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!

New Begginnings part II

I never thought I can leave my current job. Ive been with this company for three years now. Honestly I never thought I can see my self working elsewhere but here. But then i gained all my strength and filed my resignation. To tell you honestly i gathered my strength to resign because the sole reason why i stayed here also is about to resign. He filed his resignation first and then i said to my self why should I stay at this crap work where I felt there is no career growth? So i did. One factor also was that there was a position open in the company Operations Manager and i was up for it unfortunately i recently knew i was not chosen because they say i was emotional and practically gay. The nerve!! They knew how good i am but because of my sexuality i was not promoted. You see i currently hold a position of Accounts Manager and the only position will be Operations Manager so I said to my self there is no chance here and plus my Mcdreamy as I fondly called the love of my life was about to resign and we are not in really good terms. So i made a decision of moving on and leaving this work that i love behind. So i did. To tell you honestly its been one month since i get over the recent leaving. And then i garnered all my strength and look for a new job i say to my self that i need a nice working environment and i need new people in my life. The first company that i have visited is APAC. its a call center company and to my surprise i was hired the next day. It has been a blessing that ever since i tried to apply for a job i always got it the first time. Maybe it was plain luck or i was just really good. So enough about the bragging. Now I am enjoying my new work. really. Im really loving it. I feel very fabulous now. On my new job we have a circle its what i called the In CIRCLE and i am their queen hehehe.. I love the attention that i am getting here and the friends that i have gained. They say when someone closes a door they opened a window and there it is a big window infront of me...

New Beginnings

New beginnings are great experience.  Its about starting new things, gaining new experiences, and meeting new people.  For me its the latter.  I gained some new friends.  The new division in my work.  They consists of 10 people. Most of them are my friends.  Six to be exact.  To tell you honestly i love being with those people.  All of the things seems to be light, we had fun, they appreciate me a lot, they were there for me and most importantly they love me. Its not like some people dont love me, its about most of them adored me expressively. To tell you more about how we get close, we
started hanging out because many of them are smoking.  So they became my constant smoking buddies, and then some of them were assigned to me because i handled the new venture for our company which is Business Transcription.  Thats when we get a chance to know and to be with each other.  Actually it started badly, because you see, Our MD (managing director) and i got into a quarrel about me not getting all the jobs assigned to us (at that time we only have two BTs and each file was in a minimum of 60-minute dictation and the TAT [turn around time] was four hours, so imagine how 3 people would do that so i only get two files).  So thats where they came in.  They were assigned to my as Business Transcriptionist.  It was a memorable experience coz every morning when we finished up, we had breakfast and bond.  Some of them were my constant drinking buddies also.  I really had a great time when i'm with them.  Its a great feeling when  you have someone to had fun with.

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.

Victorian and Leather

Victorian and Leather.. This look was completely done by me.. Victorian style top, It is made out of Dark green and light green jersey.

Kurtified..

I call this look Kurtified.. This is very Kurt Hummel look from Glee.

I bought it online and was a very good find. It is a rare Timberland design with Silver splatter on the side. Here it is for a closer look: Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Victorian Obsession

I have been quite obsessed with Victorian-style nowadays. I have been creating Victorian-styled blouses and practicing my pleading skills for three looks now. For the top, I have added a Victorian-styled white neck area blouse to my simple brown cardigan. I also created the cross necklace, it is made out of clear Swarovski and pearl beads with the big cross. I have included it on the necklace not as a pendant but continued part of the necklace itself.
