K-Pop increases its popularity around the globe and its style of music surfaces in different parts of America, Europe, and other Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines (and a lot more!). Korean artists have their own style of music & fashion, not only pop music, there are also rock, techno, R&B and jazz bringing different styles and collaboration which made K-Pop more popular. I am not that really a full blooded K-Pop  follower but I only knew few groups that are successful in their music career. For example 2NE1 (I love Sandy!), Shinwa, Big Bang, SS501, and Super Juniors- are just some of the 'popular' names that I remembered when we talk about Korean Music. While some of them made popular in the United States like Wondergirls (Nobody) and Psy (Gangnam Style) and Rain. I was really surprised that technology nowadays are doing so well in providing the latest updates of your favorite overseas artists through forums, fan sites, blogs and news agenci...

I know buying your own dream house is quite expensive and only few people can afford to stay in high rise condominium. When we are away, we always find a place wherein we feel comfortable to stay in for a couple of days. That is why, I-Suites was constructed - a 33 room, 5 story boutique hotel located in Imperial St in Cubao near Gateway Mall. I was impressed with the hotel's Japanese inspired interiors and being described as 'personalized and original' by the hotel's CEO, Mikaela Singson Mendoza. According to Mikaela, the original blueprint of the building was ideally for an apartment but the family would like it to more appealing and converted it into a hotel. “My mom thought that I would be a right fit for this job,” narrates Mika. “I am studying Hotel and Restaurant Management at Treston International College. My dream was to be an F&B director of a big hotel. Never thought that I would be actually opening up a hotel of my own.” With the sudden change of plan, ...

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey (oh no, why am singing this song)! Friday is one of my most hectic days of the week because of weekend reporting  work related issues should have resolved before the week ends and so forth. Since I arrived late this morning (am on a flexi schedule hehe) and last to leave the office, I decided to take a look on the new stores outside my office. I went to the mall and looking for unique items but I was really hungry so I landed on this place - Tous les Jours in Eastwood . I've been mentioning this store since this morning.   I was surprised that my neighbor is waiting outside the gate and I thought it's something really important -- she gave me this sweet cake with 'thank you' note. I remembered that I helped her daughter to complete her college requirements for scholarship :) Feel blessed with good people.

And, it was right. If you saw an item and you love it - buy it! Who knows if you let it go, then someone else bought it.  

This season, I promised that I will be buying a new sofa or sofa bed for my home. I'm still undecided but upon seeing these two gorgeous colors --- now am trying to save all my money or maybe my dear Santa will give me some $$$ hahaha (Wish!).   Help me which color should i buy? I saw these at SM Megamall (Home Section). hmmmm.

Also, visited some stalls around Eastwood City Walk and found new items that are worth buying.

Your Christmas activity is not complete without attending reunions (school colleagues, work mates, family and any organization you are affiliated with). For decades, invitations we being sent through snail mail or in the newspaper (for big time celebrations) and checking out these announcements through your friends or neighbors. Today, confirming and knowing such kind of endeavor is easy. I'm glad that the Internet is here and people are maximizing its use to connect people ( sounds like a mobile TVC, lol!) . One of the best example is - Facebook, wherein you can track down all of your connections whether you attended the same school, work or having something in common. It's easier to organize and announce something by creating a separate Facebook Page or adding an 'Event' page and know who are the people interested in joining your party. There were also several online tools to organize events or family gathering such as sending them e-vite, group email message, using a...

Logon to BPI loans website and apply for an auto loan today www.bpiloans.com . This promo was initially implemented from February 1 to June 1 this year, but was extended several times to cover most of 2012 because of the clamour from BPI’s clients who have earlier planned to buy their new cars this year.
