Woman’s bestfriend?
They say that hair is the crowning glory of us ladies. Well if that’s the case then that means my best friend should not be diamonds. It should be the ceramic hair straightener. I remember back in my college days that every salon has it. Everyone grows there hair long enough to reach their backs so they can use it on their. In many local pageants, mastery of holding the iron is a must. Everyone considers the ceramic hair straightener as a holy weapon in bagging the title.
In loved watching beauty pageants, in fact I have joined several of them myself when I was a little girl. I didn’t always win though. Anyway I think pageants are fun but I’d rather just watch them now than join it myself.
My brother once told me about a pageant contestant that won as a runner up in their school pageant. I’ll tell you what talent she used to charm the crowd. She ate a live chicken. Yes you got it. She was an Amazon lady in the talent portion. Everyone was so surprise when she stepped on the stage and delivers the dialogs. It’s quite a talent to bag the title. Never the less, it’s the only unique talent they have seen and awarded her best talent.
Summer Fun!
Summer in our part of the world is fast approaching! And what better way to have something to look forward to than
planning your wardrobe for frequently going out to enjoy the summer sun? It’s part of the fun of being a girl. Most boys (or men) couldn’t care less about how they look unless they are metro-sexual , but for us girls it’s a different thing. That’s why the perfect summer get-ups must be planned as early as now. Knowing the trends will help a lot, and the trends says it’s going to be hot pants, boy shorts and uber long socks.
Bohemian is also back in vogue, so you better start digging up those paisleys and chic accessories for your summer dress. Kitten heels seem to be making a come back, but with fun makeovers as seen in fashion shows. Summer equals the beach for many people, so planning our swimsuit is a must, as well. Monokinis are all the rage right now, but not everyone has the guts to wear them. And certainly not everyone has the body for a monokini. There’s still the one-shouldered bikinis, though. Not too flashy but is chic and trendy just the same. So plan that summer escapade now with family and friends. Your fab outfits are raring to go!
Planning our home interior design
In a few months we will be in our new home. I cannot wait to start designing the interiors of our house. I plan to use native materials as much as possible like woven straw mats (banig) and batik asian fabric, bamboo and lots of rattan and furniture. I might consider some asian contemporary furniture too for my office but I haven’t really decided yet. I already have lots of ideas and I am really looking forward to designing our home myself.
Night Out With The Girls
I have this group of ladies in mind (yes, the Marce club) that I want to go out with even just for a night. I know this is not possible right now, as the members live in different parts of the world (me in Singapore, Seiko in Japan, Gene in Thailand, Kikamz in Germany, Liz in the US, and six of the other girls are in the Philippines. I will soon be moving to the Philippines, so that makes seven of us there. I can make do with just the seven of us, but I know that it will be so much more exciting to see them all in the flesh at least once.
I wonder what we will talk about then. Our blogs, most probably. Haha. Our families. Our mutual love of food. Our 
secrets that we only talk about over instant messenger. Maybe share fashion tips, even evening fashion tips for such nights out as the one I have in mind. Just thinking about it make me dreamy with anticipation. I have never found such a lovely bunch of ladies as the Marce club, and needless to say that I am looking forward to the day (or night) that we’ll all get together and just hang out.
Can you stomach this?
Last weekend was a busy one for us. My mom and my brother’s friend are leaving on Monday so we showed them around Singapore and they were lucky to be here in time for the Thaipusam Festival. I knew they would enjoy witnessing this event.
