Lee Jeans - 125 Years of Craftsmanship

LEE Jeans celebrates 125 Years of craftsmanship and counting!

It was an absolute honor to be invited and celebrated Lee Jeans 125 years with fellow bloggers and social media celebrities. A hundred and twenty-five years of outstanding artistry and uniqueness! In celebration with Sinulog 2014, Lee Jeans conceptualized a DIY event that will extract those creative juices and I, myself had to knock my brain harder to create my own DIY. Hahaha! Trust me, I'm not that artistic as you think so please bare with my creation.

Before I share my very own DIY jeans (YES! I'm very proud of it! LOL!), Let me share with you some photos I took during the event.

Instructions provided how to start with your own DIY

Our DJ for the night, the Mixtress of Manila's clubbing scene Nina Saputil.

Host, Karla Henry, is very excited of all the creation!

Dropped my jaw when I saw this creation by Uzi Emperado. This guy is one imaginative guy!

Okay, don't be too harsh...yes, that's the best I've done so far! Teehee!

My Lee DIY jeans!

Wait a minute, it's technically not yet finished. I still need to alter the jeans to make it slim-fit and cut the excess at the bottom part (see that folded part at the bottom). Yes! Hahahaha!

A HUGE kudos to Mike M. and Niche D. for a very successful event! I just realized I never had a photos with you two. Ugh! I hope to see you real soon!!!

Turning 26

Turning 26

Today marks the start of me beyond my 'Silver Jubilee' existence here in our planet. It's not that I am sad or something...It is just that when you get to a point that you are 26, you try to reminisce and look back of all the things that you could have done better. To those who felt or feel the same way as I am, cheers to you. To the young kids who are enjoying and wandering, be more wise in your actions. I am stopping this part of my emotional breakdown because I know I will make it through this. LOL! Emo much!

I would like to give a warm, big HUG to all of you who greeted me on my FB and tweeter account! Thank you all so much! I promise to update you with more posts as much as I can.

Anyhow, I promised myself to be braver and bolder this year 2014 so let me share with you a quick outfit post that I wore on New Year's Eve.

Hype my look here.

What I wore: Tank Top gifted by sister; Worn-out shorts from FinLust; Shoes from Gibi Shoes.

This post is quite a delay thanks to my internet provider -- I can't upload any photo on FB nor IG and can't even open my blog. What a good way to start my year! Anyhow, here I am using my friendly neighborhood's connection. Hahaha!

New year. New Life. New beginnings -- a new way to live our lives and to be better as an individual. A huge thank you to my wonderful family and friends who were there and celebrated my 2013 all the way through. I am also grateful to the people I have met and befriended online and offline and I hope we get to bond in the year 2014! To my better half who have been very patient with me, thank you for the love and the support. Your patience and your guidance to become, not just to be a better person, but also to be a good partner just knocks me off my feet. Ayeeeee! Hahaha! I have sooo many things to say, but I don't want to get too emotional. Lol!

Life was better in 2013 and I know it will be even more better this 2014 so just stay still everyone! The next coming days are going to be EPIC! See you all soon! More post soon on this very special month.

I love you all! Cheers!

SWAP it up by Tomato Time now in Cebu

SWAP it up by Tomato is now available in Cebu! Thank you for this rock and roll SWAP face with a matching gray SWAP strap!

I always knew that they were coming soon, but I wasn't expecting it to be this soon! Yet still, thank you for finally arriving here in Cebu! Tomato Time's SWAP watch got a massive online presence in Manila not just because of how they marketed the whole thing, but simply because the SWAP watch is fashionably hip-chic and got great concept of mix-and-matching. Cebu did not have a hard time welcoming the brand because of these. ;)

Showing off the SWAP Watches at Alchology. Thank you to Jodie from Crinnovent for that great crazy party!

Made a quick visit to their store the day after and I was amazed how the people really dig the style and the quality of Tomato Time.

Tomato Time in Cebu is located at SM City Cebu upper ground floor (very near Jollibee).

While I was browsing the other products of Tomato Time, to my surprise, my better half bought me a SWAP Starter Kit for our 2nd Year Anniversary (more to the anniversary on my next post. Teeheee!)

I didn't realize the SWAP face box was upside-down. Lol!

Thank you sooo much idol! These are perfect! One for a hip look and one for a daily look!

Aside from SWAP, I am also eyeing Tomato Time's STRUKTUR Collection where it sides more with elegance and formality.

Average prize is about Php 1,000.00 only!

Sun-Kissed Summer 2013

Another cowboy trip with my awesome friends heading to Moalboal (located at the southern part of Cebu). Unlike the rest of our friends, Eden and I do not have the luxury to plan our summer trips and if we do, that's called a luck! Most friends already went ahead and enjoy the beach and the party at Bantayan (where people in Cebu mostly visit).

As for us, we chose the less crowded beach and made an overnight stay at Basdaku, Moalboal! We were even very lucky to get a beach-front cottage, good for 5 people for only Php 2,000.00! The cottage is composed of 2 rooms with individual rest room, a queen-size bed and a fan. Despite the heat, the temperature inside was still cool and kept you sweat-free!

I'm ready to swim with my camo trunks!

I am truly blessed with these people and how we made our quick trip wickedly awesome!!! ILY guys!

Chilling outside our cottage (Eden, Thaad, Mark, me and Ced)

Quick sun bathing before hitting the beach!

Swimming time!!!

Is it just me or Ced looks fat here...teehee!

My one and only Eden! I miss you already loves! See you soonest!

All we need is just one kiss!

The beach is calling me...

I was born from the beach and just being near it makes me glow and shine like a diamond. LOL! Our trip did not end there. We went to this very intimate Beach Resort called Hale Manna and I was surprised how lovely this place is. Hale Manna is THE perfect place if you want to get away from the city-stress and just rest in their cozy environment. You may also do some flexing by trying their kayak. Thanks to Dale for inviting us!

Hale Manna's house rules and reminders.

This place is just wonderful! The perfect place to meditate and relax!

Loving my sun-kissed skin and loving Hale Manna Beach Resort at Moalboal!
Tank-top from Cotton On; Neon shorts from Finlust Shop. HYPE my look here.

Heart-shaped white sand.

Perfection!!!

Below are the photos of the room that Dale and family took. There are 2 queen-size bed, 1 single bed , a huge rest room (seriously, it's like a walk-in closet and still has an extra space for gym equipment).

The bed...

The other bed...The room is actually air-conditioned so I honestly don't know why there is an electric fan here. lol!

Cedric sitting on the single bed.

...and it's time to do some flexing!!!

Come, sit on me and enjoy the sound of the beach while you slowly stroke the paddle and glide with me.

Cedric on the lose! :D

Eden and Dale with there big smiles!

Time to relax and eat after kayaking... :D

What a worth-while weekend indeed! I'm very excited for the next trip to come!
