at 24 years...



a very late post.
this was during my birthday last week. it was a quiet, very emotional one for me. i miss my family, my sister who always have something to make my day extra special and my boyfriend who always finds a way to make me smile whenever i feel like crying.

im grateful to have reached 24 years in this world. and im looking forward for more years to come. during my birthday i had a lot of time to think of what's going on in my life, what i want to do and how i badly want some things.

i was never a person who loves material stuff. yes, i long for having a decent computer (not for myself but for the reason that i badly need it for school stuff), i love dresses (and it feels good to see my dad happy that i'm finally being a girl), and other things girls my age want. i want them but i don't go on a tantrum just to have them (hi Arthur!). ok, well not all the time, i throw a mini tantrum to my boyfriend but just when i know its ok. anyway, my point is that day just proved how much i wanted to be just with the people i hold close to my heart. how i don't care if i have new stuff, how all i want was a hug from my family. how i badly wanted one.

it made me think of where i'll be next year. of how i'll spend my next birthday.. it made me realize of the more important things. even though my 24th was full of tears and longing, i woke up and ended it with a smile. waking up and seeing the early morning skies transition of colors is a blessing. a blessing that i'm alive and breathing again. a blessing that im able to see such a beautiful thing. a blessing to be happy in such a simple thing. and i ended my day with an amount full of thank you's. for the people who greeted me, for my family and for having a boyfriend who will always do whatever he can to make me happy and make me realize that LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING. but what i loved the most was the fact that i was reminded to stay grounded.

HELLO 24 year old ME!

Project Runway 8

im more of an America's Next Top Model girl then Project Runway. i don't anything about designs and sketches. or garments and cloths. i just enjoy more how models portray a certain emotion and how its being captured in photos. i love how photgraphers translate what they see on film and convey it in their photos. and i LOVE LOVE TYRA BANKS! she's the ultimate!

but, this is not about ANTM. its about how i discovered and learned to love PR. im watching season 8 on dvd and i have to say i got hooked. im excited to see their designs and amazed at how fast they can come up with such amazing stuff!

i don't have any like stick to one favorite atm but i adore Casanova's design in their collection challenge of military and lace look. here's a pic:



like im sooo gonna wear something like this.. its sexy and stylish but has an edgy side. i like how its not too girly coz of the lace. im like crazy for this outfit.

i also like Peach Carr but the last ep i watched she was ousted. i like Ivy Higa, and Valerie, too. here's a mini collage though of Michael Drummond, April Johnston and Casanova.

tumbling freak!

so yea... i've been gone for a long time and im sorry.. got so busy with school and was just overwhelmed by the 3 month stay of boyfie here. i know i should be like inspired to write. trust me, i am. too inspired that my fingers can't keep up. anyway, im not totally awol. i was actually tumbling in tumblr! yep! i discovered the wonderrs of reblogging pics. not very original but i kinda found my home when it comes to dealing with ldr. that's where i found people like me who are in a ldr. so i was stuck there for over a month. plus the fact that my computer broke down on me.

well, im back and i hope you'll still continue reading my posts! if again you'll notice how i don't have any updates, you can check and follow me in twitter and tumblr.

my tumblr though is more about me and my boyfriend so you might get a lil over in the love area. so yea, i'll try to post more here since i've invested a lot of things on this one. im not gonna let this blog of mine die..

so im inviting you all over again for my idk-how-many-times-comeback in blogspot!

HAPPY READING!
