Homogeneous

This was what I wore during the first Abreeza Fashion Forum. The instruction was to wear colorless attire so I opted to wear a B&W mini dress.

I have big thighs since forever so I am honestly not sure if this mini dress looks good with my legs so I decided to pull up with six-inch pumps instead. What do you think?

Gloomy as it may seem. This saturnine feeling is no longer endured. I may still be living alone but the inner glee rejoices. 

Pardon such literary intro, I was just too agitated to shout.

Lemme start by putting this outfit as a symbol. It started last November when the worst agony I could ever feel in my life occurred in me. Those were the longest months of my life. No it doesn't seemed like a year, perhaps the  months preceding November 2013 could be compared to a never ending century of tribulation. 

For the first time in forever, I could cry a river not just every night but almost everyday. And those were the most helpless moments of my life. I don't care if I'm overreacting or what. Most people say I'm weird and some of my friends say I'm strong. But this time, I can see a forlorn crying lady in front of the mirror each time.

Those were the moments when you've trusted no one but yourself and God only. For I was certain that every time I drop something tremendous, something overwhelming is coming on my way.

Starting 2014, I can't say I have finally moved on with my life's problems. But I can attest that I experienced the freedom I have never encountered in my whole life. Without my huge problem, I think I might not force myself to find a job. Now I'm enjoying everything I want, I can buy anything I want, I suffer with my mistakes. Hence, everything is now under my own control, whether the results may be good or bad, it is my decision.

I'm still on my way to finding what God has prepared in return to the biggest sacrifice I have withheld. But for now, I can finally say, I'm happy.

I wish this outfit post would still be valid. This was taken before the Foto Modelo Ateneo season 3 happened when we need to sell tickets in all black attire with heels. If you're an Atenean, you will know what I mean. 

I may have been to a monochromatic moment of my life but this time, I'm starting to add and collect crayons again.

Jack & Jill

Much away with all the sleepless, homeless nights apparently evident in these photos, I can say, I can still feel the aftermath of my junior life.

You may not notice it, but for some people who already know my life, you will see how I dressed up and looked differently here. These photos were taken at almost five in the afternoon and for everyone’s information, I just woke up and rushed to school.

Zero tolerance to aesthetics. My hair isn’t curled, no makeup on and totally underdressed! Well for my own perspective.

Imagine this outfit without the pop of the neon pink suspender belt? Everything would be dull and boring, exactly how I felt that moment.

See you around next Washday!

Tough

While you’re scrolling down the pics and if you’re from Ateneo, you’re probably wondering how again I’ve entered the gates of Ateneo with this outfit.

HAHA. I’m not a baddass after all to tell you. Let’s just say some of us gained confidence of doing this thinking that this was the last day of class last semester (the day after the final exams) Talk about how late I've blogged this.

This was the day after the Gawad Pluma and WE NEED to go back to school for our Video Editing class’ so-called Premiere day, the showcasing of our short films.

This would be our last requirement to finish before we could finally shout hurrah for sembreak.

Anyway, I would stop talking a lot before I might spoil you the movie so better watch it: (sorry for blurry quality tough, I can't understand YT)

And that was Mike, the Philippines' Mario Maurer :)

Hope you like it!

Ciao!

Striped Sophisticated

If you already saw me, you'll probably know I bleached my hair last July

so obviously this post was already overdue and I'm asking your pardon for that. I think I've already been on the peak of being a Masscom where I seemed to leave everything behind and busy doing my requirements.

From submitting five articles for our Journalism class, photo and video cover for Kadayawan, making of newspaper cover dummy, Short film for Hum, Station ID and program ID script for Radio, MTV shoot for Video Ed class and counting! This will never end until sembreak comes. This doesn't count our shameless video shoot infront of the crowd, interviews, sleepless nights, yes this sums up a life being a Mass Communication student.

No one expected that it will be that hard.

Another was because of our dead tired rehearsals for Sayawtenista that made our efforts paid by winning the 2nd runner up!

Much away with the stress stuff, here I am. Welcome me back again to blogging! -my ultimate stress reliever.

Oh blog, sorry for not updating you in weeks.

Haha anyway, I've been wearing monochromes these past few washdays yet I don't have any idea why. Some say I'm still in the stage of grief. Lol

Happy Toes

It's a colorful Washday! Not totally.

I just received this rainbow wedges from Asian Vogue and decided to pair it with monochrome pieces since I don't wanna be over the top and so it will definitely stand out! For my accessories however, I decided to match it with my footwear.

See you around next Washday!
