Not with a fizzle, but with a BANG.

January 1, 2013 As I type my first blog entry for the year, I invite all the roommates to ponder on the memories made in 2012. Look back and appreciate every cut and bruise because these will serve as battle scars to remind you how strong you were and that you will not allow any setback stop you from achieving greatness. Always aim high and DREAM BIG! Welcome the new...

Where the MAGIC happens.

 November 6, 2012.   It's been a while since my last blog entry. We have been on vacation and I think we tried to stay away from anything close to work. We vowed nothing work related while we were away and truth is, blogging kind of felt like work to me, especially since I was looking forward to a non-cerebral week ahead.  We have been planning to get away from...

The Apartment 8 VIP Housewarming Show

What a wonderful world.

 October 20, 2012 A burst of sunshine seeps right under my doorstep as I start to open my eyes. I see shadows moving outside my door. What day is it? It's only 7 o'clock in the morning and people are up early. As I stood up to check out what's been going on, I notice a small note on top of my dresser. The note said: Good morning, Starshine!  Wake...

Just because.

October 13, 2012 A text message from Paris: "Hey you! What are your plans tonight? NYC awaits. Glam up, doll." Hmmm. This is clearly an invitation to go out tonight but as you know, I'm not the kind to stay out late. I'm torn between this long rest I have planned out and joining my best friends for a night out. I'm not a fan of the nightlife but if...

A red reminder.

October 13, 2012. It's a Saturday morning, the sun is up and so am I. I look at my hand, palm faced down and I see a red lipstick smudge that says another Friday night was to blame. This I have to blog about. My day usually starts pretty normal. I wake up, take a shower, look for the classiest ensemble to throw on, click my heels and head out...

Color splat and all that.

October 12, 2012 I begin to write this first blog article sitting on my favorite bean bag whilst gazing out our window onto the busy NYC streets.  People. Cars. Street Performers. Shopping junkies. Flash mobs. This is pretty much the scene outside our apartment. The artist in me has always desired to whip out a paint brush and start painting a picture of this dreamy city. It's been 3 years...

The Apartment 8 VIP Housewarming Party

 October 5, 2012. This is the first time I am ever going to blog. Nobody really knew the excitement I felt while preparing for, what would be, the biggest milestone in our lives. I've always wanted to write down the emotions that gathered in me, but I never really had the right avenue for it. While the pressure starting to build up, the anxiety of opening our doors to the...

MEET OUR ROOMMATES

It's been 3 years living in Manhattan that Blair, Paris and Katy barely had time to catch up with their busy lives. Being best friends has always been something that came easy, since they've known each other for more than 10 years. Leaving their families in Manila and deciding to start a new life in one of the busiest cities in the world was a big step for the 3...
