I recently watched the movie Three Faces of Eve. The 1957 movie is an adaptation of a psychological case study by Thigpen and Cleckley. The main character suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality...
Goulding October
Towards the End of October: The song goes till the horizontal lines play dead, fourth shades sisterhood was born to a house they call The Dorm, built on the greenest land ever. I got my red velvet week, the lower limb module got me high till I got sick. Paola radiates in a way that is very unique to her.
I went home to DLSU last week and visited Malate Literary Folio, I was...

Slowly, Gently, the Night Unfurls its Splendor
“Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night.” Music of the Night, Phantom of the Opera
Mid-October: Just one night we gazed upon the stars, we drove by past speeding cars, the city lights...

Infinity Overhead, September
September: The wildflowers start to bloom, free-spirited as they jump in joy, while the sun gold rays illuminate the long and slender leaves of the afternoon. I cannot contain the happiness that even after a long day, I still find myself fascinated at the beauty of what is exactly framed by the window in my photographer’s dorm room.
Formed new bonds with people I’m...

White Fields

We took advantage of the early dismissal from class. Usually, people start to come by the field (situated at the back of our dormitory) around four to five in the afternoon. And since deep down I know I’m still a bit shy about this hobby of mine, I tried hard to make...
Sunday Walking Hunt

Saying hello to the early days of September. My brother Arco asked me to help him find a new pair that he can wear to a party on the 23rd. It didn’t take us long, we went straight to Sperry. I also totally dig the Hush Puppies flip flops because they are unique and so cute with the Japanese characters on them. But to...

I was pretty bored in the dorm room that my friends and I have been staying in for the last four months. Although it may appear just ordinary or guileless, my take on this is quite a success. The Johnny Depp picture I posted before this is the main reason why I went for black and white. I...

After two months of searching, I now have a photographer who is willing to shoot my look photos while we are in medical school. And yes, I will try as much as possible to update my blog every week. I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I squeeze in a little sparkle to utterly...

Sweet and Sexy
I don’t like pink that much, it would be the least of my choices when it comes to color. While people tell me it suits me, I still doubt whether I can work it. In this post, I feature items from one of my sponsors, HOUSE OF LUXE.
fuchsia paisley print silk polo (Marks and Spencer), green bandeau (forever 21), black bodycon skirt fromVaintage Shoppe, belt (forever 21)

Prim and Proper
Well at least I still get to post look photos here in my blog despite the hectic schedule in med school, and yet it’s only the first week of classes! I don’t know until when I can still manage my time between studying and blogging but for now let’s just enjoy whatever is available.
dress(thrifted), bow flats from Charles and Keith
waist belt and brown choker from Forever...
Lilac and Chartreuse
I only have four photos for this look, had a great time shooting though. We took advantage of the resort garden because it is well manicured and had a lot of interesting elements, just right for our theme. This is how minimal I can get but I can’t still wear this when I go to the mall or when I get mani-pedi, I can only imagine how people would react upon seeing me. I guess this is only...

Mini Prairie Princess
I arrived late for the shoot of this outfit. My budding photographer cousin had to push through even with less natural light from Mr. Sun. We were supposed to shoot in the backyard of the house but we decided to shoot at the empty lot since we haven’t tried it before. We really had to be careful while walking coz’ we didn’t like to step on dog or cat poop. HAHA.

Workshop #2: Suesh Makeup Workshop
I attended Suesh Makeup Workshop last May 12, 2012 at the Alabang Town Center. I have always been fascinated with cosmetics for as long as I remember. Growing up, my Aunt Lilian would be the person who influenced me best when it comes to makeup. I remember when I was a kid, I would quietly observe my aunt as she puts on her makeup before she leaves for work. During those times when she would...

The Rose Angel
What could be the best flower print, if not, the real bold print that can standout? I think it would be the rose flower. We shot these look photos during our barkada outing in Laguna last May 1, 2012. I asked my dear friend Jerick Sanchez(sounds familiar?) to take my pictures even if we’re only using my trusty digicam. We got nice shots right? HAHA.

Am I Penny Lane?
Hip and Hip and Hippie! If you’ve seen the movie Almost Famous, then you definitely know who Penny Lane is :)) I scheduled an outfit shoot last weekend during our family outing and it was perfect timing coz’ Mr. Sun gave us natural light and of course just the right heat for sun bathing.
Boho Chic is still in especially during summer season. With a tribal or aztec printed maxi...

Mr. Fritz Gerald
This is my very first feature of someone for my blog!
Here’s my super cool cousin, Fritz Villarama who also took my look photos in Nuvali last 4/15/12 :) He has a great sense of style and natural charm. I would sometimes ask for his opinion on what I’m going to wear especially when we have night outs.
Fact: He has two professional licenses, one for passing the Nurses’ Board...
If I had Gone to Coachella Festival
I am talking about the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival
The valley is thousands of miles away from home. Imagine the feeling when you get to watch Radiohead live as they give you goosies for 2 hours of awesome music, or Gotye playing the LSS song of the moment, Somebody That I Used to Know. Sadly, I have to hold that dream for another 7 years or so. For now, here’s something...
Out of My Mind
A lazy Sunday afternoon Can’t get up from my coma, in soulless stupor I wander endless aimless in my mind- Techy Romantics
Just because it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon at Nuvali last April 15, 2012 . Since mullet skirts are so in, I decided to buy one from the Heatwave summer bazaar (again, thank you Manila Shopper for including me in the guest list) . I opted for something printed...
Heatwave Summer Bazaar 2012 Day 1
Last April 13, 2012 I went to the Heatwave Summer Bazaar! I blogged about that previously here. I was lucky because I got included in Manila Shopper’s guest list :)
I was after four items only. On my shopping list, I wrote: ” 1. I definitely need a new skirt, something that’s in—like the mullet skirt. 2. over-sized top? or the one with the cutesy collar 3. a dress 4. bib...
In the Flesh

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream
There are a lot of BB creams available in the market and different brands have their own versions. But what makes BB cream very popular? BB stands for Bright Benefit cream which works as foundation, concealer, moisturizer, and sunblock. These are just few of the several functions to be named. Since I was intrigued by the BB cream craze, I went to the beauty section of SM department store. I...

I searched the net about product prices of Suesh, apparently, I discovered something else. They are conducting workshops pala!...

Kedeng Stickers
These are the coolest statement stickers!
The Story: It started when Deng Queddeng (co-owner and founder of Kedeng stickers), went to Bookay Ukay Bookstore in UP Village, Diliman, Quezon City. She got the idea of making her own versions of statement stickers from those that were being sold in the bookstore. At first it was only for kicks, she would make stickers and then give them to random...
