Where: Days before the board exam, I decided to take some time out with my granny and boyfie. Had fun with our roadtrip at Antipolo, my mind was refreshed. Ahhh finally, away from those reviewers! Haha
What: Eversince, I always wanted to look like a “dalaga”, I was always mistaken for an age lower than my true age. In search of an outfit that would make me look like one, I found my mom’s old romper jumpsuit! And tadaaaah…
Board exam is over, I hope I’ll find more time to be active here on Tumblr. Annnnnd I hope they bring the results out immediately, because it gives me mini tachycardias.
Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers ( non-negotiable, positivity is cool ☺)
Wooow! Thanksss Lorica ♥
1. The first and probably the thing i like the most about myself is being friendly. I easilly make new friends either personal or online (mostly here on tumblr). Yay!
2. I always stay being a proton.
3. Not letting toxic people get in to my nerves and….
4. forgiving them even they don’t apologize.
5. Having a good spiritual relationship with the Lord.
Another “I don’t have anything to wear” day again.. I’ve worn this dress before but since I’m a great repeater (my closet hasn’t been decluttered yet and I haven’t bought new clothes bec i don’t have bucks), I’ll just wear it again!
Where: My mom went back home for a business trip, we’ve met at Century Park Hotel.
What: I've put up so much time for my hair to look nice for today, and I'm very happy with the result. The black bandana goes well with my "Think Pink" theme
| Bandana- bangketa finds • Stripes long sleeve dress- thrifted • Dollshoes- Solemate, SM Dept. • Pink bag- CMG |
I'm sorry for being MIA this past few months, after the graduation rites... I've been engaged with my board review classes. Yep, I'll be taking the PLE this coming August!! Please include me in your prayers :)
I tend to be impulsive when it comes to changing my phone case, perhaps I’m already a “phone case addict”. I get bored easily, I could not commit to only one design- that I’ve shopped for 6-7 cases for my old phone (Samsung Note 4) but it was snatched last year. Now that I finally got my new phone, I challenged myself to dress my phone up without having to spend too much money. Had I known that I could make my own “changing” case before, I wouldn’t have gone obsessed with buying phone cases online.
What you need:
Blade or just use cutter if you have one at home, it’ll be much easier
Ruler & Scissors
Designs. You may use photos from magazines, mine was printables from the net
Clear Case
Instructions:
Measure the dimensions of your phone case (for printables), trace the phone case (for photos from magazines). For Iphone 7 users, 5.31 inches (length) and 2.5 inches (width)
Cut your template or outline.
3. Place it inside the phone case, trace the camera’s hole and cut it out.
4. Enjoy your new set of cases.
Now I can choose any design that can match my outfits. If I have #OOTD, why not have #COTD as well?
Keep your phone looking good as you, with this DIY interchangeable case. Happy Crafting guys!
2017, I know you’re going to bring me hardships, stress and you’ll give me thoughts that I won’t make it…. Let’s look back, I made it through 1997 until 2016- what makes you different? I’ll pass you through as well. I am stronger than you think.
Another year has arrived and I really don’t know how to feel about this because this year can either make me or break me. I mean with the thesis and other requirements, graduation then boards after. Thinking about these stuffs give me chills, asking myself “what if i didn’t make it?” or “what if i fail?” but I will not dwell on those thoughts, I will always choose to stand strong, have faith in myself and of course to My Forever Faithful God because His’ grace will always be sufficient for me.
Hoooray for my frist post this year!! May God bless you with wisdom, peace and happiness this year. Happy 2017 guys!
Because school days is over… I have more time to go out and be active here on Tumblr. Today was totally unplanned, was invited by Madi (my college bff) to accompany her to her ortho and of course gala day before she go home to her hometown for Christmas season.
I know now isn’t the good time to wear tank tops because of the cold Christmas weather but who cares? I rocked it anyway! (but in reality, I was feeling cold because it was also raining hahaha)
What:| Tank top- thrifted • Black caged bra underneath was a gift from my cousin • Shorts- Levi Strauss & Co (thrifted) • Boots- thrifted • Watch- Unisilver • Knot Ribbon- Girl Shoppe, Pop Culture Trinoma • Drawstring bag- Mytote Ph |
Woaaah woaah there’s only 6 days left before Christmas! Where did 2016 go? Time flies so fast, can you feel the Christmas spirit already? Colorful Christmas lights, cold weather and children singing Christmas carols, with all of these- have you bought Christmas presents for your loved ones already? Here’s an idea... Pouches/ Drawstring bag/ Tote bag from Mytote Philippines!
Initially, I was just buying something for myself but when I saw some of their’ designs.. I immediately thought of my cousins who I think would love those. Here are some of the items I bought from Mytote Ph...
They use high-quality cloth with high-quality prints in the 3 products they offer. They also have lots of design to choose from and you could actually have your own customized design (with additional fee).
Drawstring bag size: 13in x 16 inches
Pouch size:6.5 x 5 inches
Tote bag size: 15 x 14 inches

Originally, we’ll be having a meeting for our thesis + we’ll be performing some of our biologicals and in the evening we’ll go to Liwanag Park but today didn’t go as planned. Turned out it’s not our blessed day, some unfortunate things happened. Well, except for having a time to shop gifts for my inaanaks and this vintage-y wall we’ve passed through.. A photo opp of course!!
I am officially loving my new hair, never thought full bangs and curly hair would go perfect together. I went for a simple lightweight outfit for today and paired it with my new pair of flats (an early Christmas gift from my boyfie) because I am so inlove with the color, hence the title.
I can’t hide the fact that I’m obviously a pet lover. I own 3 dogs- my bestfriends, my daily dose of happiness, my stress relievers.

Before anything else, thanks for tagging me @skeithtles. I didn’t expect this, because as you may notice I rarely post stuffs here but I’m looking forward to meet more bloggers. Here’s the answers to your mind-boggling questions Keith...
1. What do you fear most?
Failure. What do you expect with an only child growing up with strict and demanding parents? When I was still in grade school up until now, I always make sure to get high grades, to stay on the list of honors... Only to get “eto lang?” / “muntik na yung *insert subj here* ha!”, knowing that you did your best. Well, maybe this is also the main reason why I became a bit GC. I fear failing and not being enough. I fear what others might think of me if I fail.
2. If you’re given a chance to go back in the past, what would you change and why?
I would go back to my childhood years- when my parent’s marriage was on the rocks and decided to call it quits. I should have talked to both of them and let them realize that they need to keep our family intact.
3. What makes you tick/motivated?
My goals in life and recognition from others.
4. Where and with whom do you see yourself ten years from now?
In a hospital wearing a coat and stethoscope.... with some patients? Hahaha! Honestly, it’s all that I can picture..
5. How would you describe your present life?
My present life is full of stress but still highly favored and blessed.
6. Are you in favor of the K-12 program? Why? (Nothing. I just want to know your side about this since I’m an Educator)
On this issue, I’m really uncertained. It has both adv & disadv. First off, let’s be realistic... how about the Filipinos who can’t afford or striving hard for quality education because of poverty and adding two more years as Senior highs would add burden to them. For the adv, as far as I know K-12 aims to prepare Filipino students to produce a highly efficient work force and professionals. If benefits outweigh the disadvantages, why not?
7. If you met your 13-year old self, what would you tell her?
Hi 13-year old Aiah.. Please be careful to whom you’ll give your heart to because you’re vulnerable and fragile.
8. How do you cope with pain, failure and loss?
As I’ve said failure is what I fear most... The good thing about these 3- pain, failure and loss is you could choose how you see it... You could look at it as “2012- the end of the world”, kidding aside... you could see it like your world falls apart. Or you could simply choose to look at it as a learning experience. Maybe the latter is how I cope up with pain, failure and loss. I choose to find the lesson behind those experiences.
9. What’s your ideal kind of relationship?
My ideal relationship is something that brings me more happiness than stress. Relationships aren’t always a walk in the park, it may come off as a bumpy roller coaster ride.. I want a relationship with someone who would choose to make our relationship work despite of the bumpy road. A relationship where we both give each other space/ doesn’t suffocate each other because we know that the world doesn’t revolve with only the two of us- but still have time for each other. A relationship with someone I could trust and be comfortable with. Someone who wouldn’t hinder my spiritual growth and my goals- a relationship with someone who would support me.
10. If your life was a song, what would it be and why? You could site some lines if you want to.
THIS GIRL- Nikki Flores; I remember this song used to be my BGM on my first Tumblr account during my high school days. I wouldn’t explain anymore because the song says it all. Here are lines from the song....
And this girl's seen a lot of pain
But this girl's gonna smile again
She knows that a flower grows every time it rains
And this girl's got a lot of dreams
She knows that tomorrow's ain't what it seems
She might not solve a mystery tonight
But this girl's gonna be alright
11. Why do you blog?
I started blogging way back 2010- and it served as my personal journal to keep track of my memories and experiences digitally and this is also the reason why I blog.
The questions below are for @ryssmulan @gelltan @senesereia @sheiscrazyesha @cmsg-writes @beautiful-ungrateful @glazednights @gerimagsakay @gazillionththoughtbubble @adayinthelifeofrie @jilliannoreen. These questions are totally random because I can’t think of any better...
1. What would be the hardest thing for you to give up on?
2. What do you do with your free time?
3. If given a chance, who would you want to say sorry to and why?
4. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest. How happy are you?
5. If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for?
6. What is your least favorite thing about your self? Why?
7. What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?
8. Who would you want to write a letter to? Write the letter.
9. If you punch yourself and it hurts, are you too strong or too weak? (I just read this somewhere, and I was mind-blown)
10. Tell me about something you regret?
11. It’s your last day here on Earth, how would you spend it?
From the rocky coast line of Burgos, Ilocos Norte is where you can find this pristine, stunning, smooth white rock formation. It’s really awe-inspiring, Ilocos is really rich in natural high lights! Can you imagine, this jewel is an amazing masterpiece of nature on its’ own? This was sculpted by the roaring wind and waves over time. Wow, we really have Splendid and Amazing God who made this all happen.
As per Ilocano word, kapurpurawan means white. Well, no wonder why it is named that way. The rock formations are indeed smooth and creamy white! It’s not just the rock formation that will catch your eye.......
There’s the roaring sea waves splashing all over the rocky coast line and....
the ever famous wind mills of Ilocos are also seen around the area.
There are lots of places to be visited in Ilocos, and you shouldn’t miss this one in your itinerary. Horse back riding is also available around the area. I suggest wearing glasses, caps and bringing water as well.
As soon as I see Calle Crisologo of Vigan Ciy, I immediately thought of my vintage-y outfits. It was definitely the place I’ve been looking for to flaunt my vintage-y OOTDs. It brought me back to the times of our country, like those I’ve read in some history books. Visiting our very own Vigan City wouldn’t give you a second thought why it was one of the 7 Wonders of the World, it was really mesmerizing.
To bring you back in time, here’s a few info about the world’s well-known heritage village in Vigan City:
1. Calle Crisologo is more than 500-meter long filled with Spanish style houses.
2. It is also known as the area of businesses and rich families during the Spanish time.
3.The “calesa” is the major mode of transportation during the Spanish time. Horse-drawn carriages is still used today in Calle Crisologo.
Do you want a flashback from the old times? Or you want to see Spanish colonial architecture designs? Calle Crisologo is the best place that would meet your expectations. I hope every Filipino would be eager to visit our very own history-rich destinations as much as they do to other countries.

Hindi ko alam kung tama bang pinagtagpo tayo ng tadhana. Hindi ko alam kung ano bang balak nito sa atin. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong sumakay at hayaang dalhin ako nito sa lugar na sa tingin niya para sakin o gagawa ba ako ng sarili kong pakpak at lilipad pabalik. Palayo sayo. O gagamitin ko ang aking mga paa at lalakarin ang distansya sa ating iyong nilikha. Hindi ko alam kung paano bang umabot tayo sa ganitong sitwasyon. Hindi ko alam, paano bang nagsimula ang lahat? At kung paano ba ito matatapos, hindi ko rin alam.
Pero isa ang alam ko, gusto kong mahalin mo rin ako. Mahalin mo ko katulad ng pag mamahal ko sayo. Mahalin mo ko higit pa sa pagmamahal ko para sayo at sisiguraduhin kong hindi ka mag sisi. Hinding hindi magsisi dahil sa bawat araw na dadaan sa ating dalawa, ipapangako ko na pagpapaguran ko ang bawat patak ng iyong pagmamahal. Tatakbuhin ko gaano man kahaba, wag na wag mo lang tatapusin. Ipapangako kong hindi ako kakapusin. At kung pagod ka na, hayaan mo’t bubuhatin kita. Ipapasan kita hangga’t matapos ito, hanggang sa marating natin ang dulo. Huwag ka lang sumuko, huwag ka lang tumalikod, huwag mo lang akong iiwan dahil mahal, baka hindi ko makayanan.
Hindi naman ako madamot ngunit ipinagtataka ko kung bakit pagdating sayo, gustong gusto ko ang magdamot. Ang sabi nila hindi daw dapat selfish ang pagmamahal pero bakit ganito ang nararamdaman. Bakit may sakit at hinagpis sa tuwing atensyon mo’y wala sa akin at nasa iba nanaman. At kahit anong pilit kong baliin ang maling damdamin, at ito’y kimkimin, hindi magawa hangga’t ikaw ay wala sa akin. Sabi nila sobra na, magtira naman daw ako para sa sarili, ngunit ang tanong ko may sobra ba pagdating sa pag-ibig? Sabi nila tama na daw pero kahit kailan hindi naging kasama sa pagpipilian ang pagtigil. Ey, bi, si, di, at kahit ano pang letra iyan ay pangalan mo lang ang nakasulat. Paano ako makakahinto kung walang makakapigil? Sabi pa nila, ang tanga tanga ko daw, pero anong magagawa nila, mahal kita, tanga na kung tanga pero estupido, mahal kita. Labis labis, walang kayang tumutol kahit anong hinagpis.
“Namimiss ko na siya.” Apat na salita. Labing anim na letra, dahilan sa pag sabog ng bulkan, pagbuhos ng malalakas na ulan. At akala ko halik mo lang ang kayang magpatigil ng oras, ngunit bakit pati ang apat na salitang iyan, mas malakas at mas mabagsik, hindi lang oras kundi ang lahat ay tumigil. Bakit kasabay ng paglabas sa iyong mapupulang labi, ang apat na salita na iyan na tila mga itak, tumigil at nayanig ang buong mundo, huminto ang mga tao sa lahat ng kanilang ginagawa at kahit ang mga planeta ay nagsipagtigil ng pag-ikot sa araw. Apektado ang lahat. Pero hindi, mali ang aking iniisip, kaya kahit alam ko na ang sagot itatanong ko pa rin. “Sinong siya?” sa katahimikang nagdaan, ilang dasal ba ang aking nasabi, sabihin mo lang ang pangalan ko. Ilang santo na ba ang aking natawag, huwag mo lang banggitin ang pangalan niya. Pakiusap, mahal, huwag naman. Gagawin ko ang lahat, huwag lang ang pangalan niya. Ibibigay ko ang lahat, sabihin mo lang ang akin. Ngunit hindi ata sapat ang lahat ng dasal sa katahimikang iyon dahil hindi mo man sinabi ang pangalan niya, sa isang salita na binitiwan mo ay nalaman ng lahat na siya nga ang tinutukoy mo. “Siya.” Ibang klase pala ang sakit. Tila isa-isang nagbagsakan ang mga planeta, at ang mga shooting star na inaabangan ng lahat. At ang ulan ay bumuhos kasabay ng matinding kulog at kidlat na nakakatakot. Ang lahat ng ito ay walang awang binasag at dinurug-durog ang puso kong umiiyak. Akala ko hindi niya kakayanin ang delubyong nagdaan ngunit unti unti itong bumangon, tumibok at sinigaw ang pangalan mo kasabay ng sunod-sunod na pagtulo ng mga luha ko.
Alam kong nagsimula tayo sa mali, hindi ko man maamin noong una. Pero ngayon alam ko na. Mali ang ating naging simula ngunit nakikiusap ako sayong hayaan mo akong itama ang mga bagay na dapat itama. Huwag natin itong hayaang matapos din sa isang pagkakamali. O ito ba’y mali? Alin na nga ba ng tama at alin ang mali? Nabubulag na nga ba ako ng pag-ibig? O binubuksan lang nito ang aking pag-iisip? Na siguro nga tama sila, siguro nga ay sobra sobra na. Sobra sobra na ang naibigay ko pero bakit para sayo’y kulang pa rin?
Tatlong araw. Nagbigay ako ng tatlong araw, baka sakaling maisip mo na nagkamali ka. Nagbakasakali ako na baka ako naman talaga ‘siya’. Tatlong araw akong humiling na sana’y maliwanagan ka. Ngunit sa tatlong araw na iyon ay may tatlo rin akong natutunan. Una, hindi magiging masaya ang dalawang taong nagmamahalan kung may nasaktan silang isa. At sa sakit na naidulot ko/natin sa kanya na hindi matutumbasan ng isang patawad, gusto kong sabihin na pinagbabayadan ko ang lahat ng sakit na iyon. Pinagbabayadan natin ang lahat ng iyon. Pangalawa, tama pala sila, may sobra sobra pala talaga pagdating sa pag-ibig. Ang akala ko dati ay hindi ko na kailangan ng sarili kong pagmamahal dahil kaya mo naman punan ang lahat ng ito ngunit mali ito, may mga bagay palang hindi kayang punan ng pagmamahal mo at ang kaya lang na bumuo nito ay ang aking sarili. At pang huli, ang pag-ibig na nagsimula sa mali, kahit anong pilit, ay kailan man hindi magiging tama. Ngunit hindi pa naman huli ang lahat, marami pa tayong oras para magsimula ulit. Hindi man ngayon pero sa tamang panahon. At kung hindi man tayo ang para sa isa’t-isa, isa lang ang hiling ko, na ikaw ay maging masaya, kahit na sa piling ng iba.
Mahal, tatapusin ko ito ng tama. Kahit hindi madali, kahit masakit. Hindi ko na ipipilit, mga mata’y ipipikit. Ngunit wag mong iisipin na ako’y tumigil, dahil hindi ako titigil. Mamahalin kita hanggang sa huli.
Lahat ng ito ay para sayo. Para sa unang babaeng nagbigay sakin ng kakaibang damdamin. At nagturo sa akin ng maraming aral.
