STYLE | Gloomy Weather

There are days when the weather is not cooperating and you just do not know what to wear anymore. 

Since Monday, the rain has been on and off. Some of us do get affected with the weather that our moods change as well. That sometimes, with a gloomy weather, we get lazy to dress up. Common’ you guys. We just have to dress fashionably comfortable. Don’t let the weather affect you~

STYLE | Big Things Coming

Hi and hello everyone! Happy happy March! :) Long time no post from me!!! Na -miss ko 'to and kayo... No bola yan.... :) I know I'm super behind na... (with all the backlog posts and all). Super many pending blog post talagaaa!!! Obviously, my hair is still green pa nga in the photos so you may expect atleast 4 to 5 blog posts pa from me with the green hair :)  

A number of you have been sending me private messages asking how I am, kumusta na ba ako or buhay pa ba akooo... Thank you! Thank you, I feel so loved cause a number of you care :)  

So what's the real reason why I went MIA(missing in action)? 

Things have become pretty crazy busy right after the holidays - yep, you heard me right! After the holidays pa!!! Tagal na diba?! Although, I admit, every year naman talaga eh nagiging busy kami everytime pumapasok ang January  because of the sunod-sunod na celebrations - birthdays, anniversary, school happenings of the daughter, you may include our short vacation cause January is the month when we are hibernating from all the pagod we acquired from all the events that we had. With all that said, you may already imagine our usual yearly "january happenings". Every year, sanay na ako ng ganun lagi. However, this 2015, we had a  different January. A SUPER BUSY but a VERY GOOD and BLESSED one because of a new project that has been awarded to our us. Ang ganda ng pasok ng 2015 to us 'cause we have been praying for this one and it came. Yun nga lang it was so challenging because of the 3 -weeks time frame given. 

Believe me, when I got the news, tumigil ang mundo ko. Ang daming apprehensions if we are to go for it and push it pa ba. But then again, when the Husby and I talked, we said to ourselves, "KAYA NATIN YAN. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AS LONG AS WE WILL WORK TOGETHER!" And that's the reason kaya sobrang na-toxic yung schedule ko.  My schedule got so pre-occupied that I had to set aside posting some updates here in the blog, in IG and even in the account of my pop-up shops  too... ( Di-nelay ko lang naman ng konti). Syempre, dun muna tayo sa mas may pangkabuhayan showcase... hahaha! (joke lang..)

Kidding aside, I really learned a lot from that 3 weeks time! I came to a realization that you can't always wait for success to come to you (In simple words sa tagalog, wag kang magpatumpik-tumpik lang!)

Be excellent in every work that you do so you will be noticed. One must take the initiative to do more what is expected of you each day. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, go and take the steps you need to make the most of it. Be pro-active so that you will be able to attain the success you desire ~ Do it! And if it doesn't heat up, do it again and again and again. 'Wag na 'wag susuko!  :)

On another note, check out these photos of me - still with green hair pa yan (Payat pa ako jan~Promise I gained weight from the all the holiday eating we had, dagdagan mo pa ng stress eating sa mga ganap sa buhay ko ;p )

STYLE| Happiness

Hey hey hey!!! So how was your Christmas? I bet all of you had fun and very happy during the Holidays. :) 

I do understand though that there are times in our lives when we feel so down that it comes to a point where being happy can already be a tricky task. Ito yung tinatawag na panahon ng sumpong, wala sa mood o basta wala ka lang gana sa mga nangyayari sa buhay mo. Pero since Chrismas Season ngayon... dapat lagi tayong masaya ok!

STYLE | Burst of Colors

Are you staring blankly in your closet full of clothes and yet you are still stucked for ideas on what to wear during the holidays? You are not alone!!! Bakit kaya ganito tayong mga girls ano… No matter how siksik with clothes our closet are, we still blurt out that we have nothing to wear. Di ko naman pwedeng masabing arte –arte lang kasi subok naman talagang lahat tayong girls eh nakaka –experience ng ganito.

STYLE | Smart Casual

Have you ever been invited to an event or an occasion for instance where in no dress code was ever mentioned. It’s kind of freaking me out pag ganyan. Nakaka freak out naman talaga! 

Ofcourse, so many things are popping up in my mind. You might get over-dressed or underdressed kasi. Nakakabaliw mag-isip ng kung anu-ano. Pero mas okay na yung maging safe than sorry. 

STYLE| Glowing Aura

Aside from shorts, I could say that I have a slight addiction to dresses and skirts. 

Ever since I started wearing short dresses, I always find myself shuffling through pages to find out a standout print or a stand out color in the latest trends online or when hunting around for best ones in stores. Since I am getting addicted to it, you will be able to see me more wearing one.

STYLE| Fresh and White

A brand new week once again! How are you? All good huh? Yes? YES!

You may have noticed that once in awhile I randomly post inspirational and motivational images in my Instagram posts. 
I am purposely doing it to spread positive outlook to my readers and followers. 

Just recently, I have been getting some instagram direct messages and comments that they really appreciate these inspirational images especially at times when they are feeling low. 
Some are thanking me because they find the words uplifting. I tend to get motivated from my posts too you know...  :) :) 
It’s just that it brings so much joy to my heart receiving such appreciation not just from friends but even from my  followers around the world. 
To some, the simple happiness from being appreciated may just have a little impact but to me it means a lot. Either way, I am absolutely grateful to everyone who appreciates my posts. 
Knowing I have helped uplift them in their darkest moments is my happiness. I know we all need to be uplifted once in awhile and I just love how I may be making someone’s day a bit brighter :)

 --------

Speaking about uplifting of one’s day, I find the lace top from VANITYCHICK SHOP so dainty looking that it makes my outfit so clean and neat even if I just paired it with a denim shorts. The lovely top perfectly made me feel feminine and girly while letting me express my usual casual -chic style. This is  the second time that I get to wear a piece from VANITYCHICK SHOP and I love how their pieces made my look different from one another.

STYLE | Mint Condition

How are you guys? How's was your halloween? hope it was great. While I am writing this post, I am simultaneously browsing different news in the web and chatting with one of my NFBB (new found blogger buddy).  We talked about anything in the sun ~ from fashion, to food to people. I realized then that it's really funny how social media has taken over our lives. I don't know if it is just only me. But from my observation (especially in Facebook), there are really a lot who use it to brag about what they have in life. (Like, do you really need to? This is why I try to stay away from facebook lately as it has slowly become a place for bragging already! ) I mean, it's really fun to share happy moments, new stuff that you have or places that you have been into with your friends and family but please do it moderately so that you would not appear as if you are bragging only! ( especially if you know for a fact that you have exaggerated some of it just to make it appear that you are filthy rich -  It's irritating you know...) 

Okay, I know that our "want" to aways look best in every situation or in every photo that we have is already innate in each of us- and there's nothing wrong with that.  In fact I could even relate this situation to my photos here. The photos may look that there's nothing going on. But did you know that I had several ant bites during the photo session. Tsk! I know, hassle right! But still, I tried my best not to get affected with the itchiness and pains just to appear good in the photos. 

Actually, it should always be that way- we should always put our best foot to always look our best, to always appear in mint condition in all the things that we do. 

However, we should always be true to ourselves. If I projected as if I am perfectly fine, that's because I'm doing it for a good photo shoot. But if we are to look at the situation on a personal note, it is so wrong to be pretending to be okay when you are not. It is so wrong to pretend that you bought those expensive items (again) even if it means that you will be in debt for the next century! haha! joke. But seriously, I hope that we could please try not to be somebody that we are not so we will not appear trying oh so hard. 

Let's all live within our means. Let's all be true. :)

For this outfit post, I really love how the mint cropped top from RIPPLES fits to my "taba" body. hehe. The cropped top is made of a stretchable fabric which definitely hid my fats haha! While the puffy skirt from KAI'S perfectly hid my big hips. :) To the girls who also have my similar body type, you can try this look too. Toss some chunky necklace and hat to look chic.  I paired the outfit with the pretty black and gold strapped flats from SHOEZETTE which completed my look.

 I want how the mint perfectly matched the color black. A total contrast of the light and dark colors helped me achieve my hippie-chic look.  What to you guys think?

Style | Bad Habits

How have you been doin' lately? Hope you are all good and feeling great. I am not feeling as great at the time while I am writing this post. My joints are sore.... 

Gosh, I have been feeling all sorts of pain like this recently and it starts to worry me already. I guess that's the problem when you start to age. You suddenly feel tired then feel all those aches and pains. Life sucks huh! But this is life....

I must confess I do not practice a healthy lifestyle. I eat everything - as in every single thing that you could think oozing with cholesterol and calories. I don't take vitamins and supplements. I don't sleep early. I don't exercise. So I guess those bad habits that I did in the past are slowly taking over my body. (Diba nga ang sabi ng mga matatanda, lahat yan may singil. I guess all of what our grandma's had to say before are all true!)

These pains that I currently feel makes it a total wake up call to me. It's already telling me that I should totally change my lifestyle. 

Please don't be like me okay... Take care and love your body all the time :)

Moving over... 

For this post I am featuring another casual - street wear outfit. 

I love how the sheer floral top from VANITYCHICK SHOP just flow loose on my body. The moment I saw this top, I already know that it would perfectly match the high-waisted jeans from THE SWEET CLOTH

While some prefer to wear their high- waisted jeans with cropped fitted tops, I on the other hand did the opposite. I purposely styled it this way so that my hips won't draw so much attention -(big hips problems ya' know!)   I don't know, it must be out of shyness because up to now I still have this tendency in hiding my hips instead of flaunting it.  I know I should not be hiding it because to others they consider having big hips as a plus asset. But who knows! Maybe in the coming months you would already see me pairing up this high-waisted jeans to tight fitting tops because I am going to start changing my lifestyle today before its too late. 

I'm already excited seeing myself eating healthy plates with a physically fit and toned body! Yiiiiiiiii! wish me luck :)
