First Day High: Back to School Giveaway



Holidays are over and it's back to school once again, but not for me. How I really wish I could go now and shop for notebooks, pens, new bag, new shoes and attend the first day of school. Whoa! I really miss studying! I love studying!

I know some of you are excited and some are nervous especially those students who will enter college this semester. College is much better than High School though you will experience more stress and more hell weeks but don't fret 'coz there's so much to get excited about college life.

How being an Advertising major helps me blog better


Let's take a break from product reviews and fashion-related posts. This time I'd like to share with you how my experience as an Advertising major helps me blog better.

I believe I am a born writer, but as a blogger? Nah! I love writing as much as I love Spaghetti al Pesto ^_^.
I started writing poems and essays when I was 10. Actually, I wrote 2 - 3 short stories back then. I also joined
several essay and poem writing contests before and I was lucky enough to grab some awards. *yipee!* I may
not see myself writing posts and hosting giveaways,but now,  here I am ..blogging. 


Last April 21, 2012, I have officially graduated college from LPU - Manila with my Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication major in Advertising. In my 4 years of studying and understanding my course, I really learned a lot not just from books and from my professors but from the real world as well.  

We handled several events, attended seminars/conferences and joined numerous competitions where we made TV ads, Radio ads, print ads, social networking ads and so much more. 

I've been blogging for about  6 months now and  I'm happy to see improvements on my blog. These improvements were achieved by applying these great lessons I've learned as an Advertising student.


1. CREATE AWARENESS

As a blogger, imagine yourself as a businessman and your blog is your product. You want your product to sell and to be known in the market. To achieve this goal, you have to market YOURSELF and your BLOG first. 

*Marketing yourself is the first thing you need to learn. You need to define yourself; why are you blogging? what's your purpose? what's unique about you? You have to let your readers know why should they believe and trust you. 

*Market your blog. No one will buy something that they don't know exists. In order for you to gain readers and followers, you need to promote your blog. Let them know that your blog DO exists!

EAZY FASHION: Your One-Stop Wholesale and Retail Fashion Shop




Clothes, shoes & accessories are girls' bestfriends.  We always wanted to look good.. charming.. fabulous! Being stylish is not as easy as one plus one, you need to have a good taste on fabrics, colors and cuts and of course, a good amount of penny (we all know that) but if you can't buy expensive clothes and you're on a tight budget, never worry. Remember girls, Fashion isn't about BRAND, it's about STYLE.

Online shopping becomes more and more popular now and it's great to see that our fellow entrepreneurs are engaging themselves on this kind of business. There are many online stores to choose from but few offers high quality products at affordable prices .. and one of them is Eazy Fashion.

Eazy fashion is a wholesale and retail fashion shop that carries fashion accessories from Asian countries like Korea, Japan and many more.
Eazy Fashion Humble Beginnings
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.” - George Bernard Shaw
Roots  
The need to have an affordable source of fashion accessories that are in pulse with the latest fashion trends around the world is growing. This is the reason why Eazy Fashion was born.The company rolled out its stylish and posh products in an online store in Multiply just in March 15, 2011. Fortunately, the growing demand for Asian accessories more importantly from Korea and Japan triggered the expansion and establishment of its own corporate office.
Today, Eazy Fashion is known as one of the most reliable online suppliers for fashion accessories and apparel and had 
been able to cater more than a thousand of customers online.

5 PM Routine


Few days left before my graduation and I really really need to get fit or should I say, slim? haha. Well, I'm not as fat as before, I just need to keep this figure. Back to my good old days, I belong to those people they called 'mataba' . It's really frustrating. You want to wear something but you can' t because it doesn't fit you; and if you insist , you will look like Suman . The worst thing about I-want-to-get-fit is that, I am not a gym lover or exercise lover. I am so stubborn and I hate exercising. I tried a lot of diets - from what they called After 6 to Water diet. Yes, I saw some good results but I guess they aren't enough. I still have these BIG ARMS and BIG LEGS plus a getting-bigger belly haha.

As I was saying, I only have less than 2 weeks to get fit. Yup! 2 weeks. Well, I guess I need a miracle! But unfortunately, like what Nora Aunor said "walang himala". I have to do something. I need to exercise. It feels like it's ALL OR NOTHING. So a week ago, I started this mixed aero-kickbox exercise.  I can't afford to enroll on a gym or aerobics class , I find them expensive. There are free aerobic classes nearby but most members are senior citizens. Ahem, I'm still young, haha. So there, I searched some aerobic and kickboxing exercises on Youtube. I'm glad I found great videos and I wanna share it with you guys.

Related Posts with Thumbnail plugin? Get it here!

Last time, I looked for a Tag Cloud maker for my blog. Fortunately I found a tag cloud generator. This time, I am dying to have a 'related post' widget. I've seen a lot of 'tips' on how to have a related post widget with thumbnail, but unfortunately all of them were a 'lil bit hard to do because you need to 'hack' your blogger HTML code. Yup! - you have to look for a certain tag/word then paste a code after it. Good heavens! I am not into hacking! ahahah! well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to change anything on my blog's HTML code. I'm a bit nervous about it and I don't want to do any harm on my blog. So I searched for a safer way to get it and voila! I found one - Linkwithin!

Girl in what?








I changed the blog title from Phampkin's Simple Pleasures to Girl in Pink Stilettos. Why Pink Stiletto?  because for me, Pink symbolizes confidence, girly, fun and youthful. The copy 'Beauty . Fashion . Voyage and everything nice'  shows what this blog is all about.

On 'Beauty' - I am into product sampling. If you will browse through this blog, you will see some of them.

On 'Fashion' - I love fashion so much. I have accounts on Chictopia, Lookbook and Polyvore - which is my favorite. You will see my Polyvore collection on the lower part of my blog.

On 'Voyage' - Voyage means journey or traveling. I like to travel a lot. Traveling makes me breath for a while. It's nice to visit places I've never been before. Try it!

and On 'everything nice' - take it as it is. Anything that is interesting to me will be written down here.

I like the header too. It's cute, isn't it? :) I made this one on paint, ahaha, 'coz I am not good in photoshop; aside from that Paint is much easier. What I like about this logo is the Font and how it is executed.

So there you are guys! keep visiting my blog, follow me 'coz I have more to give... I have more to write. So expect MORE , MORE and MORE!


- I am Pamela, the Girl in Pink Stilletos -
