Can you believe its been 6 years since I left this blog and
focused on college? Its funny, if you scroll a few pages back, you can find my
post about “my college experience so far.” I really did try to maintain this
blog through college. As a freshman I thought I could (hence the “college
experience so far” post). Unfortunately after that first year, things didn’t
get any easier. I struggled – <i>crawled </i>through
countless Calculus and Physics classes. It was only last year when I finished
the last 5 units of Calculus in our curriculum. I thought after that year, it
was the end. No more stress. Goodbye sleepless nights. I only had 12 units
(which meant 3 classes) to take on my final year, so I was expecting to breeze
through it.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was wrong. Thesis was probably the most challenging year
for me. I entered thesis year with the
mindset that I wasn’t going to make thesis my whole life –unlike how most
people get during this time. I thought “<i>Well. I’m not running for best thesis
or anything special like that anyway. All I want to do is graduate. I’m just
going to wing this.</i>” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well that plan backfired. I entered thesis year and everyone
was extremely competitive. How could I
maintain my “I don’t care” attitude when the pressure was so strong? I began to
care. I became competitive because everyone else was so competitive! It would
have been fine if there were others who didn’t care like me. But since everyone
was competitive, I had to step my game up and also be competitive. I sure as
hell didn’t want to present mediocre work compared to my peers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And so, the road to thesis ensued. For two semesters, we
worked intently on developing our individual projects. The sleepless nights I
thought were gone forever, returned –times two.
In my 6 years of Architecture, this year was the first time I was awake
for 48 hours straight. I didn’t even have time to eat. It was the kind of
hustle where you know you cant eat because eating takes time and if you ate you
wouldn’t be able to make it on the deadline. I told myself thesis wouldn’t
become my entire world, <i>but it did</i>. <o:p></o:p><br />

Fast forward to the last few weeks before deliberations
which were the toughest for me, emotionally.
This was during final submissions of our architectural sheets, then the
MEPS sheets (Mechanical, Electrical,
Plumbing, Structurals). I was seeing everyones final works and I couldn’t help
but compare myself. I was never a designer. As an architecture student, I was
more interested in construction rather than design. So of course I couldn’t
help but compare myself to the rest of my batchmates when I saw their designs
and how detailed and beautiful they were compared to mine. My drafting was bad
too. Basically, everyone was so much more advanced than me, and I couldn’t help
from feeling bad about myself. Thoughts like “<i>You studied Architecture for 6 years and this is all the kind of work
you can produce</i>?” entered my mind. There were many things I didn’t know how
to execute through computer programs, but it was too late to learn
everything since I was simultaneously working on my design. I did what I could
with my measly computer skills. Submitted all my sheets. Did my model. Now all
that’s left were deliberations.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I was scheduled on the last day of deliberations, so
pressure was on me since almost everyone already passed by the time that it was
my turn. Initially, and I even remember tweeting this, I said that it would be
OK for me to do re-deliberations since for sure we’ll all pass as long as we
submitted all the requirements. It was not until our faculty, Sir Chua, posted
in our Facebook group of how proud he was of us because those who had their delibs
all passed so far. I was pressured by this post. I was ready to accept defeat
if it was meant to be, but when he posted this and I saw how happy he was that
all his “children” passed so far, I didn’t want to be that one and only child
who would disappoint him.<br />
<br />
I now wanted to pass and not do redelibs. Not for me,
but for my faculty. I wanted to make Sir Chua proud that all his students passed in one go. I saw the happiness it brought him, and I didn’t want to be
that student who took that happiness away. And so, I worked harder to make sure
I pass. I couldn’t change anything in my sheets anymore, so instead I just
prepared extra hard for my presentation. I had a 6 page script, 4 page kodigo,
and I printed extra CAD working drawings just in case my panel asked for
anything that I wasn’t able to provide in my sheets. I was prepared. More than
prepared. I did everything to salvage my thesis. If I had to do
redeliberations, I wouldnt feel bad because I knew in my heart that I did my
best and exerted maximum effort. I was content knowing that I genuinely put
effort into my presentation, and in the scenario that I would have to do redelibs,
I would never have regrets thinking “I should have done this, I should have done that, I
should have prepared this”, etc.<o:p></o:p></div>

There are too many people to
thank, too many I owe this thesis to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To Sir Chua</b>, my thesis faculty. For his undying effort in
looking after us. Generally, thesis faculty don’t conduct individual thesis
consultations anymore during the design stage – that’s what the thesis adviser
is for, but Sir Chua was really hands on with us that we had required
consultations until the very end of the thesis proper. He always made himself
available to us, and he would always reply so quick whenever we
consulted with him online through Facebook. Sometimes I’d send him paragraphs
of questions on FB but he would still be so quick to reply. He was genuinely
concerned for us which I really appreciated. If not for him, I dont think I would have pushed myself as much as I did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To Ma’am Araneta</b>, my thesis adviser. For being so supportive
and giving the best advice, design wise. Like I mentioned during my delibs “If
only you saw my initial design.. it has indeed gone a long way and definitely
improved because my faculty and adviser who gave the best advice.” I will always
remember what Ma’am Araneta told me. She said I was trying too hard to impress
her and my faculty --that I was always following whatever she and Sir Chua said
just to make them happy. “<i>I feel like
you’re trying so hard to impress us. Don’t design what you think Sir Chua and I
will like. Base it on your style aesthetic. Don’t think about what we’ll think.
Just do you</i>.” From these words I reconstructed my design, and eventually
came up with the final form for my presentation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To my panel, Dean Espina, Sir Meonada, Sir Yazon,</b> and <b>Sir
Sarthou</b> for being so kind. I guess it was also because I did my part such that
I really prepared for their questions, but it was still very refreshing that it
didn’t feel as if I was being grilled which happens often during deliberations.
Again, I have my adviser Ma’am Araneta to thank for this, “Don’t treat it as a
question and answer portion, treat it like a conversation. Communicate with
your panel.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To Sir Manaloto</b>, for helping us out with our structural
concerns with thesis. He was a big help with the technical aspects of our
designs, and I was surprised by how accommodating he was.<i> Kami na nga yung nagpaconsult, kami pa yung nilibre niya ng food!</i>
Thank you Sir, I will miss structurals class with you!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To Don and Mikee</b>.. you guys know this already because I
cried during deliberations acknowledgments because of you two. But seriously
from the bottom of my heart, I will never forget the help and support you two
have given me. Mikee, honestly sayo ko lang talaga nakuha yung support na
binigay mo. Yung mga “<b>Hindi ka nga magreredelibs! Wag mo isipin na
magreredelibs ka!</b>” Kahit sa pamilya ko, wala akong nakuhang support na ganun.
Kaya nga sabi ko, sa inyo ko lang talaga nakuha yung <i>confidence to push
through</i>. The support was only from one person, but it was enough to keep me
going. Even if I had mediocre designs, you still believed I could do it, and
that’s what made me push myself more. To Don, for always being there to suffer
with me, and also being my support system. You were there at my lowest and
highest, so thank you for that. You were there during my panic moments, and
~almost-breakdown~ moments. Thank you for all the advice and tips you gave
about thesis and always being there to answer my queries to anything thesis
related. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To AF Sepanx</b>, this is one of the moments when I realized how
friendship can surpass just mere friendship. Never in my life did I think I
would ask for anything from you guys other than friendship. I really didn’t
think that a friendship I made in an org would actually help me finish thesis.
Like Don, I don’t like asking help from people because I didn’t like the
feeling of bothering others. I was surprised that sometimes I didn’t even have
to ask, but you guys were the ones who actually offered to help. The amount of
help you guys offered and gave was overwhelming. This thesis became presentable
because of you guys. Thank you to <b>Nina, Berns</b>, and <b>Mikee</b> for helping out with
perspectives, <b>Kor</b> and <b>Mikee </b>(again) for sending their sample thesis files from last year for us to base ours on, <b>Drew </b>for helping with my SDP, and <b>Sophie</b> who offered her house as
a semi-thesis house. Also shoutout to <b>Tin</b>, who is not AF but practically fits
in this category of friends. You were one of the friends who offered to help
and I really appreciate that (also my favorite perspective was yours! Hehe
kilig ka ba. Ang ganda talaga!). The perspectives you guys helped with really
brought my design to life so thank you for that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>To AF Undergrad</b>, again, I never knew how an org could help me so much. I did not expect the help I received from AF
Undergrad at all. You guys are younger and since I haven’t been active in AF
and not so close with a lot of you, I didn’t think anyone would actually help
me out. I was surprised by how so many of you were so willing to help and
really went out of your way to help us. For those who stayed overnight in Arki
to help with our models, for those who helped with my perspectives: <b>Japhet and
Juami</b>, and a few other honorable
mentions: <b>Joanna, Maidy, Anna, Lance, Ronn, and Domeng.</b> The help was heartwarming coming from the
younger batches. When its your time to do thesis, I’m sure the favor will be
returned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To Gerard and Poncho</b>, mga besh tapos na tayo. Can you
believe it???? Thank you for being a huge support system and panicking with me,
sharing all the information you know about thesis, and just simply being there
to calm me down when I’m on the verge. Although we never actually worked
together, it felt as if <i>sabay pa rin tayo gumagawa</i> from the constant updates we
have with each other. It feels so good to be able to celebrate this victory
with you guys because we went through the experience together. Thank you!<br />
<br />
<b>To Kevin, Gab, Robbie, Kiel,</b> and <b>Christa</b>, for allowing me to present to you my initial thesis in its early stages. I presented to you guys at different times in Starbucks, Kev and Gab on one time, then Robbie, Kiel, and Christa on another. <i>Napagkamalan pa nga na nag-nnetworking tayo</i> =))) Thank you for the support and analyzing my design even if you guys arent Architecture students. You guys being there to listen was enough.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To my highschool barkada,</b>
for letting me present my thesis to you guys multiple times. I still remember
the first day I ever presented my initial design and I was grilled by Karl and
Ricky. To be fair, that session improved my thesis a lot more. Despite Karl
being the only Architecture graduate in the barkada, all of you still listened
to my presentation and gave all the possible feedback and advice you could
give. Practicing even my final presentation with you guys calmed down all my
nerves and made me more confident. Thank you guys for believing in me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To STARBUCKS</b>, for being my number one and only sponsor in
this thesis. Every single thesis all nighter was spent with Starbucks. I could
say I spent ATLEAST 70% of my thesis year in Starbucks. Sometimes I would have
breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the joint. I would be at there almost everyday
with a schedule of 3pm-12mn just doing thesis, sometimes even earlier than 3pm.
This thesis was sponsored by Starbucks to the point that even the coffee and
food I served for my 9am deliberations was from Starbucks. (Thanks to Ronn and
Don for helping me carry 8 cups of coffee and 8 sandwiches to my delibs that
day!) Shout out to <b>Starbucks, Katipunan</b> branch because that was my homebase,
with the best baristas, and friendliest security guards! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And last but not least, to my <b>family</b>, who I would not be
here without. To my<b> dad </b>for being so understanding of my thesis schedule, and
allowing me to go home late from Starbucks even on weekdays, and mostly for
just knowing when to leave me alone when I’m stressed, to my <b>mom</b> for being
supportive, more about my lovelife than thesis lol but she’s always been
supportive anyway and I will always appreciate her for that, and to my <b>sister</b>
who never fails to praise my work which always encourages me to work harder
every time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before I go, may I present my undergraduate thesis which I presented on the 13th of April 2016, the Center for Fashion Technology,
Merchandising, and Research. I will always remember this day as the mark of the culmination of everything I ever learned in UP Architecture. The end of another chapter in my life.<br />

After four months of summer vacation, I'm finally heading back to school! Been rewatching Gossip Girl the past month so here is a tribute to Serena's style. Went with a school inspired outfit since its enrollment once again (tomorrow!). Please dont mind the ugly background lol it was gloomy out so I wasnt able to take a proper outfit shot. I'm *trying* (keyword: trying) to start blogging again since I've figured I've been starting to spam instagram with my outfit shots. Hopefully I'll be able to update atleast once every weekend. Also dont expect SLR quality photos since I dont have time to do that anymore. Phone transfer is way faster!<br />

If I were to describe my mom in one word, it would be SELFLESS. That is her major trait. Well all parents are expected to be selfless, but my mom's selflessness is one of a kind. She is always there for me, guiding me every step of the way. When I need something, she goes out of her way to get it for me. She'll never have second thoughts (Of course the need has to be urgent haha). She'll always check on me, and not in an overprotective parent way. She listens to me when I talk and I see that her care for me is genuine. If I am sick, she will not leave me behind. She'll constantly check on me after a number of hours. She'll bring my medicines up to my room and make sure I eat my meals so I get better. When I'm sad, she will stay with me in my room and she will just talk to me all about it. She will help me feel better. She'll hug me and assure me that everything will be alright.<br />

When I'm not allowed to use the car, or when I'm too sick to stay at the dorm by myself, she will endure the 2 hour drive to school everyday just to make sure I get home safe -- even if she still has work to do and even if she still has to pick up my little sister from class. I hate it when this happens, because I feel bad toward my sister (since she gets picked up late cause of me..) and for my mom ofcourse. Cause its like she just doesnt have any rest.<br />

My mom is many things. She is an artist, a cook, a pianist, a businesswoman, and a dentist (yes, she was a dentist until she decided to help my grandma in their business instead!). My mom is an artist -- she loves anything that has to do with art. Painting, fashion, drawing, interior design (she designed the interiors of our house all by herself!!). She's a really good painter. She has one big painting that she painted herself which is displayed in the 2nd floor of our house. She's an AWESOME cook!!! I cant even begin to explain how awesome. Everytime I come home from the dorm, I'm SUPER excited to go home cause I cant wait to try her cooking. Even if she's already in her late 40's, she still goes to cooking lessons up to today just so she can please her family. Ask anyone, I'm always excited to go home and that's mainly because I love everything she cooks :-)<br />

She's also a pianist! She's been learning piano since she was a child, and when I was already of age, I was made to take piano lessons too. We eventually had a teacher who'd come to the house to teach me, my little sister, and my mom. I really never liked piano though, so it was really just my mom who excelled in it. Haha!<br />
<br />
My mom is both my bestfriend and my mother. She never fails to remind me to fix myself, put on some make-up, dress nice, look pretty. And of course she never fails to threaten me too with "dont do drugs, dont get pregnant, or I'm disowning you" Haha. And for this fear alone I am sworn never to do so.<br />

<br />
My mom can understand how I feel. That's why I love her so. She's not unreasonable. Everytime she says I cant do something, she explains to me why, and I dont do it, because I understand her back.<br />
<br />
Obviously, there is so much to say about my mom. This entire blogpost is barely enough. She may not notice it, but she is EVERYTHING to me :-) And one day, when she is in my situation, when she's old, and too sick to drive, or too sick to get out of bed, I will return to her all the favors that she has done for me.<br />
<br />
There is no role model like my mother. I want to be everything like her. I am very happy and thankful that it is her womb where I came from. To end this post, I would just like to say, Thankyou Mom, for raising me for a whole 20 years and being patient with me in times when I dont follow you. If I get rude sometimes, and if I've caused you any horrible emotional pain. I love you so much mom!!!! I wouldnt be the person I am without you :-)<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Trisha :-)<br />

I had the best 20th birthday celebration today because I was able to spend it with all my loved ones and I was reminded of how I am loved and so #blessed as well.<br />
<br />
Started my birthday off with a birthday salubong on my birthday eve. On the night of the 29th, my closest friends came over for dinner and drinks and they all stayed up with me till midnight to celebrate my coming of age into the twenties! It was a good night with only the best company I could ever have :-)<br />

The next morning was my actual BIRTHDAY! I was greeted by my entire family and my little sister came in with a gift... it was the Smashbox Photo Op Eyeshadow ICON Palette!!!! I've been super wanting this palette since around 2 months ago and since I'm always out shopping with my sis I told her that this is one of the things that I wanted. Its actually very expensive for eyeshadow so when I found a cheaper alternative, I asked her for that instead but then the shop ran out of stocks so she got me this. My sister is so awesome, I swear. (She's like 10x cooler than me no joke!!)</div>

There were actually a LOT of food but I ended up only eating the fresh selections simply because I was craving and damn, sushi is just hella good. I had a bit of beef and cheese assortment as well but I had more of the seafood. I ate 10x more than whats photographed of course.</div>

Oddly, I didnt have much dessert (yes, hindi pa "<i>much dessert</i>" yan lol). I usually sample each cake on the buffet table and I have an entire plate full of desserts (there was a cake with macarons on top...) but for some reason my stomach just couldnt handle anymore and I just had these.</div>

After which I opened my parents birthday gift for me which was a Pandora bracelet. I actually had the hardest time thinking of what to ask for this Christmas and my birthday and it eventually boiled down to a Pandora bracelet or a new bag.. I chose the Pandora. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I read about Pandora before deciding that this was what I was going to ask for and I realized that this was going to be a timeless, classic piece that would hold my memories (thus the Pandora's tagline 'Unforgettable Moments'). Pandora is a charm bracelet that offers a variety of charms from sterling silver, gold, two-toned, sterling silver with gemstones, and Murano glass beads. With the price of the charms, one may need to collect the charms little by little before completing the actual bracelet. This adds value to your bracelet though because each charm that you add would then have a significant meaning to your bracelet as you build it up along the way.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my bracelet, I started with two clips: the Flower clip (leftmost) and S clip (right). I then chose the two-toned Queen Bee charm w 14k gold, the Cool Breeze Blue Topaz charm, and the two-toned Cupcake charm w 14k gold. I chose these because I thought they represented me, plus they were cute!! Their gold is non-plated btw so the smallest dot of gold in the charm can really increase the price. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bracelet was pre-bought before Christmas so we already had it but I just opened it today. Today though, dad offered to buy me another bead!! The Love Me Black Mother of Pearl charm. This is a topper in my favorite beads (and its actually in my wishlist) so I was so happy when dad said he'd get it for me. It's also very unique and pretty much love at first sight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since dad got me this bead today, I named it my 'birthday bead' because I got it on my birthday and now it'll hold the memories that I spent with everyone on this very special day of mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, as I was in Makati with my family to celebrate, my friend Desa from my college circle of friends dropped by to give me this! She and Binky, another really close friend of mine, made me this birthday card with photos of us and some other close friends. I love getting things like these and theres probably nothing that can make me happier. In fact, upon opening gifts, its really the dedication I look for first. A meaningful dedication, no matter whats inside the giftbox, already means so much to the receiver. One dedication can carry an entire gift! :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the end, this day was all very heartwarming. Love came from everywhere. From my highschool friends, college friends, and from my family. My birthday this year was definitely filled with love. Hoping for the next few ones to be the same as well. Thank you to everyone who greeted and made this day so very special for me! :-)</div>

I actually still have two more entries for that Japan trip I had last summer but we'll save that for another time. I'm blogging right now cause I'm home early, on a FRIDAY night, the night of UP's Lantern Parade, and supposedly our last day of seeing all our college friends before the awaited Christmas break. I decided to blog because of my new found 'maturity' or as how i call it, 'retirement' lol. I just couldnt feel Christmas this year. The Lantern Parade this year was way different from how it was last. I remember last year's parade like it was just yesterday. It was so fun. Smiles and laughter everywhere. It was so different this year. I guess most of us just went our separate ways. And since we're getting older, not much of us join the Lantern Parade anymore. I call my status 'retirement' because I went home early today, and I just really wanted more than anything, to be home on my bed while watching some TV series. Its not like me. I was always that girl who stayed up in all the parties, always thirsty for alchohol. I was that girl who snuck out of the dorm numerous times just to go return to parties if I wanted to go home late. But now, I'm home at 8:30pm and feeling more enjoyment than I had earlier at our college which had free flowing pizza and beer. Yes, I chose my bed and tv series over pizza and beer.<br />
<br />
I dont know. Maybe it comes with age, or maybe its because of all the work I've been doing both academics and org-wise. I guess in the end you could probably say I'm burned out. After being in position for some time, you get tired of it too. I'm a Director for External Affairs in one of my organizations, and I'm also part of the Externals team in my other org so my job really consists of external relations. I was perfect for those positions because socializing with others has always been my thing. I guess when it actually becomes your job to socialize, you get tired of it that when you have luxury time, you just want to be by yourself. Makes sense, doesnt it?<br />
<br />
But ah well, atleast we could say that I'm maturing at the right time. I'm definitely starting to love staying in more. I'm turning 20 in fifteen days and wow how time flies. This is probably my body starting to adjust to the new year that I am about to seize.<br />
<br />
Before I go, a little quote which captured the essence of my current feelings, from Danielle's blog, TrustMe-ItsParadise.blogspot.com:<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 12px;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Following a recent exceptionally harrowing fever, and an extended trip to the island I call home, days of self-imposed detox and lots and lots of sleep, I felt emotionally drained and surprisingly nostalgic and anti-social.

This day consisted more of just going around different cities in Japan. God, the trains there are the worst to get used to. So confusing! We probably got lost a billion times during this trip. Its hard to get used to the trains in Japan cause they have more train lines than the ones in NY or HK plus not everything has an English translation so its really hard to get around especially with the fast-paced lifestyle of everyone there. In my honest opinion, it was even more fast-paced in Japan than in New York (considering NY is known to be such a fast-paced city). In Japan, there was never a time when it was just all peace and quiet in the subway. Okay, maybe when it gets late at around 10pm.. but any time before that? Not a chance.</div>

So on this day we did a lot of sight-seeing. We visited Odaiba where we caught a glimpse of the Fuji TV Headquarters (being an Archi student I got all starstruck upon seeing the the building). We went on a tour around Odaiba and dropped by this mall for some genuine Japanese Tonkatsu, followed by a trip to this other mall where there was a showcase of Toyota cars. Here we also realized how expensive dogs are in Japan as we saw dogs being sold in the mall for a hundred thousand PESOS. Yes, dogs here in the Philippines can cost around twenty thousand pesos at most but back there, a hundred thousand was the base cost --and this wasnt even for labradors or any big dogs, they were for teacup sized dogs like chiuauas and terriers.<br />

Anyhoo, we ended the day with a trip to the Tokyo Tower in Minato. Did you know that the Tokyo Tower is even taller than the Eiffel Tower? Its the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower at 333 meters compared to Eiffel Tower's 320 meter height. We spent the night at the viewing deck of the Tokyo Tower to marvel at Tokyo's skyline while a band, Sapatos, played in the background. Add some Baskin Robbins icecream to that, and the night ended perfectly well.<br />

Hey guys! So it's been more than 7 months since this trip and yet I'm only able to post again now. School's been killer. It is seriously no joke studying in UP. Especially Architecture, at that. I have honestly not crawled this much in my entire life. Haha.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, so this was another day over at Japan. I pretty much dont remember the names of all the places we visited anymore except that on this day we went to Shibuya, Omotesando Hills (the 'Beverly Hills' of Japan), and Akihabara (Capital city for anime!). We basically just shopped on this day and bought pasalubong in this traditional souvenir shop in Omotesando Hills. Shibuya was jampacked with shops as well. There was the 109 Department Store which was so.. nice!! A department store just FULL of girl stuff on each floor. Could've probably spent the entire day there if not for my parents rushing. Our last stop was Akihabara since my sister wanted to look for the anime figurine that she wanted there (she goes crazy for these things). That place is crazy wild as well. A ton of buildings with endless floors overflowing with toys! We werent able to find the exact figurine that she wanted and it was getting late so we ended up going back the following day.

That's about it for now! I'm preparing more posts for you guys soon. Oh and did you notice my new blog layout? It's so pretty now! Took me till 5am the other day just fixing the blog. Thought it needed a fresh change :-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118382006474441530.post-1986979419716610822012-08-08T11:42:00.000-07:002012-08-08T11:42:20.574-07:00DisneySea<div style="text-align: center;">
Late post if late, but here it goes! Our trip to Tokyo DisneySea last summer.
I actually wrote an entire blog for this while we were on our trip (so I wouldnt have to come up with something to write again when I got back), but its at home in the South and I'm here at my dorm with nothing to do so I've decided to finally update this blog and just come up with a new post instead. It'll be short though since I've probably forgotten a lot of details I wanna say about this day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=japday21.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/japday21.jpg" /></a>

<i>What I Wore: Forever 21 sweater and skort, Marks and Spencer tights, Rustan's shoes, Zara bag. </i><br />
<br />
So, all I can say is that DisneySea was amazing. Everytime we're abroad we always visit a certain Disney and this is probably our 4th/5th time in a Disney park. This trip was something really different though because it was to DisneySea! MOST AMAZING DISNEY PARK EVER. I love it there!!!! DisneySea was probably the most enjoyable Disney park I've been to. The scenery, the rides, the SHOWS. Everything! The rides and Disney characters that they featured in DisneySea were so fresh and new. Since its DisneySea, their parades were on water!!! It was AMAZING. When we came that day, we were able to watch 2 parades, one in the afternoon and another at night. Each featured a bunch of floats on water with a ton of different DisneySea characters. It was definitely an experience. Now this is one Disney park I'd go back to again and again and again :-)<br />

I always said I'd rather go shopping or buy something expensive rather than travel. For my 18th bday, my dad offered me a trip to Europe instead of a debut (since he didnt see the essence in debuts --and I didnt either). I didnt want a trip to Europe though, so instead I asked for a Chanel bag which is something I've been wanting for a long time. I dont know, I guess I just find it a hassle to travel.<br />
<br />
Japan to my dad is as how Korea is to me. Korea is everything to me and I've always just wanted to learn about their culture. I'm such a Korean fan that in my yearbook, I was predicted by my batchmates to eventually "evolve into a Korean." All my friends know how big Korea is in my eyes, and thats just how Japan is to my dad. Everything was planned a little bit last minute though, so we didnt exactly get the best bargain deals in everything. But since Dad's always been planning to have this trip, I guess he decided that its okay to be spending a lot for it. From our flights, to our hotel, everything was booked last minute. And since it was holy week, the more prices were expensive.<br />
<br />

<br />
So then we go. On the morning of our flight, I had breakfast at home -- the first I had in 3 days since I was trying to fit into these shorts. When we arrived at the airport, we went to eh MIASCOR lounge where I started to regret eating bfast. Dad said there would be snacks --but not as good as the ones in the buffet standing right there!! Akala ko tipong mga ensaymada lang! But they even had beer! Unli beer! Being the party girl that I am, I was amazed at the free beer. Pwede nang mag-inuman habang naghihintay ng flight!<br />
<br />
We boarded the plane and had awesome food by Japan Airlines. After arriving in Tokyo, we took a shuttle bus to the Hilton Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo and spent the night just walking around the area as it was already too late to go anywhere else.<br />

So I'm back from my trip to Japan which was nothing short of awesome. There are a looooott of pictures so its going to take some time for me to upload. We were there for a good eight days and spent it mostly in the modern areas, not so much the cultural. Everything was planned so last minute so our itinerary was kind of a mess and we just went wherever (I think half the time was spent in the malls shopping). Plus, we've had our own share of cultural whatevers when we went to NY around 3 years ago anyway where all we did was go to museums. Dad loved it in Japan so much though that he said we'll definitely be back again --and maybe this time for a more cultural trip.<br /><br />Anyhoo, so for this trip I wrote a 'blog' for the first three days so it wouldnt be hard for me to blog when I get home. The writing part will be easy then, so now I just have to worry about the pictures. Most of my outfits are outfits I could wear here in the Philippines because my layering was very minimal. I only had one coat with me to the trip and it was kind of ugly (made all my outfits look like a hobo HAHA) so I didnt wear it whenever I took the outfit photos but trust me, it was very, VERY cold. Divine Lee was there the same time as me and if you read her blog, she was wearing several layers (note: 3 layers of stockings under thigh-high boots) so you can just imagine how cold it was. My dad's so pa-cool though so he'd wear just a polo shirt whenever we go around and he'd always be like 'ang init init nga eh..' when EVERYONE else was wearing trench coats, etc. Oh well, I guess its cause back here in the Philippines its so hot so might as well take advantage of the cold, right?<br /><br />That's all for now, stay tuned for my next posts!!

<br />
Entitled 'Image' because of my new haircut and hair color. Today I figured how my new hair really affects the way I look. All my outfits look different now because of my hair. I feel so badass now with it. Hahahah! Anyway, I cut it cause my long hair started to feel like a forest. It was already too long, plus it underwent so many treatments already that I felt I needed to start a new with fresh and healthy hair. So I chopped it all off and away they went! More than 10 inches of hair snipped away, I believe.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo I wore this out to lunch to celebrate my dad's birthday today. Changed to a hoodie though when we left for lunch since I looked like too much of a rockstar beside my family who were just wearing polo shirts and shorts.<br />
<br />

So whats up guys... Long time no see. This is actually an extremely late birthday post, but I knew I had to post it because one, I liked my outfit this day, and two, the food porn is just to die for.<br /><br />Anyway, so I turned 19 on this day and it was just super awesome. I felt like a princess :D I never celebrate my birthday with anyone else but my family (except for certain occasions such as my 18th) because my birthday is on such an odd day and noone can ever really go. Its on the 30th of December so my friends are usually out on vacation somewhere out of town, they have holiday get togethers with families, or arent allowed because its simply right smack on the day before New Year's Eve. Thus, I've been used to celebrating it with my family alone which isnt bad at all. Plus, less expenses on the celebration. He he he.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bdey2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bdey2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bdey.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bdey.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>What I Wore: Forever 21 dress, Charlotte Russe shoes, Topshop bag.</i></div><br /><br />On to the outfit, this dress was actually a candidate for my 18th birthday dress. It was so cute and very Gossip Girl (the peg for my 18th was GG) but in the end I chose the blue dress I posted about a year ago (if you guys still remember hehe) since it was more glamorous and shouted birthday girl more than this.<br /><br />Hence, since we were only out for lunch today to celebrate my birthday, this dress was good to go.<br /><br />So. On to the food. Oh, the food. Crazycrazycrazy good. We had lunch over at Lolo Dad's and it was just extremely perfect. It left me oh so very happy. Simply editing the photos now make me hungry! Hee. We all had set meals except for dad who had that CRAZY eat all you can steak and prawn meal called Surf N Turf. Dad was bloated by the second round. Haha! I had the Christmas meal while my mom and sis had this other set meal that also included pasta (not photographed) and an entire buffet for appetizer. Anyway, here are the photos!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bdayfood1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bdayfood1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>Smoked Turkey Salad</i><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bdayfood4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bdayfood4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>Cream of Chestnuts Soup w Calvados, Crispy Serrano ham, and Fleuron.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bdayfood2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bdayfood2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>Mom and sis' main course..

I sort of went wild this evening after what happened hahahah. If any of you were with me, you wouldve laughed watching me. I won't expound anymore on what happened cause the person might find out haha but yeah. That was some pretty good birthday gift for me. It gave me a high for atleast an hour. Hahahah!!<br /><br />Anyway! So I wore this outfit out to lunch with my family. I've worn this top quite a number of times these past days, but I never wore it on my blog so I decided to wear it today. We were supposed to watch a MMFF film this afternoon, but apparently my sister isnt allowed to the one we wanted to watch (Manila Kingpin) so we ended up window shopping instead.<br /><br />I died, okay. It is probably the hardest thing in the world to go to the mall with ALL your christmas money (and not spend it). There were too many things to want... but I knew I had to control. The Smashbox holiday palettes were already in stock in Beauty Bar and I freaked cause I just used to adore those palettes online... and now they're available. Plus they're a holiday collection so they're only on stock for a while.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/smashbox-be-discovered-box-front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 540px; height: 394px;" src="http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/smashbox-be-discovered-box-front.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><br /><br />I was also on the hunt for new durable flats to wear for school. Something abuse-able. So I was going along the lines of Bass and Aerosoles. I was looking around for all the possible options when I stumbled on these GORGEOUS Sam Edelman flats. They were so pretty! They had spikes on them and they were sparkly :") I fell more in love when I tried them on. MOST.COMFORTABLE.SHOES.EVER!!!!!!! Well okay, its different from the comfort of Aerosoles and Bass, but it really is a pretty comfortable shoe. Unfortunately, its 6k. Most heartbreaking story of my life hahahah! Gorgeous shoes nevertheless. Its going to be hard for me to forget about this pair.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://addictedtobeautyuk.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/sam-edelman-beatrix.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 450px;" src="http://addictedtobeautyuk.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/sam-edelman-beatrix.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><br /><br />Theenn from the shoes, we go to the books. Just some really pretty books I browsed through at the bookstore. I think next year I'm going to start investing on these types of books. They dont only have good content for a fashion enthusiast such as me, but they'd also make great coffee table books :-)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=40473476"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=40473476" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6OW2cXPOjX0/SoyGNe9o1jI/AAAAAAAAJpw/IeoM-2nhp50/s400/Who+What+Wear+Book.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6OW2cXPOjX0/SoyGNe9o1jI/AAAAAAAAJpw/IeoM-2nhp50/s400/Who+What+Wear+Book.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41t8YFqKQbL._SL500_AA300_.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41t8YFqKQbL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xr8xQ61IYlI/TFiiSrZSCNI/AAAAAAAAFeU/lg8YU3TMfSA/s1600/LittleBlackBook.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 429px; height: 595px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xr8xQ61IYlI/TFiiSrZSCNI/AAAAAAAAFeU/lg8YU3TMfSA/s1600/LittleBlackBook.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://stylemeromy.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/BLOGROMY-91210-01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 436px; height: 535px;" src="http://stylemeromy.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/BLOGROMY-91210-01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><br /><br />Sooo thats about it for now.

Super funny cause I wore this (without the heels)to buy liquor at the grocery before dinner. I was alone so I had to carry the bottles of alchohol by myself all the way from the grocery to my car. Since I parked far, I had to pass the mall before I got to the parking lot. Since plastic is banned here in Alabang, I had to carry the bottles in a box, hence they were sticking out as I carried them to my car. Nagmukha tuloy akong lasinggera. Hahahah!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=gdress3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/gdress3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=gdress2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/gdress2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=gdress-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/gdress-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=DSC_4101.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/DSC_4101.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=DSC_4105-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/DSC_4105-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>What I Wore: Forever 21 top, Escada skirt, New Look shoes, Chanel bag.</i></div><br /><br />Dad loved my outfit today, and that's a lot, considering he's <i>dad</i>. Haha. He's told me to change my outfits countless of times before, so its such an achievement for him to compliment me on my first outfit of choice. He even asked where I bought the top! Well, it really is pretty and it has such fine details, definitely up to par with my dad's taste.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=kadachristmas.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/kadachristmas.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=kadados.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/kadados.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />Anyway, this is my barkada! This is our 5th Christmas together. This has been our barkada probably since 7th grade so you can just imagine how long it's been! Of course, some of us were just added along the way but we all love each other a hundred percent nevertheless :) We're not complete here though, cause one of the guys came late, and the other two are out of town.<br /><br />Our barkada has such a strong base that these people will most probably be the people that will be with me till I grow old. It's very nice having these people around. The others even already bring their significant others to our dinners/hang-outs which is nice to see because in the future, we'll all be like a big family each of us with our significant other, and maybe children! That night I was telling one of the guys how wild it would be in our future get-togethers when we already have kids. I was like, "Can you imagine one day, we're all going to be hanging out and there are going to be children wildly running around and calling us tito and tita"<br /><br />It's a very exciting thing to think of, the future, with these people :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas guys!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118382006474441530.post-47800372046313927842011-12-25T06:58:00.000-08:002011-12-25T07:48:04.479-08:00BV ChristmasBefore anything, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas although it wasnt exactly the same for me. It's never good timing to create a blogpost when you're emotional, but here goes.<br /><br />It was probably the worst Christmas for me. I'd love to expound more, but since this blog has become public more than anything, I have to keep some stuff to myself. Or else MARAMING AANGAL AT SHET BAKA MADEMANDA PA AKO SA LAHAT NG MGA PINAGSASABI KO HAHAHAH. I cried like thrice, AND THEY WERENT TEARS OF JOY. It felt like my birthday two years ago --that one was really sad. Can you imagine crying on your birthday... hahahah. I really hope it doesnt happen this year.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bvxmas.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bvxmas.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bvxmas2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bvxmas2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bvxmas3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bvxmas3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=bvxmas4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/bvxmas4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>What I Wore: Mango top, Zara skirt, Robinsons Dep Store shoes, Chanel bag.</i></div><br /><br />I guess its true when they say that the people who seem happiest on the outside, are actually the loneliest. Sometimes I feel like one day I'm going to end up like one of those people... RICH but ALONE.<br /><br />This post is so sad.... but I've kind of let go of today's events already. Happens a lot so I must be used to it.<br /><br />That's about it for now. Outfit today by the way is another color-blocking frenzy of mine. Since its Christmas, red and green! :-) Simulated a shift-dress by putting a tailored top and skirt together. Anyhoo, Hopefully I get to catch some GVs tomorrow at our highschool barkada get-together. Will try to get back all the sadness that was today. Haha.

Wore this out to celebrate my mom's birthday last weekend.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118382006474441530.post-12989946383910663372011-11-11T04:21:00.000-08:002011-11-11T05:47:58.117-08:00Jejemonster<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=jeje.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/jeje.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><i>YEAH das my supah cool Collezione shirt, Maui sweatpants, and Converse shoes. \m/ </i></div><br /><br />Hi guys. What up. Hahahah. SO this is me behind all the fasyon and the make-up. I guess you could say this is me off-duty. Naga-day off si atey. Aheheheh. My friend took photos of me a while ago and she dared me to post it on Lookbook and since I already had this picture, might as well put it up here too right LOL.<br /><br />ANYWAY, this is actually me on a daily basis (Yeah I dont look as gorgeous as my fasyon pictures when I'm in school...). I only really dress up during the weekends, and even then its not even that ALL-OUT. Its hard being all pretty and fashionable in school cause its forever hot. Na-wawapoise ka lang so might as well be wapoise to begin with HAHAHAH. I look forever skwating in school I swear. (Which is a good thing, I think. Because just today I found out that I have a rich-kid hater terror professor. She CRAZILY SHOUTED at us, NOTE, in our FIRST OFFICIAL day of class and right after she asked who drinks at Starbucks... cause she wanted to know how much the coffee there was as a point of discussion. No one raised their hands.... and she was trying to get ANY of us to admit that they did... but no one did. So I decided to just stay quiet and hide in my shell).<br /><br />Its funny though, how I can dress up so differently. There are some times when I feel like dressing up in school so I go all pretty and glammed up with matching make-up. People probably find it weird to see me all dressed up one day and looking like basahan (rags) the next. They probably have a hard time judging me too. Maarte ba to? High-maintenance? Superficial? ay tapos biglang naka-pambahay so simple lang? down to earth? doesntreallycarewhatotherpeoplethink? hehe. Because really, when I do dress down, its down to the center core of the Eaaarttthhh. Pag pambahay, pambahay talaga!<br /><br />So anyway, first week of school was great! As usual, not much classes. I'm taking up Korean language this semester so that should be exciting. We only received the alphabet last week and next week we're already having a reading exam (INDIVIDUAL!! :o). Guess the prof already expected that we were all die-hard Korean fans and we should have been even a teensy bit acquianted with the language. :))<br /><br />Thats all for now, bye! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118382006474441530.post-40293595495664178822011-11-05T03:52:00.000-07:002011-11-05T04:27:57.460-07:00Green With Envy<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=pinky2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/pinky2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=pinky.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/pinky.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />What I Wore: Thrifted denim jacket, H&M romper/dress, Penshoppe shoes, Therapy bag.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=pink5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/pink5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=pink4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/pink4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />Off title, considering that what I'm wearing is very baby pink and blue. The title is because of my nails! The shade of the polish I'm wearing is Green with Envy :D Adorable color! It looks great with pink and blue. I lovelovelove shades such as this. I'm still on the hunt for one last Orly color though which is GUMDROP. I had it on from one of my nail spa trips in Katipunan two semesters ago and I just wanted to get my own bottle since then. Couldnt find it in any store though, so I havent had the chance to get my hands on it. If any of you know where I can get/order one, please let me know! :)<br /><br />Anyhoo, wore this out to watch In Time with the family. REALLY COOL MOVIE!!! Awesome concept. Although it lacked a bit more thrill. The idea was great though. Really liked it :D<br /><br />I also finally bought a case for my make-up today! Hahahah FINALLY. I only used to put my make-up in an Etude House paper bag and since its about to break down already I decided it already needed a stable case :))) Will be fixing it later tonight :) Das all, till the next blog!

Had other outfits but I was too lazy to bring my camera around. Didnt take pictures during the trip, actually. It was really a v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n. We stayed in Manor and had all the rest we could get. So thankful for that break because I finally caught up on sleep. I am no longer a tired child! Thank goodness.

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.<br /><br />I just noticed how I've been wearing so much color lately. So much prints and loud colors.. Its the mood, i swear!

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.<br /><br />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. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118382006474441530.post-67255011406521823662011-10-23T02:43:00.000-07:002011-10-22T11:45:24.662-07:00Why I Love My Blackberry (And why you should too!)<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch2-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />(sorry for the the messy look, makeup, and glitters on my face. my friends and i were doing makeovers prior to this :)))</div><br />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.<br /><br />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 <i>needed</i> 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.<br /><br />Its been with me for a month or two now, and let me tell you the reasons I love it.<br /><br /><br /><b>1. Social Networks</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch4-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch4-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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 ;)<br /><br /><b>2. Internet</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch12.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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.<br /><br /><b>3. Media</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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<br /><br /><b>4. Camera</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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).<br /><br /><b>5. Communication</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch9.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch10.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch10.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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).<br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span">6. USB</span></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch11.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><br /><br />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!<br /><br />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 :)<br /><br />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 ;)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/?action=view&current=torch13.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/trisha_glitzy/torch13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
