Hello, BFFs!

I know matagal-tagal na rin na since my last share of anything nice that beautifies. I've been held up by different factors and circumstances that comes with life. It's no excuse, I know, but will it help if I say that one of those circumstances involved a wedding? :D

Yes, my wedding and I will come back on this site with reviews of my wedding suppliers. It was intentional that I didn't post a blow-by-blow account of my wedding preps. Ni hindi ko nga rin in-announce sa personal Facebook account ko eh. Not even the engagement. I kept mum about my wedding for several reasons. One, ayaw ko ma-jinx yung wedding. Two, konti lang invited. We wanted it to be as small as possible with only close relatives and very close friends. And three, para pwede pang mag-ala runaway bride. Hehe...kidding!

Anyhoo, I would be sharing with you the details of my wedding. I'm hoping to provide some tips and advice on wedding preps and avoid the mistakes I did. You will hear it all soon!

3 Shopping Lessons on Scoring Great Finds

I am a fan of nice and trendy clothes pero hindi ako mahilig gumastos. I always wait for "The Sale". Minsan, kahit na gustung-gusto ko na ang isang bagay, I'll still wait for it to be on sale. Mahilig din ako sa tiyangge. Hindi ako brand conscious. Basta bagay sa'kin, GO! Lagi kong motto: Nasa pagdadala lang yan! Mamahalin nga kung di mo naman bagay or di mo naman alam dalhin, wala din. Pero pag kering-keri mo, magmumukha na ring mahal. It's all in your projection and confidence, dear. ;)

Pero pag may nakita talaga akong great bargain at bagay na bagay ko, kahit na di ko naman balak mag-shopping bibilihin ko na. Sayang eh. It's like serendipity. I'll justify it by saying, "it found me...it's destiny!" Hahaha! Kahit na di naman ako naniniwala sa destiny. Hehe...

Like today, I saw this pretty little white dress at Ensembles. Sobrang marked down price. From Php1,795, Php299.00 na lang! Eh favorite ko pa naman na one-shoulder style. So, bought it kagad kahit na one size bigger siya sa'kin. Wala nang small, medium na lang natira. Keri na! Pa-repair ko na lang. Here's the dress:

What? Crunches don't work???

Found this article on Yahoo! that says crunches do nothing to achieve a toned abs. Huwat???

I'm sure most of you ay katulad ko ng akala na it's the best way to contour the tummy area. Hindi pala? More importantly, it's bad for the spinal discs pala because of the strain it puts on the back. Push up daw is a better way because it works the whole body, including arms and legs, without straining the back.

What My Home-based Job does to me…

(Old post from HeBlogs-SheBlogs but appropriate for BFF)

No, I'm not a model.  And no, I'm not going to any party.  I'm all dolled up because of my work.  Not because I'm attending a meeting or a conference or any of the sort.  My job is home-based and my office is in my bedroom.  Now, don't go gaga and assume that I'm doing something indecent, immoral or illegal. You know what I'm talking about.  NO, that's NOT what I do for a living!

Planner Crazy

Yikes! It has been what? Three months already since my last post??? Wow, sobrang tagal na nun ah.  Promise, I planned to post something before Christmas. I actually had written something on some scratch paper. Tungkol sa Christmas planning and decorations ko sa bahay. Pero sabi ko, I had to take pictures pa muna of each corner para ma-include ko sa blog post. Pero hindi ko pa tapos ang decorations so I kept putting it off hanggang sa mawala na sa plano. Argh!!! Then came Christmas, then New Year, then Chinese New Year! At natapos na rin ang Valentine's Day na wala man lang akong nai-share na kahit ano!  Wala akong kwentang BFF....huhuhu...

Pero in my defense naman, marami rin kasing mga kaganapan sa buhay ko pagpasok pa lang ng taon. And nabanggit ko un sa Mother Blog kong SheBlogger's NeverWonderLand. Anyway, eto na ulit ako para maghatid ng mga nice things in life.  Since I failed miserably in my blog planning, there is no better way than to start with a post that has something about planning.
