My Lost Art

I have been exposed from visual to performing arts ever since I was a kid. Singing or dancing in-front of a crowd was acceptable to the larger audience. However, I didn't get much support in appreciating lines and textures and explosion of colors. My playmates find me a bit weird back then. 

I do not have formal training when it comes to drawing or painting. My delineating memory is being giddy ecstatic over crayons, a blank canvass or anything to that matter. I just drew, painted and try to be what I think was creative. Growing up, I started joining competitions and even represent my institution. Surprisingly, bagged either 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. I find freedom in painting.

OUTFiT | Recycled

I bought this contemporary dress because I fell in-love with the print! And because it's in my list of faves, here's an outfit repeat for you all, for which I am certain that you have something like this (favorite wardrobe) in your closet, too.

Special shoutout to my gorgeous older sib, Honey, for taking my photos today. Thanks always for your support, Te! Love you tons.

Contemporary is all that I can afford. LOL.

OUTFiT | Bipolar Weather

Hello, everyone!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.  I was thankful that I had with me my favorite denim jacket when I went out. Aside from the office ACU set at high, the weather acted a bit bipolar. First, it was madly searing hot then moments later, the wind carried a bit of cold breeze which I wished lasted for the entire day to give me an excuse to put this denim on. 

I just love a good comfy dress! Perhaps the reason why you all see me in dresses and skirts a lot is because it's my "comfort clothing". It's basic, of low maintenance (most fabric used in dresses doesn't need ironing), versatile (can be styled in different ways or can be paired with almost anything) and most importantly, it's summer foolproof!

Hot and cold

ROADTRiP | Intramuros - The Walled City

Happy Labor Day! 

On this meaningful occasion for us, workers, allow me to share with you one of my many dreams and perhaps my motivation to slave so I can one day achieve them all. *wink* 

My desire is to travel to distant, historic places. Visit medieval castles in Europe -- walk inside the home of Vladimir the Impaler, follow the trail to Donnattar Castle or feel the stone walls of the Hever palace. I've been wanting to see the Valley of the Kings, the Nazca lines, Machu Picchu, the Mayan Aztec Temples... There's just a lot to write down here!!

History fascinates me. I love to find answers to questions and know how things came to what they are. Who wouldn't want to know the story behind Pumapunku? It's thrilling and mind boggling at the same time. History is knowledge and knowledge can be powerful, don't you think?

While I still work on my dreams, what better place to start than home. Here's an  untold adventure of the time I played tourist in my own city and went to the historic Intramuros - also known as The Walled City.
