The leading spa directory of the Philippines, Manila Touch, has launched SPA FINDER PH, an app devoted to bring
convenience to its users who are a massage enthusiast on June 29, 2015.
When I'm not blogging, I'm definitely eating. One of my favorite food would have to be pizza. I like how pizza can be so light and full-filing(?) at the same time. It's easy to eat, you know it's not really complicated - just use your hands (unless your the fancy shmancy fork and knife - kind of person). Pluuuuuus it's cheesy! Safe to say, I can eat pizza forever (and I mean forever)
Because of this love for pizza, I have set my heart and tummy to find the best pizza in the world. I mean who does that? Huhu. After trying a lot of pizza-s in my lifetime, I think I finally found my favorite.
Hello! Welcome to the first volume of Sunday Currently. I hope to this on a weekly basis, we'll see.
C U R R E N T L Y
READING
the ABCs of Hand Lettering by Abbey Sy. My mom bought it for me a week ago but I still like to reread the book - it's beautiful and really helpful. (will probably do a blogpost about it too)
WRITING
this and two more new blog posts due this week. I promised myself I would have to keep blogging every now and then. I missed so many events during school that I could have been writing by now... but meh, that's okay. Just keep writing (just keep swimming, swimming...)
LISTENING
to Us the Duo on Spotify.... ekkk! They're going to have their first full length show in the Philippines next month. I CANNOT WAIT! For now, I have "No Matter Where You Are" on repeat. I just love this song.
THINKING
about nice business opportunities. Ohhh you know the student feels. You want to go out but don't have enough money or you probably already spent it the first outing. So every time I get out of school for the summer I'd like to think about what I can do to earn money. It actually is pretty fun and it gets addicting when you make many sales..... huhu. Maybe I should have taken "business and entrepreneurship" as my life course. But that's another thought. Must not overthink.
SMELLING
old cloth from Divisoria. My sister and I started with business duties again which meant we went back to sewing stuff toys yesterday. It was the first time in months since we touched the cloth we bought from Divi. The smell is too strong.
WISHING
for it to be July 4 already. My boyfriend is out of the country and it's been a month already. I can't wait for him to get back because I can finally go ouuuuut! Not that I can't right now. It's just most of my friends are on their "On The Job Trainings" and taking "MidYear" classes. Plus, I also miss him. The 12 hour difference is killing me and my brain cells. I need sleep.
WEARING
the usual lazy day outfit - my grey racer back top and my blue cotton on shorts - very comfy.
LOVING
our baby shitzsu named Waffle. We adopted her last February but since I stay in the dormitory at school, I only go home on weekends so I rarely see Waffle. Finally this month, I stayed at home for the longest time ever. And since my sisters and brother go to school (June na eh), it's usually just me and Waffle at home. She is so playful, okay. HAHA
WANTING
coffee from Starbucks.... or iced green tea latte. That sounds good right now. Oh and biscuits. I want biscuits.
NEEDING
A back massage. HAHAHAHA how maarte but I mean it. I went hiking and backpacking with friends + I went to LB more than twice to fix papers + business duties all this week. I'm tired but not pretty.
FEELING
lazy today buuuuuut overall, I feel really happy and blessed. I go to Facebook and see all these "sablay" pictures (graduation tradition in UP) and I have mix emotions. I feel happy seeing my engineering friends and orgmates FINALLY graduating. To finish engineering is a real struggle and I really look up to them. For some who have gone over the usual 5 years (but believe me, in UP - it's impossible not to be delayed in engineering so it's normal), to finally graduate means real happiness. I am so proud. But I also feel sad seeing them go. I am really close to my orgmates especially the older ones so when they leave UP, I know I'll miss them.
So that's basically it. How's everyone's Sunday? :) Click here to join the blog link by siddathornton.
With so much beauty products going around the market, it becomes challenging to find ones that really work on you. I too have troubles but for Her Beauty Guide, who has been in the industry for more than 2 years now, they know exactly what every beauty junkie wants and needs!
And to top it all off.... they just opened their 6th store last June 20. Her Beauty Guide has officially opened their own booth inside Cinderella at Glorietta 3.
Last June 12 (Friday), a talk on how to get to New Zealand was held at the Pascasio hall in Philam Village, Las Pinas City. The talk started at around 9 o'clock in the morning. My dad and his friends (from New Zealand) were the main organizers and speakers. My siblings and I were there to help around but we also listened because we were interested too.
For me, summer has just begun. But for most of you, it's back-to-school season yet again. I know how we can never get ready to go back to school. I mean, who is? All those long study notes, endless reviews, painful exams (wow, making school sound really like it's torture hahahahuhu) and challenging projects. But I have good news for you, Global tech titan, Acer has got you covered! Here's how you can #PullItOff this school year with their latest - Aspire Switch 12, Aspire Switch 11 and Aspire Switch 10 E!
Heyyyy. Here's a short lazy-post because I'm (not lazy but) tired. I ran errands the whole day but I still decided to write. Hope you enjoy this post!
Two days into my summer break and I got myself into something I don't even know. My sister just asked me the night before "Ate, wanna come help me dress models? My friend is looking for people who want to help. Free food!"..... So you know me, she had at "free food". The next morning we went to Glorietta for apparently.... a fashion show.
I was pretty overwhelmed with what had to be done, what was going on and probably everything else in between. Our call time was at 10am but the fashion show started at 4pm. If you think fashion shows are easy to organize, you thought wrong!
The event finished around 9pm. Here are some of the things that we did as a dresser / stylist along with what happened behind the fashion show and some realizations:
Sooooo there you have it, friends - a Mely in her unusual habitat... and she had fun! I also made friends with other dressers / stylists. It's funny how I suddenly want to be part of too of fancy shmancy fashion events like this..... not my forte but it was a good experience. Hopefully, this won't be my last gig.

- To be able to be in the fashion industry, you have to know brands. AND I MEAN BRANDS. Know how to pronounce their names right and youuu know, acknowledge the designers and their branding.
- We were assigned 1-2 models each. I was assigned 2....... what we did was we had to take note of which brands they were going to wear and get their outfits from the closets (filled with more branded outfits oh la la). We had to create their own "rack" and arranged it according to the sequence of brands. It was fun and challenging, okay.
- Models get to wear expensive and pretty clothes but they don't get to keep them. LIKE OMG. I wanted to be a model when I was a kid because I thought they get to keep the clothes the wore..... It does happens sometimes buuuuuut rarely according to my friend.
- For shoes not to get dirty, we had to put masking tape on the sole. It had to be perfect so when the camera zooms in, the tape wont be seen
- Steaming gusot clothes is a must :p
- THE FEMALE MODELS WERE SO PRETTY!!
- Bring extra safety pins and hair pins.
- The female models were also soooooooo very nice. Yes, they are human too. They talk to you and sometimes as a dresser, they don't want help from me/us. I don't know if their shy and all but they were really kind.
- The only thing the female models had to bring was their heels. They usually come in 5-6 inches high and in nude or black. :)
- WE ALSO GOT TO DRESS THE MALE MODELS FOR MEN'S WEEK........ I admit it was so hard not to be awkward, they were wearing / walking around in briefs okay. HAHAHUHU
- Never leave your rack. It's all a fast process.... once your model is done walking on the ramp, she/he comes back to have their outfit changed. Be alert and prepared!
- Enjoy! Even if you can't see what's happening in front, it's also as fun backstage. :)
Sooooo there you have it, friends - a Mely in her unusual habitat... and she had fun! I also made friends with other dressers / stylists. It's funny how I suddenly want to be part of too of fancy shmancy fashion events like this..... not my forte but it was a good experience. Hopefully, this won't be my last gig.
At the end of the day, once the fashion show finishes (last model walks that ramp and comes back), everyone starts clapping backstage. You're feeling really tired but happy and fulfilled. It was a great team effort.
I really had fun! How about you? Have you ever been a stylist or dresser? How about model? Tell me your fashown stories. I wanna know! :) :)
Finally writing about where I bought my prescription glasses. It was actually my boyfriend who told me about the place and I just want to share it with you all. :-)
I saw this list on spot.ph about cafes a bookworm must visit. One cafe on the list was Press Cafe at Alabang Town Center..... and I guess this really is the first on my list since ATC is very near me. The rest are in Maginhawa. Huhu (someone please tour me). Anyways, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Press Cafe yesterday. This isn't a review because we went here after lunch just to have coffee. Here's what you can expect when you go to Press Cafe :)
[SHORT LIFE UPDATE] I was cleaning my hard drive because apparently my Macbook Pro is sick.... Huhu. Well, there are some technical glitches. So before I say good bye to my laptop for a month, I have to empty it first. I honestly don't know how I'm going to live without it. Plus that means, less chances of blogging. Anyways, moving on.... I found these pictures on my hard drive. They're old pictures but I still find them pretty that I had to post them, again (?)- but I'm sure you get that feeling too, sometimes.
I have always wanted to go hiking but with my super tight schedule, I still haven't been able to cross that out the bucket list. So I decided to do the next best thing, go on a nature walk. (I know huhu)
Since I study in UPLB, I don't have to look far to find "nature". My boyfriend and I were originally just going to relax in the freedom park but we found a lot of people already there. Thus, we went to the upper campus of UPLB. I was always at the lower campus so I was pretty excited as everything I thought about the upper campus was a mystery.
