A GLOOMY TRIP TO REGINA ROSARII

One Sunday noon, my boyfriend abruptly text me that he and his folks will arrive to my house to pick me up because they’re going to Regina Rica. A pious place in small town of Tanay province of Rizal . This place is a sanctuary for those who soul search. The vast area of vicinity is full of lush trees and grass and hills. The true core attraction  of this place is the enormous bronze statue of Mother Mary that holds baby Jesus on her hand while standing on the hill in the heart of the place. Inside the wide skirt of the statue is actually  a mini chapel that can hold 20 persons and where the  monstrance or onstensorium is place at the center.

You know what, I don’t really good at describing a place like this one but this place is really really holy, in a way that I can feel it. And, given that I went to this place impromptu, I wasn’t able to bring my camera. So, bf’s cousins camera is enough for a little photo taking. ;)

This what Mother Mary and Jesus look like in more up-close. The fog is everywhere because rain is coming and the place is mountainous and elevated.

Thriftier's Outfit:

black and blue dress - Local Boutique

Knitted Blazer - Gallery; Thrift

The outfit I wore is just conservative because I know that the place has a strict dress code. They want the visitors to have a decent attire before entering the church or going to the foot of the mother. In some visitors who do not know about the dress code,  they have a stock of linen cloth that can be wear around your waist and tuck it to become a mid length skirt for the the extra skin that is exposed when they're wearing a short or a mini skirt/dress.

#2 VINTAGE MONDAY // I have made my Logo on Photo Shop!

 I want to share with you today.. I have made my logo on Photo Shop! Remember my past blog post with different logos and color. Well I’m just having an experimentation with my blog and hoping in the near future I will be able to design it or hire someone to make my blog a professional like made web design. Of course with the aid of my patience  boyfriend I am able to do the little photoshopping with these few letters and a little edit blur on the sides. He’s very patient especially whenever I am having issues with my “patience”.

Taken at the creepy space on the building.

THRIFTIER'S TOOTD:

Vinatge Inspired Sunnies - Random
Brass Elephant Necklace - Jewels in the Palace
Faded Gold purse - Gifted
Knitted Blazer - Gallery (thrift)
Red Shirt - Listed (offbrand)
Vintage Skirt - Vanita Sorella
Antique inspired shoes - Thrifted
 

Anyway this is very elementary and you can see some obvious flaws, I know I’m just happy with my first try.

  I've finally made the logo which can be watermarked on any of my pictures that I will post.

Because I wore this last Monday and I am feeling vintage-y that day here it is my Vintage Monday TOOTD.

Any advice for a newbie on photoshop? Feel free to share it and comment below.

RAINY DAYS AND DAISIES

Holla!

My partnership request to cityblis.com has been approved. You can see the picture below that I was on their partners page and I am so thrilled and happy because this is the second time that I was invited by a website to make partnership with after PersunMall.com. I have this feeling that my blog is starting to achieve something ( well sort of anticipating ). This is good for me because I won't have to think about leaving my blog floating, because sometimes negative ideas are crawling in my mind that I nearly give-up blogging. 

The following images below are the little photo shoot done last Saturday, when my Chibyusa had her 3rd vaccine shot. Rainy Days and Daisies, a mustard ensemble that I top with another d.i.y flower crown with fake roses and daisies. This is the first time that I use this kimono inspired outerwear, off-brand but I am proud to say that this is made by the local people in our province, and the big deal is I bought this item for just PHP 60, just a dollar right? 

Thriftier's Outfit:

Flower Crown - d.i.y
white flower earrings - Girl Shoppe
leaf charmed long necklace - Girl Shoppe
casio vintage retro watch - Authentic Watches
mustard yellow corset - Rachel's
silk shorts - chinese brand (thrifted)

Have a meaningful week!

pet loving,

<3

QUOTES FOR YOU

Before I go to work today, I brought Chibyusa my little lady dog to a veterinary clinic for her 3rd vaccine, and I was terribly worried when I saw some blood on her back. But they say it's normal because she's moving  under procedure. I don't have any ideas right now that is running through my mind except  I wanted to take photos outside because the sun shines beautifully.

Gloomy Week - Day 4 X Orange Pop

 I can't believe it! Philippines are just moving on after the floods and heavy rainfall that typhoon "Maring" and monsoon had given. And now on the news there is some Low Pressure Area that is being monitored. Gosh, until when are Filipinos gonna be "Water Proof"?

I guess we're just taking what we took on mother nature ;(

Oh bother, anyway we are still lucky that despite of the calamities, my family and love ones are not affected by this deluge, something to thank for.

Faded stretch jeans - Crissa Jeans

Gloomy Week Day 3 X Still life and Awesome Cuteness

 Hello my dear readers, how's your day? Mine isn't not that gloomy anymore and I am glad that tropical typhoon already leaves PAR (Philippine area of responsibility). I am proud to say that despite of flooding, Pinoy's resiliency is incomparable.

Today's post is just a still life of what I'm wearing. I didn't have time to take photos  why not taking images of their still life right? 

My sweet boyfriend treats me a snack over a cafe near our office building.

And when I got home, awesome cuteness welcome me.

Gloomy Week Day II - Looking at the Brighter Side

Floral Dress Worn Under - Local Boutique
Pale green maxis - Thrifted
Neon green belt - Genevieve
Vintage Watch - Casio

All of us had experience failing shortcomings in our life, some just live with it and for some it’s a curse situate upon them. I have encountered so many Shortcomings in my life at an early age but in those particular difficulties myself learned to be strong. With the love and support of my family I learn how to look at the brighter side, search for the silver lining and all that stuff. I realize how to wait if isn’t the time yet. I never questioned God why; I just wait and keep the faith..

The outfit worn here is way back a couple of months ago. I just dug them up from old files so that efforts won't put into waste. As you can see I change my blog a bit just to freshen it up and I infused it with simple pinky motiffs and fonts. I'm experimenting also with my logo making, credits on images may quite change in the future, but let us see. I'm still not satisfied on how it looks.

Always looking at the brighter side,

Gloomy Week Day 1 X FOTD

Monsoon rain and typhoon Maring shared heavy choruses of rain since last night, and today classes of all levels including some government offices are suspended. A heavy gloom Struck me and I’m unable to get up as colorful as I am. I’ve decided to wear all black because my mom told me that if it’s rainy or cold season dark colored clothes helps our body to get warm, I don’t know if there’s a scientific explanation for that but it’s effective for me. I am wearing an old top from Listed, a simple leggings and paired them with my favorite black pumps.

And for the first time I've got a nerve to share with you my FOTD. I am not a pro but I love putting colors in my visage. I do my face with smoky and semi-grungy look. Let me tell you my little secret on how I make making my eyes, I am lazy to use a brush so all this time I’m just using my fingers, the ring finger to be exact on blending, defining the creases and doing the inner corner and outer V.

On the Face:

Skingent Day Protective Cream - Hbc

Black eyeshadow - Quatro eye palette - Essence
Cheeks - E.l.f Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream

Eyeliner pencil - Ever Bilena

Eyeliner Pen - Hbc
Lips - Mauvey; Ever Bilena

---------------------------

OOTD:

Top (old) - Listed
Leggings - Dalagita
Pumps - Shoe Tree
Layered Necklace - Girl Shoppe
Wrap up leather bracelet & Skull+cross Bracelet - both Random

In case if you notice and wonder with my bushy eyebrows, I never shave nor pluck them. I just keep them that way. I'm not used into sexy thin brows but I bleach them at times whenever I wanted a different aura.

 Share your random thoughts and and feel free to give comments, keep safe everyone!

I want to share also that I’ve been busy selling snacks and coffee in the office. Tehee! some of you have done this too. This is my minor yielding, in view of the fact that I need to save money for future purposes and I’m targeting before the end of this year is to buy a piano or an organ perhaps. 

Keep safe,

Vintage Monday

It’s very cold and wet here in the Philippines because of the typhoon “labuyo”.  Gloomy day and makes me want to absent, but no-no-no today’s Monday and we still have lots of papers to be encoded and has to be reported next week. Argh.. When I’m writing this I feel like I have the eyes of Garfield because it’s going to shut any time. I’m so tired but I love this blog. I want to keep updated as possible.

This is the first time that I wear this vintage dress from Vanita Sorella since I bought it last march. Well, I just don’t know, whenever I wanted to put this dress on, I don’t have the idea of what set of accessory , shoes, or bags that I have to pair with it. The dress is really pretty at its simplest but whenever I am planning to wear this, my eyes always perceive me at my ugliest..(fat, dark skin tone, etc.) hehe I don’t know . so weird!

At last! I've made the best ensemble. Even it’s raining outside, I pull the dress on, no doubts and hesitations in front of the mirror.. 

Do I need typhoon to make wear this?

Polka Dress One and Only

I've been missing in action AGAIN and I miss updating my blog so much. This time I just want to share my one and only recorded outfit before the my workplace gone on the rocks. Woah!! so much stressful events has been occurred and been occurring. The 10 days that I've spent in the special task that I handle is very tough and prioritizing. I can't even take noon break. It still gives me the aftermaths of full paper and clerical jobs that I have ever imagine. Juggling time, work loads, and best antagonist/s in the office. I am still grateful that I can still carry on the stress and tiresome days.
