Celine's Day-off: August 2012

FASHION: Week-ender Style

I was browsing on some of my favorite fashion blogger sites and I was wondering how they do it? I wish someday I'll have guts to be a fashion blogger too. I need to learn how to pose and how to be fierce like them. But, I think it'll take a lot of time and courage for me to do that. So I've decided to share with you my favorite looks for this week.

First of course one of my favorite Manila base fashion blogger Ms. Camille Co. I love her because she's always elegant and sophisticated. I wish I'll win to NYFW with her. Click the link and love her!

Bb. Mariposa 2012

Went to watch Bb. Mariposa last night with my best friend Redj. It was fun and at the same time I was very insecure because of the gorgeous candidates and the host's voice was jaw dropping!

The Unfinished Business: Project 366

I went through my files and I saw my Project 366 folder. It made me sad a bit because I wasn't able to finish it. I became very busy at work and I miss photography so much especially that I am stressed and depressed right now because of all the pressures at work. I just thank God I still have time to blog. Atleast I still can release my emotions here. And hopefully soon I will have time to take pictures again. Here are some of my favorite shots:

This is my day 1. I woke up from new year's eve celebration and I still don't have photo for my project 366 until I start taking pictures outside at first I was taking pictures of the leftovers of the fire crackers when I spotted these two white butterflies and then I tried chasing them and viola! I got this photo.

Mostly spaghetti should be a little bit sour because of the tomato sauce. But, I grew up eating a spaghetti with a sweet taste. And it is actually a Filipino style spaghetti. I believe Filipinos has a sweet tooth because most of the Filipino dishes has a touch of sweetness.

TRAVEL: Discover Villa Cleofas

When it is raining, I misses Summer. I remembered my first Summer trip to Cagbalete, Quezon. We went to Villa Cleofas, a 1,640.4874-hectare property located east of Quezon Province (in Luzon, north of the Philippines). It is a private island owned by my sister's boss family. They opened the place to the public but, they only allow limited number of guest so that it wont be crowded and to preserve the virgin island.

This was my first zipline adventure. It was in Tagaytay, Philippines. I never thought that I will have a courage to try this extreme outdoor adventure.

After our Star City Adventure, on November me and colleagues plans to go to Subic to experience the "TREE TOP ADVENTURE"! There are different kinds of extreme outdoor activities with a reasonable price. We plan to get the package H which cost 1,120 pesos only you can experience all of the activities offered. We were very excited to try all of the activities I am sure it'll be another amazing experience! Watch out for my amazing story about Tree Top Adventure SOON!

Disasters bring out the best in us Filipinos. We toss our differences aside and help others. Even celebrities like @DivinemLee, @officialTIMYAP and etc... were helping the flood victims for almost 24hrs. I thank God that there are kind people like them. I salute you guys! And I salute all the volunteers and the rescue team for putting your life in the line just to help other people. With prayers and kind heart, I know the Philippines will get through this disaster. I pray for the safety of everyone. Filipinos never loose hope! We know how to struggle and stand up after a great loss. Let us bring out the Filipino Spirit! BANGON PILIPINAS!

Recipe: Pochilet (Potato Chicken Fillet)

This recipe that I'll be sharing today is my friend's project back in college. We have this subjects called "Entrepreneurship" which required us to make a new product to be introduced to the market. I remembered my group's product was "Strawberry Rose Ice Cream" and maybe next time I'll share the recipe. By the way, I am a graduate of BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management. That's why our new product must be about food. And that is also the reason why most of the time there are misconceptions about my course. They thought that BS in HRM are future chefs. I always need to explain that BS in HRM graduates are future Hotel or Restaurant managers or owners that even thou some of our majors are about cooking. Because if you look at the bigger picture it is just a part of our course. Because as a future Hotel and Restaurants Managers or Owners we need to learn how to run every departments of a hotel or restaurants so that we can run the business well.
