For now, this is HELLO!
I'm soooo grateful to be part of the #Blogafam and to learn stuff from the said event.
If you don't know what Blogapalooza is, it is an influencer marketing company that helps businesses and bloggers or influencers to connect and learn from each other. Every year, Blogapalooza also host its one-day event where they gather bloggers and influencers from all over the Philippines, experts, celebrities, and businesses in one roof to learn, unlearn, and relearn everything about blogging and improving your own brand.
This year is my second time with Blogapalooza and I am more than excited to learn more and represent the hijabis in the event.
This year, Blogapalooza is hosted by Janelle Tee which is a social media influencer.
Youtube was the first topic. Jamill, Viy Cortez, and Emman Nimedez were the speakers and they talked about how they started Youtube, their experiences, struggles, technicalities in Youtube and vlogging, as well as tips in vlogging. One thing that struck me the most is what they said about constructive criticism. That we have to acknowledge bashers and haters for us to learn and grow.
Miko David and Nix Eniego's talk is probably what i'm really interested in. Why? Because they mainly talked about tips and tricks on how to garner likes and followers as well as engagement on Facebook and Instagram for us to be marketable to brands and companies in our niche.
Basically, the goal of Blogapalooza is to connect influencers, bloggers, and companies for collaboration that is why aside from the talks, there are a lot of booths from businesses which bloggers can check out. This way, influencers and bloggers might score partnership and sponsorship from different brands and business.

Blogapalooza is not just an event or gathering, it is also a big family of people from different walks of life and from different parts of the Philippines to CONNECT and learn from one another. I'm very very thankful to Blogapalooza for I have met such wonderful people and I have gained friends. We are all #BlogaFam that is connected and bound to elevate influence.
See you next year, #BlogaFam! Inshaallah.
Nobu Hotel is luxury at its finest! That's why we're very lucky to have the chance to stay not just one but two nights in Nobu Hotel for Blogapalooza. Thank you Blogapalooza and Nobu Hotel Manila!
Nobu Hotel is indeed one of the met best hotels in the metro. Luxury, comfort, and excellent services are what truly describes Nobu Hotel and City of Dreams. It is also situated near shopping centers and establishments such as SM Mall of Asia and NAIA. It's a fact that Manila is a busy city and indeed chaotic, thank goodness you can enjoy comfort and serenity in the heart of the city.
Got our key cards! Time to see the room!
Our jaw literally dropped when we entered the room assigned to us! It's gorgeous, spacious, and looks very very comfy. And the view is stunning! We were lucky enough to have the pool view from our window.
The room that we got comes with two comfortable queen-sized beds, a breakfast nook, complimentary fruits, a huge LED TV, hair blower, hot and cold shower, free toiletries, complimentary water bottles and fruits, a speaker, bath towels and robes, a safe, hair blower, and iron.
Entering the bathroom is like entering a spa. Taking a shower in this Japanese and zen inspired toilet is very very soothing and relaxing indeed!
I really had a good sleep! The bed is very comfy!
Waking up to a view like this one is a dream come true!
Mommy Chiclet and I woke extra early for us to enjoy the pool and the garden. It's so beautiful, it is indeed a paradise! And we were lucky enough to enjoy the whole area for ourselves. We made the most of our time there by taking tons and tons of selfies and pictures. Hey it's once in a lifetime chance to enjoy such paradise. So why not!
After enjoying our solitude at the pool, we proceeded to the Nobu Restaurant for the breakfast buffet. And let me tell you, everything was delicious! I wasn't able to take pictures for I truly savored every bite of my food, but it is in the video I made which you can watch above.
Overall, Nobu Hotel is the best hotel I've been and stayed to by far. Booking a room in this hotel is totally worth it. No doubt everyone is raving about this hotel.

It was 8:30 AM, together with other SOX Bloggers we were inside of what I call our "mini school bus" on our way to General Santos City Airport. And conversations about the upcoming Blogapalooza (the reason why we're going to Manila) filled the car, we can't just hide our excitement.
When we reached the airport, we were advise that the flight to Manila was full. We were a bit sad but still hopeful that we can be able to go to Manila for Blogapalooza. And after an hour or so of negotiation, we scored a connecting flight (Gensan-Iloilo-Manila), thanks to our Mommy Chiclet and BlogaMomma AceGapuz. Yes, we were a bit behind with our plans but looking on the brighter side, we were able to set foot in Iloilo even for just a couple of hours. No one is to blame here. Things happen and it's okay. Sometimes, we just got to look in to the positive side of misadventures.
The important thing is we arrived safely in Manila for Blogapalooza!

Through the years, it's always a pleasure flying with PAL. So here are 5 reasons why I love PAL and why I will always choose PAL:
- The seats in economy class are comfortable and spacious.
- Free snacks and drinks!
- Aside from the crew's good looks, they are also very nice and approachable.
- Flights are always on time! Delayed flights rarely happen.
- Clean rest rooms with tissues, soap, and hand sanitizer.
