The stripes are always pushing forward! Just think of all the stripes of all scales,⎼ they all communicate youthful energy and modern flare. From the basic horizontal and vertical stripes to the athletic trims and, or, as just a graphic accent. All of it radiates modernity even on the classic favourites that have been revived.

To dip your toe in mixed patterns can be quite intimidating, but it is easier to pull off than wearing a busier print-on-print combo. All it takes not to look like a drag with prints and stripes is to always be mindful of which one looks busier than the other.

Wearing different layers of stripes altogether is already eye-grabbing on its own, so keep the accessories simple. A nice solid colour flat clutch and strappy sandals would still give that minimalist-chic vibe.

Many voluptuous girls are not confident wearing stripes, they worry that they might look funny being in one. Try them on the diagonal, instead of horizontally, this is a good choice to make some parts of your body look slimmer. I absolutely love slim-fit trousers with nautical stripes, they look sexy and even sexier with a floppy hat on!

Wide stripes can make the slimmest of toothpick body shape look big, so the million dollar question is how to look fab without looking fat? Simple, if you have a wide shape that means don’t wear the wide stripes. If it hasn’t quelled your nerves yet about putting this bold pairing of festive stripes and fringing together on your own, there are more options to do the mixing and matching for you. Slip this on and stick with minimal jewelry or do not add anything else at all. Cropped also helps reign things in!

If you are wearing a slouchy pants with horizontal stripes, the key is to follow where the lines go! Match your stripes in a voluminous silhouette like this black peplum top. You could also pair it with a simple tee or tank. Even better if you’re finishing it off with chunky heels and a sleek clutch! I love the idea of a billowing pajama pant in vertical cricket stripes. Wear it with a pajama-style top too or a tank with its horizontal version. Although, you need to add a shape when wearing a pair of all stripes,⎼ belt something to define your waists.

  This cultural trip was a bonding moment for me, my mom, and my best of friends, the tour only costs P 2,500 per person. Our ferry sailed for over an hour and 30 minutes from the seaside terminal to Corregidor island’s bay. And the moment a laid my eyes on the island my subconsciousness seemed to have engulfed back in time when the American liberation gained control over Philippine’s arm forces. Perhaps, Isla ng Corregidor is the most imperative coastal artillery in the Philippines back then. A volcanic caldera which once served as a harbor defense of the country against any intruders prowling stealthily in the southwestern seas of Luzon, during the deadly years of World War II. I must say, it was of a good fluke that we were led by the best tour guide in Corregidor. Armando’s knowledge of the war dazzled me. From the old photos of children impaled in bayonets and the huge empty cartridges he carries with him from decades old large firearms. It was entertaining how he delivers jokes in between his narrative of the island’s ruling period before it declined upon the arrival of the Japanese military. He clearly loves his work for nearly 20 years now. Imagine that!

We were met by a couple of Trams (that don’t run on tracks) along with other, which most are Foreign tourists. Japanese, Americans, even Koreans! Each Tram has numbers, which is pretty much for organizing the tourists, we joined a group of Americans on the Tram number 5 (thank goodness I remember it!) Half of the day we spent in visiting the ruins of hospitals and other establishments, after that we went to the hotel for our lunch. The food was awesome. The humidity plus dehydration got so hungry that I pigged out on lunch eating lots of baked spuds, fish fillet, and watermelons! It was also enjoyable to see foreigners eating Filipino food, especially rice because I do not get to see that every day.

It was a little scary when the tram started sloping up and down the skyward roads, my thoughts were fidgeting with the wheels, our weight, and the freaking gravity! We passed through random tunnels which were a great distraction and some ruins of small buildings that are still standing proud. They are almost unnoticed because of how small they look now. There was even another one we saw on an islet, right across the island. The Malinta tunnel is an uncanny element of the island. You can feel right away the somewhat disturbing vibe as soon as you go in. I’m certain it isn’t for a fact that a tunnel is hollow because I’m not claustrophobic. Perhaps, the experience might actually have been seriously eerie if only the tourist guides and caretakers were not there. Nevertheless, it’s likely due of the tunnel’s horrid residual memory, moreover, heightened by the creepy side tunnels. The part that is most striking for me is the long stretch of lawn occupied by the ruins of a once a central infirmary.

I have loads of photos that can sum up my experience in Corregidor, and I hate to tire my readers with my tendencies of platitude, which can fill another entire page. I’ll get down with the highlights, I have never seen canyons, in enormous size scattered on the sides of the roads unmoved and partly buried as if they are just ordinary giant pieces of steel. But I have to say this. Although it seems mawkish, it makes the entire historical vibe authentic, and that deserves reverence.

Special thanks to the office of Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone (TIEZA), and for Sir Mark Lapid for making it possible for us to experience the tour.

What To Wear With Your Sneaker Wedges

I remembered the evolution of sneaker wedges back in the 90s when the spice girls started performing while wearing chunky sneakers with the glitzy union jack on them. At first they look gaudy and heavy enough for a leg workout. Oh boy, I am so glad that instead of throwing the sneaker wedges to the rubbish bin, they improved it fabulously. I started buying mine just in time when the sneaker…

Just like most home shoppers, we all want to make sure that our hard-earned money goes to a property where we can instantly see our lives unfolding to a better and happier living. With so many housing developments offering a good price, we need to evaluate what matters to us the most in terms of services, convenience, and accessibility. It’s about how we feel when we walk through the front door,— tracking our wants and needs. It is very difficult to buy OUR WISH LIST with the anticipated housing needs and budget.

I was invited to a wine tasting event at the Lancris Residences in Parañaque city and had the chance to check their site development plan. My first impression of its mid-rise infrastructure and its entire architectural perspective is its suitability for homeowners with kids. Choosing the right location that can accommodate a family’s needs is substantial for every real estate, and I have to say, they are seriously building a home granting that wish.

The modern home built within the 3.21 acres property land that stands up to seven floors sits in the midst of a peaceful and well-gated suburban community. This location is not far from the major business concentration portals, only four miles away from the Manila airport and approximately six miles away from Makati city.

We toured around the units of the Diamond tower, which is already ready for occupancy. The two-bedroom units measure 41.79 square meters each. It all has the basic functions needed in a home, a nice granite countertop, modular kitchen cabinets, completely tiled flooring and equipped with high-speed fiber optic cables. Other than that, what caught my attention is how they utilise their penthouse space. Most condos use the highest floor of their building only as a drying area for their laundry, of course, the floor had been divided to produce a large space for the drying cages. But, the extra space has been utilised wisely. They covered the floor with artificial lawn, placed a playhouse with a slide and benches.

The next tower to look forward to is the completion of the Garnet Tower. When it’s all flourished, the 52 square meters two-bedroom units and 81.60 square meters three-bedroom units will be ready to welcome new homeowners. I am sure it will have another beautiful sky garden. Soon, this residential oasis will complete its jogging trail, basketball court, Badminton Court, Billiard Hall, Fitness Gym and 25m lap pool. Seems like I need to start marking my wishlist.
