Lookbook Post: der zwölfte - Karl's Birthday & Papa's Despedida

Whenever my dad comes home for vacation, he always makes sure to spend as much time with us as he does with his other friends. And whenever he comes home, it's barely just for a couple of days.

This year, we had two celebration days for my brother's birthday. One was in Nasugbu, Batangas where we also celebrated my Tita's birthday together with Karl's last March 17th, and we had dinner and a lot of strolling around the mall last March 19th.

Going around malls, I try to make it to a point that I wear very comfortable items like leggings, shorts, skirts, and often stay away from jeans even though I often commute. And most people who are close to me would know that I do not like wearing jeans because I feel constricted. So, last Tuesday, I decided to wear my ever trusted shorts which I bought in Forever 21 some two years ago (WOW, IT HAS BEEN THAT LONG SINCE).

Hey, I got tanned.

Lookbook post: der elfte--A day at the beach

The weather forecasts have finally reported that the temperatures are rising, and that summer has finally hit the Philippines. It's official!

On Location - - VERY ANTMish right? It's along Nasugbu, Batangas

We never really had the time to go to the beach back when I was still in the University. I have never even been to the beach with any of my friends. We've had plans, but none ever pushed through. So, this time, I asked my parents to go to the beach instead of a resort which we have been doing since. But this won't be the first time that I've been to the beach with the family (See post here & here), I was in Pagudpud with my sister last February (See the photo post here), to Puerto Galera and Zambales when I was about 6/7. Back then I was too young to really care about how I'll look or dress. 

feeling like a tumblr girl.

I can try, right?

Before doing this kalandian, my sister and I bought these fancy candies from SM Hypermart. I am surprised that they are still made by Nelson Candies. My mom tells me that one of the owners of the candy factory's offspring (offspring, talaga?) was once her student in Gregrorio Araneta University Foundation (now La Salle-Gregorio Araneta University Foundation)
