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! =)

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.

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.=)

Taking Advantage

I have always hated festivals, well not really hated, I just don't like them and don't believe in them (religious reasons) and I try to stir away from them as much as possible. Besides the fact that I don't believe in saints and celebrating anything related to them, I also hate the crowd and the full streets and all that stuff.So this recently ended Dinagyang festival, I most of the time just stayed in my dorm and the only public place I went to besides school was the mall. It's always full, and the crowd there didn't bother me much. I went there because I had to take advantage of the sales. haha. Anyways, here are the stuff that I recently bought:

(sorry for the messy bed,I forgot to crop the photo. teehee.)

Also,exams are coming so I have to get ready for them. Since today is our school's rest day, I again had to take advantage. I went to Starbucks and brought a whole bag loaded of notes to study. I wanted to feel really comfortable today, so I took out my really comfy shorts and plain V neck and sandals and went ahead to study. I added red lipstick to my whole outfit as not to look too plain. Here are some random photos my friend took of me:

Of All Things Random

I am still alive. There is just a thing called school that is taking up 90% of my time.

Okay, I just copied that line from Abby Bayani's blog, which I happened to be reading while thinking of a great line opener for this blog post. The line says exactly the reason why it took me a little more than 8 weeks to make another post in this blog, (well except for the holiday season, which I used as a time to catch up with friends and family). Anyways, my life has been such a whirlwind (yet another line I copied from the song I'm listening while typing this: Can't Fight This Feeling), since school started this year. I am trying hard to catch up with the lessons that I purposely ignored last month. Who can blame me, Christmas spirit was already everywhere, I couldn't get my mind to focus on what my teacher was saying. I was way too excited, I can't think of anything other than Christmas season and all the fun that comes with it, and by fun I mean, food,food and well, food.

Nevertheless, I'm here again to share my non-sense life with you, whoever you are. Here are some low quality photos I took with my phone, just so I could have something to share with you.

Outfit photos and accessories I wore these past few weeks.

Well, that's all for now. I have so much school stuff to do, but hopefully I can do an outfit post very soon.=))

P.S. I am thinking of having a new feature/portion for this blog, something about dorm/college life, just to make this more interesting. Would you like that? or is that a very bad idea? Let me hear your opinion on the comments please? =))

XO,

Mixed And Matched

Okay, let's take a break from Iloilo Designers Week updates for a while, shall we? It's been quite a long time since I last posted an outfit photo, and here's something very recent.

 

I wore this skirt during the first day of IDW, but since I didn't have a photo of it and I really wanted to show you how awesome it is, I wore it again, and paired with a thrifted denim top.

 

I really love this top, it's so versatile. When we went to Bora, I wore this with a denim short and it's so perfect for the beach,and for the Gala Night for IDW (which I'm gonna post real soon), I wore it with a black maxi skirt and heels, and it's perfect for a formal event as such.

Don't I look slim here? hahaha #ilusyonada

HYPE my look here.
