Blue Wave

Top: Binkydoodles, Jeans: SM GTW, Bag: Primadonna and Shoes: SM Parisian


For me, there are two things that makes a blog be a good blog. First, is the good, interesting and entertaining text content and of course good looking, high definition photos. I have been neglecting mostly the second part because I only use my phone for taking outfit shots. It is because some klutz accidentally fell the digi cam we last owned. *I am guilty for this crime :( * But I don't have to worry for that anymore. My big brother, who came home for a week vacation from his work in Singapore, got us a new one. :)
Anyway, the whole fam went out of town last Sunday to catch up and of course to show my brother's girlfriend around 'coz it's her first time in Bikol.




I actually am a fan of Binkydoodles ever since I got this top from Kryz Uy at the BU3 which I blogged about  here. What I love about them is that they make this top and dresses with unique designs and absolutely gorgeous prints that are not very common. To those girls out there who hates wearing the same thing with other girls like what you buy in malls, this is the online shop you'd want to shop with. They make MTOs specially for you. I was lucky enough last holiday when they had items on sale and instantly fell in love with this top.  I wore it with my fave pair of jeans on our Albay trip last weekend. Our first stop was the Cagsawa Ruins. Too bad, we weren't able to see the Mayon in full view. After lunch, we also went to Lignon Hill. We walked all the way up which burned almost all the calories I had that day. Hehehe

I leave you guys with pictures from our mini adventure.

I missed the GGV episode when the "I-dawn zulueta thing" became popular. My brother wanted to do it to me but I refused. So I offered to him na lang. And it was so fun, even if people were staring at us. Hahahha. But I must say this is one epic photo.

Scarf Print Version 2.0

Top: Mom's Christmas Gift, Shorts: PP and Shoes: SM Parisian


This post has been long overdue. I got this top from Mom for Christmas. I don't know why but I got really attracted to color orange lately. It is definitely not one of my fave color palette before but I instantly got hooked to it.

This is one of the times when I get to be brave to wear such loud prints. I must say this is one of the most eye-catching tops I own. Since, the print is pretty bold I paired it with the safest color next to white which is nude. It gave the top the subtle effect of not being too loud for that matter. I wore this to visit my Popsi at the hospital on a Christmas day.

Tinkerbell

Headband: Forever 21, Dress: Thrifted and Shoes: SM Parisian


Started the year by dressing up a bit. This is what I actually wore on New Year's Day which is also the Death Anniversary of my Dad. Of course, we visited him at the cemetery. After having our lunch, we also had this spontaneous  Secret Santa which took us all the afternoon to buy gifts because most of the stores are closed.


Hype this look on lookbook.nu here


Back to the outfit, I actually have this dress for quite some time now. I was not sure what shoes to pair it with and on what occasion would I use it. Until, this nude flats came along. I also got to use this floral headband from Forever 21. For the accessories, I just stacked up on a few pearls and lace bangles.

Dainty New Year Armpartey!


Tinkerbell wasn't actually the sole inspiration or peg of my outfit it just so happen that I look all fairy-ish with the headband and the lace-y floral detail of the dress. I was actually going for dainty with the whole look.

So, what do you think of this post?

Cosmic

Shirt: YRYS, Pants: Wearelse, Headband: Anagon Collection
and Shoes: SM Parisian

I have been dying to have a pair of galaxy print leggings ever since I saw it at romwe.com which was ages ago but was just really expensive for me. Until, Wearelse Boutique came in to the picture. This was actually an impulsive online buy. My budget was already in tact but I just couldn't resist. And it was all worth it when it came a day after I paid for it. That was just the fastest that I have received an order online.

Hype this on lookbook.nu here

Anyway, I paired it with a simple tee and nude flats to give emphasis to the galaxy printed bottom. I also got to wear this wire headband I bought from Anagon the Fashionista Commuter. I am also wearing my new specs here. 8-)

Diamonds Christmas Reunion 2012

Dress: Powder Blue, Belt: SM Accessories, Shoes: Asianvogue

Everything was planned for the 22nd of December, there were committees, invitations were already printed, layouts for the tarps were done, Mark offered his place for venue. The only problem was, everyone was busy with either work or school. Meeting was called and cancelled several times until we finally gave up on the party and go have dinner and karaoke night instead. But there was another problem, it was a weekend near Christmas, schools are on break and people from everywhere are now home, and we haven't placed a reservation to places where we were supposed to hang out.

But that didn't stop us from taking our chances. So off we went to a journey. We were split into groups and went to places. A lot of places, we have probably been to every place in Magsaysay Avenue that we can hang out at. As time ticks by and we were all exhausted with all the walking, and waiting we finally decided to go with the best option that we should have decided from the very start and that was to stay at Mark's. We just have to swing by a grocery store for drinks and stuff and we are all ready to go.

It was all worth it the walking, waiting, arguing, reminiscing, walking, waiting, picture takings, sharing (present and future), and all the laughing and of course all the walking. Hahahha. We said our goodbyes after attending an early simbang gabi.

Now let me leave you guys with pictures I have managed to copy from their facebook accounts.

366 Days of 2012




The year 2012 has been such a blessing not only to me but also to my family. Thanks to Him, the odds were mostly in my favor. I have made my fair share of both success and failure last year. But I am definitely  thankful for both.

I am so thankful for everything. I want to share with you guys the highlight of my 2012.



Day 1 of 366: New Year's Day and My Dad's 9th Death Anniversary

Celebrating the first day of the year for our family is quite different from the rest because besides from the new year party with relatives, we get to remember our Dad on his Death Anniversary. It is quite a special day for us to visit our Dad at the cemetery where we share to him how our year went. Surely, he's pretty proud not only with me and my siblings but also with our Mom being both the mom & dad and for doing such a great job.

Day 22 of 366: My little sister, Ara turned 18

This was definitely a special day for the family celebrating my sister's 18th. She actually had this mini concert which was a dream come true for her. It is the best time for family to get together, and of course food. I also got a small part for her concert where I got to dance with my cousin Ina, who's a Ballet Manila scholar, for one of my sister's song number. I must say I messed up a lot but with family and relatives around watching, there's no need to worry or to be embarrassed 'cause no matter how awful you did, they would always praise you for a great job. Hahahah. That's how we love each other.


My sister was teasing me while she introduced me to the audience

Day 53 of 366: My 21st Birthday

It was such a hectic day for me. Even though I didn't have a class that day I was quite in a full schedule. First, is our yearbook photo shoot which took the whole day for me as I went to school late. Then, was my birthday lunch with family and close friends. Next, I was assigned to cover for our JPIA president for judging the talent competition of JPIA- ADNU's Mr. and Miss AOG 2012. Such a surreal experience for me. And lastly, I get to have a dinner date with my LMFFs; Kae, Tazz and Fianne.

Day 64 of 366: Senior's Ball

Even when I was supposed to get a day of beauty rest to get ready for the event, I enjoyed the whole day prepping the venue with my co-graduating officers. I actually only had 2 hours to have some rest and prep myself for it. But it was all worth it, because I spend it with them.

One of the reasons why I study for school because they do. A lot! haha

Day 84 of 366: Graduation

I was all giddy in the morning and was devastated for the Graduation proper. I was late and never got to join the Graduation march or even hear the complete speech of our commencement speaker Sen. Teofisto Guingona III. I feel embarrassed with what I have done but it ended well with a dinner out with my family.

Day 108 of 366: The most awaited Phone call

I was at the mall with a hang out with fam. Then, my phone rang. Someone from Phil Trust bank called me that I am going to have my final interview and exam in a few days at the head office. This was definitely one of the best and happiest day of my existence.

Day 111 of 366: Nailing it!

The day of final interview has come. I accomplished a number of exams, then the one who passed will be up for a medical exam then when you get through with it the dundundun, final interview. I was soo nervous I didn't know what was going to happen. And then in the afternoon, I was officially employed. It all happened too fast I can't even...Just surreal.

Day 122 of 366: Start of Something New

This was actually very memorable because I get to start my training as a bank teller.

Day 131 of 366: Mother's Day with Vasquez sisters and my nephew

It was a very nice experience living independently in a pretty scary place. Spent the afternoon with my nephew, Ate Regine, Ate Cathy and Ate Vieanne. Such nice people, felt like a family to them. We went to the Manila Zoo which was actually my first time to. Then, had dinner at MOA.

Day 147 of 366: MOP with Family

My family was on summer school break so they were able to visit me over the weekend. They stayed at the Pius Hotel where me and my co-trainees were also staying. It was there last day of visit so we went somewhere we'll all enjoy. So we decided to go to the Manila Ocean Park.

Day 154 of 366: Blogger's United Bazaar 3

Of course, this was definitely one of the biggest highlight of my year. I blogged about it here.


I would never waste a chance not to get a pic with them

Day 174 of 366: Branch Opening

I  already blogged about it here.

Day 222 of 366: My Myx Video Request

My video response for My Myx got aired. I was supposed to take a video or picture of it but I got too overwhelmed. It was cool watching myself on tv.



Day 278 of 366: Letter of Regular Appointment

The moment me and my officemates; Julie and Krys are waiting for. Finally, five months of being on probationary is finally over. Our letter of regular appointment came.


That was just few of the biggest highlights of my 2012. Thank you for everyone who gave their part for me to reach this far. I know 2013 will be bigger and better.


Toodles!
Much Love,
AnDi
