We Walk The Same Path But Got On Different Shoes

What I Wore: The Ramp top, Zara skirt, Penshoppe shoes, Chanel bag, F21 hat.

Wore this out with the family today. Can I just say how awkward it is taking outfit photos in public..... especially in the middle of high street haha! Only took a few photos and I was planning to just retake them at home but the photos turned out ok anyway so decided to post them.

I just noticed how I've been wearing so much color lately. So much prints and loud colors.. Its the mood, i swear! Oh and sorry for the ponytails on my wrist haha they're forever there.... :)))

Gonna be in Baguio for the weekend. Ciao! :)

You Know You At The Top When Heaven's Right Above It

What I Wore: Zara top and skirt, Forever 21 denim vest, SM Dep Store shoes, Coach bag, gifted bowler's hat.

Wore this out with the family today. I was trying to get home early today since I wanted to catch the sun for my outfit picture but unfortunately we got home late so heres some indoor (technically outdoor but whatever) flash fashion photography photos :))) I dont like indoor photos for outfit shots since they fail to show all the details of the outfit but ah well, this will have to do. Say hello to my ghost friends. Heehee.

Can I just say, concealer works! (Well no duh...) But yeah. I never really used concealer before since I didnt need them much. For my eyebags I just used foundation and I was satisfied enough with the coverage it gave. But recently I got bored and figured I should try using concealer and see what it does for me. And voila! NO EYEBAGS AT ALL!! Would you look at that :') For an architecture student like me who's already used to sleeping at 4 in the morning, eyebags indeed are inevitable. They dont even bother me, or other people because its already become part of my look (HAHA). Anyway yeah, I was just amazed at how eyebag-less I looked esp since my eyebags are as big as my eyes (THATS A FACT!! @_@). For this look I used Etude House's Surprise concealer, then I used Body Shop's cream foundation on top of it, and sealed with Max Factor's powder. I didnt use foundation anymore for the rest of my face since I've been going without it recently. I figured I still looked fine without it so I've been skipping that. Theenn just Etude House's volume mascara, MAC's peach blush (my staple), and Face Shop's pink lipstick. Nailpolish is Orly's Snowcone which I LOVE!! Just one coat and already has great color pay off. :)

Why I Love My Blackberry (And why you should too!)

(sorry for the the messy look, makeup, and glitters on my face. my friends and i were doing makeovers prior to this :)))

So this is a post about my ever so trusty-Blackberry. Eversince I laid my hands on a bb, I swore never to switch phone brands anymore. I got my first bb in 4th year highschool. It was a Bold 9700 which I've already posted on here before. Back then, noone had Blackberrys yet and I only had 2 contacts in BBM for quite some time. I remember I'd even bug my highschool batchmates just to turn their BB service on so I could add them. Now though, its like everyone has them, and my measly contact list of 2 has now evolved to 70.

My favorite Bold9700 got stolen a while back in 1st yr college. When it got stolen, I realized I couldnt live without a Blackberry anymore. So I replaced it with a Bold9000. Even though it was secondhand, it was still good for me. I needed a Blackberry. Long story but after that I soon decided to replace my old one again when the new line up of models came out. The line up for this season were the Torch9810, the Bold touch, the Torch thats pure touch, and a bunch of new Curves (Sorry I'm too lazy to search their model numbers). I then decided to get the Torch9810 in white. Its exactly like the old Torch except it runs in OS7, it has a better camera (HD video), and has more internal memory.

Its been with me for a month or two now, and let me tell you the reasons I love it.


1. Social Networks

I think the main selling point in Blackberrys for the youth nowadays is the social network. Theres BBM, Twitter, Facebok, YM!... all the possible messaging services you could want. Personally I love Twitter and BBM. I tweet everywhere! And I love uploading twitpics. Its also become pretty neat for me too since tweeting has sort of been a public communication device now. There'd be times I'd tweet 'otw to Bonchon for lunch!' and apparently my friends are there in the area so we'd just tweet each other to meet. No more text messaging! BBM on the other hand is another really handy app. If only more of my close friends had it, I'd be bbm-ing more often. What I love about BBM is the group chat. ARCHIPEEPS BBM group, you know what I'm talkin about ;)

2. Internet

So this one's a very CRUCIAL factor. The internet in my dorm sucks. And I'm too lazy and cheap to get a broadband stick so I decided to get a phone with internet instead. Precisely why I switched to the Torch. For bigger screen! Now I can surf the net anytime, anywhere! Whenever boredom strikes wherever I'm at, I just hit up the web and browse through Tumblr or what have you.

3. Media

The Blackberry is almost everything you could ever want in a phone. I've finally abandoned my iPod (my poor nano thats been alive since grade 7?) and now use my phone as my mp3. I mean, why carry two gadgets when you can have them in one? Also, since I got the Torch 2 now, I've started to add videos to my phone. Its preeeettyyy sweeeet! Really good quality. I feel like I can probably put some TV show series in here to watch over long trips :D

4. Camera

Ah, the camera. What I would do without it. Another selling point for me! The camera in the phone is something I'm very picky about. Well actually, no. As long as it takes good pictures, I'm fine. I love photography so having my phone with me at all times has served me well, especially when I dont have my camera with me. I used to be SO into photography, but theres a lot of competition in my University so I let the others take the job instead. Recently I havent had time for it anyway. So now, even just having my phone is fine since I still get to take photos of spontaneous trips without having the hassle of an SLR.

Not to mention, video in the BB is acceptable as well. You dont know how many epic nights I have caught with my Blackberry. (I've uploaded a ton of my bb videos from events on my FB page but trust me theres more than that. We have a thing we'd like to call SCRAPBOOK.... which has some of the wildest, funniest, epic deeds Katipunan has ever seen).

5. Communication

Aside from the phone calls and text messaging, theres email. WHICH DOES WONDERS. Its so cool receiving email from professors during the day WITH YOUR GRADES ON THEM. Its like you're updated right away. Anything that goes on in the virtual world, you're notified right away, wherever you are. I use email mostly in dealing with my professors. But heres one of the best things I just love about the Blackberry (that I wouldnt know what I'd do without :( ). You can email your profs any documents that you've been working on. If you have a paper due, or a powerpoint presentation, or any document really that needs to be sent... all you have to do is plug in your phone to your laptop, transfer the files to your phone, attach them to the email, and voila! IT BE DONE. Of course this is only useful if you dont have internet at the moment (which is my case in the dorm all the time :P).

6. USB

And lastly, the phone works like a usb! Well Android and iPhones also have the same function but still. Its just another addition to why I love the Blackberry. There have been times when I was in a rush and I couldnt find my usb so I decided to stuff my documents in the phone. I needed to have a bunch of things printed so I transferred the files to my phone, went to the nearest computer shop, and had them printed directly from my phone there. Pretty awesome stuff, my bb is really a lifesaver!

OH BUT WAIT, I forgot to add this.. but I also love the BB because of STYLE. Its a very stylish phone. Very sleek and classy. Plus what I love about it is its silicone cases!! Hehe. I love playing around with the cases of the Blackberry. I'm always in the hunt for new different colors. I've had the case of the 9700 in neon green and purple before, and now I use the pink for my Torch. Love love love the colors :)

All in all the Blackberry is such a great phone that serves to function for the immediate needs of anyone. It can be a camera, an mp3 player, a usb, a web browsing and chat messaging tool, etc. Its the phone that anyone could ever need ;)

The Comeback

What I Wore: Topshop top, People are People leather jacket, The Ramp printed harem pants, Coach bag, SM Dep Store shoes.

Wow guys... wow. How long has it been? Hahahah. Finally, a legit update from me. Just a quick post on why I've been so MIA. One its because I've gone fat. I couldnt bare to take photos of the new weight gain. I couldnt even get myself to wear nice clothes cause I felt like I didnt deserve it. Plus wearing them would just remind me of how much I've gained. I was (still am) in such denial. I'm really not in the mood to diet now since I've always said I'd diet but I never really did so I'm tired of it SOOO diet next time ka na. Hahahah!

SECOND! The past semester was such a MESS. If freshman year was wild, this one was DISASTROUS! Worst semester EVEEEEEERRR. I was in the most slacker mode ever. It was horrible. :( I dont ever wanna slack off like that again. Its the worst feeling ever. Its not ME. :( But anyhoo, I'm just thankful its over now. And I passed Physics 71 which I felt I was gonna badly fail. I got 2.75 praise the Lord. But yeah, never agaaaaiinn!!!

Many more things happened over the semester. Lots of new friends and events too! Wish I could blog about it more... but it would be too long for words.

Anyhoo on to the outfit. I wore these pants a few posts back but its actually been a long time since I last wore them. Thought I'd never wear these again (cause I only bought it for our dance concert), but hey what do you know :P The shoes I bought a few months back and only had the chance to wear them now. They're cute dont you think?? Good find from SM! Oh and notice the nails! They're Orly's Snowcone color. Adorable! Gotta love Orly :)

Thats about it for now. Hope you're all satsified with the update. Ciao!
