BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT: THRIFTED | SHOES: SM PARISIAN | TOTE BAG: FOREVER 21
I finally got around to blogging again. After a long hiatus, which I know is now normal here in my blog, I get to post some of which was taken last year or 2 to 3 months ago. Here are a bunch taken in January. I have been loving that "film camera" feel to photos for quite some time now and you might see them in the next few posts.
Hope you like it! God bless!

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!

For years now, many haven't understood the real story why this virtual space of mine is up and running, maybe because I haven't formally explained it yet. I am sorry because I thought I was already giving the people the impression as to why I own a blog.
Starting now, from every post I publish, I will be slowly sharing my reasons with its backstories for everyone to comprehend how much this blog means to me.
This is a very big step for me but I know that along the way all my fears and scares will pave away. This little space where I share my interest won't only be about Fashion but many things more.
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!

Photos taken by Jacquelene Foja
My fourth day in Japan was spent in Gumma. A place where silk is produced. It was an educational filled ride from Tokyo to Gumma. The 2 to 3 hours drive to there was all worth it. Sadly, my camera memory got full and I had to deal with the fact that half of my vlog and blog photos will come from an Ipod. Nonetheless, it was great exploring places out of Tokyo. Still, every place in Japan is picturesque. One thing I love about the country is that you can freely ride your bike to places without it getting taken. Japan is one of the safest places I have been to.
Expect the coming photos and vlog to have incohesive quality and edits.
Hope you like it! God bless!
