What better way to celebrate Halloween season than with a party, candies and superhero/princess-clad kids. 

There's always going to be that "Awwww" moment seeing a kid walk by with his superhero suit ready to save the day or a fairy princess spreading pixie dusts. Well, that happened at the party. 

The team and I had 3 weeks to prepare for the big event; 3 weeks to hustle, hustle, hustle all while juggling our day-to-day workload activities. Pretty stressful, I have to say just because I had to lead this party and make it successful as possible. But with my teammates' efforts and support nonetheless,  all the breakouts, the eyebags, the stress were DEFINITELY worth it. I could cry a river on how proud I am on the outcome of the party: kids had all the candies they could've imagined, games and movies to destress (haha!) and a day for kids to be their own superhero and princess. 

There isn't much photos. I was too preoccupied during the party (I was the photographer...and other multiple jobs, as well) haha! But, please appreciate what you see haha! :)

I hope you guys get to dress up this coming Halloween. I know I will, watch out. Coming soon! 

S/O to my MAP 18 babies: Anna, Camille, Faith, Tricia and Vic!

An all-white outfit is all I'm about these days; it started out me cringing over it at first but I saw
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.

The final UNIVERCITY commercial has been released already. But unfortunately, I can't seem to post the video in this post because the video isn't in YouTube (bummer!). Have no fear you guys, I have here the link of the official trailer for UNIVERCITY 2013: http://vimeo.com/71973943. Click away and enjoy! Hope to see you guys on August 24 at SRP Sugbo Cebu. Don't forget to buy your tickets, which I am selling too. Comment on this post if you're interested to buy. See you all!!!





Recently, I've been working for Spectrum this couple of weeks. For those of you who doesn't know Spectrum, "Spectrum produces enhanced concerts and festival parties electrified by lighting + stage design and live performances. (http://www.facebook.com/SpectrumPH)." Spectrum is known for their premier annual event, Sinulog Invasion, which is the biggest festival party in the Philippines. Spectrum was made to create the best part experience for you.

And now, Spectrum, in partnership with the JCI Cebu and Sonic Boom, is launching the first ever college festival in Cebu, UNIVERCITY. All college students gathered in one night,  out to rule the city.



So last August 3, 2013, we had the video shooting for the teaser commercial of Univercity. Since I would be "working behind the scenes", I opted for a simple orange cropped top and high-waisted black shorts despite the gloomy weather.

I added a pop of floral on my shoes and some gold to my accessories, for my "Look At Me" device. Haha! Now who wouldn't want to look at me? Haha.

I'm sure the commercial would turn out great, with all those awkward running and laughing scenes and the Jersey Shore fist-pumping in the "party bus".  I can't wait for the finished product.  
I recently got my first ever Nikon SLR and what better event to use it than my first outfit shot and the BTS for the Univercity Shooting. So, here are some of the behind-the-scenes pictures of the shoot.
Teaser video will be out soon. Keep you updated!

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.
