#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 95 - HIGH SCHOOL

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 95!

Day 95, 10:00 AM, Philippines

High school... That was like 12 years ago! God time flies sooo fast! Did I mention that in my last post? Well you'll never know you're getting old until you don't feel like partying all night long anymore, you feel groggy and tired after, what, two drinks (haha!), your idea of a fun night is an intimate dinner with friends with you talking without having to shout and dance at the same time (flashback Republiq nights), and your preference of practically everything changes - from your taste in music to your fashion sense.

When wedding invitations (or any invitations for that matter) are being received, the first thing I think about is what I'm going to wear.

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 79!

Day 79, 10AM, Philippines

My mind is flying.

While typing away a bunch of press releases and email blasts for a freelance stint I am doing, checking out Instagram and typing away texts on Facebook group messages like a mad person (yes, I am good at multitasking), I'm seriously contemplating about changes.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 74 - ASOS BIKINI MIXER

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 74!

Day 74, 10:00 AM, Philippines

Bikinis are one of the most fabulous (and easy to wear) clothing pieces ever invented. Just like high heels, I am a huge fan of swimsuits in various cuts, shapes, prints, and colours. So can I just say that I am absolutely THRILLED to receive an email from ASOS marketing team asking me to review their latest collections of swimsuit separates that you can mix and match??!!! Well feeling really excited about it isn't just the only thing I felt when I got the email, I feel proud to be chosen as one of the international bloggers they approached to write a review about the latest collection. Naturally, I said YES YES YES! I am more than happy to run a review about it. Living in the tropics allows us ladies to wear bikinis all year round. And with the number of resorts and beautiful beaches near Manila, there is absolutely no reason for us not to go on a short trip and have that beach rendezvous we all deserve. The only problem we should be having is what to pack. I'm a huge fan of packing lightly for a short trip. Since my clothes are light and come in small pieces, I always make it a point to bring items with me that I can mix and match and go perfect for both day and night.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 73 - RIBBON AND ROSES

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 73!

Day 73, 10:00 AM, Philippines

I'm thrilled to introduce to you another online shop I recently discovered. For all you resort-wear-loving ladies out there, you'll definitely love love love this Singapore-based online shop. It's called Ribbon and Roses. Sounds pretty and girly, doesn't it? Ribbon and Roses is the brainchild of Marina Milburn that offers women's clothing and jewellery pieces with an East-meets-West feel. After a decade of working in the fashion industry and an extensive knowledge of how fashion works in Asia due to her travels, Marina saw a fabulous opportunity to create pieces that will cater to both Eastern and Western taste.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 60 - CLOSET SWAP

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 60!

Day 60, 12:00 NN, Philippines 

Isn't it fantastic to live in a tropical country? You can pretty much wear the lightest, most sheer and shortest of outfits. For women my age (I'm already 28 now by the way), we tend to keep everything classy even though our bodies are not that covered up. But when we're at the beach, that's a different story. Back in the city, when I wear the shortest of denim cut-offs, I'll make sure I have my shoulders all covered up. It's just a matter of balancing everything - make sure that you reveal just one body part at a time, don't reveal everything in one go unless you want to get uncomfortable stares from strangers in the streets.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 55 - PUERTO GALERA PHOTO DIARY

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 54!

Day 55, 1:00 PM, Aninuan Beach Puerto Galera

First, I'd like to say sorry to my readers for being on a short (okay that's pretty long) hiatus on blogging for The PR Girl Closet. I've been busy with attending interviews and now that I have a freelance stint, I think I would probably be even more busy than I ever was these past few days. I'm so thrilled to share with you though the snapshots I took on our recent trip to Puerto Galera last week for four days. Describing those four days as amazing is the least I can do. Puerto Galera is gorgeous! Its crystal clear water makes even the most scared hydrophobic like myself turn into a convert and not wanting to get off of the water. The mountains that are lined up along with the coconut trees on the shore make for beautiful postcard-worthy photographs.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 31 - MAY INSPIRATIONS

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 31!

Day 31, 9:00 PM, Laguna, Philippines

Goodbye April and hello May! As the 2nd month of the 2nd quarter of the year starts, I stared down the laptop, closed LinkedIn and Gmail tabs and opened a new one where I typed May Inspirations. Then I found myself browsing through the 1st Google page result for less than a minute. I finally clicked on a link that forwarded me to Pinterest and right there, the pins of beaches, couples kissing, women in heavy makeup and healthy recipes looked back at me. I scrolled down and further down but none of these images really caught my attention until I decided to think of typing down each and every single item that serves as my inspirations for the month of May. And then it all boils down to this...

#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 30 - APRIL

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 30!

Day 30, 5:00 PM, Laguna, Philippines

Today's the last day of April and tomorrow, we will be facing a new month again. New month, new start. This is my mantra when I start a new something - whether it's a new day or new job, anything. Everyday, I am thankful that I'm still alive the moment I wake up 'cause that means God is still giving me another chance to live and make my dreams come true. I am thankful for April although this month has been not too lucky career-wise but it doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. An ending gives way to a new beginning and I'm thankful for every little thing that I experience each and every day.
