Beau Crescent Turns Four | A Kawaii Tagaytay Getaway

Beau turned four last April 17 and we took her for a quick adventure in Tagaytay City! If you've been following me in social media, I have always expressed how I dislike throwing parties for birthday celebrations. Aside from the fact that I don't find the expenses reasonable, for me, memories and experiences are always the best birthday gifts.

The Dessert Museum Sweet Lolita Fashion Meet

The Dessert Museum is all over social media and our local lolita community was one of the firsts to block a full two hours exclusively for our group. We never had a sweet themed meet before and it was the perfect opportunity to do so. 

Warning: Picture heavy!

International Lolita Day 2017 with PGLC at Karen's Kitchen

 

It's the time of the year again to say my usual - "I can't believe -insert current year- is almost over!" However, I can say 2017 was a year well-spent despite being so quick. I will be writing a separate blog on the highlights of my 2017 and I hope to finish it in time before new year. *gasp*

Dreamy Cafe - Unicorn themed cafe in the Philippines!

Last Wednesday, me and my squad went all the way to Malolos, Bulacan to support our friend, Beru, for the opening of her cafe. Dreamy Cafe is the first ever unicorn themed cafe in the Philippines. A concept made for fans of everything cute / kawaii by a kawaii girl herself! Congratulations, bb. You did it! We all know how hardworking you are and pulling this off is really inspiring.

Most of the pictures I took features my daughter, Beau. This place is truly a dream come true for both the young and the young-at-heart.

Baguio 2016 with family and Ger

Just a quick documentation of my birthday adventure for this year. Went to Baguio again  with family and this time, one of my bestfriends, Ger, tagged along! Was able to score lots of ukay (thrift finds) for our j-fashion resale shop, Labyrinth Garden. It was raining nonstop and was really cold (my phone says 14 degrees, yikes! I'm already freezing at 17 so how about that lol) The experience was gold though since we don't have fogs and winter-ish weather in Manila but I wish we were equipped with proper clothing hahaha. Nagkulang layering ko! :))

"Cerulean Calm"

Realization: I kind of know now why my blogging has gone downhill. I can't keep up with the requirement of perfectly curating every posts. It was easier way back.. the advantages of being young, carefree and emphasis on ~living with the parents~. Life was easier so it was easier to make time for less important stuff. And by important, my life lately is mostly consumed on playing offense with financials and building assets for our family + mommy duties and doing so would need rolled sleeves and swept back hair. I'm embracing what I need to be right now though so I'm not complaining.

Last week, me and the family spent a staycation in a condo accommodation from a listing I found in AirBnb. Chic interior, yass! Perfect for a quick photoshoot because I've been meaning to shoot these dresses for a long time already. I was thinking of a forest-y location but the thought of Manila's sweltering heat kept me setting this project aside. Finally I found a pretty nice place to do this: privacy + aircon = yass pleasee! hahaha. 

Hope you enjoy the photos!
