This year, it opened doors of chances to me and i took all that chances and im just so glad that im becoming what i wanted to be. Im just a little scared though because this will be my last year as a teen, and next year i will be hitting 20 and i just think that it's not fair because i spent my last 3 years in our house, resting. But let's just stay positive because you know what they say ... 'It all happens for a reason.'
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a blast celebrating the birthday of Jesus. So last night, i stayed up late with my sisters and cousins, to wait the clock to struck 12 and then we all went outside and watched the fireworks display, ahhh that's what i love above Christmas, it's just so loud and colorful and merry! And then early in the morning, we all went out to church and had our lunch at this fancy restaurant. Then mum bought a lot of Christmas gifts for her Amiga's, after all the walking, the talking, the eating, we went home atlast and i was so dead tired but happy!
This might not be the typical red/black/green ensemble for Christmas but i think its cute enough to pass as a Christmas outfit. I just love the dress with and everything in this wishlist, the hue of the bag is just so refreshing from the pastel and black colors i chose in this wishlist. And im just so inlove the the beaded shoes because its just so sophisticated and rocking the whole outfit. Can you imagine, walking down the street wearing all these? You'd be a total cute bomb! Persunmall has got all of these and it is really worthy to check out their online store.
Have you ever thought of having a pretty face, perfect skin & perfect hair instead of having what we have? I sure do. But that was when i was like 13 years old. I would always buy beauty/fashion magazines and would just stare at the pictures of perfect looking models who seems to have got it all. I would often find myself wasting my day by just lying in my bed and imagining things of what i should have and what should i look like. These things started when i figured that a pretty face could get you somewhere, could catch somebody's attention, & could boost your self-esteem without trying so hard. I know i was such a stupid girl back then but i never regretted that i have wished those things because it somehow gave me a way of loving myself and of what i have.
It seems
like it was just yesterday that we celebrated Christmas and now here we are in
our very lives living the month of December and decorating Christmas decors in
our houses once again! Man, time sure is flying fast and we won’t know it unless we can
almost taste it. Personally, I love Christmas, it’s my favourite holiday of the year because
things are just so nice and pretty and colorful. And I think that this Christmas
will be my best yet to come because I’m so involve with things that are going
on with my life now, and I’m much more open with things I want.
Ever since i got the message of how the world works, i feel sorry. For myself of course! I gotta admit, that i will never be a like everyone else, who can run when in a hurry, who can walk/squat if needed to, who can wear anything without without having people thinking "Why she's wearing that? Doesn't she know that her bum is so flat and small that even my bare fist is curvier and bigger?". I know that being like me is like sky away from my dreams. Im not belittling myself but i get it when people chooses someone who can help themselves in a difficult situations without tripping.
I know this outfit is not much but im proud to say that all the pieces i put in here are all vintage, and it's from my mum and my sister and the only thing i owned in this outfit are the accessories & that black belt which i bought 5 years ago. Yes, 5 years ago but i only used it for like 3 times and just for special occasions. Being the kind of t-shirt and blue jeans kinda girl, i don't really like tucking in my tops and i don't like wearing blazers because there's one time when our neighbor pointed out how i dressed, she said that i look like a company worker because of my blazer. And being a 13 years old little girl, i was ashamed that i even went back to our house and changed my clothes. But things have changed when i began to really loving and sticking to fashion and i started to dont "really" care about their comments.
Last Friday, the super typhoon (Haiyan) "Yolanda" landed in the Philippines and battered the provinces of Eastern Visayas. I was lucky that i lived at the central part of Visayas but throughout the whole 2 days, we felt how strong Yolanda is. A lot of the old trees in our place was cut down by the strong wind, it was very frightening and all we could do is hide away from the flying roofs and branches of trees. But what happened to the other places was much worst than ours.
I may not wear shorts, but this is a different story. Remember when i blogged about going to the mall with my sister after running some errand? Well, you probably have, if you're not busy advertising your blog (mehehe). Moving on, as i was looking for some clothes, i passed by this hangers of cool high waist shorts. I fell in-love with it instantly, it was more like a love at first sight kind of thing. And as my hands was into the motion of getting it, i stopped mid air... i was having a second thought because i don't wear shorts.
Okay, so tomorrow is the end of my sembreak and the official start of the 2nd semester class. Before i had my 3 weeks rest, i had so much plans and i even wrote it and blog about it. Turns out, half of my to-do list was never checked out, because throughout the whole 3 weeks, all i did was eat, eat out, movies, and eat. Yeah! my diet was ruined, my sleep pattern was ruined and i even looked like a pig! Im so sad, im just so sad because i thought i will have a whole lot of fun stuff to do in my sembreak, but all i really did was eat. But on the brighter side--- okay, there is no brighter side because it was all ruined *sob*
Earlier, i spent my whole day watching scary/horror movies with my sisters at home, we watched it at Star Movies Nightmare-athon! And man! We all can't get enough of Hansel and Gretel! It was just so kick-ass movie! My sisters and i love their badass gun weapons and their action scenes was so cool too! And up until now, we're still not over with our Nightmare-athon. "The Possession" is up now and it's my second time watching it, so scary O.O'
Last nights little event with my sisters was unplanned, it started when my little sister Mariel jokes about going to town with my other sister Angel. And I really thought that the're really going, so I quickly went to my room and changed my clothes. Then Angel asked me where I'm going because I was dressed, and i told her about what Mariel had told me and to my dismay, it was all a lie. huhu :'( Angel then told me that they're just going to the school to buy tempura and kwek-kwek. Out of nowhere, a bright idea pops in my head!
Yesterday, me and my sister went to town to have a grocery shopping. It's mostly when my mum is busy that we ran this errand. I love grocery shopping because i get to pick some stuff just for me like extra lotions , shower gels, shampoos and most of all junk foods! Eventhough i kept on telling myself that junk foods is bad, i just can't stop! Lay's and Pringles are calling my name! So sweet of them right? hehe So yeah, we ended up piling lots of junk foods in our cart. Mum must be so proud. lol!
Hear ye hear yo! It's sem break time again people! Ever since the class started this year, all im praying to have is a week long (x3) break from school and it finally lands in my hands (finally!). After i took the last exam this morning, i quickly went home and you know... plan things out (hehe). Eventhough im dead tired and just wanna jump into bed and sleep, i just couldn't! because there's so many things to plan and you know im a kind of girl who plans things out first because if i don't have a plan of what-to-do's for the days to come, i would just be in bed or in-front of the computer doing seriously nothing. But ive got all things covered this time and i would seriously do it :)
So the final exam will start tomorrow and that means this week will be a hell for me. You know what guys, i don't like studying, especially when it comes to memorizing long lines and all. But what can i do right? Im obligated for this and i have to do my very best to pass this sem because this will be my future. I will keep this post short because i really need to study :)
Eventhough im already 19 and will be 20 years young next year, im still uncomfortable wearing make-ups, or should i say "I still don't know how to put make-ups". I grew up by just and only putting baby powder in my face with a little lip balm and i only got my eyebrows plucked this year! Yes, im that late bloomer. But these days, things have changed a lot in my mind because i want to wear make-ups now and be just different the way i am now. Maybe it's about time to take on some edgy and more mature stuff because im old enough. Im thinking to do my plans this sem break. And i hope i wont look horrible or anything. Anyways, this is what i wore earlier in class, i like wearing skinny jeans because i just grew up with it and my style is kind of laid back and just plain simple.
When people stares at me and seems to be wondering why im walking the way walk--- makes me wanna run. I mean, i cannot run or even walk faster without getting myself kissing the floors first. I just hate it everytime they does that, i know that they don't do it on purpose but i don't wanna be looked at as a girl with a footdrop, i wanna be looked at as a normal girl walking in the street doing my everyday stuff. And there's nothing wrong with that right?
So earlier, i went to the town because we have a shooting, i have mentioned about that before in my other post and yes, we're still not done. I wore my pink rubber slippers and yes, they stared at me again. And as always, i don't like it. So to shrugged that thought off my head i waved my ponytail to them. Hah! i guess i should be getting myself comfortable with that.
I know you guys are getting tired of my posts recently, and i know this post is kinda same with the other post i posted week ago. But hear me out first you guys! This post is nothing like the other, but yes... i did used Gulaman and Fruit Cocktail in my salad but wait! Did you know that the buko i used in my salad was actually picked from OUR front-yard? Yes, you read it right! my grandparents planted those Coconut Trees. My parents loves to drink the buko juice because you know... its nutritious and all.
We all know that sem break is near at hand, and that means more projects and homeworks will be given to the students to be able to take the final exam. So in my certain subject , our professor gave us a task of making a music video, we can either cover the artist's mv or we could make our own. But in my group, we all agreed to just cover a video and we chose Taylor Swift's "22" with a little bit of Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time". We then shoot a scene where were in the pool, so we went to an affordable and student friendly place. We went into this place where we need to hike for a good 10 minutes into the mountain. Here are some of the photos i took earlier.
Yesterday, I failed to buy the ingredients that was supposed to be made today, so I came up in making this steamed cake. Because I just don't want to waste my day in doing nothing, I went to our kitchen and look for some stuff I could use for something risky, something that I haven't done yet. Then I saw the leftovers from my previous post. I immediately took it out and turn it into something tasty :)
I thought that my school week-ender would be a low down because i woke up sick late this morning and i got left behind in our class because for some reason, im hopeless with codes and stuff. Although im supposed to be posting about food, i... ditched it because i was feeling a little low and unmotivated of what had happened in the first half of my day. So instead of cooking and documenting my 'supposed post', i invited my good friends to come over to our house and asked them to help me with my school dilemma because i don't want to ruin the rest day of this week just because of that.
My friends are just so amazing (special mention to Ate J.). She can figure out easily the weird looking codes with one stare. And with a snap, my unfinished school stuff falls into their significant places. Im glad that i have friends who can help me in my tough times, you see... im not the brightest bulb in the class but i have something in me that everybody does have also, but it's so unique that it makes us all special as an individual. Be it beauty, brain, talent in singing, in dancing, in writing, confidence, being funny, you name it and somebody has/have it or it could be you!

Since my afternoon class yesterday was postponed, I came home early and decided to make a homemade gulaman to be added in my fruit salad. Im kind of proud of the achievements I got this week, not just I put up a new blog but also I consistently post real stuff (you know what i mean?). Because in my old blogs, I only posted my writings there with no pictures but now I decided to take a different route. Please excuse the quality of my photos, I used my Canon Powershot A3300 IS because I don't have dslr cam but im planning to buy one (im saving for it). Enough of the camera I used, let's get back to business.
Ever since i was a kid, i already know that im just this shy little girl in school who will always whisper the answer than to raise her hands. I kept a low profile just to avoid any humiliation, and im also afraid to be the center of the attention like being called by the teacher to answer her questions in front of the class. That's why i graduated in elementary and high school never knowing if there was any teacher who knows me or my name.
In all my fail attempts in
making a perfect puto cheese, I finally got it right! You know, it took me 4
times, 4 fail times to finally master it. And it felt good after perfecting it.
One thing I learned from my experience was to always follow the procedure and
never attempt to change the ingredients measures unless you know what you’re
doing. So here’s how to cook your own buttered puto cheese.
