When my friend Andrea made me take photos of their hot product (I mean that literally), I couldn’t resist telling you all about this!

SHIGA (please read the rest of the text below) is made out of chili garlic sauce. It is naturally for chili lovers out there. I tried a pinch – get this – a pinch and my entire esophagus burned for an entire week. Exag, I know. But you get me.

Email me at kristine@theglamarazzi.com if you have any questions. This retails at P150 but perhaps I could be wrong.

Perhaps I will write the quintessential new year’s resolutions list but for now, let me show photos of our latest holiday trip in where else but Cagayan de Oro! Hahaha. I need to be somewhere else besides Cagayan de Oro this year. Tsk tsk. Now that could be one new year thing.  

Happy Holidays!

The annual Christmas Party of the company that has been planned since the start of December went underway last December 12 at the Maribago Bluewater, Mactan.

Why company decided to hold a Christmas party at the beach is beyond me but in all honesty, I can really see that everyone had fun. My point was that during the entire 2009 phase, we all have had parties at beaches – Costabella, Portofino, etc – and spending Christmas on the beach doesn’t make the last party of the year any different. Oh well. We did have fun, begrudgingly. Haha.

The best part about Christmas is not shopping for my friends’ and family’s gift – but wrapping their gifts! I try very hard to not make their gifts look commercial even if they are eventually going to rip them apart. Still — this year, I made the christmas cards.

(Photo above) Made of recycled paper torn off from my recycled notebook, I glued/pasted (yes I still have that old school paste that costs P8) dried rose petals on the front. Hahaha nothing fancy but I really don’t like those commercial cards! I hope your Christmas wrapping moment is a social event, too.

Everyone’s getting married in December and january. Must be good feng shui for 2010.

This isn’t difficult, really. All I had was:

A pair of black gloves
A needle
Black thread
Pins
Faux pearls

I can’t really see myself in leather so I got the cotton-type gloves that are usually used for weddings. I got lucky, too, when I had a handful of pearls, beads and sequins that can be sewn on them.

The best part about doing this is that you can totally customize the look of each glove – who cares if they don’t match! I got to use this at the Christmas dinner we had at the Alejandro’s with the department.   Read the rest of this entry »
