For a Sunny Day

The weather hasn't been very pleasant lately.. It's been raining nonstop for the past two weeks, and now there's a typhoon. I bought this swim suit from Topshop with a fifty percent discount. I couldn't resist buying it, it's so cute and summer-y. Hopefully the weather will clear up soon, and I'll be able to swim with my new suit!

Last Summer in Europe,

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since my vacation to Europe last summer, and here are a few snippets of the trip. My family and I went around the Czech Republic, visiting places like Karlovy Vary where we stayed at the Grand Hotel Pupp (pronounced poop!), Cesky Krumlov (I refer to it as Shrek town because it's so medieval-esque), and Prague (the capital). Beautiful country --- the third photo looks more like a postcard, doesn't it? It was taken in Karlovy Vary! After a week, we crossed the border to Hungary where I found out that Budapest is actually divided by a river into two areas  : Buda and Pest. Amazing! We also took a day trip to Austria where most of our time was spent shopping and eating --- as we do in pretty much every vacation. Did you know that the European diet is very rich in vitamin B? Lots of BEER or any other alcoholic beverage for that matter. And I found out that I don't get red after drinking alcohol, so that's good.. Although I hardly ever drink, ha ha. Plus, we met this golden, headless street performer guy that started doing the peace sign at us, so we went over to him to have a photo taken! So funny.

The Czech Republic could very well compete for the prestigious honor of being my favorite country; I loved every place we visited, I loved the Becherovka, I loved the cold weather, I loved the protein-rich food, I loved the vast, yellow acres filled with canola. In a few days, however, I will be on my way to my absolute favorite place on Earth: Japan. Goodbye life savings and figure, LOL. I'm so excited!

A Beautiful Day for a Picnic.

Gosh, all these girls look like dolls! I feel pulling of these looks is a bit hard to pull off, or it is at least in my case. Sigh . . . Ha ha ha! There are so many trends in this collection: the florals, the floppy hats, lace and what-not. If I were to purchase things from Japan, I guess now would be a good time since the Yen is weaker, right? Oh, thinking of Japan depresses me.

. . . 

Brb, going to my ditch.

These Little Wonders

I'm practically halfway through my summer vacation, and I'm quite apprehensive about it all. This year is going to be a big one for me. I'll be celebrating my 18th birthday with a formal debut and starting my first year of college. Gosh, there is so much to do but I'm way too lazy to even get off the bed.. I've got to enlist, enroll, plan and bla bla bla. Thinking is making me sleepy. 

Easy-Breezy Summer Outfits

I happened to stumble upon ASOS earlier, an online store that sells both women and men's apparel, and fell in love with many of their items. These are the types of outfits I'd enjoy wearing during the summer. And yes, most of these outfits do show a girl wearing short shorts, much shorter than I'd feel comfortable with, but that's not the essence of this collection of outfits.

Summer in the Philippines is very much like being in a desert. Okay, that's a hyperbole, but not too exaggerated in my opinion. Though it is not extremely humid, there are days when the sun just shines down too brightly, and I feel like I am getting skin cancer whilst I walk outside. No wonder I'm getting fatter, anyway.. These outfits from ASOS do look quite spring-ish, yes? I think the season of spring was when floral prints and cream/pastel/nude colors were in season, but I don't think there is a reason not to be able to wear these spring-y outfits during the summer.

DID YOU KNOW THAT BLACK IS A COLOR THAT ABSORBS MORE HEAT THAN ANY OTHER COLOR? Did you also know the 'hot' colors (red, orange, yellow, etc.) absorb more heat than 'cool' colors (blue, violet, what-have-you)? Ah, well if you didn't and are currently confused, it's okay. I was too when I was taught this in science class. But I'm not going to go into detail with that. I just thought that these light and 'cool' colors would be great for summer, as they will be less likely to absorb heat. I sound like a nerd, but that's fine!!

When I look at these outfits, I imagine myself wearing them, and I feel like one of those girls in those commercials with the breezy and the beautiful and the cover girl trees and the wind. Oh, I think one of those deodorant commercials has popped into my mind. Anyhow, I don't say breezy meaning the wind will pull up your skirt, I mean the wind can still reach -- oh gosh do I sound like a pervert XD? Lulz. Oh gosh, how do I say this without sounding nasty? (._.''')
