Regardless of your thoughts on love (some say, stop looking for it; others say, do something about it!), there is no harm in taking a moment to just bask in the magic and energy of love. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cliched and cheesy, maybe, but some moments, some milestones and some traditions will always resonate positively with people. It's impossible to simply ignore how special the day is for the bride and groom, and the ways in which it is definitely touching my own. Yes, I'm a woman of perpetual comparisons too. Haha!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But before we get ahead of ourselves, rest assured, this isn't a blog on weddings, relationships, loving-you-from-a-distance confessions kinda thing... #thesearemyconfessions </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not quite there yet. #onlyheavenknows :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyways... So what ensues is a weekend (or a month) of romantic and comedic entertainment with maidzilla moments, memorable one-liners and several performances. Clearly, one-upmanship is in my DNA. #datsentertainment (Programs committee, yo!)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wedding, the bride, the place was just beautiful. So naturally, things got sloppy on my end and I forgot all about the hair accessories I made for the bride and entourage... which brings us to this --- a wordy, hormone-charged, blog post to compensate for the lack of photos.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/649/atezk.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 427px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hmmm let me see what I can do for you.

It was around that time when the last Harry Potter film was released -- and boy, that broke my heart more than any boy ever did/could, so I was looking to add some feel-good energy in my life and to appease my idle hands, eco-conscience and brain drain all at the same time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I realized that happiness is earned, projected even... It's something you can create, either in an epic the-boy-who-lived scale or in a way that's quite simple, clever and chic, like a shopping event. Shopping + CSR = endorphins = "happy project". It was simple algebra. Haha! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since celebrating creativity and being a spendthrift are two issues I hold near and dear, I decided to hold the Style Swap. Good for me, good for charity, good for creatures big and small. You know I'm quite excellent at busying and distracting myself with "happy projects" to avoid the true and deeper questions about happiness. But that's a different story. Wait, where was I?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, right, the swap. I was just grateful to have some new friends and happy working elves to play with that I made sure all seedlings of doubt, stress, and pressure that come with planning an event simply wouldn't sprout. And of course it was made more fun by power teammates. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5845/img2792ez.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5845/img2792ez.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4452/img2795m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4452/img2795m.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px; " /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, thanks to everyone who donated, helped me out and participated in the Style Swap!

While being a pack-rat was necessary during the Great Depression, that type of thinking today creates excess baggage. And sure, there's this feeling that you'll need the items one day.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>When I lose weight, I'll wear that.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><i></i>However, "one day" never comes. (How sad and Bridget Jones-like is that? Haha!) Here's a good rule of thumb: If you haven't used something in more than a year, chances are you can live without it. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/8247/styleswapfinalposter.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 495px; height: 640px; " /></span></div><div>So let your wardrobe breathe and give someone else clothes that actually fit them at the Style Swap this Saturday, Nov. 12, 1-5 PM at the Union Bank Plaza, Ortigas. All you have to do is to bring AT LEAST 5 swap items (new or gently worn clothes, bags, shoes or accessories) and the registration fee of P100 to swap with fashion bloggers and other bargain hunters! </div><div><br /></div><div>Anything left behind (those grey jeggings, for instance) gets taken to a charity shop/ institution, such as Rags2Riches and Girls Town of Silang, Cavite.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sorry, Barney.

Keeps it challenging. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, here are some photos from the fashion show which I said "Yes!" to last month, featuring Bend & Snap accessories and Stylebreak clothes at "Glow", the UP Bar Ops Kick-off Party at Manor.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFBSQPWY2_VKTqgpRlnYtBK-5Ar69yt9IbONu1he3GXV4AF3pJqT0dJTcSMAsB1CKih8rezMwMRxcowDPIhF02XLru8PNea1Vz7WLZyTHZpm726TK1KacGAh-2BFtnXH_DcL_CDORurY/s1600/up-35.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFBSQPWY2_VKTqgpRlnYtBK-5Ar69yt9IbONu1he3GXV4AF3pJqT0dJTcSMAsB1CKih8rezMwMRxcowDPIhF02XLru8PNea1Vz7WLZyTHZpm726TK1KacGAh-2BFtnXH_DcL_CDORurY/s400/up-35.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898743478560050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMrG_9VDSw3rl234BRnMyXHlFb0n4m8MgrHgSZqZJz-Qivgzv1WQpKQ7F0EooO2ZEWbLNa0YZNgY0ruM1daEs23teQo_9Cw7MRzugg8kRfIW3Cp_eCpTXs8YUNfUzsICQemGDcvcn4Zo/s1600/up-24.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMrG_9VDSw3rl234BRnMyXHlFb0n4m8MgrHgSZqZJz-Qivgzv1WQpKQ7F0EooO2ZEWbLNa0YZNgY0ruM1daEs23teQo_9Cw7MRzugg8kRfIW3Cp_eCpTXs8YUNfUzsICQemGDcvcn4Zo/s400/up-24.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898525358206626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOq3Id5RT3WNSh5Mhf9CLRWu1UhyphenhyphenuL_4NEtQJd2hm5kTF2W9Ed9lFBb17XIn8t2PPGusE85byyojbFnhamCp2-c_u0T2SMRljzdXihVR_8RErutXeKwUPPa5zaXMjhIA3SiTCmtoqFTQ/s1600/up-28.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLOq3Id5RT3WNSh5Mhf9CLRWu1UhyphenhyphenuL_4NEtQJd2hm5kTF2W9Ed9lFBb17XIn8t2PPGusE85byyojbFnhamCp2-c_u0T2SMRljzdXihVR_8RErutXeKwUPPa5zaXMjhIA3SiTCmtoqFTQ/s400/up-28.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898526264987874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzd9JYOdivJW2t9SEcq8L-ijN9kidj9GCs5JpMOjfN4ap6y8Kc4rW7BYh-3FW-clJZy1mrJHG0oFO-QHSVJHpWWi9TPZamyj3482ta_E1JYs8ev4dumY7Ma6zixseD9iZ56RIHsBdGPA/s1600/up-32.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFzd9JYOdivJW2t9SEcq8L-ijN9kidj9GCs5JpMOjfN4ap6y8Kc4rW7BYh-3FW-clJZy1mrJHG0oFO-QHSVJHpWWi9TPZamyj3482ta_E1JYs8ev4dumY7Ma6zixseD9iZ56RIHsBdGPA/s400/up-32.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898521072257954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZ2lWN3fu2YbAhife_kEE-UX9hnjpXpjp_dhcgNXq27Sp9xY6YUapyB6g-x_dzAJszKT5FmsTbDt1Sv6yDFsNHAZN3KACaX-KGOhPZaM3T4Ggwap7MOKeuLaeNtt5NtYPz_0GoWOQP48/s1600/up-39.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZ2lWN3fu2YbAhife_kEE-UX9hnjpXpjp_dhcgNXq27Sp9xY6YUapyB6g-x_dzAJszKT5FmsTbDt1Sv6yDFsNHAZN3KACaX-KGOhPZaM3T4Ggwap7MOKeuLaeNtt5NtYPz_0GoWOQP48/s400/up-39.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898506960632018" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcurLy84mg-AFAokFEdKr6AvnpRowJLr_UPDYq3os3-bchdM9n3-nIwmHmJ-EuxnC7ln8fQOBvrATiiWQBEougMDurebqEG26a9jdNZ6yptVgbbpbPkjZZx1Ffwfhy595zrr76VzxYmk/s1600/up-41.jpeg"></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcurLy84mg-AFAokFEdKr6AvnpRowJLr_UPDYq3os3-bchdM9n3-nIwmHmJ-EuxnC7ln8fQOBvrATiiWQBEougMDurebqEG26a9jdNZ6yptVgbbpbPkjZZx1Ffwfhy595zrr76VzxYmk/s1600/up-41.jpeg"><img style="text-align: left; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcurLy84mg-AFAokFEdKr6AvnpRowJLr_UPDYq3os3-bchdM9n3-nIwmHmJ-EuxnC7ln8fQOBvrATiiWQBEougMDurebqEG26a9jdNZ6yptVgbbpbPkjZZx1Ffwfhy595zrr76VzxYmk/s400/up-41.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658898486377421810" border="0" /></a></div><div>Anyone else out to try something new this year?

I'm dusting off the cobwebs in my brain (It's summer, forgive.) so that I can create something clever and unique for my extra special and extra excited customers. Because as corny as this sounds, there really is so much of myself and my thoughts in every single item I make.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Inspiration is as fickle as girls. But usually, I get moved by interiors, antique, big cities, everyday objects, movies, fairy tales, new supplies and the people who share their talent through their blogs and etsy shops. I guess it also helps that I have an active imagination and a very reliable internet service provider. ;) I found A LOT of visual stimulation online to get me started! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie64IbVd8adG8tFs_yM2sluuyU_ktdikkCCanOOlaamaE8GnVUwih7WX-ps_V1qR1gKM3IuHOL6gv4Fm6XSxLeXyTqLx_qhUKdsxos0-hied_AkFlMRL5q_GspnPGAF5n4WbEfFQhaJts/s1600/4023795990_d1bcbe99bf_o.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block;
