I'm gonna save you a lot of time by skipping the whole sorry-for-the-hiatus introduction here, and just greet you a very Merry (advanced) Christmas! I hope you are all in high spirits as I am, and just savor the last few days of the years with the people we love the most. =)

Anyways, I just wanna share this outfit I wore to a debut of a school friend. I really like this outfit so I decided to post it here even if the photos are not that blog-worthy. haha. I just wanna share the fact that I made the skirt I'm wearing here (hence the title) , hand-sewn and all, and so I think it deserve a little attention. haha. I already wore this when Bjorn came here in Iloilo, but I haven't got a decent photo of that outfit, so I'm glad this time I have at least something to show to you.

Lots has been going on in my life these past few days, and I wanna share them all to you, one by one that is, so I hope you watch out for it. That's it for now, cause it's already 2:30 in the morning and I have a 7am class later, and I badly need sleep. good night everyone! =)

Insta-Update

So much has happened this past week I find it hard how to narrate it to you. Too many photos to sort out first, and not to mention upload with a very slow internet connection made slower by the unexpected rain. So for a while let me show you these photos gathered from different Instagram profiles so I can somehow say I've "shared" to you these awesome memories.

As I've mentioned in my last post, Bjorn had included Iloilo in one of his projects called Kalsada Ph. Luckily, I got the opportunity to tour him around the city. It was so much fun seeing him do his thing as well as meeting new people and gaining new friends.

I will try to post more details about it this week, as soon as I get the chance. =)

Rooftop Blues

Ugh. I hate Philippine weather. One day it's raining so hard with gusting wind the next day it's so sweltering hot. So unpredictable. =/

Anyways, as per usual, school has been eating up lots of my time these past few weeks, lots of interbatch/intercollege competitions, and with modeling as highlights, which is where as expected I was assigned, and not to mention exams, loads of them. Late nights at school and at Starbucks,skipping meals, and lack of sleep, all of them had added up and had me ending up with terrible migraines and colds and high fevers. Sometimes I just wanna give up and just go back home to our province and enjoy a stress-free life, but if I do that, all of my hard work, and not to mention my parents', will all just go to waste, and I don't never want that to happen.

Okay, so enough of the drama. Let's replace that instead with dramatic pictures. haha, kidding. I just wanna show you guys my current favorite item of clothing, a sweater, a very comfortable one, that I got from a thrift shop for a very low price. =) I just love it, perfect for rainy weathers. (I just wanna mention too that these pictures were taken way before all the hectic activities at school, thus the smiling and not-so-stressful looking face  haha)

Oh, Did I mention that just turned 21y.o.  last July 25? Start of a new decade of my life. I just hope it will be a fruitful one. =)

After The Rain

It's just the first two days of school and my body is already grunting. Well what did I expect from being an officer for 6 different organizations right? I just wished all these physical exhaustion would burn off some of unwanted fats from my arms. It would definitely make it more desirable to wear sleeveless tops, which I badly need for this very hot and humid weather.

And my hair! oh god my hair. it's making it a whole lot hotter. and it's causing me headaches every time I bun it. It's too long and heavy already. What shall I do? It's even evident on these photos how I can't stand for too long letting my hair down. ugh.

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. =))

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.=)
