More Fil Panel Pictures

in IV-A

IVB

The Fil panel was basically about friendship. We were required to bring someone who we thought fit our definition of a FRIEND. We were then interviewed and we answered questions concerning our relationship. I brought Steph and my mom because I felt that they were two very important people in my life.

I learned a lot from both panels I attended. The experience made me want to be closer to my mom and do more things for her to show my love. It also made me realize how lucky I am to have a best friend (Steph), whom I know will always be there for me.

Real friends are actually hard to find which is why I am glad that I have already found mine in both my mom and Steph. :)

2NE1

I can already see our names in lights.

HAHAHAHAHA OKAY. Add our dancing pictures to my poor editing skills and this is what you get. I think I just degraded my blog. LOL.

Disclaimer: Do not take our performances seriously. Kathleen and I do not actually have high hopes of getting into a girl group (though offers are always accepted :D). We do this for the sole reason of having fun. We take pleasure in entertaining and in making others laugh. Please do not judge us because thats the least thing we would want :)

Pictures were taken from our Filipino panel discussion event and were taken by Isa Ching. Editing,etc by me.

Last time I felt what it was like to be a model. This time, I felt how it was to be a popstar. I think Filipino class is going to fulfill my dreams.

So we had our Filipino panel discussion today and Kathleen and I decided to perform 2ne1's Fire in front of the whole class. I wont go into detail about how the discussion went since I'm sure most of the other people reading this blog wouldnt understand. Instead, I shall go into what I wore.

Body/swimsuit and necklace from mom's closet, Jeans from Mango, Belt from People are People, Shoes from Nike, Multi-colored bracelet watch from bazaar, Blue ring from jewelry stand in Town, Jacket given by Jessie.

Since we were doing a cover for 2ne1, obviously, we had to dress like them. And so I wore a body suit just like CL's trademark.

I was so inspired by CL's bodysuits that I went through my moms closet and found this really colorful and intricately designed swimsuit along with two other beautiful bodysuits. I absolutely fell in love with the swimsuit the first time I saw it. It was just very 2NE1.

I know, I know, I've been posting a lot of Korean stuff lately. But you've got to admit, their fashion sense is too good to ignore.

On other news, today was also probably one of the most hectic days I've had in senior year. From wearing pajamas for the panel discussion to changing to jeans and rubbershoes for our performance, then back to wearing pajamas, and going back to the classroom (still wearing my bodysuit and pajamas) only to find out that I was going to be interviewed for the yearbook staff at 10:10 and it was already 10:15. You'd be surprised how I made it there without having Ms. Mapa and Ms. Q scolding me for being late.

I will post a picture of the outfit on me as soon as I get the pictures because I know how hard it is to imagine an outfit when the clothes are just laid down. Lastly, thanks to everyone who supported a while ago. I'm very thankful that Ginang was pleased with our performance and most especially of the over-all panel discussion event. Great job, IV-B!

15% off on ALL items in Topshop Alabang Town Center branch from this week till Sunday August 30.


I immediately rushed there to get my jean leggings. I know, I'm such a sucker for Topshop's leggings. And I know one day these are probably gonna go on sale for 50% off and I'm going to regret it (like what happened with those liquid leggings that I bought for full price), but I just really couldnt risk it being out of stock. Especially in my size. I was actually at MOA the other day and I was asking them to call all the branches of Topshop for a size 8 (yes, unfortunately my thighs will always be a size 8) of the denim leggings and this other one but unfortunately all branches were all OUT. Lucky for me though, once I got to the branch in town, they had this design that I wanted which wasnt in the MOA branch so I reserved it and got it today :)


It's actually pretty stupid to buy on full price come to think of it. Especially at shops such as Zara, Topshop, and Mango. (MANGO most especially..:/ ) One day they're just going to have a sale and everything goes! At Mango I actually never buy unless its on sale but in Topshop, they have very limited sizes and designs which is why you'd always have to be wary when shopping there. Topshop has a ton of trends and you never know which one appeals to the market the most. Skirts there for example go away real fast and usually never reach the sales. In fact, they have a lot of items that never reach the sales so its good to really think first before letting go of something. If there were something in Topshop you should NEVER buy on full price though, it would be their DRESSES. Their dresses scream RIP OFF so I advise waiting for them to go on sale instead.

Basically, spend on stylish, unique and sometimes trendy pieces because those are the pieces that arent generic and need a lot of skill to be made. Of course, price matters, so when buying, also take the value for money into consideration.

From my afternoon shopping escapade with mom, I headed to Stephs birthday dinner part 2 AKA dinner with the college peeps. My feet already hurt so much after all the walking so I just dressed down my outfit by changing into flats, adding a belt and using a different bag.

We had dinner in Mexicalli wherein it felt as if we were all from a public school with all the LOUD and insane shouting and laughing. It was really fun though. Ed and I super had the KOREAN chemistry. HAHAHAHAH! It came to a point wherein we both suddenly burst into the same Korean song. LOL.

We spotted Rei out of nowhere and the situation became too shutter happy. With Paulo and Brols having SLRs, you'll have a ton of pics in no time.

LOL at this picture. Everything is just so WRONG. 1-Joey, 2-Me, 3-STEPH. =)))

We all went to San Mig Bar after and just chilled.

I've missed them all so much. Its good that we were all able to catch up. I cant wait to hang with all of them again. Till next time, guys! :)

What I wore: Top from Giordano, Skirt from bazaar, Shoes from Cleaveland, Bag from Nina Ricci.

I think its true that shopping is my only work out. My feet hurt like a bitch yesterday from walking two malls.

Mom and I went to this jewelry shop while at MOA and guess what I find there?

Do you see it yet?

Yes, its a Chanel RING!!!! I just KNEW I had to have it the moment I saw it. Its made of 18k gold and diamonds and it looks stunning. Of course I had to try it on. It made me love it even more.

I begged my mom for it, but she said I had to work real hard first before I get it. (Which is why I'm depending a lot on being a silver awardee atleast till this year ends so that maybe she could get it for me for Christmas? :))) I just really hope its still there by the time I've shown to her that I deserve it.

It also came in another style which I didnt really like. It was more of a guy's ring.

We also managed to have time for Bagaholic which is a shop that sells secondhand original and branded bags. They had two stores, one that was full of Louis Vuittons with some Hermes, Balenciagas, and Goyard, while the other one had the not-so wanted ones such as a variety of old designs from Gucci, YSL (I loved the YSL one!), Prada, Coach, and a bunch of Chanels.

(sorry for the horrible quality, I used my phone for the pics)

The Chanel 2.55's ranged from 48k (the oldest design) to 78k for the newest one. Louis Vuitton speedys ranged from 27k up while the Louis Vuitton Almas were 35-45k. Hermes bags were available for as low as 110k for the smallest one.

Bagaholic is located in Makati and may be accessed through the Renaissance/New World Hotel.

What I wore: Top from Giordano, Skirt from Bazaar, Shoes from Janylin, Bag from Lulu.

HAPPY 17th TO STEPH YCASIANO!

Stephs birthday celebration last night. Good fun time. Had dinner in her house followed by partying at Ascend afterwards.

Stephs momma made us really great food. Pasta, chicken pastel, mini burgers, etc. The cake was the best for me though. It was just seemingly irresistable.

I thought everyone looked so pretty that night. Bey and Paola really stood out though, their outfits just really suited them so well. Pao styled Bey and I thought the blue dress definitely complimented her.

Me and the birthday girl sporting almost-the-same shoes! We really were sisters in our past life!


With Paola. She can definitely make anything look fabulous.


Pao brought her leather jacket for Bey but bey didnt end up wearing it so I decided to wear it. It actually fit my outfit well, dont you think? Thanks Pao for lending it!

And the rest is history.

Some of us stayed to sleep at Stephs house and we ended up sleeping at 3AM. I slept for three hours. Everyone else was DEAD as hell. I already watched one whole episode of this Korean show and everyone was still asleep. I think its the Red Bull that kept me up. Since I dont drink alchohol anymore, I ordered red bull instead. And yes, that one bottle kept me dancing the ENTIRE time we were at Ascend. I think I only took a rest for 5 mins. And I only slept for three hours. How insane is that?

Anyway, happy birthday again Steph! I'm SURE you had a GREAT one.

What I wore: Shirt from Topshop, Shorts were DIY'ed, Shoes from Janylin, Jacket borrowed from Paola.
