During Fashion Week there were moments where I would find myself a space to stand and just observe everything and everyone surrounding me. There I was trying to absorb everyone's outfits, spotting known local fashion bloggers, designers, photographers, and at the same time trying to avoid bumping into people which was quite hard by the way. My fashion week experience actually reminded me of my internship a couple of months back with an events company. I could just imagine the stress, pressure, and chaos that everyone working there was dealing with. I remember being on call for like 17 hours for one event and that was definitely an experience that I actually enjoyed and learned a lot from. Well I guess the fashion and events industry is not really for the laid back.

After fashion week, me and Mj headed to Bonfacio High Street to grab a late dinner in Starbucks (yes we do call it dinner and not just a snack). In connection with our fashion-filled event earlier, there was an exhibit there showcasing Filipina Fashion and known Filipinas in the arts and media industry. Coincidence perhaps?

Am I the only one who drink these Tazo Teas?

Last Thursday, me and Mj of Future Foes/Street Manila got to watch the Philppine Fashion Week Holiday 2010 featuring the Ready To Wear and New Generation Collection at the SMX Convention. It was interesting to see all the young fashion-minded people of Manila from bloggers and writers/editors down to known photographers in one place. It was also interesting to see Mj be in fangirl mode a.k.a smiling and hyperventilating at the same time when she finally got to meet photographer Bj Pascual.

Sorry for the crappy quality of the photos. Check out Future Foes to see more more photos from the show.

I posted an entry not so long ago about my to do list this summer. By now I think I can only tick off two or three out of my ten to-do-list. Honestly I think that I won't be able to accomplish all of them throughout my summer vacation and I'm actually fine with that. Having a list has that pressure of doing all of them just because it tells you to do so. Although it would be nice to accomplish all of them, I'm still going to enjoy my summer vacation finish or unfinished.

Going back to that list, here's what I've done so far:

1. Boracay trip with my classmates

2. Clean room after course card (Well I started cleaning and organizing my closet)

3. Start an ebay account a.k.a. start finding ways to earn money

4. Start a sulit account to sell some of the furniture in the house that my mom has been dying to do

5. The Yearly Series Catch-Up (HIMYM and TBBT, you two are the top of my list)

6. Watch tons of movies (e.g. Inglorious Bastards, Paris, je'taime)

7. Summer Photoshoot with Mj of Future Foes and Street Manila

8. Finally start redecorating my room and try the Shabby Chic look

9. Discover Bangkal with Steph

and lastly...let's save the best for last for...

10. Heartwarming and memorable bonding moments with my College and High School friends (I try to go out around 3-4 times a week with different groups of people)

"Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it. "

I don't know what it is with this island but time really stops when you're there and you seem to never find the right amount of days to stay. It definitely brings out your hedonistic side. Even if this trip had its highs and lows, it is definitely the highlight of my last summer vacation and in a heartbeat would love to replay it all again.

Boracay Summer 2010 (March 28-30 and April 30-May 4), you are deeply missed

When the sun goes down in Boracay...

"ang dami nangyayari"

Where's your head at? at? at? at?

Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can't live on, live on without you
