Fashion Styling - Life Styling?

Fashion school has already started and I am such a lazy blogger.

This was during the beauty shoot (Day 2 - i missed the shoot for Street)

Day 2 is Women's RTW - prints on prints

Day 3 is Men's RTW (my favorite so far -hihi): school boy

This is my layout - apologies for the blurry pic - took this one with my bb

Me fixing Eriko's outfit - my layout too =)

So far, we had 4 shoots already (i missed the first one) and all were super fun! It is a little bit tiring though. Going around, chasing after models, giving instructions and wardrobe changes.

The satisfaction it brings every after shoot compensates for the effort. There are lots of awesome ideas being pulled in. Even those which at first I thought wouldn't work turns out to be good - or beyond good.

I am not yet sure if this is really the kind of career that I want to pursue - but at least, for now, I know that I'm happy doing it =)

Will post the fully edited pictures in a bit =)

love bag!

Fashion school started on saturday and it has been a lot of fun! But what made it more memorable is this beautiful brown baby :) I've always wanted a satchel, but thought it was a little above budget - so I just settled with just staring at it everytime I see it. Fortunately, I am the world's luckiest girlfriend, HE surprised me with a brown satchel day before fashion school starts! Aside from the it's neutral color, which I super love, it's so huge, it fits everything! even my work laptop! I love this bag so much! but not as much as I love the awesome uber supportive boyfriend :)

Time (this is a mushy post)

He unexpectedly gave me this beautiful colorful clock days before christmas – and I wondered why he would always give me time machines.

Time. So precious, easily taken for granted, can be expensive, some would claim that they have a lot of this, while most would say they dont even have a second. I valued time in so many different ways. It was always time for important things, time for things that matter. I have also said “i dont have time” for several instances like when I proclamined that I don’t have time for love. I’ve always been busy, with a lot of things and I wanted to do a lot of things. I thought having a bf will limit me. I know i wanted one but i dont know by when. Then you came. I remember the exact feeling I had when you first talked to me. The exact feeling I had everytime you comment on my facebook post. Then it happened. I thought everything happened so fast. I thought I didnt give me enough time to get to know you well. But I guess the cliche is true, when you know, you know.

I enjoy every moment I spend with you. Every second is so precious that I hope it never ends. If only I can not sleep amd just stare at you, I’d gladly do it. They say I’ll get over that feeling – “mawawala den yan”. We’ve been together for more than a year now and the feeling is still the same.

Thank you for spending time with me in every way possible I value every text message because you spend time typing them. I appreciate everytime you commute from your home to mine, so we can spend time together. There are a lot of other things I’m thankful about and I can ramble about them all day.

Before, when people ask me why I dont have a boyfriend or when I’m gonna have a boyfriend, I would always say, in God’s perfect time He is just writing a beautiful love story for me and I dont mind if its taking too long. His perfect time indeed came and I’m glad I waited.

Thank you and I’m looking forward to spending gazillions of time with you, I love you :D

Gloomy Romantic

Speaking of gloomy weather, my fave highschool teacher posted this on her facebook wall:

Walking hand in hand with my husband under the heavy rain without an umbrella and getting soaked was totally ROMANTIC. I would want to do it again every chance that I'd get. - Leah Salinel

awwwwwww, sweetness

this weather is not gloomy afterall :)

Happy thought of the day: Prenup Shoots

I am having an off day. Prolly becuase I'm not feeling well, feeling a little feverish, or maybe because, again, for the nth time, the gloomy weather.

Anyhow, like most days, whenever I feel off, I turn to my happy thoughts. So, happy thought of the day: prenup shoots!

I've always been a fan of creative, non emo prenup photoshoots. I'm all for colors, nature, happy bright faces. Not really into lets-try-not-to-look-at-each-other kind of pictures. I think it's annoying.

Here are 2 of my recent faves:

I just love how genuine this picture looks! Plus the fact that it was taken in one of my favorite places, old Manila. The carefree outfits, the random strangers, the total concept. This photo took my breath away. I had to pause and tried not to cry.



The outfits are again A+. The big red heart is pretty straightforward but it's the Lover's Lane that brought a smile to my face. I have a nice memory of this place. I also think that it is always romantic to have a prenup photshoot in your alma matter - that's just me.

To my dear friend, Colleen April Celis, yes, Cyrus Baguio is married.

what would you do if...

Friend 1: My boyfriend is a fan of online gaming..
Me: and?
Friend 1: there is an online community
Me: and?
Friend 1: I happen to see his message board one time, I did not intrude, I saw it by accident. He messaged the game's top scorer, saying something like, congratulations on being number 1 etc etc
Me: and
Friend 1: the top scorer is a girl - a pretty girl wearing a sexy outfit in her profile picture
Me: mmm
Friend 1: is that even right?
Me: I bet your bf said it's nothing, he just congratulated the top scorer
Friend 1: he did say that
Me: you accepted it?
Friend 1: No. If the profile picture was a guy with a baseball cap and thick nerdy glasses, would he have congratulated him?
Me: I don't know. Maybe your dude is just, friendly
Friend 1: Freakin Flirt.
Me: I wouldn't like that if that happens to me too. But I wouldn't make it a big deal either. If he says its nothing, its nothing, but it shouldn't happen again.
Friend 1: Right
Me: Thing though is...somehow..becuase of that..
Friend 1: Say it
Me: I will have this thing in my head that he is actually capable of messaging people he doesn't know and the suggestive outfit makes it worst.
Friend 1: My point exactly
Me: mmm
Friend 1: what?
Me: guys will be guys..they will always check out girls, not matter how faithful they try to be
Friend 1: I get that...and I'm all for his checking out girls, I check out boys too, what bothers me is that he initiated a conversation with a total stranger. It was a private message.
Me: Ok, now that's not cool. If it were public, then I get it. If it's private, what was his intention?
Friend: I know...
Me: It's ok...as long as it ended there it should be fine
Friend: right

resurfacing

It has been roughly 2 years since I posted an entry here - the reason being is that, I forgot my blogspot password and was too lazy to initiate a password reset.

I am blogging again. A lot has happened in the past 2 years and I mean a lot! I hope I can summarize everything in this blog post. SO, where do I begin?

I can't remember what happened latter half of 2009 so I'm gonna bypass that part :P

First half 2010:

May 2010:

I can't remember anything before our legendary KL-SG-Bali trip. That trip was memorable. We rode almost every vehicle known to man. We were travelling 80% of the time. It was exhausting but it was worth it - more than worth it actually.

I got back in the office around mid-May and there were already a new batch of hires. They hired a lot while I was away - I felt alienated for a while. I really didn't care about these new hires since we get them like every month. They were introduced to me but I easily forgot about them. A lot was going on with me at that time, work, personal stuff and what not.

Drama

I Finally got rid of it - cleaned my closet - for real this time.

July 23-24 2010

SAP Practice Offsite: I decided to join the Groove presentation becuase I haven't danced for a really long time. Around that period I kinda felt that it was going to be my last.

The offsite and the presentation went well (felt alone though as Ira didn't make it to the offsite and Katt went home early due to a asthma attack). During the offsite party, I decided to be friendly with the new people. I invited them to join me and dance with the rest of the company (literally). On the way to the dance floor, someone approached me and praised my dancing. I was like, Thank you! I was still groggy from the tequila shot I just had so wasn't really paying attention. The party was getting duller and the people were getting drunker, so a teammate asked me to go to one of the rooms where the rest of the team were apparently, drinking. I was still groggy, but what the heck? More alcohol means more fun right?

That groggy tipsy night started everything. The culprit of culprits.

August Something 2010

If only I can recover that 8-hour facebook chat.

August 28, 2010

The first time we went out. I had dance class, he had a review (which I think he ditched?). After dance class we decided to meet up in Shang. It was typical. We had dinner, movie, ice cream, went home. But what happened since that day was far from typical.

To be honest, I already noticed this dude when I first saw him in the office. He was tall, lean, dark and had a man purse - the man purse sealed the deal.

I remember a friend telling me, pag naging kayo, I'm gonna do a silent dance in my head - she did.

Several cyber flirtations came then exchange of 1 millon text messages a day followed. Whatever happened after that was history. Documented in every breakfast surprises, movie tickets, meal bills, radom letters etc. Let me just say that it was the most surreal phase of my 2010.

I can go back to that groggy, tipsy July night in 2010 and reminisce. Too many memories to write (will blog more frequent from now on). Bottomline, I'm happy.

Oh, I also resigned and found a new job.

Did I mention that I'm happy?
