Emergency Shoes
Girls love SHOES!!! That’s a fact. Who doesn’t?
I’m guilty and won’t argue with that. I love shoes with high heels esp wedges with 4” and above. The higher the better. My shoe collection consists of mostly wedges that I bought online.
Boys don’t understand why we can’t get enough of shoes. Right?

Blue Sky
Last last last week, I can’t even recall the exact date, I fell in love with the sky. Why? Because of the calming color. Took advantage. Grabbed my tripod, set the timer and voila!

This is the last set of photos with my long wavy...

Photos I took last Christmas 2011 on our way to Quezon Province. I love going there every year, a sweet escape from the busy Manila. I love the mountain views, the trees, farm, native houses and innocent faces.
Sad part was the Gumaca Quezon ocean view, you can see from above the transition of colors from blue to green to brown. Dirty in short. :’( I...

Let's be honest..
Beauty is not all that interesting (and certainly not more interesting than the dessert menu). But when a confident woman walks into a room, it is entrancing.
She is not usually the one in the plain black dress.
She is the one in the interesting shirt and the vintage skirt, and I immediately want to know where she got them. And she may not be the most stunningly gorgeous woman I’ve never...
