Day dreamer and Believer: Cheers 2017!

Cheers 2017!

Heyyy! How are you all doing? I'm sure you're all busy now because we're back to reality and the holidays are already over! Anyway, I just want to share with you my one and only new year's resolution for the whole year. This 2017 I'm finally saying "YES" to the challenges that I'm going to encounter. "Yes" is the magic word that I've always been afraid of because I fear failure and possible worst scenarios. As I age, I realized that whenever I say "NO" to something I reject many opportunities in life. I'm not talking about saying "Yes" like pressuring myself to do the things that I don't want to do but I'm talking about having the courage to do the things that I really want to do but I am afraid of. I'm not only saying "Yes" to these challenges just for fun but I want to grow as a person and gain lots of experiences. I've always been that person who's been trapped in the bubbly world of imaginations, what ifs and buts. This year, I'm challenging myself to try the things that I am once afraid of and grab the opportunities knocking. I mean, I'm 20 and I guess, it's about time to explore and have the courage to live the life of endless possibilities. Life is too short to ask "why me?" Instead, say "why not?" Opportunities do not always knock so grab the chance, say yes and be positive! I'm already claiming that this year is going to be better than the previous one! Cheers to more fun, experiences and adventures!

Outfit. To tell you honestly, I'm one of those persons you'll rarely see wearing jackets, sweaters, hoodies or cardigans. Even if the temperature goes down to 15 degrees, I don't think I'll still wear one. Haha! I only have very few in my closet and most of it were given to me because I don't buy for myself. But apparently, people change (hugot ba yun?!) and so are my preferences when it comes to my style and clothes. This year, I'm starting to "Yes" in wearing denim jackets like this one (and those matte dark red lipstick from Colourpop. Haha!). It's actually a new addition in my closet and so far, my favorite. One thing that I liked about it is the fabric which is not too thick nor thin. I used it on a walking tour during a cold afternoon and it's just enough to cover up and keep me warm. It's a staple and versatile piece too in everyone's closet because you can literally wear them with anything! Thank you Shein for my denim jacket and Rosegal for my cute perfume bag (New favorite bag!!!). You can purchase this same denim jacket too by clicking this or you can check out their site for more choices!. :)
