The Certified Fashionable Chic

Work And My Stress Reliever

Lainybelle — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 04:06:24 +0000

Work has been tedious these past 2 weeks. One of my colleagues resigned. Her position wasn’t filled yet. That means all of us have additional work loads.

I do a lot of tasks these past few days. And whenever we finished a sale or a task, we save it on our tool that is like a Salesforce reporting from InetSoft.com just so we know which cases are needed follow up and which ones are closed. And I forgot to do that on some of my tasks sometimes. I’m getting a bit stressed out because I’m still trying to manage my additional workload. I may be able to handle it better next week.

I’m actually on vacation leave today but apparently I’m sick. The sickness may have to do with the weather and maybe I’m getting stressed out at work. I’m just glad I have 1 additional off this week. A good full body massage last night made me feel better now. Other than that, spending time with Kido and his family is also a stress reliever for me.

RIP Whitney Houston

Lainybelle — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:59:41 +0000

Whitney Houston, the most awarded female act of all time, was found dead at a Beverly Hills hotel. I just heard about the news today. The cause of her death wasn’t disclosed yet. But I think it has to do with drugs. What else do you all think? She has been struggling with personal issues and drugs these past few years. Too bad her fame and fortune was not able to help her with her personal struggles.

Despite the negative publicity, I still feel bad hearing about her death. I wasn’t really a fan but Whitney had mad a great contribution to the music industry. I love listening to all of her songs.

Well, I think that’s how life goes. It’s just sad that her life ended without being able to recover from her addiction.

May you rest in peace, Whitney Houston. You will always be remembered.

My Mom And The Valuable Gifts

Lainybelle — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:35:51 +0000

I really wasn’t fond of jewelries when I was kid. My Mom used to scold me whenever I lost the accessories she bought for me. She usually buys gold plated accessories.

I liked wearing them at first but if I get annoyed with them during play time, I remove and place them somewhere I can’t remember. When my Mom searched for the necklace, ring or watch, I play deaf sometimes or make a lot of excuses until I ran out of stories to tell her about the whereabouts of the jewelries that are no longer in my possession. I remember the last thing I lost which was kind of memorable to her, was a gold watch that was a token for her 30 years of service in the company she used to work for. She got so angry and promised to not give me anything that’s very valuable. She kept that promise until now. LOL! I didn’t receive any gifts from her at all after that watch.

Hey! What a realization! LOL! But it’s alright with me. My Mom’s effort into raising all three of us by herself is the best gift that she has ever given not only to me but also to my two brothers. I can buy those material things, whether an expensive watch or a pandora jewelry, if I really wanted to now that I’m a grown-up. And whenever I have enough money, I make sure to somehow give back to my Mom in my own little sweet ways.

America’s Next Top Model And Cable TV Complaint

Lainybelle — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:02:02 +0000

I haven’t watched America’s Top Model for a while now. I realize it’s been months since the last time I was able to watch an episode of my favorite TV show. I wonder what Tyra and her crew have for the gorgeous ladies who fight for the title. If they have them hang on helicopters with clevis pins and at the same time make their best poses for the camera? It’s scary for the models and sometimes, whenever they were asked to do a difficult task, they sometimes end up humiliated but then the experience made them stronger. There were many challenges that they have to face but only one has to be America’s Next Top Model.

Too bad my cable TV isn’t working that good this past few months. I’ve been having difficulty watching some of my favorite channels and tried to tell my landlady about my TV but my proddings fell on deaf ears.. She didn’t do anything about fixing the cable and for me to stop my constant prodding, she doesn’t include the P100 charge for cable TV on top of my rent anymore.

All of a sudden I miss my fave TV show. What about asking my landlady once again to do something about my cable TV? I hope she’ll have it fixed this time around.

Ally Taking Over The Certified Fashionable Chic

Lainybelle — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:50:41 +0000

Yep! You read it right! I’m Ally, Lainy’s cousin. What you read on the title is not a permanent thing. Lainy is taking a break from blogging and she asked me to take over her blogs for the mean time. Don’t you all worry. She’s fine. We all needed a break sometime in our lives, don’t you all think?

The thought of taking over The Certified Fashionable Chic made me feel excited. I know about fashion but not exactly a certified fashionista like my chic cousin, Lainy. I just know the don’ts and do’s of fashion. What to wear and what’s not to wear for a certain occasion or for just an ordinary day.

America’s Top Model is one of my favorite reality shows and it’s where I get a lot of idea about fashion. Just like all the women out there, I love shopping for dresses and shoes as long as they fit my budget.

I’ll try my best to be able to write articles that will live up to the expectation of this blog. In my own simple ways, I guess. We’re yet to find out! So stick around folks!

Searching For A New Pad

Lainybelle — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 07:05:01 +0000

I live in Pasay for years already. I have rented quite a very simple pad. I did not even care to paint or make renovations out of that room because I wasn’t planning on staying there for long. And now I actually have been living there for three long years now.

I am planning to move out. I just don’t know when that is going to happen. I’ve been looking around for a better apartment. Irene and I agreed to be housemates as soon as we can find a better pad. If I’d be lucky to be able to find a 2-storey apartment with nice basement flooring, I’d be very pleased. It would be very exciting for me and Irene to make the place as cozy as possible.

Well, wish us luck in finding a better place to live!

Make Us, Girls, Happy On V-Day

Lainybelle — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:03:52 +0000

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I’m pretty sure couples are now beginning to plan for a nice present to give to their beloved. Some men may even have already made reservations for a romantic dinner date with their ladies.

This is also the time that flower shops earn a lot of money. But if you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t want to get stuck during Valentine’s day just to get your girl a bunch of beautiful flowers, it would be easier to order online and get the best deals from ProFlowers as early as possible. You can even take advantage of the discounted rates as soon as you log on to your facebook and click on the deals that they have in store for you. They got free weekday delivery and a free glass vase if you get lucky.

Setting up a romantic date for your loved ones and a bunch of flowers are definitely two of the best things to help reignite romance especially on heart’s day.

To all the men out there, I hope this post will somehow give you an idea on how to keep us girls happy on V-Day.

The Pink Bean Bag

Lainybelle — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:23:13 +0000

When I lived solo, one of the essential purchases I did for my pad was the bean bag. It’s very handy and it can be used outdoors, too.

I love to sit on my bean bag everytime I watch TV. I feel so relaxed and well-rested.

However, I got very disappointed coz when I moved in here in my new pad, I noticed that it has gotten flatter. The SIL told me that it has been like that after a fat visitor sat on it, LOL!

Good thing I was able to take a capture of that bean bag with yours truly sitting on it

Headware: Wear It How You Want It!

Lainybelle — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:27:40 +0000

One of my purchases before my Zambo trip was a headware from Bratpack. As the label says, “Keeps Your Head Happy!”

My headware

I was convinced to buy one because it can be used in a number of ways. I can opt to look like a pirate or I can simply use it as a hairband, dust mask, helmet liner or a beanie. It’s breathable, versatile, seamless, tubular, cool, elastic and UV guarded.

There Is No End To Learning

Lainybelle — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:14:40 +0000

Ever since I began blogging, I have been introduced to the marvels of the Information Age. The amount to be learned appears bottomless with the various facets of Digital and Computer Technology.

A few of my friends who matriculated with tertiary I.T Degrees are now earning their keeps with Database Designer Jobs in my country and abroad. I also have a few friends who run their own business in this field.

There are times when I seek help with my Blogs from these computer wizards and I am amazed by their skill and knowledge. In most cases, I am lost when they talk profusely in their computer lingo.
