CAFE RIHANNA BY CAFE BLOUDAN - NEW HANG OUT PLACE IN TOWN

Davaoeños need not to spend thousand of pesos to book a trip to the Middle East just to taste authentic Arab Cuisine thanks to CAFE RIHANNA BY CAFE BLOUDAN.

CAFE RIHANNA BY CAFE BLOUDAN is an Authentic Arabic Restaurant that opened its doors last February 29, 2016. The small restaurant, aside from serving authentic Arab cuisine, also gives a Middle-Eastern feel with the decorations surrounding the place. The rugs, decors, etc used in the restaurant came from Saudi Arabia. Definitely adding up a Middle Eastern chill vibe to the place.

Here are some pictures of the decors inside the restaurant

If you feel like sitting down but a bit elevated on the floor... tadah!

Nice and Homey :)

DAVAO is READY to go WILD in Neon STYLE this 2016

Something very exciting is coming to town this weekend in Davao City and just in time for the month long celebration of ARAW ng DABAW.

What better way for Davao City to celebrate this annual special occasion than to celebrate it in COLORFUL STYLE on a weekend with VIBRANT FESTIVAL.

YES! VIBRANT PAINT and MUSIC FESTIVAL HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES!

With regional stops in Bacolod and Manila, Vibrant Festival, in partnership with Manic Nightnings Production, will finally make its way in Davao City this March 12, 2016 (Saturday) --> 6 o'clock in the evening at the Lanang Business Park Davao for the 79th Araw ng Davao celebration. Davao peeps, as well as out of town visitors, will get to experience the ultimate NEON paint and BLACK LIGHT party while jamming to the fantastic heart-pumping, beats of international DJs Lera, Mid, and No Class, and also Davao’s very own DJs with the likes of DJs Law, Torch, Jin, Wacky, and Jack plus Manila’s DJ X-Factor and MC Victor Pring.

The event will also feature program highlights such as paint drum beaters, blacklight hour, and the Vibrant Angels. Other festival activities which will surely make everyone #gowildwithpaint include paint ball wars, the wall of reflection, the paint & glow station. Rave merchandise will also be sold during the event.

Vibrant is produced by Manila-based team, MADHATTER EVENTS, that stages nationwide music & paint festivals. Aside from being a productions company, they are also the only licensed Philippine distributor of cosmetically certified paint brand in the world. So there's no need to worry about getting a bit (or a lot) of paint splashed on during the event.

Imagine getting all of these for only 300 pesos...

HOT EDM MUSIC + AWESOME DJs + COLORFUL BLASTS OF NEON PAINT +++++ SO MUCH MORE = definitely an AMAZING PARTY!

Curious to know more about the Vibrant Festival 2016? Check them out  at  https://www.facebook.com/vibrantfest/ and follow @vibrantfest on Twitter and Instagram.

DAVAO CITY, turn up your party spirits... let's go party... let's  #GOWILDWITHPAINT and be prepared for a colorful weekend ahead, literally and figuratively (wink).

SEE YAH ;)

XOXO,

OOTD: WHITE TOPS WEEKEND plus HEELS-FLATS TIP

SATURDAY

WHAT I WORE: White Bell Top bought from Divisoria, Royal Blue Jeggings and Bronze Flats from SM Department Store

SUNDAY

WHAT I WORE: White Zipback top bought online, Skorts given by my Mother-In-Law, Necklace from Espada, Bronze Flats

TIP: If you're the type of girl who doesn't really like wearing heels but heels are the best shoes that go together with your outfit, buy pointed toe flats instead. They actually give almost the same effect on the outfit with actual heels. 

That's the trick I use to still get that formal-ish feel :)

Hope it works on you too!

XOXO,

A I A

TRAVEL VLOG: JAKARTA, INDONESIA 2016

This is actually my 3rd time in Jakarta

but this time it was extra special because finally, my ex-boyfriend-now-husband finally tagged along with me. 

What makes Jakarta special too is that my Uncle and Aunt (my dad's sister) live there. I just love visiting them since they rarely go home.

Gonna make a blog post about our trip soon

but for now, here's a VLOG I made

Jakarta - Part 2 of our Honeymoon trip :)
