Psyched!

The highlight of my March is when a group of Film students asked me to work with them. I read the script and thought it was awesome. And since they were from my alma mater, the University of the Philippines--Diliman, right away, I said "yes". Not long before, my mom was also called to act in a film thesis by another group.

The film thesis I participated in, Kabilang Dulo, was a psychological thriller, beautifully written and directed by Benjo Ferrer. Mom's was about how hard life is and how we should never lose hope no matter how seemingly hopeless our circumstances are. Katapusang Labok was written and directed by my former classmate, Aiess Alonso.

I have always known that film, television and theater have different disciplines. It was only when I worked in this film that I realized that mainstream films and short films have different disciplines, too. And I have to say, it is very refreshing to work with such young geniuses. I am so glad to experience what I have experienced in all four areas of this field.

My sister A and I attended the thesis defense. Excited to watch two films: mine and mom's, of course. The judges, panelists, students and guests gave very good reviews and feed backs to both movies.

Happy. :)

Photographing The Photographer

Her name is Aileen, also known as the big sister. My big sister.

Growing up, I looked up to her for almost about everything. And one of those is her fashion sense. Though she never really considers herself fashionable (she prefers comfort over style), I have always thought that her sense of style is classy, age-appropriate, and neat. I remember her telling me to always be careful with what to wear. "We have to be cautious as to the length of our dress and how low our necklines should go. Sexy, not slutty."

She's my favorite blogger, photographer and friend.

As a blogger, she is always mindful with what she writes about, how she writes it, and why she writes about it in the first place. As a photographer, she has a very keen eye on capturing the right angles, and the subject's true essence. As a sister and a friend, well, that's another story for me to share next time. Otherwise, it's going to take me at least two full pages of this blog to write about her. Haha!



Taken last week at UP Diliman. I love how her bright, playful top goes perfectly
with those dark denim jeans and unique accessories.

A Detailed Steal

Details, no matter how big or small they are, are there for a reason.

Having taken up Journalism subjects back in college, details were very crucial parts in writing articles, reports, reviews, etc. In sentences, for example, the simplest adjective, verb or adverb can make or break a statement or even a whole thought.

This goes the same when it comes to clothes. I am no fashion expert, as much as possible, I stick to the basics and the classics, and just accessorize. I realized though, that a simple top or dress can look very unique and original when accentuated with the right accessories.

My mom is one stickler for details. She got me this steal which she thought was simply my style. I liked the dress so much that I wore it to a coffee-filled afternoon spent with my sister A, and after, went straight to a night out with friends! =)

Love this detail on the shoulders!
