Decide to Dream.

24 Jan

I really think and strongly agree that life is not composed of chances. Only change.

Change your mindset and you change your results. :-)

There are challenges along the way. And true, it’s gonna be tougher! After all, He didn’t promise it will be easy, He just said it’s gonna be all worth it :-)

They say we always have 2 choices. I only have one :-)  TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGE. :-) There’s a huge difference between “Dream to Dream” and  ”Decide to Dream”. :-)

Life only gets better the moment you decide on it. Refuse to be a victim. Be part of the change. Your dreams won’t work if you won’t. And hey, do it the smartest way possible and do it fast. :-) If you want different results, do something different. :-)

I have a lifestyle job! (as Brother Bo Sanchez would put it)

I can say, “I don’t just earn. I live the life.” :-) And it’s because I chose to live it! ;-)

Let’s go rolling 2013! new sports car! bridal gown! vk house! dreams are not dreams.

Dreams are reality in the making. :-) 1-2 years from now, will all get these. I swear that. I really do!! (weeeh)

2013!!! Let’s get you rolling!!

Bring it on 2013!

31 Dec

Life is a battlefield, I agree. If it gives us a tough face, we should be toughER.

It’s not about the now or the yesterday. It’s the BECOMING.

It’s not about the dreaming. It’s about the doing to make it REALITY.

I realized that I can’t expect for things to change if I keep on doing the same old things. I’m precious, and so each one of us. If we love life, we should value time since life is composed of time. :-) There’s a big difference in the words FIXED and EXPONENTIAL. If you believe you are worth exponential, then don’t settle for the word fixed.

But we can’t reach for the stars, if we just settle on the ground. Let go,spread your wings and fly; and don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid to not trying, to give chance to POSSIBILITY. Be afraid to not learning, to give chance to GROWTH.

2012 has been so kind to me. 2013 would be kinder and greater! :-)

Letting go of 2012 and embracing 2013.

BRING IT ON!!!

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO HAPPEN.

19 Dec

Today, I wouldn’t be posting or writing about any style statement, but a deeper sense of statement: RESPONSIBILITY. 

Who we are as an individual is so VIRAL. It affects lives. It forms a group, it creates a community, it creates a country, it creates a WORLD. What have you done today to make this world a better place to live? 

What you are as individual is so POWERFUL that you can change the world around you. The only question is HOW DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT. With great power, comes greatER RESPONSIBILITY.

It breaks my heart to hear about more details about the Connecticut Elementary School tragedy.

11 days before Christmas, 20 loving, beautiful kids (age 6-10 years old) and 7 adults aren’t gonna be home for Christmas. These kids wouldn’t get anymore chance to open their Christmas presents. Their parents can no longer hug them back. And their families aren’t gonna be the same again. It was almost unthinkable and unimaginable.

Let’s offer a minute of prayer for all these little angels and for their families. My heart goes out to all of you.

If the world around the gunman was a better place to live for him, every corner of the world is a happy place for all the children in the world.

Let’s offer CHANGE to the world. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO THE WORLD. And do it NOW. 

As President Obama had put, “God has called them all home. For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on, and make our country worthy of their memory.”

Love is a walk in the park ❤

16 Sep

Stumbled upon a Pinterest photo, and suddenly feeling like writing about it.

Image

There is no more magical feeling than to feel loved. But love isn’t just about for two people. Love has its own different forms: friends, family, best buds, room mates and even strangers we’ve bumped into and helped.

But of course, anyone would agree that we have always wanted that special kind of love where exclusivity exists. Someone we can find “home” with. Someone who we find refuge in this crazy world. Someone who’ll drop everything just to be there for us when we need them.

But we can’t let this lonesomeness get the best of us. Do not be afraid to love. And love when you’re ready. Because that’s like throwing salt into an unhealed wound. You’ll be ready to love again without you even noticing it.

Acknowledge your hurt, by actually feeling that hurt and accepting that pain – that’s the only time you can actually let go and face a new chapter of your life.

And when you’re ready to love again..when you’re ready for that next chapter.. don’t be afraid to get hurt. Because it’s how you learn and grow. We get hurt so we will know how to love more. Remember if you wanted so much to be with the wrong person, how much more would it be if you would be with the right  person. These “wrong” people in our lives our meant to pass by our lives, so we’ll be ready with the right person.

When that one true love comes, break free and let your love be like the misty rain – beautiful and calm – appreciate and feel every single moment of it. Love should just be like a walk in the park. ❤

Till my next sweet escape!

Love Lots

Lacy Afternoon ❤

8 Sep

Flying to Bangkok or HK for some awesome outfit buys? You need to check out Greenhills!

It’s an emporium of not only nice finds but a number of local entrepreneurs with their own brand identities. Clothing havens that are usually in the malls are already well-marketed. There would always be something new, but then again, is always expected. So it’s always awesome to make new store discoveries!

My latest shopping find: Arcobaleno shop located at 3rd Floor, Greenhills Shopping Center! Their stuffs came all the way from fashion bargain hot spots like Thailand and Malaysia. Leading fashion stores also get some of their lines from these clothing capitals.

It’s a “lacy” afternoon and feeling like tossing a chic lace top over my denim dress. Embellished the look with a warm tangerine bow. ❤

Stacked classic bangles from Kamiseta and Promod! Bought both at Php100+ each (oh yeah) – sale up to 60 off!

Want to keep the look toned-down with a matching pink studded wedge from fashion deity!

Walking in Tangerine ❤

19 Aug

Literally strolling in tangerine this sunny Sunday with my Glenmore bright walks! Bringing the Brogue classics back, these timeless pieces are  now fashionably worn by women alike!

Glenmore’s handcrafted footwear is always on the top of my list!  Oh yes you got me right: “handcrafted” – talking about skill & quality – it sure is made with whole lotta love!

It’s not just how nice it looks on the outside (not to mention the thick leather/lamminated sole)- wait till you get a feel on the inside! The soft leather heel-sock are very comfty! Literally feeling like walking on cloud nine!

Also feel like clutching away with this bag from Glenmore! They just don’t craft shoes, they also make a lot of wonders from their leathers!

My pink clutch and tangerine leather-lace stud are natural/uncolored authentic leathers.

You have to see their goods! These items retail twice (to thrice) the price in the mall!

Visit their shop at 2nd Floor, Metrowalk Commercial Complex, Ortigas.

You can also check their website and Facebook page:

My light colored maong top is nicely detailed with three stars on either shoulder. Brings me back to my platoon days!

Completing my tangerine look is a matching pink polka dot-top from fashiondeity and an owl necklace from Happy Boon!

 

Happy tangerine walk! Till my next sweet escape! <3

♫ Here Comes the Sun ♫

10 Aug 4

♫ Here comes the sun.. and I say, It’s alright! ♫  :-) Feel like singing there!

After almost 2 weeks of rain, the sun is finally out!

What better way to start a morning than to hear the sweet bird chirps! They sound so sweet and it feels like Spring!

Feeling sunny and bright, here are some snap shots from Artwork.

This red polka dots top is simply vintage and it grabbed my heart right away! Not to mention the artsy paper bag they gave me – polka dots overload!

Image

Image

Image

Image

I specially love the “paw” print. Which reminds me so much of my shih tzu babies: Chowder, Chowie and Panini. I love these babies.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Aren’t they cute? <3 Cuddle cuddle!

Also personally love my tiger print eyewear. What else can I say? Rawr!

Image

Image

The shoes are nothing but fab in a subtle classy way; done in nice earthy-green! The canvas finish also  makes it very comfty!

I made mention before that I’m a fan of Artwork, specially their shoes! Designed for comfort and quality! Also good value for money! Only got this pair for Php600 (oh yeah! I know some retail shops selling same style and quality twice the price)

Image

Image

Image

Soles are nicely rubber embossed with a number of 4 leaf clover. Literally walking with luck!

Image

The lace-up flats’ grounded feel matched its sketchy cardboard home!

Image

Feeling like strolling around the metro with my casual, comfty ensembles from Artwork!

More time for a sunny, sweet escape!

Rainy Days and Mondays

31 Jul

Oh yes been raining cats and dogs since last week.. and I thought Mr. Rain is gonna take a break on a Monday. Oh well.. this won’t stop me from snapping! :-)

Literally just went out of the shower, hair still soaked, took some “rain splash” photos. But what’s rain without the props? Geared myself up with a nice white D&G coat. Really wish I got one of those super soaker water gun toys. It will totally make my look more fun! (Trivia: Super Soakers are Michael Jackson’s fave toy in the world!)

So instead of jumping in puddles and going on a pool play this rainy Monday, I’d rather warm up and cuddle with Mr.Stuffies!
