i have always loved outfits that incorporated navy/sailor accessories or themes. fortunately, i was able to use some of the pieces in my closet for my creative yearbook pic (the 1st pic is the one that’s gonna be placed in the yrbook)..i was quite disappointed with the way they supposedly edited the pic, so i cropped the sides and adjusted the exposure a bit before uploading it here, oh well.:)

…cant believe im graduating already. not gonna lie, i would actually wear this out. but these days, ive been far too busy to have any outfit pictures taken. few more weeks til the finals!! wish me luck<3!

we had our xmas party last night, lesser people came compared to last year BUT i had more fun this time! batchmates attended and ate dinner with us and because we had a lot of catching up to do, we were immersed in chit-chatting, it was AWESOME.

before the actual party, the whole family (grandparents, my family, cousins’ families, etc) from our dad’s side decided to dress up and have our pictures taken in a nearby studio. we seldom do this, so everyone wanted to look their best, especially the women (hair and make up make up make up, hahaha). however, i was the only one vain enough to have my pictures taken almost everywhere in the garden and house. ‘feeling’ like a model, i posed and posed til my sister got annoyed. one cant really blame me for such persistence since i dont really dress like this all the time, the need for remembrance shots are…..SERIOUSLY necessary.

How was everyone else’s xmas?? :)

happy birthday to my dad! and a merry christmas to all of you! (only a few hours left before the clock strikes 12 here in the philippines) :)
i always feel like wearing floral or feminine dresses during special occasions, makes me feel special too , but i think i need to work on my poker face more, hahaha, im actually a very smile-y person but im unfortunate enough to have that bitch-face-when-not-smiling face T_T my cuzin is also featured in this post! i love her so much and i have missed her too, it’s only during the christmas/new year’s break that we can bond with each other coz we go to different colleges. LOL, last picture involves several cousins!!! may you all have wonderful family reunions and celebrations! :D

PS. what im wearing may seem like a romper due to the wind (it kept blowing the skirt part wherever, haha), but it’s actually a dress :D

~ Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment. ~ Samuel Johnson

turned 20 (TWENTEEN…^__^)today. (YEY?) hahaha, im trying to be optimistic about my future. im really thankful for everything i have in my life right now…appreciating my real friends…those who decided to stick around despite all the nonsense and stress…thankful for my family…who truly care for me…thankful for a chance to start anew..lots of things have happened this semester…things im not totally happy about…but because of these people…im still holding on :)

decided to wear this coz i wasn’t sure what the weather would be like by the end of the day. it was scorching hot in the morning, so the loose top was a good choice, and it rained so hard in the afternoon, so the boots were lifesavers :D although, my pants kinda got wet due to the rain+strong winds..oh well !

oh yah, for all kpop viewers and fans……i feel so sad that jae from 2PM experienced a lot of crap because of what he said years ago, hopefully he’s able to rest and figure out what he really wants to do in his life :) jae hwaiting!!!
