H&M! Forever21 for the feminine touch, Topshop for formal or edgy wear, and sometimes mix and match it with items from What A Girl Wants, Maldita, Mango. Wow, that’s a lot of favorites!

Zara’s are over the top gorgeous. Michael Antonio’s for being trendy, a pair of Louboutins would be expensive but worth it. I’d put them in a glass case for days. Haha.

Funny water is part of the choices. I am not a huge fan of water – ask my friends. It is just tooo bland! Haha. I know, I know. It is just simply unhealthy. Juices number one – second, water

By changing, I usually just have it colored. Two months ago to Golden Brown. Now the roots are showing. I hate when that happens.

What was your favorite memory as a fetus?
Listening to my mom’s voice somewhere.

I’m the one planning for our 2nd anniversary and my boyfriend gave me a budget of 1500. im out of ideas on where to eat here in cebu since he likes buffet and he’s very picky. please help me find restos with good food that is not so pricey just within 1500.

Hmm.. Pino – Filipino restaurant in Lahug, has buffet meals everyday at P300-500. The place itself is fancy so that would be nice If your boyfriend likes Japanese, try Mikado at P450. Waterfront’s also okay but The Port is kind of crowded. Hope I’ve helped!

What’s all about The Modern Toilet Restaurant in Mongkok Hongkong?
I don’t think people go there to eat. The place itself is a landmark, a historical spot – a tourist place! Lovely!

Who is your crush?
My boyfriend. Or anyone who looks like him Hahah. Joke.

What makes you unique?
Because I have an obscene obsession over shopping bags and magazines. And oh, my eyes.

If you could ask George W. Bush one question what would it be?
Who is your stylist?

No work, at home, scanning through my magazines while our baby shih-tzu Basti is snuggling my feet and my boyfriend is beside me watching cable. Oh, yes, and room service, too.
