I have been itching to buy a new headphones. I kept on searching and searching the internet, where the heck I could buy a good pair of headphones. It took me a while before I made my final decision because there were a lot of choices especially if you will search it on Lazada.com. Yes, it took me days to decide. You know girls; they keep on changing their minds a.k.a fickle minded.

It was head to head with Philips and Urbanears but I have decided to choose Urbanears. For the reason, it is more stylish and it has a good sound quality. I like the color too. CORAL it is a little bit peachy and pinkish. Hehe Anyways, I bought it thru Lazada.com. After I ordered it online, I think the next thing I knew it was in front of my door already. How fast and convenient, right?

How delightful I was when I saw this when I arrived home. 

Unboxing Urbanears Bagis Coral. Check out the box, extraordinary!

It is so cute! Look at the color. hehehe

The box contains the in-ears headphones, ear sleeves with different sizes, stickers, warranty and a booklet with informations about Urbanears.

Ear sleeves with different sizes. This was one of the reasons why I bought an Urbanears in-ears headphones, they have different sizes for different ears. Unlike the other in-ears headphone they have a default sleeve.  I have a small ears. Therefore, I am so happy they have the small sleeves. Yey! Good job!

For the sound quality, I will give them 9 out of 10. Very clear and it erases noise from the reality. Yes, so true. It feels like you are in your own world once you have them on. It is designed for iphones, blackberry, and htc. It also has a mic so you can use it for phone calls or voice recording.  It is so stylish I am loving every minute and every second I am using it. 

I also want to share with you a PHP 300 Discount Voucher code: LZDbrDgr for A MINIMUM WORTH of P3000 PURCHASE for Lazada.com. Enjoy your online shopping. 

Azalea Residences in Baguio is a hotel along Leonard Wood Road near Teacher’s Camp. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights during our company’s anniversary outing. The place was amazing. The rate was very reasonable for its ambience and rooms. The staffs were friendly and hospitable. When we arrived in the hotel, they greeted us and they served us a drink (juice) from the bar while we were waiting for our rooms.

It was near Session road and to the other attractions in Baguio. We tried to be adventurous and made our way to Cathedral Church. It was fun to walk and to feel the cold breeze of Baguio but if I am in Manila, I would not dare to walk. I would be drench in massive sweat because of the intense heat that’s for sure. If you don’t want to walk you can ride a taxi. It was cheap. Azalea Residences to Session road only cost 47 pesos but only 4 passengers were allowed. We went to different places and I would dedicate a different blog post for it, stay tuned.

Here are the photos from Azalea Residences:

The sign!!!

This is it!

The lobby when you look up. :)

The mini bar - we stayed here while waiting for our rooms.

Ta-da! The bed. I am so sad that I did not take photos of the whole room. I will just narrate what I saw. When you entered the room, you will see a mini kitchen and mini bar. Then, a mini living room with flat screen tv with dvd player. The sofa can be transformed into a bed, so in our room 4 people can stay. There was also a terrace on every room. Moreover, when you entered the bedroom you will see the bed (photo above). It has a flat screen tv and a closet and a mirror. I have no idea where was the aircon, they only have electric fans. (Super tipid nila sa electricity for sure, ang galing sa Baguio) Sometimes when you went out in your room or in the hotel, it is colder. Centralized aircon ang Baguio. Lamig!  Amazing. =))

The fountain in front of the hotel. Just ignore my chubby face and  chubby body and messy hair. LOL!

I recommend the place! XD

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.

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.

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.

Do you remember when I mentioned on my post that I am going to Baguio? Well, here it is.. before the travel post. The feeling foodie post first. Haha I really enjoyed our food trip adventure in Baguio. The prices of the food were not that expensive compare to Manila. You can enjoy a cup of hot choco for 30php or a glass of margarita for 65php with extra shot for additional 25php. OMG! I would be drank if I took advantage of the price.

The first stop was in HE-Brews Bookstore and Café

Well, I just drank a hot choco because I am not yet prepared to eat. I don’t know why. Hehe Diet kunyare. But my officemates ordered pastas and sandwiches. Then, I just smelled their food and wishing I ordered too. Hahahaha They told me, the food was delish and I just smiled and read a book. Hahaha Diet ako e..

They are also selling religious books. It is located near the Cathedral Church.

Our hot choco. I think this was Swiss Miss.. hehehe

It is an eat-all-you-can Mongolian style restaurant. I don’t know if I am satisfied with my food. How I wish they let us ordered with the menu because I have no idea what to combine with the veggies and sauce. My food ended up to be boring and not so fun to eat. (I did not included rice because diet ehhh hahaha) But looking at the people eating on the 1st floor how I wish I just joined them. Hihi However, it is alright because our lunch is free courtesy of our company.

Second floor. They have a simple yet lovely decoration.

Mah food. What can you say?

This was the choices. You will pick some raw veggies and meat add some sauce and they will cook it for you. Depends on how you want it.

It is a vegetarian restaurant. It was hard to locate this but it was worth it. Even though I am not a vegetarian, the food was so tasty and yummy. I can say I can eat if for the rest of my life. I will surely have a long life and sexy body! Nyhahaha char! Another to look forward to this place is art. It is like an exhibit of the local artist. I felt a little hippie and artsy while enjoying my food in this place. The prices of the food were very reasonable.

It was like a hidden paradise on the 5th floor.

Look how wonderful the place was. It felt like I am in another world.

Banana Crepe. Actually we ordered Mango Crepe but it was so good we did not noticed. hahaha 

It was too late to complain.

Oh My Gulay Rice. Heaven! It is a brown rice top with egg, tofu and dashed with oyster sauce plus springkled with sesame seed. Yummmm!

Kabute. It is a vegetarian styled cook carbonara. 

While searching for another place to eat, for the reason my other officemates are very carnivorous, we ended here at Pizza Volante. They ordered steak and Pizza. So this was the night I forgot about the word diet ever existed in my vocabulary. I ate pizza after eating rice and dessert at Oh My Gulay.

The jam packed menu.

Half Margarita and the other half is (i forgot, sorry) hehehe

The steak!

Every wedding has a or several bridesmaids; it depends on the bride if she has many close friends. What will you wear? Have you decided what to wear in those kinds of event? What will I wear if my best friend one day decided to get married? Waaah. I suddenly feel giddy. I want to wear a simple gown. Something elegant and fabulous but not overshadowing the bride, right?

There are a lot of wonderful gowns out there. One of them is meant for you and will fit perfectly.

I have decided what if I try one shoulder bridesmaid dresses for that certain event? I think that would be excellent. Not showing to much skin, it would be the best pick gown ever. So of course, google is always a big help to all of us. Moreover, I started typing my idea of the gown then hit the enter button. Woooh! I suddenly have a lot of choices. Check out the gown I have searched and selected.

I hope this post help you decide what you should wear if you are going to be a bridesmaid. Always remember, always look dashing, elegant and classic when wearing a gown. More importantly, help the bride to have the best wedding ever. I think being a bridesmaid has a huge responsibility to have a successful wedding. Don't forget to lessen the stress of the bride. One more thing,  surprise the bride with a bachelorette party that she won't ever forget. Good luck!

How was your summer days? Right now, the rainy season is starting to take over. But during the time when the rain is not falling you can still feel the summer heat and it is super hot. What I hate about summer is that I can't take the heat especially if I am somewhere else or even at home. However, going out of town trips with my friends and love ones will always be the best part of summer. Beaches, colorful prints, shakes and no traffic will often remind me of summer. It is so much fun to make memories and laugh and be happy.

Hippie vibe for this outfit. Skirt, tank tops with huge belt, rings and my hairdress. I am posting this to say bye bye to summer. I might not see the sun for the couple of days because of the gloomy weather but you will always be in our hearts our sunny shine shine.
