6.       I am a Soprano 1.

7.       I studied in one private school from nursery until I graduated from high school.

8.       I love to join all the contests in our school. Declamation, oratorical, storytelling, pageants, songwriting, volleyball varsity team, anything about art, dancing, singing, etc. A LOT, I know.

9.       It really was a total shock for me when I transferred to a State U.

16.   I always wanted to become a theater actress.

17.   I auditioned for HK Disneyland theater actress when I was 19. I almost got through but the “judge” said that I was too young to live in Hong Kong by myself. So that’s that.

18.   I love all the songs in Les Miserables.

19.   I am already taken and proud.

                    By the way, I love the color of my top. It's so cool-feeling and it makes my skin even brighter. You should also try hues of this color and see how it goes on you. Another is my lippie from Kiss Proof. I just Love how it pairs up to my outfit and how it pops out! And we shall never forget the shoes. You know what I mean. :)
I just love this look. It speaks out grown up but still playful at 22.


I hope you learned something about me. I've already stated 22 Facts about myself so I guess those summed up pretty much who I am and what I do.

Black is the New Black

          What comes out of your mind when you hear the word BLACK? Boring? Dark? Grief? Dull? Yah, those, too, were the things that comes out of my mind. Well, let's try to change that.

I've never been a big fan of Black until now. I always thought of black as being too black. Hahaha I know black is already black. Silly me. But when I tried some outfits, I started to love it.

Black is seductive and sexy but can be cute and cuddly at the same time. It depends on how you style and wear it. Like this outfit, it could be worn at lunch out with friends, kids birthday parties, coffee with your bff, dinner date with your partner, or late night bar hopping with your girls. See, black is very versatile. It doesn't always mean corporate or fancy. Remember, it will always depend on how you style and wear it.

Forever TWENTY-ONE

(Forever 21, So Fab)

          It's my birth month so it's still my birthday!(I'm claiming it!) And this is my month! Well actually everyone's month if you're born on March.:) I won't tell when my birthday is but you can check it on my Facebook and Instagram account for you to find out. Well enough with that.

You may be wondering my the title is "Forever TWENTY-ONE". Aside from my love of F21 clothes, this title also means something else. I am already 21 years old (Oh gosh! I can't believe it.. i don't like 21, right? More like 16.hahaha).
Being 21 is not that hard. Just having the pressure of graduating from college and finding that perfect job, and earning for yourself, and so on and so forth. OMG. But I do believe that this age is very crucial because it is where one decides for one's future. Do you agree with me? Yah..:)

But the real meaning of the title is that I'll "always" (but not forever) feel 21 inside and out. I would want to always look young, feel young, stay young, act young (not IMMATURE), and be fresh. Being young takes effort but development does require more work. Growing and developing is different from maturing. :)

Well, that's it for now. Keep updated for my next entry!

Young.Wild.Free.

When Boredom Strikes

(Top and Shorts from Greenhills, Caite Watch, Longchamp, So Fab)

          Everyone of us  gets so bored that we really don't what to do anymore. There are those times when we just stare at the ceiling and the walls of our house, thinking of something awesome. Sometimes, you just sit around all day, scrolling up and down, reading statuses and tweets, checking on someone's pictures (maybe your crush or that fancy outfit you want to buy), or maybe re-reading your favorite novel for the nth time. Relate? Yah, I do know how you feel. That feeling of looking forward for the weekend after a long week of school and work and then you'll just end up being stuck in the house in front of the television, wifi on, and your smart phone in the palm of your hands. I really described it too much?hahaha
Well, I just found the perfect solution for those boredom issues!

           Get up, text your friends, take a bath, put on a cute outfit, and head over to the mall.
Malls and shopping are an instant boredom killer! All you need is energy, few bucks, food, and Starbucks!


Share your boredom issues below and how you cured them!
I'd be very happy to read all about them!:)

Post VDay Date Outfit Idea

          For those who haven't yet done their VDay date due to busy scheds, this outfit is your go-to, hassle-free outfit!

If you know me well, you know that I love and adore Pink so much. So I cherry-picked this look for those Post Valentines Day dates.

It's comfy, chic, stylish, and simple. All in one! You don't need any fancy styling or any expensive clothing. But this outfit is just for those casual dates like going out for a picnic, a movie, a stroll in the park, lunch out or maybe a casual dinner date.

It's not too much but your guy will totally melt when he sees you wearing your favorite color in which you know how to wear it instead of it wearing you. Plus, you'll bloom!

Caught the Bouquet Twice

(Forever 21, SM Accessories, So Fab)

Photographed by Sabrina Villa

          Weddings always bring tears to my eyes. I don't know. I just feel the intensity of the emotions in the air and I feel like being drowned with love and ecstasy! Too much for a description? Nah..haha
Every girl always dreams of her wedding. Whether it be the traditional one, garden wedding, wedding by the beach or something adventurous, you name it! Some girls even have the year of their special day, the venue, the gown designer, the caterer, etc. Sounds like I'm describing myself, eh?haha

But whatever it is, you just gotta find The One who'll share every moment, every dream, every heartache, and every victory with you.

          So why am I talking about weddings? I'm not getting married yet, okay.:) I've attended 2 weddings at a row. Nothing so different... Oh! I caught the bouquet twice! Everyone was teasing me that I would be the next to be wed because catching the bouquet means I'd be the next bride. OMG. It's not that I don't wanna get married. It's just that I'm not yet ready.hahaha

But it was a great experience. I just wish that on the wedding of my choirmate, I won't catch or get it again.:)

          Hello! How's your weekend? Well, mine was pretty tiring but very memorable. As we all know, Pope Francis had his Apostolic and State Visit here in the Philippines. Our country was chosen t be his final visit(not forever) in Asia because we are the largest Catholic country in Asia. How awesome is that, huh?
My family and I were very much excited to see him so we watched every activity he did from his arrival in Villamor Air Base until he went home for Rome.
I cried by the moment the camera was focused on the airplane window when it touched down and I was very much awed when he finally went out the door and waved his hand to all. It was all mixed emotions so I told myself that before he leaves the country, I should see him in person.
Sunday came and my choirmates and I head on to UST, University of Santo Tomas, at 2am to attend the Youth Encounter with the Pope. I can't really express how tired we were. Just imagine this. Literally no sleep, hungry, rain-soaked, in line for hours, an amlost stampede to the entrance, and UFCed by the crowd. But you know, all those disappeared when the Pope finally made his way in front of me, waved his hand, showed his infectious smile, and blessed us.
Even though he only looked at us for seconds, it felt like forever and I saw Christ in him.

          It's very overwhelming to see him not just through the TV or the internet but in person. Ughhh.. It's a very hair-raising experience to be a part of his day.
This outfit is inspired by the experience I had. It\s almost all white and clean to the eyes. Like my experience, it was not easy but it is clean and pure for my heart.
