Handmade Christmas Gifts

I made these last year to give as gifts to my good friends Niro and Yani (Hi, NY! ❤)! Never got around to posting the photos. I've been busy making a bunch of things but have absolutely no time to take pictures of them. Also, the pictures are much better when Kyle takes them! He took these ones, obviously. Haha. So I'll just wait 'til I see him next Friday and have him take a whole batch of photos for me. Heeheeeeee :D Super blessed to have my very own photographer. ❤

C. S. Lewis Song

I've always loved this song but for some reason I can't get it out of my head. Not a bad song to be singing though. :] Just thought I'd share it with you all! :]






If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Hmm.. Hair

I wore this sometime last month to hang out with friends. As you can see, my hair here is super long. Kinda miss it but it did get kind of annoying.. Like how in these pictures there are a few stray strands that got caught in my hat, HAHA. Had no idea 'til I saw the pictures on my laptop and Kyle didn't notice either while taking these shots. He concerns himself with things better than my hair, hahaha. :\ Oh, well. Nothing I can really do about it.  Haha. I shall make sure to check that my hair is in place next time!

Girl Time

I'm happy that Chloe Moretz is doing some age appropriate shoots! This one was shot by Alex Sainsbury for ASOS Magazine. 

Week 3: Paisley

Gotta love paisley. Heehee. Random doodling on a random night last week. I think you'll be seeing a lot more paisley on my blog this year! :] 

And I obviously cannot get this song out of my mind.

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it

Stripes and Elbow Patches

I wore this to school last Friday (3 days ago). Haha. Just had to say that because I always upload photos late. Anyway, first photos with my shorter hair. If you can't really tell the difference, well.. I don't blame you. Haha.

Week 3: Homer Simpson

Woo. Third post of the day! Haha. I've never done this before. Here's that other case I was talking about in my last entry :] 

Week 3: Plankton

Another iPhone case I made. Plankton. Heehee. I love Plankton! Anyway, made this for Joyce Ching. She ordered two and you can see the other design in the next post! :]

Month 1: A Clash of Kings

Finished my first book of 2012 two days ago! A Clash of Kings is the second book in the series A Song of Fire and Ice (or Game of Thrones). Gah. Reading the third book now!! What is happening. Story so crazy. Haha. Successfully finished the second book faster than the first one. Now to finish the third book even faster. It never takes me this long to read :\ It took my one whole term (3 months) to finish the first book, haha. Never again. Took me a little over 3 weeks to finish the second one. Here's to hoping I can finish the third book even faster so I can read more than one book next month!! Hahahahaha. I am such a dork. Happy Saturday, everyone! :]

"My queen, all you say is true. But Rhaegar lost on the trident. He lost the battle, he lost the war, he lost the kingdom, and he lost his life. His blood swirled downriver with the rubies from his breastplate, and Robert the Usurper rode over his corpse to steal the Iron Throne. Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died."

-(Ser Jorah Mormont) George R. R. Martin

Constant

So here's another outfit that was taken last month. This top is one of my favorite thrifted items ever but for some reason I can't remember ever posting it on my blog! I love the color palette of this particular ensemble. Greens, blues and browns = love. What colors have you guys been wearing? :]

Week 2: 3isgreaterthan1

Another iPhone case I made. This one was made for Kim Mangrobang! :] Got two more cases to make this week and one to make next week. Hopefully, I'll be able to start making other stuff! Being productive is fun. :]

Week 2: Thread

Another late post. Drawing from last week. Made this while sewing because sometimes I like taking breaks in between doing little tasks. I start getting distracted if I do one thing for too long, hahaha. :]






I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.

The Skirt

Clearly, I spent a lot of time thinking about my title. This is what lack of sleep does to my brain. Haha. Less than 4 hours of sleep every night since last Wednesday. I'll try to sleep earlier tonight! I think I should be able to since I finally got to pass all requirements needed for last term! Yay!

Week 2: Little Twin Stars

More handmade cellphone cases! Heehee. I have so much fun making these little things. Expect another case in another post! Thank you to Kyle for these photos!

Of Metal and Stone

Here's an amazing editorial I saw months ago on fgr. Modeled by Wang Xiao, captured by Christian Anwander, styled by Sophia Neophitou-Apostolo, hair by Akki, and makeup by Pep Gay @ Streeters for 10 Magazine Winter 2011.

McDonald's

I wore this outfit last Friday to enroll at school and hang out with Kyle (who took my photos! Thank youuu! :]). I was kind of lazy so I decided to just wear a loose shirt, jeans, and boots. If you read my last post, I introduced you all to Mr. Bunny and asked if anyone could guess what my shirt was, haha. Well, I guess it's pretty obvious from the title and from the logo seen on my shirt that it's a McDonald's shirt, hahaha. Quite cute if you ask me and how could I possibly stop myself from buying it? Though I'd love to say this shirt is mine, I really can't say so. My brother also wanted to buy one so we bought it in his size and I just get it from him whenever I wanna wear it, HAHA. Good thing I like wearing oversized tops!

Hello there, Mr. Bunny!

As promised, I am introducing you all to Mr. Bunny. I've been wanting a bunny stuffed toy for a really long time now (over a year and some months), but I could never find the perfect one. Kyle found this on his recent trip to Hong Kong and bought him for me! Isn't he just adorable?

Week 1: Tea Party with Mr. Bunny

The first illustration I managed to complete this 2012, haha. Still working on my paisley print! I'll share that once I've finished it! I hope it turns out nicely, haha. It's taking me forever :\

Week 1: Joker

Here's my first craft of 2012! Made this for my brother, Enzo. I'm gonna make a bunch oh iPhone/iPod/cellphone cases in the next few weeks, but I'll try to make other things too! Haha. 

Dreamcatcher

Wore this outfit last month which is also last year but it sounds weird saying that so I won't just yet, haha. I wore my favorite oversized tee and a pair of pants I got from H&M. Love the polka dots on them! Also wore my new glasses from HK and an amazing dreamcatcher made by my friends! They just launched their second collection so if you wanna buy one, head on over to their fb page and buy away! It'll be extremely hard to resist. They're all so pretty and wearable! :]

2011 Recap

And here is what happened on my blog in the year 2011. Really feels like it just breezed by, haha. I'm really thankful for all the things that happened! It was a good year, but I'm pretty sure 2012 will be even better! 


A million thanks to all the people who read, view, and support this blog! I know it takes up some of your precious time so really, thank you from the bottom of my little heart ❤ This blog really wouldn't be where it is now without you! ❤ I'm planning to improve my posts and to update more often this year and I hope you continue to join me! Again, thank you so so much! ❤

Spectacles

Here are some frames you'll be seeing a lot of in 2012! I can't wait to show you the photos we've taken with them. 

Hello, 2012!

2011 is officially gone and I am beyond excited for this new year! I have a bunch of things planned and I mean to really do them, haha. My goal for last year wasn't fulfilled (wasn't able to read 2 books a month :[ ) and I won't let that happen this year!
