Merry Christmas (2012)

Peace of mind, Love in heart, and Care for yourself and others: Christmas is the perfect time for these.

Merry Christmas to All!

Tagaytay Food Trip

—The coldest city in south, and a two-day and one night reunion place reunion for us—training batch mates.

We definitely had food trips and tried some of Tagaytay’s Best cuisines only at:

(for Lunch) Nareens’s Eatery for their Chicharong Bulaklak, Crispy Tawilis, and their BEST Tasting  BULALO Ever!;

(for Afternoon snack/Merienda) Bags of Beans with their Frozen Choco, Machiatto, Mocha Fraffe, White Mocha, Blueberry Cheesecake and Choco Mousse;

and (for Dinner) Carlo’s Pizza for their delicious samplers (budget meals).

Taal Lake viewing at night

Checked in at its finest hotel, Taal Vista—a BIG thanks to Maria's generous father, we had a short but worth stay in Tagaytay.

+ + + + +

Eat and Go for Reunion! You must definitely try this too!

The Home Wrecker

This past week was a horrible to me. Why not, if someone accuses You being their family's HOME WRECKER? Hahaha, even I can't believe it!

To my parents, Thank You for making such One Of A Kind Child. Lol. <3

The Way I Style My Twenty-Third

My Birthday is definitely the most special day of my year, and so do you. So for this year, I styled myself something glittering from the eyes of the people I expected to greet me (haha!)

a glittering headband turned necklace under the collar

complemented to a patterned flower long sleeves,  an auburn slim-cut pants, a beige sneakers and to a big eye-catching ring

+++++

It's a Happy Birthday to me!

Another Variety of Ice Cream

Haha, this was the craziest receipt I've ever received, and it is when I bought my first ever cup of Dairy Queen ice cream. I must be open to any variety of my name!

23rd BeKIERful Day

August 27, 2012; Monday (a regular holiday, is it because it’s my 23 birthday?)






Aside to our family, this day can be made special if we celebrate it with the most beautiful and great people we have—friends!

Even if it was a regular holiday, I made sure I did those things I planned a week before my day:
A Dinner treat for my office mates-travel buddies (for sure, they’ll give me their gifts—which they did! Haha)

A luggage bag from the most beautiful people above,  hehe

And speaking of gifts—which we’ve been expecting since the day ‘birthday’ was born—here are my birthday greetings and presents I got on this day (some of which are from my wish list, whew!):

1from my sister Mia & Mama 2from my sweetest employer 3from my office mate-friend Christine Dagohoy 4from my sister Mia again 5from my office mate-friend Pamela Mondez 6office mate-best teammate-friend Rose Ann Santos

1a Macaron de Paris from TLF from my office mate-best teammate-friend Rose Ann Santos 2a luggage suit case from my best office-travel buddies(girls above) 3a Terranova scarf from my office mate-friend Joyce Mayugba 4a mini-radio from my best Team Vhong 5a synthetic letter and a brass ring from my office mate-friend Kei Veran

Yes, I'm now 23. And my next plans? Let see what my future would be. 

+ + + + +

Thank You to All of You who makes not just my birthday but my every day, so.. sooo special! Mwah! :-* ILoveYouGuys!

Lord of the Ring

For Php 50.00 (it's an SM Big SALE, sulit 'di ba?), this white gold ring--not a pure karat white gold--is a must have accessory for our fingers!

Buying items on sale is a must too!

Velvet Vest

My 23rd BeKIERful Day is near!

Friday at work can be as exciting as wearing these. This Jean-Metal Chain Bracelet is as always, BeKIERfully made--meaning, I personally made it myself! Top to bottom: Stripes Shirt, Velvet Vest, skinny baby pink Uniqlo pants, and my ultimate suede black boots.

Precious Gem

Kiyera!


A Mother is a precious gift from God, and so is mine.

Taken last April 22, at around 9 in the morning, after waking-up from bed mode.

Happy Mother's day to all wonderful Mothers, especially to the mostest Mother of all, Mrs. Bernadette Cuevas!

WeLoveYouSooooMuch!

Cry in Tears

Kiyera!

Card form Papemelroti 

Last midnight, after work, I wrote this Mother's Day letter for my Mama.

Dream Huge

Kiyera!


I have this feeling that someday, my poses and pictures would not only be seen in my FB's Timeline Cover photo portion, but also to all top fashion magazines and huge billboards.

BOTHERED

Kiyera!

 B O T H E R E D. 

Ito ang salitang usong-uso (ngayon) sa amin sa office. Sinong nagsimula nito? Hindi ko rin alam.

3 bagay na kailangang malaman kung isa ka nang BOTHERED:

1. Kung sasagot ka sa tanong ng pasigaw? BOTHERED ka!
2. Kung nakasimangot ka sa INshTAGRAM photo? BOTHERED ka!
3. Kung O.A. sa lakas ng boses mo na halos isigaw mo na kahit hindi ka naman galit? BOTHERED ka!

The Avengers | The Lucky One

Kiyera!

We’d spent half night (at work) yesterday just for these two blockbuster movie tickets (for this year): Marvel’s The Avengers and Nicholas Sparks’ Bestselling novel turned movie, The Lucky One.

Choose The One

Kiyera!


Hot days keep on coming. The Philippine's Summer Heat is really on!

Today is the perfect time to share how beautiful our country is. How grateful a Filipino must who lives in a composing 7,107 island country. Philippines is the perfect place for a memorable, unwinding vacation. This is why I always say "It's One Of A Kind Philippines."

These two videos I saw in YouTube show that "It's really More Fun in the Philippines!" from the wonderful places, to the talented people. Enjoy watching and get ready to amaze!

LoveStruck

Kiyera!

Shot in Venice Piazza, McKinley Hill, Taguig city last Valentine's Day

Every time I hear Nina’s own rendition of ‘Love Moves in Mysterious Ways’, I believe her.

Last night, when my officemates and I were having our dinner, we came to bully our friend, Rose’s previous love life. She told us that she has moved on from it. Then suddenly, the bullying strikes me. Yay!  “Did you ever fall in love?” –they asked me. The question has stuck me into silence, laugh less, speechless and loneliness. L

They told me that being in love with someone is much different from infatuating one.

This may be the emo-iest post I had made since the year started.

Long, Short and Hard

Kiyera!

Bukod sa “Hello” kong pagbati, may bago na kayong mapapansin sa mga susunod kong blog post.—ang “Kiyera!” (mula sa ibang pagbigkas ng aking napakagandang pangalang “KIER” o “Ki-yer” kung bigkasin ng iba). Ano nanaman ba ito? Wala lang, may mapauso lang at may mai-blog lang. Hehehe. Hindi. Gusto ko lang i-utilize (wow! Utilization!) ang isa sa mga features ng Blogger: ang Post template. O ang automatic na pagbati sa lahat ng blog post. Yes! It's Au-to-ma-tic! Gora lang sa Settings > Posts and comments > ang shoot!

Sisimulan ko itong gamitin dito sa post na ito. Kaya sa mga susunod kong post, bago ninyo simulang basahin, sabihin niyo munang: Mahabang ‘Kiii’ + Maikling ‘ye’ + at Matigas na ‘Ra!’ = “Kiii-ye-ra!”

Taking Advantage

Yey! May SM Advantage Card narin ako!

For Php 150.00 registration fee, any holder of this card can earn points every time he/she purchases to any SM stores. And earned points can be redeemed for any consumer products. (Oh di'ba? Parang sales clerk lang ng SM Department Store? Hehe). This is just my secondary reason why I decided to get mine. Primarily because of my irritation (don't get me wrong how I mean it when I say that I become irritated to them) to the cashiers every time I pay my items. UNLI sila? Paulit-ulit! Haha:

(Before)


Cashier: "Sir, may SM Advantage Card kayo?"
BeKIERful: "Wala po eh."
Cashier: "Baka gusto niyong mag-avail?"
BeKIERful: "Hindi na po."
Cashier: "Php 150.00 lang po Sir."
BeKIERful: "Hindi po."
Cashier: "Magagamit niyo po yun points for..." *blah, blah, blah...


(Now)

Cashier: "Sir, may SM Advantage Card kayo?"
BeKIERful: (Kunin ang SMAC sa wallet, then) "Oh yan!" *hahaha, joke lang ha!

This is just a temporary card . The permanent one will be released (or I can get) after a month from the date of my registration.

From my Mom's experience, sulit ito! She used her earned points for kilo and other ingredients of Spaghetti for my Father's birthday.

Ako kaya, anong item ang mapapalit ko using my points? Mmmm...

Congratulations Batch 2012

Allow myself to congratulate you all Batch 2012 Graduates for a student-job well done! You made it! Whew! Pa-burger naman kayo dyan! Haha!

I felt what you're feeling right now. Na lahat ng pictures niyo sa inyong Graduation rites ay excited nang i-upload sa Facebook. Pati yun Graduation picture gagawing Profile picture! Hahaha, ganyan din dati si BeKIERful. 

Sinabi mo bang "Sa wakas tapos na paghihirap koooo..."? Ah, ah, ah! Simula palang yan ng ating sunod-sunod na dagok na hirap ng real life. The REAL One. Mula sa paghahanap ng first (hopefully, would be the last) job, hanggang sa paggastos ng ating kikitain.

Rosy Leather

She promised it, and she made it.

Finally! Nabigay narin ni Rosey and kanyang Post-Christmas Gift sa akin! Almost three months din pero worth it. Dahil super like ko itong Black Snake-skin coin purse!

I really do! :)

Get to know me first ni Rosey

Hello mga BeKI! Ay, mga BeKIERful people pala! Haha.. Oo, ako nanaman nga ito. Ikukuwento ko ngayon ang kahulugan ng titulo nitong blog post ko.

Last Tuesday ito, habang nagtatrabaho kami ni Rosey, ang aking ka-Team at (mahirap man sabihin.. kaibigan? Haha).

Uy! Friday the 13th pala ngayon! Kakasabi lang ng DJ sa radyo. {WalaLangHaha}

Back to my story:

Tapos, biglaan nalang napunta ang aming kuwentuhan sa pagiging “Suplado” ko (daw?). Ang pagkakatanda ko, pinag-uusapan naming kung gaano kalabo ang aking dalawang magandang mata. Naks!

Konbersasyon

(AKO si BeKIERful, si Rosey si RACStar—name ng blog niya)

...

BeKIERful: “Ang labo kasi talaga ng mata ko. As in kahit nasa harap ko na, hindi ko parin nakikita (OA no? Pero totoo talaga!).

RACStar: “Kasi tuwing nakikita kita, halimbawa nung isang araw, nakangiti na ako sa’yo, pero ikaw wala ka paring reaksyon, hindi ka paring ngumingiti. SUPLADA MO!"

(Huuuuwwaaaatttt???)

Lucky I'm In love

I mark the date yesterday as I finished reading one of Nicholas Spark’s masterpieces and the much-awaited novel-movie adaptation for this year, The Lucky One. After so many months.. sa wakas! I can’t wait to see it in the big screen!

 + + + + +

It’s been almost over a year since I started reading as my ultimate past time habit. And I can’t imagine that I already read some of the best-selling novels of the best authors of this time. To sum up, I already read:

In random order: Francisco Jimenez's Breaking Through; James Patterson's Sam's Letters to Jennifer & Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas; Mitch Albom's For One More Day, The Five People You Meet In Heaven & Tuesdays with Morrie; and Nicholas Sparks' The Rescue, Safe Heaven, A Walk to Remember & recently The Lucky One.

+thanks to my office mate, Maria, the ultimate source of these books! 

What do you think should I read next? Mmmm...

ANG PAGBABALIK-LOOB

Haha.. title palang, palaisipan na. Bahala na kayong mag-isip kung bakit! Maraming salamat sa mga natuwa.. ayy! NATAWA pala! hehe

Tenenen..

Pakapalan na 'to! haha

Black is Back

Hayeee!

The summer is on! And to compliment the sun's heat, I dyed my hair to where it began..
Black is BACK!

Teach me how to do it

This is something you can do aside from Facebook-ing. Something that passed my boredom over the weekend. Picture-spoofing! Using PhotoScape, these are the results:

One-Time Show

January 18, 2012, Saturday; Grande Island Resort, Subic


Personally? I didn't expect that I removed my shirt and danced (showdown pa nga eh with my Manager) in front of my hundred co-employees that night. And the following week, all of them didn't believe this too..  yeee!

14 feet below

January 17, 2012, Tuesday; Boracay, Aklan

This is a super late post. I should have posted this weeks since then, but found no time. And since our Internet is so slow, it was hard for me to wait for about three hours just to upload this video.

Obviously, this was taken 14 feet below the clear sea water of Boracay. For only Php450.00 (for a group of 6 or above), you can play and feed with different small fishes.

TIP (from the first-timers like us): Relax before, during and after diving.

Serious hanggang dito?  haha
