Ok aminado nako na ang mga ghelay minsan fickle minded talaga. OO, guilty ako dun. I’ve been living in my unit for 7 years and more or less, palagi syang work in progress. Kasi naman ang taste ng tao nagbabago talaga. But if anything masculine talaga ang peg ko.

Tip: If waley vase, use mga silver silveran nyo. Ayan, para magamit naman sya! Ako nagarrange nyan!

Dahil napaka MANLY ng taste ko, nakita nyo naman ang black and silver with bunggo pa. Lagyan ng flowers para evidence na babae ako. choz!

D naman lahat ng floral arrangement putok na putok sa dami. Avail nyo yung very ikebana chuwariwap ang peg!

Fave ko toh kasi super long lasting! Patay na kuko nyo buhay parin sya. choz!

Ayan, more tira tira na bulaklak. AVAIL!!!

Tawang tawa si V nung pagkatapos ko gawin toh. Sabi nya “isn’t it a bit too much?” Parang flowershop na daw ang balur! haha

So sobra kong proud sa sarili ko pinost ko talaga! hahaha! At talagang pinasight ko pa sa lahat ng friendship. At yung hindi makapunta, hinaggard ko sa sinendan sa BBM.

Well, since most of my friends are worldly daw. choz! Nasa ibang bansa. Bet ko na may BBM! Best in pakita ako ng photos while fixing our xmas party. Hindi ko need mag IDD call or mahalia na text! At sa katamaran ko mag copy paste ng text, naka group message kami. Isahan nalang!

Luge ang walang BlackBerry. D nyo ako mapipigilan sa bulaklak ko! haha! hindi daw garden of eden ang peg ng pasko! haha!

Sarap chumika sa BBM pagpasko. Excited for everyone’s xmas holidays here in Manila!

Much love,

Ok, I’m known to be obsessive when it comes to wrapping gifts and decorating the tree. Every since I was young, si Mudak kasi may flower shop dati so parang sagala parati ang bahay pag pasko. Halos linggo linggo nagpapalit ng decors dahil gusto nya may halong fresh flowers and tree namin. Heller, d naman ako ganun ka tyaga. But I guess, may namana din pala ako kahit konti sa pagayos ng balur. haha!

Nawindang lang ako nung nalaman ko na she co-designed a Range Rover. Susko. Ano pa kaya ang hindi nya nagagawa? Found out that she really has a postion in Land Rover as “Creative Design Executive” — ANSABEH! KABOG KA MOTHER!

Naaliw talaga ako kasi it’s something close to my heart. Sobrang hilig ko sa kotse kahit nung bata pa ako. O diba, hindi nyo alam yun no? As in hindi lang kotse ha, yung pang-drag race pa. Nung bagets pa ako, nagse-set up talaga ako nang mga kotse at kinakarera ko! Hahaha! Di ko maisip na gawain ko yun before. Kalowka!

Goes to show that cars are not just for the men! Pati babae kayang makipag-sabayan no! PAK!

Here’s Mother Posh in the launch of the Range Rover Evoque special editon she co-designed! Ganda diba? Timeless and classic designs ang peg nya for the vehicle. Inspiration nya ang yachts, luxury jets, and classic cars. SO BONGGELS! LOVET!

Watch the special video by Nick Knight!

Stills from the video. Class ka talaga mother!

Emote emote lang sa commercial eh.

Ganda mo! Hatechu!

Naka-gown  talaga sya sa commercial nang kotse. Sanib lang talaga.

The first ever Land Rover na may hand-finished matt paint. May rose gold accents on the grille surround, badging, and 20” GLOSS BLACK ALLOY WHEELS! KABOWG! O diba, marami akong alam sa kotse!

Vintage-inspired leather seats!

Hand finished feature stitch. The baseball-like stitching on the seats are reference to David daw. Eh diba soccer sya, bakit baseball? Haha

Black laquers, veneers, and textured aluminium ang interiors! With mohair mat din!

A four-piece leather luggage set and a hand-sewn wallet come with the car. Ayan o may libreng maleta! Haha

The car will be available first in China! O diba, iba talaga ang powers nang mga Asians!

Posh was recently in Beijing to promote the Evoque and her collection! Tignan nyo yung mga twitpics nya. Kalurkey!!!

Huy atey, bawal yan sa eroplano! Pero nakaka-aliw talaga how she doesn’t take herself too seriously! Bongga ang photo with cabin crew! Wacky kung wacky! Haha

Ang matching clothes nila ni Baby Harper. ANG KYOOT KYOOT!!!

Nag-tweet din sya pagka-landing nya. Ganito pala sya mag-unpack sa Beijing. HINDI AKO NA-BRIEF! Bakit ganyan! Kasama talaga ang rack at hanger? Jusko! Sabihan ko na si V next time na magbaon na din nang ganyan. What is prepared sya masyado sa damit nya? At mukhang lahat bagong steam. Kalerkey!

BONGGA MO BECKS! LOVE YOU LANG!

Much love,

Ok, guilty. Bago pa maghalloween may christmas tree na ako. Sabi nga nila sumampa lang ang september hindi nako magkandarapa.

So every year, may ganap ng na becky party at may costume. So this year ang drama is… JUNGLE! since ayoko naman magsabit ng ahas sa Christmas tree ko. I decided to just use ala adam and eve level vines to make it achievable.

Here we go!

I don’t change my tree (hindi sya fresh dahil d ako ganun ka-sosyal at jeje pa yung aso ko. kakainin nya lang yun..haha!). So technically the lights and tree luma. Here are some of my tips.

1. Store your tree properly and if possible invest on LED lights. Para tumagal sya. After you use it at dumating na ang tatlonghari (hindi si Karylle ha), make sure to wash or clean it before packing. Nakalagay sa malaking plastic container yung akin. And as for the lights, check mo din lahat if gumagana pa or not.

Decorating your tree 101

Wag kang tamad! haha! Make sure na hindi mo lang inikot yung ilaw sa buong tree. Magmumukhang madilim sa loob yun. What we do is we make sure every “branch” inikitun sya ng lights.

Go wrap it from the base going to the tip (up and down) then back to the base again. Kung baga head quarters mo yung trunk.

Nest step yung ornaments. Ganun din make sure to put on the inside area. Masmaganda yung effect. I like putting pa nga the reflective stuff inside kasi maganda yung tama ng ilaw.

Bet ko yung effect na busog na busog sya! haha! Wag nyong gutumin si christmas tree!

Think out of the box… Use ribbons, flowers at kung ano ano pa. Si Tessa nga nakita ko nilalagay mga accessories nya! Yan ang multipurpose!

Here’s my xmas tree for our jungle theme!

I used a lot of old stuff from my past years. Yung ball i usually color nalang again. So I chose red para ala APPLE sa adam and eve.

The vines para may gubat level

And yes, dahon! Yan yung galing sa floral arrangement somewhere. haha!

We bought some new balls na ibang size para may variation but some, hindi parin ako nacontento i applied spray adhesive then ginulong sya sa glitter.

And last yung mga roses na giant. I know nawala sya na jungle theme at nagmukha syang “country” theme but bet ko sya so walang pakealamanan ng trip! haha!

Next up! Gift wrappers!

I am fanatic about paperstuff..wrappers included. If i can be like Tori Spelling’s mom na may gift wrapping room sa mansion nila gagawin ko. Pero malabo yun. haha!

Every year, I wrap each and every present i give. And may art yan. Si mudak ko kasi dati may flowershop nung bagets ako so best in ribbons and wrapping ang ganap ko.

This year and theme nga jungle so inisip ko dapat mala natural levels. Pero hindi naman na mukhang galing gubat kasi baka hindi maintindihan nung ibang papadalhan ko ng regalo.

So i started with the base or the gift wrapper. Honestly, i don’t stick to buying wrappers talaga minsan kasi kamahalan and winawasak lang ng mga bagets. So i use iba ibang materials. One year i used crepe paper. This year i am using… the paper used for pattern making! haha! Mura lang sya although you have to use 2 sometimes kasi manipis. But kahit 4 layers pa masmura parin sa giftwrapper.

I always do the X box. meaning i wrap the gift all angles ng ribbon. But since natural nga, i decided to go to the 99 shop in galleria and buy rope and yarn! I combined them both!

So i made double loops since yarn sya ang manipis para may effect!

For my ribbon( usually satin or plastic) I decided to use paper twine! You can buy in divisoria different sizes. Bongga sya kasi easy to make bows. i usually make 4 side bows, 6 or 8 depending on gaano kalaki yung gift. it’s quite easy to make a bow with papertwine. Just remember to establish the fourcorners (kung beginner, after the four loops na top, bottom, left and right itali nyo na ng yarn before proceeding with more loops). Then add more loops pa kung bet nyo. End by securing the middle with yarn since masikip naman d sya masisight. So just arrange the loops to hide it after.

I have some leftover ribbons from last year, so i added them as mini toppers.

Last is, i told my manong to look for twigs. SERYOSO! haha! I cleaned it and after attached it to the gift!

Enjoy your Christmas preps! Ako inavail ko talaga ang pasko! haha!

Don’t worry will try to habol a video soon!

Much love,

I love nice chairs! Kung pwede ko lang sya lagay sa ibabaw ng mesa ko to be a centerpiece ginawa ko…. but masyadong maliit ang mesa ko or masyadong malaki ang chair! haha!

Events such as weddings, debuts, and other events.. mahirap talaga maghanap ng chairs. We experienced this for Wyanet’s wedding. The only chair they can offer are the black chairs of the hotel or Tiffany chairs. Bongga naman ang Tiffany but super common.

That’s why my friend Florence decided to make a business out of it! She brought in my fave GHOST CHAIRS!

You can rent her chairs for events!
