Siargao

Our Siargao trip was splendid!

WE!

I am so thrilled! Wedding Essentials featured our wedding kiss for their "Kiss" feature! WE! They must have felt my happiness and bajillion kiligs. A wedding kiss is definitely not just a kiss. It's a kiss unsurpassed, unequaled! Yes, even better than the first kiss, way better ♥

Denim

New stockpile in my closet: DENIM!

If ever I DO have a fashion boo-boos list, it would be messy and full of scratched-offed, penned-back items. And denim would have been the latest one to be penciled in - again. Yes, it screams 90s but no fashion era is really dead, it's just in the make-up room, waiting for its rebound in the runways. I love the urban street-chic that denim exudes, and yes, it can be very laid-back too! When I spotted this denim boyfriend top, I was dead sure it is coming home with me.

And I am currently lusting over these items:

Denim zip bandeau, Topshop.

Short sleeves top, Topshop.

Bleached denim shrunken top with popper fastening, Topshop.
Colarless denim tunic, Osman Yousefzada.

Laced up oxfords, Dieppa Restrepo.
Chain and Denim cuff, Charm & Chain Exclusive.

Cue

Cue night.

What to Blog?

I am overwhelmed with the requests as to what to blog about and I am thrilled that they are topics I'd gladly and giddily share. And I am so thankful that my readers from my blog before (The Daily Blah) are still here eagerly waiting for my upcoming posts ♥

Here are some of the requests:

THE WEDDING - I've really been meaning to blog about my June wedding last year but I did not have the time and avenue to do so. But I'd love to share every juicy details.

TRAVELS - This is one thing I am very passionate about, may it be discovering pristine, hidden islands here in the Philippines or getting lost in a foreign city. My friends have always asked me details about my travels - where to stay, dine, party. And soon, I will be updating my blog about my recent and dated travels.

OUTFITS - This one, I am not very sure. Haha! I used to post "What I wore" in my old blog but now I find it too, uhh, tedious. But who knows, vanity may knock for a visit :)

BEAUTY - This is one thing I am sure I cannot blog about. Haha! I have very little knowledge with cosmetics and I only know the basics of the basics :D Coupled with the fact that I have very sensitive skin so all my skin products are all, let's say, boring :)) I stick with what I call, the essentials - Aveeno, Cetaphil and Clinique :)

So, keep posted, darlings! ♥

Love and Hamburgers

My latest fascination:
SHORT FILMS ♥

Happy Sunday, darlings!

Holidays!

Christmas, I can smell you already!

Why not: Jueteng

Jueteng should have been legalized eons ago. It goes way back Allan Peter Cayetano's past life as a puppy. Tackling why jueteng should be legalized is like delving in a tabooed bin bubbling over topics that have been the bone of contention since the days of old - immorality and poverty. I believe that jueteng is not immoral, it is merely illegal because there are statutes enacted that makes them so. What makes Jueteng illegal is meagerly the lack of permit or grant from the government. But immoral? I highly disagree. Morality is clear as dishwater with mud. Even the greatest minds combined cannot get to the bottom of what is moral and what is not. But seriously, what is immoral with betting? What differentiates jueteng from PCSO lotto andPagcor casinos? Why is cock fighting regulated and Jueteng isn't? If you come to think of it, the only difference is the amount of money involved and to whom these games are beneficial to. My excuses to those who are holier than the pope, but jueteng favors the poor. In this game, their bente singko sentimos matters. The mouths that the kubradors need to feed benefits. I have witnessed it myself, from a bet of twenty pesos to winnings of P36,000 which is already a whale of riches for the unfortunate. The illegality of the game obviously does not stop people from betting.

Keeping Jueteng in the black market is simply fattening the already obese pockets of our stinking politicians. And do you think exposing them will change anything? Let us not forget that they are licensed liars, thickened by years of experience. Legalization of this numbers game will amount to boosted employment and increased revenues for the government. The moral facet of the game should not be dictated by our law makers, it depends solely on the players. Sure, condemn Jueteng, but do so while alleviating poverty and eradicating corruption. Beer for everybody if anyone succeeds in doing so.

Yes

When it's this lucid there's nothing left to do but say YES.

"I have this strange feeling that I am not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling."
