The Romantic Type

Romantic Type

I think Leighton is absolutely beautiful. She can work any outfit.This is just perfect for a night out or even a stroll in central park.

Adam Lambert performs Tracks of my Tears



Adam Lambert is AMAZING! This is such a beautiful song and the way that Adam performed it is so mind blowing. This video only showcases his vocal performance but in the stage performance, he's done so much more to the song. He was able to capture the emotion that created that song, and it pierces right through your soul. Really Beautiful!

Plus, he looked so great here, so much resemblance to Elvis. =)

Places I Need to See Before I Die

The City of Light- Paris, France

Avenue des Champs-Elysees

Eiffel Tower


Although I can already put a check mark on Paris, I would still love to take my bike and ride it around the city again and again and again. I don't think anyone can ever get sick of Paris. It's amazing how you can have so many different experiences in the same place. It's a place where you can spend the entire day sitting outside a cafe and never get bored. Observing the variety of people passing by can give you the time of your life. I love how everyone seems like a work of art. Architecture is also very interesting. Majority of their establishments were built in the earlier centuries, and they are well-maintained. The intricate design of the buildings are like sculptures that only a true artist can do. And ofcourse, Fashion. The most renowned fashion icons who continuously set the trends for the world to follow come from France. The list of great French fashion innovators includes Chanel, Christian Dior, Hermes, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurent. It is the perfect place to cultivate and introduce new designers because Parisians take fashion seriously. They wear mix and match items that most of us won't even dare touch. Paris is the fashion city of the world because in Paris, everyday is a fashion show and the world is their runway.

"In the City of Light, the birthplace of romance and style, everything is magic, and anything can happen."

The Hampton Court
London, England





Great Britain is one of the most talked about country in my History class. Every corner seems to have its own story to tell, and I can't wait to hear it myself. The fact that London is one of the fashion cities of the world is just a big bonus.


Salzburg, Austria


Mirabell Palace


I am proud to say that I can put a check mark beside Salzburg, Austria. I was able to skip across the Mirabell Palace just like the von Trapp children. Walking through the streets of Salzburg feels like walking inside a big museum or a movie set. Every establishment looks like it matters, like a page needed to understand a book. More importantly, I will never forget the sweet taste of Mozart chocolates.


Victoria Falls-Zimbabwe and Zambia, Africa



"A fantasy destination of every adventure traveler, the falls are a mile wide, spanning the entire breadth of the Zambezi River. As they crash 400 feet to the gorge below, they create a delicate, endless shower of rain, rainbows, and - if the moon is bright and full enough - lunar rainbows that drift in and out of view. At dawn and dusk the sky, water, and mist take on hues of pink and orange, especially during the wet season from March to May, when the cascades are at their greatest capacity and the opaque spray is kicked 1,000 feet into the sky."

TO BE CONTINUED.

A Mask


Do you ever feel the need to put on a mask? I do. There are different types of people in the world and showing the same "you" to all of them seems impossible. So, does acting differently when interacting with different sets of people make you a hypocrite? Can you be accused of not being true to yourself? This dilemma crossed my mind upon realizing that my friends would describe me in totally different ways. This is probably normal, but somehow it alarmed me because i realized that I don't know which one is the real me. When you lived these different faces, how can you tell which one to keep, which one to cultivate?

I love Spring/Summer






Coming out of Spring/Summer Collections mean more apparel choices for us here in Manila. Although I love the coats, tights, and dark colors of Fall/Winter, they are just not wearable here. S/S is more apt for our weather. And who wouldn't appreciate the pastel colors, cool fabric, and laid-back-yet-still-trendy style.

Hot Colors for spring: Pink and Orange
Hot Styles: Short Dresses, Jumpsuits, Baggy and Wide-legged Pant, Floral Patterns, Mix and Match of different patterns w/ similar color, and ofcourse mini-skirt and shorts.

I adore Katy Perry's boldness in fashion and in music. Her quirky style puts a smile on my face.
