Hey, goodmorning. We watch the sun come up, it’s calling, how about another day with you?
This song was released way back in 2009 by British Recording Artist, Example. Its dance-pop and hip-house in genre; makes me feel relaxed and calm with its symphonic beats and atmospheric tune. Listen to it, hopefully you’ll like it.

Much has happened over the past week, that I can’t seem to remember specifically what occurred unless I try to write down things again. Most of the time, I find myself in a speeding lane of headlights and happenings, and it’s seldom this trip makes a quick stop somewhere for me to breathe.
Do you feel that too? Or is it just me, that things seem to be happening faster and time is just passing you by?
Two things I’ve learned and come to accept, which I think will stay constant for a while:
First, time will never stop, no matter how much you want it to pause. When you’re in that moment, where everything feels alright and happy, savor it, because it will never happen the same way again. When you decide on giving up, everything else around you will still continue on moving forward so its either you keep up with it with your own phase, or die.
Second, we all move in our own phase. Life is not a race to becoming the best, because seeking that title means death because there is no such thing. I have to constantly remind myself not to put too much pressure on my being because it is important for one to accept that we do not have to be like everyone else around us.

Here’s my song choice for this post. It’s another recent favorite of mine which I played over and over last week because it’s definitely good vibes down my spine with it’s upbeat lyrics and rhythm. It’s just as if I’m cruisin down the road on my way to the beach. I picked this track up from the guys(Gelo, Arvin, Danty & Paolo) last Sunday on our way to Greenbelt for dinner after just arriving in Manila. These boys have good taste in music, I got a lot of awesome tracks, and I’ve been making them my post titles.
I’m not everything you want, I’m just a tease, maybe a matter of touch… With your high heels on, you killed the sun.”

I still haven’t had time to think, or maybe I just subconsciously chose not to make time for myself in order to avoid reflecting on certain things I have to face sooner or later. It’s not just about the recent happenings over the past week, but maybe more so of the things I was looking for over the summer. I’m faced with a ton of school projects already, upcoming events and gigs, I have to converse to people most of the time and when I’m at home I just face the internet and resort to music. At the end of it, I still wonder when will I ever make time for myself and just stop for a moment and think without anything distracting me at all.
Music has been my greatest drug these days, what would I ever do without it? Next to it comes a list of several other synthetic sensations with temporary but effective effects that has been my way of coping up. Unlike some people, I just don’t feel the need of devastating one’s self. What’s there to be upset about when I don’t feel such sadness? Do I have to force it? I’m practically numb already.
I guess my blog has become a very personal, open space, free for all to read. These words are still filtered, most of you guys won’t even understand fully what I’m saying. I’m hoping someday I’ll be able to share entirely what Im trying to figure out, in the hope of shedding light to those of you in confusion like I am.
For now, This is me.

I would like to state that my summer is just about to come to an end today. Apparently, this weekend was an extension of my vacation.
This has been such an awesome weekend, and I can’t get enough of it as much as how addicted I am to this song. I can sing this song all day with so much energy. This is the song that sums up my great weekend of escape. I just feel different, free, recharged in a way. Living young, and wild, and free.
This was my outfit for today’s events, I’ve got the rocker, laid-back rebel chic look going on to complement my role as a band manager/rockista/music enthusiast for two gigs tonight.
You are my cinema, I could watch you forever. Action, thriller, I could watch you forever. You are a cinema, a Hollywood treasure.

Jensen Gomez played his acoustic set at Trellis Makati. It felt good to hear him sing again, this is my first gig since I got back from a month of absence in the music scene. Then we had to run all the way up North to Katipunan to Route 196 for Jensen Gomez, Lady Ransom, Lions & Acrobats, Mad Hatter Day and many more.
But before all else, I was awesomely shocked to see Migs Ferreras surprising me with his appearance outside our Makati gig. It’s good to see an old friend around because it just brings comfort. I missed random nights like this with Migs, just driving around the Metro and we had a lot of catching up to do since the summer break.
Today’s list of activities included this shoot with Jenica at Fort, then I went back to Taft to meet up with Jensen, Salcedo Village for Trellis, Katipunan at Route 196, Fort Mercato with Migs, The Fort Strip with Chesca, Arvin, Gelo, Dante, Andreo & Paolo, then Katipunan, Fort, the back to Taft. What a day.
But seriously, I missed Young, Wild & Free Nights like these, just driving down with friends and awesome music on the stereo. This is the third night in a row that I’ve been out, and honestly it feels good, I owe it to myself to let loose once in a while. I don’t really wanna give a damn to comments about how reckless &carefree I have become, because really, all they see is what is seen on public photos of my activities but they have no idea how much I work and serious studying I do behind all of this.
This has probably one of the best weekends ever, and I’m thankful to what has happened over the past seven days. If my life were a tv series(Which i think it is), right now would be such a perfect Season Ender after a whirlwind of sudden changes that has occurred.
I just look up to the road ahead. Another book to begin.

Never did I know that getting on that plane for the summer meant that nothing will ever be the same again. Had I only known, or atleast seen this coming, I guess things would have gone in a better direction.
Anyway, Here’s a track I picked up a few days ago, its called Float by Ko Ko. Another indie track to keep me relaxed during stress work.
I’d like to take a few lines from one of my favorite movies to speak for what I can’t.
Today marks a profound and bittersweet milestone for all of us, as we bear witness to both an end and a beginning. And while we must continue on, we must also be grateful to have been blessed with someone who has so ably guided us to where we are today. When there has been so much love and happiness for someone, it is natural to be reluctant to close such a wonderful chapter in our lives, for moving forward is rarely accomplished without considerable grief and sadness. And while our sorrow may be profound, the clouds will clear, and the sun will shine on us again. And in that warm, bright light we will find ourselves facing a glorious future. A future of exciting challenges and infinite possibilities, in which the horizon will stretch out before us, trimmed in the heavenly glow of the sunrise of our tomorrow. -The Prince & Me
Either way, I still continue to move forward with my life. Frankly I am mixed with emotions of both excitement and fear for the uncertainty ahead which I am about to face. Still, my mind and body continues with it’s busy work and my schedule is already getting packed up with nearing gigs, school, meetings, events, etc.
Later this evening, a few old friends picked me & Chesca up, unexpectedly and brought us to Fort at Relik for a few drinks. It’s been a while since I did these random night get away and it actually feels good again. Thanks to Arvin, Gelo, Dante, Paolo and Thea, because I think its about time I start giving myself a little break.

So long very sweet summer and here I am opening the last book of my college life. Summer just flew by so fast, things I was hoping to find were never found. I guess thats why Im so bitter with this beginning. Quite honestly I’m not even the slightest bit excited for this yet because of certain reasons.
Here’s another song I added to my “feel good” playlist which I got from Gossip Girl’s soundtrack. I’ve been watching Gossip Girl Episodes from Season 3 to 4 all summer and I’ve found tracks I really dig. Here’s one of them.
Another One Down by Asher Roth Feat. D.A. Wallach
Over the summer, I’ve been setting this goal for me to find myself with deep-self thinking and reflection. There are things that really need time. I wanted to set my goals straight and find myself during the summer, both, unfortunately, unattained. Though clearly, I can never stop being thankful for the amazing time I had with my family, I’ll really miss them all over again.
Either way, I’ll just take a deep breath, accept reality as it is, I’m back in Manila, missing home and family more than ever and my Senior Year in college has just begun.
First class today was Draping 3, we had to draft three gowns inspired by Victoria’s Secret and we have to use “jeepney basahans” as a materials of this project. This should be a challenge, what a great opening to begin this year with.

Here’s a track I found from G.I Joe 2: Retaliation, its an awesome remix by The Glitch Mob, it’s pretty bad-ass, which looks like the opposite from this outfit post.
White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (The Glitch Mob Remix)
I’m gonna fight ‘em all
A nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I’m talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don’t want to hear about it
Every single one’s got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I’m gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I’ll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I’m going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I’m gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

I’ve always dreamed of having that picture-perfect summer experience, like the one’s exciting and inspiring enough to be a movie or a book just like The Au Pairs and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. But for countless straight summers, its always been the same routine, and even though we travel once in a while, I can’t seem to find that specific essence I have been looking for every year.
I remember the magic of summer as a child, its just like how fairytales seemed to exist in children; the feeling like the day may never end, anything is possible and there’s nothing more to life than those moments of swimming in the pool for hours, camping in a tent in our backyard at night or having a ton of toys to entertain you. Summer wasn’t just the absence of school, but it was something more to that like a time for you to find adventures and make good memories. There were no cell phones, facebook or those complicated things I have to deal with today.
Im trying not to stress on getting that “perfect summer”. Maybe I don’t need to go to Europe to get that exciting feeling, or fall in love with a summer fling to make it memorable or even stay in the beach for days and hope for crazy nights. Generally, I think I need a peaceful, mind-relaxing and soul-reviving summer that’s going to help me find myself and answer all the questions that’s been on my mind for the past year and that’s going to prepare me for my last year in college.
Hopefully, this one makes a difference. I’ll keep you updated.

My tired and weary eyes just kelp sulking as I made it past this entire day as my body just ached to find a bed and sleep. Finally, finals are over and I am relieved because I can get some proper sleep already to make up for inconsistent lack of rest for the past week. Although I am glad this is over, a subsequent thought of how I could have done better this term was unavoidable.
I guess this day sums up my entire Junior Year as a fashion student at DLS-CSB. I still can’t believe how fast all these happenings are just overlaying with my life. It would be great if someone could at least hand me a remote to pause and rewind these things all over again because truthfully, this has been an amazing year.

My days as a Junior Fashion Student are now at count with my fingers. It even still feels surreal that I am already in college and looking back 2 years ago on how much I wanted to study in Manila is pretty overwhelming. Benilde was my dream school and I have it, there’s not a day I am not thankful for it.
Its been a whirlwind of events since then, and all of those shaped me into becoming a who I am now, though I’m not sure if that’s entirely a good thing but it feels fine. I guess that when it feels right, then its okay as long as you remain real to yourself even as you continue to change and develop.
Finals are half-way done, though today I feel pretty much unsatisfied with most of the outcome of my finals projects because I know I could have done way better. The lack of sleep, frequent back pains and several wounds on my hands by pins and needles aren’t definitely what I signed up for but if you never start chasing after what you want, then you’ll never get it.
Although recently Ive been perplexed; confused of what I really want, especially with life after college.

For this long weekend, I feel pretty much isolated staying at the dorm, and elsewhere feels deserted also with empty streets.
Migs & I have been working on several minor projects, most especially on the photographing events for the past week such as gigs and a fashion show, so that gives us a ton of work to edit on now.
I feel rather distant from the world, but I guess this weekend is definitely what we all need because I myself forget about praying or remembering to be thankful for the little things with such a fast phased life. I sit and stay put and try to be calm and ready myself in all aspects for finals week to attack. And then viola, Summer is here! Can’t believe Im an incoming senior by May already. Time just blew me away.

Top & Necklace from Forever21, Shoes from DAS (http://www.dasmyshoes.tumblr.com), Bag from Sinude at Archeology at Rockwell.
I was back home in Bacolod for the weekend and pretty thankful that my fever landed while I was home so atleast people could take care of me. Aside from the zero appetite to eat, I spent my weekend 95% of the time in bed since my body was just aching to sleep and slack.
Im guessing that was the reactive way of my system finally giving in to the effects of stress and lack of rest back in Manila.
Either way, I did this look when I was feeling better. Thanks to my sister who took the photos and for lending me that top which I brought for her during the F21 Sale at Makati last weekend. And also, say hello to my new favorite bag which I got over a two Sundays earlier at Rockwell. I swear, I can stuff my sewing shizz for school and even Miggy inside because its really spacious and stylish. It ups any simple outfit of mine.
Like this look at http://www.lookbook.nu/andie_javelosa
I named this look after our management, Dogtown Music PH ‘s newest band, Yolanda Moon ’s first song entitled “Smltlk” (Small Talk without the vowels). They’re the sexy dawgs of Dogtown PH, their music is pretty fresh here in the local music scene; not your typical rock/alternative/hip hop music, but listening to them can put you on this little sexy high.

So you no longer care if there’s another day
I guess I have been there, I guess I am there now
You knew what you wanted and you fought so hard
Just to find yourself sitting in a golden cage
In a golden cage
So of course I miss you and miss you bad
But I also felt this way when I was still with you
Yes of course I miss you and miss you bad
But I also felt this way when I was still with you
This city’s no longer mine
There’s sadness written on every corner
Each lover was made to sign
Now I hear them calling me over and over.
We were out for the weekend at Tagaytay again, did this shoot on the side while we had another shoot for Jensen Gomez’ music video going on. Thanks to Migs, and his brand new Canon L Lens Series of 70-200mm for these photos and for Cholo Hermosa, for giving me this song during our Jam session right before Jensen and I drove to Tagaytay.

I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat
A heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can’t speak
I can’t speak
I know what your boy like
Skinny tie and a cuff tight
He go and make breakfast
You walk around naked
I might just text you
Turn your phone over, when it’s all over
No settling down, my text go to your screen
You know better than that
I come around when you least expect me
I’m sitting at the bar when your glass is empty
You thinking that the songs coming on to tempt me
I need to be alone like the way you left me
You start calling, you start crying
I come over, I’m inside you
I can’t find you
The girl that I once had
But the sex that we have, isn’t half bad
The text say that “It’s not fair”
That’s code for “He’s not here”
And I’mma flirt with this new girl
And I’mma call if it don’t work
So we fuck till we come to conclusions
All the things that we thought we was losing
I’m ghost and you know this
That’s why we broke up in the first place
Cause
Heartbeat- Childish Gambino
Here’s look number two from our Tagaytay Weekend. I actually did the fringe on this shirt on my own, I like the rebel/grunge feel in this. Thanks to Migs, and his brand new Canon L Lens Series of 70-200mm for these photos and for Austin Cruz for this track from Childish Gambino. I absolutely love this song.

Welcome 2012! Here’s my first look post for the year. This is what I actually wore to school yesterday.

Tip #1: An important key element to bohemian dressing is colors. Typical colors are rich and warm in color mostly on brown, khaki, olive green cream white but adding pops of bright colors such as hot pink, turquoise will definitely add more character to your outfit.
Jeans from Forever 21, Knitted Cardigan from Topshop, Tribal Printed Top from Forever 21.
Tip #2: Hair style adds edge. A simple one sided braid or a thin hippie band adds style. Focus on the little details, they make a big difference.
Tip #3: Bright Colored Sunglasses can brighten up any outfit so just be sure to pick out a color that compliments your skin tone.
Sunglasses from Forever 21. And I got them for just P99. I had to purchase three pairs.
Tip # 4: Wooden pieces make good bohemian accessories. You don’t have to splurge so much on accessories, most of these can be found at local shops especially when you are travelling around the country. You can find these made by natives, it’s very Filipino.
I actually got this from my grandma, it’s surprising how much necklaces I’ve received from her personal collection. These are the little things that make it more meaningful.
Tip # 5: Experiment and Experiment with the pieces found in your closet. Your pieces of clothing may not need to have that boho classification at first, but because it is about how you wear them and how each piece cooperates with the rest to achieve that over all bohemian look.
Tip #6: Invest in Shoes that are versatile yet stylish that can go on for seasons and match with multiple looks.
These are the most comfortable pairs of heels I have because they’re soft to walk in.
