No colors

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.

Not so Asian

I'll be forever sorry for being MIA lately. No, erase that. I've always been missing. Lol

This outfit was taken ages ago I can't even remember what month did I wore this so I think before this post rusts, Imma post it.

Honestly, I don't have anything to say about this outfit since this is something below usual and zero fancy. Is it? This is so me minus the girly feels. Haha

Anyway, instead of talking nonsense about my outfit, Imma update you guys with my life recently. Please give me this excuse, this is a blog after all. Lol

So yeah, I've been busy to work lately because I work from morning until dawn. Yes, you've heard it right, DAWN! And admittedly, I can honestly pull off decent outfit shoots everyday if I can, but I just can't. I wore "blogworthy" outfits everyday to the office however, I'm too busy to do an outfit shoot and I have no photog. So whoever wants to take photos of me, raise your hands please. Lol

If you've been following my Instagram account (@chamtanteras), you can really have a daily update of my life. Actually, it's been more than six months since I decided to grow my bangs. Yeah so this post proves how "ancient" this outfit post was. Tune in for more updates!

Ideal Boyfriend

As much as I would like to apologize for being MIA lately, I knew you already had my reasons. And I will use the same reasons again: School.

Much away with my pointless reasons, lemme thank you, the one reading this, by patiently and continually checking out my blog despite that I rarely fuel this site.

Should I utilize this blogpost not just as a simple fashion write-up but might as well use this to interpret my thoughts? Should you let me?

This outfit says a lot. I mean, it's far from my usual style yet it bursts out the androgyny in me. I'm no lesbo, I just hoped I pulled off an outfit like this. Did I?

To those who didn't know yet, this is my ideal outfit for my future boyfriend (because I'm single haha). I'm attracted to guys with a good taste of fashion (well in my case, that's very obvious lol) especially if they're wearing the unbeatable combo: khaki pants + denim polo.

I used to like Asian cuties before I don't know what happened but a sudden shift of taste occurred and poof! I'm now attracted to bad guys.No, not literally bad guys.I meant the face and the physical looks.

I like it when a guy is surrounded by mustache, beard or anything that makes a man, a man. I'm not even sure if I'm cray cray or what but loud and proud guys turn me on!

Those were the things that makes a guy attractive for me: "dirty" face, loud personality, sense of fashion and his physique. Yeah, a typical contemporary "bad boy" as I will sum up.

Meanwhile, my standards never and will never be followed. I always fell for the sweetest guy on earth regardless of his physical aspects. You, what's your ideal boyfriend?

Sophisticated

Can you believe this outfit post was worn and shoot last summer?

Yes I don't find any worth of a rush for this post so I just blogged it. Forgive me, there more important and timely blogposts I need to prioritize. Haha

If you've been following me on Instagram (@chamtanteras), you will notice that it is the only app I use often. From the word itself, it's instant and I can always share everything!

I've been so MIA lately so I will feed you with full sophistication via this post. I tried to be mature and get away with the usual cutie and hippie Cham. I just wished I pulled it off! Hihi

Palazzo pants are on trend now and it can either be boho-ish/ laidback or sophisticated. If it's printed, it can be worn with ease since it casual. And if it's plain, it's more suitable if it's worn formally. Agree?
