That Girl In Black

Here's what I wore to a very busy day I just had! Together with Lissa and David, we went from one event to the other. We went to a total of three in a matter of hours and I was so tired :( Too tired that I actually gave in to Mcdonalds... oh no :( Anyway, I wanted to wear something that could take me for an event that would require me to wear something casual then to something a bit more formal. Here's what I came up with! :) 

LOL look at my leg! haha 

Yup, wearing that top again! Its just too pretty not to wear again! :(

Inspiration

With summer here and no school to keep my mind preoccupied, I've been thinking about the most random things and since this blog of mine has always been an outlet, let me share with you a random inspiration. I saw the movie Marie Antoinette by Sofia Capoola about 4-5 years ago and have been hooked on her ever since. I've actually seen the movie about 40 times (saw it for the nth time today!)- no exaggerating. haha! She's been my source my of inspiration- not just with fashion but even with my way of thinking and choices. From the prints I wear (pastels and florals!), to my room (ask my mom, I wanted a room full of prints - just like Marie Antoinette's! but the mother of house didn't permit it :( haha) , to even how I see myself in the future (this is funny and kind of weird considering she was guillotined for being too glamourous).  

I'm in the mood to wear something inspired by her soon...I need more floral skirts :P But you, I wanna know the icon who serves as your inspiration :) Comment below? Goodnighty :)

P.S. If you havent seen the movie, WATCH IT! Download the whole soundtrack too ;)

I'll Bring You Flowers

"I'll bring you flowers... in the pouring rain. Living without you is driving me insannnneeee!" Does anyone remember that song? HAHA! It's very 90s, if I'm not mistaken! :P I remember back when my sister was in kinder and this boy left a message singing that line to her in our answering machine! LOL how cute right? :P Anyway, I decided to wear an overload of floral today.. it explains how cherry and "bloomy" I've been feeling lately :) I am truly blessed, happy and contented right now that I'm really crossing my fingers and toes that nothing goes wrong. Cross your fingers with me? :P 

my right foot's half an inch bigger that the shoe on my left foot always ends up looking like this :| haha

Thank you to Kelly Medina for taking these photos :) 

I just came from a movie date with Dondi! We watched Dark Shadows and it was one hell of a weird movie!! I love all the characters and how the actors and actresses played their parts but it had one WEIRD story plot... and very shallow :( It had that whole "if I cant have you, noone can" type and I hope noone I know loves like that! If a guy doesnt want you, let him go because 5 others are waiting ;) Remember that! haha Okay, I've been very talkative already :P Hope you had a great Wednesday!

Hello Orange!

Say hello to my very orange outfit! haha I wore this to a lunch out with my grandparents as a late mothers day celebration then my mom, sister and I sourced for the online shop my sister and I will be opening soon :) We'll be debuting it during the Supersale Bazaar happening next week! :) Anyway, I don't know what drew me to this very orange outfit... it must be the skirt and bag. I've been itching to show you guys these two items since I got them last week :) Aren't they pretty? 

wore a dark belt to break the orangeness of the outfit

A Next Time?

I'm sure you've heard about the Paolo Mallari incident from someone or the most, twitter since he was trending about two days ago. To all honestly, I was hesitating to write a blog post or even just a tweet or a facebook post about it considering that I've only said a few sentences to him and I only see him since he's the boyfriend of a kabarkada. But then again, I thought about it and that should be a reason alone for me to make one. I see him often, mostly in school since I spend some of my breaks with his girlfriend, Sasa and the occasional birthday parties of common friends. I think I've seen him more than some of the people I call close friends and yet I didn't even bother to say more than the usual "how are you?" or "whats new?" or "where's sasa?" 

Thats what broke my heart the most when I visited the wake last night. Seeing him there wherein he seems like he was just sleeping, made me recall all the conversations we've had and I want to slap my face thinking WHY WHY didn't I bother? I've always thought that because he's Sasa's boyfriend, he'll just forever be there since it seems like they're the type of bf-gf wherein they'll get married, have babies and still be together till they're 90 years old. So everytime I have the opportunity to talk to him, I wont bother since I'll have next time. and now there isn't. 

It sucks that we need a tragedy to happen to realize these things. Even for friends to get together. I saw faces last night that I haven't seen in forever. Gave hugs to people I haven't seen in forever. We make all of these opportunities pass since we think that we always have a NEXT TIME. What if there isn't? What if God only planned for us to enjoy the world for 20 or 21 or 22 years? Even to the youngins who are reading this blog post, what if God only planned 15 years for you to show people you love you love and care for them? 

A passing of someone is always a wake up call for us to cherish the moments we have with people we love. That everyday, every hour and every minute is a chance for us to live life to fullest, achieve our dreams and most importantly to fulfill God's purpose for us here on earth - and I've always been reminded that at the end of the day, it is if we've shown the people who were assigned by God to love us and care for us, to return all of these and even alot more. It sucks that someone has to pass away but I guess, its all part of it. 

RIP Pao. I don't know if you read my blog when you were still here on earth but I guess you can just hear everyone's thoughts about you there in heaven. You are loved and you will definitely be missed. Please take care of Sasa, watch over her and help her. We'll do what we can here.
