Wishlist: Stylish Cardigans

Hi Everyone!
Today Im sharing my cardigan craze. 
Though its super hot during the day here in our city I always make sure I bring cardigans in my bag. This is the reason I always have a bulky bag! >.<
I am not so good at dealing with cold air. So even if its not raining but Im inside an air conditioned place/venue I immediately wear my cardigans to protect me. I also wear cardigans when Im still out during the night. Too much exposure to cold air will eventually gave me headache or worst not feeling well. 
Could it be signs of aging? hahaha I dont know. All I know is that I find comfort wearing cardigans when it gets to much cold or windy. 
I am actually shopping online for some new cardigans to add in my closet.  And I found some stylish and great finds at Newchic.com. Since I cant buy them all at once, Im sharing my top picks or should I say wishlist here in my blog.  


Do you like wearing cardigans? 
Any picks from the cardigans Ive shared above?

Hello there midweek! How was your week going on so far?

So instead of writing new year resolutions that I would probably not achieve by the end of the year, I set a theme to guide me for the whole year. My previous themes so far, has helped me to stay on track on what I wanted to achieve and experience for the whole year.  
Last year, I ended having the theme #Travel2015. So Im pursuing the theme #Invest2016 this year. This year will be all about savings and investment. I already have several investment in mind so wish me luck that I shall succeed it and achieve it.
My investment will not be solely about money. It will also be with things and actions that I believe will be vital for myself and my families future.

What I Wore | Sleeveless Lace Dress


It's mid-week and I cant wait for weekend! :D
Here's an outfit I wore at the Gibi Shoes Fun Day event. Attending invites like this, I always consider the venue, what the event is all about and the possible itinerary or happenings in the event, when choosing for an outfit to wear. Most likely casual chic is the usual outfit for this kind of event.
However, since we're going to meet and chitchat with celebrities; Jasmine and Ella before we go to the venue of the event, I choose to wear this lace dress so I will still be stylish yet comfy. And then paired it with a not so high wedge sandals so I can freely move at the event proper after.

I'm honestly having trouble creating blog post right now...
Before I can immediately express what I wanted to share here.
Not that I don't have anything to share... Believe me I have lots of things that I wanted to share to everyone here but I just cant find the words say.
I don't know why...
But I am trying to figure it out. For now I shall bear with my slow pace in writing a new blog post.

Have a great day everyone!

CDOBloggers Christmas Party 2015


Happy new year everyone!
Last December, I attended the year-end gathering of the local bloggers group here in our city. Its been awhile since we've gathered and so its exciting to see everyone again have fun and party. 
Boy Zugba hosted the Christmas party. It was actually my first time to visit the place since its opening early 2015. 
True enough the food is superb. I am not much into chicken inasal but I love the taste and texture of the chicken. Special mention on the delicious atsara that comes with it, I so love it that I've ate a lot. hehe A lot of boggers also rave on the cheezy chorizo they said its delicious, no wonder it was all gone in a snap. :D The dessert was good as well... I was able to finish the whole serve of leche flan when I usually just scoop a teaspoon on other occasions. The mango shake is made with real fruit so thats another plus factor to me. 
Will definitely comeback and try other food listed on their menu.




I was assigned on the games for the party... Glad they all enjoyed it and had a great laugh. The games were Chopstick game, find your Christmas song partner, Japanese dance using paper plate... There was a raffle draw also of where everyone got the chance to win a Jollibee giftchecks, Boy Zugba giftchecks and a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.

Got a prize for the Blogger with the latest CDO related blog post.
After that we also had our annual CDOBloggers Officers election. Im back to being an officer to the organization. 


We ended the party with an exchange gifts and a whole lot of pictures...

Gibi Shoes Fun Day in Cagayan de Oro


Happy weekend everyone? Anyone excited for the coming holidays? I bet most of you already enjoying shopping for your bonus or 13 month pay. :D

Last November 21, I and fellow CDO bloggers spent the afternoon with a quick chitchat with Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis before they head to GIBI Shoes Fun Day held at the Limketkai Center Rotunda.

A photo posted by Venus Smileygal (@venussmileygal) on

Both Jasmine and Ella were so accomodating and friendly. They shared there favorite Gibi shoes of which Ella love the wedge sneakers while Jasmine are into flat shoes. They have also shared that before they endorse Gibi shoes they are already an avid wearer of Gibi Shoes because its reliable and of great quality that last. Jasmine most specially loves to support locally made products.





After the quick chitchat, they went to Limketkai Center where fans and Gibi shoes lovers are waiting for them. The event was filled with great performances from Gibi shoes endorsers Ella Cruz and Jasmine Curtis. Fans was able to get the chance to play with Ella and Jasmine.








After the event, fans was given a chance to meet, greet and have a fan sign with Ella and Jasmine.




On my next post, I'll share my outfit and a shop tour at Gibi Shoes Limketkai Center.
Check out the next Gibi Fun Day at the Gibi Shoes stores near you by following them on social media.
