I don't know how to start this post na hindi masyadong serious so eto na lang ang ibubungad ko:


SORRY NA SA MGA KUMAKAIN. HAHA. Pag nakatingala selfie na lang talaga kasi ako payat eh. Hayaan nyo na. :p

It's nice na nauso mga #filter and #effects sa mga camera phone nowadays no? I remember dati ang hirap kumuha ng angulo for nice photos. Well, mahirap pa din naman ngayon but relatively easy. Kailangan lang na maabilidad ka ng konti - i.e, tingala selfie. LOL

While Social Media is one of the main reasons kaya naimbento ang mga ganyang chenes to enhance beauty and boost self confidence, there's no denying din na because din of Social Media kaya hindi natin makamtam ang world peace. Charot!

Anyway, have you seen Bianca Umali's brouhaha on FB? I get it if her name doesn't ring any bell to you dahil ngayon ko lang din nalaman name nya. She's this girl na gandang ganda akong tingnan sa TV (GMA) each time I pass through our living room. I rarely watch TV pero pag nakikita ko ang bagets nato, napapahinto talaga ako just to watch her.

Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam ng chismis here's what happened: I'll show you first the screenshot of her photo (that launched a thousand angry netizens LOL) that she recently posted on her FB account.


She edited it na with "LESS or NONE" makeup pero the original post is about promoting self confidence even WITHOUT MAKEUP. She even encouraged her followers to post NO MAKEUP selfies and ended her post saying that the secret to being beautiful is actually a SMILE. Awww, such sweet baby girl. =)

May point naman sya diba? Kaso she's an artista. Bata. Sariwa. Maganda. Makinis. Matangos ang ilong.  I don't know how to explain this any further pero sana na-gets nyo ang point ko. =)

Ang medyo na-bother ako ng slight is how this post drew flaks from netizens. The post was meant to inspire women to be confident and feel beautiful with their own skin and natural looks. Anyare? Reading from the comments, wala syang magandang naidulot. There were hurtful words everywhere. Women terribly pitting themselves against each other. Nasaan ang world peace? Charot ulet!

Poor child. She's a public figure and she's barely 17. I wish people will stop being mean and ibalato na lang ito sa kanya as a life lesson. Sana she will be able to take even the meanest comments positively. You know naman how 'iba' na ang mga kabataan ngayon. Right?

I'm not sure if I'm going to read any updates on this case though dahil mahina ang mirror neurons ko when it comes to Social Media. My heart is sad for Bianca with all the bashing and hurtful words from people unknown to her pero sa edad ko ngayon at sa alindog kong taglay, most of the time I heavily rely on makeup, good camera, nice angles and photo filters to confidently post my selfies . I mean let's get real. Ang maganda ay maganda. Ang hindi masyadong maganda - umanggulo na lang sa selfie. HAHA.


Wishing us world peace,

Yeah, I know it's kinda late... but let's do this: Happy New Year everyone!!! =)

I was drooling (literally) while browsing my FB feeds. Ang sasarap kasi ng handa ng mga tao during New Year's eve eh. We opted for a healthier option kuno, but I bet you can tell from the photo below na hindi ako makahintay lantakan si roasted chicken. Haha!

*67 kilos na kasi talaga ako eh. huhu

Anyway, ang cute lang that we made this grenadine sangria. Ang lakas maka te amo eh. Sangria is basically a Spanish red wine drink mixed with fruits and spices. Pero we used white wine, sprite and Orchid grenadine mixed with lemon and apples instead - wala lang, mas mura kasi than the original recipes online eh. Hehe



Quick side kwento: right after we took this picture, Caylee managed to take a quick sip pero niluwa nya rin right away - and yes you guess it right, sa salad plate nya talaga niluwa lahat! Hahahaha!

Caylee is becoming her own person more and more each day na talaga. May mga times pa rin na hindi ako makapaniwala na iniluwal ko sya. I can see so much potential in her. She's a very smart kid eh. I'm extra careful tuloy sa mga pinagsasabi ko sa kanya during this stage because talagang na-aabsorb nya lahat.


I'm sorry anak, I know you're going to hate me someday for posting this picture with all your cavity glory. LOL pero I need something to constantly remind me how you grew up really cute eh. Ang sabi kasi sayo ni Mama is to smile without showing your ngipin pero you purposely did the opposite because for you that's what happiness is: "Ganun kasi ang happy mama!"

2017 will going to be an adventure for this bagets dahil she likes to be in school na daw. I'm still not sure kung saang school pero I will definitely enroll her on one of the enrichment schools here in Marikina. Merong isang kembot lang from our house eh. Others say it's too early pa daw because magpo-four pa lang sya by July, pero sabi nga nila diba start them early. =)

So yan ang chicka ko today. Hope you guys had a great time reading.


Stay sane,
