Gratitude Night & Ringhop Ceremony 2015

March 31, 2015


Hello lovely and beautiful readers all over the world! (pretentious intro lol!)


I've been itching to blog this event since its date was announced. Weeks before this lovely event took place, my mom and i was already planning what i should wear. Actually, i had trouble finding my gown because orange is not my thing and part of me dies the moment i heard that we'd be wearing Filipiniana gowns.




But i guess my gown turned out just fine, it's a Snow White inspired gown--- in orange. It's a custom made gown and im really happy that its turns out the way i envisioned for this gown to be.


Opted for a very very light make-up with no false lashes because i want this to be raw. So whenever i look at my photos maybe in ten years time, i will see myself in my true form, not hidden or buried with thick make-ups.


My very supportive mom! Honestly, this i think, is the only picture of us that she had her eyes open.


On our way to our table :)


Beautiful Moment is all i can say. And this very words coming from a deep person, means so much more than what it shows and means. This made me create and chase my dreams even more because i know, my family will always be there for me.


My classmates and batchmates singing You'll be in my Heart. I was part of this number but i decided not to join because i don't want to trip. But they did an amazing job!


Lights are out,
Candles are lighted,
And my mother started to read my letter for her.


To cut this moment off. I made my mom read my sister's assignment instead (hence her face), because i forgot to write a her a letter. HAHA sucks to be me but im glad she loves me! 


My mom and my lovely sister!


After the event was over, i went little cray-cray and took a lot of photos of me. That's why you can see me sweatin'!


My sister in her party girl face lol!


Im one year older but she's taller than me :( 
Why universe? Why?


Us with our back exposed! But not really though! Haha!


Until then! Sayonara minna!

    I think the gown looks lovely on you. I just love the light color. I hosted an event last year where the theme was Filipiniana, too, and I know how expensive these gowns are. My mother wanted to buy me one because I don't want to buy one with my salary but I didn't let her. But she at least bought me a Maria Clara shawl. Then I found an old dress tucked away in the closet which I never thought I'd wear but I did anyway. During the event, a lot of people told me they loved my dress. Ha!

    Stay Wonderful Always,

    Beautiful both the dresses and the party's theme. The last time I wore a barong is when I read at the church for a wedding and everyone's looking since barongs are not known in here.
