After doing more than a couple of shopping episodes in Makati in the last couple of months, I am finally resolved to the fact that there is no way I can go right back to my size S, let alone XS. My tiny 5 feet frame has always switched from xs to s and back again for as long as I can remember until the first quarter of 2009. This is evidenced by the fact that I cannot anymore squeeze into my normal clothes comfortably anymore.

Although I knew the music “pearly shells” since I was a toddler (was probably even coaxed to dance along to it more than a couple of times), it wasn’t until Jewelmer got us to sit down on a Pearl Talk 101 event last June 25, 2010 at the Jewelmer Showroom in Eastwood mall that I truly appreciated and was totally impressed by this lone precious stone that is produced inside a living organism- the mollusk.
Basics things to know about pearls:
• Pearls are organic gems – which means they come from a living organism.
• Pears are composed of nacre. This is a natural substance produced by mollusks that also coat the inside of the animals shell.
• Mother of pearl
• Nacre is made up mostly of calcium carbonate crystallized in the form of the mineral aragonite.

The launch of Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2010 last Wednesday, May 26, 2010 was a success! Thanks to Sunsilk Co-Creations who partnered with four pairs of designers. Each look was inspired by the different Sunslik Co-Creations variants, namely: Smooth and Manageable (Arnold Galang and John Paras), Strong and Long (Joel Escober and Raoul Ramirez), Damage Repair (Chris Diaz and Veejay Floresca) and Straight and Sexy (Jerome Salaya Ang and Lyle Ibanez).
Here are a few of my favorite shots:

As the author of Kikay Corner, I am pretty fascinated myself when I get to meet personalities that I never thought I’d ever get to see, let alone have a chit chat with. It is a privilege and how I love when I realize that they are just a normal human beings despite the fact that they are in constant scrutiny from people of all walks of life.

When I was doing some lingerie shopping last week for a friend, it occurred to me that it has been a while since I last bought myself a discount lingerie. Yes, I always go for the discounted stuff. I am a cheapskate like that. If I would at all buy anything that’s really good, I’d rather get them at a discounted rate. That way I stretch every centavo. That means more value for my hard earned money. Besides I’m saving up for something really major.

FitFlop said it themselves, Pietra is their prettiest sandals so far and this is what Kikay Corner got herself early this month! I am super loving its sleek metallic micro-fiber lined upper embellished with three resin jewel stones down the toe line. I have considered buying a pair last year, but the best they’ve got was the Rockstar model, which did not exactly take my fancy.
Kikay Corner witnessed the launch of Ipanema’s latest Giselle Bundchen collection, “Colorful Sea” at White Space in Makati last March 17, 2010. This 2010 “Colorful Sea” collection also supports environmental awareness and this collection focuses particularly on the preservation of Brazil’s turtle population as well as the welfare of our own local marine life.
When I received my statement bill from Citibank last week, I was thrilled to find this inserted leaflet which says we get to preview the Crocs Mega Sale a day before it opens to the public. If it wasn’t for this preview, there was no way I was to bother going to a sure jampacked sale event. Imagine my surprise when we got there at 9 A.M. -an hour earlier, to find so many people lined up. It took 30 minutes for us to be able to get in from the moment the door opened at 10 A.M.
I took a quick shot of the people in the cashier area. It was too crowded where the rows of Crocs are. I only got to take a few shots using my mobile and they aren’t pretty. Read the rest of this entry »
