2015 Goals

This post is way overdue but then I thought its never to late to share my thoughts and goals with you guys for this year. My 2015 started off really good, compared to how I started my 2014. There were so many issues and such back then and I was fixing it through out the whole year. Although I may have given up on some but its never too late to try again.
Anyways, my 2014 ended with a bang and I gotta say, I've been blessed in so many ways.
In 2014, I started university and currently taking up bachelors in international travel and tourism majoring in hospitality and I must say, so far so good. Im happy with what im doing and I cant wait to graduate and get a job in line of my degree. I still can't believe that Im off to my second year already! It has been a mixture of ups and downs but im looking forward to whats ahead of me. In 2014, I was also blessed to have given the opportunity to have two jobs, considering that I am also in Uni then and it all worked out pretty good. And to have my family support me all the way, from picking me up after work and also dropping me off and lending me the car when I do finish late at work. Also, I am proud to say that I am in a stable relationship with my Boyfriend and without him, I dont know how I'll be able to control my life sometimes. Although, I went downhill with fitness, Im satisfied enough to have learnt so much about health. It opened my eyes to what Im consuming and Im thankful for the people that inspired me to keep going.

My goals for 2015 are simple. They may sound cliche but these are the things that I need to work on the most.

1. Rekindle my faith.

"A thousand times I fail, still Your mercy remains." I go by these lyrics cuz its just on point. This has got to be the very first one on my list. I haven't been embracing my faith as much and I do feel bad about it. Im definitely working on this goal this year. 

2. Go back to fitness

Believe it or not, I lost a total of 10 kgs ever since I started gyming and eating clean. But I lost all motivation towards the end of 2014. I really looking forward to going back to fitness. Slowly getting there. 

3. Keep up a B average for 2nd year in University

I actually did pretty good in uni for my first year even though I struggled to fit in, I struggle to adjust, I did better than I expected. Now, I just need keep doing what Im doing and oush myself harder. This semester, Im not really familiar with any of my subjects but I just need to pull myself out and do what I can do. 

4. Travel

Yesssss! Me and my girlfriends have been planning to go to Australia this year to visit one of our closest friends who is currently in Melbourne! and from there, we'll go to Gold Coast! I've always love the idea of travelling with a group of friends! Im looking forward to all my future travel endeavours! And with this on my list, Philippines is also in my list. The last time that I was in the Philippines was back in 2012. I'd really like to visit the homeland anytime soon. And with travelling on my 2015 goals, I really do need to step up my game in terms of saving money. 

5. Discover New Zealand.

My family migrated in New Zealand back in 2007. Its been 8 years since then and I do want to explore New Zealand more. I can pretty much say I grew up in New Zealand. I was only 11 back then. Though it was a tough move as we found it hard to adjust, culture wise. I want to discover New Zealand in so many ways. New Zealand has so many beautiful places that I have yet to discover. And im hoping to do so with my boyfriend. 

6. Read more books
I've got a lot of books in my room and I've only read a few of them. Some unfinished. I still think that reading is better than watching, though I do watch a few TV series every now and then but im not committed. Sometimes I watch a few episodes and wont continue to watch the rest. Same goes for reading. I read a few chapters and then I neglect the book. I need to read more books this year.

7. Be minimalist
There are some things that I need to change this year and that includes being minimalist. Things such as alcohol or clubs dont amuse me anymore. Also, I need to put my phone down a lot now and less social media. Hence the new facebook where I have less friends so less interaction.

Thats all for now :)

From Plain to Dots

Hey guys!

Summer is here and I am currently working two part time jobs. Though I still dont know how I feel about having two jobs but Im happy I can afford to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends. Perks of earning money from two jobs is that I also get to save up for a plane ticket to the Philippines and Im kind of hoping to go sometime next year. Though next year I am hoping to travel a lot from the islands to Australia, taking it one step at a time. Also hoping to see Queenstown during winter next year. 

My birthday is just around the corner. It hasnt hit me yet but I feel like I have more responsibility now that I work to earn money. Its a lot of responsibility in terms of helping out with financial stuff at home and also personal stuff. Theres also that part when you work so much that you feel like you deserve to buy something for yourself. Kind of like a reward. I am currently working on resisting to buy myself a reward due to the fact that Christmas is just around the corner and I do have to buy presents for my loved ones.

I also feel like this year went by pretty fast. Though im not gonna lie to you, 2014 was so good to me. New house, new phone, new car, 2 jobs, a caring boyfriend, 1st of uni done and dusted, met Kathniel in person and lost 12 kgs in 1 year and went down from 34% bodyfat to 18%. I couldnt ask for more. I have everything that I need and I have achieved my goals for 2014. I can't wait for new adventure to come next year. New year, New goals, I cant wait to show you guys that experience.

Anyways, heres an irrelevant outfit post :)

Hey guys!

Im trying to be consistent with blogging but somehow, every time my outfit is on point, I dont get a chance to blog it. Well today is one of those rare days that I get to blog my outfit of the day. Lately, i've been obsessing over stripes or anything blank or white. I just dont see myself rocking up pastel coloured outfits or anything soft coloured though I do own quite a few pastel coloured tops and skirts. I have been a black and white person lately and I find myself repeating the clothes I wear every week just because I try to stick with black and white. This week is just the perfect week for me to relax as I work two part time jobs but I get a day off until saturday. I am grateful to have this kind of break even though its only for a few days but the fact that I dont have to worry about not getting enough sleep or working both jobs on the same day, its just so relaxing. Also, this week, I am willing to spend as much time with my friends as I do think that I will get busy especially during christmas season where I know I will be slammed with shift after shift so I'm making the most out of this week.
Also, I am planning to start christmas shopping soon and unfortunately, I am only giving gifts to those people who have made an effort to spend time with me this year. Im so excited that Christmas is just around the corner! And also, my birthday is coming up and im really excited to spend that time with my family and my friends. And my boyfriend. Though, I wish I could celebrate it back home with my Lola and cousins.

Anyways. hope everyone's having a good day so far or had a good day today. If you didnt, well cheer up because you'll never know what tomorrow offers.
Heres my outfit of the day. Also watched Mockingjay part 1 with the bae for 50 cents today. HOLLAAAA~

HELLO 4 MONTHS OF SUMMER HOLIDAYS!

hello readers!!

I am finally free from studying and exams, though I will be working 2 jobs this summer holidays but I will most likely drop one by next year. This year went by pretty fast! I cant get over the fact that I've just finished my first year in uni! Off to second year in March and im not excited.

Anyways, I had my last exam today and I've never been confident walking out of an exam room. This semester was so good and im not gonna lie about that. After my exam, I went and met up with two of my closest mates from high school and watched Gone Girl. It was pretty good! The intensity of the movie was real and i'd pay another 50 cents to watch it. Yeah thats right! 50 cents movie because I work at Hoyts.

Heres a quick outfit of the day post.
Thanks to my brother for taking these, though it needed a lot of adjustments because he didnt play with the settings. Im posting it anyways.

First week of exams

Hey guys,
So this week is the first official exam week for me. This year has gone by really fast and in a few weeks, I've officially finish my first year in university. For those of you who are not aware of what im currently studying, I am doing a bachelors in international tourism management. I love doing what Im doing an I look forward to getting a job within the airline industry in the future. I always think about travelling to different places, whether it may be domestic or international. If you do ask me though, I havent really traveled much but I am looking forward to going to Australia next year. Currently have two jobs to save up for that much awaited trip. Though, its really hard to find someone to travel with you. Every else is so busy with uni or work or sometimes, its financial problems. And thats why I did tourism. To study and explore different places and different cultures and to experience an authentic and unique places from different part of the world.

Anyways, heres my outfit for today.

Outfit details:

Top from Artwork, PH

Blue leggings from Valleygirl

Denim Jacket from Hongkong

Special thanks to Shanelle from Servilles Hair Academy for doing my hair :)

Hope everyone's having a good day and I apologise once again for crappy photos :)

Monochrome

Hello readers!

Here I am again with another blog post. Lately, my wardrobe has been filled with black and white clothing and I swear every week, I just buy more black and/or white stuff. Then I complain that I dont have any colours in my wardrobe which makes me buy more clothes but still buys monochrome coloured clothes. I just find it hard to work with colours. And also because I try to dress my age but also going with the trend. I just find it so hard to match coloured clothing with the things that I have now. But maybe ill mix more colours in summer which is not that far. I cannot wait to dress comfortably and go out with friends. This outfit is definitely Spring friendly. 

Anyways, here it is :)

Short blog for now as I have to catch up with uni work. I have a ton of assessments due in about 2 weeks and exams starts this month.

Outfit details:

Long sleeve stripe dress from Mirrou

Black Tote bag from Kmart

Black ankle boots from Novo

Bucket hat from Fiji

P.S I apologize for crappy looking photos. I dressed up to uni today so I thought I'd do a blog about today's outfit. This is also the same outfit I wore to #TFCOneKapamilyaGoInNewZealand where I met Kathniel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla) along with other kapamilya stars in person. That week felt surreal. Still cant get over it. 

Love lots,
