Now is the perfect time to turn your dream into reality. 
Starting today, September 1st, the MacBook Air 11” & 13” 128GB variants will be
 available in super easy Zero24 installments and will be offered with
 three unique lifestyle bundles at no extra cost. 

The Most Beautiful Laptop You Can Own, It’s not an overstatement. 
The MacBook Air is the most beautiful laptop you can own.


From the outside, the aluminum unibody design looks modern and minimalist. 
The tapering edges also make the laptop genuinely attractive and impressive. Although it’s the same chassis design we’ve been seeing since 2010, there’s really nothing to complain about since it resonates with ’premiumness’ that you can only get from Apple.

Measuring 17mm in diameter and weighing at 1.4kg, the MacBook Air is gorgeously thin and surprisingly light. It’s light enough that it’s barely noticeable in your bag and robust enough that you don’t feel like it’s going to break when you use it.

Overall, this laptop sends an unequivocal message: 
the MacBook Air is an engineering feat – one that cannot be copied.

Lifestyle Bundles – TRVLR, EXCTV, SCHLR

To help you get the most out of your new MacBook Air lifestyle, Beyond the Box is including three unique lifestyle bundles that you could choose from without any extra cost. Choose between the TRVLR, EXCTV, and SCHLR bundle and take full advantage of the complimentary add-ons’ lifestyle boosts.

Are you the typical teenage girl who are always shy?
Afraid to be embarrassed?
Who are afraid to be judged?
Afraid to be left behind?
Afraid to talk in front of people?

Have you ever think of the word "Courage?"
even just for once, even just for a minute or even just for a second?
If not now, when?

Photo from: Smileypics Photobooth

I am actually one of those "typical teenage girls", I used to be an honor student ever since i was in pre-school. I really wished pre-school days are forever. Why? Simply because you can't even think even a single problem. All i have to do was to play, play and play. I wanted to say that my elementary and high school days were happily perfect but it's actually not. I was just studying hard that time, trying to achieve the first spot but always ended up on the 3rd place. Well if you're thinking that it was my problem  before, you guys were wrong. If you thought that studying was the difficult thing when you are in school, you are wrong. You know what's more difficult? To deal with other people specifically your classmates. I was bullied that time, i felt like i am alone in this world. I felt like everyone's looking at me not because they admire me but because they hate me.  I am not doing anything and it really hurts when everyone's judged you without knowing the real you. How can you prove yourself to other people if they have already judged you? Why is it so easy with other people to break the hearts and dreams of every typical girls who just want to be happy and loved. I thought i will never find the answer. But i was wrong..

The Answer is...

COURAGE

I have learned that you just need to have courage to survive in this world.
Do not be afraid to be judged by other people.
Do not be afraid to stand up even if everyone's putting you down.
Do not be afraid to be left behind because there's still someone who will never
leave you and it is God.

Trust me, I've been there.

I know that some of you were lucky that you never experienced being bullied
but i know during those teenage days, you were full of insecurities and because of that
insecurities you have missed some opportunities.These feelings become even more amplified with the changes that they start to experience in their bodies, such as the start of facial breakouts and oiliness, wetness down there, and monthly periods.

I am very happy that i have attended a special event where Filipina teens can finally
say Goodbye to Dyahe, Hiya and Kaba that will make them proudly say "Kayang Kaya"

Teen Actress Liza Soberano as the Brand Ambassador of the Johnson & Johnson's Advocacy #TheCampCourage
*TRIVIA*
 Did you guys know that Liza Soberano is just like any other teenager who also go through a lot of insecurities? Believe it or not everytime she face a large crowd, she experiences stage fright. That is why during our #CampCourage event she did not wear her contact lens.

In Camp Courage Advocacy, its desire is to understand and address the needs of Filipina teens, Johnson and Johnson Philippines conceived Camp Courage – a movement that seeks to help Filipina teens overcome the many difficult challenges they go through, such as dyahe, hiya, and kaba, by feeding them with the right information and tools needed to build their confidence to seize every moment.

“Knowing and understanding the needs of young Filipinas is the very foundation of the advocacy we are doing at J&J Philippines,” shared Karen Co, Group Brand Manager for Teen Brands, J&J Philippines. 

DSCN8767

“It is during the teenage years when girls start to feel different emotions that translate into their actions and decisions in life. Madalas nandyan yung ‘dyahe’, ‘hiya’, at ‘kaba’ especially when they start to get affected by the many changes that are happening in their lives. That is why we developed Camp Courage: an advocacy that helps today’s girls fight hiya, dyahe, and kaba, and turn them into saying “kayang-kaya!” We want to empower Filipina teens to celebrate their teenage years and realize their full potential by building up their confidence to seize every moment to help them be the best that they can be.”

DSCN8823

Camp Courage will go around the Philippines to reach out to about 400,000 Filipina teens in 500 schools nationwide. It will conduct workshops and activities that will help girls understand their bodies even better, know the right things to do in any situation, and find opportunities where they can enhance their talents and skills even more. More importantly, the Camp Courage School Program will encourage teens to face their teen challenges head on, inspiring them to believe in themselves and their abilities. 

In September 2015, www.ourcampcourage.ph will be launched where teens can support each other by sharing information and stories that can motivate them to seize the moment. This platform will be a venue to house a strong support system of girls encouraging other girls, making it a safe place where they can share their feelings and receive their much needed support from friends.

Start sharing your courage mantra and support the #CampCourage advocacy just like me!

mantra
Here's my courage mantra for every teenage girls who's afraid to show the real you!

Camp Courage seeks to inspire every Filipina teen to be determined to discover 
her full potential by not being restrained by the many changes happening in her life,
 instead, allowing them to celebrate the many opportunities being young brings about!

Join the conversations and encourage other girls online by using the hashtag #CampCouragePH.

Any Japanese Food Lovers Here?
Well you gotta read this!

Last week, I was invited to attend a grand opening of a new Japanese
restaurant at Trinoma named Roku. It has been two years since 
ROKU first opened its doors to the Katipunan crowd, 
which has now become a go-to Japanese place for
 students, families, and officemates.

DSCN8719

I'm pretty sure that it would be the same at their Trinoma branch.
Aside from the affordable sumptuous Japanese food, the location is very accessible.

So now, are you guys excited to know what happened at the grand opening party of Roku?

But, before that i would like to share some fun facts about Roku :)

ROKU is a casual Japanese restaurant owned by mother and daughter
tandem Shiela and Milka Romero. Roku means "six" in Japanese as they
are 6 in the family and from that alone, the restaurant embodies the
family sharing atmosphere Pinoys are accustomed to.

It all started in their's family love for Japanese cuisine making it to be their
comfort food all the time.

DSCN8717 DSCN8718

Ms. Milka's personal insight in the lack of good quality Japanese casual
restaurants near her university pushed her to create a concept where students can enjoy
without hurting their wallets. Soon enough, her love for Japanese food made her study more
about it and later on added her take on the dishes making it palatable to the Filipino
crowd but with an updated mix of ingredients and a whole new aesthetic. With the mentorship
of her mother, in the year 2013, ROKU finally found itself rising on the 5th floor of the Oracle
hotel along Katipunan avenue.

The story of ROKU is indeed amazing!
If you really put love on your work it will definitely become successful.
It's not just about putting up her own business, 
It's all about her love for Japanese food
and sharing it with other people.

Going back to the grand opening party..

It was a night full of great music courtesy of Curtismith
It was actually a star-studded grand opening party,
Some of the celebrities spotted were
 Karylle, Lauren Young, Erik Santos and Dra. Vicky Belo.

Friends and patrons from the Ayala top management, 
bloggers, and media were also present to grace the grand opening event. 

DSCN8699

Ofcourse, a grand opening night isn't complete without trying out their food.

Here's the menu

DSCN8692

Here's what I've tasted.

Firecracker Roll (P249.00)

Dream Roll (P259.00)

Chashu Soyu Tonkotsu (P289.00)

DSCN8706 

S.S Roll (P249.00)

DSCN8722

You know what, I am really not into Japanese food.
I just love Pork tonkatsu & Ramen , and that's it.
I really don't like the taste of sushi and sashimi but after this grand opening event.
Everything was different! I can now eat sushi rolls and i can't believe that
i love them now! I'm actually craving for more firecracker and dream roll of Roku.

I am really shocked and amazed with the price ranges.
They offer a delicious Japanese food and at the same time 
it's very budget friendly.

This is really a perfect comfort place to dine out with family and friends.
If you guys want to try ROKU you can visit them at the
 Level 1 Garden Restaurants, Trinoma Mall or 5th flr.Oracle Bldg. Katipunan Road.

These Japanese favorites with a modern take by is definitely a must try! 
There is always something for everyone in ROKU!

an article for red lippy lovers!

selection of perfect everyday red lipsticks that compliment your skin tone.

Do you love red lipsticks?
Well me, I am really really a fan of red lipsticks ever since
i started to love make-up. My makeup box isn't complete without a 
red lipstick. Some people were afraid of using a red lipstick but they really don't
know the purpose of red lipstick. I believe that a red lipstick adds glamour on our
make up look. It perfectly suites on whatever clothes we wanna wear but
we have to know what is the perfect red lipstick that matches our complexion.

You can discover the perfect everyday red lipstick from 
Color Riche Collection Star Matte Reds by L’Oreal Makeup Designer / Paris.


“Most Filipinas wouldn’t regularly dare to wear red lips, because of apprehensions such as skin tone, time of the day, and even the preferred amount of makeup used”, shares Trisha Chua, Group Product Manager of L’Oréal Makeup Designer/Paris. 

“With this in mind, L’Oréal Makeup Designer/Paris created the perfect red lipstick collection that is perfect for everyday use. Collection Star Matte Reds by Color Riche has a red for every woman, featuring eight sophisticated yet wearable everyday red shades developed to fit Asian skin tones. Now, Filipino women can sport the effortlessly stylish red lip look every single day!”
