There are times I want to cry,shout, and die
Time that I can be mad, sad, and gag
But, these won’t help
Try and try
Fly and fly
Despair might face me
Death might catch me
But, I wont let regrets takeover
For I have lived.

“Leather and Proper”
@Penshoppe Top, WAGW Leather Full Skirt
Today, we had our Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation Rehearsal. It still feels surreal knowing that I’m going to march this Saturday. Knowing this, I’m only a few steps closer to my dreams. Dreams do come true.
I decided to wear something that would embrace my “being different” from others today. Leather is not something you would think off when “semi-formal” is the required look. Although, I’ve managed to get away with it. To balance the edgy-goth aura of the skirt, I paired it with a flimsy and soft long sleeve blouse. Thus, creating that prim and proper look.
Can’t wait to legitimately walk for graduation!

Thank you @StylebiblePh and @MarkBuenaobra
You don’t really need high heels to feel confident. Wear clothes that makes you feel powerful and great!

Bumped into Kim and Mafia the other day at SM Aura! I miss working with them :> Both are working under Runway Productions, handles Philippine Fashion Week —— so, say “hi” to them when you see them this week!
Planning my first official shoot for Rappler.com, I thought of swimsuits. It’s one of those fashion topics that girls, fashion and non-fashion oriented, could relate to. In reality, women have different body types, and picking the right swimwear is as important to picking the right undies for yourself! So, this Rappler.com Article is a reference guide for Filipinas out there! To know more, click “me.”
