Panagbenga 2012: Grand Street Parade

I still have hangover with our Baguio trip! :) I miss everything! Went there for this year's Panagbenga Festival and here's a photodiary of the Street Parade happened last Saturday(Feb 25).

We're a bit late according to our itinerary. Hee. Supposedly we will arrive in baguio around 6am, but the traffic in tarlac is horrible to think it's already 3 or 4 am. Arrived at baguio around 8, we didn't waste a moment went straight to lower session (if there is such! Haha) and pick a spot.

We bought our trusty kiddie mat, it's useful! We ate while waiting for the parade to start.

To start off!

It was colorful, vibrant, lively and beautiful! Definitely one for the books! The costumes, the bands, and the igorots hehe, I love them! It was my first panagbenga festival by the way, so imagine my excitement, I'm super giddy until now. Okay, i'm OA. Haha. Have you been to this year's flower festival? Share your stories! :)

Twice a charm

Here's a decent photo of what I wore to our Day 1 Baguio Trip :)

F21 Sweater, Cotton On shorts, S&H Boots, Khush Bonnet,

Topshop Belt

Does this outfit look familiar? Haha. I love my shorts and boots combo! Perfect for Baguio's weather, shorts to complement the strikey sun and sweater to keep me warm because of the chilly wind.

Goodnight everyone! :)

Touchdown Baguio.

Went to Baguio over the weekend with family and friends for Panagbenga. I'm so excited to blog all about it, but first stop first: Lion's Head :)

Feeling tourist lang. Haha!

Sorry no outfit post, I was super busy taking pictures. I wore my favorite combo though, my trusty cotton on denim shorts and aldo boots! :) I'll be doing separate posts for everything. For now, have a goodnight sleep everyone! :)

Happy 5th Birthday, Nuffnang!

When I started blogging just for self expression, I never really knew the basics of a blog. I didn't know I have to put ads or some kind of editing to make it more appealing. I was a kid back then, I was a true blue blog hopper, link after link after link. Inspired by my favorite blogs I tweaked my blog then read some tips on how to add readers more than just myself. I tried to sign up for some affiliate programs so that I could add color to my blog. Again I was a kid and didn't know that I could actually earn by using them. To cut it short, I am a copy cat. Haha. I got old and remove some ads that I totally forgot how to log in them and check the status of my posted ads. Then stick to nuffnang. Really, no kidding.

I was envy back then though, I only have the same campaign all over, while my favorite blog has different campaigns. But now, I'm happy that after being a 1 year and so months of being a nuffnanger, I love it. Is it just me or that campaigns in my blog are really awesome these days?

I just want to thanks Nuffnang for being part of my blog life! I wish you more campaigns and more power to your team! With this, they are celebrating their 5th Birthday on February 27. Wear your awesomesauce blue dress and party with Nuffnang team and other nuffnangers at Borough, The Podium Mall, 12 ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City.

This was even made possible by their loving sponsors:

Happy Birthday nuffnang! Bring it on!

Zebra plus Bows

Went to the christening of my best friend's baby yesterday and this is what I wore.

Thrifted Zebra Print Top, Levi's Jeans, Gold Dot Shoes,

Mango Sling Bag

Hype this look on Lookbook and Chictopia <3 

I chose pants yesterday for no reason but just to add a little formality since I'll be attending a christening I wore this sleeveless zebra print top, it grabs attention but still right for the occasion. Also my new gold dot flats complements my top well. I am becoming a little lazy to pile accessories because of the weather, it's sunny then will rain later on.

Happy Monday everyone! Work week again :)

Pale

Went to the 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival today with my family. As always, I love balloons! This year they look all the same, maybe it's because of the color. I still love them! Will post some of the pictures tomorrow.

Here's what I wore. :)

Thrifted Aztec Top, Cotton On Denims, S&H Boots

Yup I look pale or more like dehydrated? This was taken after we conquer the scorching grounds of Clark Airfield. Just for the love of balloons.

I was hesitant at first to wear this loose top because it's super cold in the morning, but since we're running late I didn't change na. Come 8 in the morning it was like summer! Sobrang init, swear. Plus points I wore my boots because I would probably end up with a dirty feet. Haha

By the way, I've been using this Aztec top for like 2 times in a week since I got it. Comfy? Check! Print? Check! Subtle sheer back?(No photo) Check!

Hype this look on Lookbook and Chictopia :)

Not too young

This is what I wore for a day of shopping with my mom before NYE.

 

SM Dept Store Top, Thrifted Sleeveless top used as dress, Zara booties, Steve Madden watch, Ai Fash Accessories

I built my outfit around this sleeveless top I got from a thrift store, I have 3 of this mind you hehe, spell hoarder. I love the versatility of this sleeveless top because the length is just good for a dress or for plain top. And don't just that pleated bottom skirt style says edgy?


If I want to be edgy I'll just pair it with another black items from my closet like a leather jacket or if I want to be girly girly for a day I'll make sure to put on something like this princess printed top. This is not worth an outfit shot without the help of this top. I know this outfit is too young for me, but how can I resist this cute top from SM Dept Store with princess-like print on it? How about you, do you have one item in your closet that is too young for you? Share it! =)

2011 Memories

The past year has been a roller coaster ride for me, full ups of down. This ride has taught me everything I should know and things I should know through the years I will still encounter. I am blessed with life filled with responsibility and challenges. I have shared with you guys, through this blog, what mostly happen in my life in the past year. Through my first party of the year, holy week vacation, graduation, summer vacation, outfit posts, events and the like.

Thank you to my readers, you don't know how excited I am every time I see in my dashboard that I have new comments, because through that you were able to appreciate the reading through my humble blog. 

Thank you to my lifetime supporters, my family, my real life friends, and online friends. Thank you 2011, BRING IT ON 2012!

Summary of my 2011 after the cut (WARNING: Heavy photos)

Camouflage or Paint splatters?

I had the longest day last Saturday to somehow forget what happen to my puppy. To start it all of, we were able to watch the first part of Breaking Dawn finally! As I've mentioned, it's what I expected it to be, same as the book. Boohoo for me, because I literally know what will happen next! On to my outfit.

Thrifted Studded Blazer, Landmark Sheer Army/Paint Print, SM Dept Store denim shorts, Le Donne Shoes, The Ramp Crossings Bangles, Anagon Cross Ring

Please hype this look on lookbook and chictopia.

Thank you for the photos Joana!

I'm so confused with the print on my top! I don't know if it's some kind of army print or just paint splatters, hence the title. Well, I'm also considering for the title with stud/studded in it, because you can see studs in my blazer and in my sandals too! :) Bipolar again with a shorts and a blazer, here in the Philippines, you should always be ready for the sun and rain. 

Sorry for the almost night pictures, the movie ended around 4:30pm so we rushed outside to take outfit shots!

By the way, hello to the bikers on my background! :) AND Today's the day! HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO MY BLOG! :)
