Philippines Survival Kit: What Clothes to Bring in the Philippines this June

-
Here are some clothes you need to bring this JUNE:

EXPATS:

1. Formal attire (Americana or Barong). If you plan to
travel light, you may buy your clothes at the Mall.
We are known for our Malls.

But... if you size is extra size or extra small, best to
bring your size.


2.  Semi-formal attire. Best to buy in the Philippines,
because the clothes are sewn just right for our weather.

Typically semi-formal attires for men are:

a. Pants in polyester cotton. We do not wear wool
in the Philippines because of our weather. Good kind.

b. Polo or if you really liked to wear t-shirts, make sure you
have wear a blazer for men.

c. Good kind of socks.

d. Leather shoes

3. Smart Casual Attire

Smart casual attire is great when you go around the country.

City Walking:

1. Jeans
2. T-shirts in cotton

Country Walking

1. Pants for men (not too short), or too long.
Just the right fit.

Type of cloth is cotton.

2. T-shirt without collar.

Beach

1. Swim trunks
2. Full swimming attire covering the navel part - this is
in case there are jelly fishes around. Watch out for them.

LADIES

1. Formal Attire

This depends on the occasion, you may wear a gown or a
"terno". Best to buy in the Philippines.

2. Semi Formal Attire

Safest side is usually an office attire. Skirt and blouse with
collar, leather shoes.

If you opt wearing ladies pants, not too tight to tell them you are
a lady, not to loose to show them you are a woman.  Best to cover
cleavages as this give wrong signals.

3. Casual Attire

Jeans (not too tight or too loose), feminine walking flip flops or
feminine rubber shoes, walking shoes.

Feminine t-shirts (no cleavage shown especially for the teens to
avoid giving wrong signals - I hope you know what I mean.).

4. Beach Attire

Bathing suit that covers the navel part, to avoid jelly fish
catastrophe. Two piece swimsuit is not advisable this upcoming
June till August.

5. Foot wear

Formal Attire: leather shoes
Semi-formal attire: synthetic leather or leather shoes.
Casual attire: walking shoes (synthetic leather or leather), flip flops (Islander is the best so far), rubber shoes
Beach Attire: rubber slippers

Should you stay at a short term stay in Novaliches, there are lots of places where you can buy clothes at a super cheap price. If you want branded clothes there are also malls nearby which can fit you.
Unless your size is extra exotic, best to bring your size then.

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and

by: Alvin and Queenie   Here are some family collection photos which we will share with our blog readers. We took this during our family excursions. We will be posting more Church pictures in this page to help our readers plan for their wedding. Parokya ng Pagkabuhay Parish (Resurrection Parish) in Novaliches The Resurrection Parish is a church built by the Franciscan Friars. It was a wooden Church before, later on it was re-constructed. It is still a small Church in a small village. I would call it a clandestine Church, because its near two villages. It can accommodate around 100 guests. Here you can have your children baptized too.   St. Bartholomew Church in Novaliches St. Bartholomew Church or locally called "San Bartolome Parish" This church is big and it can hold 5oo guests. It has a bamboo organ, and a big choir loft, and even have side seats, in case you have more than 500 guests. This Catholic Church near the furnished apartment in Novaliches   Just 10 minutes jeepne

All Saints and All Souls Day Coming Up in Novaliches, Quezon City

Image
by Charles Bolanos All Saints and All Souls Day is a special day in the Philippines. This is the day when we remember the Saints and our beloved departed relatives and friends. Officially we do not have classes on 1 November and 2 November because that is when we are busiest. The government of the  past years typically cancels work on the 30th of October till 3 November. The reason for this is because of the people going to their respective provinces or homes where we gather and celebrate as early as 31st of October. Some even went to a point of sleeping overnight from 31st of October till 2 November. 1 November is actually a feast day as we commemorate those who have lived saintly lives. 2 November is not, but we offer Holy Masses till 30th of November for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. We believe that we gain Plenary Indulgences for them so they have a short stay in Purgatory, since we know that not all of our friends and relatives are saints...Oth
