wanderment

F21 gray Maxi dress used as skirt, Topshop peach top, From my Mom gold belt 

Talks on mid life crisis striking has been a topic with my girlfriends for awhile now. We really have come to a point where we question if we are where we are suppose to be and doing what we have to do. 

But really I do believe...

Sometimes life becomes a battle.

 When factions of it turn too sweet be ready for others to fall apart. 

"wake me up, wake me up when all is done

I won't rise until the battle's won

My dignity's become undone

But I won't go

I can't do it on my own

if this ain't love then what is

I'm willing to take the risk"

kelly's Birthday!!!

peach cover up: thrifted, blouse:F21, Doily Shorts: River Island Gold Platforms: F-stop Purple necklace:Topshop

Kelly has always had the penchant for things Asian, I think ever since Mike and all their travels.

 It was just fitting for her to celebrate with us in Jang Gun a Korean Restaurant in Libis. 

Some Like it Hot: Kimchi Soup

A tradition: we forgot to order cake. So Mara and I ran to the nearest possible place (TOSH was next door) and ordered. Unfortunately their cakes are pre-sliced already so we ended up buying 4 slices. They were so nice and helpful they arranged it and all and put a tea light candle in the middle! =))

Chum-Churum
An alkaline drink made from potato that will equalize acid... blah blah Kelly had a long a$s explanation about it to make us all take a shot. 

KYAK!!!
she is master in making up things and tricked us all into believing we have to say KYAK after a shot! It was her Birthday after all so we all agreed!

See how her mouth is still open? She was saying KYAK over and over instead of CHEESE!

PEACE!!!

FLY AWAY

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
to fly

I was so happy when Reg asked me to go with her to Metrowear 100 (I was with her the whole week so I was lucky pick!). We came from a shoot in Makati and it was raining hard but we were determined! Especially since  RIA AQUINO did our make-up! =))

It was such a good break from working from the backstage. Truly a different kind of rush this time. It is truly something else to be able to witness great creations walk right in front of you. The detail that you are able to catch, the flow and the way it moves totally completes the experience. I apologize for lack of photos since halfway thru I put my cam down and just took it all in.
