Quickly Book A Hotel With #HotelQuickly

Can you read the title 5x quickly? Haha! That's a tongue twister I came up with for the new app I will be introducing to you guys. The app obviously is called HotelQuickly and it's for booking hotels across Asia-Pacific. The app is free and can be downloaded from both iOS and Android phones. So you might ask... what's the difference from the other booking apps? Read on!

Check Who Follows You In Instagram

There's so many ways on how to check if the person is following you or not. There are heaps of free apps you can download but just like us, apps are not perfect. They can provide wrong information and the best way to check its accuracy is through other apps as well. But for me, when I want to confirm if the person who keeps liking my photos is my follower, I run to Webstagram for help. I never fails to give me the right data ever since I started using it.

Blogapalooza 2015 #ResponsibleMedia

Blogging is not as easy as it looks. You have to work hard in producing good content, constantly promoting that content on different social media and of course, building reputation and relationship towards different brands. And the best way to start a relationship with brands would be an event that caters to both parties - the businesses and the bloggers: We're very glad there's Blogapalooza !

Feeling Stressed? #ChooseYourBottles and Chill Out!

Do you belong to the young crop of the millennial generation? If yes, then you are part of the population's most stressed out individuals. According to recent surveys, millennials - those aged between 18 to 33 - suffer from the highest stress level out of all the other current living generations. Work, money, and relationships were cited as the top three factors that make today's young movers and shakers quite unhappy about life. Not to mention the high expectations that society has put on their shoulders. It's not all bad news for our hardworking millennial though. Albeit stressed out beyond what is considered as healthy, today's youth have been feeling less stressed than they were in 2007 with the trend going downward in recent years. The millennials' many new and de-stressing ways of living life to the fullest can be attributed to this positive light. Travelling, going on night outs, and trying new fun things are just some of the many activities that

Buku Buku Kafe, The District Imus

I don't know about you guys but for some reason, I'm more productive in cafes. I like doing my blogging duties and other To-Dos  there. Cafes are like my working space and my comfort zone (literally). However, most of the well-known coffee shops here in Cavite became noisy and so crowded that I lost connection from them. The feeling became so ordinary that I'd rather spend my day at home, making my own 3-in-1 coffee. For weeks (or even months), I've been envious of my friends who are Instagramming their moments in different coffee shops in QC. I've always wished how we, Caviteños, should also have those concept cafes nearby. And you know what, I'm so happy to know and announce that my wish has been granted! A book cafe is now open in The District Imus and it's called Buku Buku Cafe .

Where Are The Like Notifications?

If you're managing a Facebook page for a client or even for yourself (your personal brand), you may wonder why Facebook says you have a new fan (like) but you can't seem to view who it is. Here's the best answer to that question: •  Your fans' settings are set private. This is the common reason why page moderators don't see who have liked the Facebook page. Some users prefer to keep their activities in Facebook private by setting their privacy settings to "Only Me".

Landmark Purchases

I went to an event the other day and because I got off the bus in Ayala Station, I had to pass Landmark to get A Space Manila . As I was walking pass the mall, I saw piles of notebooks and other stationery products near the entrance/exit. But because I was quite running late, I decided to look around after the film showing. As soon as the film showing ended, I went to Landmark to check out the notebooks! There was that notebook I saw that never left my thoughts: that white small notebook with a cat on it! Haha! I'm such a cat lover and almost any merchandise that has a cat on it really appeals to me.

Cozy Merienda at Jovita Cafe

When you look for a place to hang out with friends, where do you go to? Nowadays, it's coffee shops, right? Gone are the days when group of friends hang out in fast food chains or 24/7 convenience stores. People are more drawn to cozy chill cafes with free wifi. But we don't just go to any coffee shop we want; we go to one of the best in the area with enough space to hang out in. And the best I've gone to in Batangas City is Jovita Cafe .

Let's Help Direk Joel Ferrer Finish His Film

Yesterday, I had the chance to watch nine (9) short films at A Space Manila . This was a film showing fundraising for Direk Joel Ferrer to help him finish his film, Baka Siguro Yata  (BSY) . The film is an entry to the 2015 Cinema One Originals Film Festival . As stated in their Facebook, " Baka Siguro Yata is a comedy drama which revolves around Carlo, a 29-year old unambitious graphic designer whose only passion is to play music with his co-unambitious long-time friends. After discovering that his girlfriend of 6 years is a lesbian, he seeks to find refuge on a one-night stand with a high school classmate named Melissa. However, Melissa gets pregnant which in turns everything in disarray. Melissa’s sister and her boyfriend mulls over their planned first sex but gets cold feet due to what happened to her sister. Carlo’s divorced parents, on the other hand, discreetly starts seeing each other as they rekindle their 20 year old relationship by having an affair and secret

5 Occasions That Call For Food Delivery

Most of us are not too convinced with food delivery because we see additional costs and we easily forget how it's more convenient for us. We look at it as an expense rather than a benefit. Allow me to share with you some situations where this kind of service becomes really handy. And allow me to also introduce to you a convenient service that will turn those doubts about food delivery to interest.

Brick Mansions Movie

I recently watched Brick Mansions via our cable provider and I honestly didn't know this was a film with Paul Walker in it. I think it was because this movie was overshadowed by his more popular movie series, Fast and Furious. I really had no idea what the movie was about and I wanted to continue watching it simply because Paul's in it; yeah, you can call me a fan. Hehe. After watching it, I checked the reviews of other websites or blogs and found how others were disappointed with this movie. It wasn't that disappointing for me because I enjoyed the movie but I think I get why others got disappointed.

Check Out These Beautiful Adult Coloring Cards From SM Dept Store

Adult coloring pastime has been on for a couple of months now and in the beginning, I didn't want to go with the trend. Why? Simple because the first books that were sold costed more then Php500 (US$11+). I didn't find it practical. But because I saw very affordable coloring books from Booksale Bookstore, I bought one to try. I enjoyed coloring and after finishing that book I bought from them, I wanted buy a new one. It was quite addictive! Unfortunately, when I went back, there were no more adult coloring books available and they don't know when they will restock. I went to National Bookstore to check if there will be affordable adult coloring books but was told all books were transferred to their new location (at the other side of the mall). When I was on the way there, I passed store shelves with so many adult coloring books located within the SM Department store! Funny it may sound, I felt my eyes sparkled! Haha!

Staycation at Z Hostel

Though my home is closer to Metro Manila compared to other provinces, it's still a hassle to go back and forth especially when you have consecutive events or special things to do there. I usually book a stay in a budget hotel when I go to Manila but thanks to Ana Gonzales for posting about Z Hostel! I now have a cheaper accommodation to stay in my next trip. I honestly didn't know what to expect. It would be my first time to stay in a hostel and it would also be my first time to stay in a dorm type room. I actually had mixed emotions the day before my check-in. I was excited and worried; somehow, I was wishing I'd be alone in the all female (6pax) room. And though it came true, I regret wishing it. Why? Read on!
