Starbucks x Cinnamoroll♥

Another cute collaboration from Starbucks Philippines...  Meet the Cinnamoroll x Starbucks collection.  The new collection is composed of 8 drink wares and 2 merchs.  It's available on all Starbucks stores.   Don't be surprised when you go to the store and these cuties are not on display.  You need to ask the Barista about it.  Which I felt is a bit odd?  Well, it's their rule.. we cannot do something about it.     Stainless Steel Doina tumbler 16oz These cuties were dropped last June 2, 2026. If you ask me what are my favorites?  As you all know I am really a Hello Kitty fan...Cinnamoroll is equally cute, but I made a promise that I will not buying any drink ware this year.  I am contemplating to get the 16oz Stainless steel Doina tumbler with handle (P2,195.00) .   Here are the other available drink wares and merchandise: Mook Stainless Water bottle 11oz P2,495.00 Zane Stainless Steel tumbler 12oz P1,595.00...

What inside my Miss Fluffy Bag♥

As promised I want to share what fits in my Miss Fluffy bag .  It's a 25cm bag (same shape as a Birkin ).  It comes with a detachable strap but for me I prefer carrying her without it. For me the bag is best used for coffee or lunch dates...I don't really use this as my work bag.   It does not fit so much stuff..  (maybe I just a person who brings so much stuff .. *wink!)  Here are the things inside my Miss Fluffy bag: Key wallet Small Kate Spade wallet Two mobile phones Medicine pouch Cosmetic pouch Card wallet Car keys  Foldable ecobag The bag really sends good vibes every time I use it.  It literally smiles back...♥

Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2♥

I watched this film yesterday... honestly, in order the understand and appreciate the movie, you should have seen the first which was shown 20 years ago. I loved the first one, that is why I am so excited to see the sequel.  Though entertaining, I found it lacks something.. "parang bitin".   This film shows us how print media (hardcopy magazines) is now replaced by digital content .  The shift that has a big impact on people who does not want to embrace change.  It's like vlogging is more popular than blogging .  Personally, I still blog but that does not mean that I am not open to change, but I feel I can express myself more on writing than doing video or reels. source: Google I truly enjoyed the fashion scenes: filming the scenes in the actual fashion week (at the Dolce & Gabbana Milan show) for authenticity. The cameo of Donatella Versace and Lady Gaga .  The OOTD's of Andy - super love!  My fave? - the patchwork maxi dress worn by Anne ...

A tribute to Tita Linda♥

I am writing this as a tribute to my Tita Linda who has passed away last March.  Honestly, I still can't believe that she's gone.  On my mind, it's like that she is in her home... just chilling and watching her favorite videos, live streaming of mass on her iPad.  And I am not sure if I could finish this without being emotional. I did a eulogy on the last day of her wake.. But I felt it was too short... (" bitin" )  and I want to honor her more. Who is my Tita Linda? To her siblings and close relatives she's their "ATE Linda" (eldest sister) To my cousins she's Tita.. To her friends - Linda... To her PGH workmates she's Miss Santos... To me I call her Tita but definitely she's my second mom. ( I am her loyal PA - personal assistant, sidekick, "dakilang alalay".. hihi) For those who don't know, I grew up with her... I spent my school breaks, Christmas vacations, with her (and my grandparents).  She always take me with her at ...
