BABY I'M YOURS


I went out with my friends last weekend for a short trip to Nuvali, Tagaytay. It was my first time to go to Nuvali so it was pretty awesome. On the way we were all taking turns with spinning a song from our iPods to create the perfect road trip playlist. Everything was really refreshing; there was a tiny glimpse of the rainbow hiding in between the clouds. The whole moment felt like I was inside a Tumblr dashboard. In short, it was really fun!


We took the P30/person-boat trip that lasted for 10 minutes. Not bad at all!


That Crystal Castles album pose.


Then we played Willar's "Shake, Shake, Shampoo" on the grass with our socks on! I was wearing my 4-inch boxer shoes so I had to take them off. Then everyone else did :)


Willar is a good bubble-blower.


LOL WTF IS THIS CHEESY PHOTO
Friends forever moment!


We ate in Gerry's Grill and ended up paying around P250 each. It was a very expensive meal for poor kids like us.


We went straight to Fete festival after. It was also really cool; I ended up dancing almost the whole night. I wish I could show it to you but no one was taking photos anymore. I miss my camera very, very much.

Photoshoot & some 80's.

Last summer, I and my newfound good friend Anton Aguila went to his place to do little shoots for his portfolio (and for my blog! lol). He's a very nice and talented guy who dreams big of becoming a professional photographer one day. I'm sure it won't be too long before his dream catches him! We roamed around BF Homes in Paranaque with my big suitcase to look for a good spot that will match my clothes. His photos look really good and I'm very very happy with the outcome.

I'm a terrible model, I know. It may not seem like it but I always get shy in front of cameras. If I could just always look away when someone takes a photo of me, I will. I just let my clothes speak for me and the emotions I want to convey. Check them out!


In other news, I watched Rock of Ages last night and it was so terrible! It's like watching a more adult version of Glee. The main characters were too beautiful and clean-looking for a film about one of the best rock eras of all time. It's strange though because the film gave a lasting effect on me! My current playlist is full of 80's rock ballad anthems that my Mom used to play on a Saturday morning when I was kid. I was listening to this while on a cab on my way home and I couldn't help feel like I was a character in Ryan Gosling's "Drive". Anyway it gives me so much good vibes; you may like it!

HEART ATTACK: The Emergency Room Party


Last Saturday night (6/9/12) was the first of the MLA OTHRGRND parties that will be happening this year. Manila Otherground is the new Manila Underground where the underground kids and Manila's society bigwigs meet in the middle to party. It also holds fashion brands such as Proudrace, Paradigm Shift, Nixon Marquez, OS, and so much more. 

The first party was inspired by Karl Leuterio's birthday. Before he became Gold Dot's shoe designer, he was a nurse! We all dressed up as the people you meet inside the Emergency Room. DJ sets from Ansey, Me, and Badafpunk.

We took this set a few weeks ago. It was so difficult to take photos in Malate and almost everywhere else in Manila. If guards found that you're taking photos with a professional camera (like DSLR), they'd ask you to put it away because you're in their "private" properties. Either taking a photo of a person behind the "private" property or taking a photo of the actual property, both are not allowed. It's so different compared to other countries where they would allow you to take photos almost everywhere. Anyway we managed to take photos secretly inside 7-eleven with Edric's disposable camera, then we went around and found a good spot in Malate to take photos where there were no guards.

By the way, sorry if I haven't been posting anything new for a while.

The past three weeks had been really messy. I haven't been back to normal yet since after the second Lady Gaga concert. I got displaced from home because of territorial issues. I transferred from one hotel to another for the past two weeks. Now I'm currently staying in with my parents. I want to divulge all my hatred and my deep sadness in this post right now but it's just too sensitive and heavy-even for me. 

I'm just hoping that things will go back to normal really soon. It's becoming so hard to pretend being happy.

BLOGGERS UNITED 3


Bloggers United is back for the third time!

It's the time of the year again where the people you only see online come out of their virtual worlds. The last two Bloggers United was so much fun and I bet this year's bazaar will be three times as good as before. The location is even getting bigger and bigger each time! I heard there's even an international blogger flying in so that's pretty exciting.

I'll be selling a lot of my pre-loved clothes and shoes between P50 - P1500. I'm a little unprepared because I'm juggling so many tasks right now but I'll try to come up with surprises for tomorrow. See you guys x

It will start at 11AM. Try to be early so you can snag the good pieces first!
