Bye 2014, Hello 2015!
December 29, 2014 • Thoughts
Now that 2014 is nearing it’s end, a lot of people are
cramming to prepare for the new year. As
for (amateur) bloggers, we are now supposed to do the mandatory new year/reflect back/new life post. I was trying hard to come up of a topic and
suddenly I found myself typing on Google: Top 10 New Year Questions.
As you all may have notice, I am not a keen fan of experimenting with colors. I am more of the stick to the basics type when it comes to colors. I'd get a dark top and pair with with a light bottom and vice versa. This time, I had the guts to mix a bit of color just because small details still kind of matched. Not really a risky outfit, but it's a start.
Slowly Everything Happened So Fast

This post is long overdue. Forgive me.
My brother finally finished his first Short Film under Studio Sari.
Our Christmas celebration was very simple and
exclusive. It has been like this for the
past 2 years since our whole family situation went kaput and my Mom passed
away. DO NOT get me wrong, this ain’t a
melodramatic blog post and also, I am not all that sad with the set up. Our Noche Buena may not have been as
extravagant as others, BUT the past 2 years (of Noche Buena) have probably been
the best family bonding we ever had.
Koizora (Sky of Love) is a love story between main characters, Hiro & Mika. A typical teenage/highschool love story where boy meets girl, boy courts girl, girl falls for boy (vice versa) and the whole whirlwind of romance and heartbreaks begin. Typical? Not really. The story line might be over used and predictable, however there are aspects of the movie that just showed the reality that there is today with teenagers or maybe even life, in general.

I rarely do outfit posts because I ain't no fashion blogger, but when I do, it's something I kinda wore the first time.

This year, given the problems my family and myself is going through, I didn't want a grand celebration which is what I usually do. I just wanted to gather my favorite people and celebrate with them and only them. :)
SUPER LATE UPDATE: Bench // The Naked Truth
October 06, 2014 • Events
Hello Everyone!
Since I married my job lately, it's been a struggle for me to actually take a minute to write an update here. Anyway, if you read my (second to the) last blog, you'll know that the last event I've been to is the Bench Fashion Show: The Naked Truth.
I guess I won't be sharing much updates anymore, because almost all the intriguing parts of the show already went viral and were discussed on TV or the radio.
I'll just share my favorite moments of the show :)

The Naked Truth: A (temporary) Addiction...
September 20, 2014 • People
If you're actually a friend of mine, you'd know that I have issues with being addicted to something for a period of time and then just forgetting like I was never addicted to it.
Like that time I got addicted to stars and all my clothes and bags had that design. Or, that time I was addicted to dresses and bought loads of them, though I never really wore them. I even had this addiction for Kim Beom (Boys Over Flowers Character) and all my wallpapers were of him.
I can be addicted to just about anything or anyone. It usually lasts for about a week or a month and during that time, I'd literally go gaga over it --- meaning time and money spent.
This month, my (temporary) addiction is focused on Joseph Marco :) Yes. Him. That dude singing his own rendition of a 1D song, when I actually don't like listening to 1D. Haha! :D Told you it could be ANYTHING or ANYONE. Literally.

It just had to be a topless photo. Haha! |
Of course, there had to be an outfit post using my wall, because it's so cute. Haha! Anyway, this outfit is mostly consisted of the basic stuff. It was rainy and I am a commuter. Comfortability and protection from the cold weather comes first!

I'm not much of a fan of watching pinoy movies in the big screen (not that I don't support it, but I think most of you will agree that most good and quality pinoy movies are not the ones played in large cinemas), but for this (and Daniel P) I made an exception. :P

If you actually know me, you're probably saying "WTH is Alex doing there?" Yup. I actually got a few messages asking why was I there after a few instagram posts. :P Anyway, I was there because I was invited by friends (Tee & Kumiko) whom I haven't seen in a very long time and happened to have extra VIP tickets. :D
After months of not touching my hair, I was able to get the natural texture of my hair back. The downside is that my hair has about 2-3 shades of color which I did not intentionally put in there. I have semi-blonde streaks, that fading blonde color when your hair comes from a red dye and dark brown which is my natural hair color.

My Friday morning ritual consists of opening my laptop, launching my outlook email and then checking my facebook news feed as my inbox receives all the emails I'll have to read before the weekend starts. I came across something that really caught my attention and commenting to it wasn't enough for me. So, I decided to blog about it.
I am no big time or famous blogger, but every entry I do, I try to make sure I've researched all my facts. If I'm not so sure, I try and put it in a manner that says I am not confirming the detail, but simply sharing or maybe even asking.
So, moving back to the reason for this entry:

I guess it's self explanatory why this caught my attention.

Last Sunday, July 29, I had lunch with the boyfriend's family for Uncle Fer's birthday and 40 days. It was a small gathering with GREAT food. How did I dress? Of course, I wasn't my usual rugged self :P
After the lunch, the boyfriend asked me to join them at the Emperador Football Stadium to watch his cousin's championship game. So... yeah, I didn't dress right for the occasion :P But nevertheless, I went with them because I was excited to watch a live soccer game for the first time. :)

Tindahan ni Aling Puring 11th Annual Sari-Sari Store Convention |
Hello people! I'M BACK!
So, this is basically what's been keeping me out of the loop the past months. I've recently been promoted (yey!) and handled this 6-day convention for Globe Charge & Gcash.
When I first joined my company around same time last year, it was also the TNAP season. I didn't know what it was about because being the newbie, I was left to man the internal office relations of my team while they're all out at the convention. I only heard 2 words about it, LARGE and tiring. Well, it really was! BUT fun! Almost 2 weeks of sleepless nights, 7 days of waking up and going home dark.
Sparkle In Sugar!

Who would've thought that what you put to sweeten your coffee can actually make you sparkle? Yes, I am talking about sugar! Well, Claudine of Pink Chikk did! Once again, my favorite local skin whitening & slimming shop has released it's very own face and body scrub.

What I wore to the first day of I AM BOLD Apparel's first bazaar at Mercato Centrale, The Fort.
I am not a fan of tight fit clothes, or as my calls it "No eat - No breathe Fashion". The only reason why I purchased this black MTO corset from @cobonline was because I wanted to see the material used for the corset and basically how it was all sewn together.

Writing this down, while lying in the sofa with so much baggage in my heart & mind.
I've never had the energy to write about my feelings in a very long time. Apart from the fact that I really do not have the talent to write, I also do not have the courage to write about my life since I turned 23. I used to keep diaries/journals since I was 12 and kept writing till I was about 18. I still tried sharing my life/thoughts/feelings in multiply, xanga & tumblr till I was 23. On my 23rd year on earth, it stopped. Facebook boomed, and mostly it was just status rants due to (mostly) self-inflicted pain.
Looking back, I ask myself, what happened when I was 23? When I was 23, I lost the one person who actually loved the real me and treated me like a real princess. When I couldn't get him back, I started entrusting all my decisions to alcohol and my so-called friends, losing myself in the process. I started flirting around thinking that it would be the best way to get over the whole painful part of moving on. I actually got almost every guy I wanted at the palm of my hands (this is not being arrogant - it's just easier when you don't let emotions get in the way... emotions scares most of them), but none of them treated me like a princess. None of them took the time to actually get to know me. None of them touched my heart the way he-who-got-away did. I jumped from one "relationship" to another not realizing it was slowly destroying the real me.

Honesty is STILL the BEST Policy
January 06, 2014 • Thoughts
The first Monday of 2014 didn't work out well as planned. :| I still woke up late and naturally was late again for work. BOOHOO, Alex. :( Anyway, I wouldn't want to blog about being late on the first working day of my 2014, right?
So, during my cab ride to work with the brother, I scanned on my facebook feed to find something sensible to blog about. Suddenly the taxi driver called my attention and told me to look at his taxi meter. He said "Ma'am nagalaw ko po yung metro bumilis masyado yung patak, bawasan niyo na lang po ah". I was still a bit sleepy so i just said "OK". A minute after, I realized how honest and good this driver is. It was so ironic because last month, I hated a very very rude taxi driver (I even submitted a report about that taxi driver on www.taxikick.com) for refusing to board me and my brother and today, I meet this one in a million type of cab driver. :)

Hello Everyone,
I just moved in here. :) I hope ya'll can bear with the bare layout as i'm still in the process of designing this whole thing :)
I'll be starting my "serious" blogging here. I will still be focusing on personal entries, but will also include other stuff from now on. I'm no writer so don't expect much. -_-
I'll try my best to entertain and keep it interesting. :)
<3 Alex
