Healing by Shirae

Beginning of 2011 my heart got broken. It's 2014 and I could say, I have come a long way.  Thank you God.  In His time, my heart will be whole again. I am sharing this because little by little I am witnessing how God is changing my life and my heart since that day.  This image, since I have seen it, it has just become a spark of hope for me.  Only today I learned that its title is, Healing.

Vest's edges

These are the edges I cut from the vest. I loved how it looked so I took a picture of it.

I love the effect.

My design for the exhibit

I think, this is what I'll submit for the exhibit. If approved, this is what I'll execute.  I'll tweak it a bit based on what I have learned so far.

Mother's Day Celebration

Happy Mother's Day :)

City Fashion Paris book

I got this book from Book Sale for ONLY Php495. Still brand new.

Since I didn't get that Chanel book I found there kasi akala ko walang bibili, I am now always in lookout for quality fashion books.  I realized the rarity of such in BookSale.  I didn't think twice, I got it when I saw it.

A non-smoker man

I read this two years ago when I decided to quit smoking.  It's been over two years na rin pala since I quit. I smoked for seven years and one day, I made a decision to quit. I prayed for it. I chanced upon this article when I was googling ways and tips to curb the cravings but then I found this.

I knew I shared this article before but as I was checking it in my archive, it's not here. Oh well, here it is. It's well-written and persuasive.
