Japan

Hey guys! 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.

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?

That's all for now, stay tuned for my next posts!! HEE :-P

What I Wore: Zara jeans and top, People Are People leather jacket, Forever 21 boots, Chanel bag.

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.

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.

Hope you liked the update! Ciao! :-)

Birthday

Hello! 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.

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.

What I Wore: Forever 21 dress, Charlotte Russe shoes, Topshop bag.

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.

Hence, since we were only out for lunch today to celebrate my birthday, this dress was good to go.

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!

Smoked Turkey Salad


Cream of Chestnuts Soup w Calvados, Crispy Serrano ham, and Fleuron.


Mom and sis' main course.. I already forgot what this was called...


Dad's main course. Surf N Turf. So huge and eat all you can, its impossible.


My main course HAHAHAHA wild I swear. Birthday girl indeed :))) This one's also called Surf n Turf except its charred U.S. angus beef tenderloin and lobster tail with baked rigatoni pasta. :-)


Brownie


Christmas Pudding

So there ya go! That is how my birthday went. Haha! The food photos were only taken using my phone btw... COOL HUH. This is why I love my amazing Blackberry. Cant live without it hahahah. And I swear, one day I'm really going to end up a food blogger (when I'm too fat and cant pose for fashion outfits anymore huhu). Awesome food porn is awesome. HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED! TILL NEXT TIIMEEE :-)

basta shet sobrang drama all emotions coming iinnn
di ko na talaga alam gagawin ko im losing control of my life

A short part of my conversation with a friend on why I've been so sad lately. I dont know, I think I got depressed. All I did was cry this past week wanting to go home everyday.

Just thought I should post this to give an update on my life. I'm just so out of it recently.
