SIAN / EBEN and the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail
SIAN / EBEN and the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail
Celtic Connections
Dates and times
Born of the ongoing partnership between Fèis Rois and Festival Interceltique de Lorient, this UK première performance follows its debut in 2019, as part of the latter event's New Leurenn ('New Scene') programme, which highlights emerging talents. The project brings together stellar young Gaelic song trio SIAN - Ceitlin Lilidh, Eilidh Cormack and Ellen MacDonald - renowned for their focus on female bards and forward-looking musical approach, with Breton counterparts EBEN - Sterenn Le Guillou, Marine Lavigne and Enora Jegou.
Taking turns to sing in their own and each other's languages, they explore such common ground as the likenesses between Gaelic puirt-a-beul and Breton kan-ha-diskan (call and response songs), both forms of vocal dance music. Completing the line-up are three master musicians representing each territory: Scotland's Duncan Chisholm (fiddle), James Ross (piano) and Jarlath Henderson (pipes, alongside Brittany's Jonathan Dour (violin); Antoine Lahay (guitar) and Julien Stevenen (double bass).
Support for the evening will come from the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail, featuring five young musicians between the ages of 16 and 25. This project provides a professional development opportunity and a stepping stone between studying and launching a career as a performing artist. Featured tonight will be Gillie O'Flaherty (guitar), Olivia Gubbins (fiddle), James Bauld (flute and whistles), Holli Scott (fiddle) and Ciorstaidh Chaimbeul (accordion and vocals).

Beautiful, durable countertops are the foundation for a well-loved kitchen. They add an aesthetic quality and play an integral part in many family memories. It is essential to choose the right countertops to suit your lifestyle. Today, you can learn which type is best for you.
Quartz is a nice choice if you plan to be in your home at least 10 years. It is a manmade stone engineered with quartz crystals and a resin. Quartz is easy to clean, very durable and highly stain-resistant making it a good choice to achieve an elegant look even if you have a high traffic kitchen. Since it isn't porous like some stones, it is much easier to keep bacteria-free. Although it often lacks color variation since it is manmade, color can be added to customize the appearance. It is considered low maintenance.
Granite is the ideal countertop for you if you value elegance and do not mind the cost. It is considered medium maintenance. Expect to wipe up any spills since it can absorb stains. Granite will not fade and has unique patterns to add color and character to your kitchen. It is considered a sanitary surface. Granite is fairly tough in resisting damage from knives and hot pans, however it's still recommended to used cutting boards and hot pads.
Both marble and travertine are elegant stones that are considered high maintenance since they require regular sealing and are prone to stains or damage due to hot pots. Marble maintains a cool temperature since it is unable to conduct heat. This makes it a great surface for pastry doughs if you like to bake.
Our kitchen countertops should be reflective of our lifestyle and equipped to handle what comes with the territory. Bear in mind the benefits each countertop provides when making your decision.

The Apple AirPods, might not be as revolutionary, as say the iPhone or the Mac, but they certainly are one of the best products Apple has ever made. Say what you will, after the Apple AirPods arrived, almost every company has been trying its hand at truly wireless earbuds. Well, the AirPods are definitely great wireless earbuds due to a number of reasons. The pairing process is seamless, and they can can last long, thanks to the charging case, which lets you listen to music for almost 24 hours before you run out of juice. Having said that, AirPods do have their flaws as well. The AirPods don't fit too well for everyone, they are quite pricey and the sound quality is strictly decent when you consider the price.
So, if you are looking for truly wireless earbuds that can match AirPods features, its battery life and bring better sound quality at a more affordable price, or you are just looking to for an alternative to AirPods for your Android or iOS device, you have come to the right place. Here are the 10 best AirPods alternatives that you can buy right now:
Best AirPods Alternatives You Can Buy
1. Jabra Elite Active 65t
When it comes to truly wireless earbuds, the Jabra Elite Active 65t is one of the best ones that you can buy. First of all, the Jabra Elite Active 65t come with a secure-fitting design with interchangeable tips that can fit any ear shape and size. The earbuds themselves pack in 5 hours of listening time with an additional 10 hours of charge in the case giving you an excellent 15 hours of listening time in one go. The Jabra Elite Active 65t also sound great as they have a better sound profile than the AirPods.
I also love the fact that the Jabra Elite Active 65t can work with a voice assistant of your choice as it supports Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant for Android users. That gives it a huge advantage over AirPods. Another thing that I love about these earbuds are that they are IP56 rated with a two-year warranty against dust and sweat. In contrast, AirPods don't come with any IP rating at all. The Jabra Elite Active 65t is overall a better product than AirPods and hence it has taken the top spot on our list.
Buy From Amazon: $189.99
2. BeatsX Earphones
One of the biggest advantage that AirPods have over other Bluetooth earbuds is the Apple-designed custom W1 chip which allows it connect to your iPhone seamlessly. Well, if that is something that you don't want to sacrifice and yet still want a better sounding pair of earbuds, than take a look at BeatsX wireless earphones. While the BeatsX wireless earbuds are not truly wireless (there's a wire connecting the two ends), if that's not something that matters to you, it will be the perfect AirPods alternative for you. In fact, I have been using BeatsX for the past year and I chose it over AirPods for precisely three reasons.
First of all, the BeatsX sound better. It brings a better sound profile with better-pronounced bass which is important for me. I also love the customizable tip design with support for ear-fins which means they fit snugly in my ears and don't fall off whether I am playing sports, running, or doing any high-intensity workout. Finally, they offer 8 hours of listening time on a single charge and can replenish pretty fast with 2 hours of additional playback with just 5 minutes of charge. As I said, I have been using BeatsX wireless for almost a year now, and I love it.
Buy From Amazon: $99.95
3. Earin M-2
The Earin M-2 is one of the best and certainly the smallest Bluetooth earbuds that you can find on the market. Yes, they are a bit pricier, however, if money is no concern for you, you should definitely check them out. Let's start with the build. The Earin M-2 is built pretty well and come inside a small capsule which can literally fit anywhere. The buds themselves are tiny. While it doesn't matter, I would like to point out that they also look pretty cute. I do hate the micro USB charging port as I was hoping for USB-C, particularly at this price point. While the Earin M-2 doesn't come with interchangeable tips, the original tips are made of a material which react to the heat produced by your ears and conform to its size for a perfect fit.
There are no buttons here, instead, both the earbuds have a touch-sensitive surface at the end which you can tap to take or disconnect calls, play and pause music, or call on your choice of voice assistant (supports Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri). The biggest pro of Earin M-2 is its sound quality. The earbuds sound spacious despite their tiny size and also offer good noise cancellation. They are rated for 4 hours of music playback with an additional 10 hours of charge in the capsule. As I said at the start, if you can swallow its price, the Earin M-2 can easily replace the AirPods for you.
Buy From Earin: $249
4. JayBird Run XT
If there's a brand which is known for consistently making great wireless earbuds it's JayBird. The JayBird Run XT are the truly wireless earbuds from the company which it markets for active people. The earbuds sport IPX7 water and sweat resistance rating making it a perfect companion for exercising, running or doing any other high-intensity workout. The JayBird Run XT also comes with interchangeable silicone tips and ear-fins which should ensure a tight and snug fit in your ears. The battery life is also great with 4 hours of playback time on earbuds with an additional 8 hours of charge in the case.
Both the sound quality and noise reduction are also pretty good considering the size of the earbuds. That said, not everything is rosy here. I do hate the fact that the earbuds only support one-click functions on the buttons. So, you will have to choose between actions like calling voice assistant or play/pause or volume up/down which is not great. I want to have all these actions available to me on a wireless earbud which is not the case here. That said, if that is something you can live with, you can check them out.
Buy From Amazon: $179.99
5. Sony WF-SP700N
The Sony WF-SP700N are a good pair of wireless earbuds that have a lot of things going for them. First of all, I like their unique design and build quality. While it's made of plastic like all the other earbuds on this list including AirPods, the material feels soft to touch and quite comfortable. I also love the fact that they come with active noise cancellation mode including an ambient sound mode which lets the outside sound in making it great for outside runs or a walk in the city. The Sony WF-SP700N is also splash-proof and comes with an IPX4 rating.
While it's not the best rating we have seen, it is better than having no rating at all (looking at you AirPods). They also sound really good for their size and the sound quality is pretty solid. That said, I dislike the 3 hour playback time which is lower than the 4 hours promised by its competitors. The charging case is no help either because despite being bulky it only holds an additional 6 hours of charge. That said, if you live in a city and like going for runs on the streets, the ambient sound feature will really help you a lot. Well, the question here is if are you ready to sacrifice a few hours of battery life for this feature or not.
Buy From Amazon: $178
6. Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless Earbuds
Another pair of truly wireless earbuds come from the home of Skullcandy, a brand that I have used and adored in the past. While the design of the earbuds is not drastically different from some of the other offerings on this list, I do love the color and the skull logo. The build quality is great here and they are also water resistant, that said, I am not clear about the IP rating on these, but Skullcandy does claim that they are water resistant. The Skullcandy Push offers a very good battery life with 12 hours of playback time including the charge in the case. What I love about the battery life is that the earbuds themselves hold 6 hours of charge which is way more than any other wireless earbuds on the market.
There is one button on each earbud which can be used for all the usual functions that you can expect including calling upon voice assistant, taking or ignoring calls, play/pause music and more. The Skullcandy Push also deliver one of the best bass experiences on any wireless earbuds. They are also cheaper than all the above earbuds so you should definitely give them a chance.
Buy From Skullcandy: $129.99
7. Kissral Bluetooth 5.0 True Wireless Earbuds
Till now we have only discussed wireless earbuds which cost upwards of $100 which is not a price point that everybody is comfortable with. Well, if you are looking for a cheap pair of wireless earbuds, check out the Kissral truly wireless earbuds which come with Bluetooth 5.0 onboard which means a better connection and longer range along with higher transmission speed and lower power dissipation. The earbuds also produce great sound given their price, with thumping bass and overall wide sound profile. The battery life is good too with earbuds holding charge up to 3.5 hours with the case holding an addition 4 hours.
That said, the price cut does come with certain disadvantages. You lose out on advanced features such as voice assistant activation, water resistance, noise cancellation, and more. However, if these features do not matter much to you and you're just looking for a pair of great sounding wireless earphones, the Kissral wireless earbuds are great for its price.
Buy From Amazon: $39.99
8. SoundPEATS Bluetooth Earphones
If you are like me and don't prefer truly wireless earbuds, and you'd rather have a wire connecting them, then the SoundPEATS Bluetooth earphones are for you. The earbuds produce very good sound quality with good bass and treble. The battery life is also great with 8 hours of calling or playback time and about 100 hours of standby time. The earbuds also come with customizable accessories which include 3 pairs of normal earbuds tips and with 2 additional sizes of large and small sizes to ensure a secure fit.
The thing that I love most about these earbuds is that despite falling in the budget category, these earbuds are IPX6 certified. That means you don't have to worry about sweat or rain while you are wearing these. That is a huge feature at this price point and you should certainly consider it before moving on to a different option.
Buy From Amazon: $28.99
9. TBI Pro Wireless Earbuds
Another great pair of budget earbuds is the TBI pro wireless earbuds which bring good acoustic design and cutting-edge HI-FI stereo sound and deliver a clean treble response with distortion-free bass. You also get customizable tip sizes along with ear-fins for a secure fit. The earbuds promise 24 hours of playback time which includes the case, however, you should expect around 15 hours of playback time with 8 hours of call time. The earbuds use a silicon foam tip which makes them quite comfortable to wear even for long music listening sessions. Overall, the TBI pro are a great pair of budget earphones for anyone looking for a cheaper AirPods alternative.
Buy From Amazon: $49.99
The last earbuds on our list are the TNSO E18 which is yet another pair of budget truly wireless earbuds. The earbuds are built pretty well considering their price and also deliver good quality audio. That said, don't expect extra bass thump from these as they produce a more balanced sound, which is something a lot of people prefer. One of the good things about these earbuds is that they sync is really fast. When it comes to battery life the TNSO E18 can last up to 12 hours (including the battery in case) which is quite decent. It also supports fast charging and brings a braided and strong cable in the box which is not something you see in this price range. Overall, while the TNSO E18 doesn't bring anything exceptional, it is an excellent pair of budget wireless earphones.
Buy From Amazon: $37.99

North Queensland is emerging from a tough period, with 2018 a critical year to continue that momentum.
The most recent PVW Partners' Business Confidence Index indicated a rise in business confidence across Townsville by 6.1 points; a positive trend for the sixth consecutive quarter. There are currently 84 projects in the construction phase in Townsville North Queensland with a value of over $16.2 M and a number of opportunities available in the medium to long-term. It is also welcomed news that 12,200 people gained either full-time or part-time employment in the region across the past 12 months. This is off the back of over $2B worth of public infrastructure projects now underway and the private investment that has followed suit.
While we are moving ahead, we are not ignorant of the fact that there are a number of people and businesses still hurting. Our region continues to battle several social and economic issues such as crime, and even crocodiles, with these challenges impacting confidence, business and even visitation.
This year, we must all work harder and more collaboratively to secure further public and private investment, with our role at Townsville Enterprise to rally the troops and drive that action.
Our 2018 State and Federal Government Budget Priorities will still largely focus on securing vital funding commitments towards water and energy. In addition, projects seeking funding across destination/tourism development, critical enabling infrastructure, innovation and new industries and Defence will also form a part of our budget submissions, as we, and our partners, work towards establishing Townsville North Queensland as a globally recognised city and region.
Our recovery by and large is happening by design, not by accident or divine intervention. With our community taking up the challenge and by government listening and taking action, we are on the road to recovery, as we begin 2018 with confidence, optimism and our sleeves rolled up.
We look forward to continue working with our members and partners throughout 2018 and ensuring the region maintains an upwards trajectory towards long term prosperity. This year is not about being politically correct; it's about driving change, and we will continue to be a loud voice for the region in securing the future of Townsville North Queensland.

Iris flower necklace, handmade with vintage postage stamp from Deutsche Bundepost in the early 1980s, silver plated pendant with length adjustable chain.The West German postal agency Deutsche Bundepost released the flower stamps circa 1980-81 and this one was removed from an envelope postmarked 1982. The stamp is used, it has visible cancellation mark and a small, light, surface stain which the glaze would not adhere to (marked in the second image) its quite lovely, and adds to the intrigue: what kind of news did this stamp carry and what did it go through to end up with a permanent mark? Details: the original postage stamp is set under glass, in a shiny silver plated 35mm round pendant setting, and comes on 24" long silver plated ball and chain necklace, easily trims to shorter lengths.

The Value of Arts and Culture and Their Potential in Transatlantic Relations: Propaganda or Value Based Exchange?
How can art and culture get the societal recognition of their importance and their function as tool for international - and transatlantic relations?
The context of the Marshall Memorial Fellowhsip is an excellent base for discussion and development of culture (or we could also talk about culture and creative industries). The dialogue between professionals from different sectors is just what is needed to advance, co-create and spread knowledge about the sectors impact.
The value of art & culture – and art based on values
Culture has the potential to channel many global issues as immigration, climate change, public policy and many other topics. The arts are an intelligent means of communication as they can make people feel. Art talks to your heart as much as to your head. The feeling anchors the understanding.
Paul Smith, director at the British Council in Washington, DC was one of the people I spoke to during my fellowship about values and cultural relations. Among other things, he told me about the tragic incident in Baghdad when a suicide bomber had attacked the British Council. The extremists apparently had understood the power of what art and culture can convey.
In general in our societies, culture is not enough valued. There are many different reasons. 1) The arts often mean self-reflection, which can be uncomfortable for some; 2) Culture sectors are still lacking in the tools, language and transparency for demonstrating their value; 3) unarguable is the fact that people need their basic needs fulfilled first: food, accommodation, health, education; 4) there are prejudices about the creative industries standing in opposition to other sectors instead of realizing the beneficial potentiality of their integration.
In the U.S. I explored some local initiatives, including bottom up initiatives and community development. In Pittsburgh, the Buhl Foundation commits to a longterm plan of twenty years to reboot and rebuild one of the city's poorest communities – together with the citizens, based on their needs. Artistic elements are also used, like co-creation of works in the public spaces and concerts for the inhabitants.
In San Antonio's west side lower income communities, arts engagement is a tool for keeping young people off the streets; the center 'San Anton' co-creates murals across the neighborhood with local artists. 'Mujeres para los artes' engages women of different ages in handcraft and arts creation as a means for well-being. The organization 'Say SI' shows that the arts creation they engage youth in is an excellent means for succeeding school graduation.
The European and American creative industries could exchange on many topics given the different development of the continents. As an example, Americans possibly have been more compelled to look at the economic value of the arts in the funding system, due to the local basic societal values — financial prosperity and independence.
In Europe, however, due to the anchor of the art history for millenniums, art is more self-valued — arts for art's sake. Thus, the public sector is a natural (even if fragile) contributor.
Cultural relations or cultural diplomacy?
There are many different ways of working with arts and culture in terms of international relations. Many good examples of value-based projects exist. These projects are aiming to change misleading perceptions or deepen comprehension for other cultures (rather than representative projects aiming to promote ones country and its cultural scene). An example is Culture in Conflict, a project lead by the British Council, exploring and mapping how arts can be of help in pre-, mid- and post-conflict situations.
Such projects can be run by NGOs on a people-to-people basis. Thus, the arts and culture in international relations can be more democratic and accessible — if not to all, at least to a greater number.
I would like to see a transatlantic culture and creative industry coalition, an exchange between individual experts, advocacy organizations, universities and NGOs. The exchange should both be structural and artistic and be initiated for a longer period of time.

Regarding your request, I am tasked with formulating a performance management plan for Bradley Stonefield. As I understand, Mr. Stonefield is creating a Limousine company in Austin, Texas. His goal is to have 25 employees within the first year of operation. The performance management plane is being developed to ensure the success of this business.
An effective performance management system can play a very critical part in dealing with performance in an organization (Performance Evaluation, 2013). For Mr. Stonefield's new business, this plan is necessary to guarantee that his organization's goals are going to be achieved.
This systematic process should include work planning and establishing expectations, frequently monitoring of performance, sporadically rating performance, and rewarding excellent performance (US Office of Personnel Management, 2013).
When discussing planning you're implicating the structure of performance expectations and objectives for groups and individuals to merge their efforts toward achieving organizational objectives. Setting goals leads to success in improving performance. Goals direct the employees' attention to the specific performance in question.
It also mobilizes efforts to achieve advanced stages of performance, and nurtures perseverance for advanced stages of performance (Cascio, 2013). When employees are involved in the planning process the understanding of company goals are clearer. The understanding of what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how well it should be done is unblemished. Mr. Stonefield will need to clarify precisely what is expected and lead to high levels of performance. Mr. Stonefield has to set organization's goals by stating that he is looking to provide a first class limousine service and by identifying the annual net revenue, revenue growth, and the turnover rate. These goals must me clearly discussed with the employees. The discussion must show the goals and each employee's responsibilities and duties within the organization. This process is important so that employees or teams know what is expected of them, in order to remain focused on effective performance.
Monitoring is the process of regularly assessing performance and communicating constant responses to employees on their advancement of attainment objectives (US Office of Personnel Management, 2013). Performance managing is challenging method to execute well throughout an organization due to the demands daily that it requires to be effective. Monitoring gives the supervisor the opportunity to observe how well employees are achieving fixed standards and to make variations to impractical or problematical ideals. Superiors also can pinpoint improper performance throughout the appraisal period during the monitoring process. If performance is found unacceptable supervisor will then offer support to provide a solution to such performance rather than delay awaiting the completion of the period. Mr. Stonefield should monitor each employee's through their daily trip records and the customers' feedback. Checking the daily records provides information about time and directions for each trip. It shows wither a driver was on time for his trip or not. Feedback also helps in monitoring performance. Mr. Stonefield can ask the customers about the service they have received and build his assessment based on this feedback.
Developing is growing the capacity to execute precise training, offered assignments that present new talents or higher stages of accountability and refining work procedures (US Office of Personnel Management, 2013). Providing employees high-end training and growing opportunities inspires virtuous performance, toughens workplace skills and proficiencies, and aids personnel to maintain plasticity with deviations in the workplace. By implementing the performance management tool during this process offers a tremendous opportunity for supervisors and employees to recognize developmental necessities. Through daily observation, Mr. Stonefield can assess what needs to be improved. He can create training programs to the employees who need training, motivate employees as they are performing their daily job, and encourage employees to work efficiently by praising their achievements.
Rating is assessing employees or groups' performance contrary to the rudiments and principles in an employee's performance plan and conveying a summary rating of record process (US Office of Personnel Management, 2013). Rating of records is dispersed according to processes contained within the organization's evaluation process. This is centered on work accomplished throughout a full appraisal period. The rating of record has an influence on numerous personnel performance, such as granting pay increases and outlining added retention service credit in a decrease in force. Mr. Stonefield needs to identify an employees' rating system within the organization's appraisal program and explains this system for each employee. This helps summarizing employee performance and also helps with linking performance through-out time or across a set of employees. Through this, Mr. Stonefield can know who the best performers are.
Rewarding is recognizing employees, individually and as members of groups, for their performance and acknowledging their contributions to the organization's mission. It is an effective way to praise good performance, increase productivity, and provide greater job satisfaction. Reward programs should support employees' behavior, attendance, and efficiency in helping to achieve company goals. Employees work the hardest to achieve a company's objectives when their emotionally satisfied. A staff member is likely to repeat his exemplary behavior if he is commended for his efforts (Motivo Inspiring Performance, 2013). Using information from the rating system, Mr. Stonefield can assess which performance should be rewarded and what the type of reward can be applied. Rewarding does not always involve money or raise, sometimes a "thank you" works.
Performance management is an essential task for an organization's success especially for a new and growing business like Mr. Stonefield's limousine company. This procedure requires a lot of work and will cost Mr. Stonefield both money and time, but at will provide a great benefit for the business. Performance improvements are essential to gain more profits and support the business.

Forget great food, forget nature therapy. Admit it or not, sometimes, we're just after the good ole' Instagrammable quality of places. But hold up, it's not 2015 anymore and a simple brick wall won't do the trick any longer. Instagram friendly places is all about novelty! Everyone's tired of the latte shots, people are over mason jars, and no one really cares for the flat lay of your lunch that are most definitely cold by the time you eat it. Instagram 2k18 is all about novelty AND creativity.
Tagaytay is an easy weekend destination simply because of the views and the food, and because I lived here long enough, I know the best places and I know what's good for the gram. Not your usual Balay Dako and Starbucks filled Tagaytay "best kept secret" wannabe listicle, because I'm including places that are so damn common and may even seem too plain that you wouldn't even think of photographing it. But with a creative mind and soul, your next post just might get all the likes rolling in. For added bonus, I'm adding tips on how to nail the shot!
This list will continue to grow as I continue to find the best spots. Last updated: March 2019.
1.) Escala Tagaytay
Is it Bali? Is it Greece? Is it SoCal? Nope, it's Escala. Infinity pool overlooking Taal Lake? Better yet, infinity pool overlooking a VOLCANO?! We've got a winner. Escala Hotel is a new-ish hotel that not only boasts of their world class customer service and amazing food, but their pool, which is originally built to serve as a "decoration" is one of its signature highlights. Definitely for the gram, you wouldn't wanna miss a shot here even if it's freezing cold in January. (READ: I Found The Most Beautiful and Most Photogenic Place in Tagaytay: Escala)
Instagram Tip:Go ahead, don't be shy, let the basic bitch out and bring your floatie. A little Unicorn love ain't neva hurt nobody.
2.) The Gingerbread House
Ever wished it was Christmas all year long? SAY NO MORE. At The Gingerbread House, you can add a little Christmas vibe on your feed even in the middle of July. The Gingerbread House shaped restaurant itself is one thing, but plenty other corners are so worth the shot. A giant teddy bear, a cute little dollhouse… it's such a cute restaurant so make sure you make room for 28384848 photos!

Is there a place in the world where the Christmas festivities continues on until at least the first week of January? It's kinda hard to accept the fact that it's over. I found this little cafe/restaurant nearby that is pretty much Christmas themed all year long. I mean come on, it is shaped like a Gingerbread house and it pretty much screams Christmas on crack. Meanwhile in the real world, Christmas season ends right before you know it and next thing you know, you're back to anticipating. 😏Here are The Five Stages of Christmas to help you understand the overwhelming feeling and emotions you must have been experiencing. As told by a Christmas fanatic, ME. 🎅🏼 1⃣ Excitement— pure anticipation for the festivities. Mariah Carey and Michael Bublè on repeat, decorating the tree is a major event, and all the right feels take over you. 🎄 2⃣ Procrastination— that time between Black Friday until the morning of the 24th. 3⃣ Survival— holiday madness begins. Families from out of town fly in, all the chores and every holiday must do's that hasn't been sorted out during Procrastination phase is all coming down at once. Unlimited wine necessary. 🍷 4⃣ Relief— A general feeling of relief that the holiday is over and that you made it through the entire event alive. 🎁 5⃣ Denial— Post-Christmas feels. How is it gone too soon? A semi-morose emotion takes over as you realize that you'll have to wait another 364 days for the next time. This is where I'm at. 😏 . . . . #travelstoke #dametraveler #darlingescapes #tropicals #tropicaladdicted #blondesandcookies #lonelyplanet #beautifulmatters #girlunspotted #aroundtheworldpix #tropicalchristmas #liveoutdoors #liveauthentic #livefolk #nakedplanet #justgotbackfrom #wheninmanila #girlsborntotravel #christmasinspiration #eurotrip #londondaily #getoutstayout #holidaygoals #tropicalwayoflife #thetravelwomen #ladiesgoneglobal #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #passionpassport #globelletravels
Instagram Tip:Don't just focus on the actual Gingerbread House. Go around this huge property to find other IG-able spots for funsies. My favorite is the giant teddy bear!
3.) One of the many pineapple fields
I mean, there's quite a few already literally steps away from where I live, but you'll find some open fields mostly away from the main highway. Go around Mendez and you'll be able to find some good ones. Be careful though as trespassing is risky business. But when you find one, seriously, it's so cool and kinda amazing to see how the most famous fruit of Instagram grows (I'm guessing other contenders are avocados?).

Tis' the season of being flooded with inspirational-dare-to-dream-more-travel-more-say-yes-new-year-new-me posts flooding your social media. 🙋🏽♀ … Before I go on, keep in mind that I do wanna say things like that so I can inspire you to jump on the wagon as we dream to live freely and to embrace more adventures in 2018. But, the thing is, that's already who I am. I've been seizing the day in my young-wild-free and Peter Pan Syndrome disposition for as long as I know, and saying faux resolutions like that is like saying I wanna dye my hair darker. In Joey Tribbiani's words, it's a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion. It's moo. 🐮 … So for 2018, I'm aiming for something different. I want to be kinder— to everyone, to the community, and to our environment. I wanna be nicer, have more patience, and to choose compassion as much as I choose adventure over everything else. I wanna use as little plastic as I can, to give more without expecting anything in return, and most importantly, I wanna minimize my daily eye roll limit. 🙄 … Tis' the season of aiming for better us! May we continue to dream bigger and if we must compete, compete only with ourselves. Wishing you a wondrous end for 2017 and a kickass beginning for the new year. Cheers to making 2018 our little bitch! 🍾 … Already feeling stronger in my @stronger apparel. . . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #philippines #the_ph #ladiesgoneglobal #philippinestopphoto #travelstoke #livefolk #liveauthentic #liveoutdoor #girlunspotted #darlingescapes #globelletravels #itsmorefuninthephilippines #dametraveler #tropicals #tropicalbabes #citizenfemme #tropicalwayoflife #tropicaladdicted #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlunspotted #tropicallife #blondesandcookies #livelocal #newyearnewme #islandlife #peoplescreatives #iamtb #tagaytay
Instagram Tip:Cute summery outfits rock! Give yourself a bit of an aloha vibe with bright colors. But if not, no worries, it'll still look great. And NO, I will not reveal where I live.
4.) Mahogany Market
Filipino markets are usually not the prettiest. But with a little bit of creativity, you can capture them beautifully in its most authentic form. Apparently, fruit stalls are very grammable now thanks to GypseaLust and the gang, and Mahogany Market definitely has a charm of its own. But I mean who goes to the market just to take pictures? Sheeeeesh buy some fruits and load up on vitamin C! Tagaytay is known for the freshest pineapples!

I was about to post a picture of my full blown pregnant body in honor of International Women's Day, but I changed my mind. While creating and growing a human being definitely empowered me, I don't think it would have made me less of a woman if I chose a different route and decided motherhood was not for me. Whilst the entire journey definitely made me feel the strongest I've ever felt, womanhood is not confined to that.🤰🏽. .. I feel empowered when I can go outside without any makeup on and still feel good inside and out. I feel empowered when I'm surrounded by other beautiful, smart, creative women, and I don't feel intimidation or jealousy or envy, but rather, I feel inspired. I feel empowered when I stand up for myself and for what I believe in, or for simply just knowing how to say NO. 💪🏽. .. Celebrating womanhood has no restrictions. So whether you're a mom of none, two, or a dozen, whether you're young or old, regardless of your race and color, regardless of your job or your income, fertile, infertile, menopausal, single, married, or wherever you may be in life, YOU ARE AMAZING, YOU ARE ENOUGH, and YOU are worth celebrating! 🥂 📸: @illumelation

Can I just share with you the most beautiful story I've heard about pineapples? My friend Winnie, (who is a genius photographer btw) @winniebrucephoto has a tattoo of a small pineapple on her wrist. It's absolutely lovely, in a non-basic bitch way, and the meaning behind it always stuck with me. She grew up in the Philippines, not too far from where I live actually. She explains that it takes quite a walk to get to the main road to catch a ride (a bus, or a jeepney like this one), unless she takes a "short cut", and cross through a pineapple field. But if you've ever seen a pineapple field, you know that this could be a painful task— it's very thorny in there, so you're risking getting hurt with scratches all over your legs, unless, of course, you go slow, and take your time crossing the field. Which, in the end, takes just as long, or maybe even longer, than just taking the longer route. And so her mother would tell her in a so beautifully put reminder— that there simply is no shortcut in life. 🍍 . . I think we all need to be reminded that, don't you? Our generation has been led to become so accustomed to instant results. Instant food, instant cash, instant gratification… patience has become a long gone virtue. Time may be gold, but when you learn to just wait and be patient, the results can be really, really sweet. Like pressure cooker, for instance. Yeah, it will soften the meat… but it just won't be as flavorful as it would have been slow cooked 🍜 . 📷: @illumelation . . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #philippines #visitph #ladiesgoneglobal #passionpassport #travelstoke #livefolk #liveauthentic #liveoutdoor #thatsdarling #darlingescapes #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #travelgram #worldtravel #roamtheplanet #sheisnotlost #lifestyle #tropicaladdicted #adventure #livelocal #justgoshoot #tropicals #peoplescreatives #earthpix #instapassport
Instagram Tip:Find the stalls with the most colorful fruits to make a standout shot. The more colorful and more exotic, the better! Hanging fruits are very IG approved too.
5.) People's Park In The Sky
Whether you're a fan of abandoned buildings or not, Palace in the Sky or People's Park In The Sky is quite an iconic stop especially if you're a first timer here. But to be quite honest, this little dilapidated building actually has the best view of Taal Lake. So you've got some eerie vibes in one corner from the unfinished construction of the building, and then you've got a sick view of Taal on the other. Sounds like a double win.

Remember when we had to download songs from YouTube, use an MP3 converter, and then manually transfer it to your mobile? Or a little further back in time when you have to download songs via Limewire in your dial up internet and then burn it in a blank cd that cost $20 per pack? Or waaaay back when you wait all day for the radio to play your song so you can record it on a cassette tape only for the DJ to start screaming at the end of the song? The struggle amirite! Which one were you guilty of?! All three for me— college, high school, and childhood in a nutshell pretty much. . This is exactly why despite my preaches about sticking to the bare necessities in life, I would say @spotifyasia Spotify Premium has definitely become one of those. It just simply makes life AND traveling easier. I can no longer imagine being stuck on a plane with no music— that sounds worse than a crying baby on plane. I'll be able to test the theory in a couple of months 🤪🤣. If you haven't joined the wagon yet, you can use this link (also in my stories for direct access) to get 1 month free trial! Bare necessity, I tell ya! >>> http://svsl.co/asia?share_code=8yzE #spotifyasia #viralacess . . 📷: @winniebrucephoto — I got a lot of compliments when I posted a sneak peek of my maternity shoot! All thanks to this creative genius! Anyone east coast US based looking for dreamy shots, she's your girl! 💜
Instagram Tip:They've got snakes and parrots, sometimes a baby crocodile, available for a little photo sesh all for a dollar each. I'm not the biggest supporter of animal tourism for the sake of the gram so do this at your own will. In my defense, I am really enthralled by pythons and I like petting them and holding them whenever I get the chance, so a shot or two while doing it made me feel a little less guilty.
6.) The flower market
Just along the road at Tagaytay Public Market (different from Mahogany Market) lies a strip of flower stalls that seeks extremely cheap flowers of different kinds. Like, really cheap– $5 for a BIG BAG for rose petals? $5 for a dozen of fresh roses? Or a couple of sunflowers? Or lilies? I'm crazy about it and this place is actually one of my favorites in Tagaytay. And let's be real, flowers are always photogenic. A little pose here and there and voila– money shot!
Instagram Tip:How about actually buy some and support the local vendors? But really, you can use those flowers for many other photo opportunities, like, say a flower bath if you have a tub?
7.) Dencio's
FFS, Dencio's really? Yes, really. Not only do they have a pretty good view of Taal, but they've got a cute swing that separates them from the 30 other restaurants next to it. Plus, Dencio's always have GOOOOOD sisig.
Instagram Tip:Two words– GOLDEN HOUR.
UPDATE: There is no more Dencio's and my heart is broken. It was replaced with another restaurant. Not sure if the swing is still there.
8.) Red Bus
Red Bus actually has decent burgers I can get down with (just the burgers though, everything else on the menu aren't worth even talking about), but they also have a pretty cool vintage Volkswagen van that adds a twist to the usual food truck vibes. The aesthetics can definitely be worked on, but the backdrop will do. (READ: Where To Eat: A Non-Basic Foodie Guide To Tagaytay's Best Lesser Known Restaurants)

We didn't celebrate 4th of July this year, so here's one from last year 🇺🇸. Because we're not in US territory, we usually just celebrate by going to an American diner and ordering the most obnoxious burger and beer on tap. I'm not American, but my husband is, and after living there for so long, the culture kinda sticks with you. Plus, it's a really good excuse to indulge in a mean, fat, juicy burger. 🍔 . I remember the first time I was introduced to 4th of July celebration when I first moved to the US. As a child, I thought it was really stupid. I felt sorry for everyone getting so excited to play with weak ass fireworks for one day of the year, when where I came from, we played with it in school (back in the day, at least… remember WATUSI??). But of course as years went by, it's a tradition that you learn to love, just like Thanksgiving, or Lunar New Year, or St. Patrick's Day. Unless of course our generation continues to be soft af and start considering outsiders joining in celebrations a form of *cultural appropriation* too 🤪🙄😏 . . So, Happy 4th of July to Americans, non-Americans, and everyone contributing to making 'murrca great again! 🤪🇺🇸💥 . . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #murrca #fourthofjuly #ladiesgoneglobal #4thofjuly #travelstoke #livefolk #independenceday #liveoutdoor #girlunspotted #darlingescapes #globelletravels #itsmorefuninthephilippines #dametraveler #tropicals #tropicalbabes #citizenfemme #tropicalwayoflife #tropicaladdicted #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlunspotted #tropicallife #blondesandcookies #livelocal #philippinesbeaches #islandlife #peoplescreatives #iamtb #beachtravel
Instagram Tip:Red Bus is located next to Dreamland Cafe, which can be utilized for fun shots too, but it can get pretty crowded in there. I didn't include it in the list because it lacks authenticity in a way that it pretty much looks like a mainstream version of a hippie cafe on crack.
9.) Tabby Town Cat Cafe
Lets start off with the fact that this cafe is painted in millennial pink so how much more instagrammable could it get? But whether you're a crazy cat person or not, there are 20 majestic felines residing here that are beautiful AF and might even outshine you on instagram. That is of course if you can persuade them to pose for the camera. But if you're a gifted cat whisperer or just pretty much gifted at Instagram, do your thang.

They say you're either a cat or a dog. Many have agreed that my personality is definitely all cat 😽 What are you? Tell me right MEOW! 😺 ▪ When I found out there's finally a cat cafe in town, it's imperative that I go asap. Thanks for having me @tabbytowncatcafe 📍Tagaytay, Philippines . 😻 ▪ Disclaimer: I am forever and will always be a DOG person!
Instagram Tip:Hate cats? They are opening a Corgi Cafe right on the same building! That's two animal cafes in one!
10.) The coconut stalls along the road
Ok maybe I was wrong. Maybe pineapple isn't the most famous fruit on Instagram. It might just be coconut. Everyone wants a photo with it because unlike pineapples, coconuts are actually a lot more tropical and exotic in a way that you can't find one sitting at an Albertson's on a Wednesday. Now coconut shots work best at the beach, but a shot with LOTS of coconuts at a random fruit stall on the side of the road? Even more exotic. Work that magic.

All hail the buko queen 👸🏻 Buko (coconut) has got to be one of the best things about the tropics. Did you know that coconuts have a lot of benefits? Here's a few that you might not know; 🌴 🌴 Say goodbye to kidney stones! Coconut water has magical elements that helps prevent and get rid of kidney stones. Tested and proven when Derick was diagnosed with a small one earlier this year. Look for the ones with the "pink butt" and drink them religiously! 💦 🌴 Coconut oil is the holy grail you've been looking for. I use them as my makeup/dirt remover. It has many, many more uses, but that, I can vouch for. They also have properties that lightens scars and they can also prevent stretch marks! 🌴 There is simply nothing like curry cooked with fresh coconut milk. But there are also many other scrumptious dishes that you can make with it. Make sure you ask for Bicol Express when in the Philippines. 🍛 🌴 They make an awesome Instagram accessory. But you already know that, don't you? 📍Tagaytay, Philippines
Instagram Tip:The colors of coconuts can be a bit dull, so do the opposite of what I did here and where something bright to stand out. In my defense, this was a genuine random shot. I can do that cause hey, I live here.
11.) Raffi's Way
It's places like Raffi's Way that reminds you why it's great to have a lot of friends simply because you definitely can not afford to rent this on your own. You wouldn't want to anyway because this house is huge and it's meant to be shared with a big group. Raffi's Way makes the perfect house party, but it makes an even better IG location. Almost every corner is so IG-able in a minimalist mansion kind of way. Plus you've got a great background of the mountains surrounding Taal Lake, what's not to love.

Can't believe it's September already! Did you know that Christmas season starts this early in the Philippines? Yup. Christmas decorations are already being sold everywhere and Mariah Carey is already being blasted on the radio. It's definitely outrageous but I'm a sucker for Christmas so I can't help but feel a liddo bit excited even while I cringe. 🎄📍Tagaytay, Philippines @raffisway_tagaytay 📸 by: @mishrendon
Instagram Tip:Treat yourself to a fancy bath (shoot). Stop by the flower market and buy some rose petals (250 for a big bag) and sprinkle all of that obnoxiously in the tub for your wannabe Balinese flower bath.
12.) Ayala Serin Mall
It's your basic outdoor Ayala mall, but there's a cute little corner here that I love. Lucinda, a vintage home decor store and a flower shop next to it are painted in the cutest IG-able colors that you wouldn't be able to refuse a snap or two. You'll get people wondering where the hell in Tagaytay is that?!

Afternoon strolls in my hood, ice cream in hand, zero f's given. If British live for their afternoon tea, Filipinos have this beautiful culture of "merienda" (afternoon snacks). I remember as a kid, waking up from my siesta means junk food and soda in a plastic bag outside the house. But of course it's not limited to that. It can go from pancit noodles in pandesal with coffee, fried banana cues, or as simple as ice cream. As long as it's food, it's another way to bond with family and friends.🍦 … Don't forget to use my code GIRLUNSPOTTED upon checkout to get 15% off your @danielwellington order! #danielwellington
Instagram Tip:When taking a wall shot, don't stand too close to the wall. Angle your shot by standing a little further away to get a better framing and composition.
13.) Balite Falls (Amadeo)
It may not exactly be Tagaytay, but it's close enough. Just 30-40 minutes away from Tagaytay (even faster if you're driving), this local gem is quite a nice refreshing detour. It's a small waterfall but if you scout good enough, you can definitely make use of the surrounding. Like the natural outdoor shower or pool. Work your magic. (READ: Just A Waterfall Away)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Americans out there! It's been a couple of years since the last time I actually celebrated it the traditional way with home cooked turkey, pumpkin pies and all that jazz. Last year, I had a "thanksgiving sandwich" at an all-American restaurant in London called The Breakfast Club (why of course) and the year before that, I was chasing whale sharks, turtles, and corals in an island. Today was pretty mild though, it's been raining and the winds are howling, so naturally, my original plan to cook up a nice meal was sabotaged the instant I put on a sweater and snuggly socks. Meh, there's always Christmas! 🤷🏽♀ … The caption completely has nothing to do with the photo, but this was a good reminder that I'm due for a waterfall hike! I'm hoping that the weather clears up this weekend so I can go on a mini adventure come Monday! 👙: @kaikinibikinis . 🌺 . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #philippines #the_ph #ladiesgoneglobal #philippinestopphoto #travelstoke #livefolk #liveauthentic #liveoutdoor #girlunspotted #darlingescapes #globelletravels #itsmorefuninthephilippines #dametraveler #tropicals #tropicalbabes #citizenfemme #tropicalwayoflife #tropicaladdicted #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlunspotted #tropicallife #blondesandcookies #livelocal #naturetherapy #islandlife #chasingwaterfalls #iamtb #waterfallhike
Instagram Tip:This is now a privately owned resort so it has lost its raw authentic vibes especially it gets pretty crowded on the weekends (yuck). But still, it's a great place to chill (aka shoot) especially if it's during the weekday when there's no one around.
14.) The botanical stalls by the rotunda
I'll keep this sweet and short. Just like the flower market stalls, the plants they sell here makes amazing Instagram props too!

It's poinsettia season! These beautiful displays has been calling out to me so yesterday, after brunch, we walked around the rows of garden shops and nurseries nearby and I was once again reminded how cool plants are. I was back and forth with the idea of getting some baby cacti to start a collection, or hydrangeas to put in our garden since ours kept dying, or some herbs for our kitchen needs, or maybe poinsettias to get a festive feel. But of course I had to be reminded that I know nothing about plants and that I'd probably neglect them by day 2. Needless to say, we came home empty handed which was alright because it's always gringo prices whenever my husband is around anyway. 😏 … Nevertheless, I think I spent part of the afternoon reiterating to my husband that "I really think I could take care of them", sort of begging in a way. But by the time we reached the stores at the mall selling Christmas ornaments, I was over it. "I really think we need a new theme this year", says the crazy Christmas lady. You'd think I'd be over the idea of getting more ornaments by the time we got home but I wasn't. Because well, let's just say today was a productive day and I've been blasting Michael Bublé and Andy Williams all afternoon. 🎄😁
Instagram Tip:It's most especially super Instagrammable during Pointsettia season in December.
15.) Taal Volcano (duh)
It's like the heart of Tagaytay. And although it's not even located in Tagaytay, you might as well plan to hike it. The hike is short at 30-40 minutes, and you'll be rewarded with a pretty awesome view of the crater. If you hike early enough, the heat shouldn't be that bad.

Surround yourself with those who work hard to achieve their dreams, not the ones who's stuck at chasing. Those that seek to create and aim to inspire, not the ones who seeks validation from the world. Be around those that encourage growth and happiness, not the ones who secretly revels in your setbacks and failures. Most importantly, surround yourself with those that radiate genuine confidence and motivation, not the ones who bullshit their positivity. That fake positive energy, it's just as draining as negativity. In a world of make believe, be wise who you allow to influence you. 📸 by: @illumelation
Instagram Tip:Don't forget to head over to the lava rocks for a different perspective. The pinkish lava rocks are actually quite pretty to photograph.
16.) Kookay's Food House
Whether you're 30, or 7, you'll find Kookay's such a fun little place reminiscent of your childhood. With pink overload and unicorn madness, it's hard not to wanna bust out the camera and take about a hundred photos. The menu is also filled with very IG-able dishes, from rainbow waffles and rainbow spaghettis, to super Unicorn oriented milkshakes. Is it gimmicky, yes, but we all love a good Unicorn hype! It's like unicorns vomited rainbow dusts and magic!
Instagram Tip: They rent out cute onesies which perfectly matches the vibes here! Or you can just come in in your favorite Unicorn friendly attire!

Just a 30-year-old wearing her 7-year-old cousin's bow, surrounded by unicorns 🦄 This fun little unicorn cafe is every little girl's (at heart) dream. They served dishes that looks like unicorns vomited rainbow dust and magic on them. 🌈 When was the last time you allowed yourself to feel like a kid again? I'd say it was during this, but I may have thrown a tantrum earlier 🤷🏽♀🤦🏽♀ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #philippines #the_ph #ladiesgoneglobal #philippinestopphoto #travelstoke #livefolk #liveauthentic #liveoutdoor #girlunspotted #darlingescapes #globelletravels #itsmorefuninthephilippines #dametraveler #tropicals #tropicalbabes #citizenfemme #tropicalwayoflife #tropicaladdicted #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlunspotted #tropicallife #blondesandcookies #livelocal #philippinesbeaches #islandlife #wheninmanila #unicorncafe #tagaytaycity
17.) Rustic Little Chapel
I honestly don't even know the name of the chapel, but on your way back to Santa Rosa after passing by the public market, keep an eye out for a small, very humble chapel on the left side of the road. It's nothing special, really, but I love how rustic it is, topped with a little graphic design of a friar. Pretty cool, really. I love grandiose churches, temples, or mosques, but there's always something refreshing about a place of worship that has zero pretenses. Plus, it really makes a cool Instagram shot!
View this post on Instagram
I've always been a fan of abandoned and dilapidated buildings. This chapel is neither of that though, and it seems to be fully operational still. I often pass by it and have always adored its down to earth, rustic vibes. Plus, check out that graphic design of that friar at the top, I think it's really cool. I've seen plenty of grandiose churches and temples and mosques, but there's something refreshing about a place of worship that absolutely has zero pretenses. Maybe I'm just easily amused, but the world is a much better place if you try to find beauty even in the most mediocre places. . . . . . . . . #wearetravelgirls #philippines #the_ph #ladiesgoneglobal #philippinestopphoto #travelstoke #livefolk #liveauthentic #liveoutdoor #girlunspotted #darlingescapes #globelletravels #itsmorefuninthephilippines #dametraveler #tropicals #tropicalbabes #citizenfemme #tropicalwayoflife #tropicaladdicted #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlunspotted #tropicallife #blondesandcookies #livelocal #philippinesbeaches #islandlife #peoplescreatives #iamtb #rusticvibes
Instagram Tip: It's a fully operational chapel, so if you want to photograph this empty and clear, it's better to avoid Sundays. This was taken on a Tuesday morning, around 6:30. But I think it'll look even more charming with local church goers.
18.) Mr. Kimchi Tagaytay
What's better than a restaurant with good food? Make it instagrammable too and it makes it on the list! Mr. Kimchi is my favorite unlimited samgyeupsal restaurant in this little city, but what also makes it the best is their amazing location, giving a spectacular panorama of Taal Lake. I haven't had a full on photoshoot sesh here, but next time I indulge on some bomb kbbq, I might just set up a little Instagram shoot here! (READ: Mr. Kimchi, The Best Korean BBQ in Tagaytay Offers Unlimited Samgyeupsal)
19.) Memory Lane
It's a cute little restaurant built like a vintage doll house and it's filled with the cutest memorabilia and trinkets. It's literally like stepping back in time. Each corner is filled with cute Instagram potential, from the house itself which is painted in blue, to the dining area that gives out a really sweet, charming, nostalgic vibe. The food sucks, but it's a cute place. Just get a soda and take some pictures and call it a day.
20.) This cute little pineapple field with a red shed
I've been wanting to photograph this spot for over a year now, and I don't know why I waited until now to do it. I finally did, put on some highly contrasting outfit, waited until golden hour, and decided to walk along the field. The great news is that this field has a pathway so you don't have to struggle with the prickly thorns. But of course, I bring my baby boy for some cute mom and baby shots, and he just wasn't having it. I was able to take a few shots, but I barely even made it to the shed!

When you love travel so much, the instant you find out you're gonna have a child, it's hard not to envision your hopes and dreams for them. The new adventures together, to revisit your favorite places and see it through their eyes, to teach them and to let them learn on their own about the world, to build their hearts… you'll daydream about it a lot. And when that sweet moment arrives and you're ready to show him the world… AND HE WON'T LET YOU PUT HIM IN THE DAMN CARSEAT… and you hear these sitcom laughter in your head… and you think to yourself, are you effin kidding me… and all you can do is laugh at the irony of life… just know that you're not alone.

Joe Foxton: "The scene in New York is booming right now"
For two decades Joe Foxton has made his mark on the New York scene as one of the representative faces of the underground. Also, he is co-founder of the infamous Fiction NYC boat parties, Fiction Lab blog, Frisson, and Antidote series, as well as playing alongside some of the industries finest including Job Jobse, Ripperton and Sammy Dee. His dynamic sets consistently deliver an innovative and nuanced musical experience infused with melody and hypnotic beats.
We had the chance to chat with Joe Foxton to talk about Fiction NYC and his next month's plans.
Electronic Groove: Hi Joe, thanks for your time. You're originally from Australia but currently living in New York. Does your hometown have any influence on your music and what you do?
Joe Foxton: Hello EG! Yes, for sure. In the 90's the club scene there was really nice – small, but nice. I used to hang out at a place called Club 77 which had a great techno night and is what inspired me to buy a set of Technics 1200 all those years back. That venue is still open – I went back there this year while visiting family in Sydney, and it's as great as ever. We have been lucky to catch Honey Dijon who was playing the night we went!
There's some great music coming out of Australia right now. We've been following the scene on our blog Fiction Lab. We've asked some Australian Djs to do mixes for Fiction Lab Australia, and they are really good. You can check out some of the mixes here: http://www.fictionlabmusic.com/featured-australia.
EG: You're a founder of Fiction NYC. What can you tell us about the collective's initial intentions and the evolution of it up to date?
Joe Foxton: Our initial intention was to host intimate events for music heads, and that's still our intention for every event we do. We love intimate parties. Great artists do really special things in intimate spaces when they know the sound is great and the crowd has an open mind. Our team also love to bring artists that we think are under-hyped in the U.S. It's a great feeling to be able to introduce these artists to New York and in turn to present amazing talent to New Yorkers that chances are they aren't as familiar with.
EG: What is Fiction currently working on?
Joe Foxton: Currently we're focusing all our efforts on our annual boat party season which is getting very close. We have three Fiction Sunset Cruises lined up with Baikal, Davis, The Drifter, Love Over Entropy and a special guest to be announced soon. We also just started a new event series called 'Antidote' which is our super comfy intimate series at The Paper Box in Brooklyn. We just had Patlac and Cleveland join us for the first one this last month and it was a great time. Next up on May 4th we have Sandrino & Aera which we're all really looking forward to.
EG: Are you currently producing or focusing more on playing and touring?
Joe Foxton: I'm working on my first release at the moment as well as playing around NYC most weekends. I'll also be heading over to London and Berlin in June.
EG: Do you have any new productions coming up?
Joe Foxton: Yes! Hopefully I will have something nice to share with you soon…
EG: What can you tell us about the current scene in New York? Is there any special event for the coming season that we should go and check?
Joe Foxton: The scene in New York is booming right now. There are so many more people listening to same kind of music we listen to which is very exciting. It feels like a Renaissance of sorts. It actually reminds me of the days of Twilo, Vinyl and Tunnel. There are just so many amazing options and events to choose from every weekend. We're totally spoiled here in NYC.
I'm going to do some shameless self-promo here as everyone should definitely check out the Fiction events we have planned over the coming months: Antidote w/ Sandrino & Aera on May 4, and then the Fiction Sunset Cruise on June 2 w/ Baikal and Davis who are two of my favorite DJs. Also Listed's Play at the Mirage is going to be a pretty epic party.
"Our initial intention was to host intimate events for music heads, and that's still our intention for every event we do"
EG: Other than Fiction, do you have any other projects coming up?
Joe Foxton: I run a residency at TBA Brooklyn called Frisson where we showcase women and LGBTQ DJs. While Fiction is focused on melodic sounds, Frisson is a bit more techno. It's really nice having this other outlet where I get to play with some of my favorite local artists, especially my talented partner Remove Hyphen.
EG: Can you share with us some of your favorite tracks?
Joe Foxton: Right now I'm a tad obsessed with Traumprinz's new albums under the monikers DJ Healer and Prime Minister of Doom – it's next level stuff. I'll be playing his stuff a lot.
EG: What spots would you recommend for those who are visiting the city for the first time?
Joe Foxton: So many! Good Room is a new favorite of mine since they installed D&B sound; their bookings are also top notch. TBA Brooklyn is a great casual place to come and hear some great locals. I also love Output, Elsewhere, Nowadays and of course the crazy unique House of Yes. If you're looking for the full festival scale experience, The Brooklyn Mirage is pretty damn epic.

The Obsessive Pinner's Diary: Mini Deep Dish Pizzas
So you know those weeks when everything just sucks? When all your professors seem to get together and plan a week of hell? When you deal with your stress by pretending you don't actually have a mountain of homework and projects so you get on Pinterest and Facebook? Yeah, I had one of those weeks.
Pinterest is truly the devil when I have lots of work to do. My fingers just instinctively type Pinterest into the address bar when I really mean to be looking for resources for my gargantuan research paper. Anyways, somewhere around 2 a.m. in the middle of everything, I somehow found myself on the Pinterest homepage. The e-cards had me giggling, I found yet another dream wedding dress (or ten), 60 DIY projects I have no money to complete, and at least 37 recipes I won't ever get around to trying. But, one pin caught my eye because it happened to be the best-looking study break snack ever. I wanted it bad. It wasn't linked to a blog and didn't have any real instructions, but the picture inspired me and gave my tummy the rumblies that only this pizza could satisfy. The caption said something about "quick and easy mini deep dish pizzas" and I was in love. After serious consideration, I decided I wasn't wise to run to Walmart at 3 a.m. But, after work the next day, I satisfied my craving.
You need:
1 can of Pillsbury pizza dough (next to biscuits and stuff)
1 bag of 4 cheese pizza blend shredded cheese (how convenient!)
1 jar of pizza sauce (next to the spaghetti sauce)
1 bag of pepperoni minis (how stinking cute)
1 muffin pan
Any other desired pizza toppings
Optional butter and garlic salt
This is how I did it:
I preheated the oven a little higher than what was on the roll of dough. I buttered and sprinkled the pan with garlic salt for a bit of added flavor, but cooking spray would work, too. I assembled the pizzas in a logical order, using all of the dough, but having plenty of the other ingredients to make this recipe several times. Then I baked until awesome (about 20 minutes I think).
I think these are pretty darn yummy, very easy, not too expensive and still yummy the next day. I would make these again for a study session (alone or with friends), for dinner, for a boy, or whenever.

Although New Trier field was at its best Oct. 27 in the field hockey state final against Lake Forest, it was a scare in the semifinals that gave the Trevians the upper hand.
In the semifinals on Oct. 25, New Trier and Glenbard West could not find a way to score for almost the entire game. Trevians junior attacker Kate McLaughlin finally converted a penalty stroke with just more than four minutes left for a 1-0 victory.
"The Glenbard West game put us in check for the finals," Trevians coach Stephanie Nykaza said. "It was a shot in the arm that we can't mess around."
New Trier took control of the championship game after surviving an early flurry by Lake Forest and prevailed 3-0 at Oak Park-River Forest. Junior midfielder Grace Harris and junior attacker Paige Baldwin each scored in the first 30 minutes, and Harris' shot from the circle off an assist by McLaughlin put the game out of reach in the second half.
New Trier (22-2) had beaten Lake Forest (21-5-1) twice during the regular season, but both of those games required overtime.
"We just let it all out," Nykaza said. "I can actually say this game was one of our best performances of the season, for an entire 60 minutes."
McLaughlin partly credited the victory to the large contingent of boisterous Trevian fans.
"You don't normally get a lot of fans to a field hockey game, but we had so many fans for the championship," McLaughlin said. "It was awesome. We kept fighting for it the whole game."
McLaughlin has been no stranger to the score sheet for New Trier, with 24 goals and 10 assists on the season. She put 114 shots on goal.
"She's just a force," Nykaza said. "Her athleticism, how fast she moves with the ball, how fast she moves without the ball."
This was McLaughlin's first year on varsity, as she concentrated on playing hockey for the Chicago Young Americans as a winger. As she looks ahead to college choices, McLaughlin knows she'll have a tough choice to make.
"It's going to be difficult," McLaughlin said. "Field hockey has become more and more important, but I love them both."
With its state title in hand, New Trier was ranked No. 2 by MAX Field Hockey in the West/Midwest region.
Lake Forest's season had plenty of highlights, including a 2-0 semifinal victory against North Shore Country Day. In that game, the Scouts were bolstered by goals from senior midfielder Sarah Considine and sophomore midfielder Kylie Perkins. Scouts sophomore goalie Elsa Goldsberry kept the North Shore Country Day attack in check to record the shutout.
In the title match, Lake Forest coach Cat Catanzaro said the two-time defending state champion Scouts controlled play early.
"We were peppering their goalie (senior Emma Lauber), who had a phenomenal game," Catanzaro said. "If we were just able to get one early, but we couldn't."
Latest Sports
Catanzaro said that being down two goals at halftime was a tremendous obstacle, but she added that nothing can take away from the Scouts' impressive season.
"In the moment, of course we weren't happy. We had worked so hard to finish what we started, especially for our seniors," Catanzaro said. "But after a couple of days, there was clarity. We had one heck of a season."
Considine agreed.
"I was really proud that we made it to the state championship game," she said. "New Trier had a lot of fast, very skilled players that made them dangerous."

For my niece, I'm making a Kindle cover with some gorgeous Victorian fabric. I'll also be giving her a toile de jouy cushion as I know she really likes the fabric.
|Toile de Jouy and lace cushion cover - £14.95 each
For my sister, I've made this beautiful jewellery roll in the same fabric
|Victorian Gothic Jewellery Roll - available made to order from £20.00 each
I'll her a framed antique French housekeeper's key that will fit her bedroom decor perfectly. For our daughters, I'm making cosmetic bags and over-the-door organisers (having seen their bathrooms and bedroom floors this is a necessity rather than a luxury!)I haven't made these before, but luckily I do have a pattern to follow so at least I'm not starting from scratch.
For my granddaughter Ava, I have knitted a scarf in a lovely soft pastel green wool. I've double knitted it to make the texture extra soft and warm. If course, I'll have to make one for my grandson Cole too; in a nice charcoal grey I think. I'd love to make him a bearded beanie, but I'm not sure my daughter would ever forgive me for that!
And for my mum and in-laws, I'll be putting together food hampers. No, not a collection of random tins or luxury goods that no-one ever wants to eat. I mean a selection of home cooked supper dishes, baked goods and preserves making a practical and tasty gift that's always appreciated.
So with all this in mind, it's time I got myself organised and wrote some shopping lists. And you know how I love a list...

Attorney Protecting Your Rights In Tenant Succession Claims
What does it mean to have "succession rights" under New York City's landlord-tenant laws? When a primary leaseholder vacates a property, remaining occupants sharing apartment costs and/or living arrangements have the right to sign on as the primary leaseholder, in order to gain rent-regulated legal protection.
If you are in a circumstance in which a succession claim is your best option, call me, tenants' rights and eviction defense attorney Jeff McAdams, with offices located on Broadway. I have been helping people protect their rights in the fiercely competitive New York City rental market for over 30 years. I understand the issues, and I know what lengths property owners will go to in order to raise rents on the next renter, rather than continue with rent controls.
Guard Your Ground, Lest Lawless Poachers Steal Your Rights
The New York City apartment rental market is among the tightest in the world. For every vacancy that comes on the market, hundreds of renters from around the city, the country or the world may be ready to jump on the lease. If you currently reside on a sublet arrangement, or live with a primary leaseholder who is moving, fighting for succession rights may be the only option you have to avoid eviction or facing substantial increases in rent.
The economic and legal benefits of a succession claim can be substantial, because in today's market a rent-regulated apartment can almost never be replaced with equivalent space and location for the price. When the total financial advantages are calculated and contrasted with the cost of a free-market unit at current rates, the difference in expense and amount of savings can be staggering.
To Maintain Tenancy Rights, There Are Some Things You Must Demonstrate
Succession rights are not automatically granted to an individual already residing in an apartment. You must prove that you qualify. If the landlord wants you evicted after losing their primary leasee, you can count on them obtaining an experienced lawyer. You need and deserve experienced legal representation on your side, as well.
Many tenants attempt to defend themselves in housing court without a lawyer. However, a succession rights case is sufficiently complicated to make this a very risky proposition for even the most knowledgeable tenant.
I will help you demonstrate that you meet the required conditions, including:
- Cohabitation with the leaseholder for a period of at least two years in most instances
- Proving that you have a close familial or similar relationship with the original lessee
- The length and nature of your relationship
- Sharing of expenses
- Providing legal documents such as a will, health care proxy or powers of attorney
- Behavior patterns that evidence a long-term emotional commitment
Contact McAdams Law Before You File Any Paperwork In Housing Court
Call me at 212-257-9425 or send in the email contact form to arrange an opportunity to discuss your circumstances. I offer a telephone evaluation to review your case and explain the process of obtaining succession rights.

IM+ Pro, one of the best multi-client chat programs for iOS devices, has been updated with a location-based feature that makes it easy to find random chat participants nearby your current location. Developer Shape Services says Neighbors provides users "the opportunity to find new real life connections and friends with common interests". This is interesting as we haven't seen a beneficial integration of location, which is the latest fad, with chat services.
The Neighbors feature works pretty straightforward. You locate people on the map to engage in chat sessions with nearby friends. Others discover you based on your location information that can be as accurate as house, street or city – your choice.
The Neighbors feature could be also used to find new connections and points of interest, post local announcements – even buy or sell local goods and services. The all-in-one IM+ Pro app supports virtually every major chat platform you could think of, including Skype, GTalk, Yahoo, MSN/Live Messenger, AIM/iChat, ICQ, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, Jabber and more. The program is provided as a universal binary optimized for both iPhone/iPod touch and iPad and costs ten bucks.

It was 1994 when Tomás Achaval started dreaming about Nómade and 7 Lunas Wines. The Andes and the surrounding constellation of vineyards captivated his soul at the time he was the president of Chandon Winery in Argentina.
From that moment on he knew that the wine world, its people and culture would turn out to be the axis of his life.
As a world traveler he learned from experienced people, who shared with him their knowledge which Tomás wittily put into practice at Bodegas Chandon taking the company to a top international level.
In 2002, with all this precious experience and his never-ending passion, Tomás started looking for the best terroirs in the Andean Region where the selected grape varieties can reach their full expression to make wines that will capture the unique flavor of the Andes to captivate and entertain the consumer's senses.
Just Wine partners with the finest bars, restaurants, wineries and retailers from around the world!
