Escaping From The World Where They Bake Beautiful Girls

I'm not doing good with this blogging business. So many things get in the way of it. My job for one thing and then the million other hobbies I have...along with myriads of other excuses. Heh. I blog when I feel like it. Period. March was a sad month, didn't feel like doing anything that would make me feel happy. The beginning of 2012 brought me a lot of sad news. A friend at work is worried that I might be depressed. I'm not. I'm just naturally grieving and more introspective I guess. I'm emotionally tired from sadness but no, it's not crippling me. I know I am ok ^_^ I don't think she is convinced but that's her job as a friend to look out for me and it's much appreciated. On a lighter note, I persuaded myself to teach myself Japanese. Well, half. I took some online lessons and I also did a lot of self study. I taught myself to read katakana. II think I'm doing good because あたしわにほんごがよむだ!

It's a tad bit nipply so I'm wearing a cardi. It is STILL arctic in my office.

Shoes to perfectly match my cardi and these charming socks from Forever 21 are a perfect fit for my elfin feet. I don't have to fold them over! I got my peacock necklace form Cebu for $1.00.

That's it for now... till next time, holly up!

  1. HIIII!!!! I missed you so so so much! I'm sorry that March was not a really good month for you, but you know what? In Greece we say that every burden is for good, and anyways, whatever doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger, right? And I'm sure you're a very strong person :)
    I really adore this hair color. It makes you look...I don't know...even more stunning! And the necklace is a cutie. And actually everything is super adorable! You're a real beauty and I mean it <3 Many many virtual hugs and kisses and I hope this month will kick ass! Take care xx

  2. All I can suggest is to just make the most of each day. You are still a beautiful lady with an amazing heart and an even more amazing personality. If it makes you feel any better... knowing you're out there and still blogging makes me happy each day. Even in some of my fashion-themed posts, I've linked to "My Own Private Xanadu" at times.

    Now on to this post. Nice casual outfit you put together. The blue color is lovely for those sandals and this cardigan. Your hair and face remain as lovely as ever. Lovely necklace as well.

    Sorry to steal your lines, but "frock on!" :)

  5. Thank youuuu Demy!!! I miss you too! You always make me smile and that's a feat because I don't smile a whole lot. I'm happy it just doesnt show on my face. Haha! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Day by day and it gets better. Oh yes, my hair, since I haven't been blogging a whole lot, this is actually the third time I've dyed it. Thank you so much for the nice words. I want to believe you!

    Hi John, thank you so much for your sweet words. Thank you for putting my bog out there. I basically just blog for myself but it's really really nice that people read and leave comments ^_^ I'm not much of a commenter on other people's blogs :-( I need to remedy that.

    Hi Chy! Thank you! I know. But I'll be back soon so hang on to my purse! hehe. I was sick for an entire week so my itinerary got effed up. I'm so jealous that The Camerawalls will be in Cebu and I'm 8,000 miles away! I talk to Clem on almost a dail basis, I've stopped being a fangirl since I became his friend. Haha..I sorta demystified him. Still, I would really really have loved to be there and see him. I hope you guys have fun. Take lots of photos and make sure you tell him hello and tell him we're friends.

  7. Looking beautiful as always dear! I know times can be hard, and sadness is never an easy thing to get over, but at least here you know that many of your friends are here for you and hope that you feel better soon too. It's good to have those sad days, it reminds us that we are human, and life does have it's ups and downs. many dolly hugs, Gigi

    PS I love your look in this post too!!
