Thursday Full of Love

That is what the outfit for today is all about :)

Wearing a stunningly skinny red jeans coupled with floral accent top and heels, what else can you describe how am I today rather than being inlove?  Ohh, I've got so much love to give....lol! So much love to give for a volunteer work tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.  Yes, you heard it right.  I am doing some social work for Abu Dhabi community. 

It took me for a while to search some social / charity group here in the UAE that I can join and volunteer work for a good cause.  It's something that I desired since I left the PI.  I missed doing these things back in the Philippines.  From providing medical missions to inmates and remote barangay areas, setting up livelihood projects for deserving families, etc. and etc.  The whole social work thing.

It is in this way that I feel I am somebody.  A human.  It is so rewarding to see the result of your work  benefit others or the community in anyway your service has served its real purpose. 

I do not have that capability to put up my own charity organization yet for a wider reach of beneficiaries but who knows, I may be able to have it someday.  Meanwhile, I have to continue what has been staggered for a while where there is a need for me to be involved in activities for humanitarian cause. This is what all I know to feel that I am here, to serve that real purpose. xxx

Happy weekend everyone! Much love! - xoxo

Today's Outfit

30-minute Office Makeover

Nah, it is not really a complete makeover that I have to put on new furnitures and equipment in my office but just a re-arrangement of my working and side tables. 

It's actually the original arrangement when I first moved into this office.  A year after, I felt some eye inconveniences and  blamed it to the window glare reflecting on my monitor.  So I arranged the whole office setting to avoid it and experience a new face of my quarter.  

But still I wasn't happy.  I just don't know if this comes with the Feng Sui by the chinese or something else on proper arrangements or putting on stuff in the right direction, etc.  I have no idea about it but I felt stranged on how the 2nd arrangement was made so I finally decided to have my office arranged back as it was.  I just gave more room on the back part making it wider and comfortable for my rounds and to be a bit distant from the window. 

Surely this setting will last. I hope :)

Still with that annoying too bright light on the window

And this is my outfit today.  I know, I know it does not look super but please be good to me because of what I have mentioned on this post.  I really hope next time to come up with a not-so-boring looks when I will be off to go a bit slow on my work outs.

Much love ;) xxx

A Lazy Outfit On A Monday

I have been putting on a lot of time working out lately.  Oh no, I am not obssessed to have such a model-like figure and skinny image every woman would want to!  I love my curves (lol) and am happy on it.  I just need to trim down some belly (baby) fats wanting for a flat tummy ;)

And since this working out thing eats my time a lot, I have to compromise doing other stuff.  One is in preparing my work outfit for the next day. 

Ain't obvious how these photos speak for that?  Effortlessly prepared and a lazy outfit indeed :(  Sorry folks, I am just trying to show here the development on my work outs :)

Need more try's on the curls ;)

Thursday Comfy Outfit!

This pair of heeled blew me away! Whoa love 'em much!

The complete outfit is all new grabs from F21! Ohhh, except the choker, she's from Claires.  Just eyed her yesterday and I fell in love with that stunningly heart-shaped pendant and what else, not bad for a AED20 half price-cut deal huh?  Can't just resist not to pass by.

Need I say more how comfortable this whole outfit is? Ohhh boy it is! I can wear 'em all day long may at work, strollin' at the mall or even a casual meet up again with the girls tonight, perhaps?  Well that's to celebrate the weekend.  But I need to hit the running field first before any 'cos I aint have my wellness time yesterday waiting for something to receive almost in vain :(

So here I say, happy weekend everyone :)

xxx from the UAE ;)

Back to Outfit Post

Purse from nine west

All accessories from F21

I've been MIA especially with the outfit post so here's the treat for the day.  I just love the accessory grabs from F21, always my forever fave.  Don't you just love the earrings? Ohh they are just gorgeous!

I've gotta make this quick as I need to get back official with my weekly reports still pending.  Should have submitted yesterday but network in the office crashed down so the delay.

Smooches friendships! xxx

Have a nice day ya all ;)

Weekend Update

The weekend was a bit tiring but I was happy the way things went out, as planned beforehand.  I hope this will not make somebody envy because I know how she felt bad while the weekend was almost over.  She's a friend and it's absurd feeling so great when somebody feels lost and unstable.  I know she's still at this moment and I just hope she will get over those issues that have arisen over the weekend.

We did our part as a friend.  Pieces of advise are always in the box for her to pick those up.  We will wait and see how it will turn out whatever she may decide later on.

****

Can't believe myself that I did most of listening and giving advises to friends over the weekend.  On what else to talk about other than their beautiful love lives!  Ohh ladies, I just love your stories. Seriously.

We all do have differences of situations over this matter - Lovelife.  Bad, worse or the worst situation perhaps, will have the same impact to destroy oneself if you permit the negativity thoughts you have towards an issue. It all depends how are you going to handle the circumstances brought about by your reactions on a certain situation.  We were given minds over hearts to control our emotions. To rule over emotions and decide what is the right thing to do - to freed oneself from destructions if otherwise not being carefully thought. 

****

So, few more days before my month-long break.  Half of it will be spent in P.I and the other half in U.A.E.  This is the first time ever I will be spending a long break in the U.A.E.  I hope I will be able to spend it productively as I planned for couple of things to accomplish out of my work perspective.

Sure I will be fine for 15 days in the islands of P.I again.  Although my itinerary looks so exhausting already traveling from the Capital down to the South - head back to the capital - and finally to the North, I am really not that sure how will I be able to gear myself up to battle this tiresome journey I will have for 2 weeks. 

Not just that.  My urge to feed myself with a not-so-extreme adventure again is up whenever I get a chance to have a long break.  I booked myself to join a hike to the Mayon Volcano on April 9 and 10!  This means that my not only 2 but 3 days stay more in the North will be spent in the Bicol region and only few days will be left for La Union before I head back to the Capital again to catch my flight back to the UAE on early 16th of April.

The P.I. trip will definitely be manageable, I hope (*wink).

****

For today's treat, here are some snapshots to keep an eye for (*wink).  Just pardon me with the as usual, not-so-good captures.  Have a blessed Sunday, everyone! - xxx

Lazy-dom (such a word!) hit me so this is the outfit I came up for today

By the way, managed to lose 5 kgs for almost 2 months now.  Yohoo, don't you think it's a great achievement? 

The Weekend That Was

Three more days sound a bit of a long wait before another weekend.  I am feeling exhausted and taking much of an effort to drag myself at work. The weekend was just over and I was feeling uneasy on a first working day of the week when I should have felt refreshed ready for a five-long working days.  That is because my weekend was spent on things I really did not want to do.  It wasn’t just a perfect timing spending the whole day outside and produce nothing. The day went wasted and I felt bad about it when I should have done something meaningful to cheer my weekend up. Organizing my wardrobe should have given me a nice smile before I started off the week. Don’t worry, I don’t blame anyone.

That’s fine.  Things happen beyond our control and even if we attempt to hold it off, we still can’t do anything but to embrace it, all in with the right spirit.

Ok, enough with ramblings and whining for that day. I should tell you that somehow I had a little nice time for myself on late Thursday night.  I headed to Marina Mall straight away after work to check a pair of leopard print-inspired shoes in Forever 21 but I found out that it looked more of a high booties than it is shown on the website. The purpose wasn’t served so I went for a movie ‘Just Go With It’ instead.

Another night, on a Friday.  Girlfriends meet up to cheer for a friend who joined a singing contest.  I was a bit hesitant to attend but it has been quite sometime that I wasn’t on the crowd so it might as well good to show up and go with the flow, and so I did. 

The good and not-so-good days are not yet over. I hurt my hands washing soo hard yesterday.  That is with my bare hands.  It may sound ridiculous, and yes it is, that I gave much importance on the fabric rather than taking care of my hands. Using gloves did not convince me so with the hand rashes. Would you ever dare to take the same challenge?

I can’t wait any longer for another weekend.  Hopefully for a relaxing weekend.  But before that happens, outfit posts will always be up here first.  This is for todays.

Black + White + Dot...dot...dot

Here's just a quick outfit post before I hit off the weekend.  A black and white combination topped with grey dotted bolero to flaunt the simple yet stylish touch of the whole outfit.

Who says wearing shorts at work will not be possible? But before thinking for such, do consider a review on the liberalism and conservatism of people around you.  That is why, a careful pick of top and accessories that will suit to pair with a shorts is just minimal to come up with a trendy yet classy outfit.

Accessories all from H&M IBN Battuta Mall - Dubai

The glow comes from a simple touch of make up

Strapped booties from F21 Marina Mall - Abu Dhabi

I will have the opportunity in solitude again for two days.  That means, a day off as well from blogging.  Allow me please to have the days spent for myself, well perhaps, as I will be doing a lot of exercise and cutting-off-the-fats sacrifices.  This is an initial plan and I hope I can keep it. 

Happy weekend everyone! - xxx
