Let's get crunk with Zalora!

If you've been my friend (or acquaintance) for more than a month, you'll probably know my love for the African-American music by now. Hiphop, Jazz, RnB, Slow Jams, Rap, you name it, I most definitely am listening to it.

Problem with me, though, is I cannot - for the life of me - pull off a decent hiphop outfit. It doesn't help that I don't think I look good in it so I just don't push. That doesn't mean, though, that I don't try to put together a look for it when I am bored.

Vero Moda pants, Martina Martina cuff, Feiyue hi-cut sneakers, Skull Candy headphones, Capital G dogtag, Toy Watch watch, Capital G hoody tee

So, what do you think about the look I made? All the stuff you see there are available in Zalora. If you find anything interesting, you can always use my voucher code, Aletotski0 (Aletotski[zero]), to get a 5% discount on your purchase.

Saving the earth one car at a time.

In today's day and age, convenience has been the foremost priority of almost all people. End result is, well, damaging the environment. I am not trying to sound really intellectual or environment-friendly here - although I think that I am because I rarely use plastic (yay me!) - but I think it's safe to say that we all need to start taking care of Mother Earth. I mean, with what's happening around the world right now? We should be doing our part.


The guys over at Parklean Crew Waterless Carwash have been doing their part in saving the environment. How? Well, for one, they offer waterless carwash. I know a lot will be asking how this one is possible and the answer lies in Freedom Waterless Carwash Solution.

This all-organic, biodegradable product from the United States has given the Parklean crew the chance to save 50 gallons of water per car washed but at the same time, provide a cleaning service like no other. Not only will this product clean your car but it will also leave your parking space clean and dry.

Another thing that makes Parklean Crew Waterless Carwash different from other carwash? You can experience their services while at the comfort of your homes. Yes, they're the ones who will go to your place for the carwash. With their phone-in delivery, you'll never have to leave your couch for a carwash on a Sunday afternoon.

Here are some photos of a Parklean crew at work (all photos taken from their Facebook page):




As of the moment, Parklean Crew Waterless Carwash offers their services exclusively for condominium residents from Salcedo and Legaspi Villages in Makati.

For more information about their services, you can call them at 904-6889, 0915-9697469 or 0929-3245501 or like their Facebook fan page at https://www.facebook.com/parklean. You can also e-mail them at parklean.crew@gmail.com.

Weird fashion trend I do not get.

I am not a fashionable person at all. I wear a pair of shorts, a shirt and a pair of flats all the freakin' time. I can't even wear a dressy blouse on broad daylight because I'd feel overdressed even if I paired it with jeans so I'd totally understand if you bash me for saying the things I will be saying but I would just like to share my observation and hope that someone else shares the same thoughts I have.

(I can't even search the top I will be referring to without Googling it and even my keywords were wrong.)


So apparently, they're called cutout tops, not top cutouts (which is what I Googled).

Anyway, I don't really get cutout tops, especially this kind. The ones that have cutouts at the back, at the sides and even on the upper chest, I get. They make your look sexier or edgier, whatever it is you prefer but these tops that have cutouts on the shoulders? I really don't understand. Is it supposed to help you not get "jabar" when it's too hot during the day?

I know that fashion doesn't need to make sense but I would like to at least understand why it looks that way.

Pleasant surprise c/o Zalora

Last Saturday night, while hanging out with Brianna and my babydaddy, I heard someone call out my name. It was weird because one, I don't get that much visitors here at home and two, it was late/early, depending on how you want to look at it. When I answered the door, I saw the Zalora delivery guy with my package:


Like before, I still love their packaging. Those boxes, alongside everything else they offer with the merchandise (30 days return, free shipping nationwide, same day delivery, cash on delivery, etc) proves how much they value their customers.

Anyway, that wasn't what surprised me because I already knew all of that while I was browsing their online catalogue. What surprised me was the fact that the delivery guy arrived at 8:00 on a Saturday evening. I knew that couriers deliver during Saturdays but I always receive my package before lunchtime so a delivery at 8pm really surprised me. Kudos to the delivery guy and kudos to Zalora!

Don't forget to use my coupon code, Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)], when you check out for discounts.

#59. If we crossed paths at the mall and I didn't say hi, don't take it personally. I have really poor eyesight but I hate wearing eyeglasses and I can't put on contacts for the life of me. I just can't see you. That and I don't really look at people's faces unless I have to talk to them.

Still crushing on John Prats

I've stopped crushing on John Prats after his G-mik days because I didn't really like how he looked like...until now (at least the Star Magic Ball 2012 a few nights ago).


He is soooo back!

Chic finds on Chic Finds.

One of the greatest online shops on Facebook I have bookmarked on my browser is Chic Finds. Chic Finds is run by the sister tandem, Queenie and Tin Contreras. Their shop consists of pre-loved items that need new homes and brand new imported items, mostly pre-orders.

Here are some of their products:


but what I love most are their Casio watches:


I know what you're going to say: There are a lot of online shops offering these watches. The difference with Chic Finds is that they offer these watches at a relatively cheaper price because the shipping fee is inclusive with the price of their watches. And because of this, I will definitely be getting my Casio from them one of these days.

I can bet that you will find the chicest finds in Chic Finds so go ahead and add them on Facebook and start browsing their products. You will love them as much as I do, I know it.

I can exceed my limitations!

Before 2011 ended, I made a goal for myself to finish on 2012. I went as far as converting it into a S.M.A.R.T. goal. The goal is to run (and of course, finish) my first ever 5k marathon. I kept this goal in mind every single day since 2012 started and everyday, I would do little steps that would help me achieve this: I (online) window-shopped for running shoes, I actually purchased my first "official" running shorts, ran a 3k fun run, all those stuff when finally, an opportunity to run 5k presented itself.

My cousins and I were talking about joining the Outbreak Manila fun run back in April 2012 in Nuvali. Long story short, we forgot to register. The great thing about it, though, after a couple of months, they've announced another Outbreak Manila run that will actually happen in Manila. Outbreak BGC happened last July 28, 2012 at the Bonifacio Global City open grounds (near Mercato). I have my experience chronicled here.

I didn't know that Outbreak BGC was a 5k run prior to the event. I just heard the emcee of the event say it when my sister and I were waiting for our wave to run. It was a pleasant surprise and right then and there, I knew that I wanted to finish this run more than ever.

It was a great run except I didn't get to verify if I was one of the top finishers right away. August 3, the Outbreak Manila Facebook page posted the final list of the top finishers and...well...


That's me on number one! And I even have a medal to prove it:


Not only did I finish my first 5k this year and attained my goal, I even finished on top! Talk about exceeding my limitation!

My most favorite sports enthusiast as of the moment has got to be Kuya Kim Atienza. The guy suffered a heart attack last year and a year after it, he ran a full 42k marathon. As if that wasn't enough, he participated in the Cebu Ironman a few months after his 42k! You wouldn't even think that he had a heart attack if you only knew of his achievements this year. If he could exceed his limitations having had a heart attack the previous year, those of us who have healthy hearts could definitely do it, too!

I bet that Kuya Kim, too, takes his odor protection seriously and that is one of the reasons why he can focus on his workout. Good thing, I take this one seriously, too. Imagine an unhygienic me, running the course of Outbreak BGC... I bet the zombies would run for their lives (Wow, how ironic).

Safeguard Active won't let bad hygiene distract you from exceeding your athletic limitations and in beating your personal best! To prove that, a bunch of people have been dared by Safeguard Active to beat Coach Rio's 20-meter dash record. Watch this #BeatCoachRio by Safeguard Active video to see if someone actually beat his 2.3-second record:


Since 2010, I've been a firm believer of goal setting and the impact of the Law of Attraction. My personal experience as well as these people's experiences are proof that whatever it is you put your mind into, you can achieve. You just need to have the determination and the perseverance to make it through and you will make it through.

The first gift I received this month is from Zalora!

I woke up yesterday feeling rather moody and PMS-y and I have a proof of it but Zalora gave me a very early birthday present that I forgot about the rut I was in:


It made me rush to the Zalora Philippines website, swear. I had to browse their online catalogue to find me a perfect gift. Right now, I only have one item on my cart:


How pretty is this Brazilea flipflops design, right? I've always needed a new pair of flipflops for when we go out of town or for swimming and this is the first pair I've fallen in love with since this pair so I think I am buying it. Will definitely use my birthday discount when I purchase my pair.

I am not the only person who can get a treat from Zalora. You can, too! Just use my Zalora discount voucher, Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout to get a 5% discount on your purchase.

Ah, September...

I'm not really fond of my birth month. Ever since I can remember, I haven't had a memorable birth month except 2006, when I turned 18 and someone went out of his way to make my birthday special and memorable and everything made my knees all wobbly up to now, 6 years later, only to have his heart broken by yours truly that very same day (yes, I am a man eater).

Anyway, long story short, I do not look forward to my birth month because nothing really significant happens... That and everyone seems to feel the need to post the title of that Green Day song everywhere. Seriously, guys, you need to get over it.

I am such a mess. Tatlong araw na.
