Alessi Likes Making Her Face Smaller
So right now I am putting aside Wednesday’s journal review which I’m working on *lol* to write about something quite odd and bizarre, but which I am sincerely fascinated by. It’s about making your face smaller. WTF. This post is going to be very vain. One of my secret teeny tiny insecurities is my very round face. It might’ve looked nice and adorable while I was 4 years...

Alessi likes The Paradox of our Time
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less...

Alessi Likes Etude House!
Sooo most of you might’ve been sick of my endless posting about the Etude Playhouse Pink Fair last weekend on my Facebook and Twitter and here, but I can’t get enough of the Pinkness of it! I’m dumping scraps of photos Aly and I took during the event, just to keep a record of it in this space; this is somehow a personal journal after all. These are from the photobooth, which was...

Alessi Likes the Daily Grind
After months of whining about having nothing to do, my life is finally going somewhere! By next week, I’ll officially be no longer a bum and will be part of the daily grind. And I couldn’t be any more eager to do so. This particular switch of gears has made me relishing my final days of being a bum for as much as possible. While I try to balance my footing on where I am in life right...

Alessi Likes March
It is only during the middle of April that I’ve decided to put together my March photo dump. Blame it on sheer laziness and procrastination, it’s hard to keep a stable time table when your day is largely composed of doing a shit ton of nothing. I tried my best to make my March as eventful, productive and stress-free as possible. Here’s a nifty instagram collage of how everything...

Alessi Likes Family Road Trips
I had the nicest and most fulfilling Good Friday this Holy Week. Spent some much needED (damn really need to proofread my posts yuck) quality time with my family at Tagaytay, basically having a day-long photo-op and listening to a very moving Good Friday sermon. A holy week well spent! Back when I was a kid we didn’t have cable TV or internet, and when Holy Week rolled along all the TV...

Alessi likes Theme Parks!
A couple of weeks ago I babysat my sister and a bunch of her friends while they spent a day at Enchanted Kingdom. At first I was a bit bummed that I didn’t bring sunglasses *-.-* and that I had no one else my age to bug. Being with a bunch of younger people was a different experience altogether. In a way it made me feel wiser (older? yuck hahaha) and it made me realize how insignificant all...

For the longest time I have been pushing myself to be more ambitious. Most people my age have such an enviable repertoire of goals complete with a road map of the steps to take for them to realize such. It terrifies me that up to now I am still trying to put my finger on what I truly wish to pursue. I feel that it makes me much less of an achiever. I’m scared that when I grow old I might...

Alessi likes IamMeg.ph
I haven’t read a magazine in so long; I guess I’ve gotten too comfortable with reading style blogs on my phone. Ever since I was a kid though I’ve an affinity for magazines; their collage appeal and the smell of glossy paper just blow me away. I used to collect a shitload of magazines that they literally littered my bedroom floor. One of the many magazines I collected was Meg. I...
