What's New: Adore Me Lingerie

By Sai

I was contacted by Adore Me about their latest lingerie collection. I remember a statement in one of the fashion/lifestyle shows that I've watched before. That particular show (I forgot what show) said that the framework of a beautiful outfit is the perfect lingerie. You all know that there are those with laces and embroideries, right? Of course, you can't wear them inside your T-shirts because the designs will show up. There are those who wear the wrong size of lingeries. You get the idea?

Inspiration: Be at your best when you're preggy

By Sai

Have you noticed that I don't post looks or makeup tutorials lately? Well, that's because I'm pregnant right now. You can forgive me with the makeup tutorials since my OB recommended not to use makeup. You know, the things you'll do for you baby to make her/him healthy inside you? Well, I kinda gave up my makeup gigs, makeup tutorials and my own makeup cravings since my first month of pregnancy.

By Sai

I hope you've read my previous post about AIDS and HIV awareness before. I've shared some important information about this disease and I, myself, learned a lot from our previous session.

Now, in support of the fight against the spread of AIDS and HIV, I participated in one of Niccolo Cosme's project for this advocacy - The Red Whistle.

IPANEMA at the Philippine Fashion Week

By Sai

Designer: Lyle Ibanez

It's actually too early to blog about summer (I know) but it's also nice to have a preview of what's the next "IT" thing for the summer of 2012. I'm actually a bit excited about next year because I can have my "NORMAL" life back and I can wear my heels on again! You know, it's hard when you're pregnant! You can't wear those baggy clothes anymore because "baggy" clothes aren't "baggy" anymore.

I took the test and fed a child

By Sai

Product Review: The Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Body Butter

By Sai

The Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Body Butter

This is my latest beauty buy for ages (boo!) because I really don't have that much time to go out and shop as I used too. It kinda sucks though but I'm happy I bought this wonderful product from The Body Shop.

Last time, I blogged about The Body Shops nationwide sale happening until November 10. I went to The Body Shop that weekend to check their sale and to buy this Cocoa Butter Body Butter.

WHY DID I BUY THIS?

Boom badoom boom SUPERBASS!

By Sai

I stumbled upon an amazing video through my Facebook Newsfeed. You know how I am so hooked with Nicki Minaj's Superbass. I even made a makeup tutorial about it in the past.

Today, I found this cute li'l girl who sang Superbass so well! And look at her moves! Fierce baby! Fierce!

Hope you enjoyed this video :) Share it if you like! Nicki Minaj Rules!

Steve Jobs is dead

By Sai
This post is in loving memory of Steve Jobs.

I feel so sad today :( I can't believe that Steve Jobs is dead. It was about a month ago (I think) when I read the news that he's resigning as Apple's CEO because of his health condition and now he passed away.

STOP ANIMAL ABUSE!

By Sai

I stumbled upon this photo while browsing my Facebook Newsfeed and I want to give these people a big (..|.)! I mean, man, what were they thinking? What reasonable thought on Earth will they give for hanging this innocent puppy?

A mother's unconditional love

By Sai

I was browsing through my Facebook news feed when I came across this photo. My friend's status was "moving" so I was attracted to click the photo and see what made this photo "moving."

Photo courtesy of Azkals (Philippine National Soccer Team) on FB

I cannot explain how this photo moved me too. I am pasting the story I got from the FB page of the Philippine Azkals below. A mother's love is simply unconditional!

This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake.

Zero In: For the love of art

By Sai

I've always been an art lover. If my life was a movie or a TV show, it would be GLEE. My life revolved around music. I love performing on stage whether it be a song number or a group dance number. Did you know that taking Performing Arts was one of my course choices before entering college? Well, I took up a business course because it was also one of my passions but my love for performing arts never left my heart.

Make me a model!

By Sai

Not me... but my brother (slash) makeup client (slash) image model. I recently updated my makeup portfolio and if you're one of my followers on Facebook, then you should have seen his photo in my album. He went to my pad and asked if I can do his makeup so I did :)

Here's his photo entry in Caloi Estanislao's Saving the Fireflies Photo Shoot:

Can you do me a favor? I hope you can like this photo and help him become the model with the best shot. Below are the simple steps to do that:

Maybelline's Clear Smooth All-in-One Foundation

I found this video from Maybelline Philippines. They have this new all-in-one foundation - it's the Clear Smooth All-in-One Foundation. I can't wait to buy one and try it myself :)

According to the new commercial:

Naturally healthy, naturally fashionable!

By Sai

Hey everyone! It's been so long (I feel like it's been a year) since I last blogged here. I've been quite busy but that doesn't mean that I stop thinking about what to blog next. I've been contemplating on my lifestyle and I noticed that it changed (thanks to my boyfriend)!

My boyfriend has been my inspiration when it comes to healthy living! I always wanted to have an active and healthy lifestyle but sometimes I make wrong choices. Now that he's inspiring me and giving me tips on how to achieve my goals, I want to share some of the natural and healthy things that I've been doing.

1. Water! Water! Water! - I drink lots of water right now. Before, I only do this during summer because the hot summer sun is drying all the water in me! Right now, I am really drinking water more. I drink water over sodas (which by the way something that I really love) and coffee (one of my addictions) and believe me it's hard to do this! I can feel my saliva drooling over colas and coffee every time I see someone drinking them :( But that's alright (I always tell myself) because I don't need too much carbonated water and caffeine right now. I actually got the hang of it so every time I have a date with my boyfriend or with my friends, I order water instead of the usual soda and ice tea (I'm referring to the powdered ones)

The Fashionista supports Yuoy!

By Sai

The Fashionista (Blogger Sai) for Yuoy!

Yes! The long wait is over! Yuoy is finally here!

Earlier this day, I was surprised when I found an update from Project Head Shot Clinic by the ever-talented Niccolo Cosme in my Facebook newsfeed! The Yuoy photos are now available :) This shoot was held at Ronac Art Center (hope I got that correctly) last year I think (was it? Sorry, I lost track of time) or if not last year it was earlier this year. I was really waiting for these photos because it will be released by the time Yuoy will be released too! I am a huge fan of Pinoy Music (not much of a rocker type though). I am happy that I was once part of this advocacy in supporting Pinoy pride - our own music!

Become Niccolo Cosme's newest assistant!

By Sai

I believe we all know who the talented Niccolo Cosme is (faints!) and this is your chance to know him better and to witness how he creates magic with his craft! He's now looking for his new personnel and assistant :) If you're interested, you can inquire on where to send your resume in Niccolo Cosme's Community Page ^_^

I'm proud to have worked with him! I did two photo shoots for him and his advocacy already: (1) UNAIDS' Prevention Revolution and (2) Yuoy! and looking forward for more ^_^

My Senti Sabado: Tag the decades

By Sai

This is my advanced Senti Sabado hahaha! I constantly am receiving updates from Tender Juicy Hotdog on Facebook and to tell you honestly I actually enjoy their posts! It's like travelling through time! They post cool stuff from the past - 80s, 90s and some old school music or outfit from the early 2000s! I get to remember Banana's in Pajamas and how I use to sing the Tagalog Opening Theme in class during grade school :P

Because I'm a huge fan and lover of Tender Juicy Hotdog I became their fan and I'm glad I am! They actually have a promo entitled Tag the Decades. I will post my entry soon just for fun (with no intention of winning). I just want to go with the flow and share what I have during the 80s until the present day. Tara! Let's join! Here's the promo mechanics:

The Fashionista is in The Philippine Star!

By Sai

Hey! Honestly, I really miss blogging! Sorry if I don't post that much. I'm just attending to some personal matters in my life (drama! LOL) so I end up posting nothing. 

This "news" surprised me this morning! I saw this newspaper on my table. This is from Stan and I got so ecstatic that I took photos right away. Of course, I want to share them to you. I got featured (though it was just a photo of me) in The Philippine Star's June 28 issue. I haven't read the article yet. This was during the Freeway F. Sionil Jose event held at The Row in Glorietta 5 last May 31, 2011.
