Hello 2016

Hello 2016! Finally got the nerves to post in my blog again. Guess what my welcoming post for 2016 is -- Of course, a polka dot-ty outfit. LOL. I've been away for the past week (Can't wait to share my HK trip with you!) and there's really lot of plans made with friends for the remaining days of vacation so I'm happy to have squeezed in a blog post before I head out today. Gaaaah, I think I've never spent an entire day yet here at home. We've been so busy. 2016 is already kicking and I'm loving it! I'd rather live a busy life with lots of adventures, discovering new things and having things done than just staying in my room being unproductive the whole time. Though there is really nothing wrong with having some rest and chilling with your loved ones, but I'd prefer the former. I always wanna get on my feet and be at all places doing whatsoever with the important people in my life but of course, still come home at night with new stories to tell for everyone. There's still no place like home!! <3

My own version of casual dressing usually involves denim. My sartorial picks have been monotonous lately, aka white, black, denims. My shopping loots for the past few weeks was nothing but basics. Everything that you can seem to pair for each piece existing in my closet. Not so sure if my style have just been evolving to practical or bland.

12/12/2015

Sorry for the lack of a better title for this post. Lately I've been having a hard time thinking of one, so I think, why not just use the date when I wore this outfit? It feels more of like a journal, hence the name of the blog. ;) (You think I got away with that? Yes? Yes? LOL)

Korea Trip Day 1

Here's a long overdue post of our Korea trip last December 2014. LOL. Imagine, it's almost been a year!!! Still, better late than never, right? I've always been excited about this trip because it was my first time to experience snow and negative degree celsius temperatures while walking along the streets. Plus, it's Korea! The fact that I'll be going to places I've just seen in Koreanovelas would really be fascinating -- but really, whenever I travel, I always find everything fascinating! HAHAHA. What's not to be fascinated about anyway? You'll learn about a new culture, taste new foods, see new places, and even encounter a lot of people, and it's all very exciting, right? So travel while you're able and while you still can. We're born to see the world ;)

Loving Him Was Red

Taking a break from reading too much novels. I just finished Anna and the French Kiss and gooooooooosh. It was a damn good read. I can't take the book out of my hands the moment I started reading it. I'm starting to believe that I am a hopeless romantic.

Forget Me Not

Is it really possible to just forget? Like completely forget how to do the things you used to or just how they were? Well maybe there would be muscle memory or your mind playing around with you and repeats the same scene again and again. But how long will it last before doing the same old thing and feel completely and unbelievably new to you? Like, your computer suddenly restarted and you haven't saved the paper you've been working on for hours and it can't be recovered and now you have to start all over again with nothing but the faded memory of it?

Spike Through

Just a quick post for tonight! Still working through my backlogs. 

The Selection

The rainy season is officially here, with typhoon Glenda along the way. I hope everyone's safe! I never liked the rain, though I could use that as an excuse to don on layers of clothing and wear fashionable pieces such as leather jackets and trench coats. But it was never appealing to me, I always felt sad and down whenever the rain is there. It brings me bad vibes, ugh! It's like a big barrier that's stopping me from doing things I wanna do because I just want to snuggle in my bed all day. Which is what I'm doing right now actually. I'm stuck at home with the company of a good book, box of revel bar from purple oven (YUMMY!!) and a cup of hot chocolate. Yes, this makes it up for all the BVness the rain brings. ;)

Day 1: Experience CamSur with Havaianas

Finally!! Here's what we did at the first day of the #ExperienceCamSurWithHavaianas !! As you've read in my previous post, the Havaianas team held A Dream Photoshoot by MangoRED for 5 lucky couples who won the raffle draw for the Havaianatico couples who color their love story with the most colorful flip-flops in the world. This event was not only most-awaited by the couples but for us, bloggers, as well. We had so much exciting activities lined up!

Busy As A Bee

Omygaaaaahd. It felt like forever since I last updated my blog!!! I really missed this. A LOT! I can't believe that the last three months have been my busiest and I'm really glad it's over. Well maybe just a little. I've been busy the past months mainly because of Verve 4: Transcendance. Lol. (Yes because of verve, not because of my acads, loljk.) But really, a lot of my time was alloted for verve training. I can't believe I haven't gone home for a month for that. But it was really fun and worth all the efforts and pain we experienced in preparation for the big production. I can't explain the feeling while I was dancing on stage and seeing everyone in the audience smiling, cheering, clapping, and all those sorts of things. Uhh, I wish I could do a concert with my sj fam anytime soon. Fast forward to verve 5, maybe? :D

But days after verve came in my hell weeks, so I still haven't find the time to post in here. I have to catch up with my acads and spend quality time with my family as well. I haven't had enough sleeps for the past few days because of my final exams. My acads is killing me!!! Well maybe just my physics. Lol. Huhu, Lord, please let me pass. :( I'm just 5 units away from my junior standing, I really can't believe how fast time flies! 

So anyway, I still haven't had a taste of summer yet and here goes the online registration tomorrow for summer classes. I want to take some of my courses in advance so I won't have to take all the difficult subjects all at once. Now I have to spend my summer vacation in UPLB! *sobs* But anyway, it's okay since our 1st semester would start on August. More vacation, more fun! :D

Let's not just talk about my outfit since it was way back last January. Lol. Just wanted to post something and decided to post backlogs since I have no new outfit because I don't have time to shoot lately or I just keep forgetting my camera =))

P.S. I hope I could still update my blog despite my busy schedule for the coming weeks because of my summer classes. And I really hope for a summer getaway real soon! Can't wait to take my summer dresses out for a spin already. Lol.

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!

B&W

As I've said, it's fun to try an all black and white outfit - and in the midriff-skater skirt combo! It's been all the rage for quite a while now and who's to blame?  What's not to love when it's the perfect combination of sexy and classy, trying to show some skin without going overboard.

For a more conservative look, I decided to add a leather jacket. Yup, leather once again. Lol. I told you I have a thing for leathers and sweaters. Gotta take advantage while the weather still permits so lo and behold for upcoming numbers with leather and sweats!

I was going for a minimalist look so this sexy ankle-strap heels were perfect!

I was really tired (but very happy) this day and I just want to meet my own deadline so I had to post this. Sorry if I couldn't elaborate further. Lol. So why am I so happy and tired today? Uhmmmm, lemme see. AHA! I just had done christmas shopping two days in a row! Wooooo. Santa must be really good this year, well he is actually, all year round!! <3

THANK YOU MOMMY AND DADDY! YOU'RE THE BEST-EST! I LOVE YOU TO BITS! ;)

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. ;)

Brooklyn

*look up* lol

Just a short post for this evening. Wore this for a casual lunch out with my grandmother who went all the way from Bicol for my tito's birthday last last week. I've been leaning towards pullovers, sweaters and jackets for the past days and I have to say that the weather wasn't exactly how I thought it would be. There's still the intense heat during the afternoon and humid air at late night. Now I really do wish for snow in the Philippines.

Hehe, told you it would be a short post. I can't think of anything else to say because of the tiring but super FUN night-to-morning-bonding I had last night with my highschool friends. I was awake for 24 hours for the nth time! Lol. So now I better catch up with sleep. Goodnight! <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 :*
