We all experience the feeling of sadness. It may be because your parents will work on another country just to be financially stable, or maybe not getting the thigh part of the chicken, or maybe your partner left you because of some commitment issues. No matter how big or small the reason is, sadness is inevitable.
Thankfully, we have someone or some people that’s always on our side. For me, these are my friends! Whenever I’m sad, angry, hungry, happy, or crazy they are always there for me.
This post is composed of the photos of sad teens being there for each other.
Now whatever may happen, remember that you have your friends. Through happiness or sadness, they’ll be there for you. Always keep that in mind. You are not alone, you are loved!
I want to thank all of my friends for understanding me or at least trying to. I know I’m such an extra person so thank you for being able to tolerate me. I love you all! If it weren’t for you guys, I’d probably be crazy now. *HUGS YOU ALL*

P.P.S. I think these will pass as an ad for Sunnies, what do you think??
As most of us know, June is the Pride Month wherein the LGBTQA community can be truly free to express themselves. Why? Because they are oppressed, bullied, teased, and treated like they are worthless to the society. It’s the 21st century, it’s time to accept them because they are humans too. Accept that #LoveIsLove no matter what the sexual orientation is.
This post is for the LGBTQA community especially the youth. This post aims to inspire the youth to be themselves and to tell everybody that there is nothing wrong being a part of our community.
Now, being an ally doesn’t have to mean that you’re gay, lesbian, bi, trans, etc. It simply means that you respect us. It means that you will be there to help us and fight for our rights.
We have this thing called Pride March and Pride Month to show others how we fight and strive hard for our dignity, self-worth, and honor. These are special events for us because being branded as the ‘plague of the society’, we were denied freedom to choose who we love.
Boys can like Boys and Girls can like Girls as much as Boys can like Girls. We don’t have a say on what other people are feeling, so just accept the fact that they can love whoever they want.
We are raised by rules and roles. These rules and roles limit our freedom to experiment and express. Growing up, I was told that “men must do...”, “men must not...”, “men must be...”, and it was honestly restricting me. I am here to break the gender roles assigned to us by the society.
We live in a world where tasks are assigned depending on your gender. If you can do a task, then do it. Don’t let the norms restrict you from doing so. Be a game changer and help us improve the world.
#LoveIsLove no matter who and what sexual orientation you choose. There shouldn’t be anything in this world that would restrict you from choosing the person you love. Love whoever you want to love without reservations.
Now, if other people will tell you that being a part of the LGBTQA community is wrong, don’t listen to them. Just be confident about yourself. Love who you want to love. Break the gender roles. Love yourself. If anyone thinks otherwise, Fuck their opinions. As long as you’re doing you and what you love without hurting or stepping on other people, then continue to do so.

P.P.S. June 24, 2017 is the date for the Metro Manila Pride Parade!
I know that the temperature here in the Philippines is too much! But being the ‘extra’ person that I am, I decided to wear layers on a sunny day. Also, this was the first time I styled myself outside my comfort zone. I’m really proud of this post so, continue reading to see more photos!
This is my fave outfit that I have worn so far because it’s where I got out of my comfort zone clothes. This is me being confident and not caring about the hateful comments people have to say. This is me being myself.
This outfit was inspired by Korean idols. This is probably the effect of watching too much Korean TV shows like Goblin and Running Man. By the way, I’ll be watching Legend of The Blue Sea soon. Don’t judge me. I enjoy their shows!
Also, since June is #PrideMonth , I decided to show my support by putting on a bit of make up. YUP! You read that right! I’ve put Etude House’s Dear Darling Tint for that sunburn effect. Also, I’ve put Mac’s Lipstick Please Me in Matte to color my lips a bit. MAKE UP HAS NO GENDER!
What’s your thoughts about this ensemble? Tell me!
P.S. I’m very proud of this post because I handled everything from styling, hair and make up, art direction an editing.
Photographed by our housekeeper with my directions
I am worth it.
I will repeat these words again and again.
And I won’t stop saying them.
Not until I found my self worth.
I am myself.
There is no one else like me.
I may get lost at times
Or maybe I am still finding who I really am,
But this is who I am.
And, I am proud of myself.
I make mistakes just like everyone else.
I know mistakes are inevitable,
So you have no reason to judge me.
I may have done big or small mistakes,
But what matters is that I learn from them.
Just like you,
I am not perfect.
I have been a little too hard on myself.
I have been doing things all at once
That I forgot to take one step at a time.
I have been busy building myself as fast as possible
That I forgot that it takes time to build something valuable.
I have been focusing on how to please people
That I forgot that their opinions are not important.
I won’t doubt myself anymore
Because I know it won’t do me any good.
I will be better this time around
And focus on things that matters to me.
I will learn to love myself.
I will start to do things for myself.
I won’t let my doubts bring me down.
I won’t listen to the hateful comments of other people.
I will keep on trying.
I will take care of myself.
I will live my dreams and take risks.
I will grow into something better.
Hello! I know it’s been a while since I last posted. I am happy to announce that I am back again after resting and getting my creative juices back.
I know it’s late but here’s the Part 2 of the Positivity post (click here for Part 1). Again, the purpose of this post is to give a bit of positive vibes to everyone out there. There are lot of things going on in our own life but I just want you to not forget about yourselves. We all deserve a bit of happiness once in a while. So posted here are some notes to self.
I really hope this helps you even a bit. Always remember that you are loved, important, and worth it!

This vlog was due a month ago but since I’m a lazy ass person, I was able to finish editing it this February. HAHA, that’s all. Hope you enjoy this vlog!
2017 will be the year for myself. It’s about focusing on myself and my career. It’s about making time for my passion. It’s about building myself to be better. It’s about connecting and collaborating with people and brands that share my views and passion. My 2017 started with a collaboration with Calypso (see website & instagram).
Calypso is brand that sells quality bracelets and classy timepieces. I was so shocked and happy when they messaged me for a collaboration because I’ve been eyeing their bracelets ever since I saw them.
COSMOS TIMEPIECE : SPICA
sleek. minimal. classy. It suits me, my style, and my feed. It goes along with anything and can add an “umpf” effect to your outfit.
GREEK BRACELET : ATHENS
fresh. minimal. aesthetic. It has marble beads and we all know that (anything) marble is pleasing to the eyes. It can also level up your outfit especially if your style is minimalist.
Check out their shop (click here) for more amazing pieces! And for reading this, you can use my code “RM10″ for 10% off on their items. What are you waiting for, go get ‘em!
I’m fine. I’m continuously growing and building myself to be better. I changed for myself, not for anyone else. I won’t stop changing as long as there is room for improvement.
I was aiming for a vintage-y shoot and look. This outfit was inspired by Sef (@potatosef on IG & Twitter) because that guy just slays!
We are those people you pass by on the streets.
We are ordinary people as beautiful as we are.
We are not perfect in any way.
We are made up of flaws, and that’s okay.
We are not as strong as we seem.
We just don’t let others see that we are not happy.
We are tough, but we break at times.
We don’t have a perfect life.
We face problems and we conquer them.
We don’t need to be someone else.
We are unique in our own ways.
We must love ourselves.
We are who we are.
Hello, this is the part 1 of the Positivity post. The purpose of this post is to give a bit of positive vibes to everyone out there. There are lot of things going on in our own life but I just want you to not forget about yourselves. We all deserve a bit of happiness once in a while.
Hope this post helped a bit! Love you!

My family and I decided to go to Subic, Philippines to have a 3-day vacation and made it a year starter. While having a vacation, I thought why not share my lookbook for our 3-day vacation. Read more to see my outfits.
Peace of Mind
1st outfit was worn while we were at the Ocean Adventures to see how amazing the sea animals are. We also went to the beach to get a bit tan, well in my case... to get tanner. Haha! Keeping my look light and summer-y.
Nude in The Ruins
2nd outfit was worn while we were exploring the city and going to malls. Lately, nude tones are becoming my thing.
Rock Bottom
3rd outfit was worn while we were at the beach. Like I told you, I want to get tanner. It was also worn going back home. This outfit was inspired by my idol, David Guison (see blog).
Well these were my outfits on our 3-day Subic vacation! What do you think? Tell me your thoughts about them!
P.S. I don’t know if you noticed, but I quoted Ed Sheeran’s new song “Castle on The Hill” on one of the pictures above. I’m so in happy for his new music this year because I’m a fan of Ed Sheeran!
hi!! can i ask where did you find your tumblr theme? any recommendations? thank you! happy holidays!
Hello! I got my theme from Dems (see blog) but she’s not making themes anymore. What I usually do is check blogs and check where did they find their themes. But hey, themes from here and here are nice as well. :) Happy holidays!
This post contains Christmas-y photos and some of my thoughts as their captions. Please do read the captions because they are important messages to people.
I don’t know if you experienced this year like the way I experienced it, but it was somehow unpleasant. The stress was too much to handle. Everything was just plain wrong. It was like life was playing with you throughout the year. If you experienced it like the way I did, this caption is for you.
If you didn’t experienced it like I did, this would still be for you because everyone should know this.
Sparkle
it’s the season to sparkle
Go sparkle! Dress up! Pamper yourself! Treat yourself! You deserve it for surviving this year. It’s time to build your confidence and start treating yourself the way you should be (If you’re not yet doing so). If you are already treating yourself the way you’re supposed to, then keep on doing that because that’s what you deserve!
Spirits
may your holidays be as bright as your spirits are light
The year is almost over and if you were feeling negative throughout the year, you should change that. If you were not negative this year, that’s good for you! Negative vibes won’t bring you any good. So instead of being a downer, let’s try looking at the brighter things in life. Let’s enjoy life because it’s too short to be negative.
I know some people are having a hard time finding the ray of sunshine, but I’d like to let you know that I am willing to be with you on your darkest days. I’m willing to listen to you. Just message me through mail or my social medias!
You
all i want for christmas is you... to be happy
You are important. You are loved. You are worth it! Don’t think that you’re not, and ignore those who are saying otherwise. You are good-looking and you don’t need other people to say that to you. You are needed in this world, that’s why you are here. You may feel alone and sad, but know that you’re not. Just don’t push people away and let them care for you. You are more than just a person living in this world, you are a person that can change the world itself and its people.
Hugs & Kisses
holiday hugs & mistletoe kisses
The year is about to end. If you haven’t shown your affection to the people you love yet, this is the time to do so. Show and tell them how important they are to you. Tell them how much you appreciate them for appreciating you. Thank them for being there beside you. Show them how much you love them. A simple kiss, hug, gift, message, or call would be enough. It’s time to show and tell them that you love them.
Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from The Artrepreneur. I hope you enjoy the holidays while keeping this post in mind. I hope this inspire you to do good or better! Tell me your thoughts about this (comment or message me)
This will be my last post for 2016. Stay with me as the years go by and keep an eye out for me and my posts! Keepsafe! See you next year!
P.S. You can follow me on my social media accounts
This is my latest artwork entitled “Fallacy”. This was my first time drawing on a B4 paper because I was used to small papers and my biggest canvas before this was A4 paper. This was also my first artwork that was super detailed (in terms of shading and the face details). Read more for the detailed pictures!
Also, this is my first time posting my artwork! What do you think? Tell me you thoughts about it. Stay tuned for more posts about my artworks!
P.S. The reference for the person drawn above was a model I found on Tumblr.
This was my outfit last BU12 (see post). The event’s outfit theme was supposed to be shiny/metallic/bright, but I don’t own any shiny clothes so I decided to put up this ensemble. This outfit shows my love for pastels and denims!
Sunnies : Jules from Sunnies Studios
Pink Shirt : Cotton On
Denim Overalls : Thrifted (21 Men Replica)
Belt Bag : Bershka
Shoes : Nike

I’ll forever love Pastels and Denims like I love Black & White pieces! I was the black-and/or-white OOTD type of guy, but then I fell inlove with denims and considered them as wardrobe necessities. When Pastels came, the artist in me screamed for joy because these colors are what I commonly use when creating artworks. Thus, making me love pastels pieces!
As of the moment, I’m starting to appreciate the color green (especially olive green and dark shades of green). I guess it’s a good thing since the 2017 color of the year, according to Pantone, is Greenery!
Anyway, this was my first time doing gifs so pardon me for the lame editing skillz. Lol! I hope you liked this OOTD post! Tell me your thoughts!
Since my first BU (click here) last May, I’ve been wanting to see my fave bloggers again. When BU12 was announced, I was so excited because aside from the fact that I have the chance to see my favorites, their clothes will be on sale too! That’s like hitting two birds with one stone! Here’s a post about BU12 x OLX last December 10, 2016 at World Trade Center
A week before BU12, bloggers were giving away free tickets for the said event! And of course, who doesn’t like free tickets? So I joined a giveaway hosted by Zed (see blog) and luckily, I won 2 tickets! A buddy of mine, Angel (see blog), went with me last BU11 but unfortunately, she wasn’t available that weekend for BU12. It turns out my bestfriend, Ivy (see blog), was going to the same event so I instantly messaged her about the giveaway I won and gave her a free ticket.
This is Ivy Chua and her OOTD that day.
We commuted all the way from Calamba (my place) and Cabuyao (Ivy’s place). When we arrived, we didn’t know where to go first because there were tons of people inside and we were a bit shy to approach our favorite bloggers. But then, I finally had the courage to go to Zed’s booth since he was the reason why we’re there.
Up next will be photos of me with my favorite bloggers!
Zedrik Europe (see blog) and I. I may have bought a lot of stuff from his booth. LOL! I wasn’t able to resist it because the stuff he’s selling were good and I just want them. He was sooo nice! Plus, I just adore his style because we have a bit of similarity. This is why he’s on my top favorites!
Duff Orate (see blog) and I. I really adore his style and how clean his hair looks like!
Kimi Juan (see blog) and I. Oh gosh, she was sooooo gorgeous! I love her blog with Thomas!
Thomas Caja (see blog) and I. He was so kind and approachable! Also, Kimi and Thomas were just too cute. I ship them!
Dee Gee Razon (see blog) and I. He was really nice! I like his style and maybe that’s why his clothes were easily sold out. And oh! His pictures are just amaaazing!
King Tongol (see blog) and I. Oh Man! His skin was so white! Haha! His feed are #feedgoals
Mike Miguel, more known as mikewillfly (see blog), and I! He was too cute! And don’t even get me started on his style and ig feed! Hands down to you, Mike!
Louise Delos Reyes (see blog) and I. Fab af! Gorg af! Babe af!
Mikyle Quizon (see blog) and I. He’s very nice! Hi @thestory-goes be jealous! LOL!
Kryz Uy (see blog) and I. She was busy that day because she had her book signing but still, she was nice, approachable, and GORG!
Slater Young and I. Remember him from PBB? He is Kryz’s boyfriend! Oh God, both of them are too attractive! Slater was very nice and approachable as well!
Joseph Ligero (see blog) and I. His style is really “lit”! I swear he’s just awesome. Hands down to you, sir!
Kim Cruz (see blog) and I. She was too gorgeous and charming and sexy and nice! Her boyfriend, Gil Cuerva, came by the time Ivy and I went home. Quite disappointing, but hey I met Kim Cruz!
Ida Anduyan (see blog) and I. Met this “goals” girl again! Her booth was filled with her fans, I was lucky enough to have a picture with her because she was really busy.
Cha Ocampo, the Queen of Black (see blog), and I. My God! She was so quirky and nice and cute and gorgeous and approachable. Just look at this pic and how cute we are!
While we were strolling around, I got to meet Mikha Arellano (see blog). She was my Candy Fair buddy (see post)! I missed her so much!
Okay! Back to my faves.
Michael Macalos (see blog) and I. Aside from the stunning pictures he takes and his amazing sense of style, he is really nice! He told me that my outfit and my color scheme were nice. OMG!
Chin Chin Obcena, The Primp Queen (see blog), and I. She such a doll! She’s so gorgeous and posh and my fave! I love her style!
Mark Liao, a model, and I. I wasn’t expecting to see him there. But there he was, helping Chin Chin on her booth. I don’t know if they’re a thing or not, but they are cute together! I’m a fan of Mark and his facial structure.
Lastly, here’s a family picture of David Guison (see blog), Vina Guerrero (see blog), and I! They are my parents! David was, and still is, my #1 idol and inspired me to be who I am right now. And Vina, aside from being David’s girlfriend, is really inspiring as well! I just love them soooo much!
P.S. David told me I was cute and Vina agreed. I’M SO HAPPY! CAN YOU FEEL MY HAPPINESS!!??
BU12, was overall great! I can’t wait for the next Bloggers United! Until Next Time!
Hello to you. Where are you right now? I hope you're somewhere safe. You might be miles away from me but I'm sure we will meet someday. You might be in someone else's arms right now but that's okay, you haven't met me yet. You might be in a dark phase of your life so I hope you find the light and I hope that you keep on fighting. I hope we find each other at the right time.
Just so you know, I'm still waiting for you. I'm not rushing to meet you or anything, I just want you to know that I'm waiting for you. I just can't seem to wait and show you how much I care for you or how much I love you. Right now, I'm pretty sure I could make you happy, like I have all these plans in my head on how to keep you happy or how to make you happy whenever you're not.
I promise to take good care of you and be your best partner. I've had seen situations where I would say something like "If I were your partner, I won't do that." because I think I know how good relationships work. It consists of trust, respect, understanding, and a lot of respect. I'm probably blabbering too much right now, it's just I'm excited to talk to you and tell you about my life. I hope you tell me yours too.
I honestly do hope you're happy right now. Aside from the fact that I want all people to be happy, I want you to never feel sad because it would break my heart that I didn't find you earlier so I could spare you from feeling down. I want you to know that I love you. I may not have seen you yet but I do know that I have a lot of affection for you. I hope that when we find each other, we will do our best to keep our relationship strong and full of love. When I find you, I will show you this letter (if you haven't read this yet) and show you that my feelings for you is true.
From Me, Someone who's Hopelessly Waiting for You.
I know this is a very very late post about summer, but it’s not my fault that I study in a university where we still have classes even though it’s summer vacation already. Better late than never, right??? Haha
So, last May 31, 2016 (Monday) we went to Dalampasigan Beach Resort in Quezon province and I thought why not have a mini-shoot so I could show you my summer outfits! I prepared two outfits that’s perfect for the beach or just going out. These outfits are very comfortable so even if Mr. Sun decides to give off his full heat, you’ll still feel comfortable!
First Outfit
Polo (silk) - Thrifted
Green Sleeveless Shirt or Sando - SM Department Store
White High waist Shorts - bought in Qatar
Second Outfit
Polo & Shorts piece - AMS Clothing (@amsclothingph in IG)
White Sleeveless Shirt or Sando - Uniqlo
You can partner these outfits with sandals or “mandals”, slippers, or any comfortable shoes that can match the color scheme of these outfits.
What do you think about my late Summer Lookbook?
P.S. I bought the Polo & Shorts piece from Zedrik’s (link) booth on the Bloggers’ United 11 x Passionfly.
