Shizophonic

It's been a while since i posted a look here as i have busy with lots of stuff and and I wanna start again and return with a BANG. Schizophonic - From root word schizo (split) and phone (voice/sound). I have entitled it schizophonic because I have performed on our x-mas party using my two voices. My natural male voice and my falsetto (female voice). I have attempted to have a duet with myself and had the courage to be Mariah Carey and Boys II Men. Aside from fashion, my second passion is singing. I am a frustrated singer. If you want to view the full video just click this link: youtube.com/watch?v=_Gvu7FPj-oY Enough about the sound. Let's talk about fashion. I have created this two-piece outfit or shall i say four-piece using my old clothes. Well to start of, my male outfit was made from my old black pants, gray and white and black checkered vest. For the female look, i have created this silver semi see-through long sleeves and bedazzled with sequins to somewhat cover the breast area and ribbons. I have created a mini layered black skirt and gray fur. Black stilettos and black boots for my shoes. Hope you guys liked it!

Welcome Back...

It’s been a while since I wrote here on blogger. I kind of lost my account and forgot my password, go figure. So what happened to me in the past few months of hibernation? Well for starters, I’m in a state where my career is taking off. The past months have been very good to me. I am finally on my way in establishing my first business venture, a computer cafe. I bought a 112 sq. m 2-unit commercial condo at Marquinton. It was located in Marikina just beside Blue Wave Mall. At first I was planning to establish a coffee shop but I can’t afford it. So I ventured into a computer shop with snacks on the side. I am initially putting in 10 pieces of computers and planning on serving coffee, pastries, cakes and snacks. I was practicing my baking skills and picked out the flavours of the coffee that I will be serving. I wanted it to add my personal touch. All pastries and cakes are my own recipes and the coffee flavours were specially brewed and came from Baguio. I also got myself a new phone. I am currently using N91 which I totally adore. I was recently promoted from work. I am now an Accounts Manager. I handle a total of 3 accounts. So I guess my career is off to a pretty good start this year.
Well, about love, still in love with same guy of course. Actually it’s been a long time. We had a long history. We were together last Christmas. He spent the holidays at my place, and then on New Year’s Eve we dine out. Then there goes the usual dates.  The most recent one was at Taco Bell, Food Court in Gateway and played at Timezone.
Unfortunately something happened to the point where in it totally shook the core of our relationship.  I believe it’s because one of our close friend and him got in to a fight, and then he slowly started to slip away.  He found his own circle of friends to the point that I felt I was being pushed away. It’s as if I didn’t exist anymore. I felt like my whole world fell apart. He was suddenly gone. I felt so broken. I got mad at him, as in totally pissed off. I didn’t talk to him for like three whole months. Whenever he tries to talk to me, I am always being a snob.  I reached a point where I felt like resigning from work, I was not happy anymore. I felt so alone.
One time, he did something so sweet that makes my heart melt. He gave me Solo B at Kenny Rogers with my favorite side dishes, potato and cheese with garlic and corn and mushroom.  At that time I was watching Grey’s Anatomy. I was at the scene where Meredith and Derek fought and Meredith's mother was admitted to the hospital and the news of her mother having Alzheimer’s broke out. It was the time wherein Meredith was so broken, she ran off outside the hospital and cried. Derek saw her and followed. She said to him, “I am exhausted, my work, my mother and especially you. I was exhausted of hating you. I don’t want to do that anymore and he kissed him.” That made me realize how exhausted I am of hating him. So I said the same lines with a little twist. I said to him "I am so exhausted, exhausted of my job, overtime for 16 hours, but the most exhausting part is hating you.  I don’t want to do it anymore.  I am sorry.”
He said to me, he too was hurt. It’s just that he didn’t let it get to him, and then we made up. We even got our first date after 4 months. We ate at BM's and had dinner. We had a very nice conversation, tried to catch up, and that was the most thrilling part. I really missed him, and now we are good, I might say back to normal. I learn not to have too many expectations, deep inside of me I still love him, but I only wanted for us to stay good friends and then just come what may, I think its way better.
And now I couldn’t help but wonder, despite all the things that has been said and done, how do we manage to forgive and forget?  Is it too blinding if you love the person so much?
Till next post.

XOXO

Green Rose..



I named it Green Rose as I am wearing my most fave sweater of all time. I bought it from HK. Actually I saw a famous filipina model/tv star wearing the identical sweater in one of her print ads. My pants were a regular skinny jeans I just added flare into it by adding Rose applique.

Shoes of course were my creation. Alligator skin leather. here is a closer look:

Argyle Meets Leopard

Jaded

Jaded..


I named this look jaded not because i feel jaded but because most of my colors are in the shades of green. I am wearing a tee that said Kill Hip Hop. I have nothing against hip hop, don't get me wrong, I just find it humorous.

I bought the jacket from OshKosh Bgosh. When I first saw this, my eyes were immediately drawn to it due to the vibrant colors it consists. The cut of this is short more of a bolero-type which I also love.

My pants were from Thailand. I just love the tiny detailing of the stitches in the front and back. The color was out of this world too.

All About Denim

Classic Vintage

Silk and Star

Silk and Star.. I called this silk and star for two obvious reasons. Silk because i have created a raincoat out of silk fabric. It has been raining for the past weeks and I was inspired to create a raincoat-inspired outerwear but made it more current and fashion forward. I have put a string in the waist area and neck so it can be tightened up. Star because of the watch i bought for a cheap price. I just find this watch super cute. Here is a picture for a close up look: Image and video hosting by TinyPic For my accessories. i have a created a ring from my old necklace. I have used the square pendant from my old necklace to create a ring, charm bracelet using different stones. My necklaces were a vintage silver choker and a rosary of music. Here is a close-up look: Image and video hosting by TinyPic For my shoes, I bought it from MdB. It is made out of denim which i love. I am trying to add this style on my collection of shoes that i am making. I am still studying how to create a pattern of this without me tearing this apart. This will be coming soon! Here is a close up look: Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Beigeful

Beigeful. I just invented a word for this look(lol). The name I concocted for this is pretty self-explanatory. All the colors in this look are in the family of beige and neutrals.
For the top it is a regular beige polo shirt from Lacoste. I had this way back when I was on college. It just proves that i have lost a lot of weight. ^_^ I bought the jacket from HK. A faux leather jacket with D&G logo. I love the zipper detailing on the front and the color is a dark shade of gray. For close up look: Image and video hosting by TinyPic My accessories are featured on the picture as well. An oriental styled neck piece which I bought for just a reasonable price. For my watch, it is another piece I bought from HK. They have great formal watch collection for a cheap price. For my pants this is the remainder of the fabric i used for my Burberry Madness look in LB. I made pants out of it. The fit is very fitted however this is the type of fabric where it is stretch and at the same time very breathable. Hope you like it. Please hype my looks to in Lookbook.
