The Things I Do for Love

Hey guys! I'm back after like... a week? Hehehe ~ Well, I have been busy in my cave hooked on to my Nintendo 2DS. Only now did I come to the light of a brand new day because I have finished the plot of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire! Hehehe ~  Honestly, I wanted to write this feature on the day of its release, November 21, 2014. But then I attended the ORAS Na! Event and I started playing my copy of Alpha Sapphire shortly after. Wheee ~ Never did I imagine I would be addicted to the game because I have played Pokemon Emerald which has the same storyline as Alpha Sapphire. But 1, 2, 3... Ta-da! Angel Mariel forgot reality, and learned Pokemon. (^_^) So guys, like I said earlier, I just finished the game and now let me feature my loot last November 21, the day that I hurried to DataBlitz and claimed my pre-ordered Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. My copy of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (PhP1,850) The reason why I chose Alpha Sapphire is because I like Kyogre. (^_^) Since I pre-ordered the tit

I have reacquainted myself with Pokemon recently. Well, it is not new actually, I did play Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Emerald years ago. But the new features of Pokemon X got me hooked once again. Though the story plot bored me, the variety of Pokemon included within made me curious.The game focused more on Pokemon and made it more complex in terms of skills. Oh let me stop myself before this post turns to a full review of Pokemon X. Hahaha ~  Among my peers, I am somewhat alone in this Pokemon venture and I want to meet new friends who are into this game, as well.  So, in my quest to find friends, I searched for "Pokemon Philippines" in Facebook and it directed me to PKMN-ph page with a link to a launch day meetup of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The event would also have a Pokemon X and Y send off tournament. Call me crazy but I decided to join the battle right then and there. And yep, even if I had work on Saturdays, I took my last vacation leave of 2014

Heya! Sorry for my long absence, guys. Time is a rare commodity for me nowadays. But no worries, whenever I wish for time to go slow, the perfect place to go would be a coffee shop. It's just fascinating to watch the skies, birds, and people pass by. I also write, read, or just stare at blank space with the invigorating aroma of coffee wafting in the air. Speaking of coffee shops, my favorite place to go during the Christmas season is Starbucks ! I love that place for two reasons: Toffee Nut Frappuccino and the Planner. The planner I can forego, but Toffee nut Frappe, not a chance! (^_^) However, there is a new featured beverage this 2014: the Christmas Cookie Latte. The Peppermint Mocha and Toffee Nut are also available. Those two are the crowd favorites, eh?  So on my visit at Starbucks a few days ago, I bought the newly featured drink. And oh, the plastic cup is specially decorated with paint strokes and it looks so festive, as well. Everyone... presenting the Christmas Co

October 19th was the BDJ Fair with the theme Live It Up ! Yeah, I know it's been two weeks and I know this post is quite late. Sorry guys, you know how much I struggle with time. Hehehe ... Well, I saw to it that I would never miss this event. Belle de Jour Power Planner means a lot to me and it has helped me get out of my shell to be the best that I can be. It's all thanks to the BDJ Team and their amazing concepts! Despite the fact that my registered talk was at 3:00 PM, I went to SM Mall of Asia Music Hall early! I was just that excited! (^_^) The 2014 BDJ Fair at SM MoA Music Hall I signed up for two talks: one presented by Tricia Gosingtian and another done by Edric Mendoza. But before that, I just had to try and visit the various gorgeous booths first! I love this fabulous photo wall for Bellas! BDJ Fair 2013 was about frames. This year, it was about hula hoops... Me at the photo wall Hula hoops because the theme of the 2015 Belle de Jour Power Planner
