Sagada Day 1: Banaue + Inkkas

Hello from the ghost town that is Sagada! It's almost 12:30am and people here, apparently, sleep before 10pm. So eto solo ko na ang wifi! Scarcity na naman tomorrow. Lols. Just wanted to post a quick blog entry. Signing out in a few, early call time tomorrow, I mean later! Hiking at 7am. Gaaah. My body still feels like it had been hit by a mini bus from all the stretching and climbing and swimming (went caving/spelunking) we did earlier. Wait for that post! Promise, epic our pics. Haha. Anyway, here's what I wore today plus some photos:)

Thrifted leather jacket, Promod sweater, Bubbles shorts, Inkkas aztec sneakers

new Bubbles shorts, new favorite! Love the fit and the length is just right for me:)

Kawaii Kringles wrap charm bracelets

This gorgeous pair of sneaks from Inkkas came a few hours before we left for Sagada. I don't know why, but I felt that I just had to bring it. Thought it'd be perfect to wear and shoot in Sagada. Db? It actually screams of the place! Hehe. Will make a separate post about Inkkas soon. Love the brand and their advocacy!:) 

So, the YOLO group decided to travel to Sagada this time! Joined a tour group (c/o Tracy)   for just P3,800 per person. Cheap na db?! It includes transpo, accommodation and tours na. Super worth it! After 8 hours on the road, we stopped at Banaue for breakfast:)

breakfast at Banaue!

view from our table, niiice. nagtalo pa kami if ito na ba yung rice terraces. lol!

After feeling sorry for ourselves thinking that's not the Banaue Rice Terraces we envisioned...

Two hours later after leaving Banaue...

Will post our caving/spelunking pics next. Super epic, you shouldn't miss it. Hehe. Gotta sleep! Love you all. Oh, watch ASAP tomorrow! Styling Ms. ZsaZsa and Zia even if I'm miles away! Hehe. Ciao:)

Bipolar

(Wrote this post yesterday!) Hey guys, I'm currently blogging in the dark. My sister and Ana are here, our apartment has become a mini evacuation/retreat center. Speaking of which, yesterday was our last day volunteering at Pino Kitchen packing cooked food that were distributed to displaced citizens affected by the nameless epal typhoon. I wanna say thank you to my blog sisters/friends who all came to help, all the food donors, Gabby Cantero for providing transportation for our meals yesterday (even if it's super last minute), Paul for lending his truck and car for 2 days and Moonleaf for the support and for sending over more food to cook. It was really a group/joint effort fueled by genuine love and concern for our fellow men, a truly humbling experience. But as Mich said, we could start helping without waiting for tragedies to happen. Anyone who wants to sponsor a scholar? Or donate books or school supplies? Or maybe free food in public schools? Sabi nga nila "Give him a fish and he can eat it in one day, teach him how to fish and he can eat forever". Deep db? Pero aminin totoo.

I wanna post photos of our relief experience but wag nalang coz Chef Ed of Pino and his team asked us not to tweet or take photos (they're humble and cool like that). I think they don't want people to think we're announcing to the world whatever it is we're doing. But of course if it was up to me, I would share them to the world. I think it's okay as long as your intentions are pure and if only to inspire others. If you're following me (and other volunteer bloggers) on twitter/instagram, then I'm sure you've seen some photos. Kiber na sa mga trolls (there were a lot of people on social media sites hating on people who posts photos while doing relief efforts, the fuq). Anyway, I hope you've all done your part in helping those in need. :) You can still drop off donations at Moonleaf!

Since I've hibernated for a few days (was super busy), I think it's time to make a blog comeback na. Posting an outfit I wore the same day the epal habagat hit manila. Got stranded in Greenbelt with Mich even after doing pullouts and watching Brave (which is amazing btw, you guys should watch it). 

 

Giordano chambray shirt, Cotton On cropped top, Wardrobe Check skirt, Thrifted boots

 

Bubbles envelope bag, Crave More earrings

I love how versatile this chambray shirt from Giordano is. I've worn it HERE, and this is my other way of styling it!:) The weather in Manila is very bipolar, so all I can really do is layer lightly. Wore boots that day coz I had to run around to do gown pullouts for Karylle, and also channeled my inner bomba star (lol) by wearing this pretty bandage skirt from Wardrobe Check with my cropped top from Cotton On (which I got on major major sale). I also seldom wear earrings, but this one is just too pretty to not flaunt! Plus, it's bagay with my new aztec bag from Bubbles. Hehe.

Ending this post with solid proof that I've been doing outfit shots since I was a baby. Thanks to my awesome photog Dad for the pic!

oo mataba ako non

 Hope you're all well and safe. More posts later!:) Have an awesome Sunday:)

P.S. New giveaway later tonight!:)

Postura Day 12: Lucid Dreams

Went to the Platform Show last Sunday and I had a blast. Congrats Sarah Meier and her team (including my love Alyssa) for organizing such an awesome event! And because the Postura gang are there, I decided to dress the part:)

 

Thrifted neon top, skirt and jacket

 Ruckus neon necklace, OS bone bangle, Envy stingray cuff

SO! F.A.B. neon orange wedges

For this Postura post, I'm wearing proudly Filipino made accessories-- neon necklace from Ruckus and my bone bangle from OS! I think the stingray cuff (huhu) from Envy is also locally made. Not sure though. And of course, the debut of my new orange shoes from So Fab! It definitely screams summer  noh? In love with the color! It's super comfortable too. Wore it the whole day and my feet didn't hurt. Loooove!

More posts later. Heading out to scavenge for food at my cousin's house. Laterzzz.

Reversed & Detached

Here's what I wore to our Bar Dolci, Eat's a Date event last week. I built my outfit around my new detachable collar from Missartorial! It's so pretty I sweaaaar. It makes a strong statement and takes any outfit to a whole new level. Lakas maka-japorms eh! And don't you just love my aztec print skirt?:)
