A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. ~Roald Dahl Just a quick thought for [...]
Are you the type who uses digital planners instead of the old fashioned Pen and Paper? I tried to attempt using digital planners since I have my phone with me ALWAYS! But I’m old fashioned and I stick with pen and paper. How about you? Let me know what you prefer and why… If you [...]
Failing to plan is planning to fail. I have always been a believer of being prepared when it comes to school, work, my daily activities, my own health and even with relationships. I have prepared my mind to stay in a very conservative state of mind. I believe that I don’t have the power to [...]

With this, they also launched a shopping website exclusive for BPI Card holders. Our life has transformed and most of us have a digital life. We book tickets and hotels online, shop online, pay [...]
Every since I bought my MacBook Pro as a gift for myself on Valentines, my life has changed – in better ways and frustrating ways. Until now I am not that used to using it as compared to Windows platform which I have been using my entire life. I must say though, it hasn’t failed [...]
Pride ruins relationships. I don’t know why people cling to this. Most of the time, when I argue with someone, I am the first one to swallow my pride. I know better now than before and I know that it’s just pointless to keep it there. I mean pride in a certain amount is ok, [...]
A fine head of hair adds beauty to a good face, and terror to an ugly one. ~Lycurgus Just borrowed this quote from Lycurgus – an ancient name, a law-giver in Sparta. Even in the old times, they recognize that hair is a big part of your appearance. Hair influences our over-all look. It could [...]
Sometimes I think I’m too friendly that I can’t say “no”. Sometimes, I underestimate my value. I thought I was being humble. But it’s not. What is humility? Humility is freedom from pride and arrogance. It’s a modest estimate of one’s own worth. But clearly, I have undervalued my own worth. It only [...]
Banks have been thinking of better, safer and smarter ways to accommodate the needs of your normal daily spending activities. As a full-time blogger, I need to keep on satisfying my shopping, food tripping and travel needs Else, what am I going to blog about? I’m pretty sure all of you are spenders as well [...]
I’ve been taking creative writing class with Aileen Santos at the Modern Academy at Burgos Circle, The Fort I always love writing – hence I started blogging. And even I was a kid, I always kept a journal or a diary. And I had a notebook full of made-up stories. I don’t know where it [...]
Sleepless nights, uncertainty, lack of purpose, thinking too much about the future… And you don’t even know what’s wrong! Oh yes, the much dreaded quarter-life crisis. I’ve been ranting about it on my blog since December just to let it out of my system and I’ve been depressed and it was dissappointing for me how [...]
*can you see the bruise on my right leg >.< other After Pole class, I rushed to watch X-men First Class with Vince on the AOC premiere! All I can say is, you have to watch it! The movie is dubbed by reviewers and critics as the best Marvel ever made so far! I won’t [...]
Novelty shirts are a bona fide mainstay in the “light-hearted options for fewer than 20 bucks” category of gifts. But the overarching category of “novelty, or “cool” (interchangeable) is not itself always a safe bet when choosing the right fit. They come in all sorts of varieties with all sorts of pop culture references (the [...]
Bacolod was more of like a trip down to memory lane. I haven’t seen this room of mine for 3 years probably and I kind of missed it. I found many things that brought back memories like my crown for Ms. JPIA (Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants – yes, I joined a beauty pageant lol) [...]
I haven’t been home for a while therefore we cut of our internet connection so I have no internet at home. Sorry if I can’t update Flaircandy for this week, but I am doing some job here teehee Anyway, just letting you guys know. Will be back soon! Taken at Bascon Cafe near my college [...]
I must say, I am so reluctant to admit that at my 25 years of being here in the Philippines, I haven’t been to one of the most beautiful places in my home country – Palawan. I have heard the many good things people say about this place but sadly, some sad events happened too [...]
Earlier in one of my blog posts I mentioned how I miss reading again. Earlier this year, I also felt the quarter life crisis kicking in and I felt so depressed and confused but at the same time overwhelmed with the things that I need to do and the tasks that I needed to accomplish. [...]
“I spent more hours than I can count a quiet witness to the highly mannered, manifold expressions of life that grace our planet. It is something so bright, loud, weird, and delicate as to stupefy the senses.” A quote shared by an old acquaintance describing how my profile pictures scream the quote’s message. Sometimes, people [...]
I just broke down into tears again. I don’t even know why I was crying. Someone once told me that if you have a problem and you want to take the burden off your shoulders, you tell your story to as much people as possible. Then at a certain time, you will just realize that [...]
Today is a very wonderful day! A very touching incident just made my day and it reminded me of why I continue to share my experiences on this blog I get emails here and there from readers asking further questions about my blog posts on my travels, food blogs, fashion and beauty thing-a-majigs and many [...]
I usually don’t like walking around the city during Valentines Day because it’s always traffic and everyone’s rushing to buy and deliver gifts. I was sick then (and I still am) so I decided to just stay home. It’s a good thing I didn’t have any shoots, nor events scheduled for me. But, for my [...]
Hey guys, I know there are not a lot of Laundromats in The Fort. My friend just opened one and do check it out and have your laundry done here if you live in The Fort. Or, for those who work in the Fort, you can have your laundry done here too Bounce Laundry is [...]
I have wanted many things, and started many things – but I don’t finish it. This year, my resolution is to be more disciplined and finish what I started. I think this whole project 365 will help me own the word “Discipline”. 2010 did great things for me. I feared somehow that I won’t be [...]
Day 15 of Project 365 I’m a licensed Certified Public Accountant and here’s my story. College? What to take? I went to College not knowing what course to take. I just went to school anyway and picked a course that was practical. I decided to take “BS Management.” I underwent enrollment process and had a [...]
It was the holidays when I received this gift from Sleepasil. Perfect timing because during those stressful and hectic times, I really had trouble sleeping. Like even if I feel really sleepy, I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t know why. There were days where I don’t sleep at all because I just lie in my [...]
Our lifestyles have changed over time. Most of us can’t stand doing nothing at one certain time. We tinker on our iPads, cellphones and laptops when we’re idle and waiting. I hate lines in the bank. Some banks don’t allow the use of cellphone, so I wait in line for 15 minutes doing absolutely nothing. [...]
Eat Pray Love is an inspirational drama based on a best seller book by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is all about the author‘s search for finding her own self again and documented it on this lovely book. I haven’t read the book but I just watched the movie. Julia Roberts plays her character in the movie. [...]
I really don’t follow this Disney girl a lot. Not until I heard on TV that she admitted herself to rehab not because of drugs but physical and emotional issues. Demi Lovato Twitter Photos I was like “She’s doing fine. Everyone thinks she’s doing fine, but she’s struggling with something.” I admired her for being [...]
I’m not sure if you have noticed, but for a just a while (just lately), my life seemed to be on “pause”. Sometimes, when you’re overwhelmed with all the things that are happening around you, you get lost and confused. Then you stop and think. Some might call this “quarter-life crisis” and that is exactly [...]
This is a test blog post. I am loving android so far. Test photo. I also wanted to try the geo-tagging feature.
I know I would need to explain the title. I couldn’t think of any title to this blog post so before writing, I decided to brush my teeth and wash up first before blogging and going to sleep. In the bathroom, I saw a HUGE dragonfly I know I’m a scaredy cat and I [...]
I was walking around the residential streets of Hong Kong last Thursday late at night. It’s usually my thing. I love walking around a new place, be curious, observe people and the streets and try to submerge myself into their culture. I just appreciate the cool breeze in Hong Kong around winter time. Our hotel [...]
It’s the time of the year when every journal junkie is in search for the best planner they could ever have for the new year. Choosing the right planner for you is crucial. This, by itself motivates you to write more and to look at your progress more often. It’s based on experience, if the [...]
Sometimes, I just randomly check my feedjit stats just to see where the people that land on my blog come from. I was surprised at what I saw… Someone was searching for the word “hannah” online and it landed on my site. Then I checked Google Canada and found out that when you [...]
I wish you never smoked. You never would have had lung cancer and you would still be here with me now. I never would have had weak lungs Since I was a kid, my lungs have always been my problem. I’m writing this letter now because I can’t sleep at 3am – coughing [...]
In my earlier posts, I mentioned that I’m iffy about celebrating my birthday lately because I feel that I am getting old! I just turned a quarter of a hundred and I am now transitioning into a next stage in my life! Change is always scary and uncertain but quite refreshing at times. I have [...]
One of the biggest, most obvious physical change in my body when I was transitioning from being a teeny bopper to a lady is my chest. It changed my life! On fifth grade, I had my first sign of transition – menstruation! I think I was the first among my classmates that had one and [...]
Self-pity is a way of paying attention to oneself, albeit negatively; it is a means self-soothing or self-nurturing. – Just got that description out of Wikipedia. Apparently, it’s attempting to gain something out of yourself, then you fail. It’s like you helped yourself a lot of times to get someone’s attention, to get a job [...]
I had this random thought while making another blog post earlier. It’s all about the evil word Insecurity. To me, a girl gets insecure the moment she starts to feel that she’s no longer special. It’s all subjective though, it’s all about her feelings. To the guy, she might still be his beloved princess with [...]
On a plane from KL to Manila… I was writing an article for my blog flaircandy.com and I was looking for a word that would describe my brain being drained of anything intellectual because of not sleeping straight since I left the Philippines. The word “Zonked” just came to my mind. It sounded right and [...]
I do what I do best… Cam-whore! Warning: Do not cam-whore when driving! Only cam-whore on the car when 1. you’re on the passenger seat 2. the driver is not disturbed by your cam-whore activity 3. or when the car stops No Photoshop (coz I dunno how to ~_~), only make-up but not too much
My Dream Board We were tasked to cut out images from magazines and post them on our dream board. It’s called the “I Believe” board. It must have our perfect things, our dreams and anything that reminds us of ourselves and what we want to accomplish. I can explain why Marc Nelson is there on [...]
If you look at my archive, you will see that I have tons of posts about Singapore. There are many reasons why I love dropping by the country often. One, they host a great Formula 1 race, two – the food is just great, three – it’s so safe traveling there alone, four – you’ll [...]
I had to go to the Hospital for my general check-up today. As usual, urine and blood tests. I also wanted to check my uric acid ‘coz my bones and joints feel weird so I had to fast after 12 midnight. I didn’t know that you can’t drink even water so the nurse said I [...]
I was sitting at the press conference of Enervon with Ramon Bautista and Sam YG and I couldn’t be entertained enough! Ramon Bautista is one of the ambassadors of Enervon and I think that he fits into the role perfectly for Enervon’s anti – “Hapontukin” campaign! I couldn’t think of anyone who could do a [...]
ay-ya-yai… That’s a bold statement up there… but yep, I think that I am super techie even for my own good that what triggers my ESP (if I have one) is Technology. Last year, I wrote one dedicated blog post about how I think I had ESP. You can read about it here if you [...]
Last Thursday, I felt like I was dying. Facts: 1. Intolerable headache 2. Bothered eyes (might be cause of headache) 3. Nausea 4. Vomiting like no other. Vomiting even if nothing comes out… 5. A little movement and I get dizzy… then I vomit again. Culprit: New contact lenses… I haven’t worn contact [...]
Yassi Pressman is one of the newly declared ambassadors of the PLDT myDSL Watchpad. Why is she a favorite? She reminds me so much of me. She’s a dancer too and while I stopped dancing, she still pursues it now ^_^ Stay young and fun y’alls xoxo, FlairCandy
A couple of days after the Vaseline Road Trip and I still have a hangover. I’m still editing pictures, reviewing videos and tagging photos on Facebook. The feeling of being on the trip is still there and the overwhelming hype the pictures captured will be forever sealed in our hearts. I had many realizations while [...]
Thanks to Regie who mailed me on Facebook about this FlairCandy poser! Here’s a screen shot of the poser’s page: Obviously, she/he/it used my picture. It is a fake account. I am not really mad or whatever, I’m just *shocked* O_o <– this shocked Anyway, so far, this faker is harmless… And she [...]

Boo-hoo… Like I said, I was disqualified from being one of the chosen 10 to be the next PLDT myDSL Watchpad crew due to age. I’m too young to join! I’m only fifteen years old! I should join again next year! Anyway, at least I’m happy I got to meet the new 10 Emerging Finalists [...]
I am a total idiot! I was excited by the thought of blogging while on the bus and uploading the pictures I took in the plane. I just realized I left my connector on my big bag (which is inside the bottom compartment of the bus). So here I am – ranting T_T Anyway, [...]

PLDT is searching for their next PLDT Watchpad crew. Get famous and and submit your audition videos here now! You could also get a chance to [...]
Wherever I go, I always stumble and fall. In whatever I do, I have super duper *minor* accidents. I believe in Guardian Angels. For if not, I think I would have died because of my clumsiness… Even if I just walk barefoot, I’d still slip-trip-and-fall… Sometimes I just don’t know what to do with myself [...]
A lot of bloggers attended this event and it’s Tech Time for Gadget Candy! It’s the first time that Kristel and I are together on a blog event. I introduced her to all of the bloggers and the other bloggers thought we were sisters. I told her before that she has some bit of similarity [...]
Feb 27, 2009Buenissimo at Eastwood Mall at 5 PM Pia Magalona and Bam Aquino talks about Financial Literacy – Sun Life Financial’s advocacy helping out to educate Filipinos on ways to make their money work for them and having it to beat inflation. Also, there will be nice freebies for the guests. Take the IT’S [...]
There are times when you wake up and you feel relieved that you are living in the *real* world. I seldom have nightmares… and usually, it doesn’t involve ghosts and monsters… My nightmares involve some of my biggest fears, The one that can hurt me most… My nightmares play with my emotions… And so, [...]
As much as I wanted to publish one blog post per day, I wasn’t able to. Now, I have a blog clog. Anton of ourawesomeplanet.com advised me to publish events and blog post as it happens as much as possible because a lot of things happen in a day. Next thing you know, you’re blog [...]
Today, I went home from a friend’s place and I was SUPER HUNGRY I could eat a hippopotamus!!! My tummy is such an acidic b*tch that I chew on Tums more than I should (ok I’m kidding, at least I think I just take enough). Therefore, sometimes I really have to eat to stop it [...]
I came across this article online on Ways to save money. It’s a good read actually and I am super guilty for violating the 7 ways on how an individual can save money. I am not a house buddy and lately I have been abusing my credit card (due to my many travels). If you know me, you’ll agree that I love my car and I love driving around! Blah, this is another savings killer as I often take this out just to drive around and discover new places. It’s all good but for the new year, I think I’m cutting down on this.
