Oh my God, what happened to July!? It REALLY whizzed on by! Who would’ve thought that we’d see Hiddleswift and Kim’s exposé!? Hahahaha Just kidding. That’s not the path I’d want to go into for this (long overdue) blog post. But if you wanna discuss it, feel free to message me, lol. But I’d probably enjoy it more if we talk about President Duterte’s SONA. Starting off with how awesome Gina Lopez is for DENR, how inspired I am by our president, and how there were still people who ignored the freakin’ dress code.

Anyway!

July has been one crazy month. For starters, I’ve spent the past 3 weekends out of town – Boracay, Bataan, and Cebu. Two Mondays of which were spent sick in bed, with the last one extending until the Thursday I had to fly out. Guys, seriously, Conzace – best for recovery! And Fern-C if it’s just starting out. Haha! I’ve also started working! I know I said I would pursue a different industry, but guess what, I’m back in logistics. At the same company at that. I mean, yeah, now it’s Manila. So it’s an all new learning curve for me, but hey, we’ll see how it goes. Like I said, it’s the side of the industry that I enjoy so I’m very optimistic. Although it entails a long ass commute. One of which was when I spent a Friday afternoon stressing about the coding window closing, only to be talked sense into by Mang Loloy that  yaaaa-huh, I’m not gonna die if the window closes in on me. I’m just gonna need to pay the fine and collect my license from City Hall, if ever, but other than that? I wasn’t gonna die or anything serious. Yeah, it’s a hassle but, what to do?! Traffic, eh. And it’s not like I can ditch work altogether. It was a good realization that sometimes shit happens. As much as you try to avoid it, sometimes it’s bound to happen. You just roll with the punches because sometimes what you’re worried about doesn’t have any concrete basis.. and that your worries are far scarier than the actual reality. 

The above photos were snapped by my fashion mentor (and mother in general!), Luis, when we were in Cebu for Ayala’s Style Origin. Can you believe that it has been ongoing for 5 years now AND that we were part of the FIRST one?! It was great to do fashion again after 4 years away. The high after a show?! PRICELESS. It was also a reminder that I shouldn’t stop pursuing things that make me happy.  That I should find ways to make time and balance everything that feeds my soul. And making sure that I’m not neglecting my health and body, as my parents have been constantly lecturing me this month. It’s not fun being sick!!! (But it is fun to spend time with friends and family! In my defense, I’ve been away from Manila for 4 YEARS and I am dying to catch up with everyone, even if it means foregoing rest. It’s like runner’s high, you don’t feel tired until after, haha! I WILL DO BETTER BALANCING THIS FRONT, PROMISE!!!)

What about you!? This catch up shouldn’t be one-sided! Let me know what you’ve been up to or simply link me your latest blog post below. I’d love to hear about how your month is going! Or maybe let’s exchange Snapchat ids? Mine is heyrocketgirl. I’m flying to Singapore tomorrow so that should mean more interesting snaps.

And just when you thought that this post couldn’t be any more longer, here’s my current LSS and the namesake of this blog post.
