Personalize your BDJ PLANNER 2014

My BDJ 2014 planner
Have your very own BDJ planner? And still want it personalize? I have a simple trick for you that you could also try.


 hadn't got the chance to make it personalize by the BDJ Planner since I would always wanted to start my year with a planner at hand and I did not make it to book my order ahead of time, so I just decided to do something about it. Make it personalize in my own way.

(c) Nathalie Salcedo
Steps :

           1. I used the font style “Script MT Bold” maximize the number of characters      to 8 only to make it fit the blank space.
       2.  With a font size of 72
       3.  Use white font color and placed a black background 
       4.  Cut it out and make sure it’s pretty clean
       5.  And stick it to your planner!

Simple ways but it truly made my planner personalize J Try it!

Your wedding dress to impress


           Wearing your best wedding gown is very hard to find, we tend to keep on looking for design via the internet, look at the finest magazines for ideas or even hire our very own wedding gown designer to look at our best.

In a meanwhile I was browsing the internet early this morning I got to see this site which comprises of gorgeous wedding dress that every girl will die having for.

I have listed below my Top 8 personal favorites and why it could be a good idea for you!


8. I totally love how it was accessorized. The covering around the shoulders managed to emphasize the collar bones in a very classy way.











7. Look at the black lace ribbon around the pure white wedding gown. It looks so simple yet very elegant. It is long yet short enough if you do not want to walk the aisle stepping on your wedding gown.









                                                                                                      
6. If you still wanted to go for a Cinderella type of dress, this one might be for you! Consider the fact that it doesn't look so heavy by the way the layers fall it seems very comfortable to wear as it seems too soft as well.

5.  Are you a bride who wanted to go for a classic white wedding gown?, well, this looks perfectly for you. Its silk texture makes the gown stunning even without too much accessorize. Consider also the fact that it has pockets!! Perfect for any bride, you can keep a tissue with you to prevent those tears to ruin your make-up.


4.  Wanted to invest more on a pair of heels on your wedding day? Then this design of gown would work for you. It let your shoes to be seen by everybody, you won’t have a hard time to walk thru the aisle plus the unique embellishment under your gown would make everybody wonder what’s under it. J

 

3. Down to my top 3 is this gown! having it’s blue subtle cloth changes the entire look of the classic white wedding gown, it adds color and it looks perfect on a garden wedding as it also look so fresh and relaxing.


2. I so love this wedding gown because of the way the little bolero jacket creates the most perfect neckline ever. It’s short and very elegant, the belt also drew attention as it perfectly looks good with a simple white shoes. It's very sophisticated and would also work for a vintage theme wedding party. *wink


1. And this dress is my FAVORITE!!! I love how this dress comes with lace arm cuffs that look subtly stunning. Very simple yet it still managed to emphasize its beauty. No need to place too much accessories as the lace speaks for itself already.

So, was I able to give you an idea for your wedding dresses?!

Whatever it is, it doesn’t have to be perfectly made by a professional designer nor filled with Swarovski just remember that your wedding day would be perfect just as long as you have your family, relatives and friends with you, most especially the man whom you would be spending for the rest of your life. Consider God in your relationship at all times and things may be just fine maybe not the way you always want it, but just the way it should be.

Planner Loves♥


“I’m a planner.  And an organizer. If things aren’t planned, I get a teeny bit stressed out.”
              Firstly, I do not really keep a planner with me, years back when I was studying, I often neglect planner gifts from friends thinking that I won’t even use it. But later did I realized that in order to stay organized, I needed to start using a planner for all of my school schedules and plans at the same time.
It was 2012 when I had my first planner, the green centennial planner of my Alma Mater “St. Paul University Manila” and I get so used into it in so many ways.
I believe it became helpful on my part since I’m a type of person who’s highly-organized in terms of ALMOST everything, I always plan ahead making sure that I don’t miss anything, managing my time in the best way that I can so that I’ll be able to comply everything. Daily task, weekly, monthly and even yearly goals I make sure that I jot it down on my planner.
That is how I became too much excited to look for another set of planner when 2013 came, and I felt in love with this simple planner I got from a bookstore. A pink small planner that is very light-weight, it’s cute and it had been very useful for my studies and later on, for my work.
That is how I loved having my planner with me J. And I’ll share it to you how I make use of it in sooooo many ways. 
I jot down my task everyday, my agenda’s and things to do and check it every now and then to make sure that I’ve checked all the task at the end of the day.
I was also able to see my task  clearly in a monthly basis or yearly basis, in which prior events are written for reminders. Making sure that every time my friends and family ask for a get-together or small meet-ups I always check it first with my planner. 


I also stick important memories in my planner like movie tickets, tickets from theater plays I've watched, places I've visited, things I've bought in a form of the price tag, and plane tickets to name a few.

my graduation ticket

Event
Part of the planner is a "Note" page in which you could stick or write anything under the sun. I remember having thoughts every night and I make sure that I wrote it down for me to remember it the next day. 

Aside from this, my planner also served as my best friend and my companion at all times. I make sure I have it inside my bag using colorful pens and writing materials to keep it cute and pretty. Not only did this planner helped me with my everyday task, it made me more organized and structured at the same time.
Try having one for yourself! And love it the same way as I do, you'll be surprised of how you get excited each day to complete your task.!
P.S waiting for my 2014 planner

Ms. Earth Corpo Visit 2013


           Miss Earth Competition a beauty pageant which is widely known by everybody  participated by almost 90 countries all over the world with  the advocacy to promote:  “the preservation and protection of the environment.”


On one hand Ever Bilena Cosmetics as one of the major sponsor of the said pageant had the chance to have its Corpo Visit together with some delegates. The objective of the said visit is for the candidates to be aware of what Ever Bilena Cosmetics is, and what it could do to help them thru the course of the pageant particularly in the field of cosmetics.


Fortunate enough,  that I had the chance to be with this delegates, by having a make-up demonstration / make-up training for them. We have provided make-ups for them to use as well. We were able to share them tips and additional information regarding the proper make-up application and the like. 
It was really heartwarming how they tend to understand every word that I say, every make-up tip that I give and they felt very grateful after the training. It was simple and short but I was happy enough how they were able to appreciate it.



I even also got the chance to mingle and talk to some of them even thanking me for the inputs I have shared for them.



After the make-up demo, series of pictorials took place with the contestants as they were also able to show how confident and beautiful they are.


        

Everybody was friendly enough, and despite all activities for the day, they all still manage to smile in front of the camera with grace.

It was a very exciting day after all, a bright new experience for me, something I haven't thought I could do from the first place but with all means of prayers and practice everything turned out well.
All of the contestants were very pretty, stunning I must say but one thing is for sure, there all normal people too :)) considering they were delegates from their respective countries? Well, I do not think it's an issue after all.


Here's our Marketing team after the said event :)





Tired. But everybody is still in it for another photo op :) (*wink)

Exercise your right to vote!

VIIS

                          May 13,2013 – Election day in the Philippines took place. It was the first time I voted, the first time I was able to exercise my right to vote, and the first time where I participated on the block voting.
Thankfully the scenario on our precinct turns out well. I was able to vote peacefully without too much problems and I was able to vote for the right candidates.

sample ballot 
Other people try to interfere with your set of candidates and make it a big deal!, funny as it seems that they tend to get too much affected about it. But I don't mind, because whatever happens with the result, what would matter most is the development of the country for the next few years.  
This 2013 election just happened for a day but the posters and other paraphernalia used during the campaign period all remains. After a week or two new set of public officials or re-electionist would be serving the Filipino nation.
Whoever they are, let's just hope for a brighter and better future. <3

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!





                 I love my mother yes i do, for she is the one that has been there too!
                 I love my mother yes i do. For if i had no mother like the one i do, i would be lonely, clueless, as well as you. 
                 I love my mother yes i do for she is the one that taught me too as I go on with my life and my future.

Motherhood is pretty tough, a 24 hour job,no pay,no day off, sometimes it is unappreciated, and yet resignation is impossible. A mother is a woman who is created by God to bring love, joy, happiness and caring into his world.



During my graduation day #2013

 And I am forever thankful for having my mom right now. Problems may come as we go on with our journey together but what is important is that we always remain strong and bonded as a family.
We'll have more bondings in the future and I promise to fulfill all of our dreams.


family

You serve as our everything mom :) and we would always be grateful for all of your efforts!


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :) AND WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Job Hunting


After all the parties and greetings from friends and families for graduating in college, what comes next then? 

Yes! exactly, the job hunting process is a must! especially for fresh graduate (like me! ;) who eagerly wanted to have a job!

I personally thought it would be as easy as it could be, but I might be wrong by that, , there might be a lot of venues to look for a job, there's newspapers, the internet and even recommendations from your family members and friends, and what makes it more pretty hard is deciding where to go and what type of job you should really go to? Series of scheduled interview are always there, mails from companies and just even sending your resume online are really making a mark already to the employers. But have we go for it? have we risk our time and efforts into it? Some may say yes, but others may not, because not until we're fully decided with our course of field in the future we cannot fully decide as to where to spend our careers.

I personally applied for numerous big companies in the countries, I received scheduled interviews for some but still waiting for others to call for me. I cannot really focused as of now, I have a lot of dreams and it kills me pretty hard! I wanted to have a job already but as of now, "PATIENCE" might be just the only virtue I should have. :)


Good Luck on my future decisions! and to your decisions as well!

College over!


March 18,2013 - Fleur de lis Theater
After 4 years in college, I was able to fulfill one of my ultimate dream, that is to graduate with a degree with the course I am very comfortable and happy with.

Studying college was not easy as first, it is a mixture of fun and pressure, fun since you're learning a lot everyday and gain a lot of experiences, pressure -- because you also think about of your future that lies ahead of you. 
People around you try to control over your decisions and even give you pieces of advice but then turn out to pull you down. Certain problems do come my way while studying but thankfully I was able to surpassed it, maybe not all of it, but most of it. And I am proud of what I have accomplished in my life so far. 

Like what everybody is telling me, "another chapter is just about to unfold" and to be in the real world would be far different from my college life. It might excites me as of now, but hopefully I could be successful in the near future.

Cheers to all who graduated as well!! #happy2013 :)

Me, as a PR intern

office @ FCC
Nothing can hide how happy I am to become part of a PR firm here @ Full Circle Communications, Inc. located here in Ortigas, Pasig City.I have learned a lot of things from my experience as an intern, and was also able to love the industry of Public Relations more than ever.
with ate Michelle Estrada (MRO of FCC)

Newspaper monitoring for the clients has been my everyday ritual and assignment first thing in the morning. Looking for various articles and PR materials for various clients of the company is always a must.


with VP Binay @ Crowne Plaza, Ortigas for the BPP launching event


Assisting through events is one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done during my practicum, I was able to see and greet various media people and personalities.


Going on a front row for registration was also part of our task. 


UST, Seminar byPRSP


Friends and co-practicumers that I’ve shared my time with, without them, it wouldn’t also be as enjoying as I it would be.

with Co-Interns

With the freebies and products that were always given to us. 

Working inside a PR firm, is a mixture of work and fun, you work while enjoying doing it anyways. Building up relationship and the skills to do it was also one thing I’m gonna keep in mind.A month of my internship in the company was really worth working for. In as much as I also wanted to continue it, maybe another industry still awaits me. <3
