Grungy

 

Praise God for a very very good weather in Manila these past few days. I love that it is just partly sunny during the day, not scorching and there's this cold breeze during the night. Makes me want to spend more time with my bed and pillows. The best part? I could wear my sweaters again! :) Last December was just like Summer, so didn't enjoyed the weather as much. What's happening with mother Earth?

Wedge Sneakers: Promod

I've got a thing for comfortable-chic shoes, when I found one I tend to overuse them and afterwards get sad when they are ruined or something. Speaking of which is the wedge sneakers trend - which I really love! I know the trend has been around for a while now and I got frustrated when I wasn't able to get a pair from Topshop or Forever 21 last year because they were so in-demand that time. This pair I got from Promod just recently were a great substitute if you can't afford pairs from Isabel Marant, Giuseppe Zanotti or Marc by Marc Jacobs like me. They're not as luxe but they definitely do the same trick in fashion. Honestly, if i can, I'd love to have more in different colors like these pictures below that I collected from random sites typing "wedge sneakers". :))

 Well, we will see. For now, let's be happy with what we got. :))

Hello 2013!

Everything happens for a reason, and though a lot of bad, painful, sad and challenging situations I have experienced in 2012 I cannot deny the fact that I am also blessed with the good ones. 

Each and every one of us has a battle that only we can also overcome. No matter how big or small, we must face it with great courage, heart full of hope and a mind with God's wisdom. 

Skirt: FOREVER 21

Arm Candies: HAPPYBOON / Watch: Parfois

Boots: from Hong Kong

The hardest and painful things happened to me this year and without experiencing them I would never find out that I am stronger than I thought I am. Pastor's once said in Sunday service, "mourn as much but be sure to rejoice a lot more", because you are still here, and there is still hope. 

In 2013, I've made a decision to leave all the bad memories behind and just start anew. I don't know what the future holds for me but one thing I know for sure is that I have God, and as long as He's in control I don't have to be afraid cause great things are about to come.

To God, I am so excited for what you have in store for me - let's do this!
