Penumbra: Accessories and Gems

According to Google, Penumbra is the partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an opaque object. This name may sound familiar to you because of the El Gamma Penumbra. The name as something mystical to it.

Gems has that effect too! If you are into gems and their meanings this is a shop you might want to check out. They started early this year but is already having good reviews. They have 2,021 likes on their Facebook page. They also have their items on sale at The Fashionology Boutique in Alabang.

Their accessories are simple and classy, also they are handmade. You can easily pair them with you #OOTD. They have just added gem rings to their line. I got Pointed Crystal Necklace with all the nine pendants. You can choose from Blue Sapphire, Emerald Black Onyx, Tiger's eye,  Amethyst, Jade, Turquoise, Red Onyx
or Orange Sunstone depending on your mood.

If you fancy anything from their line, you can simply message they on Facabook or send a DM on their Instagram account.

Guide: Student to Non Pro!

It was a nice day! Perfect to get my student permit change to a Non-Professional Driver's License! Aside from the fact that my student is about to expire. XD

I am number 5 (yes I know i'm not number 4)

I got it done at LTO Kawit. Be there early! It is best to do the medical before getting your application form from Window 1. It saves time as the cashier for the medical clinic seems to open before anything else. So, to get a Non-Professional Driver's License, you must be 18 years old, physically fit to drive a motorize vehicle and literate in both English and Filipino.

If you pass the criteria above, you require the following, your one month old Student permit, medical certificate not older then 15 days, most LTO branch has their own Medical clinic and most importantly, you have to pass the written and practical exams. You can read more here.

Once, I got my number I waited to be called by the evaluator. They will be the one to retrieve your information. You have to check that everything is up-to-date after all you will be using this ID for 3 years! After the evaluation, you will be asked to wait until the person in charge of the data capture calls you. This is where you will get your photo taken and your signature recorded.

Next, time to pay the fee, the application fee is P167.63, after paying wait for your receipt and move on to the exams. The written exam will only last for one hour and you have to get at least 30 correct answers out of 40 questions to pass. If you pass, you move on to the practical exam. Failing means you can retake the exam after one month.

My practical exam was just with a motorcycle it was the only one I can drive with confidence. After the exam, I was asked to go back to window 7 and wait to be called. At this point, if you pass, you will be asked to pay P417.63 for your license and your done! :)

As Told By Klea: MMTiangge 2016

Hi! My name is Klea! I will be taking over this blog

This is about my first ManikaManila Tiangge. It was held at the SM Light Residences, 8/F Function Room 1 last August 20. 

We got there pretty late. As you can see behind me the traffic in this country is crazy. It was a Saturday and someone, I'm not saying that it's my owner, thought the traffic will be light.

I kinda got mad because I wanted to be there early. To see all the BJDs there and my take awesome photos with them too. Plus, maybe get something for myself. It was after a venue to get new outfits and accessories.

As soon as we got there with filled out the registration form and looked around. I got scared as the all look awesome not to mention well dressed. The set up their owners made are great, it made me feel that I was not suppose to be there.

At this point I was asking my owner to bring me home. She said no and said that I should just be happy to look around.

You can see how small I'm compared to the other dolls. I can't believe that there are so many sizes of dolls. I wish I could be bigger. 

I liked her pretty. I want her dress too! Not sure about who owner her though. 

She belongs to this display. They even have a doll that looks like Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock.

It was pretty and I feel like I belong in that display. Sadly, my color scheme was off and we can't touch the displays. I don't have don't have anything more to say. Please enjoy the other photos below. I just wish the next time we attend my owner is ready!

Owner: Klea look! There is someone that looks like you! She has straight hair though! 

Owner: Klea stop staring!

Klea: But he looks good! I wish I can take a photo with him.

Klea: Wow! Small dolls like me!

Ms. Catherine Jannelle and Ms. MJ Jose 

Klea: hmmm

Owner: Please just pick one

This is Sir Kiko's doll. She survive the fire and was restore! Welcome back!

The only people in the even that my owner knew personally! Achan and Sir Kiko!

Nightlife: Bugso at saGuijo Cafe + Bar

Yes!After the J-Music gig , I was able to a OPM related gig and see Paranoid City. Bugso was the first of a series of gig celebrating Original Pinoy Music! Hosted by ILUSTRADOS and OPM - Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-Aawit. It was my first time at saGuijo Cafe + Bar, it was a surprise for me to see that is was an apartment converted to a bar.

It was also the first time to see Paranoid City play after all this time! It was pretty awesome! I love their energy. They started the event with great music! I wish they were selling their EP! I got to observe the band before and after their set! I like the fact that they look like office men jamming after office hours!

I'm looking forward to seeing them play again! Here is a short video from the gig:
ENJOY!
