Color my summer

Didn't realize that the girl on my shirt is actually Lady Gaga until I saw the photos! Where is she now, by the way? Haven't heard of her for a long time. I'll update you on my next post if she replied already to my email. For now, here's a simple getup on our 2nd day of tour/adventure in Ilocos! Since it's summer, I'm trying to wear something colorful; taking a break from my usual black-and-white and blue-and-beige combo. Decided to wear white so that sweat won't be too obvious on my shirt while walking under the scorching sun. Who would want that anyway?! Shorts instead of pants for me to be able to move more freely and comfortably. Stocked some bracelets to complete the outfit. Travel in comfort and style!

How's your summer so far? Feel free to comment below!

Never too late for aztec

Before you raise your eyebrows and say "Why on earth is he wearing layers of clothes on a hot weather?!", keep calm. Keep calm. This was what I wore on the third and last day of our retreat at CCT, Tagaytay.

If you've read one of my recent posts, I said that this combination — beige and blue — is one of my favorites. The colors really go well together and are very pleasant to the eyes. I probably won't get tired of this get-up.

Stand out

Thank God for the cool weather, I was able to wear jacket during our second day of retreat at CCT, Tagaytay. I was scrutinizing (gusto ko lang sabihin yung scrutinizing okay) clothes to bring with me when I saw this vintage denim jacket of Dad and I knew I just have to use it. I've been looking for one for the longest time! And it appeared just in the right time. True enough, when we want something, all the universe conspires in helping us to achieve it. Thanks for the reminder, Paulo.

Basically just a simple all black ensemble. Quick tip: wear pieces that will make your get-up stand out, like this jacket that gives life to the plain outfit.

Aviators + jean jacket = ang lakas maka OFW!  

 Weird that I still covet this jacket though I have it already!! I think I'm overusing this! I can already imagine pairing it with a button down, or a collared shirt layered with a round neck tee.

May the coming new year gives us all what we wanted. Let’s all welcome 2013 with a bang! Happy New Year and be safe!

Rockin' my red jeans

Presenting my pa-cool get up! Lol well just the basic of the basics + funky accessories to give the look some edge. What do you think?

Not really into colored jeans until I saw Billy Crawford wearing them on showtime. Well I guess we have the same body size so I sometimes make him my style icon, lol “If he can pull a pair of colored jeans, why can’t I?” I told myself. 

If you have an instagram account, go check out fashionkids - it contains a lot of cute little kids who dress nicely! I’ve seen some posts of kids wearing red jeans which also served as the inspiration of this post.

HAPPY SEMBREAK!

Mister Thomasian

During the 2^nd game of UAAP Men’s basketball, UST declared a Yellow Day for the whole Thomasian Community to support the tigers as they battle against the Blue Eagles. We may have lost the game but my Thomasian spirit remains the same. :)

As expected, a lot took the chance to get up. How I wish I had my camera with me and take pictures of those people whose outfits caught my attention (feeling Bjorn lang!) But it’s so refreshing to see my schoolmates not in their uniforms.

How I wish UST also has “wash day” once a week like some universities. Wearing uniform everyday makes me sick. But wearing civilian everyday is costly so I would settle for a wash day. You with me? No? Okay :(

Earthling

Well hello there semestral break (though I can’t say it’s official until I see my grades)! Iswear this was my most petiks sem ever! Residing at a place that’s 2 jeepneys and 6 LRT stations away from your school is not easy. The long travel tires the heck out of me thus I just clean myself, change clothes and go to sleep after I get home (PM class right here). It took me a while to adjust so you can’t really blame me. But I tried to wake up early and do my duties as a student :p

Being an Accounting student is not easy. Though Accounting problems usually *just* includes basic mathematical operations, solving them is not like just eating a piece of cake. It requires imba analytical skills, deep comprehension and critical thinking (well most of the courses do).

The recent CPA board exam showed that 5 Thomasians made it to the top 10, 2 of them being the top 1, both having an average of 94.14%. Total passing rate is 93.09% - 377 out of 405 examinees. I can’t help but to be proud and inspired!! I promise to do my best so that someday, I will also become a Certified Public Accountant! WAIT AND SEE!

Btw, can this look pass as a corporate world attire? :D

The weather has been crazy these days. Floods everywhere. Suspension of classes here and there. Oh sembreak, why are you going away?

Anyhooo, what’s best to use in this kind of weather? Sweaters! You can never go wrong with them. It’s always nice to pair navy blue with beige, but since my sweater has gray details on it, I decided to match it up with a pair of pants that has a lighter shade and with a pair of shoes that has the same hue.

Keep it casual

Sunday family day at the mall. Was only wearing polo shirt and jeans combo (my usual wears) but then it started to rain heavily so I had to grab this jacket to keep myself warm! Decided to pair my white tee with distressed jeans and sneakers to keep the look from being too formal.

Today marks the start of our prelim week so I stayed up late last night to finish reviewing for my exam only to find out that classes will be suspended again in UST! Well I think I’m getting old because class suspensions don’t make me happy at all. Reason is that I’m already in 4th year college so I’m making the most out of it! But of course, they made a right decision for suspending the classes because rain keeps on falling and getting harder! Safety of the students before anything else!

To those who are in a safe place: let’s all be thankful and say a little prayer for those who don’t have a shelter and are affected by the heavy downpour. Safety reminders: Make sure that your cell phones are fully charge! If not, charge them while there’s still a power supply - you’ll be needing them in case of emergency (click this for emergency hotlines). Prepare all the basic needs in case of brownout - flashlights and candles. Stay home, stay dry, be safe everyone! Bawal magka-sakit! (Mag-clusivol)

This is what I will usually wear if let’s say I’m studying in a university without a prescribed uniform.
