Our idols’ inspirations: PLDT’s Dy, Reyes, Alcantara reveal their biggest supporters

Image
 Meet the special people who were there for PLDT High Speed Hitters Kianna Dy, Mika Reyes, and Angge Alcantara since the very beginning. The elite athletes of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) may be some of the best to ever step on the court, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t need help to stay at the top of their game. Sports, especially at the major-league level, is a tough pursuit with all of its treacherous lows that come with the exciting highs. An athlete doesn’t get to and stay in the pros without the support of some important people in their life. The stars of PLDT High Speed Hitters know this all too well, which is why they’re not shy to appreciate the people that they leaned on throughout the years. This is much more so as they battle it out at the ongoing PVL All-Filipino Conference – pegged to be the longest conference since the league’s inception. For opposite spiker Kim Kianna Dy, boyfriend and international basketball star Dwight Ramos is the rock that keeps her an...

Perfume Time! - Dupe Time!

Image
My Favourite Cheap Versions And we're back with the rating and stuff! I woke up this morning facing the shelf where my perfume collection is placed and I realized aside from the BR540 dupes I have written about before, I have also gotten my hands on other perfumes that seems to be a dupe or shamelessly a dupe of expensive ones. In this post, I will be rating them based on my liking, and no one else's because this is my post. :D Kidding aside, I've wanted to do this since this morning and I would lose my mind if I don't write about it while I'm motivated. I don't exactly know how to do this but I'll do it anyway. First of, I'm no experienced fraghead or nose, but I consider myself quite an enthusiast but probably not too much, I just really like smelling good. Second, I love gourmand and don't judge me for it, because my sister does and I don't need any more imaginary hater; I am kinda starting to get inclined with niche perfumes as well since mos...

Perfume Time! - Story 1

Image
Sharing my perfume stories - one experience after another. So I have been planning on writing stuff about my perfume collection but I just couldn't come up with something. Until I got my latest PMS where I saw how I liked the smell of one perfume I blind-bought that I particularly did not like. It all starter with a fraghead friend influencing me to but perfumes because I needed a new hobby. Another friend then gave me suggestions on the scents he likes that he said I may like as well. Weird as it may sound but yes, because I am a newbie when it comes to fragrance, I decided to blind-buy some stuff which resulted to 1. liking some of them, 2. not liking some of them but keeping them, and 3. not liking them so gave them to my parents and my partner. So there's this one particular scent I did not like - Jo Malone's English Pear and Freesia. Not that I don't like it at all but it is one of my least used perfumes because the scent gives me headache. As a malfunctioning girl...

Expanding Horizons Through Reading

Image
 Books always have a special place in my heart I grew up reading books, encyclopedias, story books, short novels, etc., as my mom was once a book seller when me and my siblings were young, even as young as when I still couldn't hold my head up! This did not only teach us that books are material things that can be sold and bought, because our mom sells them, but it can help us understand the world better. What do I mean by this? Like I mentioned, I grew up surrounded by different types of printed materials like books, because of my mom’s work, it is quite inevitable. She would leave me and my little sister to their office and showroom as she roams around and offer people their products. To fight boredom, my sister and I would open one book each and little did we know, we finished a whole volume of encyclopedias. This was how we were introduced to loving reading. As we grow older, the types of materials we read have also evolved, from printed encyclopedias, to more complex ones, to y...

Duping My Favourite Perfume

Image
Finding the best MFK Baccarat 540 dupe. Hi! Near here! I’m relatively new to fragrances and blind-bought some, I liked most of them but some are just not for me. But out of around 10 blind-buys I have for the past six months, one really stood out and has been a staple for me. It’s a quite famous fragrance from a quite famous brand that is definitely not quite cheap. haha!  If you’re thinking Maison Francis Kurkdjian, then you are absolutely right! I have been using Baccarat 540 EDP and Extrait, and Gentle Fluidity Gold from this brand because I’ve heard it’s a good brand.  https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maison-Francis-Kurkdjian/Baccarat-Rouge-540-33519.html https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maison-Francis-Kurkdjian/Baccarat-Rouge-540-Extrait-de-Parfum-46066.html From the two (BR540 & GFG), BR540 EDP has been my staple and the one I get compliments the most  I must admit, I didn’t like it at first because of the metallic notes on it which gets amplified on m...
