Rosegold my love

            I always tell that gray is my favorite color but I believe that rose gold is the one that's destined for me. Why? I formulated that theory when I bought my dream watch. When I saw this rose gold watch, I immediately pulled my Dad to the watch cabinet. Hello Papa, I love you! I know you're reading this! See you soon! There's a gray color but it's digital. After a month, there goes the color that I've been waiting for. If only I can trade it to someone who's willing. That's how the rose gold theory came to itself.

       Three years ago, I wrote on my blog some of my dream destinations before I reach 30 and I think it's a good motivation aside from whenever I take the test especially accounting, I tell myself, " 1 mistake is equivalent to 1 loss of Prada bag..." so that I will aim for the best. As I grow up, my perspective about travelling has truly changed. 

1. DUBAI DUBAI DUBAI ( It will be the easiest place to live/ travel in because I have long list of people as my tour guide. Hello Papa, Tita Tess, Tito Jerome and Tita Angel ( Basty and Aj my babies!!!!! ) and Ate Cham cham. Hello! )

2.  USA!!!!!!!!! ( where I have lots of readers in my blog. Same reason as #1, hello Tita Grace, Tita Claribel and Tita Beth and cousins!)

3. London, UK ( When I entered High School, I learned to love English so much. I can't recall a line of 8 grade tho???? :) Para di na ako magyabang, ask nyo na lang grade ko sa Management Accounting. Yan, nahihiya na ako. Okay na guys! AHHHAHAHAHAH!! That's so opposite in college, well, in college, you have to work hard for your grades. Nothing is easy. Shout out to my literature subject before! I would love to watch medieval settings and a lot of castles and palace again. <3

4. Vigan, Ilocos Sur ( I remembered my college interview before in ust, I expected that question already, one of my skills is to expect such questions, except in accounting huhu  "What's your dream place here in the country?" I answered, "Vigan , Ilocos Sur." Him: Why? Me: I would love to see the Bangui Windmills because it generates electric power that supplies the region. Him: How did you know? Me: I'm an avid fan of it. I realized that maybe he knew that I'm prepared to the question because it's so science-y that's why he asked. Lol!!!!!!! I don't know how to compose myself a good reason so I thought of a closed answer. HAHAHAHA! Well, still thanks to my speech subject in 4th year high school because the teacher taught us already the do's and dont's in an interview. I'm not saying that I'm good in English, I only like it so much because my alma mater taught me of it. Thanks to St. Bridget College. )

5. Bali, Indonesia ( I don't appreciate beaches before but thanks to the best barkada in college for introducing me to it. I always tell my friends that I can imagine all of us living in a place, working in the same company, eating in the same table, giggling before going to sleep and etc. For now, we'll spend our vacations in Batangas to explore our very own. Someday, for the youdabest friendship goals! )

Top: Old Navy; Leggings: Forever21; Shoes: Nike; RuckSack Bag: From an online shop. I forgot the name! The reason for buying that is my addiction to Park Shin Hye of The Heirs kdrama. Haaay! Mamang Monie is right. How can I save money when everything's my favorite? HAHAHA!

 With love,

H&M A/W Launch Party

     Last September 9, I received two exclusive invites from H&M Philippines for the launch part of A/W season held at SM Megamall. I've always been a fan of H&M since they opened their flagship store in Ortigas. The event is a breakfast shopping which offered a sale of purchasing a piece from their A/W season of style and you'll get a 20% discount on the second item that you will buy!

 

       I brought my soul sister in this event, presenting, Ms. CABEIHM 4th runner up, one of the people who's part of the half of my heart, who will always be there to go with me WHENEVER, WHEREVER AND WHATEVER! "Girl, grabe pwede ka bukas? Nalulungkot ako, di ko kaya na di makuha yung planner ng sb, makabili or makapunta chuchuchcuhcuchcuchcu :(" Joice be like, " *Cries harder* Waaaaa! Sige G!" Thanks Joice for always being there since from the start. We share the same interest and dreams in life that's why we really clicked to our ideas and life stories. Thank you and won't let this drama goes way long. Love you girl! :) Again, thank you H&M Philippines for the 2 exclusive invites from the A/W launch party!!!! I'd love to comeback over and over again for the upcoming events! Visit www.facebook/HM for more updates!

Love,

Patricia<3   

 

Flaunt

           Hello!!! I'm so speechless right now because again, I don't know where to start Anyways, I missed blogging and I think I know where I'm supposed to be and to give my full attention this time. Thank you Lord because you brought me to the position that I've wanted!!! For the past few months, I was so depressed about my studies. 2nd year is such a monster!! This is the first time that I experienced receiving failing grades even in a minor subject. That's how though the competition is! I always came home crying of my scores. Those were the days that I lost my appetite in eating. In the first day of our exams, when I took Practical Accounting 1, God knows that I already gave up. I said in myself, "It's so hard. If you didn't pass, it's okay not to experience this torture anymore. When I took this course, I lost my self confidence. You're done feeling like a booby bird this time. If God wants me to become a CPA, then hallelujiah! If not, amen it's up to the Lord and I have still my plan B." But yeah!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I will be forever grateful for this! Again, you didn't fail me Lord! I didn't fail myself this time! Nothing is impossible. Thank you because I'm so blessed right now not only about this but in every aspect in life. Thank you for the gift of family!! When I was young, I pray that I'll grow up with a complete and happy family Thank you especially for keeping my Dad safe in the other country! Thank you because I have a very supportive lola that I can stay up to 12 AM just telling stories to each other! Thank you! To my cousin, Jen who's always there to listen to all my rants in life an understads me with no bad judgement, I love you babe and thank you! To Maycy, thank you for ALL and EVERYTHING including your house, food and useful notes and knowledge, woah, couldn't do this without you girl! To Karla, who brought us to St. Jude parish and who was there to cheer me up and leaves viber message, "MAKAKAPASA KA SA QUALI, TANDAAN MO YAN - sent 2014" I love you always bitch! To my bestfriend, Bea Theresa, I love you baby. Thank you because you're the best. Lahat lahat na I remember when I was still devastated ( hahaa lakas) last summer 2013, I prayed to God, "I know it's not for me. Please, surround me with people who have genuine heart and one bading pls! So God gave me Almira, Joice, Glecie, Mattiaz, Christine, Clarissa and Richmon!!!! HAHAHAHA! THIS GROUP OF FRIENDS, I CAN ASSURE YOU!!!!! This is the group of friends that I can imagine living in a condo in Makati because we work in the same firm after 4 years! HAHAHA. I can imagine the chaos and inner peace whenever we are together. I can imagine myself being a ninang ( already yassss ) to their future babies hahahaha and vice versa! Hahahaha. I don't know but I feel forever with them. I feel so comfortable telling everything like natatae ako. Tapos sabay pala kami ni Joice mga 12am pa yun magkachat kami nagpaalam ako tapos ayun nagmurahan na ang mga hampas lupa Bastaaa, I don't see them as my friends but I consider them as a representation of myself already. Wala makakasira sa friendship namin. Napatunayan na namin yun sa qualifying exam. Whatever happens in the future, no one and nothing can outweigh everything. From all the laughters, late night gossips, confessions, breakfast - lunch- merienda - dinner - midnight snacks, movie marathons & studying?! NO JUST NO! WE'RE INEFFECTIVE ABOUT IT HAHAHAHA. They are the kind of people who will argue about the t-ice bottle in a convenience store discussing which part of the financial accounting 2 it is. Sigawan at it's finest! ahhahaa! Now, we're down to the remaining 6 sems! I'm not yet ready tho because I'm still tired Anyways, the fight must go on! This is just another start of battle! I will never tired of trying! God will provide the strength and I shall work I will fulfill my promises during my review days once I pass the qualifying exams... HAAHA! Thank you to my good professors ( If you gave me high grades then you're good and if not, have conscience... pls? Kidding po lol ), bullyfriends ( I LOVE YOU THE WAY I LOVE MYSELF AND IT'S UNCONDITIONAL ), family and God! Let's do this!!!!! CPA MOVEMENT! CPA PROPER!!!! I may not be the best student in the class but I can assure you, I always do my best as a student!

Black and White challenge

  Hello everyone! I missed blogging a lot. I was pre-occupied by school and vacation but this time I promise to be active again. I've been dressing in black and white lately and I think it will continue till I get sick of it. I love my new printed leggings from Forever21 which I matched to my stripped top from Candies. I'm still grateful that I'm wearing shoes already, woah! Thank God because I missed my black sneakers from Keds. I will be also forever inlove with my chanel-like bag from Girbaud. These babies will be taken good care of in my wardrobe as long as I live. Haha! Holidays are everywhere and I can't wait to spend it with my family and friends for the coming days. I'm so excited for the coming events and to those who will arrive from abroad! I can't wait to tick off my new goals in my bucket list! Thanks for dropping by here in my blog. Somebody suggest some topics for my next blogposts? I would love to hear your comments! :)

Love,

Dear 16-year-old-me, ( Blog version )

  

This dress is definitely one of my favorite because it never gets old. It was a gift from my Ate Paula in Canada. I'm a big fan of the brand because yeah it's too cozy. I remembered when my other auntie asked me, "Mukha bang luma? Ayos lang. Levi's naman!".  Pink is also the lucky color of the year. I want to start 2014 in girly way. I collect dresses so bad but it's not enough ( I think so? Haha ) that's why I try my ootd not to look old as much as possible. Just practice the Mix and Match skills and you'll eventually love it. I'll share a letter for myself in my blog. I started writing one back in Fourth year in my trusted journal. Now, i'm sharing it online. It's not really the same because the new one I wrote in the journal is far way different to this. I hope you'll touch by this. Thanks for dropping by tho! :) :)

Dear 16-year-old-me, ( Blog version )

There's a riot inside my stomach. A vision nothing but passion. I'm still confused of everything. I always ask myself, "Why is it we can't have everything in this world?" To overthink is my past time. I think of people, solution for traffic-is-a-mess feeling, the real end of studying, wanderlust, the old couple I saw earlier passing by the calm road in their vintage bicycle as I chase my breath: Everything, simple as that. In few more months, my age will be changed into a higher number. They say, age is just a number. It is not actually. Age is accompanied by time. Time is one of my mentor in life. I realized how far I've walked in a nowhere journey. They say people come and go. I don't really care about it. I'm a huge fan of spending myself a me-time. I think, a human's biggest escape is to forget about the world for awhile. Throw all the worries that's irritating all the hell out of us. Know yourself, first. Find what really interests you. When you finally found that thing? Love and commit yourself with it. One of my biggest rule in life is to tell the truth. If we start lying, we are already in trouble. I remembered what my mom told me. She said it's hard to lie because of conscience. She also added that it's too awkward for her. Last thing? What's the good point of lying if in the end we'll receive a bad karma? We are full of imperfection. It bores me when I see people who are so perfect. I mean, what's the tricky thrill behind them? No regrets, just love. Take chances. Don't stop from learning and figuring things in this world. Pain is inevitable because how are we going to distinguish sad experiences from wonderful events in our lives. The only permanent thing in this world is change. Life goes on. Acceptance is a must. Trust your guts. Life is short to remove the usb safely because I believe something's gonna arise again in time through the advance technology. Appreciate what's in present. Don't cling from the past. Prepare for the future. Always put your best foot forward in everything you do. Share your blessings to people. Be good as much as you can. After all, decisions determine our destiny. In the end, a cup of coffee and a book of mystery is my kind of comfort. Our comfort is where our hearts are tamed with silency. My last words will be, " Never stop dreaming. Love what will make you the happiest. Ignore the hates. Laugh it off. Work for the Jewish Carpenter, Jesus Christ.".

Love,

Patricia <3

Things that made 2013 awesome

1.) My school, course & friends

 Even though I didn't make it through my dream school, I still found the biggest reason to be motivated.  My course is really unplanned at the same time. Thank God, I really chose accountancy. It really exposes me to wide opportunities in present and ofcourse, the future. I also couldn't be more thankful of my college friends. Back in high school, my first year wasn't that fun. I prayed for an I knew you were trouble section in second year. Luckily, God granted my wish! After it, I wanted to belong in a group where I will feel geek or something. That year, God granted my wish again. He also gave a loving adviser that I really trusted my stories. That was the time I experienced of not going in the canteen for a recess because it will be akward if I did because all of my classmates were bowing their pretty heads to the book! Third year is probably a challenge to run for good grades. Lastly in fourth year, I realized that I haven't had a male adviser. Yes, too lucky again because God granted it once again. Fourth year is definitely one of the happiest year ever because you're in the line of being free and all... but Physics? Don't remind me of that subject again! Haha. Now, I'm blessed for my wish to be granted  again. I prayed to have a set of good friends and yes, have one vice ganda-ish in the group! They are really good people. They're all smart in their own way that's why it's really a big challenge for me to strive more. I found a group where leaving isn't an option. One of my dream is to be part of the dean's lister/ university scholar in college atleast once in my life. I'm so grateful that God gave it to me at the beginning immediately. Thank you Lord for the good professors. They don't teach acads but also life-long lessons. I will study hard as long as I can. Hearts everywhere. 

2.) I still have a complete family. Don't get me wrong. There's no a major prob in our family. What I mean is, my mom and dad are still alive. Not all children are blessed just like me. It only means I still have a plenty of time to repay their unconditional love and good deeds for me and my little brother. I always pray that I shoud die first before them. I know this is a what a wish thought pero okay lang talaga basta okay sila. Sweet ko talaga!! Pero seryoso, kahit hindi matupad lahat ng gusto ko pero ito lang equals forever na!

3.) I met my future husband and queen! Guess who? haha Derrick!!!!!!! I still can't get over. I got the chance to have pictures with him. I got to hold his hand for almost 20 seconds. I wanna scream and shout and let it all out!!!!! Hahahahaha. The first time I saw him wasn't that great. I DO BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES! <3 He's the only celebrity guy who's really my ideal man. He is tall. Toned. Emegesh. I'm drooling for years. Haha. He got the sense of humor. He's really a quirkish person. :P On the other hand, I met the queen of fashion here in Philippines, Laureen Uy. She featured me in her blog. :P She said that I made her day. She remembered every little details I told about her. I'm one lucky girl. Thankyou Lord. :D

4.) Potatoes gonna potate. If you get what I mean? :) Ask.fm may be a bit of tricky but I swear not to use that website/ app again. Haha. I will just use it for my crush purposes! :D I learned that you can't please people around you. My 1 like = 1 prayer sincerely goes to them. I hope they won't do it again. I might consult my witch friend the next time! Hihihi. >:D< You are just there to watch and read. Shattap na lang pls? I hope people are more annoyed right now! Kunot noo> Stressed> Mabilis kayong tatanda> Belat! Hahaha. When life hands me lemons, I say. "Oh yeah. I like lemons! What else ya got?" 😎  #KilledIt

6. People with lovely thoughts. 

It goes with close friends, family, tumblr!! & messages. Sa mga advices, friendship, sa mga pagtuturo sa accounting, blogging, kahit ano. Thankyou especially for the number game messages. I'm so kilig. My two favorite messages are Sandra's and Ysa's. "11.11 Childhood textmaaaate! :') Miss na kitaaaa. Tpos nung nkta kita sa sm, omg bagui na baguiiii hahaha ganda <3" and  "#11.11 I know you'll be a successful person. Both in the fashion and corporate world. Good luck! ;D”. I wish. <3 <3

7. I'm not a religous person but I do believe in God. I now practice reading every morning the daily readings in my bible app. Hopefully maging mabait na ako. Lalo na sa coming days. :) I didn't expect I will witness something miraculous. There's these two women who came by from a trip and fortunately the other one is a far-relative. They were both massaging us when something omasdfghjkl happened. I took the chance of being healed because of my left foot. I realized that everything we do must be according to God. We should follow his words like seriously. "To see is to believe not to believe is to see." Do good things to your brothers and sisters. Let go of hate. Spread the love of God. That was one of my once in a lifetime moment. 

  There you go! I can't believe it, 2013 is about to end in few hours. Thank God, I survived! I can't wait to share my New year's resolution also. This time I will be particular in listing all of them so that I won't lost my drive till the last day of 2014. Dec. 31 is also a significant day for accounting and auditing personnel. Hahaha. Adjusting entries, goodluck! Don't let the statement understated or overstated. School time is getting nearer and whatever. Hello Bio prelims and other subjects results. I always include you in my 11:11. Happy New year to everyone! Happy ako para sa mga taong nasa TimeSquare ngayon. Wait nyo lang ako dyan, makikigulo ako next 5 years! :)) 

Love,

Patricia <3

'Tis the season to be jolly

Dress: Forever21; Flats: Barbie; Sunnies: Sunnies by Charlie; Bag: Random; Necklace & Belt: Sm Accessories

  This is late post already because I was really waiting for my cousin to send other pictures but I guess it will take me to New Year to blog this! (Grrr! Hello Jen Ysabelle!! Haha). I really saved money to buy some of these stuffs all by my savings since sembreak. Hihi. Christmas is definitely my favorite season of the year because not to me mention by a goody girl inside of me I always get this amazement whenever I feel the essence of this celebration, Jesus Christ. I can't wait to share this holy thing I witnessed yesterday. I'm also thinking if I'm allowed to share it in the first place. I think I will more likely tell it through a sneak-peek chika. :) This is also the year I have the chance to be reunited with my super love, Family. <3 This is also the year I get money! HAHAHA. Seriously, I really agree that the economy of our country is getting stronger and much higher. Good job, Pnoy! Lmao. I didn't expect may pamasko will increase from the fact that I'm already old. I guess my Tita Gee is right. Those who are older meet a lot of wawa cash moments in their lives so definitely we deserve this! :P Too bad this is the first time I didn't get myself a pair of booties. 2013 will always remind me of my ankle cut. :( :( I'm still happy and feeling safety safe because pagaling na daw talaga siya sabi ni Doctora! Special thanks to my Tita Maricar for bringing me to their office. I will make bawi of buying shoes this 2014. I will buy a lot. No more clothes. More savings. Get myself into a good business. Be happier the next year around!!!! Yay! No more lie low in blogging and surround myself with lovely thoughts! :D

Love, 

Patricia <3
