EARLY NIGHT?

Who said you can’t party EARLY at NIGHT? All thanks to Aracama’s Early Night. Their beers are priced at 60 pesos!! That’s half the price of other high-end clubs around Fort or Makati, their cocktails are served per glass or by PITCHERS at very feasible price, which also comes with an alluring aesthetic.

Located at  2nd Floor Fort Strip, BGC, Ave, 5th, Taguig, Metro Manila, their neon light signage will queue a trendy-its-so-cute-im-gonna-take-a-picture-outrage! 

Young professionals and millennials are going crazy over the place, I mean who can blame them? Just look at this interior! It’s a cheaper and better way to get the fun and classy party vibe, way cooler than any other! 

A glass of SANGRIA costs about 120 pesos only!

(They serve good tasting food also!)

and of course, a mini photo shoot for free!

Go pay them a visit now and get that break you deserve!

FALL IN JAPAN

I had the best time in the Japan! Being away from all the stress of school and irrelevant people back home made my life at ease for a short while. My friends were the best photographers and travel buddies I couldn’t ask for more haha. The Japanese people are truly one of the smartest people in the world, their culture is so rich that you can taste it in their food!!

Here are some photos I took during the trip!

MCAD;The Vexed Contemporary

Museum of Contemporary Art and Design

One of the reasons why I love my school is that it’s just so  extraordinary. In our SDA campus you can find  Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) where you get to see works of talented artists/students from CSB even if you’re an outsider. For free!

The sunlight and these rockets are a perfect combo,it’s like a disco ball but its a rocket.

This is my friend she is not part of the art.

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

It’s a hassle to bring so many stuff when you’re in a trip,it will cost you additional weight to carry which is tiring and sometimes,you cannot just fit them all in your bag,besides your in a trip,you’re not running away from home so make sure you bring the stuff you only need!

     As for me,

I like to bring the comfiest clothes I have.

Sunnies are necessity (only wear them if its too sunny because sunlight is good for your eyes too).

I cannot last a day without music,so I gear up with my ear pods.

Well,I like to be accompanied by pandas and these socks makes me feel like I am.

Bored or hungry I need to chew!! I love chewy and sour edible things!

Gotta capture that moment with my fujifilm instax mini

Stay fresh with your skin care products.

I always need to know what time it is,Get the water proof watch so you could just jump into the pool right away.

Happiest days are made with the help of the comfiest foot wears especially if your trip has a lot of walking.

DIY: AVOCADO MASK

If you do not like eating avocados why not make a face mask using it?

Avocados are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that is good for your skin.

they are great source of  antioxidants as I said ,carotenoids like alpha carotene, beta carotene, beta cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein. and stuff I don’t know but in short its good for your skin it gives you protection from fine lines,wrinkles and other signs of aging (according to http://healthiestfoods.co.uk/) and ofcourse to acne prone skin like mines.

SO LET’S GET STARTED:

You’ll need:

-Avocado,a piece would be enough.

 one piece of kalamansi (squeeze it first!) 

 1tbspn of lemon juice

DON’T INCLUDE THE SEEDS IN MIXING 

And a teaspoon of olive oil 

Now wash them hands!1

MASH that avocado baby!

Kalamansi/Lemonade for vitamin C!!

You can put rocks from the moon (im serious hahahah if you can)

Now  we have the kalamansi,mashed avocado all together olive want to join too!

Fact: Olive oil helps moisturize skin.

There you have it guys! Scoop using a spoon or a spatula then apply on your face! left overs can always be refrigerated and use the next day,as for me I only use it before going to sleep..definitely relaxing.

What should I d.i.y next guys? let me know [email protected]

Multipurpose?

If you already bought sunnies from sunnies studios which I know you have or if you havent yet then you are missing a lot of stuff!!! here is why sunnies studios is everything!!

Not only is it stylish,modern and amazziiing! This brand is a total genius.Before my usual sunnies have this loser bag/container and i would not even think of using it again for other stuff but with sunnies studios they made it something you’d be proud to show off to everyone!

As a guy I dont really need like a seperate bag for my essentials since I only need my sanitizer and my headphones and sunblock if im going for a dip (gotta take care of that skin)

It actually fits perfectly.

Now Im all set for my daily errands/swim time.

Now,having trouble with losing your pens all the time?

WORRY NO MORE! stack it up with your own sunnies pouch!

Lastly! I don’t know about you guys but,I always misplace my flash drives.

Well now I don’t have to #swag #wheremysunniesat haha lol 

That’s how I use my sunnies pouch how about you? Tell me if this helped you or how you use your own sunnies studios pouch!

So this is the view from the rooftop of the condo,I went there to go for a swim and experience living without my mom since in a few weeks im going to manila to study and I’m a bit excited+nervous and i dont want to expect anything because I don’t wanna be disappointed..

..anyways..life there was very new to me living only with my 2 sisters and without mom that I always ask for help,you learn to be independent and grab your own food downstairs or have a delivery and especially the responsibility of budgeting your way to the end of the week!! I kept on buying and eating foods that are pricey when there are lots of restaurants that offers tasty food with a lower price! 

Tip:Don’t be lazy and discover new places!!
