Wednesday Current

I've been blog hopping these past few days. I'm stuck at home because of the typhoon, but thankfully it wasn't as strong as we expected it to be. Anyway, reading blogs is one of my pass time and I came across the blog of Cha Ocampo and I've seen her Sunday Current post. Basically, it is just about sharing what you're doing during Sundays. But since it is Wednesday and I can't wait for Sunday, I decided to make it a Wednesday Current instead of Sunday, because why not? yea? So let's do this.

Reading besides on different blogs that I've been reading, I'm also reading How They Met and Other Stories by David Levithan. It's a book composed of 18 different short love stories.

Writing this blog post (obviously) and I'm also writing on my Reflection notebook. I may not look like a religious person, but I am. I'm reading the gospel everyday and Our Daily Bread. It really helps me on my everyday life, and I'm learning a lot from it. "To know Christ is the greatness of all knowledge"

Listening to Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour album and some Rico Blanco and Rivemaya's songs.

Smelling apparently nothing

Wishing for concert tickets for next year's concerts!! Michael Bublè, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, 5 Seconds of Summer and The Vamps are all coming here in Manila next year!! I only got a concert ticket for One Direction's concert and I wasn't able to get the ticket that I want because it was sold out so fast. :(

Hoping to have new friends in school next year. We will have an orientation next week and I hope that as early as then, I'll get to meet new friends already.

Wearing my pambahay clothes. A shirt and my cookie monster boxers. Super Fasyown. lol.

Loving my new eyebrow kit from ELF and mascara from Maybelline! Finding a cheap but good quality make up that works for me is a great accomplishment. seriously.

Wanting for our family business to go well again. We have a little problem with our family business and I really want everything to be better again.

Needing a new phone and a pocket wifi.

Feeling lazy to workout later but I need to. No pain, no gain.

Clicking on different online stores because I miss shopping online.

New Chapter

I have a really exciting news and I'm too excited I don't know how I should say it. I want to make this a super special post (because it really is!) but I don't have any idea on how I should make this extraordinario so I'm not going to make any fuss anymore I'm going straight to the point.

So.. I'm going to study Interior Design!!! Funny how my last post is about me ranting about Interior inspirations and not taking up a degree in Interior Design, but now I'm really going to study Interior Design. For real! I didn't know that my plans on taking up Interior Design would push through but now that it is going to happen, I'm really glad that I tried applying to it and fortunately, I passed. I know that this is not going to be easy, I'm fully aware of that. My friends and family already warned me enough. I already have my flowchart and the subject are quite intimidating. I'm not good in drawing but I'm really willing to learn. I actually emailed one of my most favorite interior designer and she gave me an advice on what to expect on the field. I'm very nervous because besides on the subjects, I'm also a transferee so I need to be extra sociable so I can have new friends! I'm aware that taking up this course would also mean that I should be ready to all the sleepless nights and stressful plates that is needed to be done on time. I'm expecting for the worse so I won't be too surprised and overwhelmed on all the works that will be given to me. I chose this, so I need to persevere and do my best.

It was hard for me to leave my university because my friends are there and I'm going to miss the campus. My friends and family were actually encouraging me to just stay in my university but it is just hard for me to study the course that isn't my interest. I want to prove them all that I can do this. First time in my life, that I'm really motivated to study hard. haha! But I'm actually aiming for a scholarship because I know that this course is really expensive. My 3 older siblings are also in college so just imagine the tuition fees that my parents are paying. So having a scholarship would rally mean a lot. I can do all things through Christ.

I'm going to update every now and then. I'll really try my best to be active here.

Inspiration Sets

I'm going to show you some of my inspiration sets that I made through polyvore. As you all know, I'm an interior designer wannabe and I'm not yet taking any degree course in interior design so I don't know the terms of real Interior Designer use to describe a look/design so I'm sorry for that.

First set is a Boho inspired design. matching different pillowcase is probably one of the most fun thing to do because you get to mix and match the color and prints that you want. For me, Bohemian prints are best paired with white and/or gold things. I think paring it with white and/or gold balances the whole look. I love the gold statement of the side table it is perfect. 

I don't know how to describe this design but don't you think this is cute? I want to include these things in my future house. I think I'm obsessed with the fur carpet. Whenever I try making sets, I always want to include a fur carpet or at least a fur rug. lol. The tables, the sofa, the statement chair, and the pillow looks really good together. The designs of the table are really adorable!

I know there's a term to describe this look but I don't know what it is. hehe. If you will look at my interior design tumblr blog, most of the photos that I reblog looks like this. The look is so tumblr-worthy.

Expect more interior design related post! Thanks for reading! :)

Why Interior Design?

If you read my last post, you would know what this post is going to be. But anyway, if you haven't read it yet, I'll be talking about my new plans for college. As I was saying on my last post, the things that I originally planned since I was in high school, unfortunately, didn't go the way I wanted it to be, so I intentionally stopped for 1 term so I can decide what I really want to do with my life. This seems harder than it looks like. I'm not exagerating, but thinking about what I really want to do with my life is really stressful. I'm not one of those lucky people who already knew what they want to be when they grow up since they were still a lil kid. In my case, I seriously don't know where I'm heading. Choosing a college course is like choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life. It would determine what your career will be in the future. It pressures the hell out of me!

So now I'm planning to start all over again. I'm planning to leave my school and transfer. DLSU is my dream university since I was in fourth grade, and just by thinking of leaving the school makes my heart break. But I already decided that career is more important than the school. I'm now planning to take up Interior Design in De La Salle College of St. Benilde. But fyi, I'm not good in drawing. There are no improvements in my drawing since second grade. But I'm trying my best to learn the basics through youtube. The one point, second point and third point perspectives are some of the things that I want to learn before I study Interior Design (if I would pass *fingers crossed*) I actually thought of taking up Interior Design even before I entered college but I didn't know why I didn't pursue it.

Why Interior Design? Well, there are times when I keep myself awake at night because I'm thinking of different designs for a house. I remember the time when I don't wanna sleep because I'm not yet finished visualizing my dream house. There are also times when I walk up in a room or a store, I would visualize what design would make the place better. And I'm always fascinated by different Home Design magazines.Things like that. I have so many different designs on my mind but I can't interpret it through paper and pencil and that is what I'm planning to learn for my next 3 month break.

There is something inside of me that couldn't help but to feel happy and excited whenever I look at different home or architectural designs. These are some of the collage that I made even before I plan to pursue Interior Design.

I also created a blog to get some Interior Design inspiration. You can check it out at intspo.tumblr.com

YOLO?

It has been 3 months since my last update and I did promised myself that I'll keep this blog active as much as possible, and it seems like I'm not keeping my promise because it took me months to write another post. So here's a quick update about me.
                                  
I'm out of school now. I will be back on third term so I'll be free of school works until the end of this year. To be honest I don't know what to feel about it. I always wished to have a break from school because I'm so lazy, I don't want to study. Kidding haha. But seriously speaking, I always wanted this to happen. Having my own break and a free time so I can do whatever I want. But I know myself. I always want to do so many things but I never move. I always wait for the perfect timing (if there's such thing as "perfect" time) to take a step on doing what I want which is a totally stupid thing to do, because I always end up being unproductive. I hate myself for doing nothing because I always wanted to explore, have fun and just live my life to the fullest. So instead of doing the things that I really want to do, I always stay in my room, sleep, workout, eat, watch korean dramas, and stalk people through instagram and twitter. I'm so tired of it. I mean, we only live once right? And I feel like I'm not enjoying my life. I feel like I'm keeping myself from having fun, I'm afraid to be happy because I know it won't last.
Awhile ago after I finished watching Fated To Love You, I was suddenly curious on what my fate is. I can't help but to think what I'll be doing for the next 3 years, 5 years or 10 years. Will I be the same for the next years? Will I regret something? or will I be the complete opposite of myself - happy, confident, and not afraid and lazy to do what I want to do. To be honest, I'm not afraid to die but I am afraid of the future. I'm afraid that I might regret somethings that I wished I did. I'm scared that it is too late to do the things that I love. I'm scared that I might not be able to reach my goals in life because I didn't took a risk.
Everything that is worth it, doesn't come easy. That is life. Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win. I'm not scared to lose or to fail, I know that it is part of life. But I'm scared of people. People who will judge me without even knowing me. People who will disappoint me. People who won't appreciate me. I'm the type of person who appreciates the people who come to my life. It is not obvious, but yes I'm always grateful and thankful for those who try to get along with me. Why? because I feel like I'm not good enough for anybody. (ok so talking about fear, there was a flying cockroach in my room while I was typing. it was huge and it is still there so now I'm in my parent's room. took me 30 minutes before I had the guts to grab my laptop.) So anyway, where am I? ok, so I'm the type of person who tries to please everyone because I don't want anyone to hate me. And that's the problem. We can't please everyone, yes I know that, but I'm afraid that people will judge me from doing the things that I want to do and some of the other reasons are having the courage, perseverance, and patience.
I'll file a leave of absence for this term because I'm unsure on what I want to do with my life. Before I enter college, everything was clear. I planned the things that I'll do for college. I'm lucky because I was able to go to my dream university though I didn't passed the course that I really want to take. So everything was planned- but none of it goes according to my plan. It is sad, frustrating and disappointing. But I believe that everything happens for a reason. As I was scrolling through my dashboard on tumblr the other day there's was a quote that says "God will wreck your plans when he sees that your plans are about to wreck you." we always ask for things that we want to get or to happen, but once that it isn't given to us, most of us lose faith, and doubt the presence of God. But not me. I believe that there is something better that is in store for me.
I'll end my post here because it is too long already. I would just have a separate post about the college course that I want to pursue. If you read this post, thank you so much. I have no readers actually so if you happen to read this, thank you so much.

mini shopping haul

First of firsts, I'm not supposed to shop but I cannot resist!! I'm saving up for the concert of One Direction and now that I used some of the money that I save up, I'm not sure what will going to happen. The selling of the tickets is 3 weeks from now so I hope I sell some of my pre-loved clothes!

So anyway, yesterday we checked in in a hotel in Makati because we watched a movie and it's going to finish late so we just check in instead of commuting late at night. I'm with my sisters only so we don't have any transportation. We watched a German movie at 5 pm then after that, we went straight to Glorietta because my sisters watched another movie (French movie) They doubt that I'm not going to sleep (haha!) so while they were watching a movie, I go around the mall but I wasn't able to buy anything because I really don't want to spend. To cut it short, we went to Gateway because it is on our way home and today is the opening of UNIQLO! But I didn't shop at UNIQLO. lol. I went at Mango and I experienced heaven. All their clothes are on sale!! And it's the first day! God knows how I tried not to buy all the clothes that I was planning to get during that time. I tried. So these are some of the pieces that I end up buying. I still want to go back and buy the clothes that I decided not to get all for the love for 1D. haha!

Girls night out

This time last week, I had a bonding with my mom, sisters and aunt. We agreed to do this at least once a month. We went to megamall and we watched X-men. To be honest, I didn't understand anything because I was sleeping the whole time. I was awake for the first 20-30 minutes of the movie and I cannot understand anything so I just slept. I haven't watched any X-men movie before so maybe that's why. We arrived at the mall at around 8:20 in the evening and the movie will start at 9:30. I was planning to do a quick shopping but I only bought one top from cotton on because I have no time anymore. My mom were rushing us to go to a buffet restaurant and I cannot understand why they chose to eat at a buffet. I mean, we only have few minutes left before the movie starts and yet, they ate there. Didn't had a time to pig out because we were in a hurry. 

It is super nice to have a family bonding once in a while. We're all busy and it is nice to spend time with them after a long week.

Fashion must-haves

We all have that one pice in our wardrobe that we always use because it just goes well with anything. We wear it, and then bam! it completes our entire look. The first thing on my must-haves is a great pair of high waisted jeans. We can style it in many different ways. One of the most talked about high waisted jeans are the joni jeans from Topshop. I must admit that I still don't have a Joni jeans because it is a little bit pricey but I'm sure that it would be a great investment. I'm planning to buy one soon, after I save for the concert of One Direction (1D over anything. priorities, klaire.) 
The photos that you will see in this post are just some sets that I made from my polyvore account. Link on my polyvore account will be posted at the end of this post. 

So here is my first set. It is more on a laid back look. As I was saying earlier, high waisted jeans can be styled easily because it looks great with almost everything. This first set, I styled it with a simple graphic tee and a printed blazer. I think blazers is also in this days because it gives you a more sophisticated look. Printed and colorful blazers can add an extra hype on your look. 

I was inspired to make this set because I always see my schoolmates pulling of this look. It is casual, clean and so feminine. Do I need to say more?

Ok, so out of all these 3 sets, this is probably the look that you would see me wearing often. It's comfortable, it doesn't look so girly but doesn't compromise the style. Crop tops + plaid top + high waisted jeans = me gusta!

Next on my must-haves list is a fedora hat. 

School girl look you say? I say this is the one that you must try pulling of. I actually don't know how to explain why fedora hat is included on my list, because it is just a perfect trend. It looks good it, it is a street style look, it is perfect.  Period. 

For my second and third set, I styled a fedora hat with rompers and cardigans because who wouldn't style fedora hat with rompers and cardigans? It is cute and so chic! Perfect to wear on summer!

I should have posted this set in the beginning. haha!

Because I'm back in school (ugh) these are all the things that I'm planning to buy. Of course, the fedora hat and joni jeans are there. Backpack, chelsea boots, nike running shoes, denim jacket, and plaid skirt is up my ally. Good make ups are needed, of course. 

These are my lists of my fashion must-haves. What's yours and what are the looks that you dig?
