PANICKY

I barely have a week left in Manila and I'm going crazy over work + last minute to-dos! Got a couple of blog prizes/giveaways being sent out this week so I do apologise to readers who haven't received their packages- please know that I haven't forgotten! 

I leave on Sunday and I just wanted to capture the energetic view from my window each night. I will miss the never-ending work hours and having the remaining last push energy to drag myself to all the parties and events. BGC is indeed a great and safe place to live in- I could walk at 4 to 5 AM feeling safe with guards greeting me good morning. Feels like the 2.5 years living here just breezed right through. Seven years living in Manila's been both fun and tormenting and I'm definitely ready for the next challenge and city. 

Tons of photos coming up on this blog. Hope everyone's safe in this storm!

Entrance is Php 100, but you get Php 50 off if you bring some school supplies for the KIDS FOUNDATION...

I will be selling some brand new items, as well as pre-loved goodies from my closet. I'm sharing a booth with none other than Kryz Uy of Thirstythought! Riz and I are performing during this event, too!

The Bloggers United is a team dedicated to delivering breakthroughs in the metro’s blogging community. We are in an effort to pool bloggers and really turn it into a “community”.

We recognize the bloggers’ massive power to inspire, and influence the public on how they think, behave and spend. But more than that, we want to use that power in order to make an action in spreading social awareness and issues to our fellowmen.

Bloggers United team is founded by:

Melai Entuna - http://styleandsoul.blogspot.com (Style and Soul)

Ana Gonzales - http://anagonsblog.blogspt.com (The Fashionista Commuter)

Aisa Ipac - http://ipaxme.blogspot.com (Drowning Equilibriums)

The team brings you the 1st-ever Bloggers Bazaar featuring Manila's top and most influential fashion bloggers selling their personal closet items and selected pieces from their respective brands. Our aim is to create a venue where inspiring bloggers and their readers can personally come together and interact with each other. It will also serve as a networking site as we invite bloggers and readers from different categories and a couple of friends from the press and media.

The most important part of this event is that, it is a tie-up project with KIDS FOUNDATION and certain sponsorship proceeds will be donated to charity.

Sarah Gaugler- I remember the first time I saw her was at Capone's- I didn't know she was a musician, but her heart tattoo really made me remember her. She's a tattoo artist.

My giveaways for Tumblr Tuesday... Watch out for that soon!

USHER LIVE IN MANILA!

Opening act- South Border and Nina (not pictured)

The lighting was just too awesome.

The dancers' bodies were just amazing! Sick moves, too!

I thought I was never really an Usher fan, but turns out I knew the lyrics to almost all of his songs. This makes me feel old. At first I thought Paulo loved him more than I did- he kept watching videos of his concerts on YouTube (mostly cos of his dance routines) plus some other covers of his songs... Cos of that, he's been forcing Riz and I to do a cover of "OMG". But there's just too many up on YT. Riz and I are still thinking about it. It's been a while since we've done a mainstream R&B song.

It rained a bit during the event, but thankfully it didn't continue to become a heavy downpour. I sorta knew it was gonna drizzle a bit- so I ditched the makeup and opted to just do my brows and curl my lashes. But I was surprised to see some girls toting their designer bags to the concert, and some even wore killer heels. They were prolly heading straight to the afterparty? LOL. We decided not to go since we were beat by the end of the night. Had too much to do that day...

Overall the concert wasn't as wild as the others I've been to, but it was still awesome!!! Even if the stage wasn't so massive, the great vocals + siiiick dance routines made up for the pricey tickets.

Fun night-outs with friends! I know I may have to lessen my partying in the near future, so I'm making it a point to have fun and see a lot of people before the term gets too intense!

But ooooh I'm so excited for this weekend! Gonna be watching Usher's concert! Afterparty and a friend's party right after! :D
