The first time I saw this video clip of Good Morning America’s feature about Antigravity Aerial Yoga, I super wanted to try it. Now that it’s already in Manila, I still haven’t tried it yet since time doesn’t permit me to.

Fly Yoga or Antigravity Aerial Yoga is a mix of different yoga techniques with the help of the AntiGravity Hammock. It acts as a soft trapeze and support while doing basic inversions and poses. It’s just like doing an act in Cirque du Soleil!

I seriously hope I could try it soon. How about you, what do you want to try to do? Share them with me.

I’ve been so busy for the past few weeks that I forgot to blog for the past 2 weeks (eeep!). With my busy schedule and all, I still try to find the to unwind and just relax at the end of a busy day. Here are some of the things that make me smile:

1. Briana and Bryce

These 2 little girls never fail to put a smile on my face whenever I’m having a busy or bad day. Their laughter and smiles brighten up our moods at the house and we just end up smiling the whole day.

2. Temple Run

When I get addicted to games on my iPhone, I seriously get hooked. During the long weekend, I used my idle time to play Temple Run and beat my high score. I got shocked to see the scores of my friends (some of them got more than 4M points!) and challenged myself that I’ll beat their top scores. My highest to date is around 2M and I’m aiming to at least reach 5M at the end of the week.

3. Pinterest

I’ve been having a hard time sleeping for the past few weeks. While I’m in insomnia mode, I keep myself busy by browsing Pinterest. Macy mentioned this to me a long time ago but it was just only recently that I signed up and created my own boards. It’s so addicting! It’s like Tumblr but more categorized and organized.

4. Viral Videos and Twitter Accounts
There have been a lot of Twitter accounts created and videos uploaded on YouTube that makes me ROFL. One of the Twitter accounts I recently followed is @conyoproblems. It gives me a good laugh with the shallow tweets the owner posted about how rich kids talk. Similar to the Twitter post is this YouTube video. So funny!

Simple things can bring a smile to our faces. We just have to learn how to release and relax at the end of the day. What are the simple things that make you smile?

Another year has begun! It’s time for a fresh start and make new memories that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. 2011 was a roller coaster ride for the most of us. A lot of amazing things have happened with Candy and Candymag.com for the past year and we can’t thank you, the Candy Girls, enough for giving your utmost support to the “#1 Teen Magazine in the Philippines” and “Your Best-est Friend Online” all these years. We promise to give you a better, if not the best, year of laughter, happiness, love, kilig moments, and bonding times in 2012.

Happy New Year, Candy Girls!

It’s been a yearly tradition for the Candy Team to do a sort of not-surprise-but-fun exchange gift. After our annual Christmas lunch, we would raffle off our names and see our “babies.” Right at the time we get their names, we would go to the store where our babies would like to get their gifts and buy it for them with a budget of P500. The thrill of the unknowing might not be there anymore but the joy of buying stuff for your good friends is cute and fun.

Lunch at C2 in Shangri-La Plaza

Mommy Stephie got baby Marla a top

Mommy Angel got baby Stephie a skirt

I got my baby Sam a cardigan

Mommy Macy got baby Mimi some stuff from Marks & Spencer

Mommy Mimi gave baby Dyan money cause she couldn't find the earphones she wanted

My mommy Dyan gave me cash too cause the store didn't have the top I wanted in my size :(

Have you exchanged gifts with your friends for Christmas? What did you get?

Spreading the Christmas Cheer,

It’s been more than a year since BonChon opened its first branch in Ayala Triangle and until now, it never fails to make us feel excited whenever we plan to eat their deep fried chicken. Earlier today, the team and I trouped to BonChon Greenbelt 1 and got surprised with what they served on our table:

A box with 50 pieces of BonChon’s chicken wings!!! Imagine our surprise when we saw the box. Major chicken overload! It’s called “The Big BonChon Box.” It’s a choice 50 wings or 32 chops that you can order for parties and gatherings. Besides the chicken madness, we also got to try their other best sellers–fish tacos, bulgogi rice, and the newest, chapchae. The noodles was super yum!

Fish tacos, bulgogi rice and chapchae

Starting this month, you can now purchase gift certificates worth P200 and P500 that give your friends and family as a present this Christmas. I think I need a couple to give to my uncles and aunties.

What do you love about BonChon? Share them with us!
