Summer's Almost Over

I guess I have been too lazy to update this blog... Summer's almost over and I don't know if I'd be able to update at all when school starts next month so I decided to write a little something about what I have been doing with my time. First of all, I have already transferred to a different school, so I got busy for a couple of weeks going from my former school to the school I am transferring to, to make sure all the necessary documents are organized and then last week I enrolled already. Aside from that, I haven't done anything of significance, really... Right now, we (me, my parents and older brother) live with my eldest sister while our house is being renovated so I really don't get to go online for long periods of time for fear that my sister's electric bill would balloon to a ridiculously huge difference than what they were used to pay before we moved in. Besides, I only go online lately to watch Gossip Girl episodes (good thing my ate Heidi likes watching it too, hahaha!) so I can't really complain about getting less time to browse the net. I just like watching Blair, Nate and the rest of the Gossip Girl characters and see how the story of their upper east side life unfold...

xoxo... you know you love me... gossip girl!

To Transfer or Not?

I have been battling with myself these past few weeks. I have yet to decide whether I am going to switch colleges or not. There are, of course, pros and cons with whatever decision I make but I have yet to weigh them out seriously and come up with a final answer. I like the school that I am in now... I have gained lots of knowledge and friends with this school and I'd have to admit that it has grown on me already. But I was told I have better options with the school that I am thinking of moving to. It's a tough decision to make but it's one I have to do soon! This semester is practically over and I'd have to make the necessary arrangements if I decide to transfer. I hope the clouds would clear soon so I can see clearly what I need to do...

Different Look

During our personality development subject at school, we were taught not only how to conduct ourselves (you know, good moral and right conduct stuff...) but also how to present ourselves in the right way. Last Wednesday, we got to experiment with makeup. It was fun, considering I don't usually wear the stuff! I mean I'm a powder and lip balm/lip gloss kind of girl. But it was actually quite interesting to play with different looks to arrive at a look that most highlights your "assets". That's what's proper for me, just accentuating what is already there instead of masking your "real face" and getting a look that's totally "NOT YOU". It's fun to look different once in a while... be complemented and called pretty. It really is heart-warming to hear comments like "you look so grown-up with that make up on" or "you're beautiful with your eyes accentuated that way". I know not everyone would think that a certain look goes well with you but I know I felt more confident and lady-like when I got to experiment with makeup to achieve a different effect! Plus I got to get extra bonding time with friends/classmates who helped me choose colors suitable for me and even helped me put the makeup on (because some of them knew more about that stuff than I do!).

Portfolio

My current project for school is to create my own fashion portfolio.

Definitions of Portfolio:

• a large, flat, thin case for carrying loose papers or drawings or maps;
  usually leather; "he remembered her because she was carrying a large ...
• a set of pieces of creative work collected to be shown to potential
  customers or employers; "the artist had put together a portfolio of his work";
  "every actor has a portfolio of photographs"
• a list of the financial assets held by an individual or a bank or other
  financial institution; "they were disappointed by the poor returns on their
  stock portfolio"
• the role of the head of a government department; "he holds the portfolio for
  foreign affairs"

I have asked for help from my older sisters (e lahat naman ng sisters ko older, hahaha!) for me to be able to finish this... hopefully by next week, I can submit this already...
