'Aileen' is a twenty-year-old blogger from the Philippines who is happily single and living life at its best.

She was born and raised in Batanes but currently living in the bustling city of Manila where she is a superwoman corporate woman by day, a blogger and homebody by night, and a party animal come weekends.

She likes lazying around, traveling, eating different cuisines, writing nonsense as well as those with sense, being weird, laughing ridiculously, city lights, partying out late, blah blah blah.

She is interested in fashion, music, arts, desserts, internet, dancing, sleeping, and singing. And oh, she misses Batanes with a passion. ★

Hi! Until when is the la senza sale? :) Thanks!

Hi! I’m so sorry for replying this late, but it ended last Sunday :(

★ Q & A

#1 Anonymous asked you: Hi. Are you wacky and witty in real life? Especially with the way you write here in your blog.

Hmmm. I’m often ‘wacky’ and ‘witty’ with my words in real life. I guess. But most of the time all of it is just inside my head. Sometimes I won’t bother saying things and I’ll just let it all out through my writing. I dunno. I’m not so sure myself. I guess I’ll have to ask my friends. LOL.

#2 bernardong asked you: cool blog. hello from the US

Hi! Thank you so much! And hello right back to you—from the Philippinesssss. XD

#3Anonymous asked you: Happy birth day!!

….it’s not my birthday…

But thanks… in advance? :| Haha!

#4 Anonymous asked you: How was it like in La Salle? Like, did you have a share of the bratty people?

Ooooh. Stereotypes. Haha kidding aside, all schools (or any ‘community’) will have those brat kids or whatever-you-call-it. But on my case, I didn’t have one in my circle of friends. I think I might have encountered their species (LOL) but I never really cared much; they have their good parts anyway and they can be cool to hang out with. But bottom line: it really didn’t bother me if they were bratty or whatnot—as long as they’re not doing anything wrong then I’m fine with them. 

#5 Anonymous asked you: Hi ate, single ka pa din?

★ Q & A

#1 Anonymous asked you: Wow, a French guy? How’d you meet him? How is it with dating French guys?? Gosh! That’s so cool

Whoaaa, slow down. Haha! But yes. French. We just met at an event. I actually thought that he was of Filipino descent (w/ just a slight mix of something something). Turns out… he’s, well yeah, full blown French. And dating? I don’t know actually if it could be called as that. It’s complicated. LOLOLOLL. But well, he’s really sweet and he’s such a total gentleman—which still surprises me because I’m kind of used to guys which are the total opposite of him.

#2 Anonymous asked you: What’s Ever More? I saw you tweet about it.

It’s this new clothing store at The Fort and the clothes are DIVINE. You should check them out!!

#3 Anonymous asked you: ate, you’re nagddate ka na po pala! im happy for you! hoping for the best on you!

Haha thank you. It’s nothing serious though. (Yet?) Lol. We’ll see. I’m not really expecting much. I’m just enjoying whatever’s happening.

#4 Anonymous asked you: Do you cook? Your Project 366 has a lot of food photos. Thanks.

I cook. But most of the photos in my project 366 are from the restaurants that I’ve dined in; mostly because I’m doing it for my food blog: www.foodiefromthemetro.com

#5 Anonymous asked you: What’s your type of guy? I’m just wondering if it ever changes, lyk if before and if its different now.

Well… before, I used to go gaga over cute school-boy looking guys. And then it evolved to going loco over the ‘bad boy’ types. And I still have them as my ‘type’ actually, but I’m leaning more into the kind of guys who are ‘capable-looking’. I think I just want my man to be manlier and more mature. I guess? It’s just that I’ve been involved mostly with ‘dependent’ kinds of men so… yeah. It was really disappointing ‘cause sometimes it’s like I should constantly have to look out for them (that sometimes I start to feel like a mom HAHAHA kidding!) XD

#6 Anonymous asked you: Grabe, pano po kayo napupunta sa mga events ng Nuffnang? Gaya po kasi noong Zalora na launching event. Kakainggit kasi, sana ako din ma-invite.

Nuffnang just sends me invites; these invites only started happening this year because I’ve become more active to blogging.

#1 dennisonuy said: Who said anything about getting drunk? Sabi ko lang malakas ka uminom. Napaghahalata tuloy! Tsk tsk :)

Exactly my point why I said that I wasn’t really trying to answer your question directly :P

#2 Anonymous asked you: great blog! (:

Thank you bb! <3

#3  raindropsatdusk asked you: Sis! I’ve tagged you in my blog. :)

Hi! Nice! I’ll try and accomplish it soon ;>

#4 can-i-slytherin-babe asked you: Hi ate! Idk if you still remember me but I asked you a question before regarding my insecurities with the ex of my boyfriend (then) LOL. And I felt like, I needed you again. :) Kasi I’m planning to shift from MedTech to MassCom. The problem is that, I don’t think my dad will allow me considering that he’s already enjoying the fact that I’m planning to take Med Proper too plus he’ll probably say that I won’t go somewhere kung magMaMassCom ako. :(

Of course I still remember you!!! So I assume everything’s fine with you two now? I’m glad to hear that. :) Now… I’m REALLY flattered that you’re asking for advice from me again—and I’m sorry for replying this late! So yes, for your question… I’ll answer it as honestly as I could and I hope I could help. First up, yes, your parents would be really upset about your decision, especially if it’s not even closely related to the course that they have set their eyes on for you—because aside from it being different from their wishes, that would mean more money to shell out too. But if you really really want this, try to talk to him seriously about it; because there’s no point in shelling out more money for a course that you’ll never have fun nor the passion of doing. If I can be a living example to that, tell him. Tell him! LOLJK. But I hope you get my point. It’s even better to convince them if you explain to them your specific plans for the future because it would show that you’re really set on the decision, and that you can make a living out of it. Just remember not to ‘argue’ with them if they ever squeeze in a few statements—just tell them that you are sure and that you have prepared for it—and be actually prepared! I hope that you do know well what MassCom entails because if they do allow you to shift and then you ended up not liking MassCom as well, then… that’s trouble :O

#5 Anonymous asked you: love your red hair! youre one of the few tumblr people that can rock red hair! much loveeee

Aww, thank you! :)

#6  Anonymous asked you: OMG! I’m so kilig over your recent posts! Who is the new guy??? Ang sweet niyo po!

Not really my guy though. I’m trying to see if it could go forward, or not. He’s leaving soon so I’m not really putting my hopes up. But yeah, he’s really sweet and I think I’m a rotten bitch whenever I’m with him because he’s just too sweet! LOLJK!!!! But thank you! :)

★ Q & A

#1 dennisonuy said: siguro malakas ka uminom!

BWAHAHAHAHA. No comment. LOLJK. I can count the times that I’ve gotten really drunk—because those happened rarely. So yeah, I can still control my alcohol; besides, I don’t get drunk easily. (I know that I’m not answering your question directly. LOLOLOLOLLLL).

#2 Anonymous asked you: Gosh! Ang pretty niyo po!!

Aww this made me blush! Thank you! :)

#3 Anonymous asked you: You look really damn pretty in that photo but that’s only because of the make-up.

And I do agree. Makeup can really do such great wonders! But I do believe that I’m damn pretty too even without the makeup because makeup enhances one’s features—and what you’ve seen right there was my entire face. But anyway. Thanks? :)) HAHA!

#4 Anonymous asked you: Fuuuuuu. Please go out with me :3

Sorry, I don’t go out with strangers who are gray silhouettes. LOLOLOLLL kidding aside, thanks! :)

#5 irees: Reblogging because those 5 she listed were my faves, too, but it was actually the Agent Natasha/Black Widow that said Loki killed 80 men.

Really? XD Oh shoot, I actually can’t remember very well who said who for that one line but thanks for pointing that out! ;D I’m going to edit that entry now.  Haha. XD

#6 Anonymous asked you: I love your project 366! You’re one of my fave tumblristas!

Awww, thank you! Hope you weren’t anon though ;) I’d love to check your site out.

#7 Anonymous asked you: love your the avengers post! you took the words right out off my mouth~

Haha thanks! I’m Avengers-high! :D

tumblrchic asked
U look like Julia Montes on your photo.

I had to search her name over Google ‘cause I didn’t know who she is; it’s just that I don’t watch local television that much—but she’s really pretty! I can’t actually see the resemblance, but thank you! :)

★ Q & A

#1 Anonymous: It’s me again. Hahaha. Sorry, I don’t have a tumblr account and I don’t have plans on making one so I guess I’ll remain anonymous forever :P Just continue writing! It doesn’t matter whether the idea’s not that original. It’s the story that matters. :) Hahaha. BTW, I have a request. Please post your story when you finished it so that we could all read it :)))

Oh, but do you have another blog account or something? But anyway, thank you so much! :) That really helps. And sure!…that is, if I DO finish it. HAHA!

#2 Anonymous: can you suggest an online shop for planner? except po sa starbucks at moonleaf planer. hahaha

Have you tried Belle de Jour? I’ve been using this planner for years. But I’m planning to switch soon. This year, these were the planners that I’ve heard of that were quite cool: Filed(http://www.filed.com.ph), Slate(http://slateplanner.com/order-here/), or look for the Galison Fun Plan that’s available I think in Fully-Booked stores.

#3 natsu786: lol ..and u r,from where ?O.o

Philippines. I’d give anything to be in a cold country now.

#4 shedosurashu: Oh, well I do mine because I challenged myself to do it. In the end, I always fail though. So maybe I should try the “I love what I’m doing” approach. :)

Haha! Well actually, I started off like that at first, but then I realized how fun it is. Will follow you so that I could hopefully see you trying the project 366 thing. Haha

#5 Anonymous: How do you cope with stress? :)

I eat… and eat. Like a lot. LOL.

Hi Ate! Wala lang, I've been visiting your blog since who knows when and I love your posts. As in! Hahaha. I've read your post about you planning to write a book... well, naalala ko yung Pushing Daisies. May no-touching din sa main characters. Hahaha. Wala lang. Try watching it. Maganda :)

OH GOD. I just looked it up! Cool! …Now I can’t say that my idea is original anymore LOL kidding—but my characters’ background is a bit original tho… err, whatever. I haven’t even finished chapter four of ‘my’ book’ :)) But anyway, thank you so much for that! :) What you said meant a lot to me—it makes me glad to hear from my readers; but I hope I’d know who you are though, haha! :)

★ Q & A

#1 shedosurashu: So jealous that I wasn’t able to keep up with my OWN project 365. :/ I only ALWAYS get up to around day 40 or 60. 

I’m actually having a hard time keeping up with this ‘project’—there are times that I’d upload the pics like, weeks after. But I think what mainly drives me to do this is because I really do enjoy it—I want to be able to look back to this a year later so that I could see how each day of my 2012 was.

#2: Anonymous: I hope you’re okay with your work life..?? I read that post you made before.

Thank you for worrying, but I’m fine. Just going through a rough patch. :) But really, thanks!

#3: mintenchip: I know that really frustrated me seeing some of the contestants answer the questions in English with great difficulty! #1 was asked to define victory and defeat, from what I can remember her answer was horrible, she spoke as if she was talking to a friend with the um’s and like’s and then quickly blurted out that ‘God will help you’ in the end :s

Oh that one!!! I think I just cringed and blocked my hearing, because when I watch people who find it really hard to answer any sort of question just makes me really, really, uncomfortable. Haha! It’s like their feelings of nervousness are projected to me and then multiplied ten times over if I keep on listening! :))

#4 monsieur-rocketship: Beautiful photo!

Thank youuuu! That means a lot to me :)

#5 Anonymous: OH MY GOSH! I love you! The way you write is just so spot on!! That fight club entry you made was really great, im going to watch the movie now!

Haha thank you! Tell me your thoughts about it :)
