Keep Calm and Make a Difference

Finally! The bag designs for our fund-raising activity are here now. 

I really really like this pink one. I don't know but I got a thing for pink stuff. Don't get me wrong. Green is still my favorite color.

And here it is! I like this more than any other of the five. Green!!!

I only hope that many will buy our bags.

Shining. Shimmering. Splendid.

This is a Christmas gift from a woman I now consider my second mother. She gave me this last year. 

This pink robot-and-phone bracelet is a souvenir gift from my friend, Elissa last year also. I really love wearing this because it always catches the attention of people. Thanks to Elissa's good choice! 

This one is my aunt's pasalubong from New Zealand. I rarely wear it because I prefer using it on special occasions. 

Polka Dot for Summer

My sister gave this Forever 21 blouse to me as a "pasalubong" from Cebu last summer. I paired it with my mother's hand-me-down brown belt, black shorts (not too short because I am not used to it) and sky blue watch. 

Palancas from My Friends

Here’s a picture of the palancas my friends gave me. They are supposed to be given during retreat only and not during immersion like what we had last July. Nevertheless, I think palancas or good luck letters are expressions of how people such as my dearest friends care for me. 

Welcome to My World!

Here is a picture of my world! Wondering why I said “world”? What you can see are five boxes. Inside each speaks of me and tells something about my life. This will take quite longer which will cause me to post several continuations to prevent a very long post. So let’s start!

This is my mini- green box. This was originally a box of a wallet my father bought. He has this habit of putting aside things that are useless for him like this box. So found this in his drawer and got it knowing that this will only end up in the trash bin if he finds this first. I wrapped it with matching colored wrappers, green and blue green. Isn’t in cute?

Inside are wallet-size photos of me and my friends taken in Fuji Film and Picture City. The oldest of these was taken when I was still in Grade 5. The latest was just taken last August 23. (Someday, I will post these pictures in a closer view each and tell you when each was taken)

This pink and violet box was also originally a wallet box. My classmate, Kristah, gave me this one ordinary day. Guess what? I never knew there is such thing called “dream catcher”! Until now, I haven’t placed this near y bed. I might not be able to dream of good stuff even though its purpose is just to prevent me from having nightmares. (Every night I look forward to having nice and memorable dreams. Unfortunately, I would forget them the moment I wake up.)

This blue box is a box for a CD my father bought. I first saw it when I was scavenging for scraps that might be of use for any projects I might have this school year. The moment I saw it, I never hesitated to keep it in my secret corner in the room. Its emo-type design really caught my attention. So its purpose now is a case for my sticky notes. I am fond of collecting sticky notes or post its. But as of now, I only have a few. (Looking forward for some more sticky notes as gifts!)

This last one is my green box. It keeps most of my life’s stories, history, legends and tales. No one has actually opened this box while knowing the history of each object placed in it. The moment you open it, you might have an instant conclusion of who I am… the real me.

So just let it remain closed. I am still in the decision mode whether or not I will tell you about the things inside my green box. Honestly, most people know me 50% (or even less) only.

One last thing; one obvious (If you are observant) thing about me is that my favorite color is green… not the vivid one but the various shades of it such as yellow green, mint green, pastel green, blue green and many more!

Summer Serendipity

 One of the most awaited and watched TV program last summer was the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4. One of the housemates’ weekly task was a fund-raising activity wherein they will make products which will be sold by their parents.

 One of the products was the “Pili-pins”. This wonderful, creative and unique product led me my sister to an idea of making our own pins which we will also sell in school for our fund-raising activity. And here it is; a bow in a hair clip and ponytail. Aren’t they cute?
