Ever since I gave in to crafting, I found 2 or more homes to keep me sane. Aside from my family, I found handmade bazaars, my co-crafters, and my usual bazaars, my another homes. Home is where your heart is, and for the past 4 days of selling in Eastwood- though I am totally nervous about it- I found a new home to feel secure, and happy, even if I am not with my family. And the above photos show some snippets of how happy those days were and I can't be anymore happy to share an entire blog post about it.
For now, I am trying to catch up with the 4 days I was gone, so please expect one more psot right after this! Meanwhile, here's another feel-good song I am currently listening to. In as much as I love oldies songs, I also love some covers that added twist and new melody to the old songs. One of which is a cover done by Max Schneider and Megan Nicole, for Al Green's LET'S STAY TOGETHER.
It's been months that i haven't poseted my usual Sunday music! Gawd been so busy that I totally neglect blogging on Sundays! But anyway, I am back on track again! And for this day, this song, I am pretty sure is not your typical likes haha! You know how much of a fan, big fan I am of old songs! And one of which that I have been searching fo, is this song from Twilight! the first time I heard it from a prom scene at Twilight part 1 movie, I fell in love with it! The melody and lyrics might be too old or too confusing, but for me, I find it so romantic! :)
Did you know that Kristen Stewart herself chose this song to play on the prom scene Twilight (2008) ? Then on the wedding scene at the Twilight (2011) respectively? Such nice choice she got there. :) Hope you'll love it as much as I do! :)
We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow
First and foremost I am not undergoing any love-hate problems in my life right now haha! It's just that the chorus of this song, just struck me. I mean, of all the things happening now, how my life gets so fast everyday- the truth is I am just an ordinary person and taking things slow sometimes is just okay. Slowly but surely as they say.
This has been playing on my ipad lately, if you want to relax and just feel a bit slow but steady for a day, then listen to this one! Don't you just love John Legend?! :)
I am not the right person who knows much about music. My taste is really weird. I am young, and should have known more about the latest hits, bur I know more about the oldies songs, and I don't know why I am always into them. If you'd ask me what is the latest song today, I don't know seriously haha! So anyway, I was bombarded with Swedish House Mafia posts from Facebook, to Twitter, to blog posts, and that made me wonder what the fuss is all about. I googled them and searched Youtube, and found this cute video!The oldies-music-lover I am made me fall in love into this song in just one play! Go ahead listen to this one and watch the video, sure you gonna be spelled by these cute dogs! :)
I will be having one more post today before I go offline to do some crafting!
It's 2013! And I would like to continue my Sunday ritual of sharing with you my favorite songs through my SUNDAY MUSIC segment. This week, I am madly in love with Michael Jackson's I JUST CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU a song from his Bad album. I always have this penchant with old songs. For me they're way better and meaningful. Michael Jackson's one of my favorites. I wish I was able to watch him live on his concerts but thank God for youtube and itunes and you can just download his albums and videos in a few click! So there you go, hope you enjoy this one. I will be having more posts for today! :)
Hello everyone! It's Sunday and you know it's time to for some ABOUT ME Q&A portion! By the way see that video? I have been listening to that the whole! It
s Human Nature cover by Glee go listen to it first!
So let's begin!
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER IS YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT?
question by Evangeline Go
I guess living for 24 years happy and inspired to do more, is enough for me to say my greatest achievement. All the good things happening to me (blog, business, career and more) are all my achievements. In life, big or small things are greatest achievements already.
IS IT HARD TO HAVE AN ONLINE SHOP? I PLAN TO HAVE ONE
question by Mary Gee Ismael
YES it is hard. Nothing in this world is easy in the first place hehe. It is up to you how to deal with it. In my case, handling Simone's Closet eats up my time and my energy. You just need a good business plan in mind and a positive thinking all the time. :)
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK SOME FASHION TIPS ABOUT MIXING AND MATCHING FOR BOTTOM-HEAVY GIRLS.
question by Maria Jobelle Lopez
Ooh that's my problem also haha! I like how my body size is but when it comes to my hips, they're just too wide for me that I find it hard to buy jeans. So based on my experiences, it's best for you to wear a bell-bottom jeans in dark shade it helps in balancing-out curves and lengthening your legs. You could also try maxi skirts, pencil-cut skirts but avoid too tight and too short shorts for they would just expose much of your hips :) HOPE THIS HELPS!
HOW DID YOU START AS AN ACCESSORIES SELLER?
question by Verna Joyce Abril
I started in the year 2010 I love crafting and I used to make my own accessories. I thought of selling them online and see if people would appreciate my crafts and surprisingly they did! And i guess lakasan lang ng loob talaga that you invest on money to craft accessories without guarantee of how much money in return you will get. After all, if you love what you do, then there's no point in failing right? :)
Hey it's good to be back!!! Gone for 2 days as in literally 48 hours of being offline! Yay to that! It's good to be disconnected once in a while to give time to offline activities well in my case, bonding with Marise, mall hopping, TV marathon (which I only do once in a week!), crafting, and of course endless photoshoot and bonding with friends.
So yes I just did another shoot for SIMONE'S CLOSET for our last (but definitely not the least collection) for 2012!!! We're doing it outdoors this time! Much challenging but definitely enjoying!
Below are some vanity shots we had yesterday...
Oh well pardon my mascot face!!!haha! :)
We tried the jump shot!!! after several tries, we made it!!! And yes of course with my mascot face again!!!:)
I have tons of things to do and I can barely imagine how to do them all, but I'll rise above all of these!!!haha! And to help me to stay positive, I've been listening to Glee's revival of UNPRETTY a song originally by TLC! I just love the message of the song. Go listen to it!
Hope you're having a happy Monday as much as I do! :)
How are you doing guys? Sorry for replying late to your pm's in facebook, dm's and tweets in twitter. I just got back to the circulation once again haha! Took a day off to shop for hubby's gift. He's celebrating his birthday on November 3 so I took the whole day yesterday to ransack the mall haha kidding aside, I was able to buy gifts all I need to do now is hand him the gift.
Anyway, sharing with you a song I just find too cute haha! Colbie Caillat's songs are too cute to pass. I love how it gives me this certain good vibes. Anyway enjoy the song, and I bet you're all savoring your semestral break right? I wish work have sembreaks too but sadly NO. haha oh well the perks perils of a working woman haha!
hey guys! Sorry for being MIA yesterday. Just like what I've posted in facebook earlier, I've spent the wholeday yesterday for family bonding and some much needed rest, eating while watching Walking Dead Season 3.
And because I was not able to post any SUNDAY MUSIC, I am just doing it now since this post deserves that song. Isn't Marise the cutest? I am so proud and lucky to have her! She is just so pretty that even someone we doesn't even know from the party we attended last night, just took her photos while pinching her cute face haha! That blue wig is a part of her costume she wore last night. We're aiming to copy the look of Bubbles in Powerpuff girls but I think we landed Sailor Neptune's look instead? haha but with a much longer hair though. She even won one of the 3 best costumes of that night! Weee so proud mommy!:)
Don't you think she can be a cosplayer too? haha! she does actually love wigs and copying looks of different characters! Oh we'll see haha!
It has been weeks that I was not able to share my usual SUNDAY MUSIC because I was either out doing some shop errands, or gone with the family or doing some crafts. And good thing today I am not that too busy so I had the time to surf all day long and share with you yet again another song I have been listening to.
Summer is Over by Jon McLaughlin and Sarah Bareilles is my new addiction this week! I just love the laid-back bohemian feel of the video that makes me want to go to that exact same place! Not to mention I love playing piano too! I guess doing an outfit shoot under a big old tree in a grassfield is a part of my bucket list. Perhaps even my prenup shoot too I guess haha!
Anyway hope you'll love this song and stay-tuned for more posts coming in a bit!:)
Here's a song I keep pressing the play button haha! Don't know why but there's just something about this that I think is lovely. You might like it too!
Hi guys! wazzup? wazzup?! What did you do this weekend? Well as you all know, as I've said on facebook, I took a whole-day off from work and blogging, and just had a good time with my family. I almost can't walk anymore due to my painful legs and feet caused by our endless walking galore at SM Moa yesterday. Imagine waking-up early to buy groceries then headed to MOA for shopping and lots of walking (finally saw F21 and UNIQLO hihihi) then when we got home, I slept on the couch without me knowing I still have my make-up on haha!
Then later this morning, mom and dad woke us all up so early for a breakfast at Mc do Q.ave infront of Crossings. haha! Imagine my swollen eyes and messy hair oh well haha! I just love family days, they just can take all my stress away.
Then here's a song from my baul haha! but I seriously love this one. I can remember by elementary days haha!
Don't forget to drop by at SIMONE'S CLOSET for our FOREVER YOUNG SALE!!! All items below P300 :) I bet you can get something for yourself!:)
Hi everyone! I was not able to blog anything yesterday because I was busy with Simone's Closet's anniversary photoshoot! I am so happy that despite of the sleepless nights and tiring preparations, finally it pushed-through yesterday! And this song, Payphone by Alex Goot is lss-ing in my mind right now haha! This one's been playing repeatedly last night while we're on the shoot. I can't stop listening to this song. Alex's version, for me, is much livelier and gives more positive vibes than the original.
I hope you are having a great Sunday just as I am. And please stay-tuned with another giveaway coming in a bit! :)
Hi girls! Before I totally get offline the whole day, I'll leave you with this song from Coldplay. I don't know why the audio is so soft that I almost can't hear it. But this one's totally worth your time listening, so go get your headphones so you can very well hear this one. Plus you'll be entertained with its video too! TOTALLY AMAZING!
I am also inviting you all to drop by at Simone's Closet and avail our sale items!
and lastly, I will be launching a new giveaway tomorrow! And guess what, you could win, a vintage CHANEL DRESS unearthed by the lovely girls of Vintage Diaries!
So I'll see you tomorrow then? HAVE A HAPPY SUNDAY GIRLS! I will be off to crafting accessories the whole day, then afternoon will do side trips to Maginhawa St. for a quick meeting!:)
Hey girls! I know how hard it is to get-up from your bed right? Blame it on the cold weather. haha! But let me share to you a current favorite song of mine. I always find this my go-to rainy song haha! It's nice to listen to this sitting next to a hot cup of chocolate while looking out your misty window. :) I am pretty sure you will enjoy this video, it's a stop-motion and I find it very interesting! :)
I am out now to unwind a bit at Trinoma! I am with ze family! I'll see you tomorrow with a new outfit post!:) And oh, don't forget to join my giveaways!:)
It has been a long while since I last did a SUNDAY MUSIC post haha! I am not good at remembering song titles so I tend to forget the songs I love to listen. There's only a few songs that stick in my mind. Anyway, lately I have been practicing to play A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton, on organ. That is the only song I know to play on my keyboards haha! As much as I love the original version, this cover song by Boyce Avenue and Alex Goot is just really breathtaking. I love cover songs because they give a new life even to the oldest songs.
I hope you'll like this one!:)
I will be posting a new giveaway in a bit so just sit tight alright?:)
You know how much I am a such a big fan of Michelle Branch! And since she is coming here in Manila this week, for a concert, I would like to dedicate this post to her! This has got to be my energy-boosting music whenever I feel so tired! I love Michelle forever!!!:) I will be watching her concert this June 7!!! I can't wait! :) Will you be on her concert too??!!:)
So a lot has happened recently and I cannot express how happy I am for being blessed with so many good things! I can feel overflowing joy, thank God for all the blessings! :)Anyway if you're wondering what this photo is, well this is just one of the many photos I have with the recent shoot I did with ze hubby! I will blog about it tomorrow so you'll see the whole set. The shoot went great and the place is so perfect!
As for the current song I am listening to, for this week, here's Jessie J with Domino. I just love how beach-ready/summer-y/hyper active this song is that no matter how stressed and tired I am, I still get to dance a bit haha!
If you noticed too, on the right sidebar of my blog, you'll see that I currently have 100,000 plus views and I am so happy about it! It may not be as big as the other bloggers have, but I truly appreciate the support you have given me and to this blog.
And with this at hand, would you like another giveaway???YES?YES?! haha feel free to comment below!:)
My body clock has changed since this April and I usually go to sleep around 1am. Back then I was already sleeping by 11pm. But anyway, if you are wondering why I am up that late, is because I do have tons of work stuffs to finish and I can't sleep whenever I don't get to check them (fulfill them). One of the things that have been eating my 10mins every night, is my habit of watching 2 wedding videos before I sleep. I love weddings, and I easily get carried away and shed tears. I am hoping one day to have my own wedding in such a unique theme.
Anyway this song was used on one of the wedding videos I have seen. So modern yet so romantic. :) Go ahead listen to it!:)
I will be out the whole day with ze family today! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOUR MOMS GIRLS! :)
Hi girls! how are you doing? Sorry for not blogging yesterday! I was invited to a special and fun intimate event along with other bloggers. I thought I was able to come home early but right after the event we went straight for dinner that's why I came home late and tired, but definitely happy! Do not worry I will share with you all on the coming days what had happened yesterday.
Anyway this song is my obsession for the week. Heard this from the movie The Lucky One which I heart Zac Efron's hot body!haha! I would also like to thank everyone for the support you gave to my CIRCUS COLLECTION! The items are almost sold-out! I have exciting plans for Simone's Closet this year and one of which is our upcoming bazaar this June at Makati! I will blog more about it soon!
For now I gotta go, my TV is broken so I am gonna go buy another one! :) Tomorrow I am gonna announce the winners on my BRAID BRACELET GIVEAWAY (blog version) who do you think will get those pretty braid bracelets? Anyhoo, just stay-tuned for more blog posts tomorrow! :)
