Presidentiable #2: MANNY VILLAR...Akala Mo!

Manny Villar, after his leave from the Senate President position, has been hounded of the C5 incident. But as all Filipinos do, we easily forget what happens and focus on the present instead!Villar got something right though, a great PR manager.He uses the "I-understand-you but we're the same" approach instead of Roxas' messiah stance. Very effective though because Villar has been gaining more nods in the polls. I personally like the ad, this is a youth friendlier take on his character, as opposed to what he released before when he recounted his...

My first online order from YesAsia

I made my first ever online buy over at YesAsia last weekend, because I have been lusting over 2ne1's mini-album. Everyone knows that this will never be available in the Philippines, plus I do not know anyone who lives in Korea, so I went for it!Here is proof of my order! I'm not loaded with money so I just chose Standard Shipping so as not to burden my pocket so much. It's expected to ship out on Aug. 4, 2009 and will be arriving around 6-14 days...

My Top Facial Care Needs

I am a firm believer in word-of-mouth opinions about beauty products, so right now I want to contribute to this trend by sharing what I always put on my face. Yes, these have been tested by my own oily-faced self, therefore the list leans towards those who have the same skin as I do.The products here are actually drugstore brands, since I'm a really cheap person when it comes to everyday use things.1) Pond's Cold CreamMy "cure-all". I swear I have...

Rip those Dante De Guzman posters NOW!!!

As a long-time resident of Quezon City (and part-time Makati), I have been constantly exposed to the various ways a politician uses to put his name out there to the voting public.Please don't get me started on the bigger Barangay blue and orange signs that litter the corners of the roads. The person's name is actually bigger than the Barangay they are posting. Not only that, but sometimes its a totally unknown person who has his name up there. Who...

John Lloyd: The Leading Man for the Leading Watch

John Lloyd Cruz (the only actor deserving of my undying love) has been launched as the newest endorser for Swatch. As the other blogs choose to scrutinize on the unfortunate outfit he chose to wear for the event (i.e. orange pants with even more orange shoes), I, as his true lover, will focus my attention to this video about the leading man and the leading wat...

Remembering July 21, 1969: Gloria Diaz Shines Brighter than the Man on the Moon

In July 21, 1969, the world celebrated as images of the first man on the moon were broadcasted everywhere. Most were glued to their television sets, eagerly watching a new dawn for mankind.Filipinos, however, were celebrating something else aside from this. Gloria Diaz, at 18, won the Philippines' first ever Miss Universe crown specifically after answering the question of "If the man on the moon should come down to Earth and visit your hometown,...

Keeping the Park Clean: Park Jun's Beauty Lab

Talk about getting a hair-cut based on impulse alone! I would have to admit that I wasn't scheduled for my bi-monthly trim, nor did I even need it. But after hearing so many things about Park Jun's Beauty Lab, I just had to rush myself over and give it a try. I blame it entirely on the weather! The rain was depressing and I needed a little perk me-up.As soon as you enter the salon, you are greeted by their warm and friendly Filipino staff who understand...

Presidentiable #1: MAR ROXAS..Drama Revisited.

As election-season draws near, Pinay Glamourista aims to join in the public service bandwagon in analyzing our presidentiables' images, which plays an enormous part in their campaigning. These entries swear to be bias-free (since I definitely don't have anyone high on my list right now) and will strive to sweat out all the things the presidentiables must strive to work on.First on our list is the ever-gregarious Mar Roxas, who was known from his...

Fit 'n Right Your Way to Spill Syrup on Your Clothes

So these Del Monte Fit 'n Right Fruit Snacks encourage you to snack healthy. Me, an avid snacker, just had to see if these are the right fit for me. A trip to the supermarket was what got me into buying one of these, specifically the Mixed Fruits variant. It comes in this small container which already has a small spork inside (something about sporks irk me for some reason). That means that the fruit snack is giving you an impression that it's suppose...

Yellow will never be the same yellow without Cory Aquino

 If people all over the world were to think of the Philippines, they oftentimes connote this country to be one overridden with poverty, corruption, and hunger. Oftentimes they may be right in their judgment, as the usual statistics would show, our country isn't exactly riding high on being well-ff right now.But as far as Philippine leaders go, there are just a few who can be said to have impressed such a mark upon every Filipino, especially...

Vitamin E update

So it has been exactly 2 weeks since I started drinking Vitamin E. Any results?Yes, I actually received 2 "blooming" comments from people I hardly know. Also, I have not been as prone to breaking out as I usually do when the monthly period kicks in. My skin has gotten whiter, which means I am getting back to my original skin color. Don't get me wrong because this is not a whitening product.Will be giving another update after a month...
