Tanduay has been organizing the Tanduay Rhum Rockfest for 6 years now. For the past 5 RRF's it was only held in Manila, the capital of our country, the Philippines. But this year, they are making it big by doing the RRF not just in Manila but also in Cebu and Davao!

Polkas at Work Today

Polka Dot Top: BKK

Blue Pants: Terranova

Sunnies: Zara (obviously my current fave haha)

Pink Heels: Zara (they are so comfy so I always wear them at work)

So here's me on a typical day at work. Just opted to wear blue pants cause my team and I were supposed to saturate. But I got caught up in some meetings and errands. So sadly I wasn't able to join on saturating with my team.

After fixing some errands, I went to the office of Mr. Gerald Co, Branch Manager of Tanduay here in Davao, to talk about the collaboration we are gonna have for the Tanduay Rhum Rockfest. Yes! I will be doing a BLOG GIVEAWAY for this guys! So watch out for this. Post will prolly be up Friday night or Saturday night. (clue: 14 bands from Manila will be flying here to Davao this 19th October)

And now I will be practicing for this dance presentation we are gonna have tomorrow at Fat Bobby's. We dance in Alveo too you know haha! Things we do for work. Wish my batch to win in tomorrow's dance presentation contest you guys! So for now I gotta go. Tata!

What I wore on the F21 Private Launch / Fashion Show

Being one of the organizing team of the event, we were required to wear something black. Since my sister and I were the ones facilitating the registration (the front-liners) we were asked to dress fashionably -- which I loved haha! So I had a custom-made dress done just for the event.

Dress from Patahian by Aztec & Popoy Barba and Dodjie Batu

HEY THERE!

THE LIGHTS!!! LOVE IT.

I look so awkward. I'm really not good with cameras. Not camera shy but I'm not a model too! Haha! So maybe that's why ;)

Ok. My big toes got super swollen cause of my peep-toe heels. Hence the flats haha! Got myself a pair while shopping! I just couldn't stand shopping and walking around with my swollen big toes no more! Torture. Haha!

So what do you think of my dress? Do you like it? I got a lot of crazy reactions from my friends who saw me actually wearing it on the event! But I'd take those as a compliment! "Positivity." Like what I always say on my twitter. It's the key to success --  a.k.a. optimism.

P.S. I would definitely wear this dress again! Prolly in one of my night-outs with my friends in Manila. It's just so nice to be worn just once. It definitely deserves a take-two :) agree?

Forever 21 Private Launch & Fashion Show in Davao

I've always been a fan of Forever 21! So I got super excited when I found out it's finally opening in my hometown, Davao City.

Along with the soft opening of SM Lanang Premier (the 2nd newest SM here in Davao), Forever 21 also opened its doors to a few selected guests last 27th September. They also organized a Fashion Show before finally opening its doors to its invited guests/shoppers. 

Gatchi and Gatchi was the chosen event organizer of Forever 21 here in Davao City. And as always, Mr. Gatchi Gatchalian invited me to be a part of the event organizing team. And of course I said yes! My sister and I were the ones in-charge in facilitating the registration area. At around 4 in the afternoon, people were already lining up to get inside. Minute after minute, the line got longer and longer. A lot of people obviously wanted to have a glimpse of this exclusive Fashion Show by Forever 21. 

So here are some shots of the Event:

The only time you wouldn't see people shopping most probably! Because it was still closed haha!

After the Fashion Show, the doors were finally opened for all the shoppers in the soft opening of SM Lanang Premier. It seemed like a gazillion ants rushing inside the store wanting to have a piece of their sweet sweet craving. Well I was one of the uber excited ants actually haha!

So to all the Davaoenos, have you been to the SM Lanang Premier branch of Forever 21 already? I know you would gaga over the wide array of selection F21 has to offer! From clothing, to bags, to shoes, to accessories! Ugh. They have it all! Which is the reason why my wallet is super slim now :| But it's all worth it!

So. Go. NOW!

Beachy x Shopping Day with My APXLDS BFF

28th September. The day my APXLDS BFF is arriving from China! Woke up around 7am this day. Then I realized Misaki Kanai is arriving today. And I'm supposed to pick her up in the airport! So I immediately got my phone and called my driver. Then when I called her Philippine number, I was so re-leaved that she just landed. Suggested this cafe by the airport where she can grab brecky while waiting for me.

When I got there, we parked by the cafe, then off I go. Running like a little kid that's so excited to see her friend! If you're wondering why I was this excited, well it's because Misaki and I haven't had the chance to see each other for more than a year already. We met March of last year in AIESEC's APXLDS (Asia Pacific Exchange and Leadership Development Seminar) in Vietnam. We became roomies in the pre-conference hotel and immediately got along well. We became shopping and party buddies! We shop like there's no other shopping places we could go and partied like there'e no tomorrow.

After APXLDS was over, we continued to stay in touch even when she was already back in Japan and I was back in the Philippines. We exchanged message over facebook and twitter, and continued to update each other with each other's lives. Until this year, she just messaged me that she's coming here to visit, since China (where she's having her internship now with AIESEC) is going to have a long holiday. We were so excited!!! The two-night quick get-away here in Davao was just so so so fast. Already missing her!

So anyway here's some photos of how we spent our day together.

Here's my APXLDS BFF, Misaki Kanai

We spent a good 2 hours in the beach right after changing at home from the airport

She tried to get a tan

But obviously she failed! Haha! She's still so white!

After the beach, we had lunch at Spirale, Abreeza.

With two of my good friends. Rachelle from CDO and Abi.

I brought her to F21 in SM Lanang Premier. It was so packed since it was the public opening. Plus SM brought some local celebrities for the Davaoenos.

Actually it was only Misaki that was supposed to go shopping, as I already did my shopping the previous day on F21's Private Launch / Fashion Show.

But it was so hard to resist the temptation to shop. Everything's just so nice and uber affordable!

I ended up shopping more than she did! Got 3 5-inch heels! Ugh. We never get enough of them! 

And now I'm basically broke. But I'm happy with all my buys. So it's all good!

Here we were super happy with our mini-shopping spree :)

Did you go to Forever 21 already? Not yet? Well what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go! *as if it's a race* hahaha

What I wore for the day:

Crochet Cover-up: W.A.G.W.

Shorts: Forever21

Bikini Top: Nothing But H2O

Bikini Bottom: Dorothy Perkins
