LADY DANGER

One last shot for 2012. Last year I had the same count of posts from this year. I did't know how does that happened but of course I didn't do it in purpose, if I just have the chance to make it double, I will. I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to my blogging.

For me, this year wasn't that good compared to my past years. I have so many ups and downs, it was like a roller coaster ride (literally) but it wasn't the end of the world right and life must go on. I have learned so much things with my mistakes even if I repeated some of it twice or thrice. I'm really thankful to God, my lovely family, my true friends (you know who you are), who are always there for me, who never gave up on me. And of course to you my readers who always put some smile on my face whenever my blog level up on top blogs, who left some comments, and hype me on lookbook.

So I'm really looking forward for 2013. I wore this polka dot pants and MAC Lady Danger for my lips for some luck this new year. And I will jump and jump and jump (yes, in heels) when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight. I still want to grow taller at my age, please add 2 inches to my 5 feet 4 inches height please?

I want to greet my sister/ best friend/ baby/ partner in crime/ forever kakampi/ my photographer a happy happy happy birthday to you Joyce!! I love you. <3

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

COLORS on COLORS

If you're color blind then I hate you, joking. I really appreciate colors, most of my clothes are colored and printed. So here I am wearing a very colorful top and skirt that I both got from a thrift shop but not on the same time and date. They're not really terno or matched, and the brands are not the same as well. I got the skirt first from somewhere, last year maybe, I can't recall if it was in Manila or here in Bicol. And I already wore them here. But the top was a recent buy last week and it was really surprising when I saw it. I know it will match my old skirt, they are match made in heaven. Even they have the similar pastel colors, I love that the prints are not the same, you can notice that the top have bigger square or blocks. There, you can identify that they're really different.

After I met and became friends with this guy who skate, he showed me a lot of videos about skating. I said I don't like skate boarding, all I want is ice skating. I know I'm "pa-girl" forever, but deep inside I really got curious and interested about it. How they can slide, flip, and fly from a high surface to the floor. They're amazing! I never tried this because I am scared, it  looks dangerous, I don't want to risk my life, my bones, or damaged my skin then have some scars or keloid after just to show people I'm cool. No! I even put some SUPREME skate board on my August Mood Board.
Until I saw this photos from another blog. Maybe this was from an editorial for a magazine. Stylish girl who can skate? Who doesn't love that? Look how she glide and her skirt flows. So beautiful!! I don't want to be an ice skater now, I wan't to be like her right at this moment. Don't worry, I won't do exhibitions. What's important is to learn the basics and won't fall while moving.

Since we're talking about skating and anything already, maybe you or your friend or you know anyone who can be interested about this one.

The 3rd Pacific Kaos, Downhill Rush Skateboard Championship will be held in our province Camarines Norte. From Mercedes, Basud, and my hometown Daet. On August 30 to September 2, 2012. For more information, you can visit their facebook site here.

PUMP GAS DASHING

Before I start, I am wishing a happy Eid al-Fitr to all my muslim friends and readers out there. It's a long weekend here in Philippines so everyone grabbed the chance to enjoy it. My sister Donna is enjoying it by going home here in Bicol. Yes, she's here in our hometown Daet. You know how happy I am when we are together! Because I have my "sister" slash "photographer" slash "driver" and most of all my "best friend". I love my sister so much!! She just arrived this morning from an eight hour travel time from Manila. I know she's stressed or tired from the trip but she still managed to company me for this. 

We stopped in this Shell gas station to pump some diesel and this is also the opportunity to have a photo on this kind of location. I want to try some other places now, aside from streets and gardens. Like what I have put on my August Mood Board. So gas station is now marked as check!

NEW IN. I'm still here in our small town Daet guys, but is it amazing that I got these two items here? 

Lace shorts from KOKAK, they describe their store as "Fashion for the full-figured fashionista". I think the store was really built for me. Kidding! What I meant is, most of the clothes in tiangge are too small. I can't fit on their free size clothes, maybe they measured it from a petite chinese girl from China. Haha! This boutique was new here, so I decided to visit the store and see what's inside. Upon entering the store, I can tell that the products are well chosen and not baduy. From shoes, bags, accessories, etc. :)

Vintage Casio digital watch. I got this watch from here also. Yes, you read it right. I'm looking for this kind of watch for a year now and I can't find any in Manila. So I got really surprised that I will find this here. Actually, I want the gold one, but they don't have it in gold. I don't wanna be "choosy" so I bought it right away.

P.S - I'm planning to wear the shorts for the fun run on Sunday. The cut was like a running shorts so maybe I can wear it. What do you guys think? :))

Rooster Chic

 

 ROOSTER. That's what I thought of myself when I saw my shots in the laptop. I know I am a woman, so I should be a hen. But no, just for this post please, I'm the rooster in the middle of the farm. Maybe because I compare my maroon jeggings that I got from Greenhills Tiangge to "palong" or cockscomb and my sheer stripes peter pan collar top from Crossings as the feathers.

If you guys are just wondering. I'm back in my beautiful town Daet, Camarines Norte. You can't see any bukid around Metro Manila now a days. And sorry for the sweaty forehead. It's so hot in the Philippines!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Additional one year to my age last month. I turned 22 last April 22, 2012. Sorry for the late post.  We had a problem with our internet connection recently. But I'm very thankful that I'm still breathing and kicking. 

We celebrated my birthday at Chef Mama, a restaurant in Daet, Camarines Norte, same place with my 21st birthday, I blogged about it last year. If you wanna see the difference with me from 2011 to 2012 birthday. CLICK HERE. You the one to judge. :)

Here is what I am telling you from my last post SPECIAL. The skirt that I bought from H&M Conscious Collection. The weather that day was torturing. So I just paired the skirt with my so old plain white tank top. I think I need a new one.

It was just a small family gathering. Last year my Kuya Joman wasn't there. This year year we became bigger but no Kuya Jason of (Runway2Reality.com) and Ate Cocoy. Sayang!! The food was great, I swear! With a very reasonable price. You can check their facebook site HERE.

Animal Attraction

A day before Christmas. We have decided to go at Bagasbas Beach and meet my friend Loren. It was gloomy, drizzling, and raining the whole day. It was cold for sure. To keep me warm, I brought this top that I got from my Mama's closet. How cool is this long sleeves, ha? Festive prints, cool tiger at the middle. TREASURE! I want to wear it again on new years eve, but on different way or style of course. Right!! I'll wear it again. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays! :)

Love. DIANA <3

TWENTYONE

 Yesterday was a Good Friday, but it doesn't mean that I can't be happy or celebrate my special day. We celebrated my 21st birthday in Chef Mama. It's a newly opened restaurant here in Daet, Camarines Norte, Bicol Region.

The place was so beautiful! We seated at the lagoon pavilions. Its peaceful and relaxing. 

Kuya Jason and Ate Cocoy doing some wacky jump shot when we arrived.

 Order time!! The menu book was so big, big like a wedding album. It was full of delicious dishes, and the pictures will make you crave and you will be delighted to go back and try the other viands.

 Here are some of what we ordered. Baked Tahong, Big Pla-pla, Cordon Bleu, Tinumok, etc. Their prices are very reasonable. I'm surely will go back in there.

  BLOW TIME. I'm maarte, I want a cake for my birthday. Sayang ang wish noh! I had decadent chocolate cake from Caramel Bakeshop.

Guess what I wished for. :)

3rd Day: Hometown Tour

On the third day, we just decided to go around Daet, Camarines Norte. 

Joyce and I want them to see and experience the place we grew up to.

Our town is just small, so its kinda easy to see the important places like "Unang bantayog ni Rizal, our provincial capitol, etc".

But before we start the sight seeing, we need to load up ourselves with energy drink, 1st day to 2nd day was tiring. And this tour needs a lot of walking.

First stop, our provincial capitol. Haha, I know I look like a tourista too. Feeling lang! You knew me.

 Me, Sandra and Onin

Then to the first ever bantayog ni Rizal

 After doing this hippie thing, we brought them to our school CNSC-LHS, then we showed to Sandra the NOVO store. She didn't have any idea what was Novo all about because she grew up in Manila. So we said, it was like Zara, where you can find variety of jeans and basic shirts. LOL! :))

After all the walks and goofing around on some stores. We got tired and hungry, it means eating time. We had our merienda at KSarap. It's one of the favorite restaurant in Daet. The place is cool and refreshing. There are sounds of running water and a lot of plants in the surroundings.

 See, the light was very good.

This is Onin's camera. I want a handy cam too!
