Hello Panglao Island Part 1

Hype my look on lookbook:

Panglao Island lies on the southernmost part of the Bohol province (Philippines) connected by two bridges to Tagbilaran City (mainland Bohol) which is the capital of Bohol. This island is my mother's hometown. I used to go here every August when the town is celebrating it's annual fiesta. The island is home to beautiful beaches and amazing dive sites. Lots of foreign and local tourists come here to have their vacation. 

I stayed at my Aunt's house for 4 days, visited the beautiful beaches, swam the sky blue sea, looked for beautiful starfishes and collected some seashells. (I will post soon a Panglao Photo Diary)

"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make it happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see it - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."

One color look does not only rock on runways but also they rock on attending parties, events and dining out with friends!

Here's our version from the trend!

I paired these bright monochromatic dresses with neutral colored shoes. :)

This is what I wore during our beauty and fashion shoot that me and my good friend Mai organized. I paired the Denim Vest with Denim Shorts and made my outfit look softer by wearing it with a pink tank top. For extra comfort throughout the photo shoot, I wore loafers. :)

PS: Me and Mai will be posting about the shoot soooooon! Mai was in charge of the make-up and I was in charge of styling the models. So excited! :)

Special thanks to Rocena and Mayang =)

Then and Now

Goodbye Nursing. Hello Law School! =)

I am the one who dreams, who dreams of becoming a robotic engineer and a lawyer.

This is my step 1 to dream-come-trueVILLE! Back in college, I was forced by my parents to take up nursing. I really want to take up engineering but sad to say my parents won't let me. 

And I can't even believe that I finished BSN with flying colors and passed the National Licensure Examination for Nurses! My parents even expected that I would not take my nursing studies seriously  (they expect me to fail HAHA) because I don't like nursing; but then, I reflected that my parents worked hard to send me to a good school; and studied hard.

Now, I'm a first year law student this June. I hope and pray that I can survive USC Law School.

Thank God that I was given another chance to finally take up the course that I've been dreaming of. 

I will be forever thankful to you Lord, Papa and Mama and to my friends who are ever supportive to me! :)

PS #1: HAHAHA Look at my face when I was seventeen years old! My face looks fat! Now, at my new USC ID, my face is like trimmed down and ahhh I think I look better on that ID! hahaha!

PS #2: From USC-TC (University of San Carlos - Technological Center), I will be transferring to the USC - Downtown Campus. This is will be my new school/home!
