Rainy days get me down!

And just like that, summer dream is over. Hello rainy days and hello month of August.

For some reason, I feel better and enjoy my life more when it’s raining just enough to make me cover up with my favorite white crisp blanket. I can relax at night nor day time. I can grab more sleep with what my body need.

With the rainy season, part of me loves it. It’s all about cocooning but I also get nervous during heavy rains falls and strong winds.

I’m worried with the flooding, brownout and most especially my family back home. My home town is always hit by the storm. 

For now, I'm happily embracing the rainy season it brings with some of my favorite things to do:)




Body Oil


I switch body moisturizer creams to body oil. I love using Neutrogena body oil. It’s so sheer that it vanishes into shower damp skin leaving it soft and silky. It glides easily to the skin. The formula is so light and sheer.

Face moisturizer

I been loyal to this brand. From my crazy college days, until now I’m still using it. Especially now that I’m not getting younger and yes my numbers are counting, a situation I’m afraid off. I have to religiously use moisturizer before I hit the sack. I guess everyone knows how it works and the magic it can do.

Face Mask

I do this once a week during my rest day.  What I love about this product is that it offers a wide range of skin care benefits in one easy application. It clarifies, moisturize, cleanse or lighten the skin.

It comes in different variety depending on your skin type and skin issues.  You can check Watson’s it’s always on sale and often its buy one take one.Good deal:)

Hair Mask

After my one week Palawan escapade which I haven’t share all the stories here in my blog. Sorry:) the memories were awesome. It was a great breather from the hassle and bustle of city life but the prize I paid: dry hair!

My hair has been a big issue or should I say an existing problem since birth. Other people with curly hair struggle with too much volume and I’m having the opposite problem. Fine curly hair is one of the most challenging hair types to manage. Caring for this type of hair is so delicate to balance. Too much product or products that are too sticky or heavy can weight it down so most of the time I tie my hair.

So when it comes to my hair the only treatment I do is a hair mask. A do it to myself. I do this every once a month. If I’m not lazy. Hahaha.


A cup of Joe + blanket and a book.

Massive rains can take out electricity and internet connections and you will be left with only your books and magazines for entertainment. So time to rekindle with your dusty books.

I love cold, rainy weather.

  1. I like sleeping for aboit 18 hours straight. And then wake up to eat something and then sleep again for six hours. Hahahaha!

    Yours is perhaps the most glamorous cocooning I've ever seen. And hey, you're perhaps one of the few people I know who use the cocooning. Impressive! Hehehe!

  5. I love to eat and drink hot choco on the rainy season, lol! When the weather gets cooler here, I use a thicker body lotion to moisturize my skin more and/or I spray argan oil after bathing. :)

  8. Hi Sunny!

    It actually rains most of the year where I live and sadly, I don't like it too much. But I also like just staying inside and keeping warm! Sometimes I feel like a movie or video games and other times I prefer more relaxing activities like doing nothing or writing in my journal (yes, I am serious about doing nothing lol).

  11. Same here! I love rainy days but not so much rain kasi takot din ako sa floods. =)

    Have you tried argan oil? It's the best! I buy the brand Lay Bare sells. It's good na as a moisturizer and body oil. Best thing din is it's absorbed by the skin so fast and it's not greasy. =)

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C

Solo Travel: Why it's best while you're single?

In the decontextualized words of the Biebs “baby, you should go and love yourself” and nothing says loving yourself like going on a solo trip. With my total control and putting down all my fears behind and the value of the phrase “Go for it” I headed off on my first solo trip on the day of my birthday. I could tell you I decided to go away alone, because I wanted an adventure, I was about to burn out and needed a break and why Sagada? Not that I’m bruised ego or broken hearted or wanted to sing where do broken heart goes at the top of my lungs then shout out all my I’ll feelings at the Kiltepan peek. I know that it’s nice to have someone to cuddle with in Sagada’s cold temperature, one degree colder than Baguio, a walk town which is perfect for me ( love.. leisurely walk) . A close weather encounter to my dream destination. All I wanted is to be with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I want to commune with nature and be with myself again. #soulsearc
