The 2nd Event...

For some of my friends, I'm sure they're thinking that it was the first event in my job. It's actually the second. The first one was just near our office and wasn't sure if anyone I know would be in that place. Probably I was too naive back at that time. :)

Beauty Upgraded.
Beauty Celebrated.
Beauty Experienced.

BEAUTY BY SM.

It was actually more of a relaunch of the Watsons Department stores format. Instead of the usual beauty area you see before, This was the new and improved beauty section at SM Department Stores. I'm sure a lot of you would think that it's not under Watsons but it is. So here are some pics of what I slaved over the past few days. Seeing those collaterals without the execution was too plain for me. But after seeing it on the gondolas, I was pretty happy and wow-ed also. :) I not being biased here, but the new format was really nice. I was thinking that they are probably following with the trend or format of the department stores abroad. Or probably, another Rustan's in the making. Anyways, enjoy the pics!:)

Oh, I almost forgot, I saw Jericho Rosales LIVE. Grabe! the girls or women should I say of all ages are nagtitilian!!! I would like to have a picture just for remembrance's sake but my feet hurts and I don't like crowded spaces. hahaa!:D He's not my crush anyway. hahaha!:)

Once again, enjoy the pictures!:D Those collaterals are what I've worked hard for... imagine the rush. but we made it:)



Sorry for the blurry pic but try to notice how many cellphones were out?


















The Amu'in posters! Actually if you purchase P1,500 and up inclusive of Spa Essentials and Amu'in products you get 15 min signature Amu'in spot massage for FREE!:)


















May funny kwento for this. This is actually called the VESTIBULE. I don't know what that is at first and they told me that it was for the door (entrance) I thought the vestibule was a big big big image covering the whole door and when we arrived at ORTIGAS DS, I said. Shux! bakit wala yung hinahabol kong vestibule!! I was envisioning it to be super big and all that! Yun pala it was just a small thingie!



Right VESTIBULE

Belle De Jour

Planners are very useful in our lives. Especially if you like your appointments and things to do in an organized notebook. But I think, the hype for the planner grew during the Starbucks earlier christmas years where they offer a free planner for around 21 stickers (21 drinks). The starbucks planner back then was very pretty and nice. People go crazy collecting stickers and fortunately (or unfortunately), I didn't bother. I just helped them fill up their cards while drinking my favorite, Iced White Chocolate or Green Tea Frap.

It was probably last year that I knew about the Belle de Jour Planner. I'm not sure where but I think I saw it online. Bought one. Used it for the whole year. Unfortunately, I was still not used to using these kinds of planners, I actually use the monthly calendars years before.

This year's Belle de Jour is way way way better! Anyways, I'll write more about it as we go along the pictures!:)


The Belle de Jour 2009 box! This year, they came up with the idea of selling it with the option of a box. It costs 20 pesos but I think it's worth it:) It has a silver bottom and a pink tom with the Belle de Jour logo.


The Belle de Jour 2009 and 2008! See, even the covers look great! The 2009 edition has more colors! And it looks more fun!:) Oh! and another thing that i like about the Belle de Jour 2009 is that you can "fold" it just like a springed notebook!:) great, isn't it?


This year's planner comes with Forget-me-not notepad and coupon holder in one! Just in case u didn't know, the Belle de Jour Planner comes with many many coupons that you could really use!:) I like the mix of the colors used in this year's planner.

The Belle de Jour planner comes with a lot of tips on how to maximize your planner, a page for your goals this 2009, vision statement page, someday maybe list, dream board, health checklist, menstrual tracker, birthday list (which i really like), vacation planner, christmas gift list, and a lot of tips!

See how colorful the pages are. Aside from better pages. the paper quality is also better this time. Honestly, I didn't like the paper quality from last year's planner. But this year, It is better (Or maybe, the colors are playing a trick on me!) hehe:)


Here is a picture of the Birthday List! Sometimes, I wish the space would be a bit bigger since some people have the same birthdays and I tend to cramp up their names in that space. But nevertheless, that was one part of the planner that I maximize:D


The planner itself. If you can see (I know the picture's small and blurry) aside from the ordinary timelines, you have a MIT list below and errand list on top. It's really a nice and useful planner if you really use it.


This is what I like best about the Belle de Jour Planner! COUPONS that I can really use! Last year's planner, I think I used around 5 or more coupons? or even MORE! I used up the CBTL coupons!!! Hey, who wouldn't like a Buy one Take one Ice blended drink, right?:) Aside from the drinks, CHEESECAKES at CBTL! hehe! I also used the coupon for a pair of Havaianas at all flip flops. Of course, the cupcakes by Sonja at Serendra. and many more!:) This year's planner comes with even more coupons!!! whee~ but wait! There's more! haha!

I also get this "discount/privilege"? card. with this card, I get to have a 5% discount on all services, 10%discount on hair care therapy, Earn points for credits and most importantly, I get to have a free haircut and hair therapy on my birthday with this card!

Isn't it nice? hehe! Can't wait for next year!:) Can't wait to use my planner na!:)

DiscPainter

Sometimes, before I log in my Yahoo Mail, I check those news in the center and I came across the article "Best Holiday Gifts for a Digital Man". Only one item caught my eye. It was the Dymo DiscPainter. If I'm not mistaken, Dymo used to be very really popular for those labels-making kit, where this mini machine that makes tiny labels where you punch letters to stick it to almost everything. Eversince label stickers were introduced to the computer users. Dymo's label-making kit wasn't that popular anymore.
I think this is another of their great ideas into action...The DYMO DiscPainter!

It costs around $280 and this is really nice. It paints images/labels or anything you want on the top of your disc. the catch: the top side should be inkjet-printable surface. Just like an ordinary printer where you can print documents, pictures etc. This DiscPainter prints discs! Just like an ordinary printer, the DiscPainter also has the options of Draft, Normal and Best!

This product could be added on my wishlist, but then again, I think I like the Canon Selphy more:)

Gift Ideas

I have been looking for the right gifts for my family. I was planning to give my Dad a pair of Fitflops. Finally the shoes with the built-in gym is available for the men!













For my Mom, my little sis told me that my Mom wanted some nightwear. Well, she was in-charge of that since her fashion sense is way better than mine and their taste match better than mine:)

For my lil sis, it was soooooo easy! I had so many options to choose from.

Either
1) a pixel skin by Speck

(in yellow mango color, this color on the web is different from actual)
it is actually called corncob yellow but we call it mango yellow!


or
2) Ipod Lego Mini Speaker

but since my lil sis has the 2nd gen Ipod Touch, I don't think she'd be needing this.




3) Something from Sanrio, of course a Cinamoroll thingy:)

In the end, the PixelSkin won coz it's a thing I'm sure my lil sis will love and use:)
after that I found the QQ speakers she wanted so yahoo! two gifts in a day:)

For my brother, it's so hard to give him a gift,
He has several perfumes, his interests are photography, cars and scuba diving. I really wondered what can I give.

and then we saw this!





The Lego Ferrari FXX! Cool, It's not just a model car but a lego one too!:)

but the price range is just way too over our budget. We'll just have to think of other things:)






that's it for now, gotta sleep!
