bohemian love

almost five years ago, i put on a blind-fold and took hold of his hand, not knowing where to go, not knowing where we'll end up. here we are and our hands are still tightly entwined.

cheers to 2012!

Good morning 2012!
the Sembrano tres marias -- meeting 2012's first sunrise! (forgive my sister Aimee, she doesn't realize Cebu pavements are not as clean as Aussie's..LOL!)
Mr. and Mrs. B's first new year as a married couple! ♥ ♥ ♥
Harry, me and my kulit sister, Aimee!
Sam, Kate, Armand, Aimee, Me and Harry
i miss Armand! 
family's night out? LOL.
Mr. and Mrs. B ~ Harry & Gizelle + Aimee + Mr. and Mrs. Tan ~ Warren & Charm
with the super hilarious Mary Ty, one of the amazing designers of MEGA YDC. our jaws hurt from laughing!
now, on to the outfit...
polka tent blouse - primal rave | bandage skirt - primal rave | black strappy heels - people are people
brass cuff - shopyapi.com | feather necklace & brass layered necklace - downtown finds | rings - downtown finds

Aimee's outfit: pink bandage dress with sleeve cutouts - primal rave | chain bag - vintage
leopard heels - people are people | necklace and bangles - downtown finds

can you guess what those things are beside the lion?




the polka dressing tradition continues! this is my 4th new year wearing polka -- they say it's good luck and brings in more money for the year! here's to not just more money but more love, guidance from God, opportunities to seize and risks to take...

2011 was definitely a roller coaster ride for me. half the year were mornings where i didn't know whether i wanted to wake up or just sleep through the day but i was blessed enough to realize life is too short and took mine back. 2011 blessed me with a job that i loved [all this time], a promotion, a fiance, a family reunion and fiinally, a husband. 

to 2012, may you bring as many opportunities and adventures as you've given in 2011 -- only less confusion, heartache and drama. ♥ ♥ ♥

photo possibilities + body clock change



i meant to do a post last night but i had to watch and take care of Harry at the hospital --- he got admitted for a bacterial infection and has had a fever on and off. he's doing a bit well now, if you should ask. he still has a slight fever but he's no longer having chills.

the photos here were taken at one part of the office area. the place is teeming with possibilities and i can't wait to shoot in all areas possible. the office is located in an advent center which looks like a really big house and our room is on the first door. aside from the interesting areas to shoot outside, the building has a terrace with talisay trees in the background and white wooden panels on the walls. on the way up to the second floor is a wooden staircase, some antique stuff like old radios, typewriter and antique sofas. the the center is on a compound which also has an italian restaurant --- haven't eaten there thought as they say it's quite expensive. good thing the aroma of the italian food doesn't reach the office because one thing i have discovered on a 'day' job is that it definitely has heightened up my appetite. if you've notice, i've gained weight in these photos. 

i think i've gained about 5 lbs. i just can't stop eating! i think i get hungry every 3-4 hours which is not good for me because i easily gain weight. although i am not on a strict diet as i eat whatever i want like sinful desserts and all the meat i can eat, i try though to choose food items that are healthier like brown rice, whole wheat bread, lean meat or char-grilled all-meat burgers instead of the ones found in fast food chains with meat extenders in the form of eggplants that easily absorb oil. shifting to a day job has certainly shifted my hormones and body clock too and so far, i am still adjusting. hope this adjustment transitions faster because i might no longer fit into my clothes! (or the denim levi's high-waist cut-offs i thrifted last month which i have yet to wear! buhu...)

okay, so the following photos below are a result of a gay friend who has worked for Drawingboard for more than a year but was only encouraged to be gayer because i started working their too. we decided to wear heels this day and maybe on all other days in the office. you might find his face to be familiar to you --- meet Armand Alforque in black booties:

striped oversized cardigan - thrifted
white tank top - thrifted
grey skinny jeans - thrifted
black peep-toe booties - celine (gifted from harry)
pink suede belt - big sister's closet
robot necklace - downtown find
rings: black rectangle stone + white round stone - props
work watch - swatch

summer of one-oh! ocean series: waking up to waves


oh how i wanted to have a fourth post so i could put up the fun photos my cousins and i took. but i promised you guys i would only do this in three posts...besides, i think i need to get back to my life in the city. getting too caught up in my daydreaming is not good for me.

i woke up to the sound of birds and the waves. the tide was coming in and all of us couldn't wait for it go high by around 9:00 AM. harry and i took a little walk, checking out weird sea creatures (there were bubble or balloon-like stuff on the sand...it was jelly and when you picked it up, it would break and spew out water). right after breakfast, my cousins, together with my sisters and i, took some photos by the water and again, by the house. the goofy photo was just us and the self-timer in my camera. we had a blast just dancing and jumping around. 

and look what my mom asked my dad to do! she had a tent brought to the beach so she could bathe without getting directly hit by the sun! LOL. crazy mom...i think you can see one of the locales scratching his head thinking, "wtf?" haha!

outfit details: 
just woke up: graphic tee - maek | polka shorts - props | 
at the beach: green floral dress - maek | pink bikini top - justyne |
going home: blue printed dress - thrifted
accessories: yellow floral scarf - thrifted | bangles - props | sunnies - thrifted at carbon
 | bangles - props | sunnies - thrifted at carbon | dog-tag necklace - custom made

at the end of the day



....it is healthy to just laugh it off. the last few weeks have been really stressful for me. the culture of my previous company was so warm and filled with guidance and now, i'm the one left in charge of a group with different personalities and managers with very fast-paced lives. maybe it's because i started out building my leadership skills in my previous company so i was dependent at that time. now, there are decisions that i have to make that i never thought i would have to before.  phew! my back is literally aching.

one good news though... i have finally managed to ask to take this monday off -- just so i can breathe a little and unwind. most probably get a massage. and just watch dvds. in short, pig out. haha!

wondering why i'm laughing so much in my photos? that's harry asking me to do his dance.LOL.
i'd like to thank karla bautista, by the way, for getting me these shoes. have been coveting F21 shoes for a long time now. anyone want to send me F21 shoes with free shipping?haha! i'd pay for the shoes.

grey graphic tee - maek by karla | grey pin-striped vest - thrifted
denim jeans - chillypapas | grey platform heels - forever 21 | black twined star necklace - props
blue spade ring - props | circular cuffs - props | pink sunnies - thrifted at manalili

and speaking of PROPS...
there are awesome ring candies on my shop that are for sale from PROPS.
check it out!
