    Pacman Beach Resort: Your New Home Away from Home

    by
    pacman beach resort

    Nothing can be more exciting than another unplanned weekend getaway with “the parents” to a place I’ve never been to – Sarangani. Also who doesn’t love long drives? It’s my best excuse to listen to my 90’s playlist, zen out looking at the scenery, and listening to my parents/lovebirds conversations about “paragliding” 😛 . These two just don’t age.

    And indeed, random trips  can take you to some pretty amazing destinations. 

    Enter Pacman Beach Resort.

    It’s a new and perfect alternative to crowded beaches in the Philippines. It hasn’t fully opened yet but this resort is easily a perfect escape from the bustle of hectic, gadget-filled lifestyles. 

    Here are some snaps during our trip.

    early morning walks, my parents walk faster than me 😛

    LoLi Dolls – handmade dolls by yours truly

    by

    I’ve always dreamt of creating a brand out of handmade creations. I remember spreading the wings of imagination wide just letting the mind soar. I also remember allowing the wear and tear of the day (or the years) clip its wings or bog me down. Until one day, I decided to seize the moment. To grab life by the horns. To eat ice cream because it’s good, and tumble and fumble and play because I can.

    There I am. And simply because I am.

    After almost a year of learning this new craft, I finally finished the first batch of handmade dolls and here are some of them:

    My Best Nude: Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte and Zoeva Caramel Melange

    by

    While there’s no such thing as your perfect nude or wrong nude (I’m talking about make up, guys), some neutral palettes and proper bold matte lipstick blends well with one’s skin tone and makes you go “Oh wow, I look expensive” or for me its “boy, do I look grown-up” – which is the kind of look I’m going after. Not that I don’t look like my age (hint: fishing for compliments) but sometimes I just want to look different…the one that actually says “yes-I-do-have-make-up-on” kind of different.

    So without further talking about my first world problems, I present to you my new favorite nude liquid lipstick:

    Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte Charming Beige shade

    creamy like a gloss and pigmented like a lipstick, with a stunning matte finish

    This is my first Guerlain make up that just made me SGD50 poorer.

    Guerlain’s formula is based on hyaluronic acid and tiger grass extract that ensure lips remain smooth amidst the matte-ness.

    I super love this shade and how it doesn’t make my lips flake or dry out.

    Yet another first for me is the brand Zoeva.

    Zoeva Caramel Melange Palette

    I never truly had a proper bold nude make up palette because I always buy them in single shades. I am not too adventurous when it comes to eyeshadow because I always feel that well-drawn eyebrows and lipstick together can do the magic. So a moment of silence for my first ever eyeshadow set please. Continue Reading

    A Passion Project: What Do You Wake Up For?

    by

    I’m so happy to be reacquainted with my first hobby- Videography. Special thanks to talented musicians at www.bensound.com for the gift of amazing music. Hope you like my new video – passion project series.

    Something always gets us up in the morning, even when it would make sense to just stay in bed. We wake up for all these bits and pieces of a new day, starting afresh – persisting, resisting, existing. Getting up and getting on a daily grind is a choice we make. It’s not easy, but it’s a choice that changes lives, not just our own, but those around us as well. It’s not always fun and easy but we will do it anyway. What do you wake up for?
