If you're wondering where I am - I'm still alive and kicking by the way! - I just want you to know that I've officially moved and started blogging over at JoyfulMess.com. Actually, I've started blogging in my new home since the first day of July!
I truly appreciate you accompanying me in my blogging journey, and I hope you'll still give me the honour of your company in my new home. Please head over to the URL above and share stories with me!
I have personally been looking for the perfect dress that is body hugging but at the same time formal and can be worn casually. I have seen a lot of styles with the two piece look and have been eyeing this kind for months now. A two piece set can be tricky to wear and find especially if you want something that's formal enough to put on during date nights and drinks with friends.
Finally, I stumbled upon this DRESS online that fits just right with the style and look that I was looking for.
This dress is not a two piece set but it gives the illusion that it is. It is actually a dress with a mesh cut-out detail on the waist which also gives the body more figure and shape. It is made of cotton, perfect for casual evenings because it's so comfortable and easy to wear. I love that it is also very versatile since it comes in the colors Black and Grey which are very basic and neutral colors that can be paired with any item that's already available in your closet. It is currently available in the sizes S M L.
Not only is this dress very useful because of its versatility, it's also very very affordable priced at PHP513 (86% Off) which originally was PHP3703. You get to save as much as PHP3190! That's a really awesome deal considering that you get to own something that you can wear a couple dozen times.
Shipment and payment are also made easy! Pay through a 100% guaranteed safe method which is PayPal. Delivery is done by Express Shipping that assures the arrival of the item within just a matter of 3-5 days!

A very flattering DRESS for you beautiful plus size women! This dress is perfect to wear on special occasions like a cocktail party or even a vintage themed event. I consider it very versatile because, when paired with the right accessories, it can go from formal and sophisticated to retro and chic. A pair of glam high heels would go a long way with this number especially when matched with a pair of gloves and a beautiful clutch. All set for that themed party!
The neckline is in that halter style which makes this dress even more flattering because it gently accentuates those lovely shoulders plus the lace panelling on top. The flow of the bottom half of the dress is also a sight to look at with the layering going on. The little dainty fabric rose with the tie in the middle also adds a very subtle touch of sweetness to this sophisticated dress. It is a Black dress that is also currently available in the colors Red and Blue with sizes ranging from L XL 2XL 3XL.
It’s a worthy wear and also a very worthy purchase because it is currently on sale at PHP1017 (79% Off) which originally was PHP4800! You actually get to save PHP3784. I consider this a very good deal because it can be worn on different many occasions to come!
Light on the pocket and beautiful on the wear, it should also be easy on the shipping and payment. Transactions are done through PayPal which is 100% guaranteed safe.

"Imagine if we can be partners with the Lord Jesus in transforming lives and communities? Astig di ba? Still think you're ordinary? Think again."
This is the premise of Mighty Rasing's book, May Powers ka to be #SUPEREPIC. Based on the book, Mighty is part of the Philippine stay of Young People's Ministries, the goal youth ministry affect of the United Methodist Church.
Youth.
The youth, energetic young people that they are, have the potential to change the world for the better. They have the skills, the grit, and the time and energy. However, it is not uncommon to see potentials untapped because of many reasons: lack of support, lack of ambition and determination, or the lack of awareness of this potential.
Mighty's book aims to change this and empower today's youth to follow Christ and become superheroes who can save the day - because they can! We can!
#SUPEREPIC talks about:
- Taking initiative and responsibility
- The importance of training
- Understanding limits
- Planning
- Teamwork
- The proper way to resolve conflicts
- And avoiding getting tempted by power, sex, and money
What makes #SUPEREPIC different?
- Using a comfortable mix of English and Filipino, the book is easy to digest.
- The book is within most young people's comfort zones because of its pop culture references. From superheroes like Superman and Batman to musicians like Ely Buendia. The words, super epic, themselves are from pop culture.
- Mighty wisely occasionally injects humour every now and then. For example, referring to Superman, he writes, "Kaya nyang bumuhat ng isang isla, lumipad papunta sa space, magsurvive sa isang nuclear blast, at syempre magpa-cute sa officemates nyang si Lois Lane pag may time." His words tickle the funny bone and, at the same time, the grey matter and the soul.
- Knowing today's youth's attention span, the writer wisely uses interesting anecdotes to keep young readers interested. An example is the interesting story of Jay Jaboneta, founder of Yellow Boats of Hope Foundation.
- I did not find any piece of advice that contradicts the Bible or attempts to present an inaccurate interpretation of it. On the contrary, from time to time, Bible verses are there to support the writer's words.
- Finally, reminiscent of Ed Lapiz's (author of Siksik, Liglig, Umaapaw) writing style, Mighty does not mince words when it comes to opening the youth's eyes to their (our) common flaws including impulsiveness, laziness, and the lack of self-control.
All in all, I truly liked reading the book. I didn't find a single flaw or, like what I have said, Biblical contradiction. Instead, the book is both light and fun to read and enlightening and inspiring. I am actually planning to keep this book and encourage my son to read it when he becomes a youth himself.
I don't doubt he would enjoy reading it and learn a lot from it. I did.
May Powers Ka to be #SuperEpic is published by OMFLit and is available in all leading bookstores nationwide.

Disclosure: Mighty Rasing sent me this book for free in exchange for a review. However, it did not, in any way, influence my opinion. All of the thoughts and points expressed here are my own.
On one hand, I am relieved that it's already Friday. On the other hand, I realise that I still have a lot to do over the weekend. For starters, I need to report to work tomorrow to cover up for my absence last Wednesday. Thank goodness I work from home and don't have to go out!
This week has been very busy for me. It was a mix of good busy and bad busy. Let me tell you about it.
Busy for Work
I have been given new responsibilities at work, which is a really great thing because it shows they trust me enough. I've also been made in charge of the Filipino content team. In fact, another Filipino has been added to the team this week. I interviewed her on Monday and she got hired immediately! Busy for License Registration
But as busy as I am for work, I had to work the afternoon shift on Tuesday and be absent on Wednesday because I was taking care of my license registration. The hurdles - not to mention the steep fees! - really don't end with the board exam. But it's alright. We have no choice because we have to get our license!
What made the process fun and bearable was the fact that I came with a friend, Ate Elaine, who was also my classmate, and I also met my old friend, Sonny, who is also my brod from the counterpart fraternity. We're all brokers now, yay! I told them we should form a corporation or something. It's really all for my benefit because Ate Elaine is a CPA while Sonny will take the bar exams this November. Bwahahaha!
By the way, I'm finally a licensed real estate broker. I don't have the physical license yet, but I have a license number!
Busy because Yuri was sick
I've also been busy because of "bad" reasons. For one, Yuri came down with a fever last Wednesday, which did not subside until this morning. He's barely sick, but when he's sick, he's really weak and doesn't move much. He needed some rest and nourishment.
Today, Friday, he's feeling much better, although we keep going to the bathroom because he's having a mild diarrhoea. He says his tummy doesn't hurt though. I think it's because his food intake for the past days is mostly liquid. I won't worry until he says his stomach hurts. And busy because my laptop is sick
And my trusty laptop is not doing well this week, too. Talk about bad timing! I don't know what happened to it. It was doing well on Tuesday night, but when I came home Wednesday evening, it was suddenly not turning on. It functions but veeeery slowly. In fact, yesterday morning, it took an hour and a half for it to start!
So I PC-refreshed it. The computer promised that the process won't harm the files, but after around an hour of refreshing, when it came back on, all of my blog photos were gone. I wasn't worried much because I could download them from the blog, but I hope it fixes the problem. It's still going a little slow now, but I'll monitor it.
EDIT: The photos are gone from my drive, but when I re-installed Picasa, all my photos are there!!! Every single one. Good guy Picasa is good!
