Hello, this is my room. Well, parts of it. Only the good parts. And by “good” I mean the ones that are photogenic, those areas that have some semblance of order. Photo dump!
I work here *sometimes*. (Haha, I think I spend more time working in bed, or in the couch.)
My mirror is duuurrty, but it’s like, one of my most favorite things. Ever.
It was Mom’s idea to have my bed built in, totally saves up space! Love it!
This is what I wore to Bible Study last Thursday.

Two months ago, I took this photo while he was getting ready to serenade me with one of his love songs. <3
THIS ROOM IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, YOU HEAR??

Vanilla Twilight is playing on loop, first on my iTunes, now in my head. I wish I thought of writing these lines first.
The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone
Owl City is seriously making me want to paint stars and clouds on my wall.
Okay that’s it. Mornings are, without a doubt, not the best time for me to blog. :))
Happy Sunday, y’all!

..like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone lovin’.
Forgive me for overusing that line from a Jack Johnson song all over my social channels, it’s been playing in my head the whole week, no thanks to you! :P
Anyway, hey hey. I’m alive! I know I said I’d post a blog as soon as I’ve settled back home, but September came and overwhelmed the life out of me, and blogging *here* was the first thing that got pushed down the bottom of my list. Although that doesn’t mean I haven’t been typing my heart away elsewhere, I have! Actually, I have been journalling nonstop, unable to keep my thoughts to myself. Somewhere in Tumblr, in case you’re curious, just because Tumblr strikes me as the social blogging platform where mush and cheese are very much accepted, appreciated even. LOL.
Obligatory explanations out of the way, I’m here to post some photos! To start with, can I just say I’m in looove with my blue walls and the sight of polaroids and instax photos all over my room? <3
I wasn’t sure where to put these polaroids (600). I used to just keep them in a box, but they’re way too pretty to be kept in the dark. So I got this photo holder from Ikea courtesy of my friend Olivia, but I have to screw it on the wall and I still haven’t found time to drill holes, pff. Ergo, I resorted to just putting the photos up with (ta-da!) magic tape, for now. I kinda love how it turned out. :)
Ohh, I just looove this side of my desk. <3
LOL. Isaac was in my room the other day, and I was in the mood to take photos. Haha check out the result of our little pictorial. :)) Mehh, I hope he knows that one Polaroid sheet costs about 250 pesos. That means, this failed photo session just costed me P500! Isaac you are sooo kyot!
And yay more instax on my cork board, too! Can’t get enough of these instant film photographs! (You want? Visit Polaroid Philippines yo!)
One last thing, the guy in the photos? Ask and I shall make kwento. <3
Okay that’s it. Ta! :)

I’ve grown to love looking at interior design magazines/catalogs and window shopping for furniture as much as I love shopping for shoes and clothes. In fact, I’ve invested so much on furniture since I moved out 4-5 years ago, and now that I’m moving back to my parents’ home (and to a smaller room space), I have to let a bunch of my *cough* investments go.
Imagine how I drooled over the 2011 Ikea catalog that came out just recently (Thanks to Mariel for the blog alert!). I have yet to get my hands on the real glossy thing (I’m counting on you, Mae, for my copy!!), but I’m enjoying the online version in the meantime.
I like looking at home office inspirations as I have been working from home for almost 2 years now. I always believe that one’s working environment affects productivity big time, one of the reasons why I rented an apartment with an extra room I can convert to a work space. These are some of the my favorite home office layouts in the Ikea Catalog:
When I discussed with my mother that I’m coming back home, we talked about constructing a home office for me–not a bedroom–thinking that I could just squat in her room. But upon realizing that I have too many clothes and shoes and stuff to fit in her extra closet space and cabinets, we decided that the home office would now double as a bed room with a huge closet that can house all my clutter as well.
I love Ikea’s organized closets, but since we don’t have Ikea here in the Philippines, my Mom and I had a floor-to-ceiling closet custom-made back home that looks pretty much like this:
And of course I already said that I want my walls painted blue, and I want it vibrant/dark blue, not pale (because pale just won’t work with the dusty and polluted Manila air). Also, I want vibrant accent colors everywhere, pretty much like this room right here:
