Time Of My Life

Dance. Dance. Dance. Thank you God for these moments! 2011 in general,  has been a blast for me. <3

 

And it’s funny when I think I’ve finally gotten over this CDC thing, the feelings come back..

Did you guys watch the UAAP CDC 2011 last 17th of September?

I did on TV and it was crazzzzy! I’ve seen all the school’s performances but I think there was none more anticipating than the UST SALINGGAWI dance troupe!!

 

Ow alright, I’m biased ~ heee. It’s been years already since I performed for the UAAP CDC and I must say those repeat championship years were just so glorious! And although UST didn’t win this year, they are really at the top of their game. Btw, this year’s theme was all about faith and UST’s 400th birthday. I don’t give a crap what others are saying about UST ~ sometimes things just don’t work out the way you had hoped them to be but I’ve always believed in God and in my school so a very traditional theme is right up my alley. :]

Don’t worry guys, things will turn around, maybe we’ll get the crown next year. HAVE FAITH!

Anyway, I got really emotional when I started seeing old pictures again to reminisce those glory years…

 

Heard that the UAAP CDC 2012 will be held at the SM MOA Arena! Maaan I’m so watching!

5 Ways To Get Your Morning Groove Going

I ENVY PEOPLE who can sleep properly and easily shut-eye their way out of a night’s worry. I’m not a morning person and I don’t stick to a regular sleeping schedule. I fail at getting up at the same time everyday and for some reasons my appetite has been lost. :s Or if I may have a raging one, it must be occasional binge, one that provides me superhuman comfort (think turon with ice creams!! XDD). Days like this, I can’t fight bed gravity; I would need a coupla’ cups of coffee to instantly get the perk-me-up mood. And I know it’s bad since caffeine interfere nightime sleep but they are simply delectable in my tastebuds! Haha. All this heat is festive and lazy and fun to oversleep but summer is summer! :]]

So for those lazy days when I’m feeling grungy, these stuffs are the comfiest things I do in the world to get that bright morning spirit, but are certainly not short on the benefits:

1.) Chow down on quick and easy dishes!

I love preparing breakfast, so today I made a… *drum rolls*

Strawberry Butter Sandwich!

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: Serves 2

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp Strawberry Preserves
• 4 slices toasted Bread

How to make Strawberry Butter Sandwich:
• Take a small bowl and add strawberry, butter and sugar to it.
• Beat it until you get the desired consistency.
• Cover and refrigerate it for about 2-3 hours.
• Spread it over bread slices and enjoy it immediately.

I love the finer things in life and eating strawberries is one of them. But I don’t over-indulge, except if it’s chocolates ‘coz that may just land me a gross mystery illness of sorts (OKAY TOTALLY RANDOM STORY) so for added flexibility I tried Yoga, but this most of all…

2.) Do aerobics!

For your viewing enjoyment, here’s a hiphop aerobics video at Slimmer’s World from the summer of 2008:

Flexibility needs TONS of baby steps to take. And since I do it regularly, it’s second nature! I don’t know, Aerobics will probably ruin your life ‘coz it’s addictive and all but I don’t want to get a balloon belly either. I don’t have a flat tummy though, but I’d rather like it cute and cuddly like small pillows. Mehehe. ~ And just recently: Ezeck’s in Town (SEE: the chinky-eyed guy on the aerobics video)!! Remember his despedida HERE? And it’s not like everything about reunions is all grand because in the mix, there’s the most hurtful part of consuming tons of the hard stuff. But Aerobics I must say is helping heaps to burn of all that beer! Yeaah. :]

3.) Watch quick summer hairstyles videos by Bubzbeauty!

Because they make a world of difference. ‘Nuff said.

4.) Go out for a bike!

And this is like 500 days of summer inspired.

5.) Have a cute desktop!

What to do: Download cute icons here . Find a nice wallpaper on the internets, right click on your desktop, and tweak in your creativity to get your morning groove going.

Manila Hotel’s Newest Attraction: The Cafe Ilang Ilang

SO MANILA’S GLITZY CROWD converged at the Manila Hotel recently to witness the media launch of the hotel’s newly renovated resto, Cafe Ilang Ilang. Themed with a weekly buffet, it offers great Asian, European, Mediterranean, and Western cuisines. It is part of the stunning event to have usherettes and guests performers during lunchbreak that my dance team (the Whiplash dancers) and I happily presented. I tell you guys, with its international menu, Cafe Ilang Ilang could be an ideal place for lunch, dinner or cocktails.  :]

Anyway though, the best part was the food sampling at the finish. I gorged tons of gelato – tiramisu, walnut, mocha & mixed berries, I guess. They were all good but the best was the tiramisu gelato. Nyaha! And oh btw, my hair was in curly hairstyles (yes, gorgeous squiggles on my hair) ‘coz X, who is a hair expert, twisted my hair like never before. I think he can become a great stylist someday. And quite frankly, hair that’s not straight is always so much more interesting than simple straight and boring. *_*

Btw, wearing the glittered mask barely showed my face. But I love being a Mediterranean princess, ‘coz I’m doing it for the job and the food was kick-ass. :}

PHOTOS!! – since details are boring. :D

and here’s a video of us while sampling desserts and waiting for my teppanyaki ice cream to finish frying!

happy tummy! @#$%^&*()  :D

For Your Viewing Pleasure

HEY GUYS ! I know I owe you all apologies since I’ve been AWOL for the last 5 days, but you have to understand, I was crazy busy at the 2011 Coca Cola National Sales Convention, dancing, performing and snapping pictures of our own, and it was madness. I won’t fizzle out tonight I PROMISE and keep you updated with more stuff, but for now you’ll just have to satisfy yourself with the visual spoils from the weekend:

First up, some Solenn Heusaff pictures goodness. Photographed by Perry Villa (and some pictures stolen from the internet for the other unwatermaked photos hehs), and all worked on whilst I am busy with other insanely stuff so I’m weeee~ing for my dance team for having the chance to perform with Solenn Heusaff! (wow that rhymed!)

The Whiplash Dancers performing at the 2011 Coca Cola National Sales Convention:

It’s extra exciting to find out how very talented  and beautiful their new ambassador is. Yes people, Solenn Heusaff is the new ambassador for Coke Zero! Not only does she have pretty face, but she’s also one of the final 4 survivor in Survivor Philippines.  Ooooh.*drooling*

And because you know we’re superstars in our own right and we are who we are, I’m going to hit you with my best solo shot. :]

And I managed to perform with Vanessa and Dazha, my Salinggawi batchmates, again after a year of zero training! Also: with ate Geraldine, my pole dancing and Vegas strip classes teacher. :]  This wasn’t the first time we’ve danced on TV, but oh world! It was the first time we’re together for a TV show and it just totally kicked ass. It wasn’t perfect, but we’re happy with it. Seriously. :33

Also, if you want to see the fun and craziness we got up to,  click here for our Tv5 Po5 behind the scenes photos!

and since I know you want to see videos as well. Okay, fine.  CLICK HERE :]] XDD

Dance With Silver

SO I GOT A RIDICULOUS amount of chains, belts, and bracelets right over here which I hoarded last week after gorging on buttered shrimps and crispy squid fries with my folks. Amazing that the Dampa sa Libis has now “Tiangge” stalls and omg I think I will vouch to return for more. The best part is that their prices are reasonable. I think it’s perfect since I love acessorizing to the hilt when performing for a dance show and of course, I love my outfit with touches of silver.

I don’t think I could wear them for my everyday activities, though. :]

Photos!!

I know. That last picture looks a bit blurry. So here’s a better shot of what I wore during one of our dance performances. :]

Hype this look on Lookbook.nu!
