I Know What You Did Last Summer

I've mentioned in my last post that I've been hanging out with my elementary friends, and of course they're not the only people I hang out with. I took the chance this summer to spend some time with my cousins who I really missed, especially my only girl cousin who is like my little sister. Since their house is in the city, I took her around some malls and treated her with some stuff I thought she'd like.

I really came to appreciate Bacolod more during these times, how it's really clean and has a lot to offer to tourists. It's really developing, and I guess in a few years time it would become one of the major cities in the Visayas, in terms of culture and architecture.

The city is just so picturesque that even the bare streets, I had to take pictures of. And the fact the sidewalks are tiled with bricks, it makes it all the more better-looking. =)

Oh how I love this city. You have to visit Bacolod if you haven't yet.

Oh, and this is my little cousin, who I love dressing up with shorts cause she has really long and lean legs for a 10-year-old. She said she wanted to be a model, and I can really see her becoming one. She also loves fashion so much, and my mother blames me for that because I keep on exposing her to fashion-related stuff. haha. I just can't help it, as I said she's the only girl cousin I have.

And this is me, being fat and lazy. haha. I'm just enjoying the summer so much, are you?

Perfect Night to Dress Like Hipsters

Here are some webcam photos of my friends and I while taking a break from our random "photoshoot/video-making". haha. We've been spending a lot of time together these past few days, mostly at my room, and it feels like I was taken back during my elementary days. These girls are my oldest friends and we know each other too well, but since college have brought us apart, we took some time to catch up with each other's lives. Too much really have changed, that I learned after having some :intense" chat with these pretty ladies, but it's always good to know that you have someone to run to when you badly need stability and assurance that everything will turn out well. Anyways, since I mentioned that we had a "photoshoot" of sorts, I'll be posting some of our pictures after editing them. But don't get your hopes too high, it's nothing much really, it's just a bunch of pictures of us standing at a blank wall wearing some of my clothes. haha.

Also, this summer, I had been working for our org's freshman handbook, which is like a guide to freshies as to what to do and what to expect in their college life. While making it, I thought of sharing some tips here in my blog as well,. Just some guidelines and pointers, that I myself had learned in my four years of college.  You know, about what to wear in school (we don't have uniform), what to bring in first day of school, dorm life and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure they would be of help, so please watch out for it. =))

Let's Go Be Weirdos Together

You know that moment when too many things are happening all at once that you just stop and realize how lucky you are to be part of that moment, lucky to be surrounded with such wondrous and joyous people you are privileged to call "friends". I never thought that moment would ever happen to me, I thought those things only occur to people who do really good things like donate kidney to someone unfortunate person or well, something generous like that. But boy was I wrong, come prom, a Eureka moment occurred to me.

To be honest, starting college at a strange and alien environment, I never thought I would gain so much friends, much more such cool and awesome people. I just thought I would just meet a single soul who would be patient enough to put up with a weirdo like me and if I get lucky, maybe a couple of them and we would share our weirdoness at some weirdo place around school. But I DID meet those weirdos, not just a couple of them, a whole bunch of them who call themselves Scions '09. And we DO hang around sharing our weirdoness to each other and not at some weird place around school at that, but some cool place I would rather not share here for some personal reasons, haha.

I know college would never be as fun if it weren't for this people. College is hard, but doing it along with this people makes the experience worthwhile. Some of them are graduating this  year, and I would truly miss them. (Hi Shane and Dianne!!) But to those of us who would be continuing it for another year or two, rest assured every moment would be cherished. I love each and one of this guys.

(Okay, being alone at a coffee shop makes me feel sentimental. haha. Sorry about that. But I promise a fashion-related prom post after this.=))

Off The List

I know that this post is almost 3 weeks late, I'm not sure you're even remotely interested in hearing it, or rather, reading it. I'm sorry but a girls got to do what she's got to do, right? Anyways, the story behind the photos in the blog post before this is that I was supposed to look for a prom dress (which I'll be blogging about soon, I hope) but I ended up doing things that helped me cross out pretty much a quarter of my to-do list while still living/ studying here in Iloilo. Case in point:

1.) Take a legit outfit photo in a vintage-looking area

2.) have a photowalk around Iloilo

3.) Discover hidden places

4.) sit at a firetruck's back  haha, just kidding

4.) the best part! Finally, eat at Glor's burger

Glor's burger is this infamous burger place that is hidden in an almost literal hole-in-the-wall place in downtown area Iloilo. I had always wanted to try it but I thought it would be lame to have my first bite of this supposed-to-be awesome burger, alone. So since my bestfriend was with me at that time and we were pretty much starving after all the walking and unplanned sunbathing, we went to this place.The setting of the place is really cool, I felt like I was taken back in time, back when everything was black and white, in televisions I mean. The place was surrounded by signed playbills. I wanted to take home one with me.

I was kind of disappointed with the burger itself because I was thinking of Crave Burger level but that's not the reason why I don't have a photo here, the battery of the camera just died after taking too much outfit photos. I still think I'm gonna give it another try. =)

I'm gonna run this town

It's raining outside while I'm typing this. I'm listening to some random music on my phone while lying on my cozy bed. Nothing much enters my mind that could make this supposedly outfit post seem more interesting than it really is. I have a great story in my mind to tell you about the day these photos were taken, but the cold weather and the school stress seem to be freezing my mind as well, so I can't find the right words to describe them, and I'm terribly sorry about that. Actually I am not,as of the moment that is,maybe later I will be. All I want to do right now is finish this and publish, then just go and snuggle with my not so cuddly pillows and take advantage of the cold weather that is rather unusual in a tropical country like ours. so yeah. Maybe I'll be back later and make a better post and tell you more of that "adventure" that I mentioned.so..okay. bye.. 

oh yeah, did I mention that I changed my blog title? no? so there you go, I did. I'll talk more about that in my next post as well.=)
