Things You’ll Learn from Oscars 2014

“No matter where you're from your dreams are valid"

Oscars 2014 had been concluded. 

Netizens all over the globe have expressed both their satisfaction and disappointment on the results of winners. Some have expressed their admiration, named their own best and even worst-dressed celebrities who absolutely did their best to glam-up for the highly-acclaimed awards event.  And while most of the stories have focused on these, I decided to focus on what seem to be relevant and applicable on our own daily lives -- life lessons which we can get from these highlights:

Do Not Worry, Be Happy

“So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Many of us (Catholics) may have been able to relate (or hopefully had been moved) with today’s Gospel which actually tackles the following:

• On Serving Two Masters
• On Worrying

Why Ati-Atihan in Ibajay is Worth-Celebrating

Ati-Atihan in Ibajay may not be known or popular religious festive compared to many. But I must say that it is the most genuine and humbling way of expressing faith. Viva Sr. Sto. Nino!

Last January 24-25, I had a chance to celebrate the Annual Ati-Atihan festival in our province, Aklan. Contrary to what others commonly know, the festive is being celebrated twice in the province:  first is in the province’s capital, Kalibo, and second is in a town named Ibajay.

Since both my parents came from Ibajay (or at least near that), I happen to almost annually celebrate and attend the Ati-Atihan festival (sort of a “Panata”). Fortunately this year, with God’s grace, I was able to celebrate it, and shout-out-loud with praise “Viva Sr. Sto. Nino!”

Hot and Fresh: Burberry's Brit Rhythm for Her

“A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.”

This popular quote about perfume by Christian Dior indeed holds true. And while his brand has been successful in the paradigm of luxury goods, another brand has set to take another leap by expanding its beauty / fragrance line for Women -- Burberry.

Yes, Burberry had just recently launched a new perfume named as Brit Rhythm for Her, which I actually got as a “pasalubong” this week (I know, I'm very lucky. Haha). 

It was just launched last month (Hot and Fresh), and I’m not sure if this is already out in the Philippine market (anyone who knows?).

Anyway, here are the things that you should know about this perfume (some of which are the main reasons why I was sooo happy receiving this):

The Right Wrong Partner

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong…” -Galway Kinnel

Hello there! I know it’s been ages since my last post (well technically around 2-3 weeks) and here I am now, trying to make it up.  :) I have been in a sort of vacation (which I will share details on my next blog post) and had been quite busy as well in the corporate world.

Anyway, so today I realized that it’s already February -- the Love month. Needless to say it’s one of the much-anticipated months for love birds, those who are in a relationship, or  simply those who have their own special someone. While for those who are still in search for their soul mate, it’s a month that they wished had never existed (nonetheless).
