Ho-Ho-Ho!

                                       

Christmas crunch time is upon us! Exchange gifts here, Christmas reunions there, the never-ending last minute Christmas shopping and Yuletide decorations everywhere...


There's no denying that the holiday season is here! I know that this last quarter hasn't been exactly great for the Philippines :( But if anything, I think it gave us more opportunities to be centered on others and lift others in prayer to God. It even made us think twice before posting anything remotely giddy on Facebook or Instagram... Admit it, you felt guilty and just decided to post your foodie trips a week after Yolanda hit us.. :P Hehe! Many companies waived their Christmas parties to donate their budget to the victims. Many celebrities and hotshots all over the world have extended their hands to help our country. Even Justin Bieber came all the way to Tacloban to put a smile on the locals' faces. (Kudos to you JB!)

So I dare say that we are now better, stronger and more other-centered.

But yesss, it's okay to celebrate in our own way and look around with that feeling of appreciation to what we have despite the situation that our country is in.

Just like what I picked up from one of meetings with our partner yesterday, "we don't have much to be happy about, but we have some things to be thankful for."

So enjoy and have fun :) Keep calm and let's celebrate with our loved ones. :)

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
