Take A Break

Taking a break from flooding my mind with Physics82 stuff. I still can't believe it's already been a week since classes started. My mind is so preoccupied that I can't keep track of time again. So, being the busy-me, I needed to study tonight for my exams on Tuesday because I still have other things to attend to on the next few days. And I think my head's about to explode with all the information I need to absorb. HAHA! I need to analyze and understand everything tonight since my mind and ears aren't functioning during our lecture classes. Lol

To ease my mind a bit, let me blog about the outfit that I wore last week. I wore a pants, brogues and a bratop - totally the opposite of a shopping outfit (at least for me) so I would stray away from fitting clothes but unfortunately it didn't work. My eyes started to sparkle the second I saw all the SALE tag on all my favorite brands around Makati and tried on some pieces and can't help myself but buy them. Uhh, I really need to control myself from shopping too much. I still have a lot of unused clothes inside my closet and a lot of old clothes I have only worn once or twice. Better use them first before buying new ones! Yeah, I really need to keep that in mind! 

It was a super fun day so let me tell you how I rolled my first Sunday of the year. First, we had the usual Sunday breakfast, and by usual I meant eating breakfast at Mcdonald's at SLEX. We always eat there whenever we are going to Manila Sunday morning. Then went straight to Greenbelt to hear mass. Yep, explains why I wore pants! Lol. Then had lunch at Superbowl with my cousins and aunts and uncles. It was my cousin's birthday treat. After eating lunch, my cousin Bianca and I roamed around Glorietta then head to Krispy Kreme for some snacks. Once we're full, my mom and I went to SM Makati to buy some stuff then we roamed around Glorietta again. Haha. We did nothing but walk and walk and walk and walk. My feet actually hurts but it's always fun to look around. And a lot more fun when you get to buy things on sale! Heehee :p After a little shopping, we went to LB because I had to review for my exam at ENSC11 the next day. I reviewed with my sj friends and we stayed up until 3 am. It was the perfect first weekend, except for the last part HAHA jk. I still had fun while reviewing since I was with my friends <3

Frozen

Have you ever watched or even just heard of Walt Disney's Frozen? Well if you haven't you are missing a big part of your life. Lol, okay, so maybe I was exaggerating. But really, I just can't help but give praise for the movie. It was so good - the animation, the music, the story. I just want to watch it again. DVDs, please come out sooner! And while still waiting for the original and clear copies of the movie, I have (or my sister have) downloaded the movie, its not the best quality but it can be dealt with. Haha, desperate times call for desperate measures, eh? Lol. One of my favorite songs from the movie is Love is an Open Door. Try to listen to it, it brings good vibes. ;)

So anyway, what has frozen got to do something with this post for today? It's not like I'm wearing ice and the pictures don't really scream 'cold', you could say that by simply looking at the intense afternoon heat at the background, HAHAH! Hmm, so while looking at the pictures for today's post, seeing the white, clean vest and icy blue-like heels, it kind of like reminded me of the movie! (sorry, maipilit lang. HAHA :p)

I wore this last week when my mom and I went to Paseo to fetch my sister. We looked for some things and had lunch. Just a simple and SHORT stroll, so I have to take advantage and wear one of my heels. It's not like I can wear them everyday at school or during long walks at the mall. My feet would give up on me! Haha. 

I'd like to make the most out of my vacation and I'm really glad we have lots of plans. (which means more outfit posts!) Well it's like we always had plans anyway, and I know I'm really lucky to experience this kind of fortune, so thank you Lord! <3 but for now, since I'm staying at home, I gotta catch up with my series. So, bye for now!

Solidarity Weekend

"The shirt you wear shows you care." 

Went all casual last week and wore my #TulongPH shirt to show love for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. It's been almost a month already since the typhoon hit the Philippines. It's one of the most destructive typhoons we ever had. Thousands of families in the Visayas were homeless, foodless for weeks. We could all help in our own little ways, just by wearing this simple shirt to help spread the word can even make a big difference. 

Seeing pictures and hearing news about the aftermath of the typhoon made me realize even more how lucky I am to have food, shelter, clothes, and not to mention, family for everyday of my life. Well anyway, we really cannot predict life. We will all have those ups and downs so let us just be thankful for what we have now - and enjoy every moment of it. ;)

She Bangs!

I've been meaning to try this hair style for a long time now, but I only got the courage to give it a shot a few weeks back. Thanks to the music icon-themed Christmas Party my SJDC fam held last December 7. I copied Carly Rae Jepsen, hence the bangs :D I don't have any pictures from the party though </3 Anyways, a lot has reacted when they first saw me and my full bangs. Many complimented me while there are a few who says I look better without it. But either way, I still love it! Trying new hairstyles (or just anything new) is really exciting, don't you think? :>

So down with my outfit today, I built this outfit with these cute babies - my new favorite! Got them on 50% off during the Buy1-Take1-of-markdown-items-madness at Forever21! Such a steal!!!! During this holiday season, almost every mall and every store is having a sale. More the reasons to be happy and get everything you wanted for Christmas! 

I decided to pair my new babies with this black, versatile dress. I love having amazing pieces like this. It can be styled differently from girly, edgy, casual, semi-formal, you name it! You just gotta know how to match certain pieces and put on the right accessories. And since this was just a casual day out to meet one of my ninangs whom I've seen for the first time since I was born, I went for a casual look. Styled it with a vest and sneaks then I was good to go. ;)

Bomber!

Corlorful ensemble couldn't really get out of my way. Maybe it's just who I am. I like to keep things playful and happy. And I think pops of colors was just the right way to show it. Who wouldn't feel happy when you see all those bright colors, right? ;) one thing I always keep in mind when dressing up is to always add a pop of color, although a black and white outfit would be fun to try sometimes, I just can't help myself from adding a color to break the dullness! 

Anyway, wore this after hittin' the gym three Sundays ago. (yeah, I did go to the gym you guys bwhahaha) Went to The Medical City because my cousin was admitted, then to BHS and SM Aura to shop for some things. Christmas is just around the corner and we all have to start with our christmas shopping, yes? Yes! One of the many reasons to love christmas even more! <3  

P.S. Thank God for scheduled posts, cause maybe by the time this would be posted, I'd be out in UP Diliman streets for the Lantern Parade having fun with the best people in the world. <3

Leather Weather

And as promised, one post per day, right? :-) 

December weather really makes me giddy (well, who doesn't) because its the only time of the year when I can pull out those leather jackets and layer like there's no tomorrow. But I'm not much of a fan of layering, I just liked the idea. Lol, I'm really fond of leather though. It just makes everything effortlessly cool. 

Me, wearing pants? Well you know how that goes, it must be a Sunday! HAHA my Sundays are always fun - meaning a day spent outside the house. Normally, from breakfast to dinner. In this particular Sunday though, I just had the time of my life. (HAHA okay, kiddin'!) 'Cause after months of asking my family to eat at IHOP, they finally agreed to it! AND I'M SO FREAKIN' HAPPY, AS WELL AS MY TUMMY! I swear, their pancakes are to die forrrr!!!! Should definitely go back there, S.O.O.N. hehehe

I don't know what's with this picture, but it really is deceiving. LOL it makes me wanna think I'm in New York or something. Well I really wish I was in New York!! Ahh, New York <3 Somebody please take me there, pretty please :>

*oh, hello photo bombers*

So yeah, I don't really know how to end this post. Maybe a good night would do? Hihi. More posts soon! Mwa :*

Grown Up

Sometimes, its hard to act like a grown up - to be the one to adjust, to understand, to give way and to make decisions against your will. But in most instances, one has to stand and be the "grown up" just to make everything okay. (Okay, wala akong pinaghuhugutan. Just bringing up something to talk about, hahahahaha!) I'm nearly 18, and most of the time, I still have to remind myself to act and think like a grown up. I feel immature and often act childish. I always let my emotions cloud my judgement, I'm stubborn and I don't foresee the consequences of my actions. It just seems that I'm not ready for the real world yet. *sigh*

Maybe by dressing up like a grown up, it could somehow help me think like a grown up. (Oh, I used the word "up" three times in a sentence.) (And yes, I know that what I just said doesn't make sense. Wala lang akong masabi, sorry AHAHAHAHAHA) 

So now, onto my outfit. When I wore this number and looked at the mirror, the first thought that entered mind was, "Ay, ang matured ko tingnan." And I somehow loved it. I rarely wear matured-looking clothes because I'm used to wearing girly and playful looks. But as I always say, it's not gonna hurt if you try new things once in a while. It's good to experiment and go beyond your comfort zone to discover and invent new looks that suits you.

This looks exactly the same as the shoes I've been dying to have from Zara last December 2012. We've been to every branch we could be just to find this particular pair and unfortunately, the stocks left are not in my size. I almost cried, just so you know! Haha. I found tons of online shops which sell the same design, but I'm too scared to buy shoes online because it might not fit me perfectly. So when I saw this pair in Kryz Uy's booth last BU5, I immediately grabbed it, fit it and paid for it - all mine in just 2 minutes (yeah, that's how fast things in BUs were. Lol) Up until now, I can't help but smile every time I try this pair on. It's so perf <3

Oh by the way, happy father's day to all dads out there, especially to my one and only. Happy father's day daddy!! Thank you for everything. I love you <3

King and I

I really am so happy or even ecstatic when my mom told me that we would be watching King and I in Resorts World Manila! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to watch another musical play in the New Port Performing Arts Theatre. The last time I watched there was already years ago, when we watched The Sound of Music and it was really great! HAHA. I think I'm already a fan of Musical Plays!! My aunt got 10 VIP tickets for free! Take note, VIP! HAHA I've been convincing my mom to watch King and I since last year and luckily, my prayers were answered! God really had a much better plan <3

The dress code says Smart Casual. And because it would be held in Resorts World Manila, I didn't think for a second that wearing this dress would be considered overdressed. I think I've already said it in my previous post that I really love to dress up whenever we go to RWM HAHA. People who go there consider dresses/outifts like this as their casual wear. LOL So they wouldn't mind even if you wear sky high heels, maxi dresses, or anything fancy because they'll be wearing the same thing and all you have to do is go with the flow!

It's one of the few events that I could attend and have the chance to wear my heels, so I would gladly take the opportunity and wear one! I missed wearing this pair, I almost forgot how elegant they look! Nude pumps really makes the illusion of longer-looking legs, its one of the many things I would list in my must-haves!

We watched last May 12, 2013, 7:00 pm. So as you could notice, I wore the same bag and watch in my previous post! HAHA. Notice the watch, from violet (in my previous post) to black! HAHA

I've had this dress for almost 5 years now and I'm glad that it still fits me. I'm just not ready to give this dress up yet. I think this is the first expensive dress my parents bought for me! HAHA

Ehem, my sister's wearing my clothes! Ahck! HAHA. I'm my mom's and sister's personal stylist as well! And sometimes, my dad asks for my help/opinion too! Hihi <3
