Blast From The Past

Tomorrow, I will submit my midterm paper for INSERCH. Oh and yeah, it's my 19th birthday too. How nice, my birthday week is also midterms week in school. Blech. Guess I'll have to pull another all-nighter tonight. Huhu. What about my beauty sleep? Haha!

It's actually the first time that I'm dreading having to add another year to my age. I dunno, I think it's 'coz I'm afraid I haven't accomplished much in the last years or maybe I'm just being too hard on myself and I don't see the things that I have already achieved. Well, whatever. All this birthday stuff had me reminiscing about last year's celebration. My 18th was definitely something I would never forget mainly 'coz it made me see how much I'm loved by my family, relatives and friends. That night I was extremely grateful to God for gifting me with another birthday and for everything that he's given me, my friends who live in the South 'coz I know it was definitely a looong drive to QC but they still came anyway, my high school and CTAC friends who surprised me by showing up when they said they couldn't make it, my grade school friends that have stayed in my life even after my life in GSCS, my blockmates who made transitioning from high school to college easy and bearable for me and my family for loving me so beautifully and unconditionally I could cry. :">

I'll just have to remind myself how lucky I am for everything that I have in my life 'coz now that I think about it, worrying myself about getting old is so stupid and petty. I guess when we get too comfortable in life we tend to forget how blessed we are. Though I won't be getting enough sleep tonight, I'm so thankful for tomorrow. :)

Much Love,

Toughen Up

(knit cascading vest-thrifted | tank-The Landmark | DIY ripped jeans-Jag | shoes-Parisia Jr.)

Oh I just missed wearing an all-black ensemble! Isn't fashion so much fun? You can go from being a girly-girl in a frock to a rocker chick in ripped jeans! I like different styles and I don't want to just stick to one look only. Then again, I adore those people who have a certain look and have found their own "style". Oh what the hell. Let's all just have fun with fashion. :)

I wore this when I went to the mall with my niece and my 'Lil sister for their voice lessons in Center For Pop Music Phil sometime last week. It was the first time I accompanied them and it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a trainee then as well. Ahh...I hate the feeling I get when nostalgia washes over me and leaves me feeling sad.

PS. I ripped these jeans myself and I love it!

PPS. Please excuse the disheveled hair. I tied it in a ponytail and when I let it loose I couldn't do anything to straighten it for this shoot. But you gotta admit, it added a 'lil something extra to the overall look (or so I think it did haha).

Much Love,
Scarlet April xx
