At this moment, I am still stuck in a phase where my mind grasps the thought that I cannot ask the driver for a student fare anymore and that, I will now enter the so-called real world.
Five days ago, I was with so many people dressed in identical caps and gowns at Manila Hotel to attend a very special event. And that day marks the end of my life at CEU.
It may be the end but I see it as a new beginning. Very cliche, I know. For us graduates, as we step at the center stage and take a bow, we welcome the new chapter of our lives. It may be thrilling because there are lots of competencies out there juggling that job interview you've been dreaming to have ever since and all you think is how you will ace that. Now, I am grateful to land a job in a well-known media company in the Philippines before I even graduate. Imagine, a college girl already has her job before her graduation. Lucky I am says other people because only few are given this chance but to me, it's not just luck that I have. I have my confidence and rosary with me. That's what keeps me achieving things I want.

If you know me well, you would be shocked if you see me wearing a bunch of accessories hanging on my neck or arms. You'd probably be surprised to know that I'm not fond of accessories because my style is very girly. The usual girly girl has always her dress, skirt, and necklace with her. But to me, I just have my necklace hidden in its box. Haha!
But then, like what I have said, my style is girly so I just can't take those accessories away from my closet. I need those, too. You know, for emergency purposes. Lol. And as summer starts, different styles of accessories come in the market. Just to help you out in finding high-quality shops online, I found a gorgeous selection of jewelry at ZALORA. Aside from its cute and elegant designs, the accessories are very much affordable! Trust me! I also thought of looking for shops that sell today's trendy necklaces such as chokers and quartz charms which I found at Copper and Accent Archive. Just in time for the summer trends, right?
These are the top three shops that I chose because they are very stylish yet affordable. :)

It's the time of the season again when teens get an adrenaline rush 'cause, you know, promposals are everywhere. There are times when I just want to go back in time and spill the secrets to myself on how to shine at Prom. Since it can't be, then I'll just have to tell you.
#1. HAVE A PEG
First things first, before anything else, plan ahead. If you already have something in mind, it's better. If not, try looking for a peg. The best option is your favorite celebrity or a character from a chic-flick film. Usually, the fictional characters going to prom are really all made up wearing the best dresses, having the chicest hairstyle and makeup, and of course, a cool limousine that turns heads. Choose a style that you like the most and bring that to your makeup and hairstylist. Trust me, it'll be easier for both of you. Unless you choose a peg that seems impossible to achieve on you like having big curls knowing that you have a short bob. Trust me, you don't want to look like you have headphones on you all night. Also, if you really want to bring your prom inspo to life, go the extra mile and book an Ottawa limousine service (or similar service in your own area) that would make your prom night with your friends really unforgettable.
#2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT DRESS
One of the most important (and exciting) things to keep in mind on standing out in a crowd is having the perfect dress. Every time I hear events, in my mind this calls for an ootd! Whenever I plan my outfit, I get excited. That adrenaline rush in my veins keeps me thrilled about the event. Girls, can you feel me? Anyway, aside from giving us excitement, choosing the dress is one of the most crucial parts of planning your Prom night. It is not easy to find the perfect dress especially if you're running out of time to go to every boutique you know. Good thing, there are several online shops that are rising today. Gone are the days you get stressed looking for a couturier. To make it easier, I'll suggest you pay a visit to Gudeer.com. They have a variety of stunning dresses to choose from.
#3. GET THE PERFECT HAIRSTYLE
Curls, up-dos, or just sleek straight hair is what will make your night. It is very important to achieve a hairstyle that really suits you. In my case, my hair draws my confidence. So when it comes to hairstyles, I am very particular about what style I'll have. As the saying goes, the hair is our crowning glory. The dress you choose might be the most beautiful but without the all-good-perfect-hairstyle, it's no use. The hair will make or break your look.
#4. BRING YOUR CONFIDENCE
What more should you not forget than bringing your confidence with you? No matter how you look that day, having your greatest confidence will make you shine. Smile to everyone you know and you don't know.
#5. WEAR YOUR BEST SMILE
Now that you have all things packed up, one thing you should not forget is to wear your best smile. That will keep heads turning on you all night.
