Beat the Heat
What time is it? Summer time! It’s our vacation! However, I’m not a student anymore so… What vacation?
Luckily, I can still manage to squeeze in some time for travel. Here are some of the photos from my latest escapade (all of which are outfit photos, by the way).
No, I’m not campaigning for a certain candidate. I just wanted to be as bright as the sunshine.

-Chocolate Melts
-Molds
-Decorating Bags/Foil
-Lollipop Sticks
-Plastic Wrappers
-Ribbons
I bought all these (except for the ribbons) at Michaels but I’m sure they’re...

Shedding My Skin
(Quick Post)
I’ve been sick for days already. It must be the weather. Ugh, I hate this feeling. That’s why today, I put on a simple outfit for church. I even have shades to hide my bare pale face. Haha.

Hippie Yippie
They say whatever you do during the first day of the year, you’ll be doing for the next 12 months. So I chose to blog!
This was during our Pangasinan trip (see previous post). When traveling, I opt for a comfortable outfit aka sweater and jeans.

Pangasinan 2012
So I have been bombarding my blog with loads of posts from my US trip and I think it’s just right that I also bombard it with travel posts from my home — the Philippines.
Recently, my family and I visited one of our hometowns — Pangasinan. The pictures here shows our usual route every time we visit the place — Lingayen, Binmaley, Mangaldan, Dagupan and Manaoag.

This was during Christmas day (which explains the bright red outfit). I wanted to walk around the city with my antlers on, but other people might think I’m crazy so I didn’t.

No Eyes
The rays of the sun were so blinding that I wasn’t able to keep my eyes wide open; hence, the title of this post. I hate it when my eyes are squinting in pictures but these are the only ones I have for this outfit so here they are.
At last, I was able to wear this peplum skirt I bought 2 months ago. I love that it suits my personality — very bright and colorful.

Sweater Weather
Okay, I was being sarcastic. Two ber months have already passed and yet the brrrr still can’t be felt. Nevertheless, I’d still wear all my sweaters! They’re perfect for the “lazy days”.
What I like about this one, aside from its cute print, is that it is not too thick which makes it wearable during the not-so-cold days.

USA 2012: Week 7
Finally, the last installment of my USA travel posts is here. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my family and relatives for making this dream of mine come true. Even after three months, it still feels surreal. The places I once only saw on the big screen were right before my eyes. There is no doubt it is such a beautiful country which makes me miss it sometimes. But as the saying...

USA 2012: NY Aquarium and Bronx Zoo
Welcome to Animalandia! This has got to be one of my favorite blog posts ever! I truly love animals. I take pictures of them whenever I get the chance to. Honestly, I want to be a wildlife photographer (aside from being an engineer, of course).
Anyway, for those who do not know, New York Aquarium is in Brooklyn. It’s also in Coney Island (see previous post). Bronx Zoo is, well, in Bronx....

We were so lucky we saw Coney Island at its prime. It’s just so sad to see the pictures of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The weather was so cold there (it even rained) during our visit that we had to buy sweaters just to be able to move around.

Haaah! At last, another outfit post after n years! I’m not really very fond of the color green which explains why you don’t see me wear a lot of clothes in that color. Well, today’s a different day.
I actually like this shade of green best. It’s very refreshing to the eyes. These are my favorite colored pants, by the way. They make my legs look longer(?). HAHA.

For me, this was the best part of the whole trip —having visited 4 different theme parks in 4 days. I’m a kid at heart.

Besides, who doesn’t enjoy going to the “happiest places on Earth”?...

The Fashion Week has ended and I’m so lucky to have watched one show (out of the four I had tickets for). Before the show started, I went to the SuperSale Bazaar to check out what they had there.

Two Sides to a Bag
Another denim + floral print outfit
Tadaaa. The main attraction of the outfit: the high-low/mullet skirt.
The other attraction is the bag, which is the one mentioned in the title. Notice that it has two sides to it which I find very cool. Plus, I bought it at a tiangge store which makes it wayyyyy cooler. I’m such a cheapskate! HAHA.
