I just came across this wikiHow while browsing for some kawaii Harajuku stuff. I’m not exactly doing this and I think I’m too old for it (though sometimes I wonder if I can pull it off) but I <3 everything kawaii and I think it's just kawaii posting this here. Lol.

How to Be Kawaii

1. Keep up with the latest trends by doing some research on the Internet. Columns like Tokyopop’s Kawaii Culture provide information on the latest kawaii trends.
2. Do not be afraid to stand out and be noticed. You will get some weird looks from other people.
3. Layer well - this is important. Also, wacky patterns are super. Wear as many colors together as you want and don’t care if your clothes clash.

SM Hypermarket was generous enough to sponsor an event for bloggers last July 3. It was a fun night. I was a bit shy and I wasn’t able to introduce myself to a lot of people but I did get to meet really friendly bloggers there. I also met Aileen Apolo, the organizer of the bloggers’ meet-up. She was really nice, Ali and I signed up for the event through her blog.

Hopefully next time we’ll be able to meet more people. I wasn’t able to post about this event before because I’m really tied up with my current project. Good thing we didn’t forget to attend because it was a good break from work. Ali and I weren’t able to prepare our blogger cards though. Oh, the picture below was from Cliquebooth.

Saturday:

Waking up early on a Saturday isn’t really ideal for me but yesterday I got up before 7am, earlier than my usual weekday routine. Ali and I went to Salcedo Saturday market. It was our first time to go there and the timing was perfect. It was Salcedo market’s 3rd anniversary, the atmosphere was festive and the weather seemed to cooperate since it wasn’t too hot. (more…)

Creativity that flows, ideas that fly, energy that jumps from print to web, to video to mobile and beyond — in one continuous motion…

That’s what Adobe’s third installment of Creative Suite is prepared to do. I must say that Adobe did a pretty neat job with it. Last Friday, we attended the official product launch of Adobe CS3 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Makati City. The Adobe team had a nice presentation to showcase the new features of Creative Suite 3. They say this is the most comprehensive set of creative tools of Adobe. Offered in six editions for print, web, video and mobile design, you now have more choices to explore your creative side.

If you’re a fan of the magic 8 ball, well I guess you’d be happy to know that there are Unazukins. They’re these cute dolls from Japan and helps you decide by either nodding or shaking its head. They resemble a matryoshka doll, y’know those Russian stacking dolls that you can place one inside the other? It is also said that an Unazukin is made to react to your voice so it seems to be more decisive than shaking your magic 8 ball for answers. (more…)

I was browsing through my e-mail and saw something from Northwest Airlines saying that ‘WorldPerks members have a chance to win a pair of roundtrip tickets to Tokyo, Japan and enjoy an enchanting day at Sanrio Puroland!’ You can get 1 raffle coupon for every PHP500 purchase through March 31, 2007 at Gift Gate, Sanrio, Segue or Swatch stores.

Wow! Sanrio Puroland. I’d love to go there. I’ve never been to Japan, (well I’ve been in Narita airport for a stop over but I guess that’s not counted) but my friend back in high school who used to have vacations in Japan, told me a lot of stories about the cool stuff she found there. She used to bring home cute items and weird candies. *lol* (Heya Kristine!) (more…)
