Beating and Enjoying the Summer Heat!!!

S.U.M.M.E.R.---Summer is here!!!

I bet you're all excited and have already set out an itinerary way ahead before the summer even began. And speaking of summer, one thing is for sure, we really need to beat the so called "enemy of us all" and that is the undying----heat. Why do you think this is so? Well, it wouldn't be that fun if you just let the heat get in the way of such wonderful summer, wouldn't you? And you also simply wouldn't let it bother you to such extreme. That being said, instead of having a little competition over as how to beat the heat of summer and who will be the winner. Why not enjoy the heat and beat it at the same time? Sounds more fun doesn't it? I bet it does.

Here's what we should do...

• We all know that the word summer is mostly associated with water---lots of  water  and that means we get to spend so much time either in the beach or in the pool especially in a country such as ours. So swim ahead and flip your fins--err I mean feet and enjoy. By doing so you get to soak in the water, you get to soak under the sun and let's not forget having a tan.

 

• You wouldn't just go and dive into the water without any protection from the harmful rays of sun, wouldn't you? Or even if you are not going to into the water at least put some thing on your skin. Our skin is very important. It is our first line of defense against anything. Once damaged we are more prone to both minor and serious injuries such as sun burn. To prevent that from happening you should apply some sun screen with SPF 15 or 30. It helps protect the skin from the UVA rays that are both damaging and dangerous. 

• Okay, you might complain, which I know would be a lot, since you can't dress up the way you wanted. Considering the weather is hot, it would entirely be inappropriate if you wear tight dresses and stiletto heels under the scorching heat. Fret not, for you can still be fashionable and comfortable at the same time.

Tip 1:

 

Who said anything about wearing loose clothes is "out" in the fashion list? That is not true. Wearing loose clothes actually let the heat out of our body contrary to wearing tight fitting clothes which is instead of letting the heat escape it's containing it leading to heat stroke. 

For this summer, wear loose clothes and show some of those legs by wearing shorts. You can also accessorize by wearing bangles and a pair it with comfy flip flops or gladiator sandals . The catch is getting "comfortable" and sexy NOT "uncomfortable" and sexy.

Tip 2:

While some us don't want to get a tan and would gladly stay away from the sun. We would most likely lose the opportunity to have fun. To solve your "sun problem" and fashion problem at the same time, put a summer hat on. Remember hats are not just a mere accessory to compliment our looks but a protection to our heads.

TIP 3:
What better way to see an amazing view without getting distracted by the rays of the sun other than by wearing sunglasses to protect our eyes. Yep, nowadays sunglasses comes in every shapes and sizes. In every color, in every hue. You can match it with your clothes too!!

Now, you can be fabulous and still be in style in summer!!

• There are certain times when we are too lazy or too busy to go out of town to unwind. So, we choose to be near and to spend some of our time cooling off in the mall. Though, we can't always be in the mall, could we? That wouldn't be too practical. If you want to cool down and want to spend so little?There's a very simple solution to your dilemma. Who could ever forget some delicious treat.  Food, is one of the things that we crave the most. No matter where we go, we don't forget food!! Every season has a particular food that is intended for that time alone. And for summer, it involves ---Ice. 

  

Don't hold yourself back and give in to these scrumptious food.

• Because of the sizzling summer, we tend to sweat a lot and I tell you, that is not a very good thing. When our body releases too much sweat we must replace the output by the drinking water to replenish ourselves. 

• One common adjective that is mostly associated with summer is hot, hot, and hot. That is unavoidable because the world needs to keep its balance. You should look on bright side, and think about the possibilities that you CAN do in weather like this and CAN'T do if the situation were reversed. Then, you'll realize, it is not so bad to have a weather such as this. Anyways, you can always use a fan to keep yourself cool
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Or be still  and stay under the shade. relaxing and enjoying the view.

 But did you know what makes summer more memorable???

Spending summer all by your self is No No. It should be done together with those people who are close to your heart.

Your Friends

and Family

......

You didn't just beat the heat. You enjoyed it!!!

Have a BLAST this SUMMER!!!

P.S. This is another submission for the contest and since the results are now up. I -ehem- ehem. could post it up here! Enjoy!

B.T.S. Part 1

"Better late than never"

___

Is what they say.

Then again, it's what I say. Hahaha.

___

This shoot was done last month and I haven't got the chance to flaunt it in here (That's right, flaunt is the term people. :P). This Mau's first ever photo shoot as a photographer.  As her best friend, I intend to support her of her latest passion and her being my best friend, didn't stop her either from dragging me along as her err--model?

A quick reminder though these photos are just "Behind the Scenes" since Labs is not yet finished editing all the pictures which she entitles " Two of Us" by the way. 

Moreover, these are the photos behind the--ehem---I quote and unquote  Couple-ish pictorial according to her.

___

Let us venture forth, as we take the path towards the Behind the Scenes of Mau's...

"Two of Us"

> The arrival of the members ---err---cast-- or whichever you prefer<

>The preparation.It's so hard to control one's laughter. Luckily I manage not to laugh in here and act normal-ish. Hihihi<

> Marjorie is doing the make-up. The photographer, "Mau", is reflected on the mirror. She's doing the BTS too. Isn't she a multi-tasker?<

> The guys moment of waiting. Girls take a LOT longer to prepare so mind waiting until the second coming??<

___

After waiting until the second coming (joke). We are now ready to do our first ever pictorial (gulps). But lets not talk about that.

As I have said earlier this isn't about me (whew. I'm saved)

It's about the person who made this shoot possible.

The photographer.

___

FACT:

Models aren't the only ones capable of doing poses in front of the camera.

True. 

Photographers too but, they did it behind the camera.

Very true.

That didn't stop me from taking those photos though.Hehe

Yep, I am that good.

___

Speaking of which...

Here are some incredible poses that made me laugh so hard (other than of course, her Oh-so-refined-words)  Check them out.

> The cat woman pose<

> Doing the close up shot she goes...KYAAA and tickled pink all over (seriously???)  before...<

> She (finally) took her shots.<

> Picture this, If you're the model and you hear her said words that are quite---fascinating. Trust me, you'll definitely laugh so hard that you'll drop the "be professional" words she keeps throwing at you from time to time. :D<

> Mau: "Look at her!! She's drinking it!! That's just props!! Props!!
Me: Weehhh... This is tasty!!! Ahahah<

___

After taking a couple of shots here and there,  we changed locations. Deciding the place was the hardest part since there are so many places that they want to go to.

Thankfully, they finally decided as to where we are going next.

___

The second location?

It's at Fort San Pedro and mind you, there are poses in here that you might find rather...amusing.

Don't believe me??

See below.

> That AZZ dearie♥<

>Ohh... another one<

> Now, bend forward..That's it<

> Lean to the left...good-good<

> Now, do the tip-toe.<

PERFECT!!!

___

It was a hilariously-tiring shoot.  But was it worth it?

Hmm...

Yep, definitely worth it.

___

Schaun's 1st Birthday

Last August 29, 2013 we celebrated the first birthday of my beloved nephew Shaun Eadric. It was a funny costume party. Every little kid was wearing their costumes by heart. Shaun " GuGu" as I call him was wearing a cowboy costume.

Shing- Shing!!

♥Woody Costume from the Toy Story movie♥

4th Anniversary

This is the only time that I get to post the pictures that had happen last August 11, 2013. It was the day that the company was established and it's now on its fourth year.

I wasn't able to attend last year's anniversary for some reasons, BUT, for this year I came prepared.

The theme is about FIESTA!

___

The said event was held at Family Park  located at Talamban. Since the company is expanding and there are so many of us the place was indeed fit. For the preparations, all of us joined hand in hand. We did many things.

1. We trace a big triangular shapes for the banderitas.

2. We cut the traces.

3. We stapled it into the yarn or was it straw?

(Now, imagine doing those things over and over again since we have five or was it seven different colored flags) 

NOW for the groupings, we were divided into teams. Done by drawing lots that will assigned us what team we're in.

And did you know how easy to find your team is despite the growing population?

Yep, it is...it is none other than...

By COLORS.

___

Let's take a peek into the event, shall we?

First stop, the parade of colors.

>With Dora and Yvanne<

> Ms. Elda (yellow) and Dora (red)<

> Ms. Tin (ocean blue shirt)<

>Ms. Margarette (lavender) and Ms. Steph (purple)<

There are TONS of colors and sad to say I didn't manage to get all of them (Do forgive me)___

Second, the good thing about having this kind of event once in a while is that you get to meet your friends as well (especially if they are in a different shift or team)

♥with Pinky-puh! ♥

♥OT mate McQueen♥

♥Ms. Sharpay♥

♥the other LABS en-en♥

___

Third, you get to meet new PEOPLE from your team

Fourth, you get to have fun. Teachers, staffs and even the students joined the fun as well.

> Sack race! Go Ms. Aira!<

> Finding a coin in a basin full of flour with Ms. Hershey<

> Students too have their share of fun!<

___

Fifth, lets not forget about the band.

> The band with David (vocalist)<

> Ms. Nice (Go TL!)<

 ___

Sixth, my team mates and supervisor

> Ms. Mia (our pretty supervisor)<

>Ms. Lee<

>Ms. Jonah<

> Ms. Aj<

> Ms. Mayu<

> Sir Lorex (the new on/off TL congrats!)<

 ___

There are so many pictures that I want to share with you guys but since I have limited time, I decided that it would be for the other site for you to see.

I had lots of fun!

My stomach was full because of the scrumptious food. Hehe.

And I get to spend some time with my friends.

Once again, HAPPY FOURTH ANNIVERSARY QQE!
