#throwbackthursday (well, it's thursday here in the phils!)

i wonder? who started this hashtag trend. In the meantime, here's a throwback picture of "innocent" me taking my first ID picture back when I was in nursery.

What do you think of me back then?

Happy New Year, everyone! I'm finally back, it's been too long. A lot has changed since last 2013. I recently got my braces out (will blog outfits with my new and improved teeth), came back from my one week Christmas vacation in Manila and I've got tons of new outfit ensembles to share with you guys. And did I mention I joined another pageant again? Must have slip my mind.

I've had these outfit shots way back post-Halloween time. I just didn't have the time to post and edit them. I wore this to Church. Instead of the conservative-look churchgoers go for, I opted to take my new origami skort for a ride. This origami skort trend has been a favorite by many so why not go with the crowd. Enticing, is it not? I paired this skort with a pair of nude heels, neon green shirt and I'm good to go.

That awkward moment of crossing your legs just to get a book, not knowing you aren't supposed to take photos in the bookstore. Well evidently, I was one of the unfortunate ones; I only got to take one outfit shot. But it's a good outfit shot, I must say. Kudos, to my photographer! ;)

Quick post, to spare you some time to read my blog. Lol!

I went all vintage/modern kind of ensemble just to wear my brand new flats. So a nude Peter Pan-collared blouse tucked under a black highwaisted shorts should have done the trick.

Where could you possibly find music, dance, booze and meeting new friends all happen in just one place, in one unforgettable night? Oh and not to mention, it's a "Concert for Cause"? Well, the answer: Univercity 2013 at the SRP Grounds of Cebu. Now, as I promised to you all, here's 5 of the many happenings on what went down to the most awaited college festival of the year.

1. "Sound is half the picture." - bands and djs completed the event

It's never a party or a festival without the upbeat tempo of the drums or the climactic thump of a dj's mix. Undoubtedly, you wouldn't miss the 40-feet high stage that featured Cebu's best bands and djs. We've got bands from Drop Decay and The Ambassadors to djs Mister Mozo, Jom Gonzales and Republiq's very own Mars Miranda (which I had the privilege of meeting and picking him up from the airport, haha!). Sound was definitely the half of the festival's picture.

2. Pyroworks, confetti, stage light and all techy at its best

The very first thing I vividly see, since finishing my working hours, are the fireworks up in the sky. I was literally 3 feet away from the fireworks (if that's even possible), just looking up the whole time 'cause the pyroworks were spot on. The stage was MASSIVE, everything tech-related you can see on the stage. They even got the confettis blown out of nowhere to hype up the party. Talk about massive.

3. Brands, brands, brands everywhere

From Roxy to JanSport, from Islands Souvenir to Rhipstop, you name it. Univercity was the ultimate pit stop to go when it came to a festival of brands. There were games and trivias the people could play in exchange for awesome shoes, bags and what not.

4. The foods and the booze

You don't want to have hungry people for 11 hours without having anything in their stomachs. I wouldn't want to see that. So Univercity got everything from Braddex, Thirsty, Bananarific, Chillage, Chowking and Monster Energy, to name a few. And what's a party without the booze, without the drinks? Not Univercity. Haha!

5. We leave with old friends and new friends by our side

Univercity 2013 was all about bringing old friends to dance the night away and meeting new people from different schools at the same time. It was all about uniting as one, becoming each other's friends, something what college wouldn't offer. Beyond the College Exeprience. Univercity did all of that just for one night, that's what makes this the start of something new. A new tradition that would go a long way.

'Til next time.

What could possibly be a better way to end my college's University days/Intramurals Week than an after-party at the biggest college festival made here in Cebu City? Yes, I went to Univercity 2013 and yes, the title says it all, I lost my newly bought flowercrown. Such a malas! (bad luck in Filipino) But, I had such a blast at the festival. Pictures will be up on my next post.

I've always wanted to go to Coachella, and Univercity was the the nearest festival that I could go to and afford as well. Haha. So my outfit was inspired by the people of Coachella and the festival itself. I went for the infamous trend of the crop top. I bought this top 2 sizes larger than my size cause I wanted a sort of "bra slip" kind of feel. Haha! I wore my favorite booties to avoid my feet from all the muddiness of the place and added a touch of brightness with my flowercrown and bracelets. Unfortunately, I lost it when I was setting up a bunch of tarpaulins. *ugh

I was a hot mess during the festival. I had to work, pick up some people form different places, set up a bunch of tarps, and manage a ticket booth. No makeup was needed because I had no time to put 'em and I know that I would be sweating a lot. Haha.

Here's a glimpse of what went down on the biggest college festival in Cebu.

Colorfest outfit, I dare say. Don't you agree?

So much for keeping my new pair of Sperry Topsiders spotless and not blest. *sigh You probably can't see the smudges of dirt around them but trust they're there, unfortunately. But on the brighter side, I FINALLY got myself a pair of Sperry(s)(?) and in one of my favorite color, as well. Guess what color this is?

I finally found the time (not to mention guts!) to do a photoshoot. Jana Baduel is an up and coming photographer and a good friend of mine who took the chance of taking my first photos for my first ever blog post (finally!)

Caution: My modelling skills are rusty, bare with me. And I've got braces, too. :|

A gift from the Fashion gods has come down forth and it chose me. I finally got my own pair of Dr. Martens boots in black and what better way to wear them than a photoshoot. The theme of the shoot was Urban Hippie. So I've decided to pair up my boots with a mullet maxi floral dress to bring out the hippie and fun side of my outfit.

I made sure that accessories weren't all too colorful so as not to outshine the dress and because I wanted to make up with urban-y feeling. Nonetheless, I added the Peace sign bracelet to the touch for a little bit of hippie vibe.

A change of outfit, I went for the tomboy feel. I paired up my one-shoulder Grecian-like dress with my sister's Chuck Taylors and sequined beret.
