sorry for the extreme delay. I've been so busy this past summer. I haven't been home in so long and I'm posting because I was forced to by my lovely friends.

this outfit was pretty much rushed because it's what i wore on my flight back home from singapore. these pictures were taken in Poli's house (save-the-unicorns). i came straight from the airport...

skirt, vest - cotton on

pumps, belt - Poli's

newspaper hat - DIY ;)

And here are Poli and Ina (babybarbarella)

meet my new best friend... Ina and Poli have been replaced.

All photos were taken by the lovely Bela Yatco

here's to that night we felt alive

FEBRUARY 27, 2010
PAR LA NUIT - WOODROSE PROM

MOST EPIC NIGHT EVER.

Gel - Bea - Me - Ina (babybarbarella) - Poli (save-the-unicorns) - Kara - Pam

I think this is one of my only full dress photos. I didn't really take much in my house because it was just my dad home.. and he isn't really the best photographer in the world. hahaha

Angela - Me - Bea - Cheska - Anj

This is seriously my favorite photo of the night. I can't help but laugh every time I see it. Hahaha. INA POLI AND ERICA TIME.

At the epic after party in Atmosphere. I really want a replay of that..

INSIGHTS ON PROM ;)
1. First it was so much better than I expected it to be. I seriously thought it would be boring. But hell, it was the complete opposite of boring.
2. I guess being part of the prom committee made me love it more because of the great turnout of everything. I don't really have pictures of the decorations and the whole place, but let me tell you now, it's seriously a cross between Moulin Rogue, Alice in Wonderland, Lady Gaga, and Alexander McQueen (RIP).
3. Our prom changed my view that prom is overrated. It's fun if you MAKE it fun. You can't exactly expect fun to come to you.

MOST EPIC NIGHT OF MY LIFE (once again)

it's a saturday morning. what are you doing?

I KNOW I HAVE NOT POSTED IN OVER A MONTH. or two.. school's been sucking out all my time i haven't actually had the time to do a mini photoshoot. i'll probably be back in a month, when school's out and summer's in (can't wait for that!)

two weeks ago my classmates and i had a photoshoot for our composition project about media and advertising. here are some outtakes:

SPOTTY! kena's ultra cooperative dog who does not bite. therefore i like him.

this is boogie, her other super cooperative dog.

this is ole and me.

THIS IS ERICA (me)
aka next annie leibovitz

THIS IS POLI (save-the-unicorns)
aka "it's too hot, i need hair product!"

THIS IS INA (babybarbarella)

aka napoleon dynamite

AND THE FINAL PRODUCT?
well, we actually have 6 final products, but i think this is the best one.
photographed by me

so then i was like... yeah

this whole december month was such a blur, i've been soo busy i haven't had the time to actually post :( so now it's the end of the year and this is just some random, nothing special post. but yeah. anyway...

top - H&M
well yeah that's it. i just threw it on to go pick up some shoes and get a manicure. hahahaha and i was REALLY lazy.

and then i got bored and started taking pictures of everything i could see around me... and my favorite subjects are my magazines.......

2 years of teenvogue. and i'm not sure if i want to continue with it, or switch to nylon. or maybe just get both.. but if i get both, imma have to find the cash to pay for both subscriptions.

my tita gave me this for my birthday. one of the lipsticks is seemingly missing... but actually, i just gave it to my mom. it's too dark for my already dark skin tone.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT ~~ART~~ MY EXTREME LACKING OF THINGS TO TAKE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE

(colors!)

i'd like to see you swim those seven seas

i went out with my family today. we went to manila ocean park. it was hella full. i had a hard time taking good photos inside the oceanarium so many of them didn't turn out good. but i took pictures of the sky! :D

DAYTIME

THE FAMOUS MANILA BAY SUNSET

THE MOON...

i love the sky... i really do, i don't really know why. i remember when i was little i wanted to live on a cloud.

anyway, this isn't much of an outfit post...

ramones shirt - zara

skirt - bella couture. i bought this when i was 12!

gold belt - from poli

jelly sandals - grendha

i wonder what that girl behind me in the first picture is doing........

yeah, look at me now

2009-11-20T09:08:00.000-08:00

shirt - divisoria (p75, baby!!)
skirt - zara
heels - people are people
necklaces - both from bazaars
bracelet - vintage (found it in my mom's closet)

these are probably the only necklaces i have. okay maybe that's exaggerating but then the others are those kiddie kinds.
i found the red cameo in a bazaar with martha. great stall. i bought that for p350. martha bougth a tinkerbell version of it. the owl necklace.. which by the way i saw in both forever 21 AND accesorize.... is from the woodrose bazaar that failed miserably because of ondoy. the stall i got it from was one of the last standing, i'm happy i got it. really useful. i hardly accesorize.

i spent the whole day today out of my house. i probably gained like 50 pounds with all the eating in trish's house and in diamond hotel (great food!). so yeah. today we had no school 8D

oh and teenvogue came in the mail today!! excitement

this is probably one of the best issues of the year. well in my opinion. i don't really recall any that was very WOAH.. anyway, subscription over. must renew it soon.

stay inside

2009-11-07T04:00:00.000-08:00

it's a saturday and guess what, i came from school. well not class, which is a good thing, but school, which isn't a very fun idea.

okay so opening of intrams this year was such a flop, i mean, NO PARADE?? okay yeah. screw that, i still love my team! GO BLUE!!! good job anj and diana! i can't wait for family day already.. gosh, intrams is the only thing i like about my school. seriously.

moving along, i spent the entire day in the sun. it rained a bit at some point so that was good. now i'm dead tired. but totally inspired to post something..... i just wanted to stay inside my room tho. too lazy to get out of the house

belt-gift from a friend (poli)
shorts-aeropostale
floral belly tank-vintage. i found it in my mother's closet.

i fell in love with the pattern the moment i saw it!!

and since i spent the whole day under the sun, i've got the worst sunburn ever. i look like a tomato!!!!!!!!!! look at my forehead!!! i look horrible. this is going to take at least 2 weeks to fade off. but i'm hoping it will only take a few days.the pictures are really pinkish because my room is pink. in my next house, i'm gonna make my room maybe tiffany box blue (but a bit lighter) or apple green. oh yeah, i must fix my room. i have the most random things hanging around. like that old nick jonas poster in the cornder. i wanna take it down already but i'm scared i might find a moth colony under it.

just go with the season

2009-11-03T03:37:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I went to Tagaytay with the family and we ate in some Italian resto by the ridge. Pretty awesome, I got to try out the SLR a bit. Okay so the pictures aren't that great but hell, who cares, I tried?

H&M top, American Eagle sailor shorts. I didn't bother with the accessories anymore. Haha.
