There’s beauty in power—and power in beauty. That, in essence, is what Renee Alcantara found out.


Running her own company Southwest Persues Construction and Development Corporation as its President and CEO entails making important decisions day in and day out. She has to face different people—business partners, suppliers, and government officials in the course of her work.

Early on, Renee realized that it’s not easy being a boss at what many consider as “a man’s world”—the construction industry. “I have to assert myself as a woman and know the ins and outs of the business like the back of my hand. It is a difficult job, but one that I’ve learned to love,” Renee points out.


She says her success took years of hard work,  but the pay off is fulfilling.

Because of her position and status, Renee cannot  take chances with how she looks and how she presents herself to others.

According to Renee, beauty has a very  important role in her career and personal life because it makes her feel confident. “For me, looking good translates to feeling good,” she  explains.

Enchanted Kingdom is probably old news for those who have visited the theme park already. Thanks to our school's field trip itinerary, we can tell that we've been to the Philippines' theme park that's closest to Disneyland. hihi


My recent trip to Enchanted Kingdom is my third visit already. I am not expecting so much because I think I've probably enjoyed every single ride during my first two visits. However, going to this theme park with a different set of clique recently made me realize that this place is worth visiting again. <3

Because it's November 2 already, every Starbucks fan knows what this day means! It's the time of the year once again for the collection of beverage stickers to be able to get the highly-coveted Starbucks planners! ;)

But before we get into that, in case you missed the Starbucks Grand Christmas Launch last October 29 and 30, you can check out snippets of what happened on the video below. Hit the play button below!
