STORY | I'm Another Year Wiser

March 1. My birthday!

Having balloons and celebrating it with friends and family was quite a blast. I never really get to have a birthday party growing up. So, the thought of being able to host your own celebration got me pretty excited. Yeah, I get giddy over little things. 

It's time to bring out the big balloons

SToRY | Back to School

I was invited by my friend -- who's a professor at New Era University -- to conduct mock job interviews in 2 of his classes. He is teaching several major subjects for the College of Business Administration. Having graduated from this university myself (AB Political Science), I was delighted and honored to give back and share my years of expertise in Talent Acquisition.

Stepping into the halls of NEU, seeing long time acquaintances, whipping pass former classrooms and visiting the cafeteria made my insides smile. This is definitely one of the places I call home.

My outfit today perfectly reflects this experience. Bright, celebratory, jubilant and thankful. Choosing a colorful, smart casual look is also deliberate. I want to make an impression of --- "Hello, I am approachable. Don't be shy to answer my questions." --- to the students I am going to speak with. Almost every piece here is thrifted! 

Blazer, dress and shoes: Less than $26.00! Hooraahh!

OUTFiT | Taken 3 and My Rebecca Bloomwood Moment

Faux leather varsity jacket and Taken 3.

Isn't that the right combination? Well... okay. I know badass would mean an authentic black leather jacket. But this would suffice.

I've been unsuccessfully hunting for the perfect varsity jacket for months. Hand it to the fashion gods, I accidentally found this quietly hanging on one of the many racks in Forever 21.  So forgive me, I Rebecca Bloomwood-ed as soon as I laid my eyes upon this baby. Purchased it (plus a few more) for PHP 2,045 ($45.81). But hey! Atleast the "world was better" after the lady behind the counter handed my shopping bags.

Plus, I have a date with Bryan Mills. Hahaha.
