Sophie Paris' Fashion and Beauty Soiree 2013

Holler at the beautiful and confident ladies of my city! I've got great news for you all, Sophie Paris, an international direct-selling company dedicated to bringing you the latest of fashion trends, is hosting a fashion and beauty soiree (hence the title of this post) on Saturday, May 25, and you're all invited to come! This will be at Mallberry Suites, Cagayan de Oro City. Registration starts at 10 in the morning, and booths open at around 12:30pm. Tickets are sold at Php150, very cheap given that aside from a fashion show (featuring last year's Bb. Pilipinas 2nd Runner, Ali Forbes) and a very possible boothathon, they'll be giving away goodie bags and their folle d'amour perfume for everyone registrant.

I personally am going and will be expecting a lot of things in store! Like-minded individuals are encouraged to share this post through twitter, facebook, instagram, and every other social media you're on!

On Being Straight Edge

Hey guys! I just would like to take a moment to declare my Straight Edge-ness. That means at nutty nineteen, I am totally drug-free, alcohol-free, smoke free (not even an e cigaret), and living life without promiscuity. I'm just putting it out there, I ain't judging those who are already out there. I really don't have any right to that, but I'm not saying that I don't care if people are doing it, because I do, really do. I know that our generation are often misunderstood for being reckless, lazy and extreme. And really I'm sad that adults think that way of us, but looking at it rationally, aren't we giving them reason to think of us that way?

Just so you know I've been straight edged for a while. I made this decision not because I'm following a rule, nor a trend but because I deeply believe that not every young person out there has to drink or have a vice to survive the pressures of our own teenaged society. I mean, a good number of my friends started drinking after college because people are pressuring them to. We have a choice, we can say no.

Philippine Traditions: Pasalubong

Let me start by defining to you non-Filipinos what pasalubong is. (Native Filipinos, please skip this part). A Pasalubong is a token or a gift or a little something something (souvenirs, food, random items) given to a loved one or just about anybody usually after a trip (a vacation or return from abroad). A pasalubong is also used to denote the food (famously donuts or pansit) the head of a family takes home for his children after work. It is an integral part of the rich culture the Philippines continues to practice even today, regardless of wherever they may be.
