Beautiful melancholy

Begging the question: would you be crying because you are so glad to be yourself or because you wish you weren't? 

...


Keep believing in yourself

JM gave me this before he left OSRP.  I brought it home to display it. :)

I've got (MNG) mail

Have been receiving MNG's lookbook for years. Makes me joyful each time.


Mantra

Soar.

I got it from L'Indochine

The cat is found!

My prayer got answered.  We were so worried.  May nangunguha raw kasi ng mga pusa tapos dinadala sa Bulacan.  Finally, Mingming went home!


Blog Refresh

Refreshing the look of my blog.  Trying to make it look simpler and more visually engaging.

God hears a yearning heart

God hears a yearning heart.  God sends me an angel today through a friend.  Maybe because He knows, I am too proud to admit, I need help, too.
"May He continue restrengthening you. He hears you. He will allow You to submit to Him, and just be healed.  I can see you in His presence right now, as in with a vivid light covering you."

"...Everybody is talking about cutting down expenses and then we literally started cutting old ball gowns and then with the remnants of the ballgowns, we make new garments." - Viktor & Rolf (Spring Summer 2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_AxzhHluqQ

How smart, MODERN, and unique these are!

LoveStyle: Good to see you (again)

Same here, it was good to see you.

God hears a yearning heart. What does it mean?

just smile at that dumbass...

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, count to ten, take a deep breath, remind yourself that you wouldn't look good in prison stripes and just smile at that dumbass and walk away.

LoveStyle: Keep going

Keep going, you'll get there.

A day will come I will get all the Yes's I am praying and hoping for.  Stopping now is the worst thing I could do.

John Galliano

His works are potent.  The more you look at them, the more beautiful they become... and never leave you.





Princess Lea, The Life Story of Lea Salonga

I love children's book.  They are cute and their cuteness gives me pure joy. I like LOVE cute. Ohhh the little girl in me.

Here's a new addition, Princess Lea.  It's only Php125 at National Bookstore.  It is, I think, a beautiful gift for little girls.  It teaches them to dream and realize it! 




Textile Art

The book says it all.  Thank goodness for Book Sale!

It's not everyday I would score a book like this.




Da Vinci Code

Last week, I found my Da Vinci Code!  I honestly did not like it, I remember I bought it for the illustrations.  I was trying to give it away and no one seemed to want it.  I kept it at our stock room for yeeeeeeeears and I couldn't remember exactly where I put it.  Had I given it away?  I wasn't sure.  I looked for it and YES! I found it wrapped in a plastic.  So I cared for it after all.

The illustrations are amaaaazing. It is useful to me now.  I can definitely use this as a reference.






One needs to be alone... to recharge

I hope to find a book about her, too. :)

In Vogue: The Editors Eye (2012)

Boss Women - Anna Wintour

The South Bank Show John Galliano Documentary 1996 [HD]

Never would I forget the gold dress I saw in a Dior's window when I was young.  I had not seen anything like that before.  I fell in love with it.  It was like a melting gold.  It changed the way I thought of constructing clothes.  Pwede pala yun.  Paano yun?  I was amazed.  It was magical.  Galliano was the designer at that time for Dior.

Then I watched this, I've seen here the magic of that dress.  The second skin effect, the liquid effect was from the bias technique, it's Galliano.  

Suddenly, I remember why I love fashion.  It's magic.  Galliano creates magic.

I am inspired to create magic, too.

Liz, Jud and I

Liz is in Dubai. Jude is in Singapore. And, I am here, And thank goodness for technology, we have managed to keep in touch.

I miss them... a lot.

Still my favorite photo of us. Photo taken in 2010
