    As promised on my previous post, here's an outfit post on what I wore last Bloggers United 12. Off shoulder has never been out of style. It's one of my favorite style that I can easily paired with anything. So when I found this bell sleeves off shoulder top at Jukaykay atbp. I didn't hesitate to buy it. Love at first sight. I am fond of buying clothes and not wearing it afterwards, I am happy seeing it on my closet. I only wear it when I want to or during events. Is it weird? Lol I think that's my collection as of my now haha. 



    For these off shoulder top, the simple plus classy style caught my attention. For those who know me well, you'll never question the color lol. Anything pink whether it's pastel/light/solid, I definitely love it! I'm into light colors and most of my clothes were pink. I really consider my style as girly but I also turn that to chic or edgy but depends on my mood or when I just want to (but super rarely hahaha)



    For the bottom, denim skirt is my choice to add details on the look which I got from Bench. The A-line style x front zipper are the best! I felt like I combined the millennial (for the top) and 90's (for the skirt) outfit. Denim skirt is now on trend but I always recommend that you don't need to follow the trend. As long as it makes you comfortable, it's okay. 



    My newest KedsxMinnieMouse completed my look. Ahhhh so cute plus it adds more height because of the triple platform. It can also be pairedfor anything, very versatile! And for girls, white sneakers is a must have ;)

    Last month I joined #KedsxRochelle giveaway on Instagram wherein the prize is a pair of Keds shoes, anything choice of the winner for the celebration of 100 years of Keds (since 1916). And luckily I am the one. So thankful and at first I cannot believe it. That will be my first pair from Keds. I am used in joining giveaways recently because I just want to try my luck out of it. Watch out for my year end blog post where I will write all of my winnings this month hahahah. 


    Back to the story, I went to Gloriette for my pull out with Keds. It's really hard to choose; especially choosing the one you love. Ay joke, iba na pala yun hahahahah lol. I love all their styles plus the latest collection of Minnie Mouse and Kate Spade. Since then I want a white sneakers, their Triple White. But I fell in love with these Minni Mouse print. Ahhhh so cute and I want to use it everyday! Plus the triple platform which adds height. 


    So I finally found the one. The one pair of Keds that will complete for my outfits. It is very versatile that it can be paired with any outfit. Like I'm not into heels person, only when I have events to attend. But for everyday errands, sneakers like this is a must have! More Keds to come! xo

    It's December already; my favorite holiday and it means that Bloggers United is here again. From my previous posts I always said that it's one of the events I'm looking forward during this month. And for the 4th time (consecutively since BU9) I attended again. What keeps me excited is that it's the Blogger Besties (Camille Co, Kryz Uy, Laureen Uy, Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon and Nicole Andersson) comeback and Kryz Uy's book signing of #BehindTheBlog. Since they announced that they're coming I really feel the excitement to see them again complete after BU9. I'm such a fan of how genuine their friendship is.


    Fast forward to the day itself. December 10, 2016 at the World Trade Center. I have my Saturday class but I skipped it just to be here at 10am. I came along with my new found friend Claire, that I met at #ChinXBallPitManila. She had no one to go with and so I am. So we decided to went together. It has a bigger venue unlike before (BU10), more spaces to shop. And there's also a lot of participating bloggers this time. Sponsors that give a lot of freebies and fun games. I think this is the best Bloggers United so far! Kuddos to the team behind this successful event!


    Seeing the bloggers/influencers made me feel that I am much closer to them. I got to talk, shop and take a photo from them. What I love also about Bloggers United is that it is the time I really save my money since then so I can buy clothes from them. And I never failed. Branded or preloved, there's no difference in price. Super sulit! I think this installment is my biggest worth of purchase.



    The event is from 10am to 12mn so everyone has a more time to shop from the bloggers' booth. The theme for this installment is Metallic/Shinning Shimmery. Sadly I wasn't able to went on the theme because when BU haven't announced it, I bought already my outfit (excited hahaha). But that's okay lol. I also get kilig when Patricia Prieto, Lissa Kahayon and Kryz Uy compliment my outfit. Like omg they said "Love your top. We have the same oh, twinning", "Cute shoes! Like your outfit" and "Nice top. Love it". Ahhhh my eyes went on a heart emoji lol. But I will never forget that. Everyone is so nice that they treat you not just readers.


    For the book signing of Kryz, I already have my book but there's a surprise when you bought at event or you have a book. A super cute personalized candies with Behind The Blog cover and title and a simple thank you message of Kryz: "Thanks babe. - Kryz". Plus a free nail polish. Sounds great, right? :) I am so starstrucked when I saw her again, like she's getting prettier as time goes by. And she's so nice, Kryz said that she likes my top (yaaay so kilig!) The saddest part? My selfie with her got blurred because I was shaking. Haysss. But still waiting for the photos from Starstudio Magazine :)

    Ohhh spotted myself hahaha. Thanks fro the photo BU! :P


    From 10am to 6pm, too much happiness on me even I'm physically tired. I travelled from Laguna just to see each and everyone but it doesn't matter. I really had fun. Seeing them has a big impact on myself because they're really my inspiration in blogging. I got to see the real world of blogging and learn a lot through their blogs. I can't thank them enough but all I am sure is that I really love them and I will always continue to support them. A never ending huge thank you to Bloggers United team for this event and to more installments to come! I am also dreaming that someday I am not a reader anymore when going here, that I am the one selling like them; a participating blogger. See you Bloggers United 13!!! ❤

    Being in college, a BSA student I mean is a no joke. Seriously. I know all my fellow BSA students can relate. But what I'm trying to say is that it really needs effort and a lot of time to focus on studies. This course has never came into my mind when I was in high school to took for college. It's when enrollment came and there, I just wrote BS ACCOUNTANCY. As years go by, I started to love that course. Though it's not my thing, I learn to cope up and do my best. I finally did but there comes a time that I feel like I didn't give my all. Experiencing stress from the subjects is very frustrating that I don't know what to do first. But that's life, I realized that I will not be in this course until now if it wasn't for me. Maybe it's in God's plan.


    How to stay motivated in college even though it feels like giving up? Well read below my recommendation and hope it will also work on you! :)

    1. F-O-C-U-S. I know there's a lot of distractions. Number 1 is the social media, I'm self proclaimed attached to it and I think I can't live without it lol. But I just manage my time well and check on my accounts during my break time while studying. It's just a balancing act actually. When you have a peace of mind I'm sure you can focus well.

    2. Organized school papers. This is what I love the most, I'm the type of girl who is super OC on my things. Like I want it to be on place always. I usually had a big envelope every semester where I can put all my notes, handouts, exercises, etc. so that when I need it I can find it right away. Plus my books were arranged accordingly. I think this can help because you will find a wider and clean space in your study area.


    3. Have a break. It's not always books! Find some time to keep you relax to lessen the stress. Eat out with friends at least once a week or have yourself some retail therapy :)

    4. Be inspired with your family. I know we all do this to pay off our parents in the future. I'm very happy that my family were supportive and they just keep on telling me that I can do it. By that, I am more inspired to study well. Let them be our inspirations.


    5. Do your passion. For me it's blogging, it has been my hobby first and then turned into passion. I just love writing everything that comes into my mind and share with everyone. It also helps me lessen the stress plus by reading other bloggers blog!

    6. Reward yourself. This is very effective because as it makes you strive more and then when you passed or didn't have a failing grade, it's time to reward yourself for doing a great job. Like for me I buy lipstick or clothes.Or even a food trip is also fun!


    Whatever your strategies on how to stay motivated is dependent on your own. It's just a matter of doing things equally. Everything will fall perfectly into place, believe me. When you think you can't, think again. Discover yourself and don't let stress and problems cover you. We can do it! Cheers! xo

    In the emerging blogging industry, lots of people had been eyeing for bloggers. On what they do on this job and how they manage their everyday life. This is just one of the major questions the readers want to know. Since 2013 I've been a fan of bloggers; that I really tracked on their social media accounts and blogs to know them better. It's also the reason why I became interested in blogging. I had my first blog in Tumblr but after few months later I transferred to Blogspot. 

    As years go along, I discovered new faces in the blogging industry. Came 2015 (I don't remember what exactly month) when I was browsing Vina Guerrero & David Guison's Instagram posts, I became curious with the one tagged on the photo:  @chinchinobcena. I go through her account and mesmerized by her simple beauty and how she can carry different outfits. So I followed all her social media accounts and started reading her blog.

    To cut the story short, Chin Chin Obcena became my inspiration in everything. And I am very thankful that I am chosen to attend at her first event last November 30, 2016 at Ball Pit Manila. I just want to share that Chin Chin herself is the one who invited me. Lucky me? YES! At the time I received her message, I really can't believe it. I've already met her on Bloggers United 11 but nothing conversation happened, I mean just a simple hi. It's just I bought from her booth and took a photo with her. That's why I don't want to miss that chance to bond with her. 

     
    The event was organized by her and everything came to what we are expected. From the venue, foods and giveaways. It was indeed a fun day with her. We got to know her even more and chit chat to everyone including her friends :) We also had a little game where Chin Chin asked random questions about herself and who answered correct will won GCs. Gladly, I know something about her! Hehe. Love my GCs lol!


    Through this event, I had new friends which I can considered a new family. Everyone is accommodating and friendly! And by that, I came up writing the things on what I looked up to Chin Chin. Here it goes:

    1. She keeps her readers attached to her. Not just through social media but personally! She never treated us on the boundary of readers instead as her friends.


    2. She is a cheerful and positive person. I don't know her a lot but on what I see, she can juggle everything through her positive outlook in life.


    3. She is beautiful inside and out. The first time I saw her on Instagram, just wow. She became my instant girl crush! Physical appearance is the thing we looked into first, (#reality) but what I want to see is the beauty within and I didn't fail. Chin Chin have it inside and out.


    4. She can balance school and blogging. As an aspiring blogger and student, this is what I looked up into her. She can do both at the same time. Through her Snapchat and Instagram stories, I saw how she managed both well. I hope I can too.


    5. She keeps her feet on the ground. Though she had been a known blogger up to this time, she never forget to remain what she really is. I know that on what where she is right now is a mixed of handwork and perseverance.


    Though I already gave a message to her on that day, I want to share it here:

    "Hi, Chin if you're reading this I just want to say that I'm really thankful to meet you. Thank you for being an inspiration to us. Just continue doing what you love and don't forget that no matter what we're here for you. I hope we can have that bonding again soon. We really had fun! You deserve everything that you have right now. Keep on shining! Love you always" ❤
