Oh dear. Look at me blogging at an ungodly hour...again. My body clock is so messed up right now, I've been waking up automatically at 3 or 4 in the morning then going back to sleep a few hours later. If I remember correctly, my previous post was also typed and published during this hour. The scenario was this: I suddenly woke up in my dorm bed. Groggily and instinctively knew it was 3-4 am. Willed myself back to sleep but just can't. Felt more alert than ever, thoughts sharper and clearer. Uttered "What-the-hell" and just grabbed my laptop and typed away. This post has been drafted for so long it's begging to be published NOW. Do bear with me and my 4am thoughts. :)

These photos were taken on a random shopping day out with my mom and meeting with my lover! (Ha-ha-ha!) This kind of outfit easily became my uniform. Sheer collared blouse, metal neckpiece hidden underneath collars, slim-fitting jeans and heels. I didn't even notice that I've been wearing too much sheer tops with collars like this until Mark pointed it out. I don't think my love affair with it will end anytime soon though. What can I say, it perfectly suits my style.

Somewhere in My Youth or Childhood I Must Have Done Something Good

Photos from the night we watched The Sound of Music (December 30, 2011) at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World. It was basically a family night out for us and boy did we all have a great time! My elder sister and I were excited as hell about watching the play 'coz we adore EVERYTHING---the cast, the songs and the story of course!---about the film that we practically drove our mom insane by bugging her into buying tickets ever since the opening night. Haha! It was such a lovely night though I felt a 'lil uncomfortable 'coz I was holding my breath the entire time as I anticipate for the all too familiar scenes. Well, it was all that I could do to keep me from bursting into singing along with the actors. Haha! It truly was a visual feast and a nice merge of classic story with modern technology. The set design was surreal! You could tell that they really wanted the audience to be awed and be brought into the setting of the story. My only negative comment about the play was the lackluster performance of  some of the main characters. I mean, my favorite characters were the butler, uncle Max and the housekeeper, Frau Shmidt! So I think that's not such a good sign. We ended the night by having a very late dinner at Cafe Republiq where we exchanged reviews about the play.

As for my outfit, I just wore something simple and fuss-free. Basic, solid colors and not too many accessories. Then combined different textures by wearing a wooly pullover and a leather skirt. That's it pancit! :)

PS. Title of this post comes from a song in the play, Something Good. One of my faves! Captain Von Trapp and Maria sang this after finally admitting to each other that they've fallen in love. *Sighs*

Wear Your Tights Day!

Funny how we all wore tights that day. We didn't even plan to match outfits. Haha!

My outfit for that day was inspired by Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). While sorting through my closet the night before, Rachel's preppy outfits kept flashing in my mind. Then I remembered how she described her look to Brittany (Heather Morris), she said it was "Sexy Schoolgirl Librarian Chic". And since I was feeling all schoolgirl-y that night/day, I came up with this (though one blockmate told me I looked like I was going to church). Haha!

So much like a "Kamiseta Moment".

My fake tattoos. I really want to get one but my mom won't give me her consent. Bummer.

These photos were taken on Friday when we met up with Rachelle at Trinoma. After the girl session we had at the mall, REJ and ERJ still didn't go home and instead spent the night and the following morning at my house. These girls just couldn't get enough of me, noh? Hahaha!

*Sighs* I'm so glad I'm done with my midterm papers in two of my majors. My birthday week was definitely rough on me. On my 19th I didn't get any sleep at all due to a paper I was finishing, because of the lack of sleep, I had a meltdown in the bathroom while taking a shower resulting to really puffy eyes, and I almost got run over by a car on my way home from school on my birthday! Most inauspicious I tell you. Also heartbroken 'coz I didn't get the chance to watch T. Sweezy's concert. I'm just glad it's over. :/ Haha!
