LoveStyle: Move

Too much sitting can hurt your back.  The solution... stand, stretch, walk... move! :)

I just can't stop loving you by FREESTYLE

How much sleep I can get...

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

To be cheerfully obedient

Give me the ability to be a person who is cheerfully obedient. 

Teach me to take orders, so that someday,

I will know how to give them reasonably.

Big Change

When big change occurs in your life, it forces you to change direction.  Sometimes, the new path may not be easy but you can be absolutely certain that there is magnificence for you on the new path.  You can be certain that the new path contains things that you could not have experienced otherwise.

It transforms your life.  We see that the event directed us toward a life that we would not change for anything.

Don’t be afraid to start small

Work with what I have

Where God guide, he provides

Where God guides, he provides. What he calls you to do, he equips you to do. He doesn't need your strength and willpower, but he does need your commitment. He wants you to live an abundant life that includes a vibrant faith, a vibrant body, and a vibrant mind. But you must rely on Jesus. (Purpose Driven Life)

Silvana's Cheeserolls

I'm not fond of cheese, any cheese, but these cheeserolls are yummy!  It melts in your mouth. :D

Mrs. O: The Face of fashion Democracy

Here's another good find from Book Sale. 

After looking at each page, suliiiit ang Php35 ko.

My second book about her, I like this one better because it's about fashion more.

Nice.  It has sketches inside.

Those arms!

I don't know, something about her makes me feel empowered as a woman.

Is this draping?

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm feeling luckier about the content.

Coooool, facts about designers.

Brooch.

Loving her style

:D

More brooch

Jason Wu!

It has illustrations too :)

Albert Andrada's creations at Slim's

One lucky day for every Slim's student.  

We had a chance to see Mr. Albert Andrada's creations.  Currently displayed at school for a limited time.  One of which was worn by Paris Hilton at the Grammy's.

Right now, I am feeling so inspired.

Train

To dream that you are on a train symbolizes your life's journey. It suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed in the right direction. Alternatively, the dream means that you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will work out in the end. (source: dreammoods.com)

Waiting season

To my surprise, I out of the blue uttered convincingly, "waiting season yan," to a friend when she was sharing a light frustration to me.  So I think I get what it means now. Although, for her waiting season should only last for a year to a couple of years (for anything).  My thought at that time, can we really know?

Past-Present-Future

Too much past guilt regret resentment grievances sadness bitterness

Being present lightness joy freedom

Too much future uneasiness anxiety tension stress worry fear

LoveStyle: Namaste

LoveStyle: Treasure your friends

Taken in 2010.  I miss them.

Be gentle and patient

When you least expect it, something great will come along – something better than you ever planned for.  Mother nature opens up millions of flowers everyday without forcing the buds.  Let this be a reminder not to force anything but to simply give beautiful things enough love and an opportunity to grow naturally.

Mini Book Collection

Here's my growing number of fashion and children's books, catalogs, and magazines. :)

I have to say, my friends from Slim's have inspired me to invest on these.

Ironically, in this age of technology, I refuse to rely on online materials.  I look for tangible books.  Iba parin.

A mix of new and used books! :D

By God’s grace, God will make your life, a beautiful masterpiece.

The Anatomy of Fashion

When you look to the past (history), you start to see the standards of excellence, the good taste in the way things were done, put together, formed. *Vivienne Westwood

This is the best book find so far from Book Sale.  I had been seeing this in National Bookstore but it's too expensive and sealed.  

When I saw one in Book Sale I knew I wanted it.  I pushed my luck for another week.  I got really interested the following week learning that the real price in National is Php4855.

I got it for Php850!  It's a steal! :)

I am starting to gain interest in fashion history recently.  So, this is a good start.

This is next after I finish Knit Couture. 

At Slim's

Proverbs 4:20-22

Give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.  Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

Trust your instinct

Trust your instinct even if you don’t know why you don’t trust someone.  Limit your contact with him/ her.  Be polite, though.

Not everything in life can be known

What is countenance?

It is...

Vibe, aura, expression from mental poise, a beautiful and elegant expressions.

In a quote, it is simply this:

*You can go out and hate everybody, hate your age and hate all the things you don’t have but it will show: you have the face you deserve. -Ines de la Fressange

True enough, it will show/ - positive or negative.
