Memory, All Alone in the Moonlight...Lalala...

*Not really an outfit post...Hee. :)

Awkward photo of me pouring out some coke in my glass. Haha!

Mama and I went out on a date last Saturday. We watched the musical Cats at the CCP and boy was it awesome! Hearing Lea Salonga sing live was one of the highlights of my Saturday. Her rendition of the song Memory was truly beautiful that words aren't enough to convey how beautifully she sang it. I wish I could watch her in Les Miserables and Miss Saigon though. :)

The costumes, set design, the performances of the actors and the whole show reminded me of the days when I was so into theater and very much involved in my schools' drama clubs in HS and GS, in fact one of my earliest dream jobs as a child was to be a theater actress! Haha. Back in my elementary days, during English class we'd stage plays and in these plays I'd write my own scripts/stories and even direct and star in it. Yes, I was very much an all-around person then, but now that I'm in college, you could say that I'm more of a wallflower now. It's sad to think about this especially because I miss the me who was confident and the me who'd most likely take on the role of a leader instead of the follower. I guess, as I grow older, I just get more and more reserved. That my dears, is not good. Haha!

It was such an interesting night too 'coz the driver of the cab that we got into on our way home pleasantly surprised us by striking up some intellectual conversations with us. During the whole ride he talked of trajectories of bullets (and I was like: Ugh, physics?), theater, academic stuff and things that normal cab drivers (don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that cab drivers aren't allowed to talk of such things but c'mon, actually talk and debate about academic stuff too?) won't usually discuss with their passengers! Haha! Interesting Saturday night indeed.

Nightie with the Girlies

Long overdue post! :) Wore this out on a date with mi girlies last last Friday I think. I was actually going for a deconstructed, sort of post-apocalyptic look with this shirt and so I paired it with acid washed skinnies and blinged out with my silver accessories. It was then that I realized that my direction (in styling it) was starting to veer away from that look due to the silver accessories ( I thought it was more on the rocker chick side). So I abandoned my first peg and just went for the rocker chick look and when it was time for me to grab the perfect bag and saw this yellow bag while rummaging through my mom’s closet, I knew I had to incorporate it into the whole look and make this colorful contrast with the blues in my outfit. I was actually going for that messy look, but in the end my personality pushed me in this direction and I came up with a look that’s somewhat messy in a rocker way but still very girly and neat what with the fishtail plaits, the pink lips, and bright yellow bag. But what the hell? This outfit was so me. :)

Trying out the pink lipstick. :*

Wearing: Shirt from Mental, sequined shoes from So! F.A.B., acid wash jeans from Oxygen, bag from my mom's closet, necklace from The Ramp. :)

These photos were taken when me and my HS girlfriends went out on a Friday night to watch Inception. However, because Debbie had to be in by 9:30pm at her dorm (too early right?), and we all met at around 7pm at the mall, we weren't able to catch the film showing of the movie which won't conflict with her sched. So instead, we just ate dinner together and spent the night catching up on things.

Ah, I miss these girlies. We rarely see each other anymore 'coz of the conflicting schedules that we all have due to uni life. I miss those times back in high school, when we were always together every night at the McDonald's near our school. We'd chat for long hours and never seem to run out of stories and gossips to tell (even though we see each other and eat at Mcdo after school hours EVERY DAY to the extent that sometimes we tire of eating Mcdo food already haha!) and laugh so hard until the guards approach us to remind us to keep it down and then stay there until 10pm (classes end at 4:20pm)! Good times. Ah, happy and yet painful-to-think-about-memories.


Much Love,
