In all honesty, I never attended any Halloweeen Parties in my whole life. When my colleague and I planned to wear simple halloween costume in our work place, I found it hard to think of a proper and right costume for me. I don't wanna spend more for just a day costume so I chose to be just a Devil . Maybe it's already an overused look for an halloween party, but this is the simplest style that is easy to achieve.  Here's the look: The look is just easy. I just wore a plain black basic tee from H&M matched with a white dotted red cardigan from Mr. Yoso (a shop based in La Union, Philippines) ; Black pants was still from H&M ; partnered with Black &White pair of shoes from Vans. Just added a black dogtag from Aldo Accessories and the devil red horn from Posters . To complete the whole look, the face must be intense, more dramatic and fierce.  Make up done by my friend from  Deborah Milano  Cosmetics located at Al Wahda...

I wore this street comfy style when I went to Dubai for my medical. Yes! It was just a combination of sale items i bought from different stores. Believe me, the total cost of this outfit was just less than a 100 AED (bag and shoes are excluded). Cap was 10AED from H&M  Top was 19AED from Pull&Bear Jordan chain was 10AED from WearMart Pants was 25AED from H&M Watch was 23AED from Casio (souq.com) Total= 87AED only I just added my white Flight Jordan shoes and black Parfois messenger bag to complete the look.  Sometimes, it's better to buy for sale items (most especially during the first day coz you still have good choices and sizes and the last day of the sale coz they'll have further mark down). You can really save money!  What can you say about this look? Feel free to comment for suggestions. Follow me on my IG and Twitter accounts @iamyrag26   Thank YOU! -Yrag

One of the BESTs local merienda that a must taste when you are in ILOCOS REGION is the EMPANADA . Ilocanos made some twist with the typical empanada that everyone knows. It's the orange colored empanada that can only be found in Ilocos!   Many parts of the region made its own version of it. Like in Vigan and Laoag to name a few but most of the people said  that Batac empanada is the best of them all. So during our Ilocos Norte trip, we went to Batac to taste it!  Batac, Ilocos Norte is not only known to be the "Home of Great Leaders" but also with its annually celebrated Empanada Festival.  They are considered to be the origin of the famous orange colored merienda. I don't know the exact history though. Batac Empanada is characterized by its orange crust and its filling made up of Iloco longganisa and young papaya shreds.  The orange colored crust is due to the use of achuete leaves and aside fr...
