my wonderwall

this woman had me when she was very young and i am so amazed of how she stood strong and independent despite getting married and having a child at a very young age. she taught me everything i needed to know. she's a really tough woman. she has put up a lot with me which i am very thankful. i am who i am now because of her. she's inspired me to be better even do the things her way. i may sometimes doubt what she says but at the end of the day, mothers always know what 's best for her children, proven and tested a million times. you've said a lot of empty threats at me when you disapprove of what i do and that's because you love me. she's my best critic. my confidante. my bestfriend (or frie-n-emy). my wonderwall. MY MOTHER. i love you beyond words and more than you can imagine. i may disagree with you most of the time but know always that you are understood and i take your words by heart. mom, you may not be reading this now but i'm gonna make you proud and i'll try to give back all the love you've shown me.

double collar

last sunday, le fam bam decided that we should drive down north. i was glad with that idea because i love roadtrips especially when we're heading north. and here's my look:

i wore something casual and church-appropriate. hence, the green collared top. you can play around with this casual and simple look by accessorizing. with my look, i wore collar-necklace and turquoise ring to match my turquoise flats. i also tried to fold my jeans so as to keep my look less formal.

 also , meet my part time photographer and full time sister! :))

yesterday night after spending time with le fam, i also went to my friend's birthday party. anyway, photos will  be uploaded on my next post.

 so that wraps up my sunday. how about you? how did you spend you sunday?

one tuesday

well as expected today is just another tuesday except that bouquet of flowers are all over like wherever you go or is it vday as they call it, yeah? as we speak its an hour past vday. so what was i doing the entire day? no fancy dinner date nor chocolates or flowers, of course! haha but this is prolly the most productive hearts day ever. this morning i was able to join a dental mission at a public elementary school (to clear some of my absences :p), went to school and ran some errands, dinner date with le fam bam, met up with adele at coffee cat and was able to write some readings for my requirements (and by some i mean 2 pages, but still!), so yeah that's probably it! 

of course no diet for me. didn't just eat that. had dinner at a buffet restaurant so no reason to stick to my diet. while waiting for my parents, i thought i might try their carbonara and the rest, i can't show you. was pigging out so whatever i ate requires another entry.

sheer button down shirt: Oxygen | necklace: Accessorize | denim shorts: thrifted |shoes: Primadonna

yeah imagine how gross my shoes were. we're experiencing a bipolar weather here lately; its hot one minute and then the next it rains just like today. and from where i parked the car, well the picture above speaks for itself.

okay for the record lemme just say, HAPPY HEARTS DAY! :))

the fall of eve

dress: F21 | sneakers: sister's | accessories: F21

first of all my title post is so irrelevant, i don't know where it came from, on a second thought, i think i do. i've read that line somewhere in a local magazine and i have no idea what to name this post so might as well be: fall of eve. haha okay, enough!

second, i'm not really the dress type of girl. i bought this dress because i was supposed to attend a christening yesterday morning but because i woke up late so i didn't make it. really sorry for my absence.  anyway, still wore it yesterday and paired with some kicks. i was not in the mood to wear some heels that's why i came up with a pair of sneakers.

and oh tomorrow's feb 14/v-day! what are you guys up to? movie, dinner date, yeah? whether your taken or taken for granted (like me) and whatever your plans are for tomorrow i hope you guys will have fun. and oh lastly, don't forget to look your best!! :)

lots of love, 

aiken
