Held off posting these photos as it didn’t seem appropriate to be flaunted during the election day when they were taken (does it make any difference though if they made it in the stories?🤷 ) I mean, I wasn’t spared a day by the government just to relax somewhere (Sorry, just trying to be morally…
Arriving at Solaire’s theatre atleast half an hour early, I could already feel the excitement pulsing through me. Perhaps it’s the phantom’s spell working on me? (It’s a mystery never fully explained. Hehe) Or perhaps it’s the thrill of seeing a musical that’s set in my beloved city. Based on a French novel that’s also…
It’s the first weekend after being back from Egypt and it looks like I won’t be getting my much needed rest. The calendar is still full of activities as I have participated in a dog run and bought a theatre ticket this weekend. Don’t worry guys; I’m safekeeping all the things I learned and saw…
I first heard about Intermittent Fasting (IF) from my good friend Karen last year and though I was totally convinced about its effects, I didn’t see the need to subject myself to the diet. As a healthy eater who loves to eat (lol!), starving myself to good food was just unthinkable then.  About three weeks…
Welcome to a new feature of Cakes and Styles starting this week where I share articles that caught my attention and are worth reading. So, how’s the love week treating you, my single readers? In my last Wednesday dance class, I carefully curated a list of songs that were meant to empower my single class…
As I accept the payment for a branded top that was barely used for a small amount, I told myself “that will teach you to consider your purchases carefully next time, Cakes” About two weeks ago, a friend invited me to hold a garage sale somewhere in Marikina. A self-professed hoarder with passion for anything…
To be honest there are still times when I wash my face at night and in total disbelief that I feel no bumps at all, I have to go to the mirror and check if it’s really real. Last year in Paris, I took several selfies with the Eiffel tower that I couldn’t bear to…
I’m probably not the best person qualified to talk about this topic but that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna stop trying. Everytime you see a news article in social media about waste management and plastic pollution (think: whales being washed up on the ocean dying from plastic ingestion, hidden areas of beautiful islands exposing mountains…
When Denise Keller posted a photo last week about a flutter of emotions one goes through when practicing backbends, I just simply had to pause and do a reflection myself. Just like her, I’ve been doing quite a few backbends in my yoga practice lately and am quite pleased with my progress so far –…
It’s been 3 years since I got certified in the program I trained for in the gym (It’s called Retropop. See class description below.) and after two years of actively teaching it, here’s a list of things I learned as inspired by this post. Maintain a Quality Playlist It’s quite common for Group Exercise instructors…
