FIRST PAYDAY NEWSFLASH!

It's the 31st of July year 2013 today and I finally received my first official salary. haha! I just thought about sharing it. It has been a month since I started working for Vans and honestly I am still walking on my toes. Hopefully, i'd be able to fully grasp all the ins and outs of my work soon. Anyway, nothing really special about this post. I am very much elated and was quite excited about receiving the fruits of my labor but all that got replaced in a snap when I checked my facebook account and found myself being tagged on this photo:

hahah! yeah! This is what really made my day. Thanks to my awesome friend who made this possible. I hope you know that you made the fan girl in me tear up with one eye because of pure bliss and kilig. hahah! I take back what I said this blog is now supremely special. LOL! :) #Julielmo #ElmoMagalona #JulieAnneSanJose

P.S.  I hope I could blog more and update this space as much as I can. 

Dear self, I know your work eats time but you should never forget to go out there and do awesome stuff with your life.

We Keep On...

Sunday, a J. M. kind of night. I got so bored I played with pictures again then went for a food trip with my awesome sister. :)

A Normal Girl's Crown

It was just late last year when I decided to mess with my virgin hair. I remember how I was always scared when someone would do something with my hair even a haircut is quite scary for me. Never really had the perfect silky long hair growing up, so I did not pay much attention on it. I don't even brush or fix it when I go out, I like thinking that my hair is low maintenance but then again there's nothing good to maintain. (haha!) I would always have the mid-length messy haircut so it would be easy for me, though it has always been my dream to have a long curly hair. (feeling princess) It was really a struggle for me to grow a long hair cause it takes a while and I don't have the patience for it.Some girls are lucky that their hair grow faster than others, apparently I am on the unlucky group. Once I feel like it's out of shape  and that I am bored with it I would go and let someone cut it. A new haircut is equals a big make-over. Then, I discovered that cutting is not the only option on earth. After years of training (hahaha!) the long wait is over I finally gained the strength to go through  treatments and let my hair absorb some chemicals. (*claps conquered a fear) I was encouraged by my sister and a friend that said "when it comes to hair go lang, kahit ano sige" . It is actually quite liberating and addictive once you start experimenting with it. I've had it cellophaned, colored and bleached.

Anyways, I am just blogging about this cause I am wondering what to do next with my hair. I am thinking of getting a new color or bleaching the ends more to emphasize the ombre effect that I have right now and maybe have it dip-dyed as well. Hopefully, I can decide sooner. Oh, by the way experimenting helped me grow my hair longer cause I didn't have to cut and cut and cut it every time I get bored with it. :)

An Update

I've abandoned this space for a while now and I'm not really happy about that. Trust me, I would love to update you more about my life as much as I possibly can but I've been quite busy with school and a lot of things lately. Oh, the daily struggle of a senior student. Also, I have some other stuff to deal which I really enjoy like restoring some old denims that I started as just an experiment with my friend. Fortunately, we had a good feedback from people so we are trying to push through with it and make more of them. (check out: styleavenueMNL on facebook and instagram) I've been writing a couple of short liners as well on my handy dandy notebook which I promise to post here soon.

These past few months have been a blast for me. I've never been this out and game for everything. 2013's opening was really good and I hope it continues to be like that. I am glad that I get to go out with my friends more, have fun, be crazy and all that. I am seeing more of the world now and though I feel lost and not really sure of what the future would be like for me at least I get to enjoy moments of the present. I get to live life and really I want to live more. :) I don't want to be held back anymore by things I think are hindrances I am getting over this state and be free.

So anyways I will post a photo of something I did just recently cause I was free for a weekend and suddenly an idea came to me. Again, the wall in our bedroom is the victim for this idea. :)

me posing with it. I'd like to call it my 2nd wall project. :)

and here's a photo with the first one I did. :)

I realized that when I have an idea I might as well go for it and do it immediately and not let it pass. :)

No Way

Camera Shot

Had the chance to direct a music video/short film for our Art Appreciation class. Now, I am going to post some peg shots here since it's my blog pagbigyan niyo na ako. I will post the music video and the short film version soon. The music video kinda felt "bitin" and "fast phased" cause we had to cut a lot of scenes to fit the song so we decided to have a short film version of it which is still under the editing process. :)

Before anything else, this would by my official thumbnail for video posting.

(Lovin' this clapper. my new toy.)

"Ako si Ramon mahilig sa mamon"

   random share: I applied for BA Film sa UP dati just cause feeling ko magiging prof ko siya. hahah! :)

Tell me what is it?!

And so I wrote something again...

"maybe it's beyond it?"

Oh btw, been wanting to post photos during Adhoc 2012 "Unbound Legacy" party kea lang I am too lazy to do so. huhu! :( I will post soon I promise! :)

Signs

I'm not good with saying what I feel and think. So most of the time I end up writing short rhymes. This is just one of them. :) 

We Are Young

There are days when I am bored and all I want to do is experiment so this is what I end up having--- random photo result/artsy fartsy vanity.

 "Make me smile like the sun, own my heart forever"

"We are young, so let's set the world on fire. We can go brighter than the sun"

Bad Habits.Good times.

"That maybe after all of these are gone everyone we resent will vanish into thin air. Then we'll be thankful cause this night happened for these are the good times our bad habits saved us."

Not Pin-up

08-24-2012 (liquid pool and bar h2O then seaside moa)

I was not really wearing my red heels on that night. I was actually too lazy to wear those kind of shoes so I hid my black heels inside my bag and wore slippers instead. haha! :)

So my awesome friend (jayvee) wore the red ones instead and see that lazy girl on her side that's me feeling so comfy. :)

In the end, we both gave up we figured our feet needed a little more loving so here we are "happy girls with happy feet"
