Basics
Which country are you from?
I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I moved to Singapore in October 2011.
Why did you move to Singapore?
My parents wanted me to study abroad and they gave me a choice which country I should go to. I really wanted to go to London, New York or Sydney. But in the end, I chose Singapore because it’s closer to home.
What is it like to live in a foreign country?
It’s fun but it can be tough; It’s not glitter and gold. You only have yourself to depend on. The cost of living is high, too. I hate how much other people undermines the expensiveness of living abroad.
Design & Blogging
Do you have Tumblr Themes?
Yes, I do. They’re pretty outdated but you can still download them here.
Can you make me a Tumblr Theme?
Sorry, I can’t. I can make you a logo/blog header though (for a fee). Email me if you’re interested. :)
I want to be a great blogger like you but I don’t know where to start. Can you give some tips?
First of all, blog for yourself. Don’t do it for the money or followers.Write a post that YOU would want to read.
Install a nice theme for your blog, so others will be attracted to read the content. Blogging success is not an overnight process.
Read and comment other blogs. Network, network, network.
I should probably write an ebook about this. Y/N?
What font did you use in ______________?
In posts like Wishlist Friday, MAC Lipstick series, Do It Yourself, and Reverse Bucket List, I used my own handwriting.
Some of the fonts I used are: Clearly Line, Bebas, Print Clearly, and Mossy.
Hair Care & Stuff
What’s your hair type?
I’m not sure. I think I fall under 2B-2C or 3A hair type.
How do you take care of your chemically-treated hair?
I stopped washing my hair on a daily basis. Sometimes, if I feel like it, I’ll skip the shampoo and just apply conditioner. I like to give my hair a hair mask treatment (+ hair steamer). I also apply virgin coconut oil to make it soft and shiny.
Always check the Hair Care tag for updates.
Can I dye my hair red without bleaching?
Yes, you can. :) I had red ombre hair, so the ends were bleached (twice!) while the top part remains unbleached. Check my Red Hair tag for photos and see the difference.
What kind of dyes did you use?
For red, it was usually done in the salon.
For purple and blue, I used Manic Panic Purple Haze and Atomic Turquiose.
Cameras & Apps
What type of camera and lenses do yo use?
I have a Nikon D90 with a Tamron 17-50mm and 50mm lens. I also have a Tokina 11-16mm lens, SB-600 and an AlienBees B800 (pink).
Any tips when it comes to photography?
Practice, practice, practice. Experiment. Read books and blogs about Photography.
What kind of iPhone do you have?
Currently: White iPhone 5
What apps do you frequently use on your iPhone photos?
AfterLight (formerly known as Afterglow), VSCO, ClassicInsta, and PicFrame. Other aoos I use can be found here.
How do you pay for your Apple apps?
For PH account: You have to pay through credit card.
For a US account: I purchase iTunes Gift Card in Data Blitz (SM Mall of Asia) or PCGameSupply (online).
