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.=)

A Good Hair Day

Hey you guize! How was your Hearts Day yesterday? I hope it went well coz mine certainly didn't. I spent mine alone, suffering a massive headache and a series of unfortunate events. But don't yah worry about me coz I'm all fine now! Waaay better than yesterday.

Anyways, if you wonder about the title to this post, it's because the day these photos were taken, I was feeling like my hair was in its best state. I know, my best friend always tells me I have nice hair, but I don't know, it doesn't really feel that way most of the time. But that day was an exception, I really felt like my hair was feeling photogenic as I was. haha.So as a result, here is a photodump of photos taken around Plazuela de Iloilo. I can't choose a few  nice ones, so here are a dozen almost repetitive photos of me.=))


Top and Shorts: Thrifted
Flats: Payless
Accessories: S&M

Pops of Colors


You know, at the start of the year, I vowed to become more active in blogging, become more adventurous and more creative. Well, for the sake of me and of course for the sake of making this blog alive. haha. I'm trying to make that happen, one step at a time. In the last post, I had my photos taken in a public area, so the "adventurous" part of the promise is kind of taken care of. In this post, I guess it's a little bit of the "adventurous" and "creative" part. Adventurous and creative at the same time because I've finally wore a bit of make up, the red lipstick! yay me. haha.

Anyways, I've already worn this skirt a lot of times in the past around school, but I never get to blog about it here,I guess. So here I am presenting you my forever favorite skirt along with my new favorite pair of flats. =)

P.S. to my friend/roommate IVANNE, who I am pretty much sure will be reading this, thank you for taking such wonderful photos for my blog. ILY! =))

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:

Denim on Denim

I am very much loving the weather these past few days, aren't you? Perfect time to pretend you're not in a tropical country but somewhere else, some place that has snow and four seasons and not just rain or sun all year round. This is really a perfect time to pull out those long hidden sweaters and coats and boots that if you wore on a normal sunny day would only gain you weird stares from strangers. haha.

Anyways, I'm pretty much still busy with school stuff, exams twice a week, school paper assignments and well, enjoying the weather. I'm at Starbucks right now while writing this, taking a time off studying accounting lessons. While my study buddy is roaming the nearby mall to take a break, I'm here using his laptop while leeching the coffee shop's wifi to blog about my look yesterday.






Would you believe me if I said this denim dress is only Php 50.00? because it really is. I got it from a thrift shop here in Iloilo. And speaking of thrift shops, someone asked me in my tumblr what thrift shops here in Iloilo I could recommend. There are actually a lot of them here, and since I know that most of my readers in this blog are Ilonggos and love thrift shopping, I think it would be better if I make a weekly/twice a week feature of thriftshops I could recommend here in Iloilo and maybe buy some there and show you guys whatever I buy. Let's just see about that. haha.

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.


Iloilo at night// Iloilo Bridge/River
 Iloilo City (view from the port)//Iloilo City Downtown area


Book Latte's Breakfast Meal// Starbuck's Hot Latte and Cinnamon Swirl, 
Home-(dorm?haha)made Ceasar's Salad//Home-made tuna sandwich

Misono's Pork Katsudon,//Comma Cafe's Green tea Latte

Malling time with friends// Love confession for my super crush DAVID GUISON.

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,
Nadin
