Spot A Good Guy In 5

Life is a journey. You’ve all heard that before, no doubt. As you attempt to find your way amidst the twists and turns in the road of life, it’s inevitable that you eventually hit the speed bump that is romance. At some point, when you meet a guy with romantic-partner potential, you are going to have to slow down and ask yourself: “Is this a good guy?” This can be a particularly bamboozling question, especially if you are meeting said guy for the first time. But fear not, dear readers! Candy is here to dole out sage advice. One must remember that, like any journey, traveling is infinitely easier if you follow the signs, and looking out for a good guy is no different.

Reminds me of my puppy dog that can't get up also.

Goodbye Papa

I have leukemia.

I was at home, sitting in front of the computer one afternoon last August 2008, when Papa called to break the news. I thought he was joking. Papa was a natural comedian and he loved cracking jokes, no matter what the situation. But this time, he was serious. My eyes began to water and the tears fell, one after the other. Even though I was trying to hide it from him, he could tell. He simply said, “Don’t cry na, ha? Don’t worry, kaya natin ‘to.” I was amazed at how he was able to hold back his tears while I cried uncontrollably. He chose to remain strong so I wouldn’t feel weak. Superman talaga.

Simplicity. I like to keep my looks simple but still try to make sure I stand out with the pieces I use. My fashion philosophy is that less is more.
Shopping galore. I go shopping EVERYWHERE! But I enjoy going shopping when I'm abroad because that way I avoid having the same clothes as people.
Style Icons. My international style icons are Kate Moss and Blake Lively. From the Philippines, I like the style of Kryz Uy.
Stylish influence. I believe that my own personal style is directly influenced by the fashion I see on the runways.
In my closet. My clothes are mostly black but I'm trying my best now to play with colors.
Accessory must-have. Statement necklaces always complete my every outfit.
No way! I'm an animal lover so I would never be caught dead wearing fur!
Trend rebirth. I love all those big skirts from the '20s. I wish everyone would start wearing them again.
Best bargain buy. I have a pair of brand new boots that I bought from my friend for less than P1000 just because it couldn't fit her. Best buy yet!
Grandma's vintage. My oldest piece of clothing would have to be my lace corset passed down to me by my grandmother from when she was still a teenager. That's around 50 years ago!
