{ I WANT BEACH & SUNSETS }

Critical analysis and decision-making can be draining. Sometimes I wish my work only entails the routinary typing and filing. When someone relies on you for decisions on things you yourself  is unsure of, now that can be tough. Because you don't want to be too careless on your advice or you will be blamed too in the process should it fail. So sometimes I wish I could just sit there stamp papers and probably daydream of beach and sunsets all day while doing stuff that does not need any major brain activity. But then that would be so boring right? But it does not hurt if i can have that peace once in a while.

{ VINTAGE & NAUTICAL }

I love it that vintage swimsuits are back. They hide every inch of the dreaded "puson" or those unsightly love handles.  At least I don't have to hold my breath now to tuck  the tummy in. Being a big vintage fan, I've always wanted to own  a highwaist bikini but it was hard to find back then. Thank God online shops are plagued with stocks of these swimmies.

{ A BEAUTIFUL DAY }

Early in the morningIt’s the dawn of a new dayNew hopes new dreams new waysI open up my eyes andI open up my mind andI wonder how life will surprise me today.

Happy 30th to me! :)
My only wish and prayer is that I'd live to see my parents live a longer life. That's all. Thank you Lord for the wonderful 30 years.

{ H I G H N O O N }

Can you feel the blazing summer heat in these photos? :)As far as I can remember Holy week is always the hottest time of the year. 


This is what I wore during lunch with the boyfriend on Maundy Thursday. We had to go on a semi-road trip to find an open restaurant because the malls were closed and almost every establishment was on holiday too. The only upside is that the streets were barren as a desert. Hallelujah!   

So my summer uniform consists mainly of this usual denim cut-offs, cotton shirt, a hat to ward off the heat from my face and the ever essential sunglasses to shield my too sensitive eyes from the blinding sun. And oh yes, plus an oversize bag with hardware big enough to complete the tough chic look.

{ PACKING ALL THE COLORS }

The first two days of my holy week holiday will be spent doing my Catholic obligation of self-reflection and attending masses and processions. 

The next two days will be fun and relaxation at the sunny island of Camotes. It's our first time there so I'm beyond thrilled thus the reason of my early packing. :)

 Packed the brightest of clothes and bikinis i could find because summer is all about colors and more of them colors!

Saturday, please come sooner. :)

{ SUMMER SNAPS }

Color, florals, beach, intricate details, cherry blossoms two blocks from where i live. Just some of the snaps of my summer life according to my phone. 

{ LITTLE MISS BUSY BEE }

Juggled Saturday with a birthday party, meet-up, movie date, and some midnight ukay in downtown Cebu.

I attended my bestfriend's post-birthday treat first at Cebu White Sands. Then proceeded to do the meet-up at Ayala to pick-up the vintage stuff I ordered online. Initially watching a movie was not part of the plan but the boyfriend can't resist the Wrath of the Titans. I had to control myself not to doze off half of the movie. It was not that bad but I think I kind of had enough with these gods and titans thing I've seen lately (we previously watched The Immortals, too).  Was supposed to call it a night before Vanessa East texted for a midnight ukay spree with Aisa of Drowning Equilibriums who was in town for a styling stint. I didn't know the ukays at Carbon are open until the wee hours of the morning. 

All in all it was an eventful Saturday spent with the most fun people in the world. It was draining but it was a day well spent. :)

Photos below are from Eda's birthday. As much as I want to document our ukay escapade, bringing a heavy DSLR was not a practical idea during that time. haha Plus the boyfriend's gonna kill me if he finds out I brought something so tempting for those notorious people Carbon is known for.
