FYY Phone and Tablet Case: JewelClicks Approved Travel Companion

Gadgets have become a vital part of our lives. There is a great need to keep them always by our side in case we need to answer client inquiries, emails, communicate with friends and family, or (actually what I consider the most important thing) take photos. I’ve wanted to make sure that my gadgets are safe and that’s when I’ve learned about FYY Case. 

I’ve fallen in love with all the choices they are offering. I can only tell you how difficult it was for me to pick a single phone and tablet case because I honestly wish I could have them all. If you are looking for the best phone and tablet case, here are the three reasons why I think FYY is worth every centavo you spend: 

Quality Materials 

I am so particular with the kind of materials for my gadget cases because they are practically my life and I want them protected not scratched all over. FYY’s high-quality materials really top my list. 

Compartments Galores

I like to keep my phone and cards with me all the time and I am so thankful that FYY’s phone cases have compartments for my card, headset, and portable Wi-Fi modem! This is truly a great help especially when traveling. 

Style 

Of course! Strong and independent women want their stuff to reflect their style and FYY Case has exceeded my expectations. They come in the most stylish shapes and the cutest of colors. This is really where I had the hardest time because I really want them all! 

FYY Case’s phone and tablet cases get the JewelClicks stamp for a great value. I highly recommend

it to friends and my followers. If you get one of their products, do send me a photo because I would love to see you have them, too.

Chasing Shinjuku Nights

It was 12 midnight when Carissa decided to go out and buy stuff in Donki (Don Quixote) store in the area. I was not in the mood to go out that time because I was already sleepy, but since it was her last night in the city, I realized that I will be solo again for another five days! Then I started to think about what to do for the rest of the days. Should I go to Sapporo for a couple of days? 

We were supposed to go to Omoide Yokocho area where I told her about the local bars and resto to eat yakiniku and drink sake. Unfortunately, all of them are closed and I had a perfect spot to take a photo to opt. BUT really, I looked tired here and sleepy. Carissa wondered why I was not in the mood. 

We stayed in one of the APA Hotels in the center of Shinjuku. A few minutes away from the nightlife such as clubs and red light district. Damn you better to act that you are local when you passed by these clubs or else you will be harassed by some promoters outside asking you to come inside their bar. It was not my first time in the area, but I am curious what it looks like inside. I need a friend who loves to drink to go with me and check out the crowd? HAHAHA

Oh well, I wish I can do that when I come back again and probably will try Roppongi area as I heard that they have good bars there or should I book pub crawl to meet new strangers and turn them into still strangers because you will never ever see them again. 

I will pack my stuff after I published this post because I am flying to Tokyo tomorrow with my OG travel buddy Jo from Cebu as well. (okay that was random, I am writing about this, but I will be there the next day). You can check my Snapchat and Instagram: @jewelclicks for my updates or stories. 

Looking forward to enjoying the cold weather before I hit the beach this summer!

But first, I need to work out. HAHA

Until my next post!

Have a great day everyone!

Plot Twist: Life Lately and On Being Top 3 in Philippines Photography Blog

It's the time of the year when I have to contemplate about what's going on with my life lately. How I've been dealing with different kinds of issues, but still being kind to people and to the universe. I am always like this - when nothing feels right, go left. Uhm, but this time, I have to face them all and deal with it until IDGAF. 

On Personal Goals

We all have personal goals that we would like to achieve and as much as we planned it out ahead of time, there are some challenges that you have to deal with and distracts you that will make you feel like unmotivated. I've been living on pushing myself to work harder and I came to the point that I need to learn to chill and slow down sometimes to make sure that things are working on according to your plans. 

On Making Decision

Living solo for the past 2 years in the city makes me feel like I AM AN ADULT and I own it. Deciding on small things to big things such as having Lasik Surgery at Shinagawa Clinic was really a life-changing for me. If I didn't do it, I think, up until now I am still thinking when I will be doing that surgery and seriously I hate having "what ifs" in life. I will share FAQs I received after I posted my experienced of my LASIK surgery on my YouTube channel - Happy 3rd month HD vision. 

On Doing What You Love

I am not always updated here on my blog compared to my previous years. I came to the point that I want to keep my experiences private and just post at least five photos on my Instagram account with some on-point captions, but blogging is always been part of me, I love doing it online since 2006. Sharing experiences with my readers through my photo diaries is a good feeling and can be a good inspiration for them to travel when they have time. 

Recognizing my blog since 2014 as a Best Cebu Photo Blog up to now being on Top 3 out of Top 10 Philippines Photography Blogs is an achievement for someone who shared little information on the internet. I am happy that you are here reading this plot twist (personal post) because that means, you're curious. HAHA! 

Top: Uniqlo | Pants: H&M

Plot Twist

It is okay if you did today is (just) to survive. It is alright also to express how you feel and It is time to stand for what is right. Always see the good in every bad situation and when you can't take it anymore. You decide. HAHA

Have a great day everyone!

The highlight of my trip was joining the Pub Crawl on a Saturday night because I met new people and hang out with strangers. If you want something different thing to do when you're out of the country, you should try it. Read my Pub Crawl Taipei experience here.

I have the new favorite clothing line: Uranus Clothing proudly made in Cebu that I wore and perfect for being so urban when I stayed in the Shilin District in Jiantian near Shilin Night Market.

How To Choose Your Perfect Homecoming Party Dress

Homecoming is a very important tradition in many high schools and universities of different countries, first and foremost The United States and Canada.

Choosing prom or homecoming dresses is understandably overwhelming. There are so many styles to pick from and on top of that, they come in a vast variety of colors! The selection out there is exponentially great, so no wonder you are looking for a way to narrow down the color and style options! I would like to help you with that.

27dress.com is a perfect website I ever found. They have many styles of dresses. If you want to catch the attention of everyone in the room an elegant and bouncy short homecoming dress is surely the best choice.

Choose a dress color that will stand out, while still complementing your atmosphere. Does your prom or homecoming have a theme? Let’s go with under the sea as an example; predictably, this theme’s color scheme will feature blue. Also, if you still cannot decide, don’t underestimate the power of perception. Bring your friends with you. Ask them questions. Tell them to BE HONEST. Holding up dress after the dress is a tough sell when it’s just you and the mirror. But through the eyes of another person, you are getting a much better picture of what really looks great on you.

And if you have a low budget, you can visit 27dress to get cheap homecoming dresses, but in high quality. By the way, in this season, they have summer promotion, you can use the coupon code: Summer to get extra 10% OFF. That’s a nice offer I think.

Have a great day everyone!
