Burning Fire

What I wore: top Betty (SM Girls Teens' Wear) • Burning Fire leggings c/o Romwe

Finally an outfit post! After posting book reviews consecutively, I hope you'll also enjoy one of the looks I mixed and matched this year. I wore this last May after my high school friends and I had our overnight stay at a hotel (as I mentioned in this post). I told myself that I should bring something comfortable because for sure we will all be tired after all the catching up we will do and of course, the lack of sleep. It ain't no overnight stay if you sleep all day. I just have to make that rhyme. Anyway at the same time, I wanted it also to be striking.

Bold colors and print will definitely make an outfit stand out. Also accessories definitely help in achieving the look. Aside from the galaxy print leggings, I used loud colors like violet, purple and pink. I also made sure that the hues all compliment each other to avoid overdoing it.

The weather that day was also difficult to predict that's why it was also a good thing my outfit was just perfect for both a sunny and rainy day. It did rain after I took these photos at home. At least I didn't have to be bothered when it's too hot or too cold.

In addition, I clearly enjoyed creating this look. It emanated a very youthful aura. I think the color play also helped. It reminded me of being a kid--full of innocence, playful, ready to run under the sun and just enjoy life. Despite being 22, I guess I still feel like a child at times. I appreciate cartoons, children's books, toys, and enjoy games. I'm no rush to grow up or to take life seriously. Well, in a sense that I'm not ready to take the next step that some people in my age venture on though I absolutely know my priorities: family, career, and my dreams to come true. I'm happy to explore and discover more, to risk and to take adventures without something holding you back. I am so ready to go outside my shell that I am claiming this as my year. But of course, Thy will be done. :)

Well, I think this sunny disposition should be contagious so I am sharing them to you. We're already in the second quarter of the year and I might have my ups and downs, but I am still grateful for everything. The failures and mistakes should be diverted as motivation and inspiration that will result to new learning and experiences. I am happy that God has given me so many blessings this year, whether it may be in the form of material or abstract things, opportunities, and people. Don't let the bad vibes take over. Remember that you can always overcome it and if there are people who gives you this kind of emotional baggage, you can always cut them loose. Because in the end, those people who inspires you and loves you are the only ones that matter.

Wishing you all a positive week ahead and of course, a great day! ♥

Paint Me A Galaxy

This was taken during the AnimoFest! last February. Sorry for the very late post but better late than never, right? Abi, Danna, Miho and I decided to meet up at our Alma Mater to celebrate the University Week with our fellow Lasallians and also to see the newly constructed Henry Sy building. My brother tag along with me because I want give him the DLSU experience first hand, just in case he chose to be green in the future. He has three more years to decide. Off to the outfit!

Well, it was about time for me to wear this leggings and show them off to the world. How can you not flaunt such an amazing print? I tell you! It was quite a scene-stealer! I opted to wear a long top since I hate pairing leggings with short tops since it is not a flattering view. Trust me.

Sorry to keep the outfit post short today and not really detailed since we were to pre-occupied bonding and enjoying ourselves during the event. But I added a short photo diary out of collages below.

I love that close-up photo of my friends and I. Though it's blurred, it still signifies our friendship and reminded me so much of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Like the girls in that story, we were all different in terms of style and personality but jive as one core. It's cheesy, I know but it's true. (We miss you, Hsieh, Mae & Mole!)

Okay, so I think I need to explain the paint on our faces. We were not able to get those green balloon thingies and the glow sticks to sashay during the concert. So when we saw some of the booths putting glow-in-the-dark paint or glue on their faces. I told myself why not? It was a once in a lifetime kind of event since not all U-week celebrations are the same. At first, I was hesitant and urge my brother to do it and he did. I was kind of jealous and would love to experience a painted face during a celebration ala Sinulog or Coachella. So I gave in. How do we look? My brother was hailed Bonakid though since he was only eleven that time and because of the blue paint on his face. LOL.

It was an awesome night and we partied the night away. Though we went home early since I had a curfew that night (Hello babysitter to my brother!), we still had fun and it was the most awesome U-week I have attended yet.

Have a great day everyone and hope you enjoyed this post!
