Catching Summer

I have this named Catching Summer because this was the last week I get to be a bum and so it was literally catching up my summer 2013.

By the way, this is what I wore during the TOMS Event and when we ate at Bulgogi Brothers.

 As I have passed the Medical Technology Board Exam last month, I jumped into applying for jobs and just a few days i get to be called in for an interview and had passed my requirements (some) and now I just finished my first week as an employee of Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

 Yes, I will be busy again but don't worry, I'll try my best to update my blog every now and then because just as much I am passionate about science and caring for patients, I am just as passionate in doing my own craft, my own art and publishing my authentic voice to the public.

Oh and just in case you are wondering, I am working now as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist so you will not be able to see me in the laboratory but in the specialized department that I am very lucky to be into.

Unconventional Summer

Philippines is a tropical country, it's hot even in December. Good thing there is this place, Baguio who is known as the summer capital of the country, it is coined as that because Filipinos would be here as their heat escape from the scorching heat of the summer.

To tell you honestly, it was really not that cold there, although it was at least cold enough for me to wear these, I love winter clothes! I guess Baguio has changed so much since I was young, I wouldn't know though because this is my first time I have been there.

These were taken at SM Baguio, I just thought it would be very predictable to have my outfit shot taken in the woods so for a change... here you go! lol!

To know more about my visit in Baguio, click this link:

Bonnet (Oxygen), Aztec Printed Shirt (Forever 21), Red Striped Cardigan (Forever 21), Black Mittens (Forever 21), White Time Keeper (Tomato), Black Scarf (Thirfted) Full-length Denim Pants (Energie) and Brown Leather Boots (Forever 21).

Tell me what you think about this outfit.

Maybe suggest me places to visit? (inside or outside the Philippines).

The Black Scarf came from this "emergency kit" box that I got from Axe... and I shall not elaborate what that box is for. lol!

Let Me Fall

Beige Bonnet (Korean brand), Eye Framer (Landmark), Black Scarf (Oxygen), Printed Shirt (Oxygen), Black Cross Necklace (Topman), Bracelets (thrifted), White Watch (Tomato), Full Length Pants (Energie) and Brown Boots (Forever 21).

This is the one I am wearing in these posts:

Dimensione: Magis Puppy and

SM: The Stylish Youth

and that is because my friend Maureen asked me to dress up in my fall appropriate outfit for her project... yes I know I won't survive fall's chills if I actually wear this but you guys must understand that it was so hot that day. lol!

But somehow I hope there's fall in the Philippines also winter but please keep the temperature to 16 degrees Celsius... like the ones our AC's would have as the lowest... or it would be selfish since I only like it so we can wear winter clothes and not thinking about those who couldn't afford those thick clothing... hmmm... ok so I'm going to be contented with the kind of weather we have... I just hope it will not get hotter.

Feel free to comment!

Plains and Planes

Structured brown buttondown (Bleach Catastrophe), Bone Dagger Necklace (OS Accessories), Time Keeper (Rolex), Bracelet (Oxygen), Bronze Full-Length Pants (Penshoppe) and Black Leather Shoes (Bradford).

You can never go wrong with neutrals. It gives you a very soft look but with an edge if you pull it off with some strong features, it's like make up when you just aim for something nude but give your eyes that very smokey look. In my case I like the detail on my top that makes me look thinner and taller... but what really makes me taller are my bradford shoes lol! I love them!

By the way, this is what I wore during the 7 For All Mankind Party.

Special thanks to the very talented and influential Miko Carreon for taking these awesome shots!

SPOT THE INDIFFERENCE

Denim shirt (Esprit), Spotted Shirt (OXYGEN), Bracelet (OXYGEN), Full Length Pants (Wrangler), Flannel (Ralph Lauren), Brown Boots (Forever 21).

As I have promised, I will do an outfit post of what I wore mainly for the Flique Magazine Launch and which I also wore during Dell's Event since they were both held during one day and I couldn't have the luxury to go back to my house which is in Cavite (will probably take an hour or two for a ride).


I chose to wear this because I thought it had the 90's vibe... well I haven't get to do much research as I'm very bombarded with things I have to do in my current life but I think the fashion that time has a lot to do with denims as I have remembered (pardon my memory I was really just a kid back in the 90's).


Another reason why I had this as my outfit during that day because I am just so excited to wear that spotted shirt I got from Oxygen, don't you guys think it's just so neat!?


Oh and a friend of mine once told me that most fashion bloggers get to have their outfit shots looking away or doing some "candid" stuff and few would look straight into the camera, now in that connection I have a concrete idea why I look away or whatever... it is simply because I am trying to look good/thin, I just got to have the proper angle to show more jaw as an illusion to be skinny and show less of those unwanted curves and rolls.


I hope I somehow entertained you with this post and if you have suggestions on how I would look better on pictures PLEASE do tell me and feel free to comment about anything related to this post and please do hype my look on Lookbook!


Special thanks to Mr. George Barcarse for these very wonderful shots!

We talked about the issue on her regarding the matter of the "homophobic" and she cleared to us that it was a miscommunication. The model was not hired not because of gender issues but due to technicalities and protocols.
