Green and Florals

Hey everyone ! Here's a quick outfit post from last Sunday at Maxims,Resorts World. 

I actually love how this outfit turned out so girly and feminine. Don't you find this corset top actually interesting because you can combine it with any color and you can wear it with skinny jeans, shorts or what I'm actually wearing in this photo, flared skirt. 

And because corset tops are starting to be the trend, I brought one to try it out myself. 

So, what do you think? :)

(with my fashionista cousin, Kate)

I bet this Neon Christmas tree looks fabulous at night time. Resort world's one of the places that I would like to go everyday, I super love the ambiance and there's not that much of people.

I don't know

(Grad pictorial a while ago)

I don't know how to start this post, just really want to write something..but I don't know what about. 

But cheers to my readers, I'm glad you appreciate my posts and I'm actually receiving good feed backs. Thank you :) 

Though I may put myself down at times, I think it's God way of showing me how strong I can be and awakening me that it's already my last year in high school and I should be more focused and dedicated than I was in my past years. (especially now that it's 2d quarter already)

I wasn't expecting that there will be people who actually understands me and are willing to listen and offer their shoulders for me to lean on. I'm buried somewhere, but I think it's time to gather up courage and rise up again. 

Maybe I'm not happy or depressed, maybe somewhere in between or both at the same time. Not exactly the best student around..but I try, at least I  try and do my best. (especially when cramming :P)

I was supposed to have my bangs cut yesterday but plans changed, so I had it cut today after Chinese dismissal. I don't know if it suits me or not, but whatever, it's already cut. 

" So fill your heart with what's important and be done with all the rest "

A smile can hide so much pain

People complain about how moody I am. All those people, always focus on my bad side. ( I believe everyone has a bad side) But they never had the heart to say, " What are you like that? What is happening? " None of them took actions to help me change. All they did was rant and spread about it. 

Although I know myself that I couldn't actually stop worrying about stuffs that would never happen, I over think a lot. Today, I talked with our guidance counselor about what's actually going on and I've come to many realization (as always). I shall avoid some things that I know are hindrance for what I'm assigned to do. Nobody's perfect and definitely this mistake's a lesson for me once again. We all have a limited time to live a remarkable life. Some people live for seconds, minutes, hours- but nobody is here forever. Just like high school, I've got 4 more months left and prolly all these problems will be just like nothing to me when I graduate. 

But still I know, even if it hurts to hear about it..I have to deal with it and just ignore. I know myself that I'm not doing anything wrong, I'll just focus on my priorities and have an attitude to change myself. I've been trying to change ( again, it's not easy), for the best of everybody. But then, NOBODY ever saw the change. They end up looking at their own perspective. 

I wish somehow they would eventually understand me and not misinterpret all these things and look at the positive side instead. 

I just had to play/experiment with this picture.

" Happiness is a choice " It's easy to be happy when everything seems to go your way, but I think people who are able to smile even though the worst of times is the true definition of happiness. Indeed being happy is a choice, it doesn't just happen. It's going beyond the adventure in every situation, choosing to understand that there will always be light after the dark, moreover; there's always good in every problem and every person, no matter how hard or grim things may seem. 

And this is the key to happiness, TODAY,TOMORROW,EVERYDAY..I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY.  :) 

Treasure Box of Letters

" Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. " 

" Thank you. " Such a simple phrase yet not said sincerely, often overused and taken for granted. But, can mean so much for the person you intend it to. Can make one feel appreciated, that you genuinely care for that person's existence and recognizing his/her efforts in making your life better. 

As I riff through my old letters, I choose some of my favorites and just thought of sharing it to you.

This letter was from my best friend (for 4 years) back then, this was the outer part of her letter, and this was also the last letter I received from her. 

 This letter was from one of my teammates last last year. As I was reading this a while ago, I come up with a realization that I miss how things were back then, I could've put more importance to them or the things that was going on. But sadly, I can't do anything to change it. Although, I will definitely use this realization, CARPE DIEM !

And because I was desperately wishing to have a brother, this friend of mine pretended that he actually was. He's one of the most caring friend (or shall I say brother) that I've ever met or had. He won't end his day knowing that I had a great day. I must admit that I actually miss his presence. 

Cheesy !! HAHA !  ( I literally laughed when I read this a while ago) There's just so many types of letter and I bet y'know what type this is. Moving on..

This letter's from my currently most understanding friend. Y'know that one friend who'll always be there for you and who'll be honest in front of you and say things directly in a good way ( if you know what I mean). I'm thankful to have her despite of my moodiness. She just understands me, she really does. Thank you Lord, for giving me the opportunity to meet her and be with her. May you continue to shower her with blessings because she did nothing but help me (everyone) to be positive towards the future.

The funniest of all letters I have, I don't actually know why I kept this. And yes, for my new readers you prolly don't know that I'm actually pure Chinese. I'm sorry, you won't be able to read this letter, but this letter's just non sense. A guy friend greeting me when it's not actually my birthday and saying that he missed me in the end. 

Lastly, the latest letter I received. Yes, just today. 

Steph ( what I call her) just made my day today. ♥ And swear this letter is full of real sugar-coated words. I love her to the moon and back. 

This letters made me look back and I regret nothing. And hey, thank God no one has given me a threat or full of hate letter. I must be blessed and I'm happy I was able to say " Thank you " to each one of them and the people I should have. Thanking somebody isn't all that difficult, and it's important to remember to do it. 

Out of the blue, I feel like saying this...I guess it doesn't really matter what mistakes you made yesterday..in fact, it has shaped you to the person you are today ( we should be thankful). Don't let past affect today, just take a breath, start living for today. 

" Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. "

Joy

I just can't let this day end without sharing what happened. I am overjoyed for God's never ending blessings. Thank you again, Jesus. You are indeed higher than any other. 

" Things happen when you least expect them. " I really had a great start this November. My cousin and I thought we're not going out of town because we always do during All Saint's Day. But hey, we went to:

Canyon Cove (for the 2d time)

& with God's Grace we also went to Tali beach (for the 2d time too).   

  

Moreover,                                                                                                              

I spent the 1st Sunday of November attending my dad's cousin's wedding. I was assigned to be the veil.

And heck, losing the game isn't that fun at all. And you're wondering why the host's actually holding my hands..it's because I was trying to stop my partner ( we both don't like what's going on). 

And while these things were happening, I wouldn't be truly happy without this one person who makes my heart flutter with emotions that I thought I wouldn't feel again. Thank you, for making me happy and still continuing to do so.

                                                                     Forever's in our hands :*  

Today's such a great day, I was on cloud nine. I spent my morning doing our Filipino project. I was supposed to have my nails done, but as usual, I got lazy and because I was so excited to go shopping I just spent my money there. I bought a bunch of clothes *evil laugh* Shopping is just the best cure/get away to my problems. I forgot them for a while. Aside from shopping, I got to taste what I was craving for (the name's just so inviting).

I also had my eyes checked today, my astigmatism never left me. Gonna wear glasses soon :( Anyways, I  know I wasn't able to express my happiness through words but I am really happy. Okay, I just can't wait to tell you this.. Okay, I'm about to spill it. I'm finally hosting my first ever blog giveaway! Just you wait.

Since I love how everything is turning out, I want to share this to you..this is what I do during my spare time (taken during sembreak). Thank God my cousin, Marie agreed to join my awkwardness. If ever you're reading this, I love you :) 

                  It's always a good time♫

I'll be more than glad if you could actually share what happened to you today, feel free to post in my comment. 

Btw, how do you find my blog? I need feedbacks. Thank you ! ♥

CSB entrance exam

4 schools down, 1 more left (my dream school). Anyways, I took CSB's entrance exam today. Thank God, I arrived 10 minutes earlier than the assigned time, thought I was going to be late. I was so nervous last night, I had to cram everything ( Math & English). I browsed through technical reasoning then studied Algebra, Geometry, skipped Trigo then resumed this morning to study word problems like percent, investment, work..etc. Reviewed some English vocabulary and the important usage of sentence/words..BLAH. Praise the Lord I was able to use most of what I reviewed in the exam.

Since my tumblr followers have been requesting for an outfit post, I decided to do a quick one. Here's what I wore to CSB a while ago, I chose to wear a sweater 'cause my cousin told me rooms there were cold and indeed it was. I paired the sweater with skinny black jeans and flats ( sorry I wasn't able to take a whole body shot, again, I was in a hurry). Took this picture using instagram, follow my account here. Hope everyone had a great weekend ! Yay for me I still have tomorrow to catch things up. Yes, we don't have classes tomorrow :)

Choice

I've always wanted to talk and share what my life is really like. I have done so many decisions and choices that changed my life. We all know we were born for a purpose, we don't just exist but we live. We all make mistakes and learn from it eventually. We learn from our past and those experience helps us shape what we are today. But whatever happened in the past...is  a memory left behind & I'm actually thankful for it.

 Like what my English teacher said, " Every moment is a moment of choice. " We're all asked to study and have good grades. Get in to college; work hard. Get a job; earn money. Get in to a serious relationship; have kids. Grow old, then sadly... WE ALL DIE.  However; the choice is in your hands, it's up to you how you'll handle it. Listen, I want you to set that thought aside, our future will come. But for now, enjoy the moment we are in, be it happiness or pain. Carpe diem, don't be worried about changes. We might not notice it, but we actually  make choice every now and then. Look, it was your choice to open this link and read what I've written. (THANK YOU, BTW) My particular reason for saying this is because there's no one to blame for what's going in your life because in the 1st place, it was you who made the decision and that choice (decision), be it right or wrong. God has a reason, don't regret and be thankful for the blessings He's showering you. 

As for my own experience, I'm questioning this one girl from my school who doesn't stop spreading rumors/news about me. That I am bad & she doesn't have any explanation or reason to conclude or does she? ( I don't know her side) But sorry to say, why are you so narrow minded? You express your hate to me thru twitter & if your best friend didn't tell you that you were being immature, you wouldn't stop. Well...

Dear my old friend,
                                                                    
        Since I remember some stuffs that you posted for me in your twitter ( and you deny to others that it wasn't for me when it      really was) I didn't plan on stealing your friend,and I don't have  plans on doing so, I wouldn't ever ruin someone else's friendship. I don't get why you're so bitter to me all of a sudden, like we were  so close and just like a snap everything changed. But it's okay, I  am not mad, I understand that sometimes, you become irritated to a  person without any particular reason. I guess that's just everyone's attitude problem. I know I did ask for a sorry and you didn't       forgive me. You see, change is not easy and if you're expecting me   to be someone who I am not..well, I'm sorry. As for me, true friends will accept and help you to change. I guess we'll never be good     friends again, but thank you. :)                                    
                                             Gail 


And one of my problems is, I tend to forgive people easily.  ( I am not only talking about this situation but most of the time when some misunderstandings happen )
Whether they deserve it or not, because that one night when I confessed my problems to our heavenly Father,  I kept thinking about how Jesus forgives even when we don't deserve it and remembering all the times I'd let him down. If he could forgive me, I could forgive also. 

I guess I learned how to handle tough situations with maturity. I'm proud to be a daughter of God & just like what I promised to Him, I'll always forgive and by the day comes that I'll die, I know I was able leave a legacy behind. :)
