Wedding Photography



If a love story, book or movie ends happily, it will definitely end with a wedding. Actually, that’s how everything starts but usually the fairy tales end with big weddings, diamond rings and kisses. In real life, a family starts with the marriage. That’s how things work in this world. We are supposed to remember this event for the whole life. So how do we make memories come back in our heads? It’s simple, we look at the pictures. The wedding photos mean a lot not only for the brides, but also for mothers, jealous friends, some curious distant cousins and other people who for some reason care about this. It’s not the number of the people who care but the intensity of the desire to look back and relive the moments that count the most. The photos that were taken by some San Francisco Wedding Photographer or some other guy from Nebraska are supposed to have a special energy and to show the best in people. Some brides chose to have a whole photo session day, not the wedding day but just the make up and the photos are the things that matter. Actually this all covers what happens inside her that day. She wants to look the best and to give the brighter light, not only within make up and looks, but also through smiles and emotions. The photographer besides portraits concentrates on shooting the story of the day as it happens, unscripted and spontaneous. It will make everyone who attended the event remember the genuine feeling of the day and the moments and emotions which happened and  were gone in a second, never to be repeated. There remains a short amount of time devoted for the regular portraits and group shots, and they can be seen as an organic part of the magical story of the wedding day. These portraits will decorate someday a bedroom or a living room and will bring the warm emotion in the house. 


The wedding photographs can be sometimes so crazy and at the same time romantic. Let’s take couples who chose to do some crazy pictures in the pool, all dressed up. The photos would show a cocktail of emotions, courage and some childish stuff going on, that in the end it is so sweet to watch and relive. Those who decide to take some classy and traditional photos are never wrong, because simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. So when it comes to your wedding you just do it the way you feel good doing it. What truly matters is the way the special moment gets captured. 

Every girl dreamed about this day since she was little, every father thought about it since his teenage daughter got out on the first date and some first step a young man did lead to this day. This is why the idea of getting the wedding day all captured and then printed on that special paper is always a good one. Let’s say, a wedding picture is worth a thousand emotions and memories.

Revlon Colorsilk Luminista in Medium Blonde (175) Review



I started dyeing my hair when I was in college and I've never had black hair ever since (except when I was pregnant, of course). My hair was initially professionally colored, but it was way out of my student budget and my mom won't fund my vanity so I resorted to hair dyes available at the local drugstore. I've probably tried all sort of brands (Revlon, Loreal, Garnier, Tony Moly, etc.) and colors over the years and this was the first time that I took the time to make a review. Anyway, the product that I'll be reviewing is Revlon Colorsilk Luminista in Medium Blonde. This was the previous dye that I used on my hair (over Revlon Colorsilk Luminista in Light Golden Brown) so I am just using the dye to touch up my roots.


What it claims:

Vibrant color for dark hair, A glowing blonde without the brassiness, 100% gray coverage

Feast on Eat-All-You-Can Skewers at Bar B Skew!



If you are looking for a more sophisticated and fun (not to mention, clean) street food experience, better check out Bar-B-Skew, the latest skew-all-you-can restaurant in Quezon City! Located in CTTM Square at Timog cor. Tomas Morato, you'll surely leave this place full with their eat-all-you-can options.


For only P299 for lunch buffet to P399 for dinner buffet (weekends), you could feast on their unlimited bar-b-skewers. They have a huge variety of skewers from good old isaw to marshmallows for dessert. If you'd ask me which one is my favorite, it would definitely be chicken wings! It takes a little longer for the wings to get cooked, but they're worth the wait!


These skewers can be basted with different sauces offered at Bar B Skew including Soy Sauce and Ginger Sesame. This is where the fun actually begins cause you get to take part in preparing your food. And again if you'll ask me which one is my favorite, the best sauce would definitely be Garlic Butter. :)


Cooking these goodies is easy peasy. You just put the skewers in the automatic rotating griller permanently fixed on your table. The skewers will amazingly rotate on their own and will cook the meat evenly. In 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the meat that you are cooking), your skewers are ready to eat!


The concept for this restaurant was derived from abroad, hence, the tables were customized for that authentic grilling experience. Surprisingly, the area was not filled with smoke from all the cooking. Thanks to their awesome exhaust system which actually looks cool and neat. The live coal though was quite hot from where I was sitting, but it definitely won't get you burned. :)


These marshmallows only take a few seconds to cook. Otherwise, they'll melt. They're still yummy though. :) Aside from these skewer goodies, they likewise have cooked meals in their unlimited buffet such as fried chicken, sisig, and kangkong to get you started while waiting for your skewers to cook thoroughly.

Bar-b-Skew owner, Wero Doma. Thanks for accomodating us!

Aside from unlimited meals, they also offer value meals for only P99 each which will still keep you full and satisfied. These are available all day long (from 11am to 2am). :)

Early November Haul



It always feels like Christmas whenever I receive items from Romwe. Their products are always up to date and the quality could live up to your expectations. Anyway, I'd be sharing to you some of the items I got from Romwe last month. These came in two batches, but they arrived at the same time (probably 3 to 4 weeks from after I ordered them). I made friends with the mailman so I just text him whenever I am expecting a package. :)

Single Oblique Shoulder Nude Pink Dress - $45.99

I got this dress for a friend's wedding. It would be a garden wedding and the bride wanted her guests to wear relaxed formal clothes in light colors. When I saw this dress, I knew that this is the one! I was worried that it won't arrive on time, but it did. It was a huge relief cause I don't want to spend money anymore on clothes. The dress was quite huge for me even if it is already XXS, so I am having it altered. Otherwise, it is perfect!

British Style Red Shirt - $24.99

I actually got this shirt for my sister to match her new Palladium shoes. Hope she would lend me her shoes though. :p

Earth Pendant Necklace - $9.99

I got the necklace for no particular reason. I just like things associated with travelling and adventure. I am quite skeptical with wearing the necklace though cause the globe is inverted. Not that I am superstitious or anything, that might actually mean something. :|:) But I'll definitely wear these items in outfit posts soon!

PS, Don't forget to check out Romwe's latest sale! Up to 50% off on selected party-ready items! Sale lasts until November 11 only! :)

Zalora Shoe Haul



I went online shopping at Zalora a few weeks back when I was stressed with my final exams. Retail therapy definitely works instantly! Anyway, I just wanted to share to you the items I got from them which consists of two pairs of Scarlet flats. :)


These items arrived just a day after I ordered them. Speedy, right? I had these sent to a Metro Manila address by the way cause I actually live in Bulacan.  As to the packaging, the items were packed nicely and safely. The boxes were also labeled properly. The box also came with a discount voucher for my next order at Zalora and a small pack of Downy.

Pretty babies! :D
Gabriella Pointed Flats - P499
Lucille Ballet Flats - P499

These shoes are of the same size (Size US7), but the Lucille Ballet Flats seems be bigger. The Gabrielle flats fits me perfectly though! I have issues with the quality of the product, but they can be easily remedied. I paid for the products using a voucher code sent to me by Zalora and Paypal for the remaining balance. However, they have cash on delivery offered at several locations. Check out http://www.zalora.com.ph/ for more details! :)
