Already feeling the great ambiance of Seafood City the second I stepped inside the resto. I've never been to a restaurant that has a huge vegetable cooler right in the middle of a buffet station before. You can actually choose your desired veggies too! How awesome is that?! Decided to take all my outfit shots in this area coz its cute. :p Scroll down below to have a glimpse on some dishes they serve.

 What I wore:Top, Culotte, Glasses- Psalm 91 Boutique(my shop); DIY stud choker; Nike Lab shoes; Guess denim jacket

This restaurant showcases a number of huge aquariums that's filled with live fishes, crabs, shrimps, lobsters and more. That's when you know everything they serve are guaranteed fresh! On a side note, I wonder if these fishes know they are about to die and be eaten... Sooner or later. Haha

Debuting my new pair! Nike Lab Sockdart shoes in triple white. Been dreaming about these shoes since I saw it 2 years back. Dreams do come true! Thanks beau!

 Everyone close to me knows how picky I am with my food. I've been sticking to the same restaurants and order the same dishes for years because that's how I like my dining experience, safe and familiar. I never order/crave for anything seafood out of fear that the fish/shrimps are no longer fresh. I am very particular with that because I had an upset stomach incident before due to spoiled shrimps. However, when I heard about Isla Sugbu Seafood City and its variety of FRESH seafood menu, I decided to give seafood a second chance. After all, I just saw a whole bunch of aquariums in the middle of the restaurant!;)  They are also launching their newest promo called "Paluto All-You-Can". This deal allows you to have as much seafood as you like and have it cooked your way!!!! Yes, you heard it right. Whether you want your fish grilled, your shrimp fried or crabs stewed; your opportunities are endless! And so are the rounds of your paluto.

 The energetic host for the night Mr. Karlo keeping the night alive while his lovely gf  Ms. Vanessa East was busy making sure the event went smoothly. Shout out to this power couple for the successful event. <3

 Some more introduction before the food was served.

 And then the non-stop arrival of neatly presented seafood dishes commenced...

 Can you tell we are all enjoying our food?! Everything is too delicious!

 CRABS!!!!!!!!

 Okay to be honest I was quite glad the pork belly came in at first. I am not a huge fan of seafood dishes but every single putahe they served was party in my mouth! I am impressed. I might consider trying out seafood more often but only if I dine here. Great place!

 The lobster was so good, too! Its my first time trying lobster with sweet sauce. A must have!

 Crabs were opened at the bottom but we still had a lot of cracking to do. They are an example of food that takes too long to open and eat but the moment you have them in your mouth, you realize its worth the effort. Deep.

Another star of the night. The oysters were presented in 3 different dishes. I like the one below best. It was literally filled with butter!

 To balance out the unlimited food intake, we had a hearty mixed fruit dessert.

 Ms. Katrina Labra of Zee Lifestyle... Charot! My college girl crush. I remember getting wasted in her home almost 5 years ago.Who would've thought we'd meet again in a much mature event. Haha

I am not one to attend 'every' event invites/sponsorship that I get. I always make sure every brands, projects and events I go to are close to my heart. Every single one should be a personal fave and should fit my branding. So take my word for it, this place just serves the BEST seafood in the city-  AND for a very reasonable price. Paluto All-You-Can's introductory price starts on October 1 and ends on October 31, 2016 for only P680.00/each. After the promo period, the rate is back to P850.00 so hurry and try it while its still at its lowest rate.

Now if there are plenty of fish in the sea, at Isla Sugbu Seafood City, there is a lot of seafood to choose from and eat.

They are located at the ground floor of The Grand Convention.

P.S Sorry for the crappy food review, I have very few vocabulary when it comes to describing the food or how it tastes. And now you know why I am not a food blogger. Hahahah

While waiting for the show to start, me and my friends decided to take some photos of my outfit- which was also designed by me. I always dress up like a tomboy in all my previous fashion shows so this ensemble shocked some of my friends. They thought I'd wear sneakers and caps again. I say there's always a first time for everything... And this event definitely gave me a lot of 'first'.

As I look back at my first children's wear fashion show last Friday, I cant help but feel emotional. This was not an ordinary event for me because I was handling special children/ kids with autism. I have personally interacted with the girls for almost 2 weeks to get their measurements, check the right designs that suits their special needs and to finally fit their gowns before the show. To be honest i felt scared to handle them as clients at first because I have no idea how to treat or act around them. I was relieved to find out how lovely they are in person! Although they get moody too quickly so we have to get to their good mood before we meet. Truly a very humbling experience that I'll never forget. I hope we are all grateful for being blessed with normal (but still complicated) personalities because this thing is serious and requires special attention. This was an eye-opener for me since i don't know anyone close to me that has special kids. Listening to their parents share their struggle, despair and fear when they found out about their kids and how they finally accepted and loved them even more now. I cannot describe how brave they truly are for raising more challenging little angels. Now I am quite interested into helping these kind of fundraising events in the future. Just thinking about the wasted time I spent going out and being useless before made me wish I spent it on productive, meaningful events like this one.

Meet Kolen. She was the first girl to visit my shop and I thought she was gonna cry when I took her measurements because she flinched a lot and made a crying face. Later on I found out it was part of her personality- she made that face/reaction whenever she feels uneasy or uncomfortable. She has never really looked at my face or my eyes.  I also found out they are not good in making eye contact. I think she's an emotional little angel, hence, the white flowy dress.

Her proud father walked with her in the catwalk as I accompanied them.

I couldn't take any close up photos of their dresses because they move too much.They cant stay put for a couple of minutes but I let them be. I was deeply happy to see them enjoy the gowns that was made specifically to cater to their comfort and for them to have fun while wearing them.

To this day, I still have that awkward walk even in the catwalk (I walk really fast in real life)


Friends for keeps! They have been my support system since Day 1. Thank you guys. Love you.<3

~ Here are some more of my outfit shots before and after the show. ENJOY! ~



I have finally accepted the fact that I am in love with the color pink. I swear my closet is starting to fill up with light colors and I'm loving it! I blame all my brides for this obsession... Every single bride clients I had, they picked the color 'pink' 'old rose' and 'rose gold' as their wedding theme. Being surrounded by all these pink shades in the form of fabrics, ribbons, laces and trimmings must have influenced my new found love for them.


Wore my Champion sports bra out coz fashion designing is a sport! Lol


What I wore: Champion sports bra; Something Borrowed (Zalora) heels; Designs by Eva M culotte pants and cover-up; Alwin's glasses hahahaah




My favorite purchase from Hong Kong was this black fringe sling bag!
