top shopootd | pompom shorts ripplesbyjenny | sneakers nike | necklace sassyflairies

This isn't my first time wearing this. I just happened to be so busy that time (it was a baby shower surprise party for our dear friend and we are the organizer so we are really that busy). Anyway, I intend to wear it with my white nike sneakers but hesitate a bit since this particular sneakers of mine is so old and need a replacement. I've been thinking, honestly, been planning to buy the white classic adidas sneakers soon.

Anyway, I've been really wanting to wear all-white and I guess I pulled it off? I added this white cloth choker that I made myself for my online shop sassyflairies and it has been my favorite. It can really change your outfit instantly. What do you think about it? Let me know!

"What we had is so real that it has to end. What we had is so passionate so we can endure the pain. What we had is so magical that we have to get a taste of what tragic is. What we had is so perfect that when finally it has to end we know how damage we both are."

With so much love, Ellie

Hindi lang "AldUb" ang may weeksary! Ako din! 3rd weeksary ko sa office today! Haha anyway, today marks my 16th day at the office as Jr. QA Analyst. I am forever grateful for this opportunity. It has been a challenge where I am right now. I won't elaborate further but I know this challenge will mold me to be much better for my future. I have so many plans regarding my career, and the biggest is going out of the country for work. Hopefully, by the end of year next year I was able to pursue it already. 

Honestly, some of my friends asked me why I wanted to work abroad, and why going to such place alone. It has been my fascination to go to place where no one knows me or even recognize me. A place where everything is new to me. Where I can start being(?) me. Or doing things without boundaries. I wanted to prove something not for anyone but for myself. That though I graduate late, not on time, that though I have so many difficulty during my college days (financial and all) I can still work for those years that I know should be by now I am experiencing already. And I wanted to give back big time to my mom and dad who works hard for us esp for me. I wanted to do something for myself and for my family. I wanted to prove to anyone that starting late is never too late because I always believe with what C.S. Lewis says "you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream!" What's your excuse?! If you can dream it you can do it! Plus, I have so many failed decisions in the past and I want to make up to all of those and one step is this. And I know, I can!



Going back, I am enjoying my stay at my new company. It is far different from my previous work environment. Maybe, the fact that I am working solo makes me more productive since I am only relying to myself. Which I am very good at. Not that I'm not good nor not in favor on working as a team but ever since college its just me all along. Working means having a me-time always. I love eating alone even when I dine outside the office its always been a me-time. Though, hopefully, I'll gain some friends at the office, too. Pero hindi ko alam pano umpisahan. Haha! There were conversation started but I really don't know how to answer or to keep it moving. Sometimes, all I answered was a smile or a little laugh which pretty much a conversation stopper. And then after that, I realize (well inside my head) that there are a lot of possible answers that I can say to keep the conversation going and its just sucks you know, not being able to say that response right away. I am not really good at peer face to face conversation. Not of course if we are getting along together for a long time. Maybe I'm just new there. I don't know. I'm such a weirdo sometimes. And, though I wanted to start a conversation with them I am shy. I don't know how to start. But though like that, I am still enjoying my work and they are all nice naman to me. They smile at me or they smiled back at me and that's pretty much fine for me. I really don't feel left out. 


Moreover, I am liking someone! And I can't believe I am saying it here. Right now! He is so nice and uhh good looking! And his voice is so mesmerizing? Natatawa ko sa mga term ko. Ay. Haha! But I get so bumpy(was that even a word? Haha!) I get these butteflies inside my stomach and I.PANIC.EVERYTIME.HE.IS.AROUND!! Or when he is near me! Its like I wanted him to be near but not really. Ano. Ba. Ellie. Help me!!! Haha! But then, I have to stay calm(laughs harder) but when he talks to me it was like ugggr I smile a lot! And I can't stop smiling! And I need to visit the comfort room just to hide my smile there! This has to stop! Hahaha oh goodness. I just hope he never finds out. Because I am so dead.

So much for my rant! Have a great day everyone!



"I was happy and I know you were too. We were so inlove together that it started to swallow and consume us. We love each other so much that it explodes and drifted us apart. You love me so much that you let me go. I love you so much that I need to move on."

Cebu is probably one of the provinces that has so many destinations. That's why after our Bantayan Island escapade we roam the city of Cebu. It was easy (even though they have different dialect, they can still understand Tagalog and English), because all you need is the list of places you wanted to go, call a cab to get you there.

Actually, you can also hire a taxi to be your guide. But make sure to find one who will not cost you much. Some asks for higher payment which I doubt the real price.

When you go to Cebu, I guess, one of the list always include the Magellan's cross. For it holds so much history about our country. Of course, it was one on our list. And after that, there's no more. Seriously?? Yes, our entire three days two nights trip consume our Bantayan Island escapade since Bantayan island will take you hours to go there. When we got back from the city it was already evening and we are so tired that we end up sleeping and the next day we only have the rest of the day for our last hurrah before our flight.

Cebu holds so many old and scenery churches that I really wanted to visit. Those I am seeing only on the pictures and postcards. Last 2013, most of it were hit by the earthquake and ruined and destroy most of it. By the time I saw it, they were renovating and reconstructing the Church and preserve what still remains.

I've been to two different Catholic chruch: The  Basilica Minore del Santo Niño and The Chapel of San Perdo Calungsod. We also went to Cebu Taoist Temple. These are all located at the north side of Cebu. There are much more landmarks to go to on the south side but we have so little time that we manage our remaining time to go to as many as we could around the area. It was a fun experience and we it was not costly since we just walked through streets and get lost in the highways that we end up getting hungry! Speaking of getting hungry, no one went to Cebu without tasting their finest Cebu lechon! And we did! And we make it our last stop! It was the most yummiest and delicious and savory lechon I've tasted so far. We ate at Rico's Lechon at Acacia Drive Ayala. You must try it! Not just that they offered a very delicious food but a beautiful ambiance too!

As I've said earlier there are a lot of destinations to go to at Cebu and will definitely going back there for sure. Will not have to cross out the Cebu on my bucket list yet.


With so much love, Ellie

stripes dress thrifted | brown boots river island | watch casio

Indoor outfit post for now. And wasn't able to really edit the whole photos. I faced a lot of struggle when posting my outfit. One, no one will take the photo of me. Two, I don't have the perfect spot in the house where I can get the proper lighting. Three, even outdoor shooting is a struggle, can't seem to find a perfect place. Four, my camera was a mess and damaged. But, I worked on it. First, I bought a tripod, so I get to shoot on my own. Second, honestly, I am still working this out, our house was not yet finished especially our own rooms, so this particular outfit photos were taken at the living room which obviously, not yet painted and the lighting sucks. I know. But I did everything to edit the photo, though it still look lame. Third, I found the perfect spot for my outfit post, if you have noticed my previous outfits its a great place, its actually a Church nearby and has a wide space and different good spot. I honestly don't want people to see me shooting, they kinda giving me this look, esp I'm the only one. haha! Fifth, I was able to have it cleaned, but the flash is still broken and it costs too much and I don't want to have it repaired that will cost that high so I am planning to buy an external flash that I will invest soon when I start my job.

I think, we all have our fair share of struggle when it comes to blogging. And of course, we have our own forte and genre of what we want to share and post. But it all comes down to doing what we love and that is to share what we've got and by that to help others and get inspired by what we are doing and sharing, and by that I believe that we get this satisfaction that is more for ourselves. Honestly, I get hyped whenever I blog. It's such and has been an outlet for me. Its as if I am in different world, a world I can call my own.

What are your struggles when you started blogging and how did you overcome it? Let me know on the comments!

"How can something so real can end like that? How can something so passionate have to endure pain like that? How can something so magical can be so tragic like that? How can something so perfect can cause so much damage like that?"

With so much love, Ellie
