Loosen Up

You can pretty much see how happy I am with this outfit

Oddness is Beauty

Shampoo model moment right there

The sun wasn't still up when Mom woke me up and I have to say that it's the earliest that I did. We brisk walked for maybe a kilometer and half then rode a taxi to Legazpi Sunday Market. It was worth visiting regularly, just be sure you have money on your bank account, haha. Some of the things on sale were costly because 1.The food is fresh and organic. 2. Most of the products were one of a kind.

I got clothes from the Sunday market, one of them is this harem pants, I instantly fell in love with it, it was one of those quite risky pieces. Obviously, I was excited to wear it, I wore it to church and when we watched The Avengers.

I just want to share this scripture that really made my faith stronger (this was part of this month's series, Know God's Will)- 1Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."

This was a very big day, not only did I went to church, as I always do, but I also went to the reception of my baby cousin, Maristella's christening in Greenbelt 5. It was the first time I saw her since they live abroad and I was also so happy to see one of my favorite aunts, Tita Len, who is Maristella's mom. It was so much fun since I get to see my aunts and uncles, well being with family is always fun. :) After that, we headed to Greenbelt 3 to watch The Lorax, I've always been a fan of Dr. Seuss, so you can say that I was smiling while walking because of uncontainable excitement haha. Just as I was captured by The Cat in The Hat, The Lorax didn't fail to do so, yet another movie that built my personality and my awareness of what's happening and what will most likely happen in the future. Though it's animated and full of cute little things, everybody needs to watch the Lorax, I don't know, maybe your perspective might just turn upside down and you'll be stirred to the right direction. And I'll admit it, I am guilty of some of the things that are in the movie, it might not be as bad but I'm glad that I watched it before I turn into a monster and yes, I cried a bit :p


Don't forget to watch The Lorax!

This was the most memorable song in the movie, or more correctly, the scariest. It's when the Once-ler thinks that it wouldn't hurt to cut a bit trees not knowing that after some time, he'll abuse it, he cut down trees until the trufulas are gone. We're like him sometimes, you know. 

Intrusion

Please let me intrude into your dashboards with my come-back post haha kidding. Yes, I finally updated my blog after a month, our laptop had to be reformatted so now it's back to business! :)

I named this post 'Intrusion' mainly because we started a new series in church today! It was really unexpected, I never thought it was on the list. As Pastor Joseph was preaching, I was like "HOW DID THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE?! :O" I guess that's how God works right? Every plan perfectly executed and perfectly in time. Most of the time, we blame circumstances, we blame them why we are the person we are today but truly, those circumstances show what we're capable of- how we can say harsh words, how we can express hate to the people around us, how we think we can escape to our wrong doings, how we think we can trick God. But despite that, God chooses to intrude in our lives to change us. 

Whilst listening, I started to remember people who lied to me, people who tried to get away with it, for a moment I wished they were there to hear the message so they can stop whatever they're doing and also I kind of wanted to move on with it because it will be the consequences of their action that will chase them.

New Hairstyle

A new series has started today, called Love Different. The first installment is "Love at First Sight". I have learned so many things about love, the correct definition of love. 

"Love demonstrates"

"Love means to die to self"

"Love is a feeling, it's a moment"

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers"

And words of wisdom like "Don't live life expecting, live giving". 

Truly this series is a blessing, considering that Pop culture has provided us with wrong perspectives about love. 

It's my first time to buy clothes in folded&hung, I was like wow when I entered the store. I really like my top, it's psychedelic, it's cropped, it gives me a summer vibe, it's mine! :D

New hair, obviously haha. Mom was the one who had the idea to cut my hair like that, it was a tough decision because for sure, when I go to school, my classmates are gonna tease me. But I still went for it haha, I want something new, a hairstyle that most girls wouldn't try. :p

It's Thrive's last installment today, I have to say it's one of the most memorable series. Hopefully I will learn how to thrive, and thrive for the rest of my life. Next Sunday, we'll be having a new series called "Love Different" and I'm excited for it!

It's my first time to wear a hat and I'm loving it, I wish to have a fedora hat tho, for summer :D Speaking of summer, aaaaahhhh 2 months to go then I won't have to think about school works :D

I'm adoring my hair, I just tied it into a bun the whole afternoon, I was amazed when I untied it.

You might notice that I update my blog every Sunday. Well, that's because that's the time when we really go out and my mom or brother is in the mood to take shots. Haha. In church, we are having a series called Thrive, this Sunday is actually the 3rd part of the series. I learn a lot from it, and I think I change bit by bit. 

I really wanted to wear this dress way before but it was too short and I didn't have tights. So now I had the chance to wear it. Yeayyy. Also, this weekend's good because my aunts are here. :D 

The boy in the first picture is my brother hahaha. He's crazy and I started to love him more for the past days haha :D

It's a Sunday! Pastor Joey's preaching moved me. A voice whispered to me and said "Bianca, you need to change now." So I am working on it now, I really want to change. Thrive, live a worthwhile life. 

We went to 3 places today and yes I was tired but it was worth it because I got to spend time with my siblings, and with Mom. I have a big feeling that this family's vibe will be artsy for the coming days hehe :D

Game of Shadows

We had the last dinner with my dad today, he's gonna leave tomorrow and head to Dubai where he works. We'd surely miss him. This night is tight! Did some shopping, ate a lot and watched Sherlock Holmes; Game of Shadows. The movie was very nice, a lot better than the first one. It was also funny, I was laughing the whole time, Robert Downey couldn't be more perfect for it. :D They used Cliff Hanger in the end, and I was happy knowing that it doesn't end there. 

In Greenbelt, you have to do a lot of walking but it's not tiring since the whole place is wonderful. I observed the people, some of them are couples whose fingers are intertwined, all I could say was sighhhh. Some looked really wild, I couldn't help but put on a not-so-pleasant facial expression. Some were grown-ups but still were with their parents, I thought, I want to be just like them. There were unlikely things that I noticed but I ignored it, because well I can do my observations any time and put on any face any time I observe something but to be with your family and just bond together, they don't happen very often. :)

Friday Night

Had dinner last night with the family in Aristocrat, but before that we watched the sunset in Manila Bay. The sky was wonderful, it was heavenly and also while I was there, I remembered how people suffered from the past typhoons. The cement bars in the shore were literally destroyed, it was tragic. 

Besides that, I had fun because I was with the whole family, after we ate dinner we went to Robinson's hoping we can go to the movies but the movies were all Filipino movies. We're honestly not a fan of them. So we just went shopping instead :D
