If you know me in real life, specifically my senior high / junior high friends that has been studying in the same university as me, just shut your mouth since I know what's on your head right now. HAHA.


But here's a quick outfit idea if you're going out! Very flowy and casual. This look is entitled "pulang araw" and yes. this is inspired by someone's kulto HAHA. Just don't mind my captions and have a look at this look. okayyyyyyyy.












Also, 95% of these photos were taken by me 10-year-old brother! Here's a rare photo of him! Appreciation post for this fella since he's my freelance photographer since day 1. haha. give a clap for my brother, since he takes amazing photos for my blog!

Finallllllyyyyyyyyy I was able to chill earlier and wrote something on my journal titled "不后悔" or "no regrets" in mandarin. As classes are about to be over, there are a number of things that I wanted to do before the classes ends. Yesterday, me and 2 of my friends were walking on the way home, and one of them asked me why I do such things that isn't really necessary (like confessing, and stuff) and I told her, I regretted a crap ton in the past and I want to change my life this year.


Ever since 2018 started, I have encountered numerous serious chats about love, friends, studies, etc. that pushes me to open up and tell them how I really feel. There was this guy who happened to be my friend's crush but he tweeted my name with a heart emoji. I know it was nothing and all but I am considering what my friend would feel if she'll saw that tweet. Few days later, I really did asked him if he likes me and he said no. Though he said hurtful words to me, I am still thankful that I did that. You may think that I'm very assuming or whatsoever but he's pushing me to ask him that question. He's trying to hit on me and I am aware of that since I am not an active messenger user and it is rare for me that someone, a guy in particular, makes an effort to message me almost every night, asking me school-related stuffs even though we aren't in the same group and cheering me up when he feels like I am down.


I tell you, there are some questions that were left unanswered up until now. But it's already fine since both of us were already trying to move on from that incident. Though there are still some times where he unintentionally or intentionally helps me, I am trying to act like I don't really care but in reality, I do.


Honestly speaking, being yourself isn't easy as 1,2,3. Especially when you haven't reveal your true self to your friends. When I talk about serious cases, I often get criticize and it is a good thing for you to become aware with your actions. But sometimes, they also get the wrong I idea and it is hella annoying. That's why I am thankful that I started this blog back in 2015. This serves as my platform, where I express my thoughts, ideas, etc. and you, who are reading this, I may or may not know you but hi! thank you for taking time to read this post and I hope I did helped you in some matter you've been going through.


My point is, if you want to do something, DO IT. If you want to speak up, SPEAK UP. Being scared is normal but letting your fear control you isn't. Last week, I was able to take a picture with my Philosophy Teacher that I have always admired since our first meeting. There was this one time that I needed to go to his desk and let him check my test paper for a correction and I told my friend to take a picture of us. It was honestly a stolen scripted photograph. haha. But just last Wednesday, with the help of my friends, I managed to take a picture with him by my side. To tell you honestly, it wasn't all about my teacher. It was also about the subject he was teaching. Though there are sometimes the discussion is very boring, I still love the subject. And with just 5 months, studying Philosophy, it really made me realized that there are some things that you can or cannot change and it is up to you how you deal with it.

To my first ever Philosophy Teacher, thank you for everything Sir. I may be just an ordinary student of yours that admires you so much, I wanna tell you that I fell in love with the subject that you are teaching. I don't want the semester to end partly because of you, but setting jokes aside, Philosophy is worth studying and even though I sometimes it is like a roller-coaster ride, I always enjoy studying different philosophers with different thoughts. I may be just a no-plans-just-simply-enjoying-life-and-studying-because-my-parents-told-me-to-do-so student but I tell you, someday, I will make every one of you, proud. And also, I am proud enough to say I was under by you! and I couldn't believe I got a high mark since I am aware that I didn't do well during the 3rd Mastery Test. But anyways, thank you again Sir! Till our next meeting :) #PulangAraw


And to you, who are reading this, remember you do not have to follow everyone in order to fit in. Stand up and tell the world what you really are! Life is too short to say "no" in every opportunity you possibly can get! Step out and be you!

St. Patrick's Day is coming up, and I thought why not exert a lil effort? Our country doesn't really 'celebrate' St. Patty's day, (i guess it is something big in the west but nope. not in the pacific.) but heyyyyyyyyy, your girl wants to be festive as much as she can. This blogpost aims you to show a make-up look, outfit idea and a treat that you can rock on St. Patrick's Day! Let's start of with make-up.


It looks like I don't have make-up on but trust me, I do!! It's a very simple make-up look, not really a scene stealer but still screams I'm a wee-bit Irish! (For clarifications, I don't have an Irish blood. haha. My parents are both Filipino w/ a bit of Spanish & Chinese blood.)


I start off by applying concealer to the areas I needed coverage, like my under eyes, my chin, and some parts of my forehead. Blend it all out and set it with your favorite powder.



For eyes, I took a brown eyeshadow and apply it all over my lids. Taking a small eyeshadow brush, I took some green eyeshadow and apply it onto my lower lash line. Going back to my eyelids, I take a cream eyeshadow and place it on the inner half of my eye lids. Blend it out with the brown one.
This eye look was inspired by Meredith's Video, (you can check the video by clicking me!). And modified it a lil bit to suit my style.



Curl you lashes and apply a couple coats of mascara. Now, here's my lil twist, take your highlighter or in my case, a white shimmery eyeshadow and also take a lil bit of green eyeshadow. Apply it to the area you used to apply your highlighter. Or I you already have a highlighter with a green undertone (i think there's no one) , then you can go ahead and wear that like normal.


For lips I just went for a sheer liptint.




As for fashion, I went for a lil out of my comfort zone, a a green dress and paired with sneakers and a choker.
Dress - Thrifted
Choker - Broadway Gems
Socks - Daiso Japan
Sneakers - Keds




Bonus treat! Want to get way more extra so here's a mug cake that you can make on St. Patty's day!

You will need:
4 tbsp. Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
3 tbsp. Sugar (white)
1/2 tbsp. butter, softened
4 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
pinch of salt
few drops of green food coloring until the desired color is acheived

*mix the wet ingredients first then start adding the dry ones. Put it on the microwave for 1min & 30seconds depending on your microwave so you need to check it from time to time. In my case, I put mine for 2mins.*
** the mug cake recipe was orginally from https://bitzngiggles.com/easy-vanilla-mug-cake/ and did changed a bit to satisfy my likes.*

I have been meaning to do a tutorial like this for a looooooooooong time but I always say "nah, maybe next post" or "lol too basic" yet this afternoon was different. Finally putting it up! Here's a quick make-up tutorial that I always wear whenever I go to the mall, doing errands, meet my friends, etc. just doing some daily activities. I used a minimal amount of product to create this look! Very quick and easy!


To start off, take a pink lipstick and draw two straight lines on the apples of your cheeks and also to your nose. Keep in mind that the line must be drawn horizontally. I used lipstick for my blush since this lipstick has been lying around for over quite a period of time now and I don't want to waste this product and my money so I'm making the most out of it. But if you have a regular powder blush/cream blush, go ahead and apply it to your cheeks. (you can even use your liptint!)


I really don't get bothered how dark my under eye circles are so I then go and set my face with a pressed powder. But If you want conceal some of your blemishes and even your under eyes, feel free to do it :)


Curl your lashes and apply a generous coat of mascara. Applying mascara can create such a huge difference since it makes your eyes look more awake.


For lips, as usual I go for a red matte lipstick but not too bold, no,no,no,no. We ain't gonna go for that bolder look. We want to achieve a fresh, young, cute look (lmao this is too much but lol anyways) I usually swipe a lil amount of the product onto my lips and blend it right away, and on the center part of my lips, I go ahead and apply a nude lipstick to balance out everything.
