Future Solo Traveler

I've been thinking about traveling solo for quite sometime now. I just didn't have the courage (and the money) to do so. There's a lot of things to be considered when traveling by yourself and I don't think I'm that adventurous enough for doing such thing. 

But then reading these books convinced me to just pack my bags and fly to wherever my passport take me. :) Seriously though, these books will show your where the safest place for women to travel alone. It also tells you what activities you can do, where the good restaurants are, what things to bring, if people are friendly or snobby, recommended books to read for culture purposes, etc. It's the perfect book for travelling!

So it got me thinking, I really really need to plan a vacation soon. So here's my first trip plan:

WHERE: Costa Rica

WHEN: Aug. 9-12, 2012

BUDGET: Atleast $1300

Why I picked Costa Rica? Because I want to try their canyoning tour. It looks so cool and amazing in the picture. So now I gotta start saving money!

My happy place

It takes some time to recover from the injury of sadness. But I realized that the only weapon against the depressing feeling is another emotion, happiness. Simply remember all the good times. It helped me get through the assault of despair and hopelessness. These happy thoughts gave my strength back.

One happy thought and it made me smile. It’s simple but it can liven up what was once disappointing. Little by little I seek happiness to the better days. The more I smile and laugh, the more I remember those fun moments that I’ve spent with everybody. One simple thought can lighten the huge baggage we’re carrying.

This photo was taken at Enchanted Kingdom in the Philippines last January. It was the first time that I went there, and gosh, was I very excited! That place is full of children running around being all hyper. I just wish I went there sooner. I could have been a regular customer. ;)

But this I know for sure. I will go back there again when I visit the Philippines.

Jayesslee-ing

It all started with youtube. I was browsing one day when I saw them and thought their outfits look cute. And when I actually played the video, Gosh I was inlove. From that, my inclination for Jayesslee's music began. I've been listening non stop, listening like their songs are the only songs I have.

I've downloaded a few of their covers and it was simply a comforting experience. Their voices are overwhelmingly smooth and extraordinary.

Go check them out on youtube and tell me what you think. <3

Psycho 101

I think I'm going mad. Literally! My brain cells has lost its track and I feel like I'm about to have a sort of sanity breakdown. My mood swings needs a few adjustments and altering. I can go from laughing my ass off to a drowning depression in like a few seconds. Am I going crazy? Why do I feel this way?

I definitely need a psychologist right now!

Office Girl

Yes, this is a "what I wore today" post. Yes, I'm turning into a fashion blogger. And yes, I'm a wannabe "it" girl. Please don't judge. :P

Blazer & necklace from Forever21 | Pants from Zara | Shoes from Asos | Bag from wholesale-dress.net | watch from Casio

I have been trying to change my wardrobe from trendy/super casual/inappropriate for work to corporate/decent/more comfortable clothes. My aunt keeps on telling me to stop shopping at Forever 21 cus it's too trendy and too "disposable" but then again, who can resist those crop tops with cute prints and cool statements, and those ripped, acid washed jeans that can make you look so bad ass. Don't forget also those floral flats which you can wear with colored pants or shorts and even skirts. Forever 21 has the cheapest clothes and the only store that I can actually afford right now. Of course I want to shop cheap clothes but still look good, right? Being poor doesn't mean you have to look poor too. (OMG! I'm such a social climber! *shakes head*)

To disclaim what I said in the beginning of this post, I am NOT trying to be a fashion blogger. I can't, since I still repeat my outfits once in a while, I have no sense of style and don't plan my outfit for the day. I only wear high heels in the morning and I always have flats waiting for me at work. Comfort is still what's important to me. I wake up in the morning, look for the comfiest and easiest to wear clothes (because I'm late), put on my worn out black flats (they are the comfiest!), then go to work. That's my routine.

So yeah, this is my very trying hard "what I wore today" post. It's not an outfit that can get thousands of hypes on Lookbook, or a post that can give me hundreds of followers, but it can be a start, right? :)

TTFN! <3
