AtFest 2014

Credits: Ateneo Fiesta FB page

It's one of my favourite times of the year as an Atenean. It's that time of the year when I get to distress from all my academics and chill. But more than that, it's that time of the year when I get to appreciate the real value of being an Atenean--that behind everyone's festive mood, lies a strong sense of comradeship within the community and effort to become men and women for others. 

I personally liked this year's concept. It's great how peace and culture was inculcated in the festival. Plus, the event had so many sponsors! I wasn't that hyper this year, though. So I'm going to post my so-called "highlights" of Atfest 2014. 

Atfest Frame! 

Day 1 and 2 were so chill. I went to school because our attendance was checked. I also looked around, explored the booths and watched different sport events. Supported high school teams together with my friends, of course!

FOURever Babes, reunited! Creds, Debra.

HS booth won 2nd place! Congrats, friends. 

Day 3 and 4 were my favourite, because I finally had something serious to do. I represented HS Falcons in this year's Ateneo Fietsta Debate Championships together with my ADC family. I partnered up with Fiona. We reached the semis, yay! It was a proud moment when the team of John and Hans was announced as the tournament's champion. Plus, four of us were in the top 10 best speakers. High school kids were definitely slaying! (HAHAHA okay, mayabang na ba. Sorry.) Still so, so proud! This, by the way, is probably my last debate tournament. I don't know, I don't think I'm ready to let go of debating just yet.

Two years ago, we made a pact to team up for Atfest Debates again. And, it happened!

After the breaks of Day 3, we headed right away to the HS campus for the High School Night (HS BEST 2014). That event was also very fun! It was all about dancing and screaming in colour! Expectations were met for my last High School night. 

Taken by my supportive mother. LOL.

So, I felt like it's been so long since I last posted a detailed outfit post. My camera's memory card was messed up, so everything was taken using a phone. Sorry for the quality, but here you go!

Yes, this is a selfie. Hush!

They said we were encouraged to wear something colourful. Don't get me wrong, but I didn't have time to look for a colourful dress so I decided to wear this simple, conservative one (so as to follow dress code). I got the laced dress from Cara Delevigne x Penshoppe for a very affordable price. The colourful gemed belt was from Cotton On. The pink emblem on its middle matched my pink Barbie shoes from Shubizz. That's pretty it. I didn't have time to accessorize too much because I changed in our high school comfort rooms. I wasn't THAT underdressed, was I? 

Selfie again!

For my look readers, I'm sorry I don't have anything for you because I didn't apply anything. I know, I looked so plain. I didn't even do anything with my hair. I just let it down to remove my game-on-debater-face. HA-HA! I'll make it up to you guys, next time.

Day 5 was the torch parade and alumni day. It was fun, too. But I went home early because I was surprisingly not in the mood... or I really just wanted to sleep. 

Fun day with Faber and other batch mates!

Day 6 and 7 are my chill days. I won't go to school because I need time to catch up with school requirements. But, congrats to the champions! 

I feel like it's fun and meaningful to be part of AdZU community. Now, I'm talking about my college plans. The confusion is real, guys.

Anyway, one week before exams. This is going to be a tough one. But anyway, so many plans for December. Roughly 3 months before March and hell, everyone knows what that means. 

Till the next post! Sorry for my messy layout by the way. :(

Vampire Colors

I love vampires. The addiction partly started with Twilight. I loved the character of Ashley Greene as Alice. Her fashion sense rocked! Then came The Vampire Knight which was introduced to me by two of my anime-addict friends. I was crazy about it, superb. There was this cosplaying event in our school and I was so determined to dress up as Yuuki. But who was I kidding?! Her skirt was way too short! I think that's the thing about anime characters. The style they follow is the revealing kind of wardrobe. It was a tween dream of mine to be a cosplayer. Problem is, I am conservative. And even if I'm not, I still don't make the cut!

So, my outfit post for today is called Vampire At Work.

This is actually one of the simplest style that I made. I love how vampire colors come handy every time. This top was originally my eldest sister's but it's mine now. It's old but the details are so versatile. 

This skater skirt is from Forever 21. Its length is okay that's why we bought it. Plus, the white stripes made the skirt stylish since it's not plain anymore. The shoes are so cheap! If you are an SM Store shopper, you probobly stopped by those affordable ladies' shoes. This pair is from Soulmate. They come in different colors, by the way.

This bag is from Lacoste. It's our gift for our Mom on mothers' day a few years back. It is sophisticated  that it matches every look. 

What do you think of my look? Is it vampire enough? Please let me know!

Pink Chic

If you ask my close friends about my favorite things, they will all answer you simply: anything pink.

So in today's blogpost, I am featuring my pink mix-and-match. Because I have a girly style, I truly believe that you can never go wrong with pink. You can pair it up with anything! Well, except those really bright colors of course. It complements with yellow and green, depending on the shade that you prefer. 

Occasionally, I wear pink on pink. That is because I own a lot of pink stuff. It's okay if you don't. You can still achieve that pink chic look even with a small clip or sleek belt! By the way, I really advise white or black to be worn with pink.

Plain Pink Dress: Folded & Hung

Belt: Kashieca

Pink Oxford Shoes

Pink Heart Earrings

If you think you are not girly enough to wear pink, then you are wrong. Pink is definitely NOT just for girly girls! Even men wear them, why can't you? Just try it out and you'll find yourself one day, loving it. Have fun and drench your style in pink! <3

XOXO,

Classy Teen Find

I always wanted to be featured on a magazine, tv or website. But I never got the chance. The most recent one is my entry for this year's SM GTW Stylebook which I got so excited about.

I was dismayed by the email from the agency, telling me that my entry was deemed invalid because I am not 16-25 years old. It is sad but I can't do anything. I even tried to email the agency but I didn't get a response within 48 hours. The last batch of entries for the promo were released a few hours ago at SM GTW facebook page. I wish all these girls good luck, and even though most of them won't win they should highly feel lucky because their entries were considered.

So that my photo (which was taken by Jeniss Muarip) won't go to waste, I decided to upload it here. Also, instead of blogging about my disappointments I would like to express how much I support SM Girls Teens Wear through the years! 

I love SM GTW. The clothes available there are not just affordable but also classy. The pieces can compete with top brands in and outside the country! There is also unlimited styles--girly, chic, sport, glamour and a lot more! I can't resist going to the Department Store without strolling arround this section and buy something. With countless fab and trendy finds, no wonder why I am ambitiously interested to pursue my dream of becoming their products' model or brand ambassador. 

The one I'm wearing in this collaged photo is a sweet piece by Candie's. I think it is so sulit in the sense that it can be worn on the mall, the beach and even at home! The pastel rosy pink color greatly adds the youthful effect, which every SM GTW piece tries to achieve. Its fit and its length is just right, which makes this pretty printed look PERFECT!

If you haven't tried any of their products, then you are probably missing something in your teen years! So go to any of the SM Store and try out SM GTW now! You can also like their Facebook page or visit their website (http://www.sm-gtw.com).

To the SM GTW Stylebook 2013 organizers, I wish your promo a grand success!
