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!

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!

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!

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!
