A Closer Look into the Gaming Industry in the Philippines

“Laro,” it showed how Filipinos need not only a reliable team, but also a dependable monobloc chair that literally has their back. The video showed a teenage boy fervently playing an online game while seated on a Uratex Monoblock chair. He is interrupted by his father calling for help with his mother. As the boy rushes to help, his father takes over the game, testing the durability of the Uratex Monoblock chair with his intense play.

 "You're beautiful, why are you still single?" the most common question I always encounter. I don't really want to talk about these stuff especially that I'm raising a daughter single-handedly. This time I wanted to be heard through this blog post. 

Press Release

Teleperformance Philippines, a leading global group in digitally integrated business services, has partnered with local governments across Visayas and Mindanao to extend Covid-19 vaccination to its employees as they rolled out their vaccination program.

"EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!"  

Do you believe in Destiny? Well, I do. A month ago, I wasn't blogging on hive, I was just blogging here, on my own website that I worked really hard for ten long years. There came a point that I almost gave up writing quality content because most of the bloggers I know, were already jumping into the new bandwagon which is Vlogging! I tried too. But I didn't find the joy that I was feeling when I wrote the contents on my blog. I felt like I was doing something that wasn't me. Writing seems more genuine to me since I'm more spontaneous and I always put my heart into it. Writing brings me to places and made me recall my adventure without having to worry about me, being awkward talking in front of the camera. 

And then, one day, someone handed me over this cute card that says "Bee One of Us!". You can read the full HIVE STORY HERE. 

The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines invites you to the premiere of Season Two of its CommChat series entitled Beyond the Vax: The Value of Our Body’s Defense and Repair System in Fighting Covid-19 on July 31, Saturday at 3PM.

Today's content is all about fashion and styling. I actually created this content for my Instagram which you can also follow @sassy_cebuana. As you all know, a lot of influencers have been uploading several content on their instagram and it's actually one of my go to social media platform whenever I have outfit of the day (ootd) photos. I made this short video for my IG Tv series Styling 101 and sharing this here for my fellow Hivers. 

I have been buying a silk scarf at shein.com because of the Pressman sisters. You know them? Yassi and Issa. Issa actually has her own brand, but I didn't buy from them because shein was way more affordable. And you know, a momma shouldn't be spending more for herself, so I still have to find ways to wear the same that won't hurt the budget. 

Feel free to watch the video which I also uploaded on my YouTube channel who only have 50 subscribers because I don't really upload every now and then. It's just for the purpose of having one but feel free to subscribe if you want to, no pressure though. 😁 

But if you don't feel like watching the video I'm uploading photos here, for you to look at it at your own convenience. 

This actually helps a lot whenever you're out somewhere with your friends and you wanted to do a quick change yet the only thing you brought with you is your lovely scarf. So, this can be a life saving fashion hack. 😊

I do this often whenever I have shopee delivery. 🤣 Girls! You know what I mean. 

No belt? Easy peasy! Just style it this way. 

I love doing this whenever I forgot to bring a hat with me and it's scorching hot this one helps plus it's stylish. 

Now you do it with a swag. I Remember during high school days. We used to tie hanky like that during our dance intermission. Oh, it brings back good old days. 

Now you do it the Sassy way. If you just feel like you wanted to look pretty and cute at the same time. 

The classy way of tying your hair like Heart Evangelista. 😊

Accentuate your accessories! Sometimes your bag needs it more. 😊

You tie it like a Girl Scout girl! 

And this one is my favorite among all of them. It makes a decent top if you do it this way rather than the tube top. I find it more comfortable this way. 

So what do you think? Which one is your favorite among the 10? 

I do hope you did find a value on this styling post. See you on my next styling tips! Ciao! 

As I've mentioned on my recent post, about me finding a new home on the blogosphere, here's what I meant. I've been on a diffferent platform called hive for just 18 days and this awesome community here in Cebu, is really awesome, especially this beautiful hiver who just celebrated her 4th year BLOGHIVERSARY.
