    Happy Birthday self! Wooot! (Cue in Taylor Swift’s “22”) Why does time really passed by so fast? I don’t want get old anymore! Lol. If only, right? As they say, life goes on. We just need to make the most out of it and take it as a roller coaster ride journey. And as a tradition here on my blog, I always make sure to publish a birthday post. So here, I made a list of all my life (and random) learnings over the years.


    1. It’s okay to get hurt – in all aspects. We all have feelings, anyway.
    2. You will gain friends, but you will lose some. You know what I mean J
    3. Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. Deal with our differences.
    4. Not everything planned will work out. Life’s not a game plan! Changes is everywhere.
    5. Insecurities are normal. You just have to see that we’re all unique in our own ways.
    6. But don’t compare yourself to others. You have your own trademark. Take it as your strength.
    7. You can’t please everyone. Whatever we do, people always have their say.
    8. Be with positive and supportive people. There’s no room for negative vibes!
    9. Do what you love. It’s fulfilling!
    10. Don’t be too impulsive! – specially on shopping!! You don’t have to buy something trendy or just cute in stores, invest on pieces that you really need and can be used for a long time.
    11. SAVE.SAVE.SAVE. You need that savings!
    12. Indulge on your favorite food. Carbs and sweets? Who doesn’t love that! But make sure to keep track on a healthy lifestyle.
    13. Smile more. It can change your mood.
    14. Take that ootd and post on Instagram. Show them your inner fashionista!
    15. Don’t let social media take your life. Go offline for a while and you’ll see the real life.
    16. Listen to your favorite music. Feel the vibe/ moment – it can brighten up your day.
    17. Less is more. Being minimalist makes your life easier.
    18. Learn the art of letting go. Fix your closet and sell those things that you will not use anymore – you’ll make money out of it as well.
    19. Miracles do happen. You just have to believe.
    20. Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll experience both happiness and sadness.
    21. You deserve the best!
    22. Growing up is part of your life. As you get older, you’ll realize what matters the most and you’ll be more determined to pursue what you really want.

    For over 40 years in the Philippines, Avon has been empowering women through beauty and entrepreneurship. This is a commitment that extends to its fashion category, embracing design with a purpose and producing fashion pieces that enable women to achieve more than just impeccable style.

    Being one of Avon's celebrity ambassadors, Angel Locsin and Avon Fashions created a collection that bears the same carpe diem attitude that makes her such an icon for women. Each piece was designed to help women organize, hence making it easier to be a go-getter like Angel.

    There were three types of bags that reflects the three distinct facets of Angel Locsin.

    Angel, the She-EO
    If there’s one thing Angel does best, it’s handling her time well. She knows that every hour is an opportunity, and she does her best with it. The Angel Locsin Everyday Bag transforms between a tote and a sling, in a classic color that can match any outfit. It has an adjustable strap, and has enough room to cover the whole day. This classy yet edgy bag goes with two clear pouches perfect to keep things even more organized.

    Angel, the Screen Icon
    It takes more than just looks to thrive in showbusiness, and Angel knows this by heart. Whether she’s taking on a new role or sharing her wisdom as a talent show judge, the Angel Locsin Sling Bag holds all her essentials in a stylish little package. Its three compartments make it easy to organize, while the chic red leatherette ensures that she’s stylish, wherever the shoot may take her.

    Angel, the Renaissance Woman
    Even outside work, Angel sees to it that she takes every chance to experience something new. Such a spontaneous life requires something that she can just grab at a moment’s notice. The Angel Locsin Backpack has room for a variety of activities, and keeps her hands free while she’s at it. The drawstring closure adjusts to every situation, and the zipped pockets keep essentials within easy reach. It even comes with a matching wallet!

    Take every opportunity with no worries as Avon Fashions x Angel Locsin helps you stay in control of your day. Distributed exclusively by the Avon Fashions—the #1 handbag seller in the Philippines—each bag is made with high quality materials, and is designed for maximum style and practicality, wherever and whenever you need it.

    The Avon Fashions x Angel Locsin collection now available this October through any Avon Representative or AvonShop.ph.

    There is no denying that Filipinas are strong and beautiful women – but what does it really take to become one?

    Filipinas live in a tiis-ganda culture where they go through lengths of unimaginable pain to look beautiful. Any sign of imperfection is tucked away, concealed. A scar is covered with makeup, a struggle is hidden with a smile when it should be embraced as a mark of triumph.

    As a brand that has always worked to make women feel confident about their own version of beauty, Pantene Philippines started the #StrongerNow movement, recognizing that scars are not meant to be hidden – that they are to be worn with pride, especially that they are signs that a woman is braver, more beautiful, and stronger now because of the struggles she overcame. This campaign aims to inspire Filipinas to celebrate every scar, sweat and struggle that made them the kind of strong they are now.


    #StrongerNow is a collection of stories of struggles and triumphs of Filipinas in all walks of life – from the celebrities we have grown to love to the everyday women we see on our daily commute. It tells stories of real Filipinas whose strength and resilience further let their inner beauty shine.



    ANNE CURTIS-SMITH: CRITICIZED THEN, ON THE TOP OF HER GAME NOW

    We have seen Anne Curtis-Smith grow from a TV sweetheart to a daring movie star with the roles she has taken over the years - she has showcased her excellent entertaining skills through her sold-out concerts, too. What is not familiar to us, however, is the road she paved to break into the showbiz industry. There have been times before she skyrocketed to stardom, when she would struggle to lock in a project but she never stopped working, making her ANNEstoppable!

    GABBI GARCIA: SHY GIRL THEN, GLOBAL ENDORSER NOW

    Gabbi Garcia is another woman the country has fallen in love with, especially for breaking through the beauty standards with her Morena skin that she now wears so proudly, encouraging more Filipinas to do the same. But all this confidence she has now actually started from a deep sense of insecurity, having to get through criticisms for being too “regular-looking”. She let go of her doubts as she learned to find strength in herself and in others, working towards inspiring the people that look up to her that regardless of your looks and what other thinks, it is important to stay true to yourself.

    Pantene Philippines’ all-start lineup of brand ambassadors also share the stories that made them stronger now.


    Anna Cay, vlogger then app owner now
    Alodia Gosiengfiao, hobbyist then gaming idol now
    Chi Gibbs, apprentice then self-made boss now
    Gabs Gibbs, multi-media student then multi-faceted artist now
    Dennise Lazaro, beginner then national athlete now
    Jasmine Curtis-Smith, new comer then award-winning now
    Joyce Pring, student VJ then certified host now
    Say Tioco, self-doubting then confident now
    Kevin Balot, unwelcome then celebrated now
    Danah and Stacey Gutierrez, insecure then self-loving now

    Anna Cay
    Say Tioco

    The stories of struggles and success of Anne and Gabbi, as well as of every Filipina out there made me reminisced all my insecurities back then. I was once that shy girl too. Since I was a kid, I don’t really have that stand on believing on what I can do; I always compare myself to others. And when I started blogging where I can put all my thoughts and ideas through writing, I became more outspoken and it made my channel on expressing who I am. I’m now confident on myself and believes that every struggle I face is the one that will make me stronger.

    With this campaign, Pantene Philippines also launches the new Pantene Pro-Vitamin series, which features the first-ever vitamin shampoo and the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner that are designed to put in more nutrients with every wash, strengthening hair with resilience to take on daily hair stress. Through the patented Gel Network Technology, hair is replenished with essential nutrients – anti-oxidants, emollients, and Pro-Vitamins – by melting lipids into fibers.


    It comes in the following variants:


    Hair Fall Control

    Total Damage Care

    Silky Smooth Care

    Color Protect

    Each 170 ml Pro-Vitamin shampoo retails for PHP109 and 150 ml 3 Minute Miracle conditioner for PHP 149.
