Badboy in Tokyo

I've been receiving endless requests of readers' anticipation of me blogging about my recent trip and I'll start this off by my first outfit post in Japan.

Yes, you've heard it right. I was in Japan!

Lemme start this off with an icky gross drama LOL

Some (if not all) of my closest friends knew exactly how my life turned upside down by the start of 2014. I've been in my darkest hours (that I need not to mention in this blog anymore lol pardon me) and I've been seeking answers from this dilemma. I consider it as the biggest failure of my life. Given the situation, I made drastic changes, took risks and in the end, I happily survived (kinda).

So before I reach a point of receptacle of emotions, I'm happy to announce that I finally had my partial answers, and this counts as one; my Japan experience for free. Yes, you've read it right, FOR FREE!

The moment the Jenesys 2.0 program emailed the acceptance letter to me, I was in bliss and the first thing that came to my mind was the fall outfits that I could bring and wear. Lol

I'm a forever light traveler. Even to the point where I won't pack clothes anymore but rather bring the necessities. My reason? I would go shopping anyway. So basically, I did. And did you know that all of the items I'm wearing in my outfit are all thrifted? *wink

So yeah, unto my outfit: I knew this is really not my style though but I wanted to get out from my comfort zone and wear snapbacks! I decided to wear the autumn basics: plaids, greens and browns while walking around the streets of Tokyo on my first day. What do you think?

Girl and Grunge

Each one of us have big dream. And we’re working our ass off just to achieve these goals. But for some unexplainable reasons, I dreamed of becoming a personal assistant just at least once in my life.

Am I born of being a slave or what? Nah. I just don’t know.

Being hired as a personal assistant or a production assistant had been in my bucket list before I die.

To those who wanna know, a production assistant is someone who is being commanded in a production team to accomplish tasks. In tagalog, utus-utusan – in the field of Media. In my case, in the backstage.

I’ve been a stage friend since forever and it satisfies me whenever I’m witnessing a successful show or event and me as being part of it (looks like I’m born to be a Masscom at heart). This is the reason why I started a looooong intro in this post because this was what I wore when my friend modelled a fashion show and I volunteered to be her PA. I enjoyed rushing into the backstage busy preparing her, styling her, fixing her clothes and keeping her personal belongings.

By doing so, I must wear a comfortable outfit that will indeed make sure to enable me to freely move because I’ll be very busy big time.

As a fashion blogger, comfort is nothing without style so never forget to still be in style while things get a little chaotic.

Ribbon Grunge

How could one possibly merge grunge and sweet in one outfit? Well, consider myself as a risk-taker for that.

I enjoy trying out different styles without sacrificing my own and this is just one of those.

Tip: By using monochromes and girly elements

For shoots like these, my photog will always allow himself to reach the extremes. He always makes sure to choreo my poses.

Grungy doll

Everyone is permitted to have the impression that he's my boyfriend because I will definitely agree! I mean, in the most bizarre sense *wink

No wonder he's the most brilliant photog, bestfriend, brother, sister, husband, wife, sleepovermate, classmate and fashion twin I will ever cherish.

Introducing, Mr. Ralston San Pedro, the one that doesn't lemme know his blog url. Haha

Sorry twin, but I guess the focus on the photos was always meant for me. What did you do? Haha

Much away with the introductions, unto my outfit.

I wanna celebrate being "me" during the last washday of being 18. Lol

and I turned 19 last September 6 and this only proves that this blogpost was almost two months late! Pardon.

I tried to get away with my fashion adventure for once and went back to being "Cham" again and that being me never forget to embody ribbon, pink, laces or anything girly and doll-ish. For the first time in school I wore this dress I bought from one of my favorite clothing brand, Genevieve Gozum. This dress was indeed reserved for special days like this! Clap clap.

To create contrary and tension, I topped it off by wearing my grungy denim vest with my metal necklace. Those additional pieces indeed made my whole look surprising and with a twist. What do you think?

See you around on the first day of school!

Ciao!

I know it's a total contradiction of the usual Cham but hey, that doesn't stop me from exploring something new. Sometimes I need to try out something else to see if I'm worthy looking that way. What do you think?


Pardon my chasms over the past few days because I'm hella freakin out with my laggy laptop plus my over hectic sched. How I wish I can still survive my Junior year in Mass Communication. That's the very reason why I've just posted this outfit late. I wore this look last month during summer class. Yes. You've read it right. LAST MONTH. So you'll know how busy I am that I can't even blog about my recent looks.


So there was this day I got out from being the usual girly and quirky and tried to be grungy instead. I bought this thrifted vest and I decided to bleach it, braided my hair high and tight and tada! I have no idea if it really worked well but I loved it! I love to be different at times!
