Boy in Me

It's been really really hard for me to post regularly and it actually pisses me off. But I've been really busy and I can't find much time to blog and yes, I am a very bad blogger... sad :(

But still, I promise to blog in every free time that I have and I hope all of you, my dear readers, will still be there to support me and follow my posts. I'd be very grateful if you do! :)

So here's another look that I feel so comfortable with. As a kid, I really loved to wear closed shoes, especially rubber and boots. I have always felt comfortable wearing them. It's like I didn't always have to worry about acting so girly all the time and I could run around if I wanted to. Well, I was such a boyish kid. And up till now, I still have that little boy inside me. I'm not a skirt person as you see. I really love pairs of shorts and leggings since they make me feel so free to move, don't you agree?

The denim shirt and the vintage-printed inner made me feel more comfortable. They're so me.

So how about you? Were you boyish as a kid and are you still like that till now? Does that reflect through the clothes you wear? Tell me and post a comment below! :)

Get Loose

Been really busy and I hardly find free time to blog so now that I have a few minutes, I'm taking this opportunity to post!

It's been really a hot summer and I can't stand the high temperature. Loose clothes greatly help beat the heat! Gotta stay fashionable and comfortable still.

Make up like a PRO: A Summer Beauty Workshop by Micah Zurita

 Before I start with this post, I would first like to apologize for being absent for a LONG time. I've been really busy with work lately. I didn't really have the time to blog anymore despite my hunger for it. But now that I already have enough time to blog (I believe so), I guess I could regularly update again. So, I hope you're still there to support me, my lovely readers!

Okay, so on with this post.

I have been doing hair and make up for a number of clients. I've been doing this for a while now. I always tell others that I never had the chance to take up my oh-so-ever-longed-for course which is Architecture, so instead on drawing on paper, I made the human face a canvas instead. It has been really fun doing make up. But I still know that I have a lot of room for improvement, so I decided to come to a beauty workshop last Friday, March 22, to learn more about it.

The event was called, "Makeup Like a Pro, A Summer Beauty Workshop by Micah Zurita"

That day, we were taught to do everyday makeup, which I don't normally do to myself since I never thought that brown shades would look good on me. I was so happy to know about the topic plus the model didn't have chinita or chinese eyes. I was so used to my singkit or small eyes, hence I was really glad to see how to put makeup on another eye shape. I really learned a lot that day, especially on learning how to put super light but pretty everyday makeup coz I am really used to doing the night makeup. I really look forward to attending more workshops by Ms. Micah Zurita and I really recommend every girl in town to attend her upcoming workshops. It was so easy to learn because she does everything step by step and she even came up with a little set up for each one of us so that we can also apply what she taught us during the workshop! Being hands on was the best.

Dinner is served! Gotta pay attention to our stomachs after 5hrs of makeup workshop! yum!

Thank you so much, Micah, for a really fun experience of learning basic makeup. I really learned a lot.

Maybe soon, I'll do a vlog on different makeup looks that I do for my clients, and looks that people request me to do. What do you think? :)

Ever had a point in your life where you wished you were a kid again? I've had those times recently. It felt so good to be that little thing, wanting so much in life, thinking about absolutely zero problems. Everything just felt so light and easy. If there's ever a part in your life where happiness is real and pure, I guess that would be your childhood days, don't you agree?

I bet you dreamed a lot as a kid. I know I did. Unfortunately, I didn't follow my dreams (which I super regret). There was too much pressure and influence around me that made me go the other way. Of course, I also had my share of wrong decisions, letting external factors affect me so easily, hence the regrets. But now that I finally had the chance of changing my life's direction, I decided to grab it. Well, I had second thoughts at first since I was used to doing things that would make other people proud, but then I thought, I should make myself proud first, right? So there's this plan that I will be accomplishing soon. I will be sharing about it to you guys once everything's already set. :) Wish me luck!

You will never find happiness and contentment by proving your worth to other people before making yourself happy first.

Something I learned in my life. Hope it would help you too :)

Have a great day guys!

P.S. I had this idea of a post because while I did my outfit shots, I really had fun. I felt so free and I played like I was a kid again, dreaming of how beautiful my life could be as I become a full grown adult.

Forever 21: THE GRAND OPENING!

September 27, 2012, Thursday -- SM Lanang Premier Davao City opened to VIP's and tenants. Not all shops were open but those that opened catered people who were invited to join them on their opening events. One event that I attended to was the Forever 21's Fashion show and ribbon cutting event. It was such a great experience for a lot of people, especially to those who are fashion-hungry! There were around a hundred people invited and everyone really dressed up for the cocktail event.

I had such a hard time looking for something to wear at the Forever 21 Event at SM Premier Davao City today! I didn't actually plan on going since I was too busy that I forgot about it and just remembered about the event this morning, so I wasn't able to find ways to get invitations or passes. But then a friend of mine, an F21 Card holder, received an invitation but didn't want to go coz she didn't have anyone to drag to the event. I sent her an SMS about the event and I was actually pretty lucky since she invited me to go. SUPER HAPPY!

I recently got these neon spikes bracelets at a department store recently and I am sooooo itching to wear them so I thought of an outfit that would match them. I also tried to think of wearing something fashionable since this is not just a simple event. It's FOREVER 21! So I chose to wear my F21 top and paired it with a blazer. It kinda looked plain when I looked at myself in the mirror so I added this sequined shorts to the look. I figured that a lot of people would wear heels. I wanted to wear heels, but I was too lazy to walk in them today, and I wanted the comfort of my Solemate flats. I really felt comfy with my outfit today plus there's that taste of sexiness because of my shorts. I felt fashionable and free while walking through the halls of the newest mall in Davao City!

Sexy and Free - the title of this post that I thought of exactly because of the feeling that I have with my outfit. Do you feel it too? :)
