HAZEL WRITES: Meeting Maja Salvador

Thankfully, after days and nights of being confined in the hospital,

 due to extremely low white blood cell count, I was able to get back up 

and finally be able to do what I love...which is (believe me or not)...to work!

Headed to annex with the whole Inside Showbiz and Celebrity Mom magazine team for two major shoots! Talk about being productive and professional, despite...everything? 

As of press time, we still keep our "Maja Salvador project" confidential and under the covers, but we sure do believe you are going to love what we've worked on. I promise. 

After a whole day of all the work, we were able to have a good time chatting about real life, and it has always been such a blessing for me as a writer to be able to have an access to the "real" side of celebrities like Maja Salvador...a side where the stars are just people--people (as in) like you and I. 

I can't wait to tell you the things we have talked about and what I learned from her being someone who has been in such a glamorous but crazy cut-throat industry. She is such a girl with a bubbly and energetic aura but at the same time, a woman full of wisdom and independence. 

Catch more of that on my next blog entry soon, okay?

MEANWHILE....(Behind the scenes)

Shoots = Free (pig out) Food

Stripes Day? We didn't get the memo. But looks like we had this unspoken imaginary agreement to wear stripes today. 

Me, Maricel Salvador (Graphic Artist/Art Director of Celebrity Mom), Chelsea (Writer of Celebrity Mom), Ms. Fatima (Executive Editor of Celebrity Mom)

50 Shades of Gray.....we mean, the literal color, okay?

Mina Cruzada (Graphic Artist of Inside Showbiz), Jerick Sanchez (Photographer from Studio100), and me.

It's a wrap!

Now, time to bond with the team for coffee. 

And by "coffee" I meant FREE coffee. 

Therefore, my lola face.

A Real Taste of Fulfilment

Writing articles could make me feel good for a day or two. But handwriting letters to children through the first pages of their books, telling them that they are bound to live a life worth living will forever fulfill my heart!

Thanks for the wonderful opportunity Bear Brand  — at Museong Pambata - Manila.

Hospitalized but Healed

Awtsuuuuu. We meet again, dextrose! :(

Hello, so I got food poisoned. Yes, vomitting and LBM tragedy. Just a request for prayers upon my white blood cells count, it's way lower than normal. But faithfully claiming my healing! :) 

There's no better medicine than being thankful for these best peeps;

Thanks Chappy for the pagbabantay while I'm maputlang-haggard-looking and for helping out with my hospital documents, Ate Trish, James & Leigh for the kwentuhan, and Mama for EVERYTHING @booleighleigh @charlescarino @trishvinoya ‪#‎HealedInJesusName‬

SPOTTED: Kathryn Bernardo shares JUICY details about Christmas gift for Daniel Padilla

It was a dainty and sweet afternoon filled with all things pink (and pastel blue) when writers and beauty bloggers altogether enjoyed a buffet of desserts like macarons, marshmallows and cookies at Stacy's Cafe in Capitol Heights, Quezon City. 

At the same time, it was also a #JuicyfiedBlogcon afternoon in celebration of ABS-CBN Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo's two-year partnership with Juicy Cologne. Kathryn has long been using Juicy cologne when she was younger being that she find the sweet scent close to her sweet personality. 

And if Kathryn Bernardo would name her own Juicy Cologne variant someday, she would call it "Cloudy Cotton," Kathryn explains, "Parang cotton candy siguro [yung amoy]. Mahilig po kasi ako sa soft scents lang."

And just because Christmas is just around the corner, I couldn't help but ask her about how she prepares for Christmas and what Christmas gift she has in mind to give to her special leading man Daniel Padilla. Here's what she said: 

"Ngayong Christmas, I'm really looking forward na mas magkaroon ang ng bonding moments with my friends, sina Julia [Montes], sina Miles [Ocampo], kasi sobrang busy namin halos di na kami makapagkwentuhan. Also, time for my family rin. Ni-lu-look forward ko rin yun."

"Of course, I also try to personally buy Christmas gifts para sa mga taong malalapit sa akin. Gusto ko yung pinagiisipan ko talaga. Minsan pagbusy talaga ililista ko na lang tapos ipapabili ko. About gift for DJ naman, pinagiisipan ko na. Haha!"

"Mahilig po sya sa music eh. So, I'm thinking of giving him something music related!"

MEANWHILE...

I also personally do have a dainty personality. And I couldn't help but wander around this pretty cafe that was sooooo ME. hahaha! 

At a pretty cafe called "Stacy's"...but I loved it too much, I decided to call it "Hazie's" <3 #dreamBIG #WearYourApron #work

Ate Rose and Ate Joy of Stacy's :) I will forever enjoy meeting new people and asking them about life!

Ate from Stacy's told me, "You can take home desserts." So I panicked. And then she panicked because I panicked. #SweetnessIsMyWeakness

FUN TIME: Normal People VS. Me

Sometimes I feel like I ain't normal.....but then I hold my head up and say "No! I'm LIMITED EDITION!"
