SMILE YOUR WORRIES, LAUGH AT YOUR DEPRESSION




Hello All!

 It's been a tough first week of Love month for me. My beloved dog was diagnosed with Ehrlichia, and as a dog mom I am worrisome. I feel depressed, I am worried that anytime sooner she will leave me. She's a 1 year and a half and I haven't spent so much time with her. I brought her to the vet 4 days ago and proper medications has been give to her, even confining her is the best but it's a lot complicated because she don't trust anyone outside our home. Attending and nursing her is a struggle for me and for her too because she's too hard to give her medicines that she needs.I need to force feed her water because she lost her appetite and even urge to drink water on her own. With the help of syringes and cotton balls I was able to give her somehow enough water to avoid dehydration. All kinds of canned food I've tried, but no success. Basically I stayed 2 days at home just to ensure her. And Just yesterday, I got home, I saw progress on her, she can jump on her feet while welcoming me home.  I felt relieved, then, and I don't have to beg for her just to eat her food. I have never been so happy like these, unlike in the past few days that my own body felt weakness because of my depression. Chibyusa makes me a better pet owner, dog lover, and an animal lover in general. She changed the way I see through pets, although I've been a dog lover before, but not as deep as I am to her and to the rest of my dogs at home. Now I am positive that she's going to be a lot better and hopefully for a fast recovery from the infection that she got.


By the way, about the look, wearing a heavy knit pullover is a first time for me since the Philippines is a tropical country, and wearing very warm knits like this especially on day time is dependable upon the weather. Thankfully, even the sun is shining a cold breeze balances the temperature, so I can pull this "sweater weather" trend.  And I think the styling came out fine. To dress up the dress down sweater. I just bun my hair up and add it with a Bobby pins which are my hair's new best friend at the moment because I love braiding and doing buns with my hair again after I bleached it blonde. So that's my story for now. Thank you for stopping by here. I apologize lack of time visiting blogs these days because I really need time to take care my Chibyusa... I hope next week my schedule will be on a normal track. Kisses!

XOXO

AFTERNOON AT ST. BERNICE ESTATES ANTIPOLO CITY











Last January 25, Michael, my sister, my mom and me went to a  birthday celebration / despedida de soltera gathering at St.Bernice Estates. After pigging ourselves on the sumptuous food that the celebrant had offered us. Me and Michael, went out for a walk. The community is very small and the perimeter of the entire area is not that large, so a 15 minute walk is enough to wonder the entire neighborhood.  We make selfies and groupie if that's what you call that. Honestly, I don't intend to take photos on this day to publish on my blog, but since the photos that I took especially the nature together with the discarded area makes me think twice why not to post this. The dusk and the color of the sky adds an element of a remarkable moment especially on me and Michael.

We found this discarded tractor and the rust of it sparks an interest out of me so I snap and Michael does few poses too.  The trees without the leaves makes a statement along with the tractor. And I think they're being together a long time ago. The truck seems hasn't moved since the day it was abandoned there and it's been with the tree since.  I think I will lose opportunity in this lovely place because It will be a nice background for an outfit shoot, but then again, I don't live there and I don't want bug someone just to have someone let me, and to trespass a little community just to do my blog thing. I mean I might make a scene there. And don't like doing that. ;)

You catch me without make-up on this one guys. LOL! The dusk that we have here is very magical... that's all!

4th week of my Happy everyday Journey...

24th day - It was a fine afternoon of Saturday. When I look up, I find these clouds, very pretty that's why, I took a snap of it.Thankful, because I get to see small yet beautiful details of every day

25th day - Boyfriend and I went to St. Bernice Estates, Antipolo City to attend a little party. We walk around the vicinity and took few photos of us and the beautiful orange-y sunset at dusk with the columns of the electricity posts. By the way, I am wearing no make-up there. ;) I think I must do a separate post on all the photos and moments that we are capture that day.

26th day - Happy tummy because of my broil chicken and broccoli for dinner.

27th day - n the morning got me selfie with my newly bleach hair. Then after I run errands whole day that makes me tired, and took a selfie afterwards to see that I smile tired and my make-ups gone. ;/

28th day -I'm so excited because my 3rd Mac lipstick arrived that day. Lipstick is mac diva, and I have to try it on right away... #mirrorselfie there

29th day - Papa's 51st birthday. Before we celebrate his birthday at home. I go to work first and do undertone, but before that I bought an ornamental plant that I quickly forgot the name and my braid mirror selfie, I miss braiding my hair like this. The last time I braid my hair is when I was blonde way before my red hair. 2013? Or 2012, my my so long ago. Yeah, I miss doing braids..

And I think that's wrap!

VINTAGE MONDAY: I'M DROPPING THE RED CROWN

 Vintage Blouse: Thrift || Leather Skirt : Thrift || Black Pump Heels: Payless Shoe Source


Hellloooo!!!
Oh mi Gosh! I can't believe it's tuesday already! How's my time gone? Well, anyway, I know my Vintage Monday Post is quite late but I'd better post it than not and or my post will become wasted again on my draft.  

As you all know including my oldest followers on this blog that I have this red hair for a long time. Red whole head, fierce red shade, ginger red,Ombre red, orange red, all that shade of red. There are times that If I'm sick with my red hair I'll bleach my mane to have blonde, but then again I always get back to my red shade. All the way time has changed and somehow my predilection on hair color have grownAnd this time, and I hope I can (finger's cross) I will be dropping the "red crown" which is my red hair. I will be wearing this blonde hair for maybe quite awhile because I am planning to color my hair pastel. I haven't decided yet what color it is and the change from blonde to pastel hair won't be too soon because I don't have time yet since our office are moving again for the n-th of n-th time. So yeah, I will be blonde for maybe a few months or so, thoughthe bleaching process of my whole hair is not done yet, 'cause I have thick hair. So expect me to have a pastel streaks this coming summer.

About the look; This vintage blouse I'm wearing is given by my Mama a year ago. Every time she visits a thrift store, there will never had a time that she hasn't had something for me or for my sister. So sweet Mama! I actually learned from her my thrift store addiction. So I just paired the vintage blouse with my leather skirt and suede heels.
