Taking a step further with this blog by sharing my life story and how "JUST KEEP DREAMING" began. In the beginning, my 16 years old self enjoyed collecting magazines patronizing just one periodic publication and from there my interest in Fashion developed. It was Candy Magazine that helped me discover more of what I want to accomplish in the future. The magazine featured a lot of articles not only about Fashion but motivating teenagers like me at the time to be fearless and reach for their dreams. At the back portion of the magazine was where they featured bloggers and style icons. I would always go to my browser and look for their blogs and check for new Fashion updates. Seeing and reading how these bloggers enjoyed sharing their love for Fashion made me want to make one for myself. I wanted a platform wherein I can share my journey filled with exploring myself and love for Fashion.

I was determined to create a blog not even considering some factors I should be knowledgeable of. At the time I was the girl who had no idea about how a blog works, no photography skills, was not even good at English words and the list goes on. What I had that time was the guts and perseverance to do something I know I'd be happy about. I did some research, learned how to create a blog and edit photos with the help of Google. My mom then suddenly thought of buying a DSLR camera so I have now crossed that out of the list of my problems. When I first did a blog post I knew my English was not so good and then I fearlessly clicked "publish". I had my sisters as my critics which was good for me because at least I knew where my mistakes was then. It helps to have the people who knows you better than anyone to judge your work, giving you their best and most honest opinion. This blog has been up and running for years now and I haven't regretted owning it. I am still learning and am having fun with how this is turning out for me.

This was rather a HEAVY post but nonetheless it was just fulfilling to post this up here in my blog. There are still a lot to talk about related to a topic such as this. I still have a lot of things in mind to share here. I hope that you guys won't get bored and just only enjoy getting to know me more. 

Hope you like it! God bless!

It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been busy a lot lately especially now that my classes started. I just had the longest and craziest vacation ever. A 4 month vacation filled with ups and downs, fun, adventure, boredom and laziness. Now that I am back to school, I am more than excited to face a new chapter of my life specifically in my preferred career. Junior and Senior year is the highlight of my Fashion education. More hands-on projects will coincide in these years. I cannot wait until my graduation and enter the world of real Fashion.

For the past months, I have come to a realization that my style has outgrown my real age. More people see me as a matured lady with a fine job. Though my age is legal enough to do grown up stuff, I still can't see myself as the person they see me. I may look old but without the virtual world knowing, I can be childish. This is just a thought that has been bugging me for a very long time. To be honest, I do look a bit over my age in these shots. I just can't argue with the fact that people see me as old/matured and that I do love my recent way of dressing.

P.S. Thanks again to my forever wonderful friend who took these photos. I love you PATTY! Oh, and these shots were also taken as a part of our Final project in our Photography class same as here.

Christmas is near and I'm very excited. I have always loved family gatherings and all the food that comes with it. I know I know, I'm beginning to get fat and yet I still think about food. I just find it comforting, eating good food with my whole family. I better prepare myself after Christmas because there is a 99% chance I'll be needing a heavy workout. 

How about you? What are excited about in Christmas? I just LOVE this holiday.

So here's a little Shoe haul that I thought I'd share with you. If you must know I have this oddly craziness/addiction to shoes. I feel like that 70% of this blog started because of my love for shoes.

1. Birkenstock alternative - I have been looking for Birkenstock alternatives for a very long time before I bought these beauties. I just didn't want to buy the original ones because it was way too expensive for a student like me. Nonetheless, it is comfy and it suits my feet perfectly. |PURCHASED IN: The SM Store| 

2. Puma (Black and White) - While I was looking for a Nike Roshe Run in black and white, I came across this gorgeous Puma shoes. It is very comfy that I could like wear it the whole day. It was a birthday gift from my mom(BEST MOM!). |PURCHASED IN: Sports Central|

3. Parisian pointed shoes - I went shopping with my friends to look for some great shoes I could buy as a gift for myself and these is what I've found. I have always been a fan of pointed shoes and these were perfect. I love the gold heels. |PURCHASED IN: The SM Store| 

4. Parisian white shoes - Ever since I saw some bloggers and vloggers wear these two-strapped sandals, I was so sure that I needed to have one. My dad bought it for me for no reason. I just loved it and he purchased it for me(BEST DAD!). |PURCHASED IN: The SM Store| 

All in all, I loved all the shoes. No regrets.

Hope you like it! God bless!
