Fifth Stop: Gwangalli Beach

2011-12-07T14:18:00.001+08:00

Once we arrived at Gwangalli Beach, I was surprised because their beaches are in the city. They are many restaurants, hotels and shops along the beach and its beautiful sandy beach. Gwangalli Beach more beautiful and quiet than Haeundae Beach.

Information

Gwangalli Beach is 1.4 km long, 64m wide, and is famous for its fine sand. This area has undergone a water cleaning program, and as a result, the water of the beach is pristine. The clean waters of this are also attract many fishermen. You can prepare raw fish dishes on the spot, right after you have caught the fish. For those looking for some action, there is the Olympic Yacht Rental where you can rent yachts. You can also enjoy water-skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, and other exciting water sports. On the beach there is an outer concert stage where the Busan Ocean Festival and other various events are held. The area has a cultural center, a museum, theaters for plays and movies, an art gallery, TV station, and famous Korean and non-Korean fashion brand name shops. It is a popular gathering place for young people in their 20s and 30s.

Fourth Stop: Yongdusan Park

2011-12-07T13:58:00.001+08:00

Yongdusan Park is very near to our hotel so it's very accessible to us to visit the area. This is great for rest and family bonding.

Busan Tower

Information

Yongdusan Park, one of the most popular mountains in Busan Yongdusan in downtown Busan, is one of the 3 well-known mountains in Busan. Its old name is Songhyunsan, which means a mountain has a view of the sea through the dense fine tree forest. Later the name has changed into Yongdusan. It came from its shape, which is similar to dragon head and people thought it has a spirit to defeat enemies coming over the sea.

Statue of the Great general Lee Sunsin

On the mountain were shrine built by Japanese people during Japanese colonial role, but now are Cheokhwabi monument (the stone monument to the exclusion of foreigners from the country), Chunghontap (memorial tower for Korean war victims), 4.19 Revolution monument (the student's anti-government revolt), the statue of General Lee Sunsin(the great commander in Joseon Dynasty period(1392-1910)) and Busan tower.

During Korea war, displaced people built houses on it even on the top, but 2 times of big fires took all them away making it bald mountain. Since then, fierce efforts to plant trees have created such beautiful park. The name of the park was once Unam park in the time of the Liberal Party’s ruling but it went back to Yungdosan park after April revolution (1960). It is a place with beautiful scenery. Especially the night landscape from Busan tower is magnificent.

Under the lighthouse of this resort is a rock called Sinseon Rock, named after the myth that gods and goddesses came down here to relax. At this rock is a figure called Mangbuseok, named after the story of a woman who waited for her husband who had been taken to Japan. Taejongdae is also famous for the ritual of praying for rain, performed when there are droughts, and rain on the 10th of lunar May is called the 'Taejong Rain'.

This plaza was named 75 as it was built in 1975. It is a small park where you can appreciate the great view of the sea.

First Stop: Busan Aquarium

2011-11-19T18:31:00.001+08:00

Our first stop was Busan Aquarium. I can’t wait to see their aquarium because I want to compare the one in Singapore. I was surprised that Busan Aquarium is bigger than in Singapore. They have more different under water species

Information

The Busan Aquarium contains over 35,000 species of fish, algae, reptiles, and amphibians. This state-of-the-art facility is one of Korea’s top aquariums. The aquarium covers an area of 36,000 m2 and is spread over 3 underground levels and features an outdoor park. On the first underground level is a souvenir shop and several places to eat, while the B2 and B3 levels showcase the various exhibits. The third underground level boasts an 80m main (seabed) tunnel. The tunnel experience resembles a walk along the ocean floor with various sea creatures swimming above. This is a very popular area of the aquarium and is sure to amaze visitors. The simulator also stimulates the imagination and provides a unique feeling of life on the ocean floor.

South Korea-Busan Tour

2011-11-02T21:01:00.000+08:00

My mom and I love to travel. Our next destination was Busan in South Korea. We flew with Cebu Pacific Air. Cebu Pacific Air offers low fare for its destination. Our trip cost Php 3,000 only. Very cheap! HAHAHA!...Check their low fares here.

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea. The city is famous for its seafood and beaches. Honestly, I don't have any idea about the city. All I know is they have a cool weather which is I like. We took the city tour bus which you can travel the city in just one ticket.

It costs Php 450 or 10,000 won

You can use this in Haeundae and Taejongdae Tour in just one ticket.Very Affordable, right?

The bus has a LCD TV gives the tourist information. Sosyal! HAHAHA!

I was able to take a picture in the bus with umbrella. It's raining that time. Wrong timing."]

Busan City Tour Bus is convenient and hassle free for the tourist like me because you don't need to take a taxi which is too much expensive for you to see the city. This bus will take you to the tourist destination in Busan. You can continue to travelling in Busan by taking the next bus after your sightseeing.

They have scheduled time when the bus will arrived to pick you up and transfer you to the next destination. I was surprised that they are "on time". I remembered there was a time we missed the next bus, we are running and trying to make "para" just to make the bus stopped. Sadly, we missed the bus and wait for the next bus to arrived.

More pictures about our tour on my next blog. Hope you like it.

Break Up Lines

2011-10-22T21:54:00.000+08:00

**Calachuchi Bahaghari went from being “In a relationship” to “Single”**. Sabay may drawing ng isang maliit na puso sa dulo. Isa sa mga post na lintik kung makatawag ng atensyon. Lalo na kung kilala mo ang taong yun at ang jowa niya. Tipong sumikat ang love team nila dahil sa maka-diabetes na ka-sweetan. Couples shirt kung saan ang nakaprint ay mukha ng bawat isa. Holding hands while kumakandirit. Magkadikit na pisngi ang profile pic nila sa FB. I love you messages sa text, sa call, sa twitter, sa status, sa email, sa YM pati na din sa telegrama. Cherry nalang sa kanilang mga bun-bunan ang kailangan, pwede na silang panghimagas.

Dont get me wrong. Walang masama dun. In fact, Hanga ako sa mga taong hindi alintana ang iba sa pagpapadama ng kanilang pag-ibig. Pero paano kung biglang matapos ang dating akala mo ay walang hanggan? Paano kung naglasang hilaw na bayabas ang dating sintamis ng bukayo? Paano kung naihipan ng malakas na hangin ang apoy? Paano na kung wala na kayo?

Okey lang siguro kung mutual ang decision. Tamang “apir” lang, naka move on na kayo pareho. Parang walang nangyari. Pero paano kung siya ay kumakanta na ng “ayawan na! ayawan na!” samantalang ikaw ay nagtatago parin sa likod ng punong mangga dahil akala mo, tuloy pa ang laro niyo nang tagu-taguan.

Katatapos ko lang panoorin ang 500 days of summer. Ulit. Isa sa mga pinakamatingkad na eksena dun e nung nakipagbreak si summer kay tom. Medyo brutal. Biglaan. Ni walang ideya ang lalake na yun na ang katapusan. Nakuha pang kumain ng pancake ni summer habang dahan-dahang lumulubog ang puso ni tom papunta sa kanyang baga. Sabagay, bumawi naman si babae ng sabihing “Dont go, youre still my bestfriend”. Ayos. Parang sinubukan mong pagdikitin ang basag na plato gamit ang kanin sa kaldero.

May tama bang paraan o linya sa pakikipaghiwalay?

Heto ang ilan sa kanila:

1. IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME – Anak ng hilaw na sayote. Isa sa pinaka lumang litanya. Sa sobrang luma nito, pwede na siyang itabi sa “I shall return” ni Mcarthur. Kung may iba pang chicks noon, malamang ito ang ginamit ni Adan para makipagbreak kay Eba. Ikaw naman pala ang may problema, bakit sakin ka nakikipaghiwalay? E di dapat ang iwanan mo e yang sarili mo. Schizo kaba o naka coccaine?

2. YOU’RE TOO PERFECT FOR ME – Applicable lang ito dun sa mga jowa na halos nasa kanila na ang lahat. Gwapo/Maganda. Matalino. Mayaman. May magandang career. Magaling sa sports. May alam sa music. May sense of humor. Mabait. Samakatuwid. Noong umulan ng magagandang katangian, may dala siyang planggana. Siya lang ata ang anak ng Diyos. Hindi ito pwede sa bf/gf mong ex-con o drug pusher.

3. IT’S NOT WORKING – Isa sa pinakamalabo. Bakit “not working”?. Sira ba tayo na parang alarm clock na hindi tumutunog? O cellphone na hindi nakakareceive ng call kahit may signal? Ano? Kelangan bang palitan ang mga battery natin?

4. MAYBE WE’RE NOT MEANT TO BE – Naks. Paano mo naman nasabi yun? Dahil ba hindi tayo nagtagpo sa ilalim ng gabi na puno ng bituin? Dahil ba magkaiba ang sinagot natin sa compatibility quiz sa internet? Dahil ba vegetarian ka at nasusuka ako sa chopsuey? O dahil ayon sa horoscope e hindi tugma ang mga zodiac sign natin? Diba may bagong sign na nadagdag? Icheck mo ulit. Baka this time. Meant to be na.

5. I THINK WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF AS FRIENDS – Sabagay. Kaya nga kita hinahatid sundo araw-araw. Kaya kita dinadalaw sa bahay niyo. Kaya kita tinetext ng iloveyou bawat oras. Kaya nga kita nililibre ng sine at dinner linggo-linggo. Kaya kita nireregaluhan ng alahas at sapatos kahit wala na akong makain. Kasi alam ko, sa bandang huli, FRIENDS parin tayo. Pakyu.

6. I’M NO LONGER HAPPY – Bakit? Teka. May mga bago naman akong knock-knock. Promise, di ko na uulitin yung joke tungkol sa contest ng hapon, intsik at pilipino sa pagpapalakasan ng putok. Mag-aaral ako ng juggling. Matuto din akong mag-magic.Magpaparetoke ako para maging kamukha ni Mr. Bean.

7. I FELL OUT OF LOVE – Asan? Baka pwede pang damputin? Pag-pagan lang natin. Wala pa namang 5 minutes o dumaan na eroplano.

8. I NEED SPACE – isa pang malabo. Bakit? Buong araw ba tayong naglalakad sa isang masikip na eskenita? Pero kung gusto mo talaga ng space, halika, ilalaglag kita sa gitna ng pacific ocean.

9. MAYBE IT’S NOT THE RIGHT TIME – Parang linya lang sa kantang “somewhere down the road”. We had the right love at the wrong time. Teka. Kelan ba ang tamang panahon? Pwede bang sabihin mo para mai-ekis ko sa kalendaryo namin? Siguro naniniwala siyang magugunaw na ang mundo sa 2012.

10. I HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF PRIORITIES – Sinabi ko bang umabsent ka sa trabaho para makapamasyal tayo sa Luneta? Binabawasan ko ba ang sahod mo na parang SSS at PAGIBIG? Kinumbinsi ba kita kahit minsan na iwanan ang pamilya mo at magpalit ng career bilang suicide bomber?

11. I DON’T SEE MY FUTURE WITH YOU – Ok lang sakin to. May lahi pala sila ng manghuhula. Itanong mo ang kombinasyon na tatama sa lotto bago ka umuwi.

12. YOU’RE NOT THE ONE – Patay tao diyan. Solid hit ito. Kumbaga, hindi ikaw ang tamang susi para sa isang kandado na tulad niya. So hindi bubukas. Hayaan mo na. Tandaan, ang mga kandado ay bagay lamang sa bilibid.

13. WE’RE TOO SIMILAR – Hala. Sobra naman daw ang compatibility niyo. Nagiging predictable at boring na ang relasyon. Hayaan mo na, tanggapin mo nalang pag sinabihan ka ng ganun. Sabay regaluhan mo ng aso. Pakasalan niya kamo. Ewan ko lang kung maging “too similar” pa. Hayop yun. Tao siya.

14. WE’RE TOO DIFFERENT – Sala sa init. Sala sa lamig. Masyado naman kayong magkaiba kaya daw hindi nagwowork. Ano bang gusto ng BF mo? Parehas kayong may bigote? Ano ba gusto ng GF mo? Pareho kayong gumagamit ng sanitary napkin?

15. YOU DESERVE SOMEONE BETTER – Bakit? Higanteng teddy bear ba ako na premyo sa Timezone at kulang ang ticket na napanalunan mo?

16. WE’VE GROWN APART – Ano tayo? Sanga ng punong acacia?

17. I DON’T SEE MYSELF IN A RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW – tang ina ka. Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi??

18. WE SHOULD CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS – aruy. Sabagay, kung sa carinderia nga, di pwedeng puro adobo nalang ang ulamin mo. Try mo din yung piniritong isda na kahapon pa naghihintay na may bumili.

19. MAYBE THERE’S SOMEONE ELSE FOR BOTH OF US – oo naman. Gusto mo ireto kita sa tropa ko? Si Jograd. Mabait yun. Kalalabas niya lang ng manila city jail. Rape with murder ang kaso. Magkakasundo kayo. Try mo lang. Ano ngayon kung puro tattoo sa braso? Art yun. And dont judge a book by its cover.

20. WE’RE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE AS WE WE’RE BEFORE – ibig sabihin di na siya tao. Bampira na siya. O werewolf na may six pack abs.

Umpisa palang yan. Syempre may secondary ammunition pa.

1. I HOPE WE COULD STILL BE FRIENDS – Oo naman. Buburahin nga lang kita sa Facebook, Twitter at cellphone ko. Susunugin ko din mga litrato mo para gawing bonfire. At wag na wag kanang dadaan sa bahay. Bibili ako ng bagong aso. Yung hindi ka kilala. Para lapain ka kung sakaling maligaw ka samin. Pero friends parin tayo.

2. I STILL CARE – ibig sabihin nito, wag mo daw bawiin yung mga mamahaling gamit na niregalo mo sa kanya.

3. I LOVE YOU, BUT IM NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU – Astig. Nakuha niyang durugin ang puso mo ng pinong-pino na tila pulbos ng espasol dahil lang sa salitang “IN”. Kahit sa scrabble hindi pwede yun eh.

4. I WILL TREASURE YOU FOREVER – ako din, i will treasure you forever. Pwede ko bang hingiin ang bungo mo para gawing souvenir??

5. YOU WILL REALIZE THAT IT’S FOR THE BETTER – siguro nga. Dadating ang panahon na matatangap ko din. Salamat ha. For the mean time, pwede ba kitang saksakin ng bread knife sa leeg? Pang-alis stress lang.

6. YOU’RE LIKE A BROTHER/SISTER TO ME – kung trip mo ding halikan ang kapatid mo tulad ng sa atin. Patingin ka sa psychiatrist.

7. IT’S NOT THAT THERE’S SOMEONE ELSE (FOR NOW) – wala naman daw siyang iba. as of this moment. habang kausap ka niya at mahigpit ang hawak mo sa tinidor at kutsilyo.

8. IT’S OVER, PLEASE UNDERSTAND – oo nga naman. Intindihin mo siya. Mukhang hirap na hirap si gago sa pinagdadaanan niya. Sana maintindihan ka rin niya pag sapilitan mo siyang pinainom ng insecticide.

9. MAYBE IT’S STILL US IN THE FUTURE – astig. Pansamantala muna niyang dudukutin ang puso mo at ilalaglag sa blender. Tapos ibabalik niya sayo ang baso ng dinuguan shake kalakip ang pag-asa na baka bukas o sa kabilang buhay e magiging kayo uli. Sarap no.

10. YOU’RE STILL MY BEST FRIEND – the best. Ayaw mo nun? Bestfriend ka pa rin niya? So ibig sabihin, ililibre mo parin siya at obligado kang magregalo tuwing may okasyon. Anong kapalit? Ikaw lang naman ang unang makakaalam kung sino ang bago niyang jowa. Ikaw din ang unang makakarinig ng mga “sweet moments” nila nung ipinalit sayo, habang ikaw ay busy sa paghihigpit ng tali sa iyong leeg na nakasabit sa ceiling fan.

Pagkatapos mong palitan ang pangalan niya sa phonebook bilang Lucifer, gawing scratch paper ang mga sulat niya pag math exam, idikit ang picture niya sa mga wanted posters, ituro siya bilang prime suspect sa holdapan ng mga computer shop, idelete sa mga social networking sites, ipagkalat na ipinanganak siyang may buntot na parang unggoy. Aminin mo. Ilang beses mo paring chinecheck ang profile niya sa FB gamit ang isang dummy account. Natural lang yun. Alangan namang maghanda ka pa ng pansit at biko dahil iniwan ka ng jowa mo. Di madaling lumimot. Pero lilipas din yan. Parang gutom. Mahapdi sa simula. Pero nawawala din. Dadating ang oras, matatawa ka nalang kung bakit mo pinagaksayahan ng luha ang gung-gong na yun.

Siguro wala namang swabeng linya na aaktong parang anaesthesia. Mabango lang sa pandinig ang ilan. Pero pag narealize na ng utak kung anong nais mong sabihin (depende kung slow ang pinagsabihan), iisa lang ang resulta noon. Konting respeto lang ang kailangan. Kung pwedeng personal, wag nang daanin sa text o tawag. Mas malala kung missed call lang. Ano yun? May secret code kayo? “Love, pag nag missedcall ako sayo ng 13 times, ibig sabihin nun, break na tayo ha??, love you muah!!”.

Hindi lahat ng nakipaghiwalay sa kanilang mga karelasyon ay manloloko. At hindi lahat ng nanatili sa kanilang “relationship status” ay matino.

Ang nabigong pag-ibig ay parang sugat. Patakan mo ng kalamansi. Para di ka maiputan ng ibong adarna.

Online Shop

2011-10-02T20:52:00.000+08:00

Lately, I'm curious about online shopping. Some of there items are not available here in the Phillipines and cheaper than in mall stores. Here are some stores I like:

1. Digital Traincase - They sell Nyx Make-up and Nail polish. They also sell Ecotools make- up brush. I bought Nyx Cream Blush here. I love cream blush but the packaging of Nyx products are not good. They have a very low price.

2. Carefree Shopper - They have different products make-up, perfume, bags, fitflops, nail polish and many more. I bought EOS lip balm here. I find there product expensive but in a good condition and AUTHENTIC. The seller is from Bacolod that's why the shipping fee was expensive.

3. StyleBreak - I think the owner of this shop is from the popular fashion designers Laureen Uy and Lizz Uy. I find their clothes expensive but fashionable (we all know). One day, I will buy some of their clothes. They also have stores in Trinoma, Robinson Galleria (50th Avenue), Makati, SM Iloilo and CDO. Many celebrities wear they clothes.

4. Asian Vogue - I super love their shoes and bags. I think their products are came from Korea or China. I definitely recommend their shop. More discount! Very Fashionable!

5. Dress Me Up Too - This is my second favorite online shop. I love their clothes and shoes. There products are came from China, Korea and Thailand. Very fashionable! but expensive shipping fee (Php 125 depending on the location). I'm looking forward to buy their products.

These are my top 5 online shop. Happy shopping!

Emirates needs huge number of flight attendants

2011-08-29T12:47:00.000+08:00

GOOD NEWS to all aspiring flight attendants like me...=)

Cabin crew with an Emirates A380 superjumbo at the Berlin Air Show. The airline will boost the number of cabin crew by a third to 16,000. That means adding 4,000 new flight attendants.

Dubai: Emirates, the largest international airline, is advertising 4,000 cabin-crew jobs via online music provider Spotify Ltd as it strives to attract international staff for the world's biggest fleet of Airbus superjumbos.

Emirates needs to boost flight attendant numbers by a third to 16,000 during the year through March as it adds five double-deck, 517-seat A380s, for a total of 20. Ads on Facebook may follow as the Dubai-based company seeks English-speaking, tech-savvy recruits aged from 21 to 30.

Emirates aims to leverage its status as long-haul market leader to become employer of choice among would-be cabin crew, akin to Apple Inc in computing and Nike Inc in sporting goods, advertising manager Sardar Khan said.

"We've growing rapidly and that presents a massive hiring challenge," Khan said. "Apple and Nike are aspirational brands and we like to think of ourselves as in that league. Your friends are going to think, wow, you're working for them?"

Recognition

Apple rose three places to 17th in last year's 100-company Best Global Brands ranking from Interbrand, posting the biggest gain in recognition, while Nike advanced one spot to 25th. The maker of the iPhone also came 18th in a 2010 ranking of the 50 most attractive employers from recruitment-branding consultant Universum. Coca-Cola Co and Google Inc were placed top of the two surveys, while airlines were absent from both.

Like other Gulf states, Dubai is heavily reliant on foreign workers, who make up 90 per cent of population.

John Strickland, an aviation analyst at JLS Consulting Ltd in London says: "A flight I went on to Dubai in 2010 had British, Malaysians and Brazilians in the crew. Emirates offers a reasonable package."

Emirates flight attendants start on a basic annual salary of about Dh47,000, plus hourly flying pay, a fixed monthly cash sum based on their role and competencies, free housing and transport, and an annual payment from a profit-sharing plan.

The 30-second ad on Spotify matches songs with reasons to seek a job at Emirates, depicting the attractions of Dubai to a background of Black's Wonderful Life and the chance to work with multilingual crew to Sister Sledge's We are Family.

Spotify offers access to 15 million songs and claims ten million users in seven countries in Europe, where it's the No 2 digital-music platform after Apple's iTunes, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. It debuted in the US last month.

"Spotify has the X-factor in that it's perceived as a dynamic brand with a product that's regarded as best of breed," said Mark Mulligan, an independent new media and music analyst in London, adding that the company is luring major advertisers after establishing the validity of a model that, while online, initially "looked and felt pretty much like radio."

Emirates hasn't given up more traditional hiring methods and will hold 77 recruitment fairs through November 5, almost two per day, in countries as far apart as the Armenia, Paraguay, New Zealand and the UK. English is the only linguistic prerequisite, though the carrier employs 130 nationalities speaking 80 languages.

Intelligent move

Crew must also be educated to at least high-school level, be able to stretch 2.12 metres on tiptoe to reach emergency gear, and have "a positive attitude with the natural ability to provide excellent service working within a team environment, dealing with people from all cultures."

Online ad budgets are forecast to total $132.1 billion by 2015, almost double last year's $68.1 billion, and to comprise 22 per cent of total media spending, according to eMarketer, a New York-based digital media and marketing research firm.

"For Emirates, as a public-facing brand, being seen to experiment with these platforms is an intelligent move because it shows that they are willing to understand and connect with people on the topics they're interested in and in the places where they spend time," said Tim Callington, head of digital and social media at public relations firm Edelman.

Emirates has orders for 90 superjumbos with 45,000 seats and a list price of $34 billion. Each A380 needs 26 staff: four pilots, 20 flight attendants and two washroom workers who tend to premium shower cubicles. Its Boeing Co 777s require 16 crew.

The Arab carrier is building the fleet to establish Dubai as an inter-continental hub and win passengers from Air France- KLM Group, British Airways and Deutsche Lufthansa AG while fending off Qatar Air and Etihad. It will resist cutting flights as oil prices threaten the profitability of some destinations and instead aims to stir up demand with cheaper tickets, President Tim Clark said.

Dubai airport said yesterday that July passenger numbers rose 9.7 per cent to 4.7 million, with the US - where Emirates serves four cities — the second-fastest growing destination after Saudi Arabia. Dubai ranks as the world's fourth-busiest international terminal and aims to leapfrog Hong Kong into third place this year, with an estimated 51 million passengers.

The Basic 4 Skin Care Regimen

2011-07-30T12:31:00.000+08:00

Here are some tips to have a beautiful and flawless skin:

Step 1: Cleanse your skin.

First step is to clean your skin with your facial cleanser. Never go to bed with your make up on. NEVER! And never over cleanse your skin. Morning and evening are the best time to clean your skin. Here is some facial cleanser I got in some website.

Best Cleanser

1. Cetaphil Cleanser- Best for Sensitive Skin

2. Pond’s Cold Cream

3. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

4. Olay Foaming Face Wash

Step 2: Exfoliate

You should exfoliate your skin to remove your dead skin cells that tend to dull your complexion. You can use some scrubs, microdermabrasion and chemical peel products.

Best Facial Scrub

1. St. Ives Timeless Daily Microdermabrasion

2. Philosophy Microdelivery Peel Pads

Step 3: Toner

Some people don’t use toner like me. But now, I’m starting to use toner to tighten my pores and gives moisture to your skin.

Best Toner

1. Dickinson Pore Perfecting Toner- available at Healthy Options

Step 4: Moisturize

All skin type should moisturize their skin except to those with acne. Be careful to over moisturize because it clogs pores. You should have different moisturizer, one is for daylight. It should be UVB/UV to protect your skin from sunscreen. And the other one is for night time. You can also use eye cream to protect your eyes from wrinkles.

Best Moisturizer at Night

1. Olay Regenerist Micro- Sculpting Cream

Best Eye Cream

1. Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask

2. Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum

3. Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex

Step 5: Apply Sunscreen

The number 1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage. It also helps your skin from skin darkening and sun protection. You should never go out of your house without sunscreen. You can use your make up with SPF for sunscreen protection.

Review: Lip Ice of Mentholatum (Sheer Color-Strawberry)

2011-07-21T16:20:00.000+08:00

I want to share my new Lip care. Lately, I’m experiencing dry lips and chapped lips. Thank s to Project Vanity. I read their blog regarding this so I decided to try it and I bought Lip Ice with Sheer color-Strawberry.

It has a cute packaging and it's "pink".

I love the smell of strawberry. Yummy!

They also have Fragrance free.

As you can see, it's colorless but once you apply it on your lips it will change into natural sheer pink.

I love about this product:

The smell of strawberry.
It keeps your lips moisturized, smooth and healthy.
It has a gentle Beeswax formulation suitable even for very sensitive skin.
It changes color to a natural sheer pink according to individual lips.
Not too shiny
Packaging is cute, very small. You can carry with your purse.

I hate about this:

It's little bit pricey for a lip balm. It costs Php 145.00. But definitely, worth it.

Rate: 5/5

I recommend to try this one and their other lip product. More reviews soon.

Qatar Airways Open Day

2011-07-18T15:10:00.000+08:00

This is my first blog and I want to share to all the open day of some airline hires Filipino cabin crew. First airline is Qatar Airways. I will give you some details and what to expect on that day.

What: Qatar Airways Open Day

Where: Diamond Hotel Manila- Roxas Boulevard Cor. Dr,J Quintos St. Manila Philippines

When: July 23, 2011 (Saturday)

Time: 9:00am-12:00pm

What to Bring:

1. Updated CV/resume

2. One recent passport-sized

3. 4R picture (whole body) strictly no white background

(Photo Format: Stand facing the camera, feet together, hands relaxed by the sides and a warm open smile.)

What to expect:

1. Huge number of applicants whether they are fresh grad or with experience

2. Waiting for 1-2 hours

3. Once you submit your CV, the interviewer will ask some question like what is your nick name, what is your educational background. Simple as that. Then wait for their call if you’re in the short listed.

What to wear:

For Ladies: Business Attire (knee length skirt with blazer and closed shoes). I will advise with heels to make you look tall and sexy. Hair neatly tied back

For Gentlemen: Business suit with neck tie

Here are some tips from FlyGosh.

As I have mention earlier, a cabin crew job attracts thousands of applicants throughout the world. You WILL be competing among the best candidates. Most people have the impression that by having good looks (though it is a plus point); you will definitely get the job. Well I can tell you how wrong you are .If you have that impression, you will definitely fail. When airlines recruit, they are looking for someone who can embrace and propel the corporate image of their airline. So you need to be an all rounder especially your communication skills, your grooming, how well you work in a team and your passion towards flying.

So how do you make yourself stand out during the interview itself? The very first thing you have to do is to look presentable. When the interviewers look at you, first impression counts and it is extremely important. So make sure you dress up appropriately.

The moment you are there, you are being observed all the time. The way you speak, how you interact with others and how you carry yourself. Don’t be over confident as that can leave the impression that you are being arrogant. Be friendly, polite and courteous to both your interviewer and fellow candidates.

Your knowledge of the airline and that of the flight attendant job role will provide a great reference base upon which to be able to naturally answer any questions. By answering the question base on your experience, you’ll be able to provide consistency and accuracy in your answers without fabrication.

Hope I helped you in your application as a cabin crew. Like you, I’m also an aspiring to become cabin crew and I had so many applications I went but I never give up. I believe in the saying “NO PAIN, NO GAIN”

Good Luck to us. No matter what happens or how nervous we are in the interview, remember to SMILE! Be confident! :)
