First day of school = roller coaster ride

I've already had few ups and downs as my senior year started just this week.

I was excited and kind of nervous going back to school again. Excited because I'll get to see my friends again. Nervous because I know our subjects are going to be tough as ever. Plus, the major down of all, I've had trouble being accredited as President of our academic organization, EcESS(Electronics Engineering Student Society). But yesterday, everything got settled and now I'm working on our accreditation papers already so now I'm happy again. I've shut the world outside for a day or two but I'm back to being the cheerful and bubbly Job everyone knew.

It's really stressful being a student and a leader but I really enjoy doing things for the greater good of my fellow EcE students. Also, because of this org I have learned to love my course and do my best to succeed in it. Most people would think that it would only distract me on my studies since it would require so much of my time and effort, I do get their point and they're right it's quite tiring BUT being a leader of our organization motivates me to do better on my studies so as to inspire other students most especially the lower years.

With the help of God, I could achieve all my goals for this school year.

A moment with me, myself and God

Today was one of the most rough days I've ever had so I went to our chapel in school to be alone and to meditate and talk to God. I'm burdened and I just have to let it all out and to just trust Him. Just trust Him. Everything happens for a reason. I may not understand his reason for all this trials and heartaches I have right now, someday I will. He will let me figure it all out in the end. And, I will be okay eventually. Hope I'll feel better soon.

Bloggers United stikes 3!

First Bloggers United I attended. It was so much fun to hunt for my favorite bloggers! Yes, it was literally a hunt because it was too overcrowded! I haven't shopped a lot though since there are only few male bloggers there and I'm not even with the same size as theirs so yeah photo-op na lang! Ha ha ha.

All the bloggers are so nice and accommodating! But there are really some who stood out to me since they were extra-friendly pa. I even saw bloggers from Tumblr. Also, the BU team are commendable! They did a very good job! Sayang I didn't have a photo with Ms. Ana Gonzales of Anagon! She was super duper nice. Nagkatinginan lang kami then boom! nakachikahan ko na siya! Sobrang kulit. Hope I could chat with her more pa SOON!

On the bus. Couln't contain my excitement so nagpaka-vain na lang! I went with my friend, Harvey. Last bonding na namin 'to for now since he transferred to Lyceum already. Good luck, Friend! I know you'd do well there!

Fashionista Commuter ang peg namin going to Makati. Love it! I really enjoy commuting as well. Hassle sa muscle pero fun!

 With David Guison of DG MNL. Siya talaga pinaka-unang hinanap ko! :"> I adore his style and swagger.

 Of course, with my Ate Krissy of krissyfied. She went to PLM also and she's one of the bloggers I really admire because her blog stood the test of time! She's been blogging since 2007(correct me if I'm wrong, guys)! Just wow! With that being sad, I'm determined to keep this blog up.

 Bubbly Ms. Melai of Style and Soul hosting the event. She did a very good job!

Reese Lansang. I've followed her on Tumblr but she has also a Blogger account. I really love her for her artsy fartsyness when it comes to her style and works(necklaces, earrings and bracelets).

With Paul Jatayna of paulhighness. Blurred siya here pero in person hindi, swear! Ha ha ha. Love his style also! I've just followed him recently but I became an instant fan of his.

Ganda nang lighting sa stage! And the backdrop is so classic! Bonggels!

 Hi, Mother Becky!!!!!! <333

With THE Divine Lee! I'm so happy I finally met her in person! I'm such a big fan of hers. She supports the LGBT community and she's beking-beki as well. I dream to be her apprentice someday! *u* Libre mangarap, di'ba? Ha ha ha.

 With Karl Leuterio. I asked him to answer the CLEAR Quiz that's why I just have to have a photo with him. His style is amazing too.

With Sarah Tirona. Asked her to answer the CLEAR quiz as well.

 Now, Gelo of Fabgelous is on the stage hosting with ms. Melai! He's so hilarious! Ha ha ha.

Debbie and Demmie Fermin of The Twins Owning It. We were schoolmates back in High school. Been following Ate Debbie's blog ever since Multiply was a trend in blogging then while Ate Demmie was the Student Council President in our school. They're both student achievers and something I've really admired about them. Good luck on Med school, mga 'te! :)

With Kelly Medina of The Traveling Boots. I approached him immediately when I saw him near the stage. I love his style! And the fact that some of his fashion items are tailor-made! Pakak!

Vanity with Harvey. Ha ha!

 Haggardo Verzosa na!

With Jake Galvez. I first saw him on Becky Nights and as I learned more about him, he immediately became one of the bekis I really look up to.

With Laureen Uy! So nice to see her.

 With Carlos Concepcion of Kingdom of The C.

With the lovely Camille Co! Soooooo posh! Love her! <3

 With Ms. Raleene Cabrera. Sayang humaba na 'yung hair niya. But still, edgy pa rin!

With Charlene Ajose from Tumblr. We were on our way out na then I saw her and I took the chance to have a photo with her! I've been a follower of hers ever since I started blogging on Tumblr. Tangkad niya na tas naka-heels pa! Wuu! Nalula ako, eh. Ha ha ha. It was nice to meet her! :)

Didn't have the chance(or guts) to have a photo with other bloggers I frequently visit, like with Ms. Valerie Chua and Mr. Bjorn. I also found a new blogger to follow and she's Janine Cham of True Infidelity on Tumblr. She makes cute polymer clay pieces. Check these bloggers out if you're not following them yet! You'll love them also I'm sure.

I really had a great time and I'm oh-so-looking-forward to the next Bloggers United! I gained new friend in this event as well her name's Andi of andicomia. She was super nice and her blog looks great! Hope to meet more friends from the blogosphere next time! :"> For now, I'll continue following these bloggers on their blogs. I hope someday I could inspire others through this humble blog of mine as well. *u*

Congrats, BU Team for a very succesful event!

Tired Failon

Another tiring day. Went to school to make a gown made from recycled materials. Gasgas na 'yung theme, I know. But it has to be high fashion! It is going to be used by our female representative for PLM Fahionista, an event held annually in our University's Foundation Day which will be held on the 4th week on June. There will be 6 themes for this year's runway and the theme assigned to our organization, EcESS, is this.

It's frustrating because they've only announced that the photoshoot would be on June 2 already which is on Saturday. We thought it's going to be next week so even if we have already the design and everything, we have to rush this today and tomorrow. We're not even halfway through it since we also have to do our guy representative's clothes.

Hopefully, we could finish this all tomorrow. I could just feel that the outfits we're making will look amazing and ka-vogue! Our efforts shall not be wasted. Ha  ha ha!

Star-spotting summer

Philippine Fashion Week has recently ended and I must say that this season was so star-studded! Popular clothing brands here in the Philippines have brought international celebs and top models for their show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch any of the runway shows during PFW. But luckily, I still got to see Ian Somerhalder(Damon Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries), Allison Harvard and Dominique Reighard(America's Next Top Model) in flesh! Now let me tell you about my star-spotting adventure.

Ian Somerhalder for PENSHOPPE / Mall of Asia / May 24, 2012

Ian Somerhalder went to MOA to meet his fans just before he bids farewell to the Philippines for now(Yes, for now. I'm really hoping he'll come back soon although I doubt that since he's going to be busy taping again for his American TV show, The Vampire Diaries).

1) Ian told the fans, "No pushing!" as soon as he got up on stage. It's your fault, Ian! You got all of us screaming and pushing right then and there! Ha ha.

2) Eri Neeman was the host for that 30-minute event and he got to interview Ian Somerhalder. He asked Ian if what quality a lady should have and Ian answered it's her smartness. And the crowd went "Awwww!". 

3) These lucky b*tches won in Twitter and they got to have a photo-op with Ian.

4) And....a KISS from him!!! I'm so jealous I could grab their hairs and throw them in the air. No, just kidding! But seriously, I'm jealous. Bite me next time, Ian!

5) Ian giving the crowd a flying kiss before leaving.

Ah it was so wonderful seeing him in person even though I was so far away from the stage since I got there only an hour before it started. But still, I saw him and that's what matters. Such a fan girl, I know.

Allison Harvard & Dominique Reighard for BENCH / Meet & Greet at Trinoma Main Atrium /  May 26, 2012

Ever since I've watched them in America's Next Top Model, I've been a big fan of theirs especially of Allison Harvard. I was so deeply affected when she didn't win for the second time(All-star cycle). But then again it was fated so that she would come here in the Philippines to be the face of Michael Cinco's Impalpable perfume.

1) Allison and Dominique just came out. The M&G started out half an hour late! But then again, it was worth the wait! At first I was at the 2nd floor but they were far away so even though it was already too crowded at the first floor I still went for it. A little push here and there is what it takes to get near them. Ah, the things I do for fandom!

2) I love this shot I took. It seems to be telling a story like the Coco Rocha episode during the All-star Cycle.

3) Allison doing a silly face and Dominique waving at her fans. She likes to wave a lot! Ha ha.

4) Lucky fans who won in Twitter(Why don't I win? *sniffs*) got to have a photo-op AND an autograph from Allicat & Dominique.

5) Hardcore fan crying just because she saw Allison. Whoa! And I thought I'm already hardcore. Ha ha.

6) Photo-op with Allicat! I'm jelly. *sniffs*

7) Photo-op with Dominique. Can you see the struggle of getting a good shot? Ha ha.

8) Allicat dancing. Put yo hands up in the air! Sooooo adorbs!!!

9) Dominique waving. Told you so she loves to wave.

10) Allison and Dominique doing their thing. Posing for the cameras before they left the venue.

It was so nice to see Allison in person! I'm just so happy I could tear up and cry then puke rainbows and butterflies. Hu hu! She was waving at our part and I think she's looking at me directly and keep telling us that it was so hot and I just can't help but shout that it's because she was so hot. Ha ha!

Sorry for the poor quality shots, though. You have to understand, there was a lot of pushing involved and they were only in a platform and not a stage and it's excruciatingly hard trying to get a good angle while my arms are super stretched to its limit. But it's all good with me since I saw them in flesh anyways. Ha!

Oh and a funny story, some people pushed me so hard they don't even know who Allison and Dominique is. Ugh. I even overheard someone said, "Uyyy, si J.Lo! Sino 'yung blond?!"(Heyyyy, it's J.Lo! But, who's the blond girl with her?!) Seriously, people?! The way na manulak kayo, MASAKIT! Ha ha ha ha.

A shot I took of Allicat. A little bit of editing then voila, instant fanart. Love her!

I feel like a total fangirl and I'm lovin' it! Hoping to see more celebs in the future! This experience motivated me to work on my dreams and maybe someday, I'll be the one people would want to see and would shout for my name! 

Dream BIG.

P.S: Thank you, Bench & Penshoppe for bringing these stars here in the Philippines! You have no idea how this made some of our dreams came true. Great job!

P.P.S: Thanks to Twitter for keeping me updated about the whereabouts of these celebs who came in the Philippines for about a week or two!
