Neutral Sunday

Easy Sunday dressing for a lunch with the boyfriend. 

Wore this peach lingerie top I got during  my exclusive shopping spree from my officemate's vintage collection. She has lots of vintage finds and she was kind enough to sell me some at the lowest price. I love her! It's a good thing only us two share the love for vintage clothes in the office coz I get to monopolized her great finds. hahaha 

Wearing thrifted peach top, tulle skirt from July-Ayala, thrifted belt, straw fedora from SM, shoes from SM 

I am also sharing with you guys the engagement photos of Carlos and Alcott which we shot a couple of weeks ago at the Mancao ancestral house in Carcar. They wanted an edgy and dark borderline-goth engagement set and we were more than happy to oblige.

It was after the engagement shoot we took for a client when the boyfriend and I decided to hit the beach. I was taking pictures of myself and the sceneries while he was refreshing himself with the cool waters of Moalboal. He waved to me to join him but i declined because I wanted to work on my summer skin glow. LOL He was getting irritated by the minute so I succumbed to his request. I hit the water.
Little did I know that the next 30 minutes or so, something life-changing and memorable is going to happen.
No, I was not attacked by a shark.LOL
We were laughing and playing around in the shallow water when he suddenly became so serious. He asked me what I wanted for V-day and after a short thought I replied I want some new flipflops for the summer. I changed my mind and said i wanted a new pair of shoes.
Then I noticed he was holding something under the water. I could not make out what it was, I thought it was just a precious piece of sea shell.
Curious and without any clue, I haphazardly asked him in my cutest and naive voice (pointing to that something he was holding) "What's that?"
He just smiled and let that thing out from the water. Then I saw it was a box. Right then and there when I saw it, before he could say anything I was just laughing my heart out while he uttered the words, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?". I was speechless and dumbfounded. I just laughed and at the same time cried for like three whole minutes. Then he asked me again because I was just so caught up in the moment that I forgot to reply to his proposal. I told him "OF COURSE baby!"

We have spent our past three Valentines day together in Moalboal. The place is extra special for both of us. And he knows that the beach is my favorite place on earth. He chose the perfect place.

Someday, when we're already married and rich, we're gonna build our own beach house in Bas Daku, and reminisce the exact spot where we made it official.
I love you very much baby. Always and forever.
Now I'm being mushy.
But who cares?

You make my world a summer day

My bestfriend is getting married and the boyfriend and I covered their engagement session.
My other bestfriend and her husband also tagged along so it was altogether a vacation and a shoot. The last out of town we had together was almost a year ago in Bora. They are always a ray of sunshine to be with. I love them to bits! :)

The beach was a 2 1/2-hour ride from the city but it took us almost 6 hours to reach Malapascua Island; a sprawling white sand beach north of Cebu. We had a little stop-over at one of the famous lighthouses to shoot the first set of the engagement session. We reached the drop-off point to the island at lunch time but had to wait for the boat to reach full capacity. The other passengers refused to get on the boat just yet because they didn't wanna miss the mayweather-marquez fight. Anxious to get to the island fast, we resorted to renting the whole boat. haha

It was a short trip because we had to go back to the city the next day due to work. Major bummer. Boooooo!
Most of the time were spent shooting but oh well I'm just happy that I get to enjoy the beach even for a little bit. :)

A big shout-out and THANK YOU to CHRIS AND BERNS FASHION for lending us some of the dresses. For fab, chic, and affordable finds, you can check out their shop located at the Maze Ayala Center, Cebu.
