something new for the holidays

in

last weekend we received a package from my aunt and uncle. i was so ecstatic when i found out i'll be receiving a new set of make-up and i was even happier when i saw how cute the bag was, it was in an animal print. not only that, when my cousin and i opened the box, we found more animal printed bags in different sizes and wallets as well. haha never thought my aunt's so in love with animal prints. thank you guys though for the early holiday presents you sent us! :D

this is my new favorite lip shade: scarlet red and off beat pink from ever bilena. wow! they're the cheapest matte lipstick i bought.

this new pair of wedge was given to me by my mom a month ago after we found out our trip was cancelled. and oh they're the comfiest pair of shoes i owned so far :D

i think that's all for now. i'm excited for the christmas break to come. 

gifts. food. pictures. family. 

aren't you excited?

today my life begins

like what i said in my previous post, school has been eating most of my time, i don't even think i still have a leisure time. i swear if i get through all these things i would definitely give myself a reward. anyway, above is a new local TVC of Globe and i just love how inspiring the tv ad is. it feels so carefree. for the past few days, i've been searching endlessly for inspirations 'cause i've been really stressed out until i remembered this tvc. my friends and i were actually talking 'bout this a few days ago so here it is. i hope this would motivate you as well! haha :D

young, wild and free

this is a very late post. all these photos were taken two saturdays ago and i just did not have enough time to post them because i've been really busy with a lot of stuff. school's been keeping me busy like hell (what's new, right?) especially that i'm down to the last 4 freakin' months in school. YAY!

well anyway, i went to this pre-Halloween party last October 30 at my friend's restaurant (click the link to navigate to their fb page). actually i wasn't sure i was going to this party because i thought i was going out of town with my family on that date but unfortunately all the tickets were sold out, so instead i went to this studio to have my pre-graduation picture taken with my friends (BTS shots will be posted soon). after which, we parted ways and i had lunch with my mom but then my friends called me telling me we were going to a friend's party. and to cut the long story short we did went to this Halloween party.

enough with the rants, here are the photos. 

i din't had a chance to have a decent photo of what i wore that night but this will do. haha took this while the dance floor was still empty.

part of me

okay, so this is a part of me, like really the private one that i'm about to share to you guys, my sketches. haha they're not beautiful, really 'cause i'm not a good artist, and one of the reason why i don't show these to anyone, only my close friends. most of these things are inspired from what i saw in fashion magazines and my favorite celebrities. so if you think those looked familiar to you, you've probably seen them in magazines. but anyway here they are. tell me what you think about them.

blame it on the traffic

 there's no outfit post for today. actually these are just random shots i took (i used an itouch, so i guess that explains the poor quality of the photos) at a middle of a heavy afternoon traffic while i was driving my way home.  i was being resourceful i guess to snap some photos at a middle of a traffic. haha you can't blame me though 'cause i was all alone in the car with only the stereo on. if you were me, what would you do?

my L-O-V-E ring :)

yes, imagine how tired i was driving around the city with a heavy traffic. good thing i was very productive and resourceful! haha :D

well anyway, i've been feeling so tense for quite awhile already because of our thesis and right now my anxiety  has doubled or is 10x more because this thursday is our judgment day or our oral defense. i hope we'll pass this one (*fingers crossed). pray for us guys :)
