That Saturday Night.

While everyone was head-scratching, memorizing Millennium Development Goals...

Julia Samantha. <3

Anne, Melot, Valaine, Rhea. 

It's nice to finally meet these girlies!

First saw this dress at SM Dept. Store (Ann Frances) but the only gold stock was already bought when I returned the next week. 

Luckily, I found an exactly similar one at Salad Dressing. More expensive by P350 than the SM price;

but thank God for my bargaining skills. I saved P250!

We had a scheduled module exam and block exam (yes, two exams!) last Monday and the weekend was my only time to study. 

But Saturday's my cousin's wedding. 

And I'd live the rest of my life regretting if I'd miss it. 

Mom and Me. :)

Artty! 

We always look good together in photos, eh?

BUT he's NOT my boyfriend.

(How many times do I have to say this?)

Our little groom.

With the fairest of them all---Paola.

I will always look up(literally and figuratively) to this effortless beauty.

She had very minimal makeup on but still managed to look pretty.

Jan.

Best-dressed of the occasion!

I have the largest head. HAHA

Jason and Joshua. :)

Snake-style. HAHA

If there's one thing that I couldn't/would never say no to, that would be my family.

Almost everyone had a role in the entourage so we had limited opportunities to take pictures.

I hope the photographers can upload the official photos ASAP. :)

And btw.
We have a Photobooth!
Perfect for parties and school fairs!
Contact me for queries and reservations.

Annnnd (professor-accent)...

Met up with one of my closest college friends after class and since both of us are single, crush-talk was damn unavoidable.
I've been concealing so much emotions lately and talking to Cherry was like cleansing and renewal for me.
Haha, I'm using religious terms again.

Okay.

I know.

This is lame.

 Sorry.

Here's something that I wrote years ago but can be very relate-able now:

After two hours of soul-searching, I realized that I'm scared to want things. All these times, I've been saying that I don't know what I want but the truth is, I'm so, so scared to "want" at all. It's been building up in me for the longest time that it became second nature.

Maybe I did want the good, not-so-twisted things onceuponatime but now that I became this want-phobic, I came to the point that I actually started liking jumping into imbroglios and living the complicated there's-really-no-such-thing-as-ever-afters kind of life. And maybe that became my definition of content mainly because it's more feasible. So, it's like losing my idealism. Call it disillusionment or a slap of reality but it's bothering. Really.

And there. I always end up not wanting things because in my dictionary, want is synonymous to impossible.

***

See how mundane and bitter I was before?

I would have gone back to pessimism (the week hasn't ended yet, but I swear it's crazy!), if not for Cherry. We'll meet again tomorrow.

Can't wait!

Someone told my mom that they miss my blog posts already.

My apologies for the dormancy. :(

Requirements and exams consume most of my sleeptime.

I still have a lot in the line-up and hopefully I'd have time to update. 

I'll blog about our College Acquaintance Party and the Pre-nuptial Shoot next, alright?

Anyway. 

Am V, v tired.

This is too late for concentration, will sleep this off and work again tomorrow.

I hope everyone's inspired and doing fine. ?

Much love, 

Mela

I'm Interview #10 @ So-stylish.com!

Okay. 

I'm supposed to be studying now for our first module exam on Tuesday.

But I've been sleeping late for that same reason for the past days so please let this night be an exception. Hehe. 

I'm on So-stylish.com!

Maxence Taeib, the site's founder, emailed me Tuesday last week and asked if I'm good for a rush interview. 

That happened to be my busy enrollment day, going-back-and-forth processing my entrance scholarship requirements (which unfortunately didn't push through because I lacked time). 

 The idea of a rush interview startled and at the same time excited me so I answered the questions as fast as I could hence I failed to read my answers again and check the grammar, punctuations, etc.

It was only last Friday that I realized that there was a lot to edit but apparently, it was too late to correct them.

I'm feeling a bit embarrassed now with a couple of very obvious mistakes but please let me correct them here:

*The last sentence at paragraph two says. "I still couldn't post daily but seeing the views grow everyday is just a magical."

Please omit the "a" between just and magical.

*Third sentence on the last paragraph says, "Because eventually, that it is not what makes you stand out;"

 Eliminate the "it" between that and is. And change "what makes you" to "what will make you". 

Please have the heart to understand! 

Nobody's perfect. :P

I have another pending feature with herCatwalk.com but they haven't posted it yet.

Watch out for it!

Went around SM last weekend to shop for grocery items, school supplies and some clothes for upcoming events and found a dress exactly like Vern Enciso's!

Vern Enciso.

Meet my newest buddy, Mel!

We both had zebra-printed shoes today. :)

This song summarizes what I currently feel. :(

Okay. Taylor Swift. Haters gonna hate. 

I know I will never be cheer captain (I'm too heavy to be lifted).

But.

I wear short skirts. 

I wear t-shirts.

I wear high heels.

I wear sneakers.

I wear almost anything.

Sadly, yeah.

It isn't always what we wear that makes us like-able. :(

Why can't you see...that you belong with me?

I promise to never, ever, run after a guy. 

I must avoid every possible opportunity (no matter how minor it is) to get hurt.

MUST FOCUS.

SHALL STUDY NOW.

Sweet dreams, everyone!

Much love,
Mela

Long Time Coming.

I can't remember the last time I posted here. It feels like eons ago. :(

I thought I could do blogging and medschool at the same time. 

It's just past the enrollment period, uh-uh classes haven't started yet, but I've proven myself incapable already.

The DSLR camera I left in my hometown and the only thing I have is my Sony Cybershot camera.

Problem is, I don't have anyone to take my outfit posts anymore and it feels weird to be taking photos of everything -- like everyday things -- since we're just on the orientation stage.

Transfered to my new dormitory just yesterday and I'm super homesick now. HUHU

Been doing almost everything alone and it sucks like hell.

All my friends are going giddy over new crushes and yeah, majority of my batchmates are goodlooking--especially the girlies--but what the- I'm a girl!

Anyway, I don't want you guys to feel sad because of me so here are the photos I had with Nico Yap. :)))

These were taken two weeks ago but we're both busy thus not a time to meet.

Our last resort was Facebook-uploading -- the sole culprit why the photos turned out low-resolutioned. 

Nonetheless, this is one of my favorites outputs!  

Again, with no hairstyling and the least makeup, please focus on the outfit and not on my face.

:D

Awkward hands. Sorry.

Got these from a secret place in town. :)

Ooops, I know what you're thinking... This is NOT ukay (thrifted), definitely. 

Bought them with tags and a box in a very cheap, student-friendly price.

Familiar dress?

Grade Six - Faith <3

Since these are motion pictures, we wanted to achieve a 'vava-voom hair flick moment'.

Unfortunately, that is not what we captured...

Another favorite!

The neck.

I look tired but that's not you're problem anymore. :

Thanks to Nico Yap!

I'm on Catwalk Lookchangers again!

Michelle Yoon (herCatwalk's Editor-in-Chief) already sent me the interview questions last Tuesday but I still couldn't find time to answer them.

I hope tomorrow's good. 

We had the Freshmen Orientation Program for the College of Medicine today and they flooded us with video presentations!

This song became my instant favorite because of such.

Batch MnM Dos Mil Trese, can I skip the first and second years and proceed on third year?

You guys make it look like medschool is fun, fun, FUN!

I wish I'd have the same disposition. :)

Friends, I miss you.

Roxas City, I love you.

Sincerely.

It's sad that I couldn't update regularly but I'm looking forward to going home and posting here again. 

'Tis my last weekend before medschool.

I wish something different would happen.
I wish.

Anyway, enjoy yours everyone!

Much love,
Mela

A Dream Aloud.

I've been very vocal about my dream of being on Candymag.com's It Girl On the Web.

That has been the primary reason why I started blogging.

The long wait almost brought me to believe that it will be so far from occurring.

But yey, was I too focused on that goal that I disregarded other opportunities?

I woke up this morning with an email from Michelle Yoon--herCatwalk.com's Editor-in-Chief.

She said that they love my style and would want to write a feature about me and my blog!

It took me a while to reply. 

I never thought I'd reach far beyond my It Girl On the Web dream.

Candymag's Philippine-based and this one's internationally-acclaimed.

Heee. I feel so giddy.

Michelle also mentioned that aside from my upcoming interview, I was already featured last week at the Catwalk Lookchangers section of their site! 

Thank you very much!

herCatwalk also has a Facebook Page!

Please like it if you can, guys.

Was quite hesitant on blog-posting this photo but they actually liked it!

Thanks for sharing this on Facebook. :)

It was more than a year ago when I first watched this movie. My expectations were not as high as I thought it should be, anticipating the plot would be similar to those chick flicks teenagers commonly watch.

I was very wrong.

I couldn't even summon into mind the ridiculous amount of tears I've shed watching this. You may be wondering why, thinking the movie was rather annoying (considering what Summer did to Tom)  than tear-worthy. But in my case, it was the opposite. Seriously, this touched my soul more than The Notebook did! I didn't cry a tear watching The Notebook. Honest!

Many thought of her as an insensitive damsel who happened to be deficient in human sensibility, overly self-absorbed and awfully cold-hearted but in one way or another, I found reasons to fall inlove with her labyrinth-like character. Maybe it was mainly because I saw a part of myself in her. A girl who was in an unsure position, waiting for that one thing she refused to believe to happen.

Which was Love.

Plus, Tom had amazing friends. 

They're crazy and definitely not my typical hotties. 

I loved how they stood together for Tom--gave me a mental picture of how men talk about girlies. HAHA.

And I loved the progression from Tom-not-being-the-typical-swoon-worthy-leading-man to every-girl's-dream-boyfriend. Such a caring guy.

From the artists, to the script, cinematography and especially the SOUNDTRACK

---I'm obsessed with everything about this film!

Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap is currently my background music. <3

***

Had another funshoot with Nico Yap.

Jovel's been calling me since lunchtime until yesterday afternoon but I was asleep the entire morning until 4PM because I didn't/couldn't sleep that night. 

Hence, the collab.'s postponement. :(

WTH is wrong with me???!

Anyway. No outfit post today guys.

 Will be MIA for the weekend.

See you, Monday then?

Much love,
Mela
