Colors and Promises

This was taken on the day of graduation of the school where my mother teaches. I've been hosting the event for 3 consecutive years, syempre its my mom who owns the school so there's no "kaba" on my part. Hahaha. But, also syempre, the students' parents will be my critic here, and in everything you do, you should always make sure to do your best and so thats what I did. :)

On to my outfit, I really don't care about the color combination of what I wore. I am really fund of having colorful stuffs and making "terno" it with my favorite color, pink. This is not a too formal event because the graduates were kids (preschool) so I preferred to wear something colorful (but still in semi-formal color shades) top and skirt. 

Top and Skirt from Landmark. Oxford Shoes from Orelle. Bag from my momma. :)

Hair and Make-up by Kuya Gerald (my make-up artist for all occassions, he's been doing my make-up if may okasyon since college.)

 Look at the print, so playful. :)

 I loved the collar; it is actually the highlight of this top. 

Thank you also for the pinned flower on my blouse, it made the outfit to look formal. <3

Today is Holy Thursday. Let us commemorate the Last Supper that Jesus celebrated with the Disciples. 

Words to Live By

I got the chance to buy a lot of undated/back issue magazines yesterday (of course, got it for a lower price) and I am currently browsing the July 2013 issue of CANDY MAGAZINE, they have this page where they collage the unforgettable "quotable quotes" of some international stars. For a working girl like me, stress is just common feeling and words to live/inspirational quotes like this can easily turn my mood around.

So thanks to Candy Mag for having a page like this on this mag issue! I wonder if they have this every month? Well I have to check it out with my other back-issue Candy Mag later. I may look un-updated (for buying back-issues) but at least I got the chance to catch up to my high school favorite magazine plus the fact that it only cost half the regular monthly price. Haha.

"Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you're had a bunch of bad days. There are different ways you can deal with it, and the way I dealt with it was I turned completely to music." - Taylor Swift

I have come to realize that making yourself happy is most important. NEVER BE ASHAMED OF HOW YOU FEEL. You have the right to feel any emotion you want and do what makes you happy. That's my life motto. - Demi Lovato

I feel so good after a workout. Any time you can be alone yourself is really important.

Will surely be posting a lot about "Words to Live By" soon! 

PS: I am celebrating my birthday next week. Greetings are all welcome! Hahaha.

ETUDE HOUSE PRINCESS ACADEMY 2013

PINK!

That's the first word that came to my mind when I finally saw the venue.

Not only that! The food, the chairs, the cotton candy and the drinks are all PINK!

This is heaven for me. Nyehehehe.

Thanks Tous Les Jous for the macarons and sweet delights. And oh, the pink cola.

Noticed a cute pink street lamp on the side. Clap clap to the venue designer!

On the middle was the pink cola from Tous Les Jous.

On the other side, the pink car named ETUDE (guessing). Hahaha.

The Giyomi booth and the Photo booth.

This is the line for the make-up booth. We've waited for almost one hour just for the make-over but it was worth it! Look at the result ↓↓↓

While hopping to every booth, Etude House make sure that we can still enjoy the program.

Colleen Garcia, Miles Ocampo, Paul Salas, Neil Coleta, Ella Cruz, Diego Loyzaga and Dominic Roque visited. Carla Humphries as the event's host. 

Bianca Valerio gave a talk about her make-up tips and Mr. Ryuji Shiomitsu for fashion-tips.

There are also performances from Shiners and a girl group (sorry I really don't know their name).

Buddies! Kate and Kathlea! <3

Etude House gave a little small crown/tiara to every girl in the event. They really made us feel like a princess!

Thank you Etude House for the experience! And thanks for the freebies. Hihi. :)

Love,
