Against the Light.

Stole a few minutes before Dad took us to the airport last Friday.

I have long planned what to wear on my four-day stay in the big city but when Dad saw my shoes, he instantly shoved me to wear flats instead. :/

As always, I didn't regret following his advice. 

Thank God for the virtue of obedience!

This was supposedly the debut of my Asian Vogue wedges and leather pants, but since we were on a rush, I looked a bit unkempt plus the inappropriate lighting.

 I'll give justice to these pieces ASAP, swear!

All the accessories above cost less than a hundred each! 

Message me for queries. :)

I bet this year's Holy Week would be a very unique one since Lola's spending it in the U.S. and family gatherings will never the the same without her. :/

Nevertheless, we'll really try to make it as meaningful as the previous years.

I'll mark off each day with a cross and laugh about all that we've lost...

How do you guys plan to spend the Holy Week?

Much <3,

Catching Up.

Spent the weekend at Manila and it has been one of the most hectic weekends for me. 

Along with five others plus our spiritual director, I was tasked to facilitate another Sons and Daughters Encounter. If the one last October was the first in Mindanao, this is the first for Manila after more than ten years.

I feel so privileged to be constantly given an opportunity to serve God by empowering the youth and bringing out the leaders in them. 

We had participants from Pasig, Paranaque, Cavite, Subic, Pampanga, Valenzuela, Bacolod, and from a number of Gawad Kalinga Villages in Manila. 

I don't have much photos but I'll blog about it as soon as I have time. :)

For now, here's what I wore to church two Sundays ago.

I loved these red wedges too much, I couldn't help but wear them again!

 I'm selling rings like these for P50-80! 

 My first LV bag from my boyfriend's mom. Receiving a gift from her is just the sweetest thing that has ever happened to me! 

Wore a cardigan over my dress since sleeveless/backless outfits aren't allowed at church. :)

As a tribute to my beloved, here are the photos I took for his birthday last year. :)

I'm actually wearing the same dress. 

I miss being this thin! :( :/ 

I couldn't post the video I made for him because it was kinda blah so here's what he personally made for me. Excuse the cheese. :D

Much <3,
