The Alchemist.

I know, I'm really sorry for not updating for a very long time. I've been busy/drained with school, and posting something new is merely possible since there's nothing so interesting to post about.

Anyway, to cut the long waiting, here's something I've been looking forward to doing: FAMILY DATE! It's been a while. It had been really hard keeping up with shit from time to time without your parents around, but I'm tryna get used it, since crying wouldn't do any help. I've been crying myself to sleep and I can't sleep properly since they moved away. And I'm looking forward to every weekend they spend here in Manila. 

We watched The Rise of The Planet of the Apes at MOA. (As usual) And the movie was really cool, except that my childhood crush got tasered to death by Caesar, the leader of all the apes and the main character in the movie. James Franco is way beyond HOT, and I must say his acting skills improved. (Well, cause I think he sucked at Spiderman) Any how, here's what I wore:

Derby Hat from MIC

Sheer Top from Thrifted

Denim Cut-offs from Levi's

Bag from Louis Vuitton

Wedges from Parisian

My make-up that day! Haha! My friends asked if I use a ruler when putting on liquid eyeliner. Well, I dont. :)) I just happen to perfect the drill.

Wee! Haha! I bought this one at Zara, fro 480bucks. I just could not, resist!

Something I do.

I've noticed that most of my works include texturizing and all that offset effect. I'm inlove with high-saturated photos and feminine colors. But my favorite colors are Teal, Blue Green and Maroon.

I'm thinking of a new inspiration for my layout next month! Haha! Excited much?

GIVE ME INSIGHTS! XX

What I'd die for to wear this month.

Collared Dresses

Why I'm so into these? BECAUSE I BOUGHT NEW SHOES! I recently ordered a replica of Gianmarco Lorenzi Wedge Mary Janes, and what outfit would look best with it? COLLARED DRESSES. Or maybe preppy skirts and School-uniform-inspired clothing.

LAZY JACKO

I've been itching to post a look on Lookbook  and in here and FINALLY after years of waiting, my blog is finally blowing off cobwebs!

I missed my mom and dad so much, I had to ditch a major subject just to attend to an early bus ride to Clark with my brothaman. I was surprised that we are the only passengers on that special trip that costed 450PHP each. Not bad for a well-ventilated and clean bus that had no long stop-overs. If you guys are looking for a bus ride from Manila to Clark, particularly from Pasay, try PHILTRANCO BUS LINES, for they have the best accommodations in the metro. Aside from well-uniformed women conductors, they assure you exact arrival time. The trip lasted for 2 hours and me and my brother just slept the whole trip! Haha! 

Anyway, this post was the day that we went shopping around the duty frees along Clark Airbase. NOTICE MY HAIR! I swear it's not that saturated in person. It seemed reddish, but it's really not. :)) SO HEAR HEAR.

WHAT I WORE:

Shirt from Genevieve Gozum, denim shorts from GUESS?, Union Jack Clutch from London and Black Suede Boots from Promenade

 DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE CLUTCH???

 I LOVE MY TAN HERE :">

 My brother took this and imagined of my hair was this short. I might try it sometime, jus not now. :| :))

Haul Post ▼: Random

Clark bound again for 3 days to visit my parents who are now located at DAU. As usual, PARKSON shopping for the nth time already and this time I was tamed down by mom who saw me eyeing on those assorted lipbalms again. I JUST COULDN'T STOP BUYING! Haha!

So here's a couple of goodies I bought.

 POP ROCKS CRACKLING GUM! MY CHILDHOOD YEARS!

AND THAT MAGIC POTION POP ROCK IS SUPER AWESOME :))

 A COUPLE OF FALSIES FOR PERSONAL USE, 'CAUSE MOST OF MY FALSIES ARE FOR MY CLIENTS.

 NEW BRUSH 'CAUSE I RECENTLY LOST MY OLD BRUSH.

 COVERGIRL SMOKEY SHADOW BLAST, IN COBALT AND SEA.

AND EYELASH ADHESIVE!

NOW NOW, STAY TUNED FOR THE FOLLOWING POST ;)

Poison Ivy : Harry Potter Ending in 3D

 I KNOOOWWW! You guys would probably say "FINALLY!" haha! I know I haven't blog in ages, and forgive me for I have this thing called SCHOOL that keeps me away from blogging. :)) And to cut the long ranting short, let me talk you through what happened through these photos.

FIRST  and FOREMOST. Who haven't watched HP& Part 2 yet? ALL YOU PEOPLE MUST NOT MISS IT. This is the part where you should hate yourself to not even care if it's still showing or not! Cause watching it in 3D or just in Cinema is a whole different thing than watching it at your home on a DVD. I'm a Harry Potter baby, and I'm in the generation who'd cry over the film. And I did.

I MISS HP already, especially Draco. My childhood crush! Forever I'm a Slytherin! 

I was feeling a little animated and so it appeared on how I look.

My make-up was inspired my dad's batik shirt in which I now own. Haha! It's in blue green and blue, 2 of my favorite colors! 

COSMIC! What I wore that day:

Batik shirt from my Dad, High-waist Shorts from Levi's and Suede boots from a Korean shop in Promenade.

YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING IF YOU DID NOT NOTICE MY HAIR FIRST! HAHA! IT'S RED IN THE PICTURE BUT I SWEAR IT'S MORE LIKE STRAWBERRY BLONDE IN PERSON!
