I was tryin’ to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

- Shape of My Heart, Backstreet Boys

I’m still in that post-concert phase, expect a whole load of backstreet boys lyrics in future posts :)

hmmm this happens to be the second black and white dress i’ve posted, in a row. actually, i don’t wear colour much, at least not clashing together or in unhealthy doses – nothing wrong with colour, it’s just not my thingg

well, my final year of high school is a bit of a downer, as per usual. we call it VCE here in melbourne. makes me want to cry, but at least you know that everything you do in school this year will count for your final score. i guess it gives you that push, and a whole lot of pressure.

as i write, i’m wasting precious study time. hahaaa, ciao chictopians :)

Give you all my love
Forget what he has done to you
I’m here now
Open up to me
Love will set you free
If ever you believe it
Please believe in me

This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
Let the world know, baby This is us
*This is us
This is us
This is us
This is us
This is love
This is love
Let the world know, baby
This is us

I SAW THE BACKSTREET BOYS ON FRIDAY. OMGOSHHHHHHHHHHHH. BEST EVER, so i know one of them left, so there’s only four of them, BUT STILL. i wanted to cry every time they opened their mouths, absolutely amazing – they’re in pretty dam good shape for like 30 year olds. this song is from their new album, and i thought i’d hate it, but it’s not that bad. old stuff > new stuff, for sure, but change is always refreshing :) they’ve upped up the beat, and gone a little more into ‘now time’ music, but of course, the oldies will always stay close to my heart :)

well, i couldn’t decide what to wear cos it was my first concert, i ended up wearing this dress (which i found for a nice $5 at the market :) ) but switching into flats after my mother reminded me how much walking i would be doing. luckily i listened to her, cos we did walk a fair bit hahaaaa

*NOTE: i was playing around with photoshop, that’s why i’m so grey and desaturated in the first photo. haha :)

i couldn’t believe my eyes, i know a million chictopians have probably been picked for candy mag but I WAS SO SHOCKED.
THANK YOU CANDY MAG :)
firstly, i don’t live in the philippines, secondly, there are MANY more gorgeous chictopians out there (plus, i sent in quite yucky photos of myself with my old digital cam! hahaha, at least the bag collection was nice)

that made my day, and i showed my mum and she said “WHY ARE YOU PUTTING PHOTOS OF YOURSELF UP ON FACEBOOK”
but she was happy cos she got a mention too! (i think she was happy anyway)

sighhh, happyhappyhappy
thanks candymag and fellow chictopians :)

You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you’re around

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

- Today was a Fairytale, Taylor Swift

yeah, no fairytale for me, i ain’t got no prince. not that i’m complaining of course, i’m pretty content :)

this vest was thrifted and i never wore it but it made this outfit so much more interesting – PLEASE IGNORE THE LACK OF MAKE-UP AND HAIR !
AND THE EMPTY SHOE BOXES. and i just realised that pikachu and cookie monster feature in my pics a lot ahahah

soooooo i had an interview to be a FASHION WEEK VOLUNTEER yesterday, i don’t think i’ll get it though because i’ve got school and they prefer someone more available. BUT I CAN STILL HOPE, RIGHT? :)

EDIT: thanks for the lovely comments guys :) but it’s not a denim skirt ! hahahaa! i think it’s made out of an old men’s shirt, it’s like the bottom part? i could be wrong but I bought it from a market anyway

into the velvet sky
And we’ll stir the stars around and watch them fall away
Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound
The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the Alpine heights
Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake
And thinking of the weekend we were in love

- On The Wing, Owl City

So this is a pretty avg outfit, it doesn’t seem to scream exciting to me? maybe it’s the lack of colour haha!

In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth

Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I’ll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed from everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight

- Hello Seattle, Owl CIty

I wore this to a friend’s 21st – the theme was Mr/Miss Universe. My sash says – MISS PHILIPPINES. representtttt, hahaa :)
i hemmed the dress up about 3inches cos it was quite long and made my short legs look even shorter haaaha
sorry these shoes are being repeated so often ! i love them to bits, and i only had them for a short amount of time – they’re back with my friend now :(
