Day dreamer and Believer

My last night's outfit was inspired by Audrey Hepburn. I remembered the week before Parents' Night and I still doesn't have something to wear. I have my friends who suggested me to try the Audrey Hepburn look but then I find it complicated. Good thing my cousin who's very "makulit" insisted that I should at least try this Audrey Hepburn look. She said that she'll go with me to buy the complete Audrey Hepburn outfit and so I said "YES". I didn't copy Audrey Hepburn's hairstyle since I want my hair to be curled for Parents' Night :) My hair doesn't looked curly here because these pictures were all taken after Parents' Night when we got home. I guess I have the most decent photos at home than when I was in school :))

This is what I came up. What do you think guise? I was really happy that I'd received good feed backs yesterday from my school mates as well as the teachers. Thanks for the nice compliments.

Parents' Night? Definitely the BEST NIGHT of my Senior HS Life. Super saya and super worth it lahat ng pagod during practices. I had so many realizations during that night. Naisip ko na ayoko pa talagang umalis sa SBC. Ang dami kong mamimiss. Naisip ko din na I was lucky enought to be part of this Parent's Night kasi iba siya talaga. It's not like PROM. It's better than PROM. Nakakatawang isipin na kung noong rehearsals ang daming ipinagbawal, parang during the night nalimutan namin lahat ng mga ipinagbabawal. We were instructed to wear our costumes when we arrive pero maraming hindi sumunod. Kanya-kanyang trip at porma nga diba? :) We were also instructed not to change our clothes after performances pero anong nangyari lahat kami may baon na pampalit even the boys! HAHAHA. Ang saya lang. And lastly ang hirap pala talaga magsuot ng 4-inch heels for 6 hours pero keri pa rin kasi feel na feel ko naman po. :) Masakit nga lang ngayon ang paa ko.

I salute all the SENIORS for all the AWESOME performances. I guess every parent during that night appreciated all our efforts kasi kitang-kita naman sa faces nila diba? Mga tuwang-tuwa at proud na proud. We felt so FREE and WILD last night especially during the disco part. THE DANCE CRAZE! Sana may nagvideo ng Harlem Shake ng Seniors. Ang saya lang talaga. Parang nasa bar lang ang peg kagabi. And thisss, Napagkaisahan pa ako na sumayaw. Okay, gora naman ako! :))) After that night I received tweets na ang HOT ko daw sumayaw. lol. It's not too late para madiscover. ;) HAHAHAHA.

Oscars ang peg :)

with my best friend :)

with my co-bloggers :) Finally, may picture na tayong tatlo.

I'm glad my mom's really happy that night. =)

Sobrang saya ng BENE. The BEST!

Words nor pictures aren't enough to express how HAPPY I was last night. Kahit i flood ko pa ang blog ko na "Ang saya-saya ko" 1 million times kulang pa rin sa nararamdaman ko ngayon. I won't waste any minute being with my classmates for the remaining 9 days. Graduation na ang kasunod. I'll really miss all the memories of my HS Life. Kaya kahit na masakit ang paa at ulo I'll still go to school today.

Thanks for reading! :)

This day was one of the most memorable day of my High School Life and probably one of the most heart pounding day for all of us, Seniors, because the ANNOUNCEMENT OF HONORS had just happened. Gosh! Sa totoo lang hindi naman talaga ako kinakabahan these past few days pero noong "moment of truth" na at nag tatawag na ng honors lalo na noong malapit na ang surname na "M", shocks, bigla na lang akong kinabahan kasi baka malampasan yung pangalan ko. Yes, ganyan po akong ka praning kanina. :))) But when Sr. Claire said "Shaira Angelique Manalo", GOSHHH! Thank you Lord! Super saya ng feeling. As in. After all those sleepless nights, all those tears (every time I feel really down because of getting very low grades and thinking that I wouldn't be able to be an honor student), piles of school works... I MADE IT! YES! I MADE IT! I'm really proud of myself and I'm really happy that I was able to surpass and graduate this coming March 22 With Honors! :) Yung feeling na ang saya-saya umakyat sa stage para tanggapin yung pinaghirapan mo for 4 years! :"> I did this not only for myself but also for my parents! This is my birthday gift for mom. :">

These pictures were all taken before the Announcement of Honors. Mukhang happy? Kabado po kami diyan kailangan lang talagang mag smile kasi may paparazzi. :))) I'm glad that these smiles are for REAL now. Congrats BENE. I love you so much. WE MADE IT! Mas makakahataw na tayo sa mga practices for Parent's Night and Graduation. Happy and satisfied na. =) No worries, No Fears! Ilang days na lang at gagraduate na tayo! Mag cocollege na tayo! Ang tatanda na natin. :))) Let's cherish every moment together. Outing na agad after graduation. HAHAHA. I love you BENE!

Congratulations Batch 2012-2013!
Kahit na hindi lahat naka receive ng award, I know you did your best to be part of this centennial batch graduation! I salute you! >:D<

Last Saturday and Sunday we went to Manila to have our shopping for the upcoming events this March. My mom, Ate Rica, Ninang Kriset and I first went to Makati at around 8 already in the evening. The only place where we've roamed around was in Forever21. Seriously, it was already closing time and I still haven't decided what to buy. ^_^ I need to be wise enough in buying clothes since I only have limited money. I've tried many dresses but this very simple black bodycon knee length dress got my attention. I swear it's very simple that you'll never think I would wear something like that for Parent's Night. Anyway we were instructed to wear any smart casual attire if ever we'll be changing clothes after the performances. I bought it because I think it's classy. I also bought some accessories in F21 to complete my look. The only problem is that I still don't have shoes :( I really have a hard time looking for one. :"((( I think the only shoe stores that will solve my problem are Payless and Parisian Plus. I can be a model of Parisian Plus since almost all my shoes were bought there. Hahaha.

After our F21 shopping we've headed to The Fort where Mercato is located to have our late dinner. It was like a bazaar of foods which opens at 11 pm. Seriously, this was the first time I'd went to a place like this and all I can say is "WOW, FOOD FLOOD". "HEAVENNN!" I wasn't able to decide at once what foods to eat because there were so many choices. We were like having our midnight picnic while watching a football practice. We've arrived home at 1 am already. It was really a FUN day for me. Piggin' out after that day.

Before sleeping I remembered my classmate's text message wherein I need to take a picture of myself 20 years from now. Deadline was the day after, 10 am. Omygosh. How will I be able to take a picture of myself as a dentist if I don't have any costume? I have a lab gown but I don't have it with me. What I did was that I got some clothes from my Ninang's closet and mix & match some clothes. They said I looked like a business woman in my attire but then think of it as a dentist's casual attire, okay?! :)))

The next day we spent the whole day at Robinsons Place Manila. We were also able to find great clothes for the other events. There was this event for cosplayers. I enjoyed watching their looks and how passionate they are in portraying their favorite characters. I like their wigs also. :>
