Why did I move to WordPress.org?

Moved to: http://loveelisha.net/

Several years ago, I reached to the point I was having to do a lot of hand coding in HTML on Tumblr till I’ll get to my desired theme or posts and  I appreciate all that Google and tutorials has done with my Tumblr platform but then I just got tired of trying to write everything in HTML, – i have a poor eyesight. Haha! I guess this is the right thing to do. Change is always good.

[loveelisha]

I love the feeling of bliss I get when I do small things for myself. Like treating myself with a cup of tea, sit and just ponder. Watching movies on cinemas while eating my popcorn. Curling up in my bed with the thought that my Romeo is just near.

[loveelisha]

I know some are not particular about their blogging elements but I wanna share to you guys, what are some of the tools that I use and helps me to blog more efficiently.

[loveelisha]

I like the idea that somebody, somewhere is made for you, forever.

Life Lately

The past several weeks seems to blur, as I've been attempting to catch up on things I like to blog about, but then every time I find myself sitting in front of my PC, nothing just comes out on my mind. HAHA! It sucks though. 

Life lately has been all about… 

 Younger brother's wedding

Rainy days

Bought a book again.

Boyfie's late christmas gift. 

Behind the scenes with Romeo after we successfully managed a prenup shoot.

Skin care essentials.

Online shopping.

Korean foods.

“You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy.”

Anyways, have a great weekend guys! xoxo

Cloris

Finally, an outfit post! HAHAHAH! Such an unearthly to blog again after more than a month of being a quite mouse.  And really astonishing does it seems how time running faster and faster.  A quite perturbing to realize it's almost end of the year, three days from now it'll be the beginning of the next year, then two months right after I will be older.  Looking forward to hatch some birthday plans with my Romeo, fam and friends by then. 

WHAT I WORE: Top and Pompom Shorts: Oasap | Bralette: The Vogue Dgte | Shoes: Thrifted | Metallic Tats: Avabelle | Watch: Daniel Wellington

PS: Sorry for my so much "piyong piyong" kind of pose. Haha! Just doing some sort of dramatic pose.

The art of getting by

I've been filling up my closet with all sorts of printed matter, though most of them are florals when I have told myself to invest in plains and basic wears before holidays. HAHA! I just can't get enough of them. 

This is just a quick outfit post after I went to church. A friend of mine was just so generous to take a picture though I am not completely in the mood, but then he just made it easier for me.

Writing Process: A Blog Tour

So, I was invited to participate in this blog tour by Alissa of The Wallflowers Secrets (a blog you should read if you aren't already), which is a fun way to introduce more about yourself, the things you opted to do and what not. This tour asks you to answer a few questions, so I guess I had better start.

1.  What am I working on? 

Right now, I am working on some awesome topics for my future posts here on my blog. e.g. do it yourself, outfits/sponsored posts and some random stuffs. I have been so busy lately that I couldn't find some time to posts about it though. I hope some more energy and creativity rubs off on me and my blog.

2.  How does my work differ from others of its type/genre? 

Love Elisha is a personal/lifestyle kind of blog, so most of my topics are based on my personal views and experience. I also don't want to bore my readers with so much information about my personal thoughts, rants and related stuff, so I also post other things like sponsored posts and reviews. My work has just differed from the others in the sense that we don't have exactly the same experience and no one walks through life each day that are completely similar.

3.  Why do you write what you do? 

I write what I do because I just want to share something about myself, what I'm thinking about, fun stuff, passion and experience and even much want to communicate that same feeling to others. Trying to bring some balance with this kind of life and an outlet to express myself rather than keeping it. Another reason was that, in a year or so I can see how I developed as a person and even back read what you felt and saw last time.

4.  How does my writing process work?

I usually think of a topic then eventually write down my thoughts about it into words, but I don't write it down on a paper. Most of the time, I type and draft it directly on my page or my phone using my notepad and more of editing, reading it aloud and go. Then I like to take pictures and build the rest of the post around, hit publish and done! 

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”

With instax around,

Your life will be more fun. Been eyeing for this baby Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 for such a long time and I just can't explain how much I am excited to use this for my next adventure with my love ones and friends. 

I used various kinds of cameras, like Digicams, DSLR and phone cameras, but still instant cameras can't really be replaced. The excitement and amazement you feel every time you are waiting for your picture to be developed. It can print credit card sized photos and retain the classic instant analog look that everyone loves - Polariod's little brothers! Hahaha! Urgggh! 

I actually owned a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 and I've been using it for a quite some time already before I got this Mini 25, but then 7 is quite bulky to use and having hard time to put it on my bag. You need to pull-out the lens before taking pictures. Mini 25 is actually an upgraded version of Instax Mini 7s wherein most of the settings are already automatic at the same time.

It's okay

Pain comes in all forms. In the small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain, and the normal pains we live with everyday. Then there’s the kind of pain that you just can’t ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else. It makes the rest of the world fade away until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. We ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, run from it, and for some of us, the best way to manage the pain is to just push through it.

The important thing is to not be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that every day won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember that it is only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you home.

Goodbye September, Hello October!

"The sweet calm sunshine of October, now warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold. The pur0ple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold." -   William Cullen Bryant

How time flies so fast is just one of the life's wonder and I couldn't thank enough for all the blessings that the Lord has given to me and every wake-ups that give me the chance to spend time more with my love ones.

Looking back, I had a beautiful and tough moments of September and here are some of them, in bullets:

55Went to Danasan Eco Adventure Park, Danao City, Cebu with my dearest boyfie and bestie. First time I was able to ride a horse and   all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and it was really fun!!!

Happy about the thought that I have my own room and I can decorate and design it whatever I want.

Was able to surprised my boyfriend on his birthday. Prepared a party for him and sent a gift. Hahaha! I really love surprises, like he never thought I could do something for him for the first time.

Wasn't able to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with him since I couldn't got the chance to be there because we are somewhat miles apart.

Collaborations and sponsorships.

New followers and sweet messages from fellow bloggers.

I think these are the top of my list and I'm looking forward for an awesome month of October! Hoorraaay! But I don't expect much about it since I would be more busy since "ber" months are just extremely busy for the kind of work that I'm into.

WHAT I WORE: Top: Thrifted | Jeans: Yesfor | Necklace: Orelia and Nixywang | Boots: Marisse

PS: Follow me on instagram: @iamelishabeth and mention me for a followback. Mwaaah! ❤

Have a lovely month everyone! xoxo, Elisha.

Longing for Sunshine

I don't usually veer towards a dress that brings so much attention but I am pretty excited to wear this white crochet cutout maxi dress that I got from Lookbookstore. Featuring self-tie crossback adjustable straps, lace crochet detailing at front , V neckline and elastic band waist.

The weather is not really good when we took these pictures, it was gloomy, less sunshine and I even pray that it wouldn't rain at that moment. I felt so uncomfy but I just need to go on and expect some uncertainties then.  Oh I thank heavens! I started loving the feeling of sunshine on my skin. I started longing for the scent of warmth and I enjoyed just sitting around, raining for days now and it feels so lonely.

I am not really on my best state lately and I really blame the lack of sleep almost every night and how ironic i love to sleep but i can't sleep that early. Hahaha! And even worst, my mom keeps on changing the position of my bed that made me more uncomfy. If some moment that I don't have some errands, I would rather spend the whole day sleeping.

WHAT I WORE: White Dress: Lookbookstore | Flower Crown: DIY | Boots: Marisse | Necklace: Orelia

I hope you fall in love with someone who never lets you fall asleep thinking you’re unwanted.

#Selfie

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I am in love with this not-so crop top and dream catcher necklace I got from the SU hibalag thrift shopping haul I did. Bought it a few weeks ago during Silliman University Founder's Day Celebration and am so glad that at last I found one 'coz I was looking for it for such a long time. HAHA!

Then my new fave chiffon dolphin shorts from Lookbookstore featuring an elasticized waistband with drawstring closure and crochet hem. Some things that I like about this short is that it's lightweight, stylish and will hardly take up any room in your carry-on bag. You can dress them up with heels and flats or wear them casually with ankle boots and cute sandals.

So yeah, expect some outfits soon here, wearing this kind of shorts again. Hehe! 

WHAT I WORE: Top and Necklace: Thrifted | Chiffon Dolphin Shorts: Lookbookstore | Boots: Marisse

âme Soeur, meet Blanche

Meet Blanche, one of the great and pretty person I know lately, not just in words but in real. I can't exactly figure it out of how we became friends, but that moment we first communicate each other we had this same feeling that we need each others company.  I love the fact that we always keep on supporting each other even though we really never get the chance to see each other mostly.  

A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact, or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched. A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise. or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies.  A friend is like a heart  that goes strong until the end. Where would we be in this worldif we didn't have a friend.

Instyle Events Café

[loveelisha]

Stopped into this place for a not so late warm afternoon with a friend as we are in search for a place to hang out. And I really love love a place where I can see something dainty, full of bright colors that can flip someone’s bad day to one full of smiles and quiet.

Instyle is the one of the closest coffee shop to my office and I’m just happy that I got the chance hang there when I’m looking for a good frappes.

I wore simple outfit that day, a dress from Mixed berry and watch from Daniel Wellington.

Ordered my fave desserts, Mango Crepe and Mochacinno. It was presented nicely as you can see and not so awfully expensive. They’ve got so good desserts and snacks really! But then I never got the chance to take a picture of their menu. Hahaha! Oh, yeah next time.

Instyle Event Cafe is located in Hibbard Ave., Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental owned by Jansen Tans. Just beside Tanzy Tristan Salon.

PS: Sorry for my not so good quality pictures as I’m just using my phone’s camera for this. Hahaha!
