I absolutely find it interesting how the Japanese use transparent umbrellas like this:
Some find it weird but I find it cool. Just imagine how you can actually be seen by people while protecting yourself from the rain.

Now in the Philippine Islands, these girls rocked the same type of umbrellas. They are wearing Vaseline Healthy White lotion, which gives them a lot of protection from the sun.
I got one for myself and it smells great just like my other Vaseline body lotions. We only have one sun but Vaseline Healthy White lotion has triple sun protection!
I am also obsessed with grabbing every bit of opportunity to whiten my legs and the container says it also has triple lightening with Vitamin B3. I am now giving it a go and will check back again after I finish the entire thing.
Quote of the day: " Now my skin is always as radiant as my picture!"

Shopping & Food: Eton Centris x Asya
Everyone driving towards Quezon City via EDSA will recognize this. Ever wondered what they are? Flying saucers? No.
Welcome to Eton Centris, a "one-stop work-shop-play-live concept". Repeat 10 times. I spy a playground under the UFO's.
Located at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue, Centris Walk offers a complete dining experience like this:
Deep-fried oysters in lemon sauce
A hybrid of adobo and paksiw
halaan soup (perfect for breastfeeding mommies)
sushi party in my tummy
Fried crispy noodles, I dedicate this to my bro-in-law Vincent who introduced me to this dish.
Turon for dessert
coconut cream x sago x mango x jelly = wow
Enter this door to make the food pictures a reality! This is Asya along Eton Centris Walk which offers authentic Asian cuisine. Not fusion, the restaurant offers only the best dishes in Asia.
Asya's chairs are super fun, look at the different Asian heads!
Other restaurants to try inside the Centris Walk are My Thai Kitchen, Jack's Loft, Italiannis, Pancake House, Tutti Frutti, Pho Hoa, and Zong. Soon to open are Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Choi Garden.
Every Saturday, the Centris Weekend Market operates and offer organic food choices and fresh produce among others. A must-try and see, be there from 6AM - 2PM.
Eton Centris is so easy to get to via the MRT, just alight the train at Quezon Ave. station. Eton Centris is connected to the station which is super convenient for anyone who wants to visit the new "it" place in town.
Fashion: Florals on a Rainy Day
They say, if you are wearing floral clothes, don't go out in the rain or you will multiply x.x
I say, floral makes me look fat! I am tempted to shrink this photo horizontally *lol*
I thought prints will bring some brightness to the gloomy weather. I've been itching to get floral prints, and finally I found a piece to satisfy my fashion craving.
Although prints really make me look fat. Choosing a black printed fabric should lessen the widening effect.
And then new strappy shoes in black once more!
Event: Meet Sam Milby and Matteo Guidicelli
Later today at SM Megamall, 2PM to 6PM. And do not forget your Samsung Champ! Click on the poster for more details :)
Pirate Anya
My niece Anya has the coolest Pirate costume ever! It just keeps on getting every year. It looks like she had a stylist for this outfit.
Can't wait to dress up my little boy soon! :)
Celebrities: Chikka with Dimples Romana and Melissa Ricks
When Dimples Romana is not busy antagonizing Agua Bendita, and Melissa Ricks is not busy defending her love life guess what they get their hands on?
Celebs on webcam and Chikka!
Dimples and Mel told me they like using the new version of Chikka because it lets them I.M. for free. Who knew even celebs like free stuff? They use it to keep in touch with their family and friends. Melissa Ricks says she stays at home during her free time and just loves to sit in front of her laptop - just like most of us.
The two Chikka endorsers also shared how they use the Internet to find out the latest fashion trends. While they're at it, they can easily use Chikka to send SMS from their computers.
The super cute interface of the new Chikka
According to Dennis Mendiola, "Chikka is more relevant than ever. We observe for example that a lot of casual messaging previously exchanged via text has shifted to the social networks. Our latest version is being released, combining the cool convenience of sending an IM message when one is on-line with the personal warmth, immediacy even urgency of receiving a message as text, instantly read on ones phone.”
Chikka Founder and Chief Imagination Officer, Dennis Mendiola and Chikka Chief Executive Officer, Chito Bustamante.
Promoting even higher utility for the community, the new Chikka version features P1.00 replies during off-peak hours when a lot of Global Filipinos are driving message traffic to friends and loved ones mobiles in the Philippines. Unlimited text packages akin to popular UNLI packages being offered by Philippine telcos are also now available all day.
It is also interoperable with Google Talk while Chikka is working on partnering with other instant messaging applications to make it easier for users to keep in touch.
Now Melissa Ricks can text me for free. Chikka!
Beauty: Orly Nails Down French Manicure
I am ignorant when it comes to nail polish or manicure styles but I stick to the classic French tip whenever there's a need to look extra glam. Whether it be a first date, wedding, or client meetings I think the classic French Tip nails it down for me.
Father of the French Tip, Jeff Pink
So let me thank the inventor of the French Tip, Jeff Pink who developed this manicure style during the 70's. He is also the founder of the famous nail polish brand Orly. I had my first dibs on Orly inside Nail-a-holics in SM Mall of Asia and they were the yummiest nail colors I've ever seen.
Yet, like most girls, I can't rely on my nail styling skills and always have to have someone do it for me. Then I saw this:
Orly French Manicure Kit
And it's a fact, Orly nail polish is toxic-free and is safe to use even by pregnant women. Too bad I didn't know about Orly back then! So let's just pick which celeb endorsed Orly the best?
Ashley Judd
Hilary Duff
Kristin Davis
Jessica Alba
Shopping: What's in Eton Cyberpod?
I know you were just as curious as me! Eton Cyberpod's building suddenly rose across Robinson's Galleria. People were asking me if it's a mall or an office building. It's a Cyberpod!
Now what do we see inside a cyberpod that was launched to the Earth by Lucio Tan?
aliens from the future
Ironman and War Machine's offspring
even Michael Jackson!
What's even more unusual is this:
A cd-r king store without people lining up like ants over gadgets!
You can't imagine how elated and amused I was when I entered this shop inside Eton Cyberpod Corinthian. I could actually browse cd-r king's super affordable but cool gadgets. Wasteland of techies indeed.
V-Store
Eton Cyberpod is just the coolest haven for geeks and a blogger like me. Soon, they'll have every corner of the E-Life mall which spans the ground floors of a total of four buildings, wifi ready. The upper floors are where people form the BPO industry hold their office.
Among the 27 tenants of E-life who opened their doors to the excited stream of consumers were Villman Computers, Compex International, E2 GameZone, Datablitz, Zoom Out, TCA, Net Gear, CDR King, National Book Store, Jollibee, Mercury Drug, LBC Express, Bargo Restaurant and Bar, KFC, Mang Inasal and the Philippine National Bank. More stores are scheduled to open within the next two weeks.
Fighting aliens at Eton Cyberpod
Just last Saturday, they wrapped up The Ultimate Championship Cosplay which is the last leg of the four-week cosplay convention, Cosplay Genre Wars.
Eton Cyberpod Corinthian is a project of Eton Properties Philippines, Inc., the global real estate brand of the Lucio Tan Group of companies. It is strategically situated at the corner of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue, next to Corinthian Gardens and just across Robinsons Galleria.
