Beware because I stare.

Hello 2013 and Tumblr! I’ve missed you a lot. I wanted to apologize for not posting for the past few months… I’ve been very busy with school. Hopefully this year I can focus on my blog more, since I’ll be graduating soon! :)

I lost my iPhone 3GS last September that’s why I told myself that I will save until I can buy the iPhone 5 and before 2012 ended, I did it! I persuaded my Mom to get one for me even though my money was not yet ready lol. We’ve made a deal that my daily allowance will be reduced instead (hello broke Tom haha). I fell in love with it as soon as I touched it, oh and I chose the black one because, for me, it’s more sexier than the white. I’ve wanted an iPhone 4 or 4S, before, because of their quirky cases and now that there are a lot of them available for the 5th one I told myself that I must hoard and collect! Say hello to my very first which came from the online shop that I absolutely love, Butingtings! As the owner and my online friend, Jeka (we were dying to meet soon), posted on the shop’s facebook page I filled up an order form right away and got it as scheduled! I am obsessed with New York, the Stars and Stripes, and anything related to the USA! So I am really glad that I have this one. It’s both a statement maker and a head turner! :)

SLYTHERIN

Here’s what I wore when I attended Bloggers United 4. Decided to wear something simple and black since I’m getting fat again lol just kidding. I wanted to show my inner Potterhead that’s why I’m wearing a SLYTHERIN shirt. Teehee. I paired it with a brown pants because they come together very well and my SM Accessories messenger bag for my camera. :)

What I’m Wearing: Cardigan (Topman), Harry Potter Shirt (SM Department Stores), Pants (Bench), Messenger Bag (SM Accessories), Boots (Dr. Martens)

I just love accessorizing! Got my spikes ring from a thrift shop here in Manila and my bird ring from my love, Butingtings! :) I feel like even though your wearing something laid back and simple, you can always spice it up by wearing cool and dapper accessories!

And yay! I finally had the chance to wear my boots. I might need to work on my confidence more because wearing something like these will definitely lead to different reactions. I just think to myself that no matter what people think about how we look, as long as you’re having a great time. Don’t give a sh*t about them. Smile and be who you are! :D

Bloggers United 4


Last Saturday, December 15, my friend Michelle and I went to the most fashionable bazaar! It’s where bloggers from all over the Philippines (and sometimes, the world) gather in an event full of fun, fashion, and clothes! Mitch and I came early but the booths of the bloggers were already jam-packed! We had a hard time at first because, since it was our first time, we’re too shy but we found our way lol.

I love the tickets and the cute stamp! :)

Pictures with THE bloggers! Yay! Sadly, we weren’t able to meet Laureen Uy, Kryz Uy, and Camille Co because we went home early but my friend still bought something on their booths.

We got tired early that’s why we went to Mall Of Asia to rest for awhile but before riding the cab, We just had to take pictures! Hihihi

BU4 was such an amazing experience! I solemnly swear to be financially and fashionably ready for next time lol! I am hoping that it will be before Summer next year. :)

Kylie Jenner and Rob Kardashian for Human PFW

Last October 27 was the show of Human for the Philippine Fashion Week S/S’13 and they’re trying to show us their “genes” by bringing two of the most in-demand reality TV stars. Kylie Jenner and Rob Kardashian from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians!” Human had its promo for free invites but unfortunately I wasn’t able to avail one. Luckily, they chose the SM Mall of Asia Main Atrium as their venue so that everyone can watch it! I just needed to be early and I absolutely did! I even watched the rehearsals hahaha. 

This guy’s style is definitely preppy!

The crowd was just amazing! I personally love this shot of mine :”>

Aren’t these hats so cool? :)

Skinny jeans for girls and multi-colored pants for guys are still trendy for next year’s summer! Can’t wait!

Pauline Prieto. My model crush. Teehee :”>

And the crowd went WILD when Kylie Jenner went out of the runway and showed her hotness!

Rob Kardashian kinda looked like Raymond Gutierrez for me. :))

I swear, I almost got teary-eyed at some point because I didn’t expect to see them this early. FYI, Keeping Up With the Kardashians is my number one guilty pleasure! I’m honestly planning of going to California just to meet all of them. Hahaha

I tweeted that if only we can steal height, I definitely would! Plus these polos and shirts are just so my style! I want them all!!!

It was definitely an awesome and unforgettable show! Kudos to Human and Thank You so much for making one of my dreams come true! Meet the Kardashian-Jenners… Partially checked! :D

I finally have a pair!

I’ve been obsessed with Dr. Martens since I saw Saab Magalona wearing them on her blog posts. Then I started looking for male fashion bloggers who wear them and if they look awesome too. David Guison, Miko Carreon and many more totally rocked these boots and that’s how I started fantasizing of having a pair since I am in no condition of buying lol.

*photos from their blog/lookbook*

As soon as my aunt from Los Angeles told me what I want for Christmas. I never hesitated and told her that I want a pair of the classic 1460 boot, black! Hahaha. I wrote it on a piece of paper and let my grandma who went there to give it to her. My aunt took quite a long time before she told me that she can buy one for me. I was being hopeless to be honest but as soon as she posted the picture on my facebook wall. My heart literally skipped a beat and I got really happy!!! Yesterday, we fetched my Grandma at the airport and as soon as we got home, she gave them to me! I was in awe when I saw them and immediately shouted thank you to my aunt thru skype.

I can’t wait to use them but I was quite worried that using this kind of shoes is really a big step for me since this will be my first time. I hope I can get good reactions lol. :))

Batangas Weekend

Photo dump of our family outing, once again, on Batangas for my niece’s birthday celebration! Too bad this will be the last time for this month. I hope we can manage to go somewhere next month cause Travelling is just fun!

Makiling Highlands

Last August 25th and 26th, my family and I went on an outing for my niece’s birthday celebration. It was held on Makiling Highlands Resort in Laguna. And here are some of the pictures I took during our trip.

My not-so-nice slide shot lol

We had a great time! Our laughter brought so much joy and life during those days. We even dominated one of the pool because of how large our family is and some of the swimmers had to transfer to other areas hahaha. And two weeks after this trip, we went on another trip again! (Which I’ll blog about later). I think this can be called my Summer Vacay since I attended summer classes last March up to May. :)

Hodge Podge Keychains

So as I was reading the blog of my friend, Jeka, I saw that she featured this online shop called the Hodge Podge. As soon as I’ve clicked the link and saw its facebook page, I was in awe and wanted to order ASAP. Their designs are so amazing I can’t decide what to pick BUT when I read that you can actually send the design/s of your choice and they can customize it for FREE! I know, how cool, right?!

I am obsessed with stars and stripes designs as of the moment, and the Deathly Hallows sign just proves how Potterhead I am lol!

Another thing, you can actually pick a color of the back of the cap!!! As for the transaction, well, I couldn’t say more! The shipping, price, and everything are just so awesome I can’t wait for my next order (as soon as I’m broke no more hahaha)! This was not the first time that I’ve been hooked with online shopping, this was the second specifically. Jeka owned an online shop too and it’s called Butingtings which also sells a lot of cool stuff, I am certain of that go check it out if you want iPhone cases, rings, different kinds of accessories!

But this was the first time that I’ve tried the shipping thing. At first I was worried, even though I’m just here in Manila, but I got no reason to worry because after 2 days I got my keychains!!!

Here are some of the designs which Hodge Podge already has but as what I’ve said earlier, you can always contact them if you want your own design. The price is really reasonable! I got my keychains for 100 bucks each and the shipping fee is 50 pesos if you’re around Manila. What are you waiting for guys? Happy shopping!!! :)
