  • Google Invites Geneticists to Upload DNA to The Cloud

    Google is never short of surprises. After rocking the industry by announcing a massive price cut on their cloud-based storage system, The Drive just days before, Google is at it again, inviting a team of geneticists to upload information into the Mountain View Search giant’s cloud infrastructure. Google has provided the scientists a walk through… Continue reading

  • Raising A Teen Daughter As A Single Father

    Raising children as a single parent is definitely not a picnic but raising a teen daughter as a single father is certainly challenging. This is because as a daughter hits puberty, her body goes through all sort of changes and she needs someone to relate to, someone who can guide her through these changes and… Continue reading

  • Dealing With Angsty Teens

    Just when you thought you knew your child, puberty hits and it feels like the once rambunctious ball of energy that gave you so much joy turned into a completely different person. One that dresses like an old man, resents authority with a passion and have a devil-may-care-attitude to match. They grow up so fast,… Continue reading

  • Review: Smashbox Full Exposure Palette

    Review: Smashbox Full Exposure Palette

    Lawrd, I never had to work this hard for shimmers to show up on my peepers until the Smashbox Full Exposure palette came along. Fair warning, this palette is not for newbies (like myself). I did read reviews about how problematic the shimmers were but paid no attention because one look at the row of… Continue reading

  • Review: Snoe Emutox

    I was looking for a great facial mist the other day and came across a great one from Snoe (more one that in the future). Y’all know how impressed I was with Snoe’s It’s Oat-k, It’s Alright Foaming Cleansing Oil and since I have great experience with the brand, I didn’t think twice about picking out… Continue reading

    Summer 2014 Chapter 2: A Beachin' Good Time

    It’s the first week of summer and my friends, beau and I headed to the beach to celebrate! The last time I was at the beach was four months ago in Hundred Island, Pangasinan. We were left somewhat disappointed by the rocky beaches. The view was nice though but there was no warning that the place was just… Continue reading

  • Summer 2014 Chapter 1: Getting In Touch With The Wild

    Summer 2014 Chapter 1: Getting In Touch With The Wild

    I revisited one of the Zambales’ best-kept secret, Potipot Island in an almost 5-day stay at Cerana Farms, my friend’s dad is the owner of the property. And because internet connection does not exist between two mountains, it was also a great way to detox from technology and the “hustle and bustle” of city living. I… Continue reading

  • Candy Shoes

    Candy Shoes

    What did I tell ya? I told you I’d hunt these babies down as soon as I set foot on the mall right? And I did a fine job too considering the Melissmia was apparently from an extremely old collection (midyear 2013, I think). It wasn’t really easy. After travelling to Tarlac back to the… Continue reading

  • Firing Up My Obsession For Shoes

    Y’all know I was a massive shoe and bag whore before all these makeup and skincare thing became a full-blown obsession, right? No? Well, I was! The last pair of shoes I bought was a boring pair of nude flats because I never owned anything nude since forever. And true to form, I never wore… Continue reading

  • The Boyf's Birthday 2014 Edition

    I’ve been focusing heavily on my upcoming beach vacation that I have forgotten to post more bits and pieces related to my boyfriend’s birthday! Last year, I got him a his own XBOX console and this year, I got him his first G-Shock watch. Behold: My boyfriend insists on getting this terribly trashy orange or… Continue reading
