In The Suburbs

What I Wore: Top from Heatherette, Trench from Vice Versa, DIY shorts, Stockings from Capezio, Ankle boots from Aldo, Bag from Espirit.

The trench coat was borrowed from my mother. Its the perfect trench especially because of its light material which is perfect for our breezy weather. The coat wasnt the only thing borrowed, even the bag is my mom's (Yes, I get a loot of stuff from her closet). It reminds me of the YSL Muse bag, actually. I love bags like these since I can store a lot of my stuff in it. And yes, those are the Aldo boots I got last week. I actually wore them out last Saturday to a party but I left so early that I dont even have pictures in it so I decided to debut them on this post instead.

Hm, lovely weather! Whats not to love?

Little Wishlist

This is for someone. You already know who you are. ;;)

Stuff I'm currently digging at the moment. Summer essentials!

MNG Striped Puppy Tee

MNG Eley Handbag in cream

MNG England Handbag in red

Gucci Joy Medium Boston Bag

The Gucci Boston bag pictured above is the bag I was referring to in my previous posts but in the color GREEN. The material was super soft and I just fell in love the moment I laid my hands on it. Unfortunately it is not available in Manila anymore so it will be hard for me to get one of these. Nevertheless, it will always still be part of my wishlist!

BOOTIES!

Roessner Leopard Print Booties from Aldo

apparently, these ankle boots were only out of stock in one branch.
cant wait to wear em ♥

The University

Today I visited my *future* college. I wanted to see my building since I wanted to know exactly where it is. It's near the Economics & Business Administration building and the General Education building so its pretty accessible. My only concern is the sturdiness of the buildings. I even joked around with my family that if an earthquake with an intensity of 4 hits the Philippines, all the buildings in the university will come crashing down. But what the hell, I'm in for the education so why the hell not?

I also checked out Studio 87 with my family. I already have an option to dorm, though my parents are still going to review which is the better choice --dorming, or getting the driver to just drive me to school everyday. The first choice is obviously less hassle for me though, but we'll see.

The dorm is fantastic! Great ammenities and the place is very safe as well! And by safe, I mean REALLY safe to the point that your parents wont have to worry about you entertaining guests because even FATHERS arent allowed on the girls floor. They have cameras everywhere, theres a curfew at 10pm, and you have to get a permit when you wont be sleeping there. Despite the strict-ness of the dorm, I think that its still a good place to live in. Besides, there is also an option to be on the third floor where its much less strict. No finger encoding for the hallway so guests can come in anytime.

Anyway, after visiting the university and the dorm, we headed to TechnoHub, an Ayala Mall project.

It's a pretty cool place, but its just an attraction for food and restaurants.

The weather today was so cold by the way. I was originally wearing sandals with my shorts but my legs felt so bare so I decided to put on my boots instead. Lovely weather!

Finally, we headed to Greenbelt since I was planning on getting the Gucci Medium Boston Bag in green but unfortunately when we arrived, it was gone. I was so disheartened when I found out that they wont be having stocks of that exact bag anymore. I really wanted it since the leather was SO soft and I just felt in love with it when I saw it a few weeks back. On a lighter note, I got some other stuff from shopping at Greenbelt today. I shall post soon! =)

What I wore: Shirt from American Eagle, Thrifted denim jacket, Shorts from Buffalo, Bag from Espirit, Boots from Zara.

Family Day 2010

Yesterday's events were too many to summarize in one post but im going to try my best anyway.

For starters, my cousin died on the morning of Family Day. Also, in a span of one hour, Michie collapsed during a game and was brought to the ER, Bea Gorrez dislocated her knee, and Diana's sister fainted on the hard floor of the Esplanade.

No matter how negative the day already was though, the positive things still came to overcome the negativity somehow. Let me start with the morning of family day. Everyone is setting up and preparing for the parade!

Blue Egyptians

Gold Indians

Red Cherokee Indians

Green Dark Magic

This year, I was given the chance to design Gold's cheerdance costume. At first I was really scared since ONE, I didnt put as much effort into making it (unlike the jersey posted earlier which i super LOVED!), and TWO, because the prototype came out so badly. Fortunately, God was good to me and what do you know, the costume didnt turn out as bad as expected!

So anyway, on to the parade. I do not have pics of Red Team since Gold was to perform right after them and I had to prepare since I was also dancing. After our performance though, I grabbed the camera from my dad and got up the stage to take pictures right away. Unfortunately I wasnt able to install my 200mm lens so pardon me for the bad pictures.

GOLD

GREEN (Best cheerdance costume)

BLUE (Most organized)

After the parade:

Then it was awarding time.

And the winner for the cheerdance competition is...

THE BLUE TEAM!!!!

Rank of Cheer Competition:
1st - Blue
2nd - Gold
3rd - Green
4th - Red



At the end of the day, its not about the awards or honor that you received. It's about the teamwork and team spirit that you were able to establish among your team members and the act of camaraderie you gave towards your fellow team leaders.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE, most especially to the team captains and co-captains who exerted so much effort into making this whole thing possible. I will very much miss Intrams and GOLD TEAM!!! I will never forget my experience with Gold. Win or lose, its the team I choose! I LOVE GOLD! =)
