I love weekends! and I'm back! After those busy days, I finally got the time to blog. I have so many things in my mind. BUT, first, let me tell ya. Finally, I went ukay-shopping! Though I only bought few clothes cause my money was only limited. haha! Poor me. I went to ukay with Ate pat(my bro's GF). She was is so nice, really! I owe her! And we have this same likes when it comes to ukay. and oh! I love her vintage LV bag which her grandma gave her. Too bad I wasn't able to take a pic of it, but it was so nice! We went to different ukay stores in cubao. Our first stop over is near gateway, and we were lucky they were on sale! 50 each! Any items! I spotted this very vintage polka dot dress! Very fab and vintagey! But I have to have it repaired because it's too long, but it's really nice! I kept on thinking about it while looking at other clothes
and finally bought it!



I'm so so lovin this vintage dress!

BURBERRY! AUTH! FOR ONLY 224.00 pesos!






The brand of the white one is ZARA:)

You know, going to thrift stores makes me happy and overwhelmed seeing those vintage and unique pieces. I'd rather spend my day on thrift and vintage stores than being on malls. Seriously! I hope next week, I'll be able to go on my ukay-hunting again:) I'm planning to learn how to repair clothes:) I mean like to sew, so that I won't be having problems when the clothes I bought is too small or too big, atleast I can repair it myself and I could add embelishments on it. What do you think? :)

A weekend in LUCBAN after exam week.

Maybe if you notice I haven't posted for like a week already. It's because of the prelim exams last week. I had a pretty busy sched. with all the exams,requirements, PLUS the early morning jogging every TTH and sunday.  I'm glad I survive that week. But before the exam week, a friend of mine, already asked me if I want to go with them over the weekend after exams. First I wasn't sure if my mom would let me, but in the end, I was still able to go with them and I was so happy. :) It was quite a long-trip. Like 3-4 hours?Though it depends on the flow of the traffic sometimes,and I hate getting stucked in heavy-traffics, especially when it's raining. Anyway, it was quite rainy that day, and the aircon inside the van was friggin' cold. And during the trip, me and Zarah, almost freaked-out inside the van because of the spider. Haha! That's why we weren't able to even take just a short-nap because of that spider. Then when we arrived in Lucban, I was like " Woo!" It was cold! I tell you, it really is the second little Baguio in the Philippines, I was amazed with the environment there, clean, cool weather, and you could just walk around the entire bayan, dikit-dikit and mga bahay, it may seem small, but be sure not to get lost there because of the many routes, that is
kinda-confusing. We stayed in ychi's house. And I finally met her twin sister! They looked so cute together, they look almost exactly like each other and the confusing-but-cute part is they also have the same voice! Haha! How I wish I also had a twin. :) On the night that we arrived we stayed in her aunt's house first, I wasn't able to take a picture of it because my camera has still no battery that night, but when I entered that small-house, I was surprisingly amazed! it was a small house if you look outside, but inside it was spacious and big!I love how they designed the interiors, from the tiles' to the the furniture's. Also, I love how the interior's look old but vintage, because of the antiques they have inside. They didn't hire any professional interior designer, but their a family that is attached to art and good in designing that's why the interior of the house looked that AWESOME. I told Ychi's mom that I want to have the same apartment as her aunt's house. And truly, I really want the same interiors for my own apartment! weee! Another thing, I love the famous pansit Lucban, I'd really love to eat that one again! Haha! 

We spent sabbath inside their house(sorry Jesus), and Sunday, we went to the famous Grotto in Lucban. The view was fascinating! But first, to see the fascinating view above, you have to go through the stairs all the way up to the statue of Jesus Christ above, and I say above the 200 plus steps of stairs! Haha! I also saw the Mount. Banahaw, it was beautiful. I wish I could look more closer to it, maybe next time:) On that day, I wore leggings! Yey! I rarely wear leggings cause of the hot weather here in the Philippines, but since it was cold there in Lucban even in daytime, I decided to wear leggings:) I love cold-weather outfits, leggings, scarves, knitted cardigans, jacket, gloves, beanies, and the FAB part, ze BOOTS! I love boots especially the one with ze Furrr! Too bad I wasn't able to bring my boots that time, but atleast I bought my lucky-red doll shoes, my ultimate FAVE! It looks adorable with my grey-hue outfit:3 NOTE TO SELF: always bright neutral hue shirts, either oversized/vintage tee/v neck/ they match with ANYTHING! and shoes please!I prefer shoes than sandals, I don't feel comfortable on sandals at all:( One thing most important to me is wherever I go, I always make sure I bring a bag to put my stuffs on, wallet, ballpen, phone, etc. I would not go out w/out a bag, I always bring stuff with me. 
It was hell tiring but we had super fun that day which I literally miss today. I promise to myself I will return to Lucban!

NEON FEVER!

Remember my last post about about the NEON theme on our acquaintance party? Well, I "almost" found the perfect outfit, but because we were in the rush I wasn't able to wear it. Instead, I wore a different outfit, rompers with splattered-colors print, my favorite vintage blazer, satchel bag and my "people are people" sandals.
Sorry for the low-quality pictures. I didn't have time to take a formal picture.

2nd yr Fine Arts, kulang kami.
The party was.. uh. bit FUN. First, I was elected as the official secretary of the F.A OFFICERS. I wasn't totally expecting that, even if I protest I can't do anything about it. Hahah. And there were few games,it was fun anyhow. I guess everyone enjoyed the parlor-games, the FOOD? hmm. it was O-KAY. LOL. Atleast we got to eat something right? HaHa. Though there was someone I was expecting there, but did not attend, well, it's alright there are other events that I know I can see that "someone". Hahah! By the way, the day of the party was also the same day to Ate KC's birthday! 



BTW, MEET MY ROOMMATES! :)
me, ABBY.
ABBY,me,CHIN.
Don't we look adorable?:)

Maybe if I find some time I'll post my outfit picture here:)

Going NEON!

so that's the theme for our acquaintance party this first semester. And I have no idea what to wear! Seriously, If you check my closet, my clothes are not that colorful. I mostly prefer neutral hues on my clothes, if not neutral, I prefer warm colors like- red, brownish-orange, blue, bit darker of red-violet, bit dark of bluish-green-- colors like that b'coz they are easy to pair with and I like how those colors match with everything I wear, and also to my body and skin color, just perfect! But speaking of NEON colors,  I don't have much idea or knowledge about what to wear or pair with NEON colored clothes, but I like NEON colors, thought the color is too bright it gives a happy aura/feeling. or like you feel good about yourself when you wear NEON colored-clothes, also I feel hyper when I see those NEON colors. haha. I don't know why, but that's just how it is:)
I found these pictures in lookbook, I was looking for any inspiration on NEON colored outfits, and these pictures are absolutely fab! :D
I want to do these make up!

ArtPetron: Lakbay Pinoy -- To join or not?

To join or not? Lakbay Pinoy is the theme for the Vision Petron contest this year. And yesterday, the Vision Petron group came to our school and launched this. I got lucky for attending the launching, I got a souvenier! Haha! At first, I wasn't really intending to join, but yesterday after the launching, it kept on going over and over in my head wether to join or not. But there's a part of me, deep inside me that I want to join. But the other part of me says I shouldn't, because in my head, I'm thinking,maybe my entree will not be as good as the others, my works won't be appreciated or noticed, or I simply just can't do it.
I always wanted to join Art contests, I always look up to those students in AUP that joins this contest, and they get fortunate that they even got a price! I'm already in my second year college and I still have not experienced this kind of things, and if you look back, when I was in my freshmen year, I told myself I would join when I turn second year, but there's something hindering me, I'm thinking I lack the skill to join this contest. So you might think that I'm such a pessimistic person, but I'm trying to change that attitude of mine. Honestly, I still can't decide. I still have no idea what category should I join, if in painting, I still have no idea what to paint. I hope God will help me and give me ideas, I will update you on monday! ciao!
