HOW TO TAKE SELF-PORTRAITS INDOORS

Let’s face it – in today’s world, the perception of people connected to us is hugely based on the photos we share over the internet. Sharing has become a way to give people a chance to see a bit of our lives – either to take a glimpse of our latest travel, to drool over the food we are about to devour or to admire the outfit we have put together for day. Although I think our ways and means of socializing have evolved into something a bit.. sad, I won’t deny I also like taking pictures for my blog from time to time.

Something Borrowed

The following photos do not necessarily reflect my feelings as of the moment of writing.

I was all-smiles here, thinking the sun will continuously shine for the next days or so. A few days later, a majority of the Philippines is once again submerged in flood that we all can’t seem to get rid of. With all the issues in the government today, I can’t help but feel the loss and regret. Our taxes should work for us Filipinos who are suffering from calamities year after year after year and not for a selected greedy few who use the money for nonsense extravagance. But I’m sorry, corruption is another story.

Something Blue

Whatever happened to my digitally permed hair? It has been 1 month and 12 days so I think it’s about time for an update.

Before that though I just want to say – I regret I was not able to take pictures during the earlier days of the perm. I believe it was the time the curls were still so well defined. Today I have loose waves that, well, I cannot really say I dislike. In fact, I like it a lot that a single photo to show you my look is not enough. I have to take redundant photos to make a point. Sorry if I feel the need to immortalize the sexiest my hair has ever become. LOL.

A Quick Guide to Corporate Dressing

I started ditching my shorts, shirts and slippers when I graduated from the University a year ago and began investing in polo tops, pencil skirts and black pants when I started working for an architecture firm in the Metro. I think I (and most of the people I know and am close to) am in the phase of my life when I need to start proving myself and making myself known in my profession. Possessing the right talents and skills is the formula to success, along with numerous other things a young professional must consider – projecting a good self-image, for example.

Take a Bow

I am not putting this off any longer (in fact, I’m sorry for taking me three weeks to finish) — here goes my final post for my Style Stunner Manila series. Loving the outfits so far? Hoping you do.
