#ALMbisyosa Series: Simply Jeans

Before I decide on my outfit for the day, I always take into considerations who I am meeting with, where will the venue be, and how many meetings will I have for the day.  Today, I am going to meet government officials so I decided to dress appropriately but still #ALMbisyosa (you just have to match it with the right pair of shoes and blazer:)

 White top:  SM

Beige Blazer:  HK

Belt:  Genevieve Gozum

Pearls:  Thanks Tony!

#ALMbisyosa Series: And the winner is.......

One of the reasons why you need to consider working in an agency is receiving recognition of your campaigns from different award giving bodies.  When I started working in GMCI (GeiserMaclang Marketing Communications, Inc.), I have not yet realized that this will be my career, that this will  give me recognition I never expected.  Just so you know, I have accepted that I don't need commendations from other people to be motivated, as I know that I fulfill myself - that's my motivation (PAT ON THE BACK:) - to be excellent in what I do and to have my own identity...and I dont want to expect recognition from anybody ---- talk about false hopes! Motivation comes from yourself FIRST.

Nonetheless, I am still very grateful (and happy:) receiving awards from the campaigns I directly supervised..to name a few, National Thank You Day, Wyeth's Bata Movement, Barbizon Mommy Milkshake..these have received awards from different organizations.  Recently, the Aray Ko Galing Ko won several awards . Blued Stylepreneur, which was managed by Anika Punzalan  (ex-GMCI) and Andrew Sha, won an award too:)

Sharing with you photos from the 47th Anvil Awards....

Recently, Geisha Modern Japanese Cuisine soft launched this year located at BGC.   It was a little surprising when I first went to their restaurant, the interior design is not traditional Japanese - yes no red furnitures.  First that caught my attention was these wooden stylish chairs. And of course, I dont want to miss this chance to have my photo taken.  Thanks to Tina Antonio of GMCI for taking this shot!

I miss my No. 1 fan

It’s been 5 months since my dad left us.  And still I cry each time I think of him.  He’s my greatest fan.  I miss his sweet words to me, his reminders to me to lessen smoking and drinking.  My dad was very supportive, he congratulates me each time I get a promotion or any achievement.  He always make me feel how proud he is of me.  And when I have problems, I just have to cry to him without saying anything, I don’t need to explain or justify anything, he just listens and comforts me.  I miss my dad so much, I really feel that when he left, I lost a special part of me.  I really miss my dad, especially when I want to share something, to share what I feel, to share my anger, to share my fears.  He’s always the first person who takes care of me when I’m sick, he’s the first person who greets me on my birthday, Christmas, New Year and Valentine’s day. I still send messages thru text to my dad when I miss him, yes – I send messages to his old mobile number. 

I miss you so much Daddy!  I just hope I could always be your little girl who kisses you and touches your big tummy every morning. I miss the days that you carry me and hug me tight.  You always make me feel like your baby.........I love you daddy.
