Miss Pastel Rose

I am a free soul, a ball of good thoughts (most of the time) and a shy person (though i look pretty scary in the outside) :3 I like people who don't judge books by its cover. And I love quiet places :> This is my secret place. Feel free to roam around. :)...

The best experience I’ve had so far in the ten months i was missing in tumblr was joining in a prestigious pageant Mutya ng Ibalong 2015. I didn’t win but i managed to go home with an award and prizes, i was Ms. Verifit 2015. Here was my message to the people who supported me. :)

A winner is someone who has gained the most values and lessons throughout the journey, the one who made a lot of meaningful relationships and came out as a new and improved person. That is why a true winner never goes home empty handed. Thank you to everyone who put their trust in me. I may not have made it to the top but i gave it my best so i have no regrets. This only means that i still have room for improvement and that this crown was not meant for me yet. I have faith in God and i know that he has other plans for me in the future. Remember, An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means its going to launch you into something great. So just focus and keep aiming. Congratulations again to the winners.  :)

Our best and last stop during our travel was the Art in Island located at  75 15th Ave., Brgy. Socorro, Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines.

Entrance fee is 500 (Adult) 400 (Stuendt) and FREE for children below 3ft. It is open from Tuesdays to Sundays from 9:30am - 9:30pm. I advice you to bring a jacket because its very cold inside and socks too unless you want to walk in the cold floor with bare feet like what i did. lol. And yes, its really cold. Also don’t forget to bring a camera (just not fish eyed lenses like go-pro because it will alter the 3D image.) :)

Other Places we Visited in Ilocos Sur:

>Vigan, Calle Crisologo (The best way to travel in vigan is through a Kalesa, you can rent it for 150php and it will take you to Calle Crisologo, Bantay Bell Tower and many more that is close by.)

>Dancing Fountains- Opens around 6 or 7pm. Needs a bit of improvement in the choice of music but we enjoyed watching it.

> Bantay Bell Tower - well preserved tower, you can go up in the topmost part to appreciate the view.

>Hidden Garden - It took us a while to find this place because it really is hidden haha! The food and the ambiance is nice, the people serving us were very friendly and welcoming :)

>Baluarte - Free entrance, the animal show was cool. Interacting with animals roaming around was very nice. However, be prepared for the scorching heat of the sun.

Places we visited in Ilocos Sur:

>Pagudpud

>Evangeline Beach Resort - which offered really bad skills in welcoming visitors, we didn’t eat in their restaurant because although the view was beautiful, there were a hundred flies everywhere and their ingredients were limited. Food was overpriced and there was no one there to welcome us, the boy just handed the menu and went off (i’m not even sure if he’s a waiter and he told us to wait for the chef because he’s late ans tarted gossiping in Ilonggo with his friend. what manners!)

>Bangui Windmills - beautiful place, very relaxing, the trek was tiring under the sun so i advice you bring umbrellas and water. They sell Vigan Empanada there which is a must try.

>Marcos Museum and Mausoleum - Nice place to visit if you want to delve into their history. Beautiful house with much preserved antiques. Quite interesting when you try to imagine living there in their shoes during that era.

> Paoay Church and Herencia Restaurant - The Saint Augustine Church, commonly known as the Paoay Church, is the Roman Catholic church of the municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte in the Philippines. It is beautiful and well preserved, no wonder people keep coming there. The restaurant is also nice and its located in front of the church. They serve Ilocos Sur’s specialty which is Bagnet, a local delicacy made from crunchy pork belly that has been boiled, hung to dry, and then deep fried.

My family and my other half went on a trip last June to Cavite, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. One of our stops was SPLASH ISLAND in Binan Cavite, the biggest water park in the Philippines. I heard a lot from it through social media and we were the ones who suggested it to my dad. When we arrived there around 9 am there were tons (and i do mean TONS) of visitors. Ang haba ng pila but somehow we made it through. We were also lucky to get discounts through showing coupons online with the use of our phones (actually we blue toothed it to each other lol) but yeah we were able to save 1,500 (i think?) and get free meals (12 pieces of barbecue if i recall properly)

We tried the Big Bamboo, Magellan’s Drop where my heart literally dropped in excitement, King Pilipit, Twisted Palms, Balsa River, Dos Supremos, (but mind you, the line took like 15-30 mins in some of them kaya babad kami sa init ng partner ko) but it was all worth it. We didnt go to the Agos Grandes because it was overcrowded, to the point na di mo na mararamdaman yung artificial wave. lol

Overall it was a fun experience kahit super effort ako maligo sa shower nilang kakaramput ang tubig </3

Its been ten months since i last visited my blog and i think its about time i explain the stuff that happened to me starting with my Asuna Yuuki Undine Version cosplay last Anigaiden 2015 at Albay Astrodome. My main reason for joining was because i wanted to meet Alodia and Liui personally and i did! They were both so nice and good looking! I was star struck! <3

We also put up a booth for our shop Albay Pancake Panda and a lot of customers came by to buy our products. 

Then i met a really cool artist named Josh Estipona, we became friends and he gave me this Fan Art made from colored Pencils, isn’t he amazing? Its framed now and i plan on putting it on my room in the future. :)

Preparing my costumes for no particular cons. Maybe Anigaiden? I'm not sure yet.

Need boots for both characters. My ALO costumes still needs wings, a proper shaded wig, and elf ears. I don't know when i'll use it but i'll just keep it with me til i feel like its time to use it. :)

[misspastelrose]

What have i been up to these days? Of course school. Lots and lots of school requirements. Nevertheless, me and my boyfriend always finds time to relax. He colored my hair btw. It's not done yet but it looks real good already :>

These look is inspired by Chrissy Costanza in her MV on Ain't It Fun. <3 Yes, the dress is the same. <3

The Thinking Cup is one of the best cafes I've ever been to. It is a Pre-world war II house turned into a library cafe. it has been repeatedly called a haunted house and their neighbors swear they've seen a red-eyed woman in white, floating around the property. But all we've seen so far are friendly staffs! Haha

The food is very affordable and delicious. We ordered green tea and lemonade for 35 pesos each. We didn't expect that the lemonade was bottomless plus the tea was in a big pot so i get to drink 3 full tea cups of tea! We also ordered very berry pancakes for around 75 pesos (not sure) and it tasted like home! The last on our menu was the chicken pasta which cost 85 pesos. It was a bit dry but it tasted okay, the serving was good for two people. Talk about SULIT! :) It is the perfect place for book lovers! I saw lots of old and new books. The book i read so far is For One More Day by Mitch Album. You can also play board games and write on their freedom board like we did.

I had a lot of fun during the Ibalong Otaku Summit 2014 ^__^ Pumunta ako dun para manood lang pero akalain mo yun, nanalo ako Best Costripper. Hihi <3

I costripped Ririchiyo Shirakiin from Inu x Boku Special Service. After the event nilibre pa ng free dinner ang mga cosplayers sa i love sisig inasal. I had a really great time :)

[misspastelrose]

I worked hard and won FIRST RUNNER-UP MS. BUCAL 2014. :) It was a good fight and all my efforts (to fix my boyish ramp and get my body slimmer) payed off. My good friends Donna Benitez and Leonard Mateos won Ms. and Mr. CAL 2014 respectively.

My other special award is Ms. Eatalia which means that we have 1k worth of food from that restaurant! Yay FOOD <3

Also, my family and friends never failed to support me. Kelvin became my PA backstage and i'm very thankful that i have someone like him who loves me very much because i know that even if i don't win a crown, i will always be the queen in his heart. 

This experience inspired me to partake in future beauty pageants and someday win another crown. I hope that i can out reach beyond my limits and bring out the best version of me.

I found an old drawing of Asuna Titania and decided to shade it.. then this happened. <3 It's an original artwork btw.

[misspastelrose]

Sorry for the late post. I've been very busy lately *sigh* anyway here's a sketch of Shiro from No Game No Life. I'd like to cosplay her soon <3

Me as Tohka Yatogami won 2nd runner up in Otakuzone Cosfest at Pacific Mall Legaspi.

I'm happy our hard work paid off. Pero fro some reason di ko feel magcelebrate. napagisip-isip ko kasi, yung pagkapanalo ko nangyari after mamatay ni Sparco...

Totoo ba talagang pag may nangyaring maganda sa buhay mo may kapalit naman na masama? Life is cruel..

Pero thank you padin at nanalo ako kasi nailibre ko mga friends ko na todo supporta saakin. :) The best talaga sila, lalong lalo na si bf ko Kelvin. Nalantad pa sa publiko yung relationship namin.

Ghad. Glarie. Umayos ka kasi next time. T__T
