How To Smell Like Your Favorite Local Celebrity?

I can't honestly survive without spraying a cologne or perfume in a day. Call me (a) weird but that's who I am, maybe it's because I am surrounded with people in my kin who loves to wear fragrances. I don't wear perfume or cologne to cover up any unwanted & less pleasant smells, because I honestly don't have any body odor.
Got so many reasons to explain why I do like fragrances, firstly is, it's out of my habit; for sensual delight; to be thought clean (do I am cleaned and hygienic) but the most important reason should probably be that I simply want to carry around something beautiful with me, and on me. Fragrance will accompany me throughout the day & perhaps you would agree with me on this part.
Now, if you want to know your local celebrities fragrance(s) so here it is, herewith are the lists of your faves' celebs scents which I got from a celebs link.



































Searching for the vintage picture of Madam Imelda's favorite perfume was truly hard.










So, if you want to smell like your favorite local female celebrities and can afford to buy their favorite fragrances then indulge in.
Thanking the Cosmopolitan Philippines for sharing the local celebs fave fragrances on their website.

The Beauty of Ifugao Rice Terraces

'Twas a long week end when a good friend (thanks Michael O.for the treat) and I packed our bags headed up north of Philippines pride the Ifugao Rice Terraces.
The trip was rainy and foggy yet, it didn't hinder our plan to see this World's wonder.
Arriving at Banaue got my goose pimples up, it's really amazing and irreplaceable. 
I just found out that Batad is a different & far from Banaue that you really have to condition your legs for a long trekking. And it is the World Heritage Site by UNESCO while Banaue is the 8th Wonder's of the World. 
After all, I just noticed that I could no longer produces a lot of adrenaline in me for a long, far, steeply places as my knee caps started to ache. 
Biblically speaking,when tribulation comes I'd be among of those unable to run and walk on slopes and hardest places to trek, but then for sure God will send His angels for that matter.
After all, Banaue and Batad terraces are in danger, young people of today finding no pleasures of saving it just as their ancestors were expecting them to be.

 My trip to Banaue is incomparable.


The mushrooming of houses in Banaue, that doesn't beautify the place.



     UNESCO World Heritage, Batad Rice Terraces.
                                            

     This place truly wowed me.

It's More Fun in the Philippines

My country has a new form of promoting the Philippines. With its new campaign, hoping it could tempt and invite a lot of foreigners to come to the Philippines.
"It's More Fun in the Philippines", is the newly campaign of the Department of Tourism, finally, after some arguments and war in the DOT office it has been cleared and decided. It is a perfect platform of introducing the island to the world.

Americans - Taxi Drivers in the Philippines?

Because I am on a summer vacation right now, checking the internet like Facebooking, watching movies and everything has been my usual hobbies for the meantime. As I tried to check some videos in youtube about the possible videos that would reminds me of Philippines, I stumbled into a recorded video cam in youtube about two Americans experimenting jobs in the Philippines. They were featured in Jessica Soho's program, and that really astonished me to see how these two foreign people in my country doing the Pinoy jobs. So funny to see yet it reminds me that we could possibly survive if try to start on doing the minial jobs in the Philippines.
I might be too late to post this on blog but you see, I am trying to update myself on the latest buzz in the Philippines, it so happened that I was late about this infos.

A SLICE OF LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES







If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.
