I can now finally declare that another term has ended and I am now currently on a week long vacation(not really, it's just 5 days). Too much school work has got into me that I desperately and deservingly need a break. For me, a break means catching up to television series, do photo shoots and blog posts; and SLEEP, things that I am not able to do while on school.
There is nothing wrong with taking a little break. WE NEED IT!. No one can endure to much work most especially in my college which has a fast-paced curriculum. I'm not ranting because I'm actually enjoying every bit of it. I just can't ignore the times where stress is present in every subject.
More posts is underway, hoping that you'd find them interesting and inspiring. Also, there will be times wherein this blog cannot be visited. Some changes will be made most especially now that I am on my term break.
Hope you like it! God bless!

For a person who is not a fan of the sun and the heat, I never expected to enjoy a little trip down to an in-town beach with my family. It is always the best when you are with good company. No matter how short or long I spend time with my loved ones it is still the best when I am with them.
This summer, I was hoping for more road trip fun with my family but since there was a transition with the school year there is a probability that I would miss all of those. But then, I'm still hoping even just for a day.
Hope you like it! God bless!

Watching 40's to 80's inspired films lately have got me wanting to experience those decades. That nostalgic feeling is making me wish that I was born from those years. Despite the unlikely wars, I am still persistent about the idea of going back in time to have a little taste of the good old's lifestyle. Other than the lifestyle, I am also much in love with their Fashion. It was within those years that I am so inspired of in terms of Fashion. People looked clean and well polished. Everyone looked elegant, either men or women.
These are the types of style I wanted to bring back to the industry of Fashion soon. In the future, when I become a Fashion Designer, as I hope I would be, I'd like to put on that skin of confidence to everyone wearing my pieces. Also, considering our country's current state of climate, I want to be able to bring comfort, quality and practicality back. So many brands offer impractical products not suitable for the Philippine weather. I don't hate them, I'm just sharing my thoughts and opinion.
As far as I would remember, this would be the first time I shared the type of designer I want to be here in my blog. I don't know, it may seem random but I'm feeling inspired lately.
Hope you like it! God bless!

This marks my first ever post for 2016. 2015 has been great but I'm looking forward to what 2016 will bring to me.
Spent the New Year's Eve in a not far away beach. It's so good to have an in town beach place where me and my family can just all chill before the countdown to a new year. I myself am not a believer of resolutions but there are some life-thrilling things I'd like to do in my life that I'll be sharing in my upcoming blogposts. For now, let's all just be positive and be excited for what the new year has to bring.
Hope you like it! God bless!

Before 2015 ends, I'd like to put up one last blog post. I'm down to my last outfit in Japan. My 3rd and 4th outfit was very unplanned. I was supposed to wear white jeans on my last day but instead took the risk to wear this skirt without tights to keep my legs warm. Slept late the night before to go shopping and strategizing how to fit all the things I shopped plus my clothes in my luggage. Clearly, shopping for pasalubong was unexpectedly hard. I even wanted to buy more. Shoes were cheaper there than here in the Philippines. I managed to fit 2 shoes I bought in Japan plus the shoes I brought with me.
Here are unedited photos to show how perfect the lighting is in Japan. I just noticed how so many people went to Japan this year. Even known celebrities took the chance to see the beauty of the country.
Hope you like it! God bless!

1st semester for the year is over. I am now free to get back to my Japan trip posts. I apologize if I kept you hanging. I'm still recovering from 3 weeks of stress and sleepless nights which gave me cold and cough(I'm serious).
Forgetting Japan wasn't so easy for me. I am still not over with the country's beauty, orderliness and fashion. Everytime I look into my Ipod and Camera, I always browse through the photos I took in Japan. Remembering how hard it was for me to capture good photos with two gadgets while following a certain time. I had to hold my Ipod on one hand and the Camera on the other. The struggles of a blogger trying to document special moments to create great content.
If you've noticed, I'm not posting photos of the places I went to in Japan. I won't be posting any(maybe in the future) because I filmed a travel video and I haven't started editing it yet. I promise I'll start soon and I'll most probably upload it after all my outfit posts.

Hope you like it! God bless!

Questions like "Why are you in Japan?" "What are you doing in Japan?" and "How many days will you be staying in Japan?" are some that have recently flooded my Facebook notifications and messages; and my Instagram Account. I was too lazy to answer them one by one so I thought of answering all of them in one blogpost.
Before I answer the questions, here is the first outfit I wore in Japan. Since it was my second time to experience fall/winter it's only right for me to say that I need to document it. Layering pieces of clothing is something I don't normally do here in the Philippines(Yes, I am back in the Philippines) and it is something I would love to try for such a long time now. The Japan trip was the perfect place and weather to do it.
Question 1: Why are you in Japan?
Answer 1: I went to Japan because our school organized an exposure trip for all Junior and Senior Fashion Design students.
Question 2: What are you doing in Japan?
Answer 2: We had a tour on some of the most iconic places there for us to take inspiration of. Also, we went to a Fashion School and their Museum(This will be explained further on a different post).
Question 3: How many days will you be staying Japan?
Answer 3: I stayed there for 5 days and 4 nights.
Question 4: Who were you with in Japan and how many were you?
Answer 4: I was with my classmates, some Seniors and 5 faculty from the Fashion department. We were all in all 80 who joined the trip.
Question 5: Is it fall/winter in Japan?
Answer: Yes, it actually is. It was the beginning of fall but it was really cold.
This is probably the longest post I have ever done. I only answered 5 because some questions were already related to this bunch. I hope I was able to feed your curious minds with answers. I am currently missing Japan. I am even thinking about everything that happened there while I am writing this post.
I hope you like it! God bless!
