Rewind to 2007, I asked a then-boyfriend to go with me to Greenbelt because I saw this cute planner at Cosmopolitan Magazine. Since my personalized planner doesn't look too appealing anymore, I told him that I need to buy the Belle De Jour Power Planner, even if it means going to Makati, when my work is in Ortigas. Since then, it was the best decision ever. The boyfriend was gone after a few years, but my planners served as the best friend who I can confide to anytime.

It is especially known for its compulsory quick and strong movements, high vertical takeoffs, one arm lifts, quick fouettes, quadruple pirouettes, and Kitri’s signature move, the Plisetskaya head-kick.

I am always in awe whenever I get to see amazing art pieces in real life. I guess it's because I have always been a frustrated artist - with my Mom and brother who can paint like a pro, I'm odd one out. That is why last week, being invited to Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students event at the SM North EDSA The Block Atrium, was the highlight of the Chinese New Year Celebration for me. Their fine pieces about nature and animals on scroll and plates are almost impossible to miss.
