Bloggers United Strikes Three!

 

Third time’s the charm for the most anticipated fashion bloggers event in the country!

 

Bloggers United is staging their third bloggers bazaar this June 2 at the Grandview Events Place to once again gather Manila’s top fashion bloggers in one single venue outside of the World Wide Web. After holding two successful events last year, Bloggers United has easily become one of the most anticipated affairs for both fashion bloggers and readers in the metro.  More than just a bazaar, Bloggers United also partners with charitable groups to use and channel their influence in a positive manner.

 

Through the overwhelming power of social media and blogs in today’s generation, the previous Bloggers United events have successfully joined forces with top fashion bloggers like Laureen Uy, Camille Co, Kryz Uy and many more to inspire their followers and to raise funds for various beneficiaries,  namely KIDS Foundation and GMA Kapuso Foundation. This time around, the event will benefit Operation Smile Philippines.

 

The event gets better and better every time! To make Bloggers United 3 even more momentous, top Indonesian fashion blogger Anastasia Siantar of The Brown Platform will also be selling alongside Cebu fashion bloggers and our very own top celebrities Divine Lee & Sarah Meier.

 

So, if you love blog-reading and blog-hopping, Bloggers United is sure to be the perfect end-of-summer bazaar for you. Not only will you be able to bump elbows with your favorite bloggers at the event, but you will also be able to snag some of their own stylish statement pieces as they open their closets to sell to the public. Stay-up-to-date with the biggest gathering of bloggers by following us on Twitter (twitter.com/bloggers_united) and Facebook (facebook.com/bloggersunitedph), and bookmarking our official webpage (bloggersunited.org).

Yay! This is where I am going now :”) Thank You, Lord! I pray Daddy God reserves the pieces He wills for me :)))) Actually, my savings aren’t much but what I am more excited of, is to meet the bloggers behind the blogs I really love again and meet new blogger friends :) OMG. Some of them I would meet for the first time in person! And tweeting with them for the past days got me more excited.

There’s nothing nicer than to meet people who share the same passion and understand the same endeavor! :) 

Thanks for my free pass from the fabulous blogger Joanna Ladrido :) Who’s going? See you there! Oh yeah, I’m from Los Banos Laguna heading to Makati, Manila.

A blessed day! :)

♥ my Candy Style Awards 2012 experience

Note: Sigh, I don’t know where to begin. But oh well I am aware that, I always begin like that. Teehee :)) BTW I know I’m not on my personal blog but this is a fashion event so I think it’s worth sharing to be in my style blog :D plus, I’m a candygirl forever.

(coz I am too wordy you might just want to scroll down fast and view the pictures LOL)

Really, I still can’t get over with what happened last May 4: the first ever Candy Style Awards. It was such an answered prayer to be there..the first Candy event I’ve been to :) Met fellow candygirls, a few celebrities, candy cuties, but most of all, the bloggers I look up to and Candy Editors that have been inspiring me for years already! Now I can’t wait for more Candy events and fashion events :)

My parents finally allowed me just that day itself, as long Dad will accompany me back and forth. Yes, you might say my parents are so-very-overprotective, but I can’t be more than thankful for it. :’)

So yes, I was going there. Yay! But there were few hesitations. 1) I wasn’t prepared with what to wear. Haha. Attendees were encouraged to wear their most stylish outfits :D I really went for a simple outfit, though, one that I would normally wear for a normal schoolday. But more than that, 2) second hesitation was I would go there alone. Had I known days before that I’d be going (grammar nazis, I need your help LOL) I would have texted my bestfriend Anna, and my candy girl friends like Prei and Keselle for us to have this fashion date :’) But no, too late I was inviting them that same day.

But with courage, I decided to go anyway. God answered my prayer to go here. Why hesitate still? :) I felt His comfort. “Daughter, I’ll be with you. You won’t be alone. Never.” And I felt that more when that same day—an hour before Dad and I left—I received the Air 21 parcel containing my candygirl shirt which I won through Ms. Lissa Kahayon’s blog :) [will blog about it in a different post] Awww I was really teary-eyed when I received it. I knew I had to wear it that day :) It feels so meant to be!! Though a fashion event doesn’t often welcome shirts, and though I myself is not a lover-but not a hater either-of shirts, well this one is definitely not just another shirt :) Aside from the fact that only few chosen people own the same piece, this shirt speaks a large part of who I am, that part which brought me there at the event in the first place :)

I am. A true-blue. Candygirl. Forever :’)

So yeah, I went despite these tiny hesitations and questions. After all, one of the characteristics of a true-blue candygirl is she’s fearless for the right reasons :) She would bring confidence with her wherever she goes and that would take her far. She would not let any hesitation or inhibition hinder her from letting the right reasons bring out the best in her. Thus, a true-blue candygirl opens every opportunities with a smile even though at times, with fear.

Now as I’m looking back at the pictures I took then which I’d be posting below, I can’t be more than thankful. Thaaaaaaaaanks Candy! :)

Arrived at PowerPlant Mall by almost 6 o’clock already.. :) Above’s a picture of the long line of stylish candygirls waiting outside Rockwell Tent. And that picture doesn’t even show half of the actual line. :)

Anyway, above’s the ultra-simple-outfit-for-a-fashion-event that I was talking about  :)) But I liked it though. Worn my fave girly-rocker color combo: black and pink. It was simple but it made the statement of my shirt stand out. And I think that mattered more :) More about my outfit in my outfit post here. 

I was alone when I came there, ‘til I met fellow Candygirls Nika, Joann and Shane. They were the girls next to me in line. One of them accidentally bumped me and said “Sorry.” I said “Okay lang” with a smile :) And that started our conversation :) These girls were so nice I didn’t feel like a stranger :) Thanks still to Candymag for teaching every reader how not to be afraid in meeting new people and building new friendships. :D 

Shane

Joann

Nika :)

I envy them because they are incoming senior high school students :) I so wish I am still in highschool. LOL. (I found college more enjoyable, though, but highschool is just more memorable..)

Inside the venue! :)

A picture of Megan and Lauren Young giving their speech for winning Best Stylish Sisters :) It was one of the awards given to the show. (Awards were given to the most stylish celebrities :)

Candygirls shouted out as Somedaydream gave his intermissions :)

Two of the most inspiring people I know, Mimi Tiu and Marla Miniano of Candy magazine =)

By the way, here’s a picture of Candy Style Stars Laureen Uy, Kryz Uy, Patricia Prieto, Sarah Lahbati, Jasmin Curtis-Smith, Tricia Gosingtian, Jaz Reyes, and of course, Mango It Girl Camille Co! :))))

With ate Vern Enciso of A Shoe Tale :’)

I was watching the event when, I saw the Enciso siblings moving out of the venue, so I ran outside too because I felt they were already leaving. I soooo wanted to meet them. Thankfully, I did! And oh my gosh, they were so nice and sincere :”)

Before I got to approach them, someone went to them first, I think it was a brand. Then Vern looked back and saw me, and smiled. :’) The conversation is still going between them, and she looked back at me and smiled again. Those two smiles meant a lot for me :”> Then she told the girl who was first fixing things to take a picture with her “Saglit lang ha, unahin muna namin siya.”

And that was it! OMG, they came to me. I was so overwhelmed. I can’t believe the people who I just see in the internet are right now in front of me, smiling :’) They were so kind. Really. They were the ones who took the pictures :) Vern thanked a lot when I said they inspire me so much. Verniece asked “Anong pangalan mo?” “Grace.” “It’s really nice meeting you!” OMG :’) I know those are just simple things but it meant a lot to me. They were so humble, so sweet, so real. OMG.

It’s one thing to inspire your readers through your blogs; making them feel special, even in little ways, is another. :’) 

This is my picture with Verniece Enciso :)

After I took pictures with them, I was teary-eyed and I felt that I still want to talk to them but I don’t know what to say and I know they’re about to leave.. All I said was “Sobrang sobrang saya ko po nakilala ko kayo thank you so much!”

And after that, I went to the venue. Still feeling overwhelmed. Still teary-eyed. Then two drops of very small tears of joy fell :) Of course I wiped them instantly. The event was so happy. Duhh, no room for tears. LOL.

With one of the people I love—not just admire—the most, ate Linn Oeymo 

But guess what? After wiping the two little droplets, I haven’t prevented more tears from falling when I saw Ate Linn! I love her so much. That tight-hug-after-a-year-without-seeing-each-other, OMG, made me cry.  I missed her so much. I’m a Linnian so I met her last 2010 and 2011 in the show Shoutout. And haven’t met her again since. Yet she didn’t forget. Didn’t change. :) “Kamusta ka na? Kayo? Si Jen? Sana magkitakita tayo ulit. I miss you!”  Those sentences were one of those that echoed the most in my head. 

Anyway, here are more pictures :)

with the gorgeous model, Janina Tan! <3 been seeing her in the pages of Candy for years and now I met her face to face :) -*stunning*-

Also met the gorgeous girl behind Mbrella Multimedia :)

With Male Blogger Robbie Becroft of the awesome blog Robbie Off Duty 

With Tracy Ayson of Fashion Fangirl :) She’s even prettier in person! <3

With Kelly Medina of The Travelling Boots! =) Check out his blog post about Candy Style Awards: http://www.kellymedina.net/post/23092925646/candy-style-awards-2012 and see all the winners and details of the event! :D

OMG, with the superb Tricia Gosingtian! I love it that she offered to hold the camera :’)

With my most favorite fashion blogger in the entire world, ate Camille Co! (she messaged me in lookbook saying it’s okay that I call her with the ate haha) She was in a hurry because she already needs to go that time but I’m so glad I interacted with her even for just five seconds. :) I know I will see her again. I will. I will :’)

I really love this shot! If you’re the girl here with Kryz Uy, (you also might be a blogger, yey!) I’d love to know you and put your name here:) I was actually waiting to have a picture with her but I often let other people first thinking I can take a picture with her anyway so I can wait. But then, after some more shots, she already needed to leave and went in a hurry all of a sudden and said sorry. Sayang I didn’t had a picture with her but again, I know I’ll see her again :)

I also haven’t had pictures with bloggers Patricia Prieto, and Laureen Uy :( Laureen was surrounded by so many fans. I also wished that I had a picture with Lissa Kahayon! I saw her—and was stunned—before the event started but the procrastinator that I am was like “At the end of the event is the time for that.” But she left early I guess and haven’t seen her again that night :( Supersayang. I wanted to say thank you to her, it seems like a nice first meet that I am wearing the Candygirl shirl I won through her giveaway and just arrived that day itself! Awww :’) 

Anyway, now I’ll be sharing pictures with some of the Candy Cuties! To say they are cute is actually an understatement :)

I think he’s the cutest :)

He was one of the friendliest :) Enzo.

One of the kindest and I also think he’s the jolliest of them all, model LA! :D 

The Candy Cuties weren’t just cute but were also nice and gentlemen to all of us candygirls! Though I am usually not that comfortable with “akbays” in real life (prolly except in pictures for a few seconds, and with close friends) but then haha, Candy Cuties are exception to the ‘rules’!! LOL. :) They were friendly to all of us Candygirls and Candymen.

Of course, here’s a picture with the fabulous Candygirls I met and spent the night with :’) I seriously want them to start their own blogs, too :) Thanks again, gals! (If ever you’ll have the chance to read this :)

It was really a memorable night. I didn’t expect it to be because I was literally alone when I came. But Daddy God is so greaaaaat for giving me a day like this. And so is the great dad He gave me here who brought me there and fetched me afterwards. :’)

Before leaving the event. Pose with “Candy” :D (more outfit shots in my outfit post) Anyway, I also met the awesome Candy editors who inspired me and still inspires me and 100,00+ candygirls, but I will put them on a separate post :)

That’s all for now. :) Whew! Such a long post. Sorry I really am a very talkative detailed story teller. I’ll try if I can be more concise next time. Did you also go here last May 4? :) just curious :) I love fellow candygirls :)

GOD BLESS and stay stylish dearies!

PS I hope I’d publish my unfinished drafts one by one now :O

I don’t know where to begin.

I hate it that I always begin that way.

I hate it that I am always preoccupied. I hate it that I write and type, then I save it as draft because it is not done. Or I am not contented. 

I hate it that 90% of my life, I feel the urge, the need, and the the desire to blog, but I only get to blog 5% of those.

I hate it that I am such a procrastinator.

I hate it that I have soooooooooo many things I want to do but I don’t do things one at a time, leaving me getting things undone even more.

I hate how fast time is. I can never comprehend how fast time is. And my nostalgic self finds it hard to move on. I remember the things that happened a year, or two or even seven years ago. O.o I love it though, but it makes me unable to enjoy the present a hundred percent.

I hate it-how I spread myself too thin with so many plans, and dreams, and interests, and now, blogs. I want to have a single site where I can be random but right now I have seven different blogs. LOL. I fell in love with different templates. HAHA. I wish someday, and I know I WILL, learn how to make my own template :O 

I hate it that I have so many plans which are often undone. Oh, I also hate it that I am so very redundant, because I think I already said this above. LOL.

I hate it that I am kind of aware the “I hate it that” and “I hate it how” is like grammatically wrong but I kind of love how it sounds.

I hate it that my head, but mostly, my heart, has so much to write, SO MUCH, but I can’t let them all out. They’re too many.

I hate it that whenever I want to write about something, I write about something else. Oh believe me this almost always happens O.o I guess it’s a trickle down effect of my always-preoccupied mind. I will write about this, I need to release OMG, but wait, there are still A THOUSAND BRANCHES OF THOUGHTS which are left unwritten, oh no, got to write them first.

I hate it that I enjoy the present in the future, when it is already the past. 

I hate it that these are just 5%, or so, of what I hate now.

I hate it that I am never contented with what I write.

I hate it that I love writing, but I am afraid of it most times because I know my hand will ache a lot. And I am afraid my too-much-hard-on-myself eyes will hate what I’ll see after. Yet it is always those random ramblings I write which satisfy me the most, compared to my writings that I wrote with my “aware critical self” button turned on.

I hate it whenever my perfectionist self overcomes my spontaneous, incoherent self when it comes to writing and expressing my thoughts.

I hate it because I know most of the things I wrote here will be repeated in future different posts. Because I am that redundant. It feels like every sentence here is a post on its own, every sentence has invisible thousand sentences that follow them. Yet to be written. Or possibly, would never be written at all. Especially their writer is a victim of sloth. But I will try my best to free that writer. She needs to. Or if not, I’ll kill her. Get my [water]gun and shot the mirror. Kidding.

I hate it that I have so very many, several seeds, but my laziness hinders me from planting them all. Even just one at a time:(

I hate it that this post is not “appropriate” in my style blog, and should be in my personal, private blog (there I am again—I hate this struggle.) But I hate it whenever I feel this feeling. I hate it that I don’t get update this blog as much as I want to and as much as there are many outfit shots, reviews, photographs that are in line, stocked up in my documents, or in my DRAFTS :/ 

I hate it that my thoughts are faster than my speed of writing, some of them flying away too soon before I even catch them and put them into paper, or err, into one of my blogs.

I hate it that I hate myself at times. Or maybe oftentimes. LOL. But I love her, yet she hates me. LOL. I don’t know. My relationship status with myself maybe is “It’s complicated” I hope, one day, I will value myself the way I value my very bestfriends. Because I love them to bits. Because I’m never hard on them. Yet I’m always hard on myself.

I hate it that I have so many to love in my life, yet this is what I’m writing.

I hate it that no matter how much I write, it always feels there’s something more to write. That no matter how I express and release what I feel, words maybe just aren’t really enough. I hate it that I don’t express what I want to express the way I want them to. I hate it that I think better than the way I write.

I hate it that I am never concise. I hate it that even if I plan to write just a sentence, or a facebook comment, or whatever, it turns out to be either a novel or a novelette. It feels like every sentence I say is a start of a thousand more. And it feels like I said this before. Yes, above. Ugh, I am soooo redundant.

I hate it that before I write, I always find it hard to begin, yet when I start, I always find it hard to stop.

I hate it that I am so wordy. That I don’t know how to end this.

That even if there’s more to say, I hate it that I’d rather end it this way. <3

[This blog is in danger of becoming a personal style blog. :/ I think it’s becoming more and more inevitable. But my personal blog, Nostalgia, is so filled with personal ramblings, virtual letters to old friends, insignificant thoughts, NOSTALGIC memories, and I don’t want to let it go. I dunno, let’s see in the future.]

I hate it that I’m so confused. (akala ko ba tinapos ko na itong post na to >.<)

I don’t know.

All I know is, I should dare to publish this, even though I feel it’s still undone, even though I feel it’s inappropriate for my styleblog, even though I’m not contented with it, instead of saving another draft..

PS. dearies, can you relate with my problems? LOL. By the way, I hope everyone’s excited for the next schoolyear! :) But as for me, I don’t feel it yet :( I’m excited for the incoming Bloggers United 3, though. :) Oh yeah, my first time! If you’re going there, see you! God bless, loves. =)

embracevanity asked: Deaaar, I have a lot to thank you for. >:)< You inspired me to update my beauty blog again. Hihi. Looking forward to the day when I will feel beautiful, just like you always tell me. :)

OMG. This made me cry :’) Seriously. Haha I’m so dramatic again but really, I’m shedding tears now in front of Tumblr. LOL. Thank you so much, dear!

This, this message (omg i didn’t expect to receive such from a beauty blogger! Haha) made my day. But aside from the message itself, I am crying coz I will be really missing you next semester as you shift to Diliman :’) Though I know our friendship will remain :) It would just really be different not to see you that often in LB. :’) I’ll miss the moments we shared though they were not that many yet since I only met you last January 13.. But again, just so you know, you are one of the few people I consider the closest to me :( Who will be far literally next semester. But still, close to me, figuratively.  :’<

Anyway, ano ba ito an drama ko na haha! I forgot that I was just actually about to answer this message concisely (but then when did I ever become concise LOL) and not write an I-miss-you-virtual letter, but I cannot help it. Maybe my tears really demanded my fingers to type these words. Char :’c

Sigh. There are soooooooo many things I’d like to say but I don’t want this to be a novel, basta pag nagkita na lang ulit tayo haha. But I’m scared to cry again in front of you like it’s graduation day LOL. Ah, nakakahiya umiyak sa harapan ng beauty blogger! Hoho (there I am again) Chos xD basta, I’m excited when you’ll visit LB again :’) Text text :) Keep in touch, and please, don’t forget to believe that you are beautiful. You are, dear, you are :) You’re the only one thinking you’re not :p

Thanks again and sorry for this answer’s length. LOL i miss you even though May 24’s just a week ago. I rarely publish messages questions but this one touched me so much I can’t resist not to. :) And i’d love to recommend your beauty blog link too haha :)

I love you dear Reneeeee! 

^See? Maganda pa sakin katabi ko dito ee! :) Haha. Grabe lan, I will surely miss this person <3 (and the way he teaches me and our friends how to speak French :))))

PS hope to see you this Bloggers United 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS 2. Dearies, check her beauty blog Embrace Vanity <3 definitely worth following! I bet you’ll add Renee Christopher to the list of bloggers that will inspire you the most. A multi-talented Iskolar ng Bayan, promising fashion designer, incoming European Languages student at UP Diliman, highschool champion of National Schools Press Conference (editorial) ..that’s a glimpse of Renee :)

Pastel color blocking and such.. (Pelikultura Day 2)

Stripes in light pink, cream, lilac, skyblue. Tucked in a turquoise skirt. Added with brown touches in terms of bag and belt. Then a pair of lilac rubber flats. Plus accents of blue accessories..          (btw, sorry, grammar nazis, i know ;)

..Color-blocking made subtle.  Chaaaar :)

sorry for the venue and low lighting quality in the photos btw :O it was a very busy day in school last February 23. These shots were just rushed in between the things I had to do then. And next thing after the picture-picture stuff was voting for UPLB USC CSC Elections. Whew! :)

Anyway, onto my outfit, I wore one of my favorite combos again. skirt and a long-sleeved top. :) 

Flats, gift from Aunt; The top? Bought it at a thrift store. Good cheap find! Love the stripes, aside from their lovely candy colors, they’re also vertical :) You know, it’s that it-makes-you-look-a-bit-thinner thingie I’m believing.. haha

flowy skirt, BIG BRANDS shop at Robinson’s

( please excuse the haggard face haha! XD )

This skirt is one of my favorites—and also the favorite of my fellow lookbookers hihi Most of the comments I receive when I uploaded this look were about it :) It’s so comfy yet it’s not too short :) just right. And oh, not to mention it’s only 50 pesos!

 pink attache case, National Book Store

Necklace, my brother’s girlfriend’s gift :)

I looove its crystals and layers :) Anyway, my eldest brother and his girlfriend has just reached their tenth anniversary, and it’s a first-and-last love. :) Not to mention they maintain a pure relationship. Now they’re just saving up for marriage and a sustainable, promising and prosperous family life in the future. Ideal, inspiring relationship, isn’t it?! I know this is a style blog but oh well I find it reaaally worth sharing :) Hihi so now let me move on with the outfit :D

silver thin bangle, from Aunt; BEST FRIENDS friendship baller, 101 boutique; ‘customized baller’,from my father :)

Anyway just another little story to share, the friendship baller has its twin, and it belongs to my highschool bestie Anna Theresa Borja! I gave hers when she had her debut last February after I spoke as one of the eighteen candles. It was one of my gifts to her. I love her sooo much =) 

brown belt, Novo; brown bag, Cose

trivias: the bag has been with me since Grade six =) ; the belt is only 20 Php! haha

^Taken at DL Umali Auditorium after watching the second set of movies last Pelikul2ra: The CALABARZON Film Festival 2012. It was a really successful event. Personally, it made me appreciate indie films a whole lot more. It made me realize that some or maybe many of them are even better than the mainstream movies we usually get to watch. Congratulations to all the filmmakers! So proud of them :) They’re still students but wow, they work like a pro. :) But before I forget, again that I’m on my style blog and I’m uploading an outfit post not a review (hihi sorry i’m such one big random talker hoho! O.o) I’m gonna end this post :)

say hi to my friends Jessa and Samantha from BS AECO ‘11 =) They were the persons behind the camera for the shots above (arte ko haha okay in short photography by Jessa and Sam! :) Thank you so much ulit! missing you both =’)

Hype my look in lookbook here =) Thaaaaaaaaanks!

God bless and stay stylish, dear (s) !

Lotsa love,

Graceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Summer in the woods.. ♥

With this kind of weather, I find it extremely difficult to find outfits that are breezy enough to get some air and will not increase the heat my body feels :| But I’m not that used in wearing sleeveless tops and short shorts in public—not YET haha.. soon I probably will with the sleeveless thing, but with the short shorts, I reeeeeally don’t know—so good thing even loose three-fourth tops and comfy-but-not-too-short skirts combo does the trick ;) Breezy but not too showy :)

Combined florals and ruffles for this outfit =) Wanted to wear some stuff that spell S-U-M-M-E-R . But still stylish-plus-comfortable. I also love how the outfit blended w/ the background(OMG the background I’ve been eyeing since June 2011 haha! :) Floral dominance in what I’m wearing plus all the leeeeeeeaves! Then butterflies on my ears. Okay, nature inspired ;) Haha char!

 top, mom’s ; skirt, H & M

earrings, Aunt’s gift

 bag, gift

 floral sneakers, thrifted

(where exactly? at the thrift store near Robinson’s LB :) Only for 180 pesos! Haha, and I got it for 160 :) I actually bought it before as my emergency shoes coz my violet satin-velvet doll shoes got damaged, really damaged while I was in school :| But the silver lining is, I bought this :D Now I’m loving it so much even though I’m not a rubber shoes lover and I’m also not much a ‘floral person’ =)   #justsaying

 etc bracelet, from Candy magazine; hair telephone ties’ (LOL how is this exactly called, anyone? spring ties? char) Goody (Joke! How I wish. Di bale I promise to myself I’ll have quality ‘goods’ from Goody soon. I know you hear me, Lord :)

I will post a close-up picture of the etc bracelet prolly in my next posts. Anyway, I’m a trueeeee-blueeeeee candygirl since April 2006 :) Candymag is sooo.. okay I can’t continue this sentence in this outfit post or else I’ll be writing a novel..

If you want to know what I mean, grab a copy of the latest issue and see what I’m actually talking about :) That fulfilling feeling that’s so hard to explain, feel it yourself :) Be a candygirl (or a candyboy! it helps both genders, really, I know coz I have both genders. LOL kidding there..but SRSLY, Candy is a best-est friend not just exclusively for ladies but also for guys) Candy makes so much difference in one’s life. 

But anyway moving with this outfit post..    :)

Here was my hairdo for the day! And practically for everyday this summer :)

Gerald Katigbak Fashion Show at Treston International College

One of Filipinos’ pride in the fashion industry, designer Gerald Katigbak flaunted his spring collection at the Fusion @ Treston 2011 event.  (Yep, super late post O.o this is another “anniversary post” But I can’t help but still admire every masterpiece! hope you’ll enjoy the photos ahead even though they’re not in good quality, I admit:)

My favorite in the picture above is the one with the mullet design :)

Polka dots and flowers in an elegant combination. Wow =)

^I’d love to have this! :) But I’ll pair it with black tights 

I super love this outfit! Sheer top and palazzo pants? Awesome. Reminds me of ate Camille Co’s love for subtle but sexy pieces :) 

satin pants perfect !

meanwhile here are the shots of some of the male models :) Above shows one of my favorite outfits in the men collection. Violet and white =)

looks like a matured but still fierce Vaness Wu

my most favorite male outfit. Red blazer! You can never go wrong with that :) I just love it even though I’m not a red-obsessed person. Btw this outfit makes remember my Gawad Karangalan outfit, which was just the day before this event. Haha.

lovely coat

at the end of the show, the models conquered the runway again but this time, carrying Treston’s name. And I mean that literallly as you can see :)

love this shot! And oh, after all the shots, did you notice the “gorgeous floor?” haha who wouldn’t admire it? :)

the models after the fashion show :) Awwww which signals the wholeday event was also over. The day began with a campus tour at the fabulous campus of Treston—and that included meeting Chef Bauer himself—plus activities and booths to enjoy and to inquire at. Inquire not just about the campus, but even about business and legal matters. Cool, right? But more than that, is the highlight of the event which was this cocktail party at Treston’s, uhm let me just call it Auditorium okay, which included speeches, fab intermissions—and I mean really fab—this stunning fashion show to cap off the event, and a buffet dinner celebration at the end. (btw I definitiely got lots of pictures showing those but I plan to upload it in my photoblog since this is a style blog :)

Thank you so much to Treston International College for inviting Holy Redeemer School to be a part of the event, Fusion @ Treston. Everyone was so welcoming. We even had service from Cavite to Taguig(where Treston is) and vice versa. Really memorable day and plus, we’re really taken care of. Aww :)

it wouldn’t be as fun without them of course :) This was taken at the admin’s office of the prestigious international school. (note: we also have other friends with us but aren’t here that time sayang :| )

Anyway, finally uploaded a fashion show post. Yey! :D Which was your favorite outfit? Isn’t Gerald Katigbak so inspiring? :) What can you say about Treston. I’d love to hear from you, dear (s) :D anyway I will hopefully upload more fashion show posts in the near future :) Crossing my fingers for the upcoming PFW! omg I hope I’d get invites. If you know any info ‘bout it, I’d really appreciate if you tell me :)

God bless and stay stylish!

Lotsa love,

Reminiscing the previous April 29 : Dasmarinas Gawad Karangalan 2011 (outfit post + photo diary)

Honestly, I can’t believe it has been already 366 days. I’m always feeling this way O.o nostalgic as ever. I still feel like a recent highschool graduate. Seriously. :O

Last April 29, 2011 was the annual Gawad Karangalan at Dasmarinas, Cavite held at Ugnayan, La Salle. (above’s one of the first pictures taken that day before the event started. Hihi I know I’m not on my personal blog now but these events are exceptions haha i also know that I usually begin event posts here with outfit shots because this is a style blog but I just love the spontaneity in that picture with my mom. #justsaying)

April 29, 2011: One of the best days of my life. And it wouldn’t be the same without these people.. :D

from left to right: Joyce Ann Verga, Pauline Nariel Ellao, Ma’am Isaac, Karyssa Janelle Lopez, me, Trebor Villena, Jonathan “Dek” German :) Few of the names I am missing so much now . Sigh. Makes me want to time travel :/

But anyway, before I get sentimental too early, here’s a quick outfit post :] (There would be three looks for my outfit that day, so outfit posts would be in three parts. For this post, here’s part 1 a.k.a. the shots taken before the event :) 

red coat, tailor-made hand me down. from one of my aunts, she used it for her prom and never wore it again. When I got it months before April, I was saving it for something special or for something that calls for this touch of formal. And this was the event where I first wore this. And actually a year passed, I haven’t worn it again yet. Haha. 

                             sunnies, thrifted; earrings, thrifted

                             hype my look in lookbook here :) 

                belt, SM Department Store; dress, Genevieve Gozum; bag, Avon; shoes, Jessica @ SM Department Store

So that was my outfit :) Semi-formal / business formal. Btw above’s actually my first dp in lookbook.nu :)

Before we entered the venue, this was the scenario outside Ugnayan La Salle.. Proud parents outnumbered the students who were carrying diplomas, or even balloons for some, wearing different uniforms and differently colored medals—bronze for honorable mentions, silver for salutatorians, and yellowgold for valedictorians. Pictures were taken almost in every corner. And one would hear “congratulations”  almost everywhere. Okay. The Gawad Karangalan for elementary students were over. This is the usual post event scenario. But no matter how noisy and crowded it got, I loved it, cause I got all the more excited with the highschool students’ turn. Haha. 

                Good thing in a sea of people, we saw Ma’am Tagadtad who were with the elementary awardees from HRSDC. :) 

                                      Me and my Mom/bestfriend

                                 Me and my Dad/bestfriend (who is responsible for all the photos in my camera this event :)

In the middle of that post-event scenario of the elementary Gawad Karangalan, there’s that corner that hints the onset of the next event: line of highschool students heading to the registration booth :)

                   I with Paupau, Joyce and Trebbie! < 3     We missed Dadi G so much that day (and until now of course :’)      

                   with mommy-slash-twin Karyssa! Hi, Cambzx!

               “Still in the line” picture with Dek, Ma’am Isaac and Karyssa :) waiting..

              i love this candid shot haha okay, Dad “never really grew up” in his hobby of taking pictures of me since I was a baby. Oh well, le tale of a photographer’s daughter ;) #sharelan      Btw the registration booth gave us cash, the yearbook, food (yay! haha), and diplomas

               Inside the hall, I saw Monique Parayno, (JCKL’s Salutatorian, congrats monique!) a childhood churchmate at COG Dasma, and a former teammate when I was still active in the Dance Ministry.

                                           Starstrucked with Mayor Jenny’s kindness and beauty :)

                                  Cambx “with” Congressman and Mayor Barzaga! Naks :)

             With Prince Cynestre Mirana, St. Aloysius’ Valedictorian :)

                         Seriously. I can’t forget this moment. Haha Dek joked that I should be held liable in the court for “ambushing” Mayor because while the couple is on the way to their van, I subtly blocked them, or okay I blocked their way haha and asked if I could take a picture with them. Yey, they were so nice :) Turns out, lots of students from other schools who were just staring at them as they walked also wanted to have a picture with them but they were shy so when I took the initiative, they “flooded” after Holy Redeemer School’s turn. LOL. 

                                  Trebbie and Odek with the Couple :)))

and the whole Holy Redeemer School representatives with the Couple :)

Gawad Karangalan :) Successful and memorable event. It’s not everyday you and your friends get rewarded for your achievements, in behalf of your beloved alma matter. :) It’s not everyday you unite with the smartest people in your town—and that adds so much inspiration. Thank you so much to Mayor Barzaga and Congressman for this!

One of the best days. The extension of highschool life’s conclusion that gave the mixed emotions of looking back, and looking forward. (But I’m almost always doing the former. nostalgic as ever :O )  

But before I become too emotional in reminiscing, I’ll end this post :) And accept the fact that yes, 366 days have passed. Even though those 366 days felt like only 24 hours.. :)

Lotsa love,

A persistent dream :)

I felt my outfit wasn’t as colorful as I used to. Haha but anyway, I love its comfort and style combo :) Laced, stripes and textures were be mixed and matched. 

Warning: 1. this is another photo-heavy post :O 2. Word-heavy too ;) You might want to scroll down fast to see the other outfit shots and don’t read this novel-like incoherent release of thoughts :)

Wore this last January 15, 2012 ..Sunday ..A year after January 15, 2011 (malamang haha) ..A year after I received my acceptance letter from my dream university: the Ateneo de Manila University. Read my status updates when I was fourth year high school and you’ll see how set my mind was in studying at the Ateneo! “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam..Lux in Domino..I love you Ateneo” “I’m a proud Redeemian and an Atenean in the making” statuses and such..

However, January 15, 2012, I found myself taking the ACET again (for the transferees) Yep. To cut the story short, I didn’t end up in ADMU. Why? One word: money. Haha.

But on the other side of the coin, even though I started my first year in college with inner tantrums and sort of bitterness ‘coz I didn’t become a Blue Eagle, eventually I fell in love with UPLB. (yet I never gave up my Atenean dream. When I dream, I really really dream persistently haha) I have been truly thankful to God for bringing me in the beautiful UPLB for my first year in college, I always said that to myself for the past months. “Even if I had the chance last year to study in Ateneo immediately after I graduate, I’d still opt to study in UPLB for academic year 2011-2012. I can’t trade the memories and moreover, the acquaintances, the teachers that marked, and the friends I met in LB who I wouldn’t know if I didn’t study here.” I was really reiterating those lines to myself. But take note of the word first year in college. Read between the lines, and you’ll notice the little but persistent intention I had about spending my next years in college at AdMU. Little ‘coz I know it would be hugely difficult to transfer so I opened myself to the option of finishing my studies in UP. (but let everything be done according to God’s will) Indeed, I don’t know why I really never dropped my dream back in highschool. My persuasive speech for spcm 1 was about Ateneo, how’s that? I’m in love. You can’t blame me. Char.

(Note: I just want to clear that I have nothing against with UP as a whole. I truly admire this premier university of the Philippines. Who wouldn’t? Also, my Dad’s from UP Diliman so I can’t hate UP as a whole and I won’t ever do that. And again, I already said that UPLB has a special place in my heart because of the memories, and the people that made an impact. I just really dream of Ateneo and I can’t answer why here coz I will write a novel. Personal preferences, respect that. :)

Open to the option of not being able to transfer, this is what I told myself: I don’t know when, it might be next year, or it might be after the next three years, but all I know is, one day, I’ll be with you. AdMU.

One day I will wake up and finally be able to call myself a true-blue eagle. 

But fast forward, to cut the story short, Mom said I just ‘wasted’ my bucks in taking another ACET ‘coz I just took it but the deadline of submission of requirements passed without me passing any of the following: TCG, Good moral, recommendations, essay and all other files needed. My lack of time management added to the busiest-days-ever last February to March left me unable to do all the rigorous tasks in completing the application. Okay laugh at me now. Haha. I was disappointed ‘coz I thought I can know the result, just at least the result of the exam, even if I didn’t complete my application. But no. How can I be so excited this May with regards to the ACET if there is no result to look forward to because of my unwanted negligence!! Ugh. Okay. So the latter will take part in my dream “…or after the next three years” Okay, I just might take further studies in AdMU. But I also want to study Fashion Design at SoFA or FIP?  I really don’t know. But whatever God’s will is, I will follow. (Please, Lord, make me follow :) Anyway, seeing the pictures below and all the pics shot by Dad really make me not regret the money we spent in taking the exam which I later ‘unwantedly’ took for granted. Seriously :)

bag, Mom’s

striped top w/ lace, gift; sunnies, thrifted

dangling earrings, vente

shoes, Penshoppe

overused pencil cut skirt, SM Department Store

below are some pictures in remembrance of the exam :’)

^this was our sitting arrangement. Hmm, I found the ACET for transferees not as hard as the ACET for freshmen (which I found a little harder than the UPCAT 2011. I don’t want issues, opinion lang ha) If you took ACET 2011 for freshmen and ACET 2012 for transferees as well, do you agree? ^_^ 

 btw here’s is my test permit. Aww. Bachelor in Fine Arts in Information Design!! OMG O.o (anyway last year the course I took was AB Communication :)  maybe i’m not really for Ateneo, (if you read the last paragraph of what I wrote in the first part of this post, you know why ) well.. not for NOW :] I’m enjoying my stay in UPLB and loving every bit of it, but I am not giving up on my Atenean dream ;)  One day, I’ll come back for you, Ey Di Em Yu :)

So that was another post. Whew. Sorry for too much words. I know I’m not in my personal blog O.o but I don’t know why I can’t keep my fingers from typing. Especially May’s already coming. Okay.. anyway, in case you read every single word above thank you so much for bearing all my release of thoughts haha.

God bless and stay stylish!

Lotsa love, 

Graceeeeeee

F-3R FTW :) [outfit post + photo diary]

(post drafted last February :)

             Hi deariesss! How’s your February so far? :D Thanks to all who replied to my I miss you post and for you who sent some love on my inbox! You really make me smile even during my most stressful days. I love you always:)

BTW above’s a pic (taken at IRRI by dear Louise) of what I wore for the Speech Choir Elimination last January 30—a very memorable day spent with my beLOVED SpeechCom 1 classmates!! :) I decided to upload pictures of this event after this outfit post even though this is a style blog and I’m not on my personal blog :D

(seriously, for the nth time, I think these two blogging categories can’t be separated anymore.. I bet most of you will agree (tama ba?) hihi because most of my net-friends are personal style bloggers. I was just a bit crazy trying to separate the categories into different blogs. Just saying hehe)

Anyway, let me start my outfit post. Ang tagal na ring stagnant nitong fash’blog na to ee hehe. Sorry for the blurry pics, my camera’s not so hi-tech^_^ 

We’re supposed to wear black over all that’s why the outfit :)       turtleneck top, Ukay (10 pesos only!); leggings, Riss Boutique; socks, I seriously forgot where; flats, thrift store     *pic taken at MainLib by dear Jen :)

             earrings, Harisson Plaza

   necklace, US (thanks so much Tita!!) 

      native bag, Aklan(thanks to my sibling Kuya Kester!)     

         thin belt, thrift store; dij, a.k.a. my best-material-friend (haha), Olympus 

It’s been a week :)

It’s been a week since my speechcom 1 classmates and I bonded after we delivered the speech choir elimination :D And I still can’t get over :) 

       With Speech Com 1:  F 3R and our recit prof Ma’am Grace Mendoza! i love you, classmates! We love you, Ma’am Mendoza! =D

         ^we met at the Main Lib first for preparation which turned out to be a pre-bonding session hehe! (astig ng pose ni class president dito hihi (the first girl from the right ..hi there dear Karla! =)

            ^a pic of our dear Chemical Engineers :D 

       ^thanks dear Jen for taking most of the pixies here at Lib! love! :* (she’s my seatmate both in Large class and Recit class :)

            we had some spontaneous flexible-themed photoshoots for fun haha! Above is Karla, bending :) See my head? hehe we were supposed to make an M by bending side by side but the camera frame can’t capture the whole view hoho *fail. btw, above, I’m still lying on the floor there because I can’t bend without lying down first haha!        ^so here’s the “other half” of the M of me and Karla! Haha I love this pic, kahit na fail yung bending shape ko, I just so love how we smiled to each other upside down

     ^above’s the very pretty Girlie :D naks! with feelings :)

         ^make-up session with Kim and Louise inside Main Lib’s comfort room hehe! fierce mode kami ee! 

         ^now above’s another pic of our lovely class after the elimination :) But this time, not only with our Recit Class Prof Ma’am Grace Mendoza,..we also have Sir Carson Cruz, our Recit Prof on the first day of our SPCM 1 class, with us :) [pic taken at CAS Annex 2]

           ^After all the ‘work’ and ‘pressure’, of course we had fun! This is a pic of us, excited to go to IRRI! yey! And the one who took this was the jeep’s driver, ang kpal ng mukha ko ee hehe but he was friendly to us naman haha:)

      ^On the way to IRRI! Yay! We were supposed to eat at the Harrar Hall where everything’s so affordable yet have good quality, but it was break time when we went there. So we decided to eat at the cafeteria near it :) 

       ^Kuya Zar, Kim, and Emman with their yummy Mudslides :)

           ^Karla, Jessica, and Kyla waiting for their order :) [Girlie’s ordering I guess that’s why she isn’t here..hmm..tama ba gurl? hehe]

           ^Jeff and Harvey while waiting for their order…*wow ha, seryoso sa harap ng laptop? as if acads yung ginagawa hehe char ;) 

         ^I and Louise eating our Green Pesto! hehe thanks again dearie! (check out my food blog to see food pixies)

        ^after eating, pixie shots don’t end of course hehe:) This one’s taken outside the cafeteria by Harvey (yung iba umalis na coz they had classes kaya wala na sila dito sa pic…..just saying :)

          ^me: childish smile :p .. Louise: gorgeous wacky.. Kuya Zar: poker face.. Kim: cute!.. Emman: sweet na smile.. Jessica: Fierce.. and our fave here, Karla: overjoyed! hehe

            ^ F 3R rides IRRI’s shuttle bus :) always free ang ride dyan! winner :D awwww pauwi na kami nito. Next plan? We’ll be going to Enchanted Kingdom after finals! Hihi nakakamiss na kagad. Anyway, we didn’t make it to the finals [top 8 out of 35 (or 36 yata) sections] but our score was 79; and the score of the Top 8 was 81 so I’m thinking we’re Top 9 yey! Or at the very least, top 10 :D

Whatever the results are, what matters most to us is that we had fun together ..and that even though there were hassles, stress, and all the cramming stuff, we became closer because of this Speech Choir thingy :D

* “If I were a voice” by Charles McKay :) —the piece we performed.

…..So here’s another post then :D thanks for reading!

God bless you dear (s) !

*I love you F-3R! 

After three months.. ( STYLEBLOG REVIVAL ;)

Sigh. I don’t know where to begin (I’m always like this O.O)

Hi dearies! It’s been a while. :) Sorry it took so long for me to reply to your messages..Here I am again, saying I missed you and tumblr :O This is my third “I’m back post!” So this means I have already had three “tumblr unwanted vacations” Haha tsk. But now, yes, I’m back, hoping that this would be my last after-a-long-time-post. 

Yes, lovelies, I will do my best to be a stable styleblogger and a stable “answerer” of your questions and comments :D

Sigh. My last style blog post? This: January 24, 2012

..EXACTLY THREE MONTHS AGO o.O

Been extremely busy. Then add that to the fact that I have no time management.

But anyway, I don’t want to spend the spaces in this post on writing rants and self-blaming or spreading any “bad vibes” ;) 

As I come back, (an drama char!)

..hmm, I would be posting the outfit shots I should have posted before :O I was just usually doing drafts but end up just saving them because I feel like they are “not yet finished” or just pictures and no description haha.

Second, thank you so much for appreciating my new feature “Campus Style Files” ! Now as I comeback, I will upload the outfit shots I took around the campus :)) I hope you’d like them as much as I do :) The outfits of my schoolmates (mostly friends) give off a chic vibe no matter what type—edgy, preppy, girly, etcetera :) I will share the inspiration to you lovelies!

Third, I’d put tidbits of random fashion-related posts :) About some shops (especially in Los Banos, just like my post about the shop UP Beat), wardrobe/new buy/ thrift buy/ new gift post, wishlists, style articles (like my post about my most favorite blogger in the world, ate Camille Co :), look compilation posts, probably some photo diaries (I am so confused because I divided the categories into seven blogs rather than mixing them into one o.O) or maybe some shoe posts again, too :))

And uhm, I think I want to share some of the posts/events I shared in my personal blog here. still thinkin’ about that  ..teehee :) 

^Philippine Intercollegiate Debating Championship 2012 (April 9-14, 2012 at UP Diliman :) photo from the Parliament: UPLB Debate Society

Fourth, I seriously want to have a giveaway on __________ but I admit, I don’t know how :O Hoho! Yes, you’re free to laugh at me now hihi >.< So please, friends, if there’s anyone who’s willing to teach me where do I start, and how or any info about it, it WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED! :)) 

..Oh plans, I hope you won’t stay as plans :) Sigh. I promise to practice time management :)

Anyway how are you dear (s) ? I hope you’re all having a great summer whether you’re in getting some vacay in the province with relatives, taking summer classes in school, having workshops, or travelling the world :)

Thank you so much for responding to some of my posts, especially here when I had special mentions :) Especially to my lookbook friends. I sooo love you! I hope I’d see you all in person someday, anywhere in the world :)

..Still new in this world called style blogging but your presence makes it an easier and more exciting adjustment for me as a newbie :)))) I love you! sincerely :)

God bless and stay stylish! :*

Lotsa love,

Graceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
