Did you know that in the US, there was this once a fashion commandment to not wear white after Labour Day (September 1)? Yep. And like a throwback hashtag, this sartorial decree comes up during this season to remind us of (1) the snobbery of the American millionaires in the early 1900s who wanted to…
Things I Learned About Teaching Group Fitness Classes
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…
Mt Maculot
We could’ve very well just stayed at the rockies…but a summit is a summit! It was a little after 2am in the McDonald’s meeting place when we found our hike coordinator Karl among the sea of travellers in there. His face didn’t register to me when we met him but later in the conversation when…
Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Full disclosure: My idea to visit Paris only occurred to me probably two months before the departure. While it’s unlikely of me venturing out to Europe for the first time alone in such short notice, I was a bit confident because I have a friend in Paris who I know will help me out. Enter…
Chasing Falls in Cebu
Tip: Even if you think you’ve got your itinerary all figured out, it still wouldn’t hurt to consult locals for suggestions. Of course, this is pretty much standard practice (especially if you’re a nosy and talkative person, lol) but part of this tip is being flexible as well in your travel plans. Now the latter …
On Traveling Solo (feat Kalanggaman Island)
About two or three weeks ago, I received a newsletter from a travel agency (that up until now I don’t know how I started subscribing to) with some irresistible Asia tour promo packages. They’re incredibly cheap considering airfare, tour and accommodation already included. As I was just getting excited to send an email about details…
Vision in White
Lately, I find myself pinning bridal dresses. It’s not because my wedding is soon to come (puhr-lease?!?! *snorts*) but I blame it on the various topics about it in some online magazines that I am currently subscribed to (imagine about 10 different styles of wedding dress per post, ugh!) I think there’s nothing so unusual…
#TrioThursday: Rainy Day Looks
If you remember, about two weeks ago, Henry ( a tropical depression) entered the country that resulted to early dismissals and suspensions even of work for some days. Since for both times the announcements were made when I was in the workplace already, my greatest benefit was that I got to workout more in the…
Kermit Green
Remember when Pantone announced ultra violet as colour of the year? Well half the year has gone by but did you notice any prominence of that colour in clothing or other industries? It doesn’t look like it for me. Whereas yellow, the one I predicted to be bigger this year, is still continuing to make…
Mermaid Maxi
Okay, so I just read an article about this thing about wearing a”second look” for bridesmaids in the bridal party. The rationale behind is that if the bride can do it, why can’t the bridesmaids? Right? It makes sense because, bridesmaids need to be comfortable during the party too, yes? Haha. But today I’m going…
