swans, every one of us look so stunning. Then, my friends saw me. The one I drew was so not my gown because my gown was way prettier and elegant than my sketch. Maybe I am not destined to be a fashion designer after all. 

When I mentioned chiffon evening dresses a while ago, I decided to share some beautiful gown that caught my eyes. They can be worn in any special occasion like prom, formal gathering, awards night, birthdays or weddings.

Today is other day for #OOTD post. How I wish I could post a lot #OOTD everyday but unfortunately, I have work which requires us to wear uniform 5 times a week. So it means I only have the weekends to wear what I want, right? On weekdays, if you saw me on the sidewalk, mrt or wherever, I looked like someone who doesn’t know how to comb her hair. Haha I don’t put make up on regular days. I think when it comes to make up 101, I don’t excel. I need more training. I am working on it. Anyways, for my outfit of the day, I wore a sleeveless lace blouse and a galaxy mini skirt. I realized if you wore something like my skirt with color blocking, it can hide your huge hips like mine. That’s one huge trick to hide the unlikable parts of your body.

Yes, this is really happening on Monday, July 1st, 2013 for the spring cleaning of Google. They will shut down Google Reader. OMG! So all my 550+ followers on GFC will vanished and all the blogs I have been following from GFC for years will be gone. Damn! After all the hard work I’ve been thru to reach the number of GFC followers, it will now disappeared just like that. In a snap of a finger, poof! Gone! It can also cause decease on our blog’s traffic.

What will be the best solution? 

 I embedded a video so you will have an idea what is bloglovin. (For those who doesn't know it yet)

I suggest to start importing all the blogs you follow to bloglovin before Monday. Here is the link: http://www.bloglovin.com/import/reader It is very easy! Go on dear! Don’t be shy heaven is on your side. 

You can use imotiv.ly/ for following my blog and other blogs too. It is formerly named NuffnangX then one day it changed. Hahaha

My other suggestion is follow my blog and your favorite blogs to NetworkedBlogs. It is on my sidebar! Follow me? XD

You have a lot of choices to import your Google reader but I recommend bloglovin because it is easy to use and I am using it for a couple of years already. I tried and tested it. They also have an application for iphone and android phones so you can read your favorite blogs anywhere you want. Imotiv.ly also has an app for your phone too.

So what are you waiting for, start importing the blogs, you are following, before Google swipes it all on Google Reader.

LAZADA, Southeast Asia’s largest online shopping mall, today disclosed that Verlinvest, a Belgian family-owned, consumer-focused investment holding company, has joined the company as an investor. Existing investors Holtzbrinck Ventures, Kinnevik, Summit Partners and Tengelmann Group also participated in the financing round that injected about $100 million of fresh capital into LAZADA’s German holding company.

“We are extremely happy to have finalized this investment round shortly after our 1st year anniversary and to again focus 100% of our attention on what we enjoy most: providing an amazing shopping experience to our customers” Maximilian Bittner, CEO of LAZADA, commented. “The interest in joining this round and its quick closing has exceeded all our expectations” he added. “We are thrilled to join LAZADA as a partner of Rocket Internet and an investor, the company’s scale and achievements after only one year of operations are highly impressive. Given the management’s track record and the region’s macro outlook we are very confident in LAZADA’s future” Frédéric de Mevius, Chairman of Verlinvest, said.

LAZADA, which recently surpassed 1 million orders, has always maintained the customer experience as its main point of focus and invests heavily to provide superior services to its customers. This focus has resulted in a highly streamlined fulfilment process where currently 90% of all orders are shipped the same day and 85% of orders in metro areas are delivered within the next day. However, to further improve delivery time and increase customer satisfaction the company will use a large part of the freshly injected capital to optimize its fulfilment infrastructure in the near future.

At the same time LAZADA announced the launch of its new mobile application that provides its customers with a fast and intuitive shopping experience using a smartphone. The application is currently available for Android users and an iPhone version is soon to come. “We are very excited to launch this mobile shopping platform that provides additional convenience to our customers allowing them to shop anywhere at any time” said LAZADA’s CMO Stein Jakob Oeie. “Mobile commerce is representing more than 10% of eCommerce in the US and we expect this to develop even faster in Southeast Asia where many users only have access to the Internet through smartphones” he continued.

The application can be downloaded from Google play here.
