    It's December already; my favorite holiday and it means that Bloggers United is here again. From my previous posts I always said that it's one of the events I'm looking forward during this month. And for the 4th time (consecutively since BU9) I attended again. What keeps me excited is that it's the Blogger Besties (Camille Co, Kryz Uy, Laureen Uy, Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon and Nicole Andersson) comeback and Kryz Uy's book signing of #BehindTheBlog. Since they announced that they're coming I really feel the excitement to see them again complete after BU9. I'm such a fan of how genuine their friendship is.


    Fast forward to the day itself. December 10, 2016 at the World Trade Center. I have my Saturday class but I skipped it just to be here at 10am. I came along with my new found friend Claire, that I met at #ChinXBallPitManila. She had no one to go with and so I am. So we decided to went together. It has a bigger venue unlike before (BU10), more spaces to shop. And there's also a lot of participating bloggers this time. Sponsors that give a lot of freebies and fun games. I think this is the best Bloggers United so far! Kuddos to the team behind this successful event!


    Seeing the bloggers/influencers made me feel that I am much closer to them. I got to talk, shop and take a photo from them. What I love also about Bloggers United is that it is the time I really save my money since then so I can buy clothes from them. And I never failed. Branded or preloved, there's no difference in price. Super sulit! I think this installment is my biggest worth of purchase.



    The event is from 10am to 12mn so everyone has a more time to shop from the bloggers' booth. The theme for this installment is Metallic/Shinning Shimmery. Sadly I wasn't able to went on the theme because when BU haven't announced it, I bought already my outfit (excited hahaha). But that's okay lol. I also get kilig when Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon and Kryz Uy compliment my outfit. Like omg they said "Love your top. We have the same oh, twinning", "Cute shoes! Like your outfit" and "Nice top. Love it". Ahhhh my eyes went on a heart emoji lol. But I will never forget that. Everyone is so nice that they treat you not just readers.


    For the book signing of Kryz, I already have my book but there's a surprise when you bought at event or you have a book. A super cute personalized candies with Behind The Blog cover and title and a simple thank you message of Kryz: "Thanks babe. - Kryz". Plus a free nail polish. Sounds great, right? :) I am so starstrucked when I saw her again, like she's getting prettier as time goes by. And she's so nice, Kryz said that she likes my top (yaaay so kilig!) The saddest part? My selfie with her got blurred because I was shaking. Haysss. But still waiting for the photos from Starstudio Magazine :)

    Ohhh spotted myself hahaha. Thanks fro the photo BU! :P


    From 10am to 6pm, too much happiness on me even I'm physically tired. I travelled from Laguna just to see each and everyone but it doesn't matter. I really had fun. Seeing them has a big impact on myself because they're really my inspiration in blogging. I got to see the real world of blogging and learn a lot through their blogs. I can't thank them enough but all I am sure is that I really love them and I will always continue to support them. A never ending huge thank you to Bloggers United team for this event and to more installments to come! I am also dreaming that someday I am not a reader anymore when going here, that I am the one selling like them; a participating blogger. See you Bloggers United 13!!! ❤

    Being in college, a BSA student I mean is a no joke. Seriously. I know all my fellow BSA students can relate. But what I'm trying to say is that it really needs effort and a lot of time to focus on studies. This course has never came into my mind when I was in high school to took for college. It's when enrollment came and there, I just wrote BS ACCOUNTANCY. As years go by, I started to love that course. Though it's not my thing, I learn to cope up and do my best. I finally did but there comes a time that I feel like I didn't give my all. Experiencing stress from the subjects is very frustrating that I don't know what to do first. But that's life, I realized that I will not be in this course until now if it wasn't for me. Maybe it's in God's plan.


    How to stay motivated in college even though it feels like giving up? Well read below my recommendation and hope it will also work on you! :)

    1. F-O-C-U-S. I know there's a lot of distractions. Number 1 is the social media, I'm self proclaimed attached to it and I think I can't live without it lol. But I just manage my time well and check on my accounts during my break time while studying. It's just a balancing act actually. When you have a peace of mind I'm sure you can focus well.

    2. Organized school papers. This is what I love the most, I'm the type of girl who is super OC on my things. Like I want it to be on place always. I usually had a big envelope every semester where I can put all my notes, handouts, exercises, etc. so that when I need it I can find it right away. Plus my books were arranged accordingly. I think this can help because you will find a wider and clean space in your study area.


    3. Have a break. It's not always books! Find some time to keep you relax to lessen the stress. Eat out with friends at least once a week or have yourself some retail therapy :)

    4. Be inspired with your family. I know we all do this to pay off our parents in the future. I'm very happy that my family were supportive and they just keep on telling me that I can do it. By that, I am more inspired to study well. Let them be our inspirations.


    5. Do your passion. For me it's blogging, it has been my hobby first and then turned into passion. I just love writing everything that comes into my mind and share with everyone. It also helps me lessen the stress plus by reading other bloggers blog!

    6. Reward yourself. This is very effective because as it makes you strive more and then when you passed or didn't have a failing grade, it's time to reward yourself for doing a great job. Like for me I buy lipstick or clothes.Or even a food trip is also fun!


    Whatever your strategies on how to stay motivated is dependent on your own. It's just a matter of doing things equally. Everything will fall perfectly into place, believe me. When you think you can't, think again. Discover yourself and don't let stress and problems cover you. We can do it! Cheers! xo

    In the emerging blogging industry, lots of people had been eyeing for bloggers. On what they do on this job and how they manage their everyday life. This is just one of the major questions the readers want to know. Since 2013 I've been a fan of bloggers; that I really tracked on their social media accounts and blogs to know them better. It's also the reason why I became interested in blogging. I had my first blog in Tumblr but after few months later I transferred to Blogspot. 

    As years go along, I discovered new faces in the blogging industry. Came 2015 (I don't remember what exactly month) when I was browsing Vina Guerrero & David Guison's Instagram posts, I became curious with the one tagged on the photo:  @chinchinobcena. I go through her account and mesmerized by her simple beauty and how she can carry different outfits. So I followed all her social media accounts and started reading her blog.

    To cut the story short, Chin Chin Obcena became my inspiration in everything. And I am very thankful that I am chosen to attend at her first event last November 30, 2016 at Ball Pit Manila. I just want to share that Chin Chin herself is the one who invited me. Lucky me? YES! At the time I received her message, I really can't believe it. I've already met her on Bloggers United 11 but nothing conversation happened, I mean just a simple hi. It's just I bought from her booth and took a photo with her. That's why I don't want to miss that chance to bond with her. 

     
    The event was organized by her and everything came to what we are expected. From the venue, foods and giveaways. It was indeed a fun day with her. We got to know her even more and chit chat to everyone including her friends :) We also had a little game where Chin Chin asked random questions about herself and who answered correct will won GCs. Gladly, I know something about her! Hehe. Love my GCs lol!


    Through this event, I had new friends which I can considered a new family. Everyone is accommodating and friendly! And by that, I came up writing the things on what I looked up to Chin Chin. Here it goes:

    1. She keeps her readers attached to her. Not just through social media but personally! She never treated us on the boundary of readers instead as her friends.


    2. She is a cheerful and positive person. I don't know her a lot but on what I see, she can juggle everything through her positive outlook in life.


    3. She is beautiful inside and out. The first time I saw her on Instagram, just wow. She became my instant girl crush! Physical appearance is the thing we looked into first, (#reality) but what I want to see is the beauty within and I didn't fail. Chin Chin have it inside and out.


    4. She can balance school and blogging. As an aspiring blogger and student, this is what I looked up into her. She can do both at the same time. Through her Snapchat and Instagram stories, I saw how she managed both well. I hope I can too.


    5. She keeps her feet on the ground. Though she had been a known blogger up to this time, she never forget to remain what she really is. I know that on what where she is right now is a mixed of handwork and perseverance.


    Though I already gave a message to her on that day, I want to share it here:

    "Hi, Chin if you're reading this I just want to say that I'm really thankful to meet you. Thank you for being an inspiration to us. Just continue doing what you love and don't forget that no matter what we're here for you. I hope we can have that bonding again soon. We really had fun! You deserve everything that you have right now. Keep on shining! Love you always" ❤

    Ahhhh November is almost done in 2 days and I can really feel the spirit of Christmas! But before that, I want to share a few of my favorite personal items/products that I recently used for this month. I always want to do a blog post like this for every end of the month and I hope I can maintain this *crossed fingers* because of school, most of my time is with that (yeah seriously) so there comes a time that I really missed writing about stuffs for my blog. Eeeep! Enough of that side story, let's go with what this blog is all about lol. Here it goes, my top favorites for the month of November!

    Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post :)


    Nuxe Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse®
    This one nourishes, repairs and softens skin and hair. What I love about this is it's not greasy to skin and hair.

    Skin White Advanced Power Whitening Lotion
    No worries for everyday errands under the sun because it has SPF 20 that protects from UV rays. Plus it helps whiten the skin!


    Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick in Clay Crush and Darlingly Nude Shade
    For the lippie addicts out there, who doesn't love nude shades? Ahhh super love these two and I want to complete their nude collection!

    Rubi Cross Body Bag
    I bought this from an online shop for almost a year and it's still my go-to bag whenever I go out. I like its cute size that I can put all my essentials plus I love the studded design!  I usually use it on weekends or every time I go out :)


    Solemate Flats 
    Because most of my footwear are flats, I always look for it when I go shopping. This baby caught my eye through the color and the ribbon accent. It was my first shoes from Solemate and I don't know that they offer fashionable sandals like this at super affordable price! (trust me when I say SUPER! hahaha)


    Jukaykay atbp. Cullotes
    For this current fashion trend, I used it as an alternative for pants/shorts. It's very comfortable and can be pair with everything and looks stylish! More cullotes to come!

    After my past personal and PR blog posts, I miss writing about fashion so here I came up with sharing to all of you my outfit for my birthday last October. For a quick reference, I celebrated my birthday with my sister at one of the famous parks in Laguna; Nuvali in Sta. Rosa Laguna :) Sorry for the late post because I'm really stuck with school works! :( #BuhayEstudyante


    So here I wore a jumper skirt for the inner childish in me lol! Right now, I am having addiction on layering outfits. I feel that it's so comfy and the style never goes out. And you can mix and match it with different tops. I am not that too fashionable and I just love wearing stuffs like this that I can carry with myself. Light colors also attracts me well that's why my closet was mostly nude, white and pink.

    Also my tip when you're too lazy to find what you'll wear: Go on dress or something like this :) because when we're having too much time in finding the perfect match for our top/shorts/skirt/etc, this one is the answer! The struggle is real for us girls, I know that! :P Every girl can relate that it really takes an hour before we find the clothes we're gonna wear. But that's life! Hahahaha


    I also recommend you guys to check out Jukaykay atbp social media accounts and their physical stores! I highly recommend them because they have all the trendy and fashionable clothes that is super affordable! I am wearing ribbed top and jumper skirt from them :)
