Hey! How are you guys? I bet some of you are still having summer hangover! Hehe. The month of June was here! Oh wait… Yes it’s already June! and we’re towards finishing the first half of the year 2014. Wow! That was quite fast! Summer season has just ended but in my own case I wasn’t able to enjoy it because I’ve had no chance to travel and to have summer getaway even at least to the nearby beaches & resorts. I’m such a summer couch potato! Haa! Actually, My friends and I have planned a trip to Negros Occidental on this 3rd week of the month but we received a bad news just yesterday about the passing away of the father of one of our travel buddy. It’s a bit frustrating but we have no choice but to cancel our trip as a sign of respect and sympathy. Well, surely we can push it through some other time.

So as promised, I am going to share to you my happy list and happy thoughts that I look forward for this month of June… 

• Let’s welcome June with arms wide open! I am expecting that hot thirsty days will soon be replaced by cool feels. Well, hello rainy season! We can finally sleep at night without sweating too much! lol. But let’s just hope and pray that there’s no destructive typhoons will ever come.

• I’m about to read Stephanie Kate Strohm’s book entitled “Confederates Don’t Wear Couture”. My sister bought this on a huge book sale when they went to Cebu last time. I find this interesting because It’s not only about love but it is also about fashion and with a touch of history. Let us see if it’s really worth reading as I go along with the pages.

• Maleficent and The Fault In Our Stars! Two movies I’m planning to watch this month. I’ve already decided to watch Maleficent tomorrow together with my friend Bi! And TFIOS will be showing on on the 6th so maybe I have to watch it later this month. I’m so excited!

• Lipsticks! I am sure to enjoy these 3 shades of lipsticks I got on sale from Avon. It makes me look girly and fierce! Haha. It isn’t hard to pick color that would compliment on my daily outfits! <3

• And finally! I’m already enrolled at Score High Review Center for my IELTS academic review and grammar class. Nyay! I’m not yet sure when to take the exam but as of the moment I have to focus on my review. Wish me luck and please pray for my success guys. Hehehe

That’s it for now! I’m wishing everyone a happy and productive days of June ahead! xoxo

Today I am launching my newest monthly blog segment which is entitled “My Happy Catalogue (Month & Year). I’ll be posting this every month which contains everything I am happily grinning about for a certain month. It maybe clothes & cosmetics I love, books I’m currently reading, movies or TV series I’ll be watching, newly discovered places to hang out, upcoming plans for the month, and more..wherein it aims to share & radiate happy mood to my followers and readers! :)

So let me begin with my Happy Catalogue for the month of May 2014..

Happy Grabs 

• ZARA Top

I’m loving this chic and comfy top from Zara. Bought this last week at a very reasonable price. I like the fabric and fitness. A good-to-go top for any random #ootd that can be paired with either skirt, shorts, or jeans!

• Floral Circle Skirt

Because I’m into dresses and skirts lately. This is one of my favorite! The classic floral details brings out a gorgeous look. Perfect for summer! It’s original price is 350php yet I bought it only at 250php. Such a good steal!

• Fragrance Spray

I’m enjoying this Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple Fragrance Mist which gives me a long lasting mild-sweet-wintery scent all day long. Just good for current hot stinky weather. This is given to me as a pasalubong by my cousin who recently went home from the States. 

• Cheeky Glow Blusher

Another product from Maybelline New York that I’m now using is this Blush Studio Cheeky Glow in Wooden Rose. I love how it gives me a natural rosy cheeks everyday at work.

• May 2014 Candy Magazine Issue

Hurray for Taylor Swift on the cover!!! <3 This month’s issue was full of awesomeness! With free Candy Quote of the Day book! You will surely get inspired! Grab a copy now candy girls! :D

Happy Fan-Girling

Happy Viewing

• My Love from the Star

I’m currently addicted into watching this Korean novela which is aired in GMA 7 at 6pm every weekdays. This is a modern fictional romantic comedy series. I like the twists of the story because it’s quite unique and unpredictable. I love the chemistry of Kim Soo-hyun as Matteo Do and Jun Ji-hyun as Steffi Cheon. They look so perfect together!

So that’s all for now! Watch out for My Happy Catalogue next month! xoxo :)

This is a mandatory post by a proud sister!. lol *wink *wink

So yesterday, April 12, 2014 was my brother Joe’s college graduation at the University of San Agustin.

Oh it feels so good to be back in my beloved Alma Mater! I’m a little bit envy because their graduation was at the football field unlike ours two years ago that was held only at the gym.

The graduates on the wide screen.

Their commencement speaker was Mr. Henry O. Chusuey, our fellow Augustinian alumna.

I was able to capture my brother marching on stage and took his diploma only on the screen though they have an official photographer so we can’t just easily come closer to the stage to take pictures.

The graduate and the proud parents. :)

Meet my one and only brother, the campus hearthrob! When I took this photo I ask him, “Hey! Why are you not smiling?”, he answered, “Because I’m sleepy!”. Haha! Whatever bro! Supladooooo everrrrrr! ;)

This photo was taken during their baccalaureate dinner at Hotel del Rio last April 11. Credits to Mr. Thongenn Lanz Patiam

And here’s his award, Best thesis for BS Foreign Service! 

Dear Brother, I know that we had a mini misunderstanding these past few months but despite of it I’m sincerely congratulating you for a job well done on your studies. I know this is awkward but I want you to know that I’m proud of you! Hahaha! I am always here to support you to whatever career you choose. I wish you all the best as you enter the REAL LIFE! God bless and congratulations! Love you! Hahahahahaha. yaaaaayy!!!!
