Eight long years - that's how long I've stopped having formal training. That's how long I've been questioning my purpose despite moving forward with another career path. In all the things I do, there's this ballerina inside me who wants to get out from the darkness and continue pursuing her passion.

"It's really difficult to give-up that one thing which makes you truly happy especially when you know that you have what it takes to be the best in the world. :(" - I wrote that 4 years ago and it's still applicable up to this day.

Am I giving up on my ballet dreams?

Hideout Tea and Coffee House - A Perfect Spot to Hang-out with Family and Friends

Located in South Caloocan, Hideout Tea and Coffee House is definitely a unique place to hang-out and dine! This is their 2nd Branch, Malabon being the first.

Being a North girl but living the Southern life, I guess it's time to try out what the North has to offer. My family likes to try out new places when it comes to eating and dining and since this establishment is just 2 jeepney rides away from home (ok. kidding. i'm not sure because we Uber-ed. haha), we tried out the place.

Didn't expect this outfit to compliment my hair that much! I wore this outfit to my bother's Senior High School graduation. The weather was sweltering hot that day but I always manage for the sake of slaying an outfit that I actually love to wear.

Really in love with Zaful's pieces because I find this brand trendy and unique. This palazzo pants are extremely comfy (except that it's a bit long for me if I wear flats). The Black Cutout Lace Up T-Shirt is elegant and is good for wearing casually or if I want to be sophisticated and elegant. So that's a great piece to wear.

Travelling is one thing that I love, and during my travels, I always want to visit local golf courses in the area. It gives me the chance to unwind, and the game itself is satisfying to play or to watch. Recently, I was interested in visiting a few golf courses near Austin TX, specifically the Teravista Golf Club. This is a championship golf club with 18-holes and a view that spans around 50 miles of Texas Hill Country surrounding a 7,200-yard layout. The environment provides quality conditions for a golf club, including excellent greens significant to the Austin Area. Teravista offers golfers five tee sets on top of the 7,200 yards to challenge them in their different abilities and ages. The regular booking fee for a Tee is $39 per player.

Individuality is important to all of us. Defining ourselves through our interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes helps us to discover who we are in relation to our friends, co-workers and partners. Many people get tattoos or piercings to define their individuality, while others take up daring hobbies or express themselves through art. However we go about it, we all have an innate desire to understand (and help others understand) what makes us unique. Whether you want to embrace your character quirks or you're just looking to get noticed, here are four unusual ways to express your individuality.

Summer is finally here and as the sun shines so bright and touches our skin, I am currently loving fashion pieces that have summer prints in them such as pineapples, sunflowers, and plants! Truth be told, I'm not really into prints if you can tell but right now, two-pieces and bikinis with bright and bold summer prints are too lovely and pretty not to resist! So here's a wishlist of that, all items from one of my favorite wholesale brands, Zaful:

A few weeks ago, I posted about my thoughts on Aloe Vera Soothing Gel and I'm starting to believe with Aloe Vera's miracles. So I'd like to try it out for my lips as well as I tend to get really chapped lips from time to time especially with this summer heat!

SUNTRUST SHANATA PROJECT: A Minimal Contemporary Two-Bedroom Condo Unit

This 36 sqm. Two-Bedroom Condo Unit located at Suntrust Shanata is designed in a Minimal Contemporary style, making the whole unit spacious, fresh, and airy.
​
Cove ceilings and wall mirrors were installed to create an illusion of a high-ceiling and a wider wall space. All throughout the unit, customized pieces can be found such as the sofa and console table from made by arc, and the closet wardrobes. The 3-piece artwork, entitled Phenomena, was created especially for this condo unit as I tend to make special art pieces to my clients as gifts.

I've shared the construction phase a few days ago. And before I finally showcase photos of this condo project, let me first show you the rendered perspectives vs. the actual design project and a few snaps of the before and after because I want to satisfy myself (hahaha).
