The Fairest of Them All

Had such a fun time on Saturday when me and my grade school BFF En aka nicolethedressupdoll went to UST to act as the personal photographers and to cheer on our dear friend Camille for her college's pageant. She made us all so proud by winning the title of Ms. Pre-Com 2010 and most importantly by showing us what a beautiful person she has become both inside and out.

Here's me and En wearing almost similar outfits because we wanted to be "Camille's Support Team" and personal paparazzi. Haha!

Camille is my childhood BFF and also my neighbor so I have really witnessed her grow into one fine lady. :)

Another proud moment: I lent her one of my debut gowns and she wore it SO WELL. She was the epitome of grace and elegance in my gown and the sight of her in it made me one proud friend/designer/stylist. Haha! When I saw her glide down the stage what ran through my mind was: "so this is how it feels like to see your design walk down the runway (well in my case the stage) and how Rachel Zoe feels like when she sees her clients in an outfit that she helped pick." HAHA!

The previous Ms. Pre-Com Queen. Her gown reminds me of princesses, fairytales and Belle of Beauty and the Beast. :)

Poised and elegant while waiting for the verdict. For the Q&A part, she was asked: "If you were to play God for a day, what's the first thing that you'd do to make the world a better place?" She calmly replied: "If I were God for a day, I'd give people more initiative because once people have more initiative, all else will follow." (It was more or less that. Haha!)

Again, congrats dear on winning! (Beauty and Brains, san ka pa?) Haha!

After the pageant, me and En decided to munch after a day spent snapping pictures and yelling our lungs out. Haha!

This is just part one of my term break chronicles. I've been going out almost on a daily basis and while it's fun to hang out with the friends, it's also leaving me broke. Haha!

Much Love,

Friday and Sunday Shots

Hello everyone! Hope you like my new header. I drew it myself and then edited it. Funny thing about it is that I used A LOT of colors for that drawing but then I decided to turn it into black and white 'coz you won't get to see the title of my blog against all the colors in the background. Sheesh. Wasted effort. Haha!

I'm just taking a break from doing my papers as you know that it is my finals week this coming week. Tonight I'm just going to post pictures of what has happened to me lately. These are photos that were taken today and on Friday.

Friday:

After our INTBROD a.k.a Introduction to Broadcasting class, my HUMAART (art appreciation class) blockmates and I went to Dianne's place in Makati to shoot a music video for our project.

I chose to wear something simple and comfortable that day 'coz I knew there were a lot of things that I had to do that day. I was wearing a black cardi from Babo, black tank from Landmark, leopard leggings from So! FAB, cute studded necklace from Pop Culture and the yellow purse was actually my friend's (thanks Meli!). I just thought it went well with my all-black ensemble so I decided to use it for this shoot. I am so loving yellow purses lately. They add such a nice punch of color and contrast to an outfit. :)

We had to climb up and down these stairs that day. Why so cruel, Dianne's house??? Whyyy?! Haha! :D

Our music video wasn't really scary or anything. The ketchup (we wanted to use pig's blood but according to Dianne's housekeeper, it was not available anymore during the afternoon so we just settled with using ketchup combined with soy sauce as an alternative. Hee) on Dianne's body urged us to take these "scary" shots.

Today:

For my INTFILM (Intro to Film) class, I had to interview local actress Glaiza De Castro for my final paper. She was really nice and she answered my questions really well. She was actually very insightful and humble. Love that about her. :)

Just a few more days 'til this hellish week ends. Fingers crossed that I finish my papers on time! Goodnight everyone and oh hello to my new followers! Thank you so much for appreciating my blog and thanks for the lovely comments too! :)
