Sendai Suzume Odori
For a week, I haven’t been posting anything - and for a good reason. I joined Adamson University’s Bunka Koryu Kai for the guest performance at Nihongo Fiesta. The last time I actually performed on stage was ages ago (not counting the talent portion in last October’s pageant, even so, Oct2011 was ages ago). I just couldn’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about...

DIY: 3.1 Phillip Lim-inspired transparent collars

Yay for DIY Day!
Today I feel so giddy. I’ve been planning this day since… well, just last night at 2am when I wasn’t feeling sleepy yet. Unfortunately the 9am wake-up time and Divi-trip-be-back-home-by-lunch-time didn’t go as planned. I woke up at 1pm and was able to leave the house at 3pm. Good thing, I already know where to go and what to buy. Planning ahead really helps.

What's In My Bag?
I don’t own so many bags. But I’m quite happy since I’m not picky. I don’t also do matchy-matchy with my outfits and bags. But depending on the purpose of my usage, my bags changes - ie. I use my Adidas backpack when travelling to stuff laptop, camera, grooming kit, a book, and my planner.
I think I have enough bag to match the feel of my outfits whether they be preppy,...

Flowers Anyone?
Before you go asking about my recent FB stats lately, let me say that my boyfriend and I are not breaking up. We just both dislike the fact that everyone’s scampering around trying to get the same presents (flowers, dinner dates, chocolates, bears, what have you) to their significant others. To us, V-day is everyday. We’re so cool like that yeah?

DIY: Galaxy Shoes
I got these old and ugly (according to my boyfriend) clogs which already lost a few of its studs and decided to give it a make over. I don’t know why I bought them. Must’ve been a slave to the shoe trend. Since galaxy prints are the trend these days, you know what happens next…

January 27, 2012 (another image-heavy post to enjoy) January 26, 2012 (another image-heavy post) read part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
On our second to the last full day in KL, we finally visited the famed Petronas twin towers. We didn’t go up the viewing deck though. It costs RM50 per adult and you’re only allowed 10mins up and there’s a long queue. Instead, we roamed around Suria KLCC.

Let me start the day’s post with my outfit photos. This is one of my favorite dresses. At first, it didn’t fit me well. Or maybe I was just too conscious of my body and my choice of clothing wasn’t into this kind. But anyway, I love this now.

DIY: Two-Toned Flats
Sorry for not being online a lot lately. I’m back in Manila and busy cleaning the house. It’s the new year after all, I have to have a ‘fresh’ start. I successfully purged my closet of almost half of my clothes (now, I have more room for new clothes!) and sorted old papers from school. Ah my book shelf looks neat now.
In between cleaning times, I did a DIY on my old pair...

Fashion: the JRP Way
Last December 2011, I was one of the first 100 who liked John Robert Powers Manila’s Facebook page. As a prize, we were awarded with a short course of our choice. Looking at my fail-fashionista of existence, I didn’t think twice about choosing the wardrobe course. And I’m glad I did.

Geo CM-834 Angel Series
I lost my first non-cosplay lens when it fell down the sink during my stay at Cebu last October. Since I don’t use lenses too often or longer than 3 hours (my eyes get tired easily) I never thought I’d buy another one except for cosplay purposes - which I haven’t been doing lately.
I buy my lenses from GEO CONTACT LENS, the official distributor of GEO lenses in the Philippines -...
