When the parents are gone, i get to go out and play...

Hey everyone! So sorry I haven't posted in awhile but as my title says my parents were out of town this past week and that means I was able to go out and get crazy. hehe Well not really but you see am an only child and my parents are super strict on me even though I am of age to be an adult. But yeah it was nice to go out and not have a curfew, having friends over and just doing stuff I normally wouldn't be able to do. I took some OOTD's to share with you all, there's only 2 because the other days I kept forgetting to take them. But yeah my parent's are back and im back to being at home trying to fix my life but that's another story.

Ok, so the first night I went out for two of my friends birthdays. We had dinner at a nice Thai food place we have by my house. Then we took some of those super asian pictures they are called Cue pictures here and there like small sticker pictures you take in booths. There really fun to take and then you decorate them with all these random things. Below are two of the many pictures we took, they aren't one's that we decorated really but they are the ones that i liked the best.

Here is a better picture of of my outfit that day.

This is my other outfit that I took a picture of it's from Easter. I went to my cousins house because my parent's were out of town, I think it was the first holiday that I wasn't with my parent's and it was really weird to me. But it was ok because I was with some of my family. But yeah I really wanted to dress springy for Easter but it ended up being so cold that day but I tried. If the print of the dress looks familiar to one of the skirts I wore before its because it's the same fabric. My mom made this dress for me using the same fabric, I really hope I learn to sew as good as my mom because I absolutely love this dress my mom made.

So yeah since I'm back im looking forward to catching up with everyone's blogs!!! :)

going back...

Hey everyone, I know it's been awhile since I've posted, I've been staying at my cousins house in the South Bay area to help her take care of her kids while her husbands out of town. It was cool to get out of the house but I had no internet there, well I did but it was if i used my cousins laptop and I didn't want to bother her with using it. But yeah that's pretty much why I haven't posted. I have so much back reading with everyone's blogs, but I will most definitely try to catch up though! :)

So while I was at my cousin's place I didn't really dress up so I didn't really take any outfit photos. But on Friday I went to CSULB's PCN, Cal state long beach is the school i went to and PCN is Pilipino Cultural Night. The Pilipino club always throws one of these shows once every year, it showcases different dances and skits that relate to the pilipino culture. It was really nice seeing a lot of my old friends. The picture below is the only picture I have of my outfit, in the picture is one of my friends that was in the show and another one of my friends I watched the show with. I wish I had a better picture of my headband though, because it's the headband I made with the ribbon that I showed you in a previous thread that I had gotten at the swap meet.

So yeah today I went to church with my parents and I decided to take some OOTD pictures, so I went outside and tried something different with the pictures. I felt so awkward taking these pictures but these were the ones that I kinda liked. hehe But yeah it was funny because my dog was following me and since I was using the self-timer I kept running back and forth and by the time I took these photos my dog was tired from running back and forth so she's just sitting and watching me. hehe

one step at a time...

Hey everyone! So I decided to take a sewing class today that is offered at a community school near my house. I was surprised there were so many people in the class I think there was about 40 of us and about 10 machines, so I'm a little worried about that. But the instructor asked for some people to bring in there sewing machines in and said we were going to have to share machines. I'm just scared that because there is so many people in the class i might not really learn to sew, but ill take it step by step. I'm very excited to learn to sew too because my mom sews, so i really want to be able to sew like her. I can't wait till I start sewing, our first project is an apron. :)

My shoes, dress and sweater are all from Old Navy, so head to toe Old Navy except for the accessories. The belt is from the Gap, necklace thrifted, and earrings from the swap meet.

A good friend is cheaper than therapy...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. Did everyone have a great weekend? I hope so! Well, I had a nice weekend with my family and friends. It was nice to see one of my old friends Deborah this weekend, she lives in SF because she's going to fashion school. So it's always great to see her because she's so stylish, she inspires me, plus I love talking to her about everything. She's super awesome she's just one of those friends that you can talk to about anything to and then helps you out with your problems! I was just really happy to see her this weekend while she was down for spring break. I actually had yogurt with her earlier today! Well i wish i took a picture with her today but I didn't bring my camera. But yeah it was nice because I can talk to her about fashion and I actually told her about this blog and she was so supportive. Which made me feel really good to tell someone that was very supportive of it.

This was the outfit that I wore today, I didn't feel like dressing up. It was a pretty warm day today during the day but it was really cold later in the day. So that's why i wore the tights, plus I'm not that comfortable wearing shorts without them. I also had no clean jeans that's why i decided to wear shorts. :p

But yeah what I'm wearing is Old Navy both shirts and tights, vest from Ross, shorts from walmart, boots from swap meet, necklace from forever 21, bracelet from philippines and headband made by me.

Here's a closer picture of the headband I made and another one of my mahjong bracelet.

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

Hey everyone, It's St. Patricks Day! Did everyone wear green? Well I decided to post an OOTD, I went outside today to take my pictures because it was so nice and sunny. But while taking these pictures I almost got stung by a bee because you see the tree behind me there were a bunch of bee's that I didn't notices till after the first shot. The second shot I don't know if you can see but i look a little nervous. hehe But yeah it was really hot again today, I actually even put my fan on in my room today because I was sweating. :p

This headband is one that I just made recently. If you've followed my blog, I wrote about a Matthew & Melka and how I loved there headbands. One of the headbands I showed was this white headband with a white flower, this is my interpretation of it. I actually really like the way it came out. You can look at the older post here and tell me what you think about my interpretation. But yeah this is the first time I'm posting a close up picture of myself, I think I look really awkward in the picture. hehe But yeah it's the only way I could really show the headband.

Well have a great St. Patrick's Day everyone and be safe!!! :)

Oh happy day...

Hey everyone! I can't believe its the weekend already, it feels like this year is moving so fast! Well yesterday I went to a Open mike night at my school that was in honor of women's HERstory month, It's thrown by an organization that I was part of when I was in college. Their were a lot of really inspiring spoken words and poems that were said plus lots of very talented singers and performers.

Here's a close up of the bracelet. I was really obsessed with these mahjong bracelets back in the day, I have about 8 of them, and i decided to start wearing them again. But the reason why i really was into them was because in the movie "America's Sweethearts" Julia Roberts is wearing a wooden mahjong bracelet and I feel in love with it. So when I went to the philippines in search of that bracelet, I never found a wooden one but i found a lot like the one above and bought a lot of colors! hehe :)

After the open mike, my friend and I slept at our friends place in LA because we volunteered for million meals for Hati and it was at 8 in the mourning in LA, so it would be a better commute there in the mourning. If you didn't know LA traffic is the worse especially in the mourning.
But yeah it was a really fun experience, I really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful thing to see so many individuals working together for one goal. It really made this weekend start off in a great way! :) Below is a picture of the bags of food we were packing for the Hati relief and I thought what it said was cute that's why i took a picture of it!

It says, "This food is to be given freely because Jesus loves little children."

I hope you all have a great weekend!!! :)

Hello...I'm back...

Hello to all my blogger friends, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Well I know I didn't blog this whole weekend and it's because I was really sick, I got the flu bug! It sucks because I actually got my flu shot and my H1N1 shot!!! I was really sad because I didn't end up going to San Diego for my friends birthday, I had to go with my aunt and mom to Sacramento, but I still ended up just in the room sleeping and watching movies because I was so sick. :( Oh well I'm feeling a lot better now, that's all that matters.

Well I guess I kinda fail the Spring Capsule Challenge because I didn't dress up 5 days in a row because i was in pj's the whole weekend! But yeah I decided to wear my day 5 outfit today, I covered my face because I'm still getting over the flu and I hate the way I looks so I put stickers on my face. I think I'm just having one of those ugh day's, but yeah i did end up wearing my jean jacket with this outfit, I just didn't take a picture with it on.

What I wore is the dress slip from Ross, yellow sweater and necklace from Forever 21, earings and boots from the swap meet, and bracelet from the Philippines.


edit: here's a wrap up of my 5 Spring Capsule Outfits

But I got some much to catch up with, hopefully I'll be able to do everything I need to do today. Have a great week everyone!!! :)

Spring Capsule Challenge: Day 4

Hey everyone! So I've been feeling kinda sick today so I only wore this outfit for like 2 hours then went back in my PJ's and went to sleep. I really hope I don't get any worse because I'm suppose to go to San Diego this weekend for one of my good friend's birthdays (BMM where you at i might be visiting your area! hehe) But yeah im feeling a little better but I have this really bad headache, that's why I'm trying to make this short.

So yeah, this is my outfit for today, I was originally suppose to wear the shorts and the white beater and black sweater but i thought it would add something extra to use the dress for a little something extra. Then I decided to add the red belt to give it some color and this is the final result. Sorry the pictures are bad, my dad wasn't home today to I had to go back to using self-timer.

But yeah pretty much wore white beater and black sweater from Old Navy, dress from Ross, shorts from walmart, Belt from target, earrings and boots from swap meet.

I'll try signing on later tonight to go on and try visit everyone's blog and reply to some of your comments! But now I think im going back to bed!

Spring Capsule Challenge: Day 3

Hey everyone! So here is the 3rd outfit for the spring capsule challenge. I actually ended up wearing tights later on in the day because i got really cold. I decided to wear the beret with the skirt becuase libys11 from Animated Confessions suggested I wear it with my floral skirt, thanks I think it looks great plus it helped me keep warm. It was a lot cooler today then it's been the past two days, makes me worried because i didn't count a pair of jeans in my capsule and it's suppose to rain tomorrow.

I wore the skirt made by my mom, white beater from Old Navy, Jean jacket and necklace from forever 21, and beret and wedges from target.

As for today I had lunch with one of my close friends and I happen to tell her that I had a blog because my friend has a blog as well but she's a writer and I'm not really a writer. But she was asking me for the link after and I didn't really want to give it to her because I started this for me and its kinda of a place for me to express certain things on my mind. I don't know if I'm thinking to much about it but for most of you do your friends and family read your blogs? or Is it kind of a secret thing for yourself?

Spring Capsule Challenge: Day 2

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a great start of the week! Well today is the second day of the challenge and it has made getting ready a lot easier because your limited on items to wear. I love accessorizing so this is hard because I love to accessorize, for example i really wanted to wear a headband and a few bracelets I have but it wasn't on the list. hehe But yeah here is my outfit for today, yay for my dad having the week off and is able to take my picture.

On a side not it was my is funny because when i told him to take my picture again he asked me if it was for my facebook and i just agreed and said it was. hehe It's funny because my dad doesn't really know what facebook is he just hears my mom and I talk about it sometimes.

I wore the yellow sweater and necklace from forever 21, Old Navy black sweater, shorts from Walmart, boots and earrings from the swap meet, will some tights because it was windy and cold.

BTW these are actually my first pair of shorts I've owned since forever, I got them 2 weeks ago because I told myself not to feel embarrassed wearing shorts. I didn't like wearing shorts because I never felt comfortable wearing them, but i think the tights helped me a bit to feel more comfortable in them :)

Spring Capule Challenge: Day 1...

So here is my first outfit for the Spring Capsule Challenge. I was happy that it was nice and sunny today but I know it's suppose to rain again sometime this week. But for now I was able to wear the outfit without any stockings/tights on and yay for my dad taking these pictures. Sorry my hair is still wet in the picture, I was in a hurry this mourning.

I wore...Polka dot dress with Slip from Ross, jean jacket from faith 21, red belt and white beret from target, braclet from the Philippines, hoop earrings and boots from swap meet.

Oh weekends...

Hello everyone!!! I just wanted to say thank you everything that is following me, you guys are the best!!! :) Hope everyone had a great weekend! Don't you think weekends are too short? I know I do!

Well as for the weekend it started on Friday afternoon for me and I helped one of my good friends out by helping her go shopping! She asked me to help her out because she doesn't usually go shopping and she knows I like shopping and I'm into fashion and stuff. So I helped her out and it was really fun to put her in things that she would never pick out for herself and then her liking them. It was so much fun for me, and I'm happy my friend asked me to help her out. Below is the outfit I wore to go shopping...it was really cold that day because a storm was rolling in.

On Saturday it was raining very hard here and it was even hailing so I was very lazy and I stayed in with my Mom and we watched a bunch of movies. It was nice spending some time with my mom. I didn't even go online the whole day because all I did was watch movies and crochet with my mom! Yay for spending time with my mom!

Today was a much nicer day, I went to babysit for my cousin so she could have a Valentine's date with her husband. Dang I seriously have so much respect for all you moms out there, I watched my nephew who is 3yrs old and my niece that is 8 months and OMG I was so tired after taking care of them. But they are so cute and such a handful to take care of! Above is a picture of my niece and I, she's wearing a beanie I crocheted for her. You can't really see the flower that
s on it, but there's a little flower i crocheted on it.

Wow tomorrow is the start of the spring capsule challenge, I am so not ready for it! We'll see how this works out! :)

Spring is so close but yet so far...

So the weather here in So Cal is forever changing it was raining the other day and the other day it was in the 70's. So today I went to Long beach to visit some friends and I didn't know how to dress because it looked like it was going to rain but it was hot! So i decided to dress warmer because I know it's cold in Long beach because it's by the beach but i put a spring edge to it wearing my floral shirt i loved last spring. But yeah I didn't take much pictures because it's hard taking pictures in my room but my parent's are asleep already and I don't want to wake them up!

Here's my attempt to take a full shot picture of my outfit = fail!!! hehe

jeans - bitten(steve & Barry), sweater - Old Navy, top - H&M, beret - Target, boots-swap meet, bag - Mom's closet

Here's my other attempt to take a picture, I also took a picture of my boots and combined it on the corner of the picture.

PS excuse my messy room, Im doing my spring cleaning and trying to figure out what to keep and what to throw away.

quickie post...

Hey everyone! I'm just doing a quick post before I leave, I'm going to Disneyland!!! It was really last minute that I'm going. But yeah I went to like a formal dinner yesterday and this is what i wore, sorry for the pictures there not the greatest and I actually took them after. So it was kind of like 2:30 in the mourning when i took these so ehh...excuse the way i look.

dress and shoes - Target, sweater - Old Navy

This is the only way i could get a full body shot, i know there really bad quality, I had to brighten them up a lot. But the dress I got from target and the story with the dress is I really liked this dress when I saw it, but i didn't want to pay full price, so i waited till it went on sale. So when it finally went on sale($10) I couldn't find my size but i was determined to find it so I ended up going to 5 targets before I finally found one in my size. Also the dress has straps but i decided to pin them down to make it into a tube dress.

These are a picture of some of my accessories, I took a picture of my necklace but i accidentally deleted it and I gotta leave in a bit so I don't want to take another. But yeah the earrings are from forever 21 and the flower i wore in my hair I made. The necklace and bracelet, not pictured, are from forever 21 also!

Last here's a more closer clearer picture of me, kinda. Maybe ill post pictures from the event later. But yeah have a great day everyone, lets see how Disneyland is in the rain! :p

40 days...

So today was the start of Lent for those that are Catholic and I was having a hard time thinking of what to give up. I was thinking of giving up The Philippino channel aka TFC, but i seriously don't think i could do it, see I am such a fob!!! hehe But then I thought what the heck do I give up and I decided to give up Facebook games. I don't about any of you but I think I got obsessed with these games and play them whenever I'm bored and have nothing to do, which is all the time. So I felt like its something I can do without and it would be good for me to stop, I know I'm such a nerd. :p But I also gave up rice, this will be another hard thing for me but it would be good because I eat it so much. Oh yeah I also decided to give up chocolate because oh man I love chocolate. Let's see how this goes for me, it was already hard for me to sign on facebook and not check on my games. But I should be able to do it, some of my friends gave up a bunch of things like meat, spending money, internet. I couldn't give up any of those personally but I give them props for doing it.

Well anyways this is what i wore today, nothing much I took the picture right before I went to church to get ashes on my forehead, for ash Wednesday. I was actually inspired to wear something that I haven't worn for a really long time and it's the mustard yellow shirt. It's like a knit kind of shirt and it actually doesn't fit me like it used to but its suppose to fall over my shoulders and it still kinda does but i didn't get it in the picture. But yeah it was actually really hot today in california, that's why im wearing a short sleeve shirt. ps Sorry my dog Mocha was trying to get in the picture, Oh and i didn't get a picture of my shoes, I'm wearing my brown boots I got from the swap meet.

Sad movies always make me cry...

So today I went to go watch a Pilipino movie that was showing around my area called "Paano Na Kaya" which means what will happen now! It was a cute movie, a lot of Pilipino movies are corny love stories with lots of drama. But I love corny love stories with drama, so I liked it. Well I didn't like it as much as I thought i would because I think I expected more. But overall it was a good movie that i enjoyed watching. Basically it's a movie about two best friends, the girl is like a nerdy one and of coarse she is in love with her best friend. But her best friend has a girlfriend and she basically does everything for him and when his girlfriend breaks up with him she is there every step of the way and then he realizes her and they fall in love. Then they have some twist and turns in the relationship. It was actually really cute, it made me cry during those heavy drama moments. I think partly because it's my time of the month but how you can not feel the pain of the person you like doesn't see you...its like (tear) It was also pretty funny because one of my friends didn't understand tagalog so my friend and I were trying to translating during the movie. But yeah here is what i wore to the movies with my friends.

I'm wearing jeans and a sweater from Old Navy. Boots and top from Target, Jewelry from forever 21 and beanie crocheted by me.

Here's a closer more clearer picture of my top, I really love the tiers of it!

PS sorry I know my pictures suck, I'm still trying to get used to the whole picture taking and everything. Plus i usually take these pictures with self-timer and stacking my camera somewhere but im trying! :)
