Dressupdolly's One Year Anniversary

Today, my blog turns one year old. I am so happy of how well my blog turned out. At first, I thought it was another attempt of making a blog then later on I will get tired of it and eventually will abandon it. But, I thought wrong. 

I never thought I'd find this blog as a sanctuary wherein I could feel at ease by just writing and doing what I want. This blog is like a work station and a documentation for my dream. I know I still have a long way ahead of me. Right now, I just want to explore, to learn, and to just have fun.

Along the way, I found you guys. I know this may sound cheesy but to all my readers who are still there, here are some daisies for you hehe. Thank you for supporting my blog even though some of you are like a ghost reader. Make your presence known! I'd love to interact with you guys.

As much as I want to have a giveaway, I can't right now due to the small number of my followers. Maybe when I reach 100 followers, I'll consider a giveaway.

I'll end my post now since I don't want to get emotional and bore you guys.

See you guys on my next post!

Floral Monochrome

Dress from Forever 21
Cardigan from Candie's
Heels from Payless

I've been drowning from all the Korean dramas that have been piled up in my bookmarks tab and right now I'm trying to watch all of it. My sembreak basically includes me, staying home and watching korean dramas. As much as I want to go outside and have fun, the penniless side of me holds me back. So it took me some time to post another outfit post because I don't have a chance to dress up. The title itself describes what I'm feeling right now. My life feels dull due to the lack of activities. But not all monochrome is dull right? I mean, look at this dress, it perfectly describes fun. But, me wearing such high heels, I must say is not fun. To wrap things up, did any of you guys noticed that I had a haircut?

Tell me what you think!

Nursing Week 2013 Photo Diary

Starting with my first legit photo shoot, going on stage for the introduction of the candidates, showing the most energy during the talent show, getting a picture with Miss Earth Water Philippines, dressing with a gown made out of recycled materials, and last but not the least was strutting on stage with my VS Angels-inspired gown.

FYI: Nursing Week is a 3 days celebration in FEU-NRMF, School of Nursing, which is done annually. The celebration includes many food stalls and sing and dance numbers to portray the talents of different year levels. The search for the Mr. & Ms. Nursing is one of the highlights of Nursing week.

It has been a tiring and an enjoying week for me. Thank you to those people who supported and cheered for me during the pageant. I couldn't have done it without you guys, you know who you are. To my fellow candidates, congratulations! You guys are the most competitive, handsome, pretty, and friendly fellas I have ever seen. Everyone looked fab and glamorous last night. This pageant will be one of my experiences, I will never forget.

Now back to reality, one more week 'till the final exams and then it's sembreak!

BEHIND THE SCENES - Pageant Photo Shoot

These polaroids were taken last August 25 for the Mr. and Miss Nursing 2013. This is my first time to be in a legit photo shoot and it was a fun and a memorable experience. I get to work with a talented photographer, Mr. Jaggy Gangat. If you want to see some of his works you can check out his portfolio here. The outcome of this photo shoot will soon be out and I need your support for me to win the people's choice award. All you guys need to do is like the picture at Facebook and that's it! I am hoping to get all the help that I can get from you guys. I'll be posting the photos as soon as it is available.
Talk to you guys soon!

Eighteenth

Top and Skirt from Blackbakery  
Wedges from Parisian 
Vintage bag from City Sacs Paris

This outfit was first worn at my 18th birthday celebration. It is very comfortable and it doesn't make me feel hot during the day and cold during the night, since the weather in Manila is bipolar. But, I wasn't able to take an outfit pictures on the actual event because I am busy enjoying that night. So, I wore it again for the sake of this outfit post. I even forgot to wear the watch. I am a bit forgetful now maybe because I am already aging. Please excuse this granny.

On my way to where I shoot these photos, I got stared at by bystanders, laughed at by children and by teens who were at the playground and even got a rude comment by an old lady who happens to be our neighbor as well. But still, I pushed through it since I thought that there is nothing wrong about what I am doing. This is what makes me happy so as long as I am happy, I won't stop. To those mean people, God bless you and get a life.

Everytime readers read my blog, it always means a lot to me. So, I hope you like this post!
